Chapter 41: Arrogant and Daring Thief (2)

"It's… it's…" The Guard hesitated to tell the truth. If he wrongly accused the Eldest Young Master, wouldn't that be… At this moment, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself. It would have been better if he hadn't said so much just now.

"Speak!" Su Zian kicked the Guard, sending him heavily to the ground.

"It's… it's the Eldest Young Master!" The Guard coughed up a mouthful of blood from the kick. He clutched his chest and shouted, "This jade pendant belongs to the Eldest Young Master!"

"What did you say!" Su Zian kicked him again fiercely. "Who else could you accuse? How dare you say this jade pendant belongs to the Eldest Young Master? How is that possible!"

Just then, someone came to report loudly.

"Great General! That thief disappeared after entering the Eldest Young Master's Qiankun Courtyard!"

These words descended like sweet rain, instantly saving the Guard's life.

"What did you say? That thief disappeared after entering the Eldest Young Master's courtyard?" Su Zian's face was terrifyingly cold. He grabbed the servant by the collar, his face twisted in a ferocious sneer, "Say it again!"

That Guard didn't know what had happened here before. He was just reporting the truth, so when Su Zian grabbed his collar, he looked confused but still stammered, "I didn't lie. That thief really disappeared in the Eldest Young Master's courtyard, and… and Nanny Gui was killed on a small path not far from the Eldest Young Master's courtyard, and there's a maid to testify…"

Now, almost all evidence pointed to Su Jingyu.

However, Su Zian still didn't believe it.

Su Jingyu was his most valued son, the undisputed heir to the Su Residence in the future. He had no reason to do this!

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

Su Zian refused to believe that the son he had personally nurtured would betray him.

However, the thief had indeed disappeared in the Qiankun Courtyard, so he still had to go and clarify the matter.

Su Zian led a large group of people, rushing towards the Qiankun Courtyard.

Upon arriving at the Qiankun Courtyard, they found Su Bowu confronting Su Jingyu.

"Jingyu!" Su Zian glared at him coldly. "What do you want to do? Betray your master and destroy your ancestors?"

Su Jingyu was about to confront Su Bowu, but seeing Su Zian, he quickly said to Su Zian, "Father, you're finally here. You must uphold justice for me! I have no idea what happened, but Second Grandfather keeps accusing me of being the thief!"

Su Zian looked at Su Bowu.

Su Bowu sneered, "If it's not you, then who is it? That thief is hiding in your courtyard. If you're innocent, why are you afraid of letting people search!"

"Second Uncle—" Su Zian was about to speak but was interrupted by Su Bowu.

"Zian, Second Uncle personally saw that thief enter the Qiankun Courtyard. Even if Jingyu is your son, he can't escape responsibility." The thief was severely injured and stumbled, unable to run far. If Su Jingyu hadn't kept blocking him, he would have caught the culprit already.

Su Zian's face was filled with grief. Finally, he closed his eyes and said painfully, "Second Uncle… the Treasure Pavilion was robbed."

"What did you say!" Su Bowu's expression immediately changed, becoming extremely ugly. "What was stolen?"

"heavenly spirit water, and… the treasure map…" Su Zian was so frustrated he wanted to bang his head against the wall!

Su Bowu's face instantly turned extremely grim. He swayed, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He only now realized that the opponent had used a diversionary tactic!

The opponent had diverted him, and then another person took the opportunity to sneak into the Treasure Pavilion. Thinking of this, Su Bowu wished he could punch himself in the head.
