Actually, Xi Jiu had already suspected a certain connection between Ruan Fengmian, Yang Liu, and the Cheng family.
Although the Ruan family members did not say it explicitly, since the Ruan couple returned to the Imperial Capital, they've been covertly targeting the Cheng family's businesses. They did it very discreetly, and most people haven't linked it to the Ruan family. But Xi Jiu visits Ruan Qi's home daily, so it's impossible for him not to notice.
Xi Jiu initially thought that the Cheng family and the Ruan couple had a feud.
Little did he know, they not only had a feud, but also a blood relation. Ruan Fengmian was actually the Cheng family's second son who passed away twenty years ago—Cheng Bainian.
Xi Jiu was slightly shocked. But this emotion was quickly replaced by intense anger.
