"The reason..."
Liu Hong's gaze shifted north, toward the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, as he spoke in a low voice,
"If I'm not mistaken, that person must have done it to help the Xiao Family."
According to his deduction, Liu Wen and Xiao Dongchen must have been targeted by that person for some reason.
Then, that person took advantage of the Bright Moon Building's trip to the Three Towns to eliminate all of them at once.
Realization dawned on Liu Taofang's face. "Dad, are you saying the three hundred thousand silver taels the Xiao Family got from Xiao Dongchen... belonged to my cousin, Liu Wen?"
"So you're not completely hopeless."
"I don't know what method he used, but judging by the result, that person is no simple character."
At this, Liu Hong's expression grew even colder.
"Fortunately, you and Lin Huai'an were well hidden, so that person probably didn't uncover your identity. Otherwise..."
