Chapter 199 Coming to Me

"Okay. But you have to take away the rocking chair your father promised to make for someone today. That was a promise we made to the person earlier. We should keep our word. Pack up your things at night. Do what you need to do during the day. Don't appear too impatient, or else it will arouse suspicion."

Aunt Song added, her voice full of tenderness yet firm strength, as if telling the family to remain calm even if the road ahead is uncertain.

After hearing what her mother said, Song Yuyu nodded to show her understanding, and turned to her third sister-in-law Zhao Chunhua and said, "Several of our frequent guests have ordered some specially made handicrafts in advance - exquisite small wind chimes, hand-painted folding fans, and powders of various flavors made with fine spices. I hope to deliver all of these to the buyers as quickly as possible."

"Third sister-in-law," Song Yuyu continued, "I have an idea. Can you please listen to my opinion? I want to try to clear out all the remaining inventory in the store at a low price, even if I make less profit. Do you think this arrangement is feasible?"

After hearing this, Zhao Chunhua, who had been sitting next to her drinking tea silently, finally smiled knowingly.

Looking at this usually lively and intelligent little sister who is now serious, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"No problem, as long as there is profit. After all, the current situation is complicated, and it is a wise choice for us to reduce inventory as soon as possible. Your suggestion is good!"

Zhao Chunhua gave full support.

After receiving a positive answer, Yu Yu responded happily: "Okay! Then I will arrange this matter right away."

After finishing a simple but nutritionally balanced breakfast, everyone divided the work clearly and got busy with their own responsibilities.

Song Yuyu, Song Dadi and her hardworking mother went to Yuemanlou to take care of the business as usual. They showed no sign of any changes and everything seemed to be no different from usual.

On the other hand, Zhao Chunhua plans to use her free time in the morning to

She has time to find her always unpredictable elder brother Zhao Yuannian, hoping that through a frank conversation she can make him more aware of how serious the current situation is.

Otherwise, given my eldest brother's reckless and impulsive character, there's no guarantee that he would act on his own for some reason or even do something stupid.

What's more, almost all the big and small matters inside and outside the house are taken care of by my eldest brother alone, so this trip is of great significance and cannot be ignored.

Therefore, even though she knew that the road ahead might be full of unknowns, the sister, who cared about her family, still decided to embark on this bumpy journey, with her destination heading directly to Chen Wang Mansion, which was located in a relatively prosperous and bustling area in the north of the city.

Zhao Chunhua walked through the bustling South Street and turned into a slightly secluded but equally elegant alley along the predetermined route. She soon found her destination at the end not far away.

After realizing that there were several pairs of eyes following her closely, a scornful smile quietly crept onto the woman's pretty face.

Who on earth dared to send someone to spy on me secretly?

Could it be the man with ulterior motives who proclaimed himself a king or someone else?

In any case, the other party's move was really too clumsy.

What surprised her even more was that today she found that the number of people following her had increased several times more than before.

While thinking about countermeasures, he took slow and steady steps forward, each step revealing an extremely resolute spirit.

Unexpectedly, as soon as we turned around South Street, a group of people came towards us from the front.

These people seemed to be well prepared. They were all wearing the same black clothes and their faces looked particularly stern. It was not difficult to see that they had bad intentions.

Such a scene made Zhao Chunhua's heart tighten and she reacted immediately.

She quickly determined that the current situation was not favorable to her, so she decisively went into a small alley next to her and used the secret passage she knew to enter her own hidden space.

Sure enough, the sound of hurried footsteps proved that her worries were justified.

These guys chasing seemed to be divided into two groups, all crowded in this narrow passage, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Where did they go? Why can't we find them?"

One of them asked anxiously, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"I am definitely not mistaken. The woman did enter this alley here."

Another person stated his observations affirmatively.

"Could it be that the other party has found a place to hide?"

Someone made a guess, "But the wall here is so high, it should be difficult to climb up!"

…

In the following time, the searchers searched almost every corner of the alley.

The debris was scattered all over the place and the ground was trampled into a mess.

Judging from the noise, there are at least a dozen people in this group.

After searching back and forth on this narrow road for a long time, they finally had to give up the search and disperse to continue patrolling or go to other places to look for the target.

In her quiet and safe little house, Zhao Chunhua was lying comfortably and enjoying snacks.

Through a special mechanism, she could hear the noisy sounds outside - the scene of the search team members constantly knocking and moving objects in an attempt to find clues but finding nothing made her feel extremely proud.

But at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: If these guys still can't find me, will they turn to harass the other companions?

Thinking of this, she immediately left this small secret space. She did not immediately set out towards her original destination to look for Zhao Yuannian, but instead quickened her pace and went directly to the place where they often gathered - Yuemanlou.

On the way, I met a few men in black who were looking around. I knew intuitively that they were coming for me.

She felt nervous and quickened her pace, trying to avoid those people.

He shuttled through the alleys, carefully avoiding every position that might expose him, and finally made a circle in a hidden place. He finally saw the entrance of Yuemanlou, and felt slightly relieved.

Just as she was about to go in, she was suddenly pulled aside by a strong force. Zhao Chunhua was startled and subconsciously wanted to take out the stun gun to defend herself, but she heard a hurried and familiar voice shouting: "Jingmei, it's me."

She looked up and saw that it was her brother Zhao Yuannian. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did you..."

She was about to ask Zhao Yuannian why he was here, but was stopped by his nervous look.

Zhao Yuannian looked around quickly and kept making gestures for her to be quiet.

Zhao Yuannian said in a low but firm voice: "Follow me quickly, it's too dangerous here."

The two of them left Yuemanlou as if they were running away. Zhao Yuannian held Zhao Chunhua's hand tightly and trotted across the street, finally arriving at the yard behind an inconspicuous inn.

Only then did Zhao Chunhua completely relax and took a deep breath.
