Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Smashing the Shop (7)

In his deep black eyes, Gu Yelin carried a hint of admiration as he glanced at the four Blood Generals and then turned to leave.

The sabotage at Yuyuanzhai in Yu City was peculiar.

A sleepless night.

In Yu City, An Yiqing, Zhang Yuksheng, and Zhang Heng spent the entire night watching surveillance footage at the Yuyuanzhai headquarters, which exhausted Zhang Yuksheng and Zhang Heng to the point of constant yawning with bloodshot eyes. In contrast, An Yiqing looked normal, her eyes clear and her whole demeanor as refreshed as if she had just woken up.

Zhang Heng struggled to open his eyes and looked at An Yiqing in terror, as if he were looking at a monster.

Zhang Yuksheng playfully patted Zhang Heng’s shoulder and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Brother, don’t be surprised. You’ll get used to it. The young lady can do things we can’t."

Zhang Heng nodded his head in amazement, at a loss for words.

"Miss, have you found anything? I’ve been staring at the footage all night and haven’t noticed anything," Zhang Yuksheng reviewed the surveillance video again. On the computer screen, a group of men wearing duckbill caps and carrying knives and clubs burst into Yuyuanzhai without a word and started smashing things. The footage from other branches showed similar scenes. They seemed to know that Yuyuanzhai was surrounded by cameras, hence the duckbill caps and masks. Other than discerning that they were male from their build, no other information could be gleaned.

Could the trail really end here? Was it truly impossible to find these people? A sense of frustration grew in Zhang Yuksheng’s heart.

At that moment, the usually silent An Yiqing gently parted her lips.

"The incidents at these branches happened around the same time. They must be different people, but I’m sure they’re all from the same force. However," An Yiqing pointed to the main branch’s surveillance video and said slowly, "despite their fierce entrance, have you noticed that they did not specifically target anyone? If they were ordinary thugs collecting protection money, they should have stolen the jade. But they were just crazily smashing things, as if they wanted to make as much of a scene as possible."

Zhang Yuksheng and Zhang Heng put their heads together and replayed the footage from Yuyuanzhai’s main branch, gradually noticing the same details.

"Isn’t that right? They neither stole nor hurt anyone; they just deliberately came to wreck the place. Miss, could it be that they were sent by our rivals?" Zhang Yuksheng’s guess wasn’t implausible, considering how popular Yuyuanzhai’s brand was, with monthly sales in the tens of millions. It would be hard to believe there were no envious competitors.

An Yiqing had considered the possibility of jealousy from competitors but quickly dismissed it.

"It’s unlikely that they were sent by competitors. Yu City is not far from Xuandu City, and any happenings in Xuandu would quickly become known here. I’ve investigated all the jade brands in Yu City, and none has the backing to oppose the An Family. Wise people know better than to engage in petty scheming; it’s more beneficial to be on good terms with Yuyuanzhai."

An Yiqing’s reasoning was sound; with the An Family recognized as nobility in Xuanjin, their status and power were not to be underestimated. Though the An Family may seem like a regular aristocratic household to the Ancient Martial Arts Families, to these businessmen, the An Family was an unattainable existence. These business people would rush to ingratiate themselves with such a noble house, not dare to offend it.

Now that Yuyuanzhai had taken over the entire northern market of Xuanjin, everyone knew that An Yiqing was the owner, and behind An Yiqing was the An Family. Who would dare to try to pluck a hair from the tiger’s back and not be weary of their life?
