Over these past few days, Huai Shi had remained still, allowing the rumors outside to ferment. However, the one truly bustling about was Wood Cottage.
Using his harmless-looking face, he mingled among various clubs and had already figured out which individuals were truly stirring up trouble; the list was complete.
The reason Huai Shi hadn't taken action before was that even if the situation calmed down, lingering trouble would inevitably remain hidden beneath the surface.

When that time came, capturing them all at once would be much simpler than dealing with any remaining loose ends.
Having gathered proof that they were spreading rumors and committing misdeeds in his name, Huai Shi had no intention of showing mercy.
