Zhu Baixi had someone steal the Dragon Heart Herb simply to frame Jiang Tianquan, hoping to make Chen Xiao and Jiang Tianquan tear each other apart while she watched from a safe distance. This ploy to divert disaster was undeniably sinister, yet also quite clever. Chen Xiao and Jiang Tianquan were both her enemies. Once they started fighting, she would be the one to reap the rewards.
Nearby, Xu Yanran was extremely dissatisfied. "Chen Xiao! What's with that attitude? I got injured helping you catch the thief, and you can't even show a little concern?"
Chen Xiao glanced at her and waved his hand dismissively. "Go to the storeroom and grab a couple of portions of preserved seafood."
"Do you think I'm that spineless?" Xu Yanran huffed, turning on her heel and marching into the storeroom. She emerged a moment later with an armful of food and scurried upstairs.
Just then, the commotion brought Luo Qingli downstairs. "Chen Xiao, what happened?"
