Zhao Ye was gripped by anxiety, yet he grasped the gravity of the situation at hand. Patience was his only recourse.

The weight of parting with 1,000 liang without any return gnawed at him incessantly.

Strategist Yang returned to the official, who responded with a sly, enigmatic grin, leaving Yang feeling bewildered and strangely unsettled.

The official calmly remarked, “If the Zhao Family truly harbors suspicions, we can forward the document to the government office. They, in turn, can dispatch someone to retrieve Zheng Qing from the mulberry garden, and I shall personally oversee this investigation.”

Strategist Yang… faltered.

Why did he have the nagging feeling that he was missing something in the official’s words?

“Officer, please pardon my ignorance, but this case…” He simply couldn’t fathom the intricacies of this situation.

The officer had already gleaned from Shao Yunduan that Madame Shao was the purchaser. However, Officer Shao had urged him to maintain secrecy, a directive he intended to honor.

The officer took satisfaction in his strategist’s inquiries. He retorted with a sneer, “The Zhao Family’s internal affairs are their own concern. The buyer holds a valid contract, and the mulberry fields are now rightfully theirs. Is that not logical? The Zhao Family should confront Young Master Zhao to ascertain the truth, yet they persist in accusing Zheng Qing of theft. Is it not absurd?”

“A hundred thousand mulberry fields, the monetary stakes are astronomical! The Zhao Family is audacious to engage in such machinations!”

Strategist Yang’s expression underwent a transformation. He had entertained such thoughts previously, but after hearing the officer’s words, he found them increasingly dubious.

It appeared that the officer’s intent was to let them proceed unchecked, allowing them to pursue their hidden agenda.

After some contemplation, Strategist Yang surmised that Madame Shao and her spouse possessed formidable connections. The officer, he concluded, must be aware of this but was unwilling to divulge the truth to him.

As the strategist, he possessed a keen awareness of what he needed to know and what was better left undisclosed. He held no suspicions that the Officer was concealing information from him.

Respectfully, he acknowledged, “Certainly, Officer, I understand.”

Strategist Yang promptly conveyed this to Zhao Ye. Without hesitation, Zhao Ye drafted the necessary document and entrusted it to Strategist Yang for delivery to the officer, scheduling the retrieval of Zheng Qing from the mulberry garden the following morning to avoid any potential flight.

With a mischievous grin, Strategist Yang artfully negotiated an additional 300 liang from Zhao Ye before acquiescing to the task.

The Zhao Family had no inkling of the caliber of opponents they were entangling with, nor did they comprehend the gravity of their forthcoming actions. Their opportunities for such profiteering would be exceedingly limited henceforth.

Moreover, Second Young Master Zhao’s miserly demeanor was evident in the mere 1,000 liang he had offered, despite orchestrating a scheme that could yield millions in return.

His stinginess justified the unscrupulous tactics employed in pursuit of maximum gains.

Strategist Yang delivered the document to the officer, who received it with a smile and issued instructions for Zheng Qing’s retrieval from the mulberry garden the next day.

Zhao Ye remained keenly attentive to these developments, embracing the news as if he had stumbled upon a treasure trove. He boasted of his accomplishments to both Ms. Qin and Zhao Mu, emphasizing his remarkable prowess.

Zhao Mu, in turn, felt a deep sense of pride and extolled Zhao Ye’s abilities.
