Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 39 Tracking Down the Assassin

Su Jinxiu, whose injuries had just begun to heal, couldn't wait to join Xiao Ling in the operation to track down the mastermind behind the assassins. They started with the weapons and traces left behind by the assassins, leaving no clue unchecked.

Su Jinxiu sat in her study, surrounded by piles of intelligence and documents.

“These assassins acted in an organized manner; they are definitely not ordinary assassins.” Su Jinxiu frowned as she analyzed the information in her hand.

Xiao Ling nodded: "That's right, there must be a powerful force controlling things behind the scenes."

After several days of investigation, they finally discovered some clues.

"Look, these clues all point to a mysterious figure who once had close ties with Su Yue," Xiao Ling said, pointing to an investigation report.

Su Jinxiu's gaze sharpened: "Could it be that Su Yue hasn't given up yet?"

To further confirm their suspicions, they decided to investigate this mysterious figure in more depth.

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling disguised themselves and infiltrated the place where the mysterious figure often appeared.

In a shady tavern, they overheard some rumors about a mysterious figure.

"I heard he's been planning a big deal lately, which seems to be related to the Marquis's mansion."

"Could this be targeting Miss Su Jinxiu again?"

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling exchanged a glance, becoming even more certain of their guess.

However, their investigation aroused the suspicion of the mysterious figure.

During a surveillance operation, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling were nearly discovered.

"Watch out!" Xiao Ling grabbed Su Jinxiu and pulled her into a small alley.

The mysterious figure's men searched the area, but fortunately, they were not exposed.

Back at the Marquis's residence, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling fell into deep thought.

"It seems we need to speed things up; we can't let them make the first move," Su Jinxiu said.

Xiao Ling said, "I have already sent people to find more evidence. As long as we can find something to hold against him, we can follow the clues and find out who is behind it all."

Just then, Su Jinxiu received an anonymous letter warning her not to investigate any further, or she would face the consequences.

“This further proves that we are on the right track,” Xiao Ling said.

They were not intimidated by the threats; instead, they became even more determined to get to the bottom of it.

After some twists and turns, they finally found a secret hideout of the mysterious figure.

“There must be important evidence hidden here,” Su Jinxiu said.

Xiao Ling and his men quietly surrounded the stronghold.

However, when they stormed into the stronghold, they found it empty, with only some seemingly important documents burned to ashes.

"We're still a step too late," Xiao Ling said with frustration.

Su Jinxiu found a jade pendant in the corner, with Su Yue's name engraved on it.

"It seems that Su Yue is indeed involved in this matter," Su Jinxiu said.

Just as they were about to leave, they were suddenly ambushed.

"Protect Miss Su!" Xiao Ling shouted.

A fierce battle broke out.

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling fought back fiercely, but the enemy was numerous and well-trained.

At the critical moment, Xiao Ling's reinforcements arrived and repelled the enemy.

“Although we didn’t find direct evidence this time, we have at least confirmed Su Yue’s involvement,” Xiao Ling said.

A resolute glint flashed in Su Jinxiu's eyes: "No matter the cost, I will make her receive the punishment she deserves."

However, unbeknownst to them, Su Yue had already learned of their investigation and was plotting an even more sinister scheme...
