Chapter 102.2: 青年
[Youth]
Chen Xing was startled, fixed his eyes to see that it was Qiu Wu who was sent out to inquire about the news today, only to see his eyes shining brightly staring at Chen Xing and them, excitedly said: “Gong Zi, I went to inquire it clearly today, that the lamp oil found in the courtyard is particularly expensive. Who can afford to use it in the entire town, only four families, the Chen family, the Zhao family, the Shen family, and the Fu family.”
Hearing that there were shadows of the Chen family, Chen Xing had a vague idea in his heart that he could absolutely use this incident to teach the Chen family a lesson. After all, what they had done during this period of time was also a bit excessive. But now he only has clues that are not real evidence yet, he felt that it was not enough, so he has to come up with some solid evidence, only then he can prove his own speculation.
Gu Lang on one side as he listened, after Qiu Wu finished those words, he directly handed over the portrait he had just drawn to him, and instructed him: “We already know. Next, you take this painting, together with Qiu Jiu go to look for people, and when you find them, you guys bring it directly to the Gu family.”
Qiu Wu received that portrait, looking at the young man on it, he nodded confidently, “Boss, don’t worry, I will bring the person back to you soon.”
After Gu Lang nodded his head, Qiu Wu ran away energetically. Looking at his appearance, he should have gone to find Qiu Jiu to do business with him.
After Qiu Wu left, Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang, his eyes flashing with excitement, “I remember that setting fire is a serious crime, then if the Chen family did it, what punishment will they receive?”
Although Chen Xing received the body of the original body, he was not this original person after all, so he naturally had no sense of belonging to the Chen family. Later on, when they exchanged him for Gu Lang as goods to offset his bride price (betrothal gifts, from the bridegroom’s family to the bride’s), he even felt that even if it was the kindness of his birth and upbringing, he had also returned the favor for the original body.
Nowadays, the Chen family can only be regarded as strangers to him, and these strangers for things that do not belong to them, again and again come to make trouble to this small restaurant of hlim, he felt that this is already his bottom line. It’s not that he won’t fight back, it’s just that he hasn’t found a chance to do so yet. Now that there is a chance right in front of him, he can’t help but feel a little bit excited.
Gu Lang does not understand Chen Xing who was fine just now, why did he suddenly become excited? Just looking at his bright eyes and slightly pondering for a moment, thinking how to not hit him in the case of enthusiasm, so that he does not hold such big expectations. Only after half a day’s thought, he finally decided to be honest and said,
“We still need more evidence. Now, since the matter of the Chen family setting the fire is only our presumption, and even now who set the fire, we still do not know. If we find out that the fire is really related to the Chen family, but they can just find someone to take the blame, then we still can’t do anything about them.”
Chen Xing just started to think about the miserable situation of the Chen family, completely did not think of the option of finding someone to take the blame, and now being reminded of this by Gu Lang, he immediately became nervous, and asked somewhat panic: “Then what should we do?”
Gu Lang looked at him, hooked the corner of his lips, with him straightening the broken hair on one side of the cheek as he said in a light voice: “Naturally, before we beat the grass and startle the snake—act rashly and alert the enemy – find out who in the end is the one who set the fire?”
Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang’s smile, his eyes lightly flickered a few times. He didn’t know if this was his misperception, he always felt that Gu Lang’s smile was a bit strange just now, like he was calculating some kind of huge conspiracy.

In the next two days, no matter whether it was the Yamen or Qiu Jiu who went out, both sides did not bring back any news.
This made Chen Xing feel a little agitated, and even began to involuntarily think that if you can not find any clues, this matter will not be over time, and as time goes by, it will become more and more difficult to control.
Chen Xing sat on a chair in the backyard, looking at the kitchen in front of him that had begun to be repaired, silently sighed.
Just when Chen Xing thought that if he went to the court in person to enquire, then would he be thrown out? Qiu Jiu, who had been out for two days, suddenly ran back and stood in front of him, excitedly said, “Little boss, the person you are looking for, we have already caught it, so do you want to go over to take a look?”
Hearing Qiu Jiu’s words, Chen Xing’s eyes immediately lit up, already too excited, he subconsciously ignored Qiu Jiu’s tone of word ‘catch’, said with a face of excitement: “You have found the person, so where is it now?”
