Chapter 1130: Harsh Words and Stern Looks

Shopkeeper Sheng played dumb.

Gu Yan didn't beat around the bush any longer and asked directly, "Shopkeeper Sheng, was it you who arranged for someone to set Zuixiang Restaurant on fire?" Even though Shopkeeper Sheng had guessed early on that Gu Yan must have known the truth, he still harbored a glimmer of hope. However, when Gu Yan confronted him directly, Shopkeeper Sheng was only startled for a moment before continuing to feign ignorance.

"Master Gu, I too sympathize with the fire at your Zuixiang Restaurant, but without evidence, you shouldn't be so reckless as to throw dirt on me. I have nothing to do with the fire at Zuixiang Restaurant. Master Gu, do not slander me. For things I haven't done, I would never admit to them," Shopkeeper Sheng replied.

Even if Gu Yan suspected him, what of it? Without evidence, it's all for naught. The only thing that made Shopkeeper Sheng feel guilty were the two men, Fan Wu and Liu Kui, hidden in the backyard.
