"No, how could it be? How could Daddy be such a person!"

Annie suddenly realized that there was an illegal transaction between Mayor Zhao and Taoist Tulong. The shocked young lady was completely unwilling to accept this result.

"There must be some misunderstanding!"

With this thought, Annie walked out angrily and came to Shi Shaojian's side.

Annie did not want to cause trouble for Shi Shaojian, but looked at the fake zombies secretly controlled by Taoist Tulong.

The restrictions secretly placed on them by Taoist Tulong, now that Taoist Tulong has completely died, the restrictions on them have completely disappeared, and they have directly regained their freedom.

However, compared to being controlled by Taoist Tulong, they would rather not regain their freedom.

"Speak!"

"Tell us everything you did before!"

Annie is not a pretty vase. She is a well-informed young lady who has returned from studying abroad. She directly used the fear brought by Shi Shaojian to force these fake zombies to speak.

"Speak, speak!"

"We dare not hide anything!"

"Our boss is this one..."

The fake zombies have never seen Annie, but when they saw that Shi Shaojian did not stop Annie's behavior, they still honestly began to confess what they did before.

"Use the behavior of driving corpses to transport unique products from abroad to Jiuquan Town!"

"Of course, there are more than that. As long as we can make money, we will transport..."

Opium is actually easy to say. These things are banned but not eliminated. Most of the time, they turn a blind eye.

But the unique products purified from opium are completely prohibited from production and sale, and Jiuquan Town is no exception.

Anne felt dizzy when she thought of her father, the mayor of Jiuquan Town, colluding with Taoist Tulong and others to transport these contrabands.

As a devout Catholic, Anne was educated to not tolerate such things that poison people's souls, wills and bodies.

But now in Anne's eyes, the mayor's father, who was originally respectable and amiable, has turned into the source of harm to the people of Jiuquan Town. For a moment, she couldn't accept it at all.

"What is the relationship between you and the mayor?"

Anne wanted to hear the answer in person. As long as she was not sure, she was unwilling to admit it.

"The mayor!"

"If the mayor hadn't acted as a matchmaker and used the Zhao family's channels to sell the stolen goods, how could we have sold the unique products!"

"Of course, the mayor also did not lose out. He alone would have taken 50% of the money we sold!"

"If we didn't need the mayor's protection, our boss would have kicked the mayor out and made the most money on his own!"

Annie's eyes went dark and she almost fell down. It was Shi Shaojian who helped her up and she didn't fall to the ground.

"What? The mayor is such a person?!"

A Yue felt that her worldview was completely destroyed. She didn't expect that the amiable mayor Zhao was such a ruthless person in private.

"You can't know a person's heart by looking at his face. I've told you a long time ago that you shouldn't easily judge a person's goodness or badness!"

At this time.

When the two brothers and sisters were about to have another debate, Uncle Jiu interrupted them in time.

"Okay, both of you stop talking!"

Annie had already woken up from the shock before. It would be inappropriate for Ah Xing and Ah Yue to discuss the father of another person.

"Thank you!"

After standing up straight, Annie whispered to Shi Shaojian to thank her.

But Annie was no longer as confident and calm as before, and looked lost and depressed.

"Look at it!"

Faced with this situation, Shi Shaojian didn't know how to persuade Annie, and could only give such a dry comfort.

"It's okay, I'll go ask Daddy in person!"

Annie's performance was stronger than Shi Shaojian imagined.

After stabilizing her emotions, Annie immediately planned to return to the mansion and prepare to question Mayor Zhao.

"Then let's go back with you!"

Anything that did not involve the supernatural had little to do with Uncle Jiu and the others, but now that Taoist Tulong was involved in it with Maoshan magic, Shi Shaojian felt that they could not just give up.

Knowing that Annie was going to question Mayor Zhao, Shi Shaojian also planned to follow and find out the truth.

The group immediately turned around and returned.

At this time, Mayor Zhao found that his beloved daughter was missing and was directing his servants to search for her everywhere in the house.

"Annie, I'm looking for you!"

The moment he saw Annie's figure, Mayor Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw Shi Shaojian and others returning.

"Hey, Master, you are back too?"

Mayor Zhao was filled with anxietyStrongly puzzled, he didn't understand why his beloved daughter Annie would return with Shi Shaojian and others.

Although he was a little puzzled, seeing that Annie and Shi Shaojian had become so close all of a sudden, Mayor Zhao was happy to see it happen.

"If there is anything I can help with, just tell me!"

In Mayor Zhao's opinion, if Annie could marry Shi Shaojian, the core figure of the next generation of Maoshan, it would definitely be a great thing.

He hoped that the relationship between the two would blossom and bear fruit.

But Mayor Zhao was totally overthinking it.

"Daddy, what's the matter with that Tulong and those people pretending to be zombies?!"

Annie walked up to Mayor Zhao angrily, staring at him closely.

Mayor Zhao's eyes were erratic, and he immediately wanted to find a reason to distance himself from Tulong and others.

"I saw everything and heard their confessions, you can't deny it!"

No one knows a daughter better than her father, and vice versa, it can be said that no one knows a father better than his daughter.

When Mayor Zhao wanted to cheat, Annie noticed it instantly.

Faced with Annie's aggressive questioning and the sharp eyes of Shi Shaojian and others who followed closely behind, Mayor Zhao, whose retreat was completely blocked, thought for a while and finally gave up resistance completely.

"That was a long time ago!"

"You should all be familiar with the church in Jiuquan Town!"

"Then do you know how that church was built?"

Uncle Jiu and his apprentice shook their heads.

When Uncle Jiu took root in Jiuquan Town, the church had been built for decades. Uncle Jiu was naturally not very clear about what happened decades ago.

Not to mention Shi Shaojian, he didn't see anything about the church before it was built in his previous life.

"The reason why our Zhao family can rise is that we have a relationship with the previous generation of priests in the church!"

"And the key is the same as what Tulong and others are doing now!"

"What?!"

Mayor Zhao's words were earth-shattering.

Not only Annie, but even Uncle Jiu and others were extremely surprised.

"So your history of making a fortune is actually like this?!"

A Xing and A Yue looked at Mayor Zhao in disbelief, feeling greatly shocked.
