She saw stars, began to lose consciousness, and her hands became weak.

Xu Zheng rushed over and grabbed her hand, while Meng Yin and Tao Tao behind her grabbed her skirt.

Fortunately, the roof above collapsed and the smoke inside was not thick, otherwise their situation would have been serious.

Han Liuyi had fainted, with blood flowing from her forehead. Xu Zheng picked her up, first took her down through the window and put her on the ground, then came up to pick up Meng Yin and Tao Tao.

The three did not dare to delay and left before the house collapsed.

"Oh my god, that was so dangerous just now. Fortunately, nothing happened!" Meng Yin shouted while running.

The three of them received the news from the jade slip. In order to prevent them from getting into trouble, Meng Yin and the others tried their best to get them to bring their trusted men with them.

Although they left someone with them, they were arranged to look for clues elsewhere. With A Zheng around, they didn't think too much about it. They didn't expect to encounter such a vicious plot!

"Yinyin, do you think this is right?" Tao Tao couldn't run anymore. She leaned against the wall, her chest heaving violently.

"Something's wrong! Someone is definitely trying to harm us!" Meng Yin also stopped and squatted down in front.

Xu Zheng put Han Liuyi down and said, "Taozi, come and take a look. She is bleeding."

Tao Tao immediately stepped forward and checked her head. The wound was not big, just a wooden board falling down, and there might be some concussion.

She simply tore off her skirt and gave her a simple bandage.

Meng Yin caught a glimpse of the token on her waist, which was exactly the same as the one on the corpse.

She suddenly remembered that Han Liuyi had said before that she was from Nanmen Jian, and she just said that she was here to find her fellow senior brother. It seemed that the man should be her senior brother, also from Nanmen Jian.

Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and a round object fell out of Han Liuyi's sleeve and rolled to her feet.

"What is this?" Meng Yin picked it up and looked at it for a few seconds, but couldn't see any mystery.

She took it close and sniffed it, vaguely smelling a scent of gunpowder.

"Let's go back first. Her injuries need medicine." Tao Tao said, and she and Meng Yin put her on Xu Zheng's back.

When she returned to Yi Mansion, Xia Nian and Xia Hou Yu were just in the yard. She looked up and saw that the three of them were covered in dust on their faces and bodies, and Xu Zheng was carrying someone on her back. She was shocked and stepped forward immediately.

"What's going on!?" She looked the three people up and down, and felt relieved only after making sure that they were okay.

Xu Zheng first put Han Liuyi into the house, and the maid immediately called a doctor.

Meng Yin and Tao Tao took a breath and told Xia Nian what happened today.

"What!?" She clenched her hands, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"Someone did it on purpose, right?" Meng Yin looked at her, took out the token from her arms, and handed it to Xiahou Yu, "Master Xiahou, do you know this?"

Xiahou Yu took it, frowned and nodded: "This is the token of Nanmen Sword."

"That corpse was murdered." Tao Tao said, "There were traces of being entangled on his body, and his neck was almost strangled!"

Xia Nian held their hands. Her heart palpitated when she thought about the horrible thing that happened to the three of them. Fortunately, they were not injured.

Xiahou Yu lowered his brows and pondered for a while, then said, "There is indeed a sect in the Jianghu that is good at using whips, water sleeves, etc., and most of the techniques they practice are to overcome hardness with softness."

"Is it Bishui Villa?" Meng Yin asked.

Xiahou Yu nodded: "The jade pendant from Bishui Villa was also found in that teahouse yesterday."

Xia Nian glanced at Han Liuyi inside and said, "When she wakes up, she will know who killed that person."

After saying that, she looked at the slightly tired eyes of the three people and felt very uncomfortable.

Xia Houyu held her hand: "Anian, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, we haven't been with you for a long time, and yet we have encountered so many things." She answered truthfully.

Xiahou Yu gritted his teeth. He was also very angry, so he wanted to find the jade slip as soon as possible. The same went for Gu Ling and the others.

"Sorry..." he sighed.

Xia Nian shook his head and said, "It's not your fault."

It's really not their fault. It was the old man who sent them to the time when the four of them were just beginning to make a name for themselves. Now the four of them haven't officially taken over the family and the sect, and there are so many people in the world eyeing them covetously, and sometimes they really don't have time to focus.

"Actually, I've always wondered why those people wanted to harm us." Meng Yin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"How do they know that Gu Ling and the others are familiar with us? How do they know the extent of their familiarity? They even stubbornly set their target on us. Is it because they know how important we are to the four of them?" She expressed her doubts, and the people present followed her thoughts.

"Someone deliberately leaked the news, and that person knows us very well and knows our situation." Xia Nian continued.

"That's right." Meng Yin nodded.

"But who is that person? What is the purpose of doing this? To make Xiahou Yu and the others unable to recover? Or... to vacate an extremely important position beside them." Xia Nian guessed what the man was thinking and felt a chill on his back.

"Their important position... confidant? Wife!" Tao Tao suddenly realized.

Only if they die, those people will have the opportunity to establish relationships with the four major families through the people they send to them.

They felt that those people were really terrible. They had no chance of becoming their wives, but they still took action. It was obvious that they would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.

They were silent for a while until the maid inside came to report that Han Liuyi had woken up.

"Are you feeling okay?" Tao Tao asked, bending over slightly.

Han Liuyi held her forehead with her hand. She still had a headache. When she saw the four people standing in front of her bed, she was dazed for a moment and said reluctantly, "It's okay, it's just a headache..."

"Ms. Han, why did you come in when the restaurant was on fire?" Meng Yin asked her directly.

Han Liuyi looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, because someone told me that my fellow senior brother was inside. I saw the fire and was worried that something might happen to him, so I came here."

"Your senior brother... is dead." Tao Tao saw that her face was pale and thought of the tragic state of the corpse. She didn't know how to tell her for a moment.

"Dead?" She opened her cherry lips slightly, tears in her eyes, "How did he die?"

"This...you should heal your wounds first." Tao Tao said.

Meng Yin and Xu Zheng also tacitly did not speak. After all, the death of the body was really horrible. It was better for them not to tell Han Liuyi about her current condition.

"It's Bishui Villa! It has to be!" She clutched the quilt tightly, her delicate face twisted in pain.

"Why are you so sure?" Xiahou Yu, leaning against the door frame, suddenly asked.

"Because we have a grudge against them!" Han Liuyi closed her eyes, bit her lips, and tears as big as beans rolled down, looking so pitiful.

Xiahou Yu remained silent. Could it be that what happened to Xia Nian last night and the fire today were really the work of Bishui Villa?

But he knew Zhong Ziyi, the owner of Bishui Villa, and he was sure that he was not a vicious person.

"You should have a good rest first." Xia Nian said, and pushed the three of them out.

After a few people left, the pain in Han Liuyi's eyes instantly turned into anger.

Nothing happened to them, but they got into trouble instead!

A feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart and she leaned against the wall. Suddenly, she saw a piece of blood-stained cloth beside her.

She vaguely remembered that Tao Tao's skirt was this color, and she seemed to see a piece of her skirt torn off just now.

She frowned, pursed her lips, and thought about what happened in the restaurant.

If Xu Zheng hadn't rushed over in time, she would probably have died.

I was the mastermind behind their murder, but they saved me.

Even though Han Liuyi thought she was a heartless person, she couldn't help but feel moved.

Thinking of the dejected looks of the three people just now, she kept comforting herself that she was doing things for her father, and if they were in her place, they would do the same!

Arriving at the inner courtyard, Xia Nian asked Xia Houyu: "Do you think it was done by Bishui Villa?"

Xia Houyu expressed his opinion: "Now all the evidence points to it, we have to doubt it."

"The four of us all know the owner of Bishui Villa. He is not a combative person," he added.

"Well, people who don't like fighting are involved in fights again and again. It seems that someone is doing it on purpose." Xia Nian sat down. "What if someone wants Bishui Villa to take the blame on purpose? It's not impossible."

Xiahou Yu nodded: "When they come back, we will go to Bishui Villa."

Xia Nian met his dark eyes and nodded slightly.
