Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 60 Discovering the Conspiracy

Ever since Gu Yu was arrested after his failed arson attempt on the Marquis's warehouse, Su Jinxiu had a feeling that things weren't so simple. Behind Gu Yu's crazed eyes and reckless actions seemed to lie a deeper conspiracy.

Su Jinxiu decided to investigate the matter herself. She started by tracking Gu Yu's recent movements, sending trusted confidants to follow the people he had previously contacted.

"We must find out exactly who he met with and what he said during this period," Su Jinxiu instructed.

After several days of surveillance and investigation, the confidant brought back some important clues. It turned out that after falling on hard times, Gu Yu had frequent contact with a mysterious man in black.

"Miss, they are always very careful when they meet, choosing secluded corners and keeping their conversations very short," the confidant reported.

Su Jinxiu frowned, pondering the identity of the mysterious man in black. She began to examine some old files and intelligence from the Marquis's mansion, trying to find clues related to the man in black.

During this process, Su Jinxiu discovers that some of the Marquis's former rivals have subtle connections with this mysterious man in black.

"Could it be that they are unwilling to accept the rise of the Marquis's Mansion and want to sabotage things in secret again?" Su Jinxiu wondered to herself.

In order to obtain more information, Su Jinxiu decided to risk getting close to Gu Yu.

While Gu Yu was imprisoned, she disguised herself as a food delivery maid and sneaked in.

"Gu Yu, you've fallen to this state, and you still don't know how to repent?" Su Jinxiu said in a low voice.

Gu Yu raised his head, his eyes filled with hatred: "Su Jinxiu, don't be too smug. None of you will have a good ending."

Su Jinxiu remained calm and continued to probe: "Do you think you can succeed just because you have someone backing you up?"

Gu Yu's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his ferocious look: "Don't try to trick me into saying anything."

Although Gu Yu did not reveal any more information, Su Jinxiu confirmed her guess from the changes in his expression.

After leaving the prison, Su Jinxiu intensified her investigation. She gathered intelligence through various channels, even resorting to using the Marquis's connections in the martial arts world.

During the investigation, Su Jinxiu encountered numerous difficulties. Some people tried to prevent her from obtaining crucial information, while others threatened her.

"Miss Su, I advise you not to investigate any further, or you will bear the consequences." An anonymous letter was delivered to Su Jinxiu.

But Su Jinxiu was not intimidated by these threats; instead, she became even more determined to uncover the conspiracy.

After much effort, Su Jinxiu finally discovered some crucial evidence. It turned out that the mysterious man in black was a subordinate of a powerful figure in the capital, and they were attempting to monopolize the capital's commercial market by suppressing the Marquis's residence.

"What a sinister plot!" Su Jinxiu clenched her fists.

However, just as she was preparing to submit the evidence to the relevant authorities, an unexpected incident occurred.

She discovered that the evidence she had collected had vanished without a trace, and her trusted confidants were also disappearing one after another.

"What on earth is going on?" Su Jinxiu felt a chill run down her spine.

At this moment, Xiao Ling also noticed Su Jinxiu's unusual behavior and asked what was wrong.

"Jinxiu, what happened? You've looked worried lately," Xiao Ling asked.

Su Jinxiu told him what had happened.

Xiao Ling pondered for a moment: "It seems our opponent is stronger than we imagined, but don't be afraid, we'll face it together."

Just as they were preparing to search for evidence again to deal with the conspiracy, the Marquis's residence suddenly received an invitation...
