Huangfu Xiong nodded and said, "That's natural."

Tang Chen was about to leave when she realized that what she had to do next was to ensure that the person lying on the ground was "alive": "By the way, there is something I would like to ask the Grand Tutor for help."

"Just say it."

Tang Chen explained, "Don't spread the news of his death. Let those who know about it change their story and say that he escaped and is still being hunted. If someone reveals his death, I don't think that person is on the same page with you."

Fusion touched his chin thoughtfully and nodded, "This is a good way to catch a spy. Don't worry, I'll give the order right away."

...With the help of Hong Yu, Tang Chen sneaked into Ou Yezi's residence and told his plan to Ou Yezi, who had nothing to do and had not gone out today.

Her purpose in coming to him was simple: to ask him for help in disguising herself as the deceased prisoner. She wanted to test Su Zhirou and see if she really had problems, as those three people said.

After listening to Tang Chen's introduction, Ou Yezi initially thought that Tang Chen wanted to disguise himself as someone else. After looking Tang Chen over, he said with some embarrassment, "Disguise is no problem, but I don't think you have the talent for that voice. Besides, men and women have different body shapes, and I can tell at a glance that something is wrong."

Tang Chen said: "So, I would like to ask you to do me this favor personally."

Ou Yezi looked at Tang Chen leisurely while holding his teacup and said, "Are you so sure that I will help you?"

Tang Chen said confidently: "Because of Wang Ruo, you will definitely help me."

Ou Yezi sighed deeply, put the cup back, and said, "...I only saw that man once when he was captured. I don't think he looks exactly like me."

Tang Chen said: "It's okay, we will act in the middle of the night, as long as we can get five or six minutes, it will be enough to confuse the public."

Ou Yezi said, "I need to prepare. I will come to you at midnight."

"Then it's settled."

After quietly leaving Ou Yezi's residence and returning to the bright land, Hong Yu asked, "Didn't you say you trusted Su Zhirou? Why do you suddenly want to test her?"

Tang Chen didn't want to test her, but Jialuo's words kept lingering in her mind, making her feel very bad: "Zhirou did lie to me before, so after hearing some words, no matter how much I don't want to believe them, they will always leave a doubt in my heart. Instead of letting my imagination run wild and not being able to communicate with her properly later, it's better to clarify the situation directly first."

Hong Yu couldn't help but sigh, "I always thought that you still regarded this person as important as before."

Tang Chen explained helplessly, "It's still important now. After all, she's the first friend I met here, although she doesn't seem to see me that way. After seeing some things clearly, I feel really sad. I was thinking that if she really did something this time, I would be able to draw a clear line between us with peace of mind. We don't owe each other anything, and it's not good for anyone to continue like this."

After quietly listening to Tang Chen's explanation, Hong Yu had only one question: "What if, and I mean what if, if she really did it, how would you deal with it?"

Tang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "...To be honest, although I am a little confused now, I still can't believe it. Now that she has become like that, who would have the heart to doubt her? But sometimes, the person who is least worthy of suspicion may be the one who should be suspected the most."

Hong Yu suggested, "Should we tell Shi Zairong and the others in advance so they can be prepared?"

Tang Chen said, "No need. They continue to 'stir up trouble'. Even if it's not her, there must be accomplices of that person in this town."

Hong Yu thought about it and thought that if Su Zhirou was the only one there, she would be enough. Too many people would make it difficult for Tang Chen to test people. "Okay, I'll be with you anyway, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Tang Chen's train of thought sometimes seemed to wander. One second he was talking about Su Zhirou, and the next second he had wandered off to somewhere else. "Hong Yu, do you regret coming to Daliang? If you hadn't come, you might have been married to Shi Zairong before he came, and you wouldn't have to accompany me around every day. I always feel like you missed out on this trip."

Hong Yu smiled and said, "Why should I be disappointed? I came here to fulfill a promise I made to an old friend. I'm already very happy that I can fulfill the oath I made to my old friend. Besides, I've met you all, experienced many things I've never experienced before, and seen many beautiful sights I've never seen before in this world. The satisfaction I feel in my heart has completely made up for the physical busyness."

Tang Chen said with a smile: "You have such a good attitude. No wonder everyone wants to get close to you the first time they see you."

Hong Yu was flattered and said, "Really? How come I didn't notice it?"

Tang Chen sighed: "People like you deserve to be treated gently by everyone."

Hongyan said a little embarrassedly: "Then I'll take your good wishes. Qiuliang may be back soon, so let's go back early to prepare. Rest if you need to, because we still have things to do in the evening."

That night, just after midnight, Tang Chen heard a long and two short knocks on his door. Hearing the knocks, Tang Chen knew it was Ou Yezi, and he quickly got up to open the door: "I didn't expect that the gentleman would be so punctual."

After Ou Yezi entered the room, Tang Chen and Hong Yu couldn't help but stare wide-eyed in the dim candlelight. Ou Yezi walked around in front of them and asked, "How is it? Should I be alright?"

Tang Chen took a deep breath and said that if the voice changed again, people who didn't know would think it was a zombie. "Sir, you are indeed a master of disguise. If I hadn't known that the man had already fallen, I would have thought it was him."

Ou Yezi nodded and said, "That's good. As for the sound, I think as long as I lower it a little, it should be able to pass for it."

Tang Chen carefully looked at Ou Yezi again, then bowed and said, "Everything is ready, let's go now. Sir, this matter is very important to me, so I'm leaving it to you."

"Don't worry."

Seeing that it wasn't too late, Hong Yu suggested, "Before we set off again, I should briefly explain to you, sir, what has happened in the past few days. If there's really something wrong with Su Zhirou, you can react accordingly and avoid letting her know."

"Hong Yu is really thoughtful!"

When the three of them arrived quietly at the northwest courtyard, the doors of the two rooms were tightly closed and it was quiet inside without any sound.
