Chapter 173 Discovering the Truth
Wu You patted Fang Duobing on the shoulder and said, "Young man, accept your mediocrity. The gap between people is not so easy to bridge."
"I..." Fang Duobing choked, but still muttered under his breath, "I haven't seen you act like you're that great either."
"If you're going to complain, just complain loudly. Who are you trying to hear if you're speaking so softly? Aren't you making things difficult for yourself and others?"
Wu You's main strategy is to actively deplete others' resources externally, but never deplete his own internal resources.
"Do you still remember the hibiscus flower covered in mud?" Li Lianhua reminded Fang Duobing.
"Even a ten-foot-tall hibiscus flower got muddy, but the mud splattered a little higher. What's so special about that?"
Fang Duobing did not understand what Li Lianhua meant.
"The whereabouts of Yu Louchun's remaining body are still unknown. All the guards are digging three feet into the ground to find the antidote, which reminded me of this."
"?"
“They dug holes everywhere and splashed a lot of mud. Think about these two things together.”
"Let's go."
"Where?"
"Didn't Qing'er say that the best-blooming hibiscus in the women's quarters is on Kanyun Peak? Let's go take a look."
After saying that, Li Lianhua walked forward, and Fang Duobing, Wu You, and Nanfeng quickly followed.
Li Lianhua did not reveal what she knew, but instead guided Fang Duobing step by step to deduce the truth.
As Wu You walked, he kept glancing at Li Lianhua: He really is such a gentle person. A teacher for a day is a father for life; he truly fulfilled his responsibilities as a master.
Feeling Wu You's burning gaze, Li Lianhua's ears slowly turned red. She raised her head to meet Wu You's gaze for a moment, then looked away and focused on talking with Fang Duobing.
The hibiscus was located behind Yulouchun's room, not far away, and the group quickly approached it.
Seeing the mud spots on the ten-foot-tall hibiscus tree, Fang Duobing realized what was happening.
"You mean someone dug a hole under the tree, and the mud and sand that flew up splashed onto the hibiscus flowers?"
The ground under the tree looked the same as the rest of the place. If I'm not mistaken, it had obviously been dug up, but the traces had been cleaned up.
Fang Duobing parted the leaves and petals on top, then dug through the soil a few times, discovering that the soil underneath was indeed freshly turned over.
"It seems that Yu Louchun is buried here."
"It seems that the murderer had already prepared this burial site before the mountains were covered in red leaves. It's true what they say, the darkest place is under the lamp."
"Fang Xiaobao, dig."
"Why do you always call me to do the hard work? I'm not going." Fang Duobing stood to the side with his arms crossed, unwilling to do anything.
"If you don't go, who will? Do you want Hua Hua to do it? Hurry up," Wu You urged, "Why are you dawdling over something as simple as doing a job?"
"Let... Nanfeng go. Who told him not to talk to me last night? He deserves to do the hard work." Fang Duobing looked around and fixed his gaze on Nanfeng.
Nanfeng ignored him completely.
"Just ask me whatever you want to ask me, why ask him?"
"Really?" Fang Duobing approached Wu You in surprise: "I knew I could ask you today, what did you and Bihuang talk about last night? Why did you keep it a secret? You wouldn't let Qing'er hear it?"
"It's a secret." Wu Youke had no intention of telling him.
"How could you do this? Didn't you say you'd tell me? Now you're going back on your word, aren't you?"
Wu You felt that Fang Duobing looked exactly like someone who was glaring at someone with a mustache on their face.
"Did I say I was going to tell you? You'd better hurry up and dig your hole. Nanfeng, go find him a shovel."
"Yes." Nanfeng left quickly.
