Shen Mo hurried back to the Lin family with the news he got from Li Si, and reunited with Lin Yuwei, his brother and Brother Wang.

"I heard from Li Si that Zhao Yu once beat someone half to death because of jealousy, and it was only with the help of Mr. Zhao's money that the matter was settled." Shen Mo said.

The elder brother frowned: "Although this can illustrate Zhao Yu's arrogance, this alone is not enough to make him give up the idea."

Brother Wang agreed, "Yes, we still need more strong evidence to make him back down."

Lin Yuwei looked worried: "So what should we do next?"

Shen Mo thought for a moment: "I think we can start with Zhao Yu's business, maybe we can find out something illegal."

Everyone thought this direction was feasible, so they decided to split up and collect relevant clues.

Shen Mo and Brother Wang began to inquire about the Zhao family's business dealings in various shops in the city. His brother went to visit some merchants who had disputes with the Zhao family, and Lin Yuwei sorted out the information collected from all parties at home.

After several days of hard work, they finally made some discoveries.

Shen Mo said: "I found that the Zhao family seemed to have the suspicion of lowering prices and forcing sales when trading with some merchants from other places."

My brother also brought back news: "Several merchants were threatened and harassed by unknown persons because they refused to cooperate with the Zhao family."

Brother Wang added: "And there seem to be problems with some of the Zhao family's accounts."

Just when they thought they had found a breakthrough, they discovered that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.

Zhao Yu seemed to have noticed their actions and began to counter them.

One day, Shen Mo and Brother Wang were on their way to investigate when they were suddenly attacked by a group of masked men. Fortunately, Shen Mo and Brother Wang had some kung fu skills and managed to escape.

The merchants my brother visited also changed their tune, no longer willing to provide any information, and some even avoided my brother.

Lin Yuwei also received a threatening letter at home, warning her not to interfere in the matter again.

Everyone was in trouble again.

Shen Mo said angrily: "This Zhao Yu is so arrogant!"

Brother Wang said worriedly, "It seems that we have touched his weak spot, which is why he fought back so frantically."

My brother calmly analyzed: "The more this happens, the more it proves that our direction is correct. It's just that we need to be more cautious now."

Lin Yuwei said firmly: "No matter what, we can't back down."

So, they decided to change their strategy. Shen Mo and Brother Wang decided to secretly monitor Zhao Yu's whereabouts, hoping to find more direct evidence. Brother Wang went to find some people who used to work in the Zhao family but left because of dissatisfaction, trying to get more inside information from them. Lin Yuwei continued to organize and analyze the existing information, looking for key clues.

During a surveillance, Shen Mo and Brother Wang discovered that Zhao Yu was meeting with a mysterious person in a remote corner. They approached cautiously, trying to hear their conversation clearly.

All I heard was Zhao Yu saying, "That matter must be dealt with cleanly, and no one can find out."

The mysterious man responded: "Don't worry, sir, everything has been arranged."

Unfortunately, before they could hear more, they were discovered by Zhao Yu's men and had to flee quickly.

The elder brother also made some progress. He found a man who used to be the accountant of the Zhao family. This man was dismissed because he was unwilling to participate in the illegal activities of the Zhao family and he had a grudge against the Zhao family.

The husband revealed to his brother: "The Zhao family manipulated the taxation and colluded with some officials to seek improper benefits."

Lin Yuwei combined these new clues with previous information and discovered some hidden connections.

However, just as they were about to conduct further investigation, Zhao Yu suddenly came to their door.

Zhao Yu said smugly, "You ignorant people, you still want to fight me? I advise you to give up as soon as possible, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Shen Mo was not afraid: "Don't even think about making us surrender!"

Zhao Yu sneered and said, "Just wait and see!" Then he walked away.

Everyone knew that the next struggle would be more difficult, but none of them had the slightest intention of retreating.
