Zhu Shengkai stormed out of the City Lord Mansion with Su Mengwei, seething with rage. He gritted his teeth, "Su Mengwei, I want her dead!"
He flicked his sleeve and left. Su Mengwei watched Zhu Shengkai's departing figure, his expression icy. His slight trembling betrayed his fury—how could the Su Family's Trading House's iron mine turn out to have always been private property of the Su Family? He had never been aware of this. The records of the West State Salt Iron Department had been destroyed in a fire, leaving no trace. They had occupied the West State Salt Iron Department for years without realizing the mine belonged to the Su Family.
Why hadn't Su Ming disclosed this truth over all these years? Was it because the mine's ownership had shifted from private to public and he saw no need to inform them—or because he had never considered him part of the Su Family?
He and Zhu Shengkai had no reason to stop Fengyu from going to the mine.
