Chapter 498: Calm

Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan looked at each other, one of them opened the window and looked out, while the other grabbed the waiter's collar and asked him which direction he was leaving.

"I... I don't... I don't know. The man just gave me money to deliver wine to you." The waiter shouted loudly, as if this could prove his innocence.

Jiang Lin let go of the waiter. This kind of person really didn't know anything, and questioning him would yield no results.

"Describe the man's appearance and tell me everything you can think of about him." Jiang Lin stared at the waiter and said.

The waiter groaned in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have been greedy for such a small amount of money. At this moment, he could not think of anything else. All his thoughts about that person were blank.

Finally, under Jiang Lin's intimidation, the waiter searched his mind for the impression, and finally gave Jiang Lin what he had.

"He's not tall and looks thin, but he was very sincere when he expressed his gratitude to you. That's why I believe he really wanted to give you some wine." The waiter said in a wailing voice.

Jiang Lin said that after hearing it, he let him leave.

The waiter couldn't believe it when he heard it, but he quickly reacted and turned around to run, but before he stepped out of the door frame, Jiang Lin stopped him again.

The waiter turned around very reluctantly and looked at Jiang Lin with a bitter smile.

"Sir, do you still have any questions? I have said everything I can say. You must let me go." The waiter begged for mercy.

Jiang Lin waved his hand at him, "I just want to say that when you go back, if you think of anything related to the wine delivery person, you must let me know."

The waiter relaxed for a moment after hearing this, then nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course!"

Just like that, the waiter left in a hurry, without having to feel the tension between them anymore.

After Qin Xiangnuan closed the door, she also closed the window and turned to look at Jiang Lin.

Neither of them could find the answer in each other's eyes. Qin Xiangnuan frowned and said, "Are my disguise skills so poor?"

Jiang Lin didn't expect Qin Xiangnuan to say such words. He swallowed what he was about to say and shook his head at her.

"But the person who delivered the wine clearly knew our identities." Qin Xiangnuan said with a frown.

Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said, "Maybe someone saw him on the way."

Qin Xiangnuan would rather admit that her skills were not up to par than believe that someone was following them and they had not noticed.

Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan didn't say anything after that.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xiangnuan set her eyes on the wine jug and reached out to touch it.

"Nuannuan." Jiang Lin stretched out his hand to block Qin Xiangnuan, "You..."

"Maybe we're wrong." Qin Xiangnuan looked up at Jiang Lin's worried expression. "If this wine isn't poisonous, then we don't have to worry about finding out who sent it."

Jiang Lin slowly withdrew the strength to stop Qin Xiangnuan, and then stared at Qin Xiangnuan's movements.

After Qin Xiangnuan sat down on the stool, when her hand touched the pot of wine, it disappeared. At the same time, Qin Xiangnuan seemed to fall into a coma.

Jiang Lin sat down next to Qin Xiangnuan. The food in front of him was not attractive at all, but it looked like it was made with great care. He just didn't know what kind of intention was behind it.

When Qin Xiangnuan opened her eyes, Jiang Lin was still staring at the food on the table, and suddenly he heard Qin Xiangnuan's voice.

"The wine is not poisonous." Qin Xiangnuan said.

Jiang Lin's eyes flashed, and he turned to Qin Xiangnuan with confusion in his eyes.

Unfortunately, neither of them could explain the current situation. They came here on a whim, but someone knew their whereabouts and was not afraid of being discovered by Qin Xiangnuan and others.

However, the other party did not show up on his own initiative, nor did he leave any words, making Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan unable to guess what the other party was thinking.

"Forget it." Qin Xiangnuan put down the wine pot and poured a glass for each of them. "Such fine wine and delicious food cannot be wasted."

Qin Xiangnuan placed the wine glass in front of Jiang Lin, and then handed the chopsticks to Jiang Lin.

"Don't think about it." Qin Xiangnuan said to Jiang Lin, who was looking worried. "We've been running for so long, it's time to relax for a while. At least we can be sure that the other party doesn't want to kill us."

Jiang Lin took the chopsticks from Qin Xiangnuan with a wooden face, and then put the chopsticks into the food first.

Qin Xiangnuan turned around and started eating. At this moment, she heard Jiang Lin say, "Let the food cool down. Otherwise, it would be better."

"Yes." Qin Xiang agreed after warming her waist.

After that, the two of them really acted like people who were just out for fun, enjoying the beauty with ease, not caring at all about the bloody situation outside.

However, Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin were lucky. The night was calm and the storm they expected did not occur.

Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin did not mention this. They were just like ordinary travelers, and they were about to leave after resting for one night.

"Sir, you are finally awake!"

Jiang Lin had just opened the door when he heard the waiter's surprised voice. He frowned. The waiter's words made him suspect that he had got the time wrong.

But no, it was just after the hour of Yin, so the waiter had been waiting at their door long ago.

Qin Xiangnuan saw the haggard look on the waiter's face through the gap left by Jiang Lin.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Lin asked coldly.

But the waiter at this moment automatically ignored his coldness and said to Jiang Lin cheerfully, "Sir, you may not know that I actually ran into the man who delivered the wine last night. I immediately went to catch him and question him!"

The waiter described it vividly, as if he was afraid of not explaining it clearly. He used his hands and feet to describe to Jiang Lin the thrill of seeing people in the middle of the night and his own bravery.

"Sir, it turns out this is all a misunderstanding. He really didn't mean to harm you," the waiter said finally. "He said he'd been indebted to you before, but it's just inconvenient for him to show up right now. He didn't expect this misunderstanding to happen."

"Where is the person?" Jiang Lin didn't want to hear him repeat these words. If he couldn't show up, why would he appear in front of the waiter?

I’m afraid he doesn’t dare to show up?

Jiang Lin had just thought of this when the waiter said to them, "The man said he will wait for you at the small temple outside the city at noon tonight."

Jiang Lin's eyes darkened. The waiter saw this and stopped smiling a little, emphasizing again that the other party didn't look like a bad person.

"I understand." Jiang Lin said coldly, "Thank you for helping me deliver the message."

The waiter waved his hands uncomfortably, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."

If the waiter hadn't been greedy for money, this wouldn't have happened yesterday. Jiang Lin was taciturn and looked at people with a cold look, which made the waiter very scared.

Jiang Lin nodded after hearing this, and then gave out some silver. At first, the waiter didn't dare to take it, but after Qin Xiangnuan persuaded him a few words, he took it and left.

"Nuannuan, it seems we need to stay one more day." Jiang Lin turned around and said to Qin Xiangnuan.
