Su Mo left the Bai family residence, but did not run towards the street. Instead, she ran towards the back mountain.

Li Wenxuan led a group of people to chase after her.

When they reached the back mountain, Li Wenxuan was already panting and gasping for breath, bending over and breathing heavily.

Su Mo's face was not even flushed, and she stood with her hands on her hips, smiling smugly at them.

"So weak? You're out of breath already? How did Bai Yunxin fall for you? You're hopeless! Can you even last three minutes?"

"You..." Although Li Wenxuan could not fully understand, he knew Su Mo was insulting him!

"Catch her!"

A group of people rushed towards Su Mo.

"Tsk, this is the perfect chance to try out the whip I bought today. Let's see how well it works!"

Su Mo took out a whip from her waist. With a fierce crack, the dark red whip lashed out like a snake.

When Fang Qing caught up, Su Mo was tangled up fighting with them.

The whip was extremely agile in her hand, and no one could get near her.

Fang Qing immediately drew out his sword and flew to Su Mo's side, blocking her front.

"Miss Su, go ahead. I'll hold them off."

Su Mo also felt it was meaningless to continue. She just wanted to try out the whip.

These people were too weak. They only had greater numbers, unlike the more formidable black-clad men from before.

"Li...Wenxuan, right? Don't blame me for not warning you. The arrow in your arm is poisoned. If you don't get back soon to detoxify, that arm will be crippled!" Su Mo said slyly with a smile.

"What?!" Li Wenxuan cried out as he looked at the arrow in his arm.

"You...just you wait! I won't let you off!" Li Wenxuan immediately ran back down the mountain.

"Pfft...what a wimp!" Su Mo put her hands on her hips and snorted disdainfully.

Fang Qing frowned. "Miss Su, did you really poison it?"

Although the Bai and Li families were at odds, if Li Wenxuan really died from poison, it would reflect badly on the Bais.

"Don't worry, I was bluffing! It's just a small wound, some bleeding won't kill him!"

Only then did Fang Qing breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Mo looked at him, puzzled by his reaction. "Did you never suspect that Old Master Bai's death could be related to the Li family?"

"Highly unlikely. The Bai and Li families have some business rivalry, but it's just competition. And...Old Master Bai's martial arts were formidable. No one in the Li family could have killed him."

"What if the Li family hired someone else to do it?"

Fang Qing hesitated before replying, "While the Li family seems highly suspicious, the possibility is low. Businessmen won't risk being involved in murder, or they'd lose more than they'd gain if found out."

Su Mo suddenly thought of Wu Ying. He killed so easily without any fear!

Just who was that Wu Ying?

"By the way, did you see Wu Ying at all today?" Su Mo asked.

Fang Qing shook his head. "After going out with you all this morning, I've been at the master's funeral hall."

"Let's head back to the Bai residence then."
