Chapter 1635: Chapter 1635: One Must Not Promise and Not Keep Their Word

"Yes, Mother, don’t cry just yet, we’ll go outside in a bit and see what’s going on, and we’ll surely find the person who did this," the sister was also trying to soothe the woman.

"Why do you think this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one?" Zimo looked at the man and asked.

He had found it strange ever since the time at Wuzhu Teahouse.

Naturally, hail couldn’t be controlled by people, it should be considered a natural disaster.

Yet these two siblings kept saying that someone wanted to harm the people in their county, asking him and Sang’er to come and capture the perpetrator.

So he wondered, why did they all think it was man-made rather than a natural disaster?

"This..."

Upon mentioning this, the man’s face seemed somewhat off.

"This... isn’t much really, just give it some thought and you’ll know, if it was a natural disaster, how could the hail keep getting bigger and bigger?

And besides, who has ever heard of hail lasting so long and being so big? It’s like it wants to smash a huge hole in people’s heads. Isn’t this not how a natural disaster behaves?"

Hearing his words, Zimo’s expression became stern, and Lin Caisang’s face also darkened.

"Heh, heh,"

She let out a cold laugh and stood up.

"It seems that we are unable to take on this task, we take our leave."

It was clear as day; they were keeping secrets from them, and it was about the hail, wasn’t it?

She and Zimo came to solve their problems, yet they still wanted to keep things from them. Had their conscience been eaten by a dog?

Were they really supposed to fall into these pits dug by these people?

"Let’s go."

Zimo also stood up, wrapping his arm over Lin Caisang’s shoulder, ready to walk out the door.

"Wait, wait."

Seeing them turn to leave, the man suddenly panicked, jumping up from his stool.

"Just wait, please, let’s talk this out," he hurried forward to Lin Caisang and Zimo, blocking their path.

"Miss, young master, doesn’t Wuzhu Teahouse follow through once they accept a task? We are truly in trouble here; you can’t just ignore us!"

"That’s right, Miss, young master, you’ve accepted the task; the people of Wuzhu Teahouse can’t go back on their word."

The woman also approached them, pleading with both.

Lin Caisang: "..."

She looked up at Zimo, really opening her eyes today.

This was the fifth task she had accepted recently, and the previous four had gone unexpectedly smoothly, without taking much time at all.

But regardless of the time, weren’t the people who sought their help telling them the absolute truth?

Even if they had done something wrong, they confessed it honestly, without any concealment.

That’s why their tasks were completed so quickly.

Yet here, not only were they not telling them the truth, but they also wanted to hide the true nature of the hail. Were they really supposed to shoulder this burden for the people of this county?

"Didn’t your daughter and son tell you that Wuzhu Teahouse did not accept your task here?"

She looked at the man with cold eyes, each word deliberate and clear.

"What... what?"

The man seemed to be taken aback by Lin Caisang’s words.

Turning his head, he looked towards his son and daughter, trying to get the answer they wanted from them.

But to their surprise...

The sister gave Lin Caisang an awkward smile.
