Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"Your Highness, Yue'er was forced by the situation at the time and had no choice but to do this..."

Hearing him say this, Li Wanyue's face showed a look of grievance, and tears in her eyes tried to defend herself.

But Fu Zhun had heard such lies too many times and was already tired of it.

Before she could finish her words, Fu Zhun frowned, raised his hand, and ordered her to leave in a distant tone.

"Miss Li, there's no need to say more. Regardless of the original reason, the fact that our engagement has been dissolved is an established fact. To me, Miss Li is no longer a stranger. Please don't disturb my life anymore. Jian Yi, show me away!"

As soon as the last word fell, Jian Yi's figure flashed behind Li Wanyue and clasped his fists in a deep voice.

"Miss Li, please!"

Seeing that Fu Zhun was determined to protect this wild woman, Li Wanyue clutched her sleeves jealously and glared at her angrily. Then she turned around unwillingly and left with a twisted waist.

Su An was naturally very happy when he successfully turned the game around.

Fu Zhun raised his black eyes and looked at Su An, just in time to see her holding her head high to show off to Li Wanyue. He just found it funny for a moment, with some doting on the corner of his mouth, and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing that the man had disappeared, Su An came up to him with a smile on his face and patted his shoulder in an air of superiority.

"You did a good job on this. You must not be soft-hearted towards this kind of green tea, otherwise you will hurt others and yourself!"

"green tea?"

Fu Zhun didn't understand what she said. He glanced at the soft hand on his shoulder with a puzzled look in his eyes. His thin lips moved slightly and he kept repeating these two words.

Su An scratched her head. Everyone called it that. How did she know the origin of green tea?

He frowned and thought for a long time about the words, but couldn't come up with any, so he just waved his hand perfunctorily.

"I'm not in a position to explain how the term 'green tea' came to be. Just remember, it refers to someone who appears innocent and kind on the surface, but is actually vicious at heart."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. We only have three days to investigate the assassination. How do you plan to investigate?"

Speaking of this, Su An couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Fu Zhun was also implicated by her and was thus stuck in the current deadlock.

It is reasonable and logical for her to assist in the investigation and work together to find the truth.

But the owner was not in a hurry. He pushed the wheelchair slowly up the stairs and gave some instructions casually.

"Of course we have to investigate from the weak points. An Si, go find Wang Yi. I want to interrogate him personally."

"Order!"

An Si emerged from the darkness, knelt on his knees, and responded loudly.

Seeing this, Su An hurriedly followed and gave him a push.

Not long after, the waiter Wang Yi was dragged into the room by An Si by the collar.

Perhaps he had anticipated what would happen, for he was shaking like a sieve. He knelt on the ground with his head down, not daring to look up at them.

Su An stared at him for a long time, but could not find any memory of this person in his mind.

After all, she was new here and she didn't come into contact with him often.

"You, raise your head!" She stood directly in front of Wang Yi and said condescendingly.

Hearing this, Wang Yi swallowed, then raised his head tremblingly, glanced at them quickly, and then lowered his eyes.

With just one glance, Su An could tell that he was guilty.

She sat down, narrowed her eyes, and asked sternly.

"Wang Yi, let me ask you, how have I treated you and the other employees in this shop over the years? Why did you betray me?"

"I don't. I don't know anything."

Wang Yi shook his head almost subconsciously and refuted loudly.

The sharp gaze fell on him, as if he wanted to torture him to death.

Fu Zhun's slender index finger tapped gently on the handle of the wheelchair, each time, as if tapping on his heart.

Wang Yi's whole body was tense and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.

After a long silence, he spoke softly.

"Have you thought it through? This prince wants to hear the truth."

For some reason, Wang Yi heard a hint of murderous intent in these words, and his body shrank inexplicably.

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, he had no choice but to kowtow to Fu Zhun repeatedly, pointing at Su An with a sincere face and accusing Fu Zhun.

"Please understand, Your Highness, this matter truly has nothing to do with me. That day, I personally saw Boss Su writing a letter. I initially thought it was an ordinary letter and didn't take it seriously. But by coincidence, I discovered it was a letter of treason."

"I was afraid that Boss Su would find out I knew her secret and kill me to silence her, so I fled overnight. Everything I said is true."

These words made Su An laugh out of anger.

She folded her arms, crossed her legs, swung her feet leisurely in the air, sneered, and said sarcastically.

"Everyone who knows me knows that my family is always around me and I never write letters. Even if you want to lie and frame me, you should at least investigate my background thoroughly beforehand! There are so many loopholes, it's really boring."

Hearing her say this, Wang Yi was a little confused and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just as he was scrutinizing the situation, thinking about how to respond, Fu Zhun sneered and recited his life story.

"Wang Yi, you are originally from Jizhou. A drought forced you to leave your home and migrate south to seek a living. You ended up in Fuyou County, and just when Miss Su was recruiting talented individuals, you decided to join this shop. Am I right?"

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Your Highness is right. In times of crisis, it was Boss Su who gave me a foothold. If it weren't for the life-threatening situation, how could I have fled here and continued to live such a hopeless life?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Zhun's eyes flashed and he flicked his fingertips.

A silver needle flew out from the handle of the wheelchair, brushed Wang Yi's earlobe, and nailed to the wooden stake behind him.

Fu Zhun looked straight at Wang Yi with a dark light in his eyes.

"How dare you deceive me? While one's identity can be faked, one's accent is something one has been exposed to since childhood. No matter how hard you try to disguise it, there will always be flaws. You are clearly a Northern Hu spy."

"Since you refuse to tell the truth, then you can't blame me for being so cruel. Jian Yi, take him away for a thorough interrogation!"

Wang Yi touched the severed hair by his ear in shock and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Not to mention him, even Su An was surprised for a moment.

Just now, she was only focused on asking questions and didn't pay much attention. Instead, Fu Zhun was able to recognize Wang Yi's identity from his accent. He was really meticulous. No wonder he dared to accept the three-day appointment.

She had worried about him in vain.

Seeing that Jian Yi was about to torture him, Wang Yi finally got scared and confessed to Fu Zhun in a crying voice.

"I'll tell you everything! I'm indeed a Hu person, and I wrote the letter in advance and put it in Boss Su's room."

"But I was also instructed to frame Boss Su. It was Miss Li. She gave me a large sum of money and said that if I could put the blame on Boss Su, she would give me a thousand taels of silver!"

"Although I have no worries about food and drink in the shop and my livelihood is stable, I can't earn a thousand taels of silver in my lifetime. That's why I had evil thoughts and agreed to her promise!"
