Just as he said, if he had been more forceful at the time and had simply driven the person away, the subsequent events would still have happened, and he would have remained completely unaware of what was going on.

"Even so, I'm the one who dragged you all into this."

"To be honest, I don't blame you. The Chen family was arrogant and domineering, and this was bound to happen sooner or later. It's just that our family was unlucky and happened to be there."

Zhou Bo pursed his lips, looked at the leisurely Mo Lan, and his eyes flickered. "Didn't you leave? Why are you back? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the authorities?"

"Hehe~, you're very good." Mo Lan looked at Zhou Bo, a young man with very positive values, a real talent.

Under such circumstances, the fact that Chief Escort Zhou could still rationally analyze the pros and cons shows his excellent teaching skills.

"I'm no good, I always cause trouble for my family." Zhou Bo looked ashamed as he gazed at Mo Lan. "Are you perhaps mocking me, young lady?"

"No, I'm really praising you."

Zhou Bo: "..."

"Don't worry, since this matter started because of me, I won't stand idly by. Fortunately, the food problem has been solved, but we are a little restricted in our movements. As for the Chen family, you don't need to worry about them. I have my own way to make them stop causing trouble."

"The masked wandering swordsman the noodle shop owner mentioned is the young lady?" Zhou Bo's eyes lit up as he listened to Mo Lan's explanation. So that's how it is.

“I can’t help it, I feel guilty,” Mo Lan patted her clothes and stood up. “Tell your father to be patient for a few more days and everything will be fine.”

“…Okay.” For some reason, Zhou Bo wasn’t worried at all after hearing Mo Lan’s promise.

"Go back. I'm staying at the inn next to the escort agency, but don't look for me unless it's absolutely necessary, so as not to alert the spies who are waiting there."

In the morning, she noticed that there were people watching around the security company. Perhaps because no suspicious people had appeared, the people hiding in the shadows had become more relaxed.

"Okay, I understand,"

When Zhou Bo heard that there were spies around his house, he was only slightly taken aback and didn't seem too surprised.

"Although the lord allowed us to return home at the time, I always felt it was strange. Now that I think about it, the lord may have been planning to play the long game."

As he spoke, Zhou Bo glanced at Mo Lan, the meaning of which was self-evident: she was the big fish.

If the escort agency and the thief are connected, they will inevitably make contact in the future. The government officials only need to wait and see.

Listening to Zhou Bo's analysis, Mo Lan nodded approvingly, revealing a look of approval that suggested he was a promising student.

"It was a lucky accident. Although that lord's actions were unnecessary, it was a stroke of luck. Now, aren't you and I connected?"

Mo Lan swung the pointer in her hand, her eyes mocking, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.

"Alright, let's go back." Mo Lan stood up, dusted off her skirt, and disappeared in a few leaps.

Looking in the direction where Mo Lan disappeared, Zhou Bo pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then walked towards the escort agency.

Mo Lan returned to the inn, had the waiter bring her hot water, took a leisurely bath, changed back into a comfortable black outfit, styled her hair in a proud ponytail, held a pointer in her hand, looked out the window, and a wicked smile slowly crept into her deep eyes.

It was this touch of wickedness that changed Mo Lan's entire aura. Whether it was the corners of her eyes and eyebrows or the upturned corners of her lips, she exuded a wild and untamed beauty, like a leopard poised to pounce, ready to snatch its prey at any moment.
