Shen Mo, Lin Yuwei's brother and Brother Wang sat together, discussing solemnly how to deal with the threat from the rich young man.

Brother Wang was the first to break the silence, saying worriedly, "This rich young man is called Zhao Yu, and he is the only son of Mr. Zhao, the richest man in the city. The Zhao family's businesses are spread across all industries in the city, and they are well connected."

Shen Mo frowned and asked, "What kind of person is Zhao Yu?"

The elder brother snorted, "Zhao Yu has taken advantage of his family's power to bully men and women. But in the past, those who were bullied by him dared not speak out."

Shen Mo clenched his fists, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "How can we let such a villain succeed!"

Brother Wang sighed, "It is said that Master Zhao dotes on his son very much. No matter what mistakes he makes, he will do everything he can to make it right."

Lin Yuwei listened from the side, looking worried: "Then what should we do?"

Shen Mo comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Miss Lin. I will definitely protect you."

My brother pondered for a moment and said, "I have heard that although the Zhao family is rich, their relationships in the officialdom are quite complicated. Mr. Zhao secretly colluded with many officials for business, and offended some upright people because of this."

Brother Wang's eyes lit up: "Perhaps we can find a breakthrough from here."

Shen Mo shook his head: "We can't be reckless about this matter. If we don't have solid evidence and easily involve official affairs, I'm afraid it will bring us even greater trouble."

At this time, there was a noise outside the door. It turned out that Zhao Yu's servants were shouting at the Lin family's door: "Lin family girl, if you know what's good for you, quickly agree to this marriage, otherwise you will be in trouble!"

Shen Mo was furious and rushed out the door: "Don't be so rude here!"

The servants saw Shen Mo and showed no intention of backing down: "Humph, you dare to go against our young master, you really don't know your place!"

Shen Mo said sternly: "Go back and tell that so-called young master of yours that Miss Lin will never marry him!"

The servants sneered, "Just wait and see!" and then left.

Back inside the house, everyone felt even more depressed.

My brother said, "It seems that Zhao Yu is determined to marry Yu Wei. We have to hurry up and find a solution."

Shen Mo pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go find out if there are any close associates of Zhao Yu. Maybe I can find some evidence against him from them."

Brother Wang nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea, but you have to be careful."

Shen Mo replied: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Afterwards, Shen Mo went out to get information. He visited everywhere in the city and finally learned from a servant who used to work for the Zhao family that Zhao Yu had a confidant named Li Si, who knew many of Zhao Yu's secrets.

Shen Mo found the pub that Li Si frequented and waited there. Finally, Li Si showed up. Shen Mo calmly sat down next to Li Si and started chatting with him.

Shen Mo pretended to be casual and said, "I heard that the young master of the Zhao family is pursuing a girl recently. This matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city."

Li Si took a sip of wine and said disdainfully: "That girl from the Lin family doesn't know what's good for her. It's her good fortune that our young master likes her."

Shen Mo took the opportunity to say, "This young master is so persistent, I guess he is really moved. I just wonder what his hobbies are on a daily basis?"

Li Si glanced at Shen Mo warily: "Why are you asking these questions?"

Shen Mo quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm just curious, don't worry."

Li Si took another sip of wine and said, "Our young master likes cockfighting, dog racing, eating, drinking and having fun on weekdays."

Shen Mo continued to ask, "Has the young master ever done anything out of the ordinary?"

Li Si hesitated for a moment and said, "There are some things that cannot be said carelessly."

Shen Mo quietly handed Li Si a silver ingot and said, "Brother, just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone."

Li Si looked at the silver and said in a low voice, "Once, the young master got jealous of someone and beat him half to death. It was only Mr. Zhao who spent a lot of money to settle the matter."

Shen Mo was secretly delighted and asked, "What else?"

Li Si was about to speak, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and kept silent: "I can't say any more. If I say more, I will die." After saying this, he hurried away.

Shen Mo got the news and hurried back to discuss with everyone. However, what they didn't know was that Zhao Yu had already noticed their actions and was preparing to give them a heavy blow.
