Baili Hai's suspicions were not unfounded; he was well acquainted with Yuan Hua, that old hound from the Baili Family, who was a notorious lecher, and this Heavenly Palace even had quite a few of Yuan Hua's schemes.
Apart from being a gathering place for the upper-class circle, Heavenly Palace was also a venue for expanding networks and conducting business. Of course, not all business was legitimate; for instance, there was smuggling across the Public Sea.
That old hound was not only cunning but also unscrupulously lustful towards women. To him, even the most beautiful woman was nothing but a plaything. Asking him to apologize to a woman was as likely as a sow climbing a tree.
Because of this understanding, only after his investigation did Baili Hai start to feel that the leak of the smuggling operation on the Public Sea and the gruesome death of that old hound, Yuan Hua, were related to this woman, especially since the two incidents coincided so closely.
