Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin quickly realized—it was Yan Yu, the person they had been unable to find.
The source of the unrest had also been traced. It was a few underlings of Yan Yu who took advantage of the public's disquiet to incite and stir up trouble.
They originally thought it was just Yan Yu acting out in desperation, after his father failed to rise to power and he himself lost his patron, not willing to accept his fate. But unexpectedly, he was targeting Gu Yanzhi.
Previously, Gu Yanzhi always felt someone was watching her. They had been investigating but found nothing; now it seemed it must have been Yan Yu's men.
Gu Yanzhi slowly opened her eyes, and her vision was greeted by dimness.
She found herself in a dim and hot room, but the sky outside the window was exceptionally bright. The thick curtains blocked the glaring sunlight but failed to bring any semblance of coolness.
