Shi Lu became serious and told Yuan Shu some of his guesses and what he had said to Chu Mei.
Yuan Shu listened carefully and thought about what had happened in the past few days, as well as her understanding of the development of the story, and determined that what Shi Lu said was true.
In that case, the most likely culprit was the Jiang family.
Moreover, Shi Xiao's disappearance was probably related to the Jiang family.
However, she didn't understand why the Jiang family's timing was so much earlier than in the book. Moreover, Chu Mei was only a small character to begin with. After the child's matter was over, she had nothing to do with the rest of the plot.
Now, it seemed that she played an indispensable role in this matter and couldn't be dealt with so easily.
Now that they were in the open and the enemy was in the dark, acting rashly was indeed a bad idea.
