A'ru didn't dare to look at Gulanyue. She stood there with her head lowered, looking very uneasy.

She was worried that something might happen to Nie Menghan, but she was also worried that Nie Menghan would come back safely, because then she might be the one who got into trouble after coming back.

She also knew that by revealing the man's contact method, she was saying that there was a connection between her young lady and this man. Even though no one was pursuing the matter now, it didn't mean that there wouldn't be any later.

If Nie Menghan comes back and investigates this matter, she will be the only scapegoat.

So she felt very conflicted. She hoped that Nie Menghan would be safe and sound, but she didn't really want her to come back.

"Aru." Gu Lanyue called her softly.

"Here!" Aju looked up at Gulanyue nervously, her whole body like a taut string.

Gu Lanyue tried her best to appear gentle, she said softly:

"There's not many people here, just sit down and have a rest."

Aju sat down obediently, but her expression did not relax at all. She lowered her head nervously and clenched her fingers.

Gu Lanyue gestured to Qianqian to pour her a glass of water.

Aju took it with trembling hands and drank it, then thanked Gulanyue.

"Aru, what red ribbon did you just mention? Where did you hear about it?" Gulanyue looked at Aru and asked.

Aju's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately grasped the empty cup tightly in her hand. For a moment, she forgot to put the cup down. She was extremely nervous and at a loss.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Lanyue became more and more certain of her guess.

"Aru, you are a servant, and some things are forced upon you. If you tell me now, maybe I can find a way to help you."

Gu Lanyue wasn't saying this to lie; she really wanted to help.

Aju looked at Gulanyue, her expression hesitant and conflicted for a long time.

She didn't know if she could trust Gu Lanyue.

But now she has no choice but to grab Gu Lanyue as a life-saving straw.

A'ru put down the cup in her hand, bit her lower lip hard, and said to Gulan Yue:

"I was really forced into this by the young lady. She..."

Liuguang came to the outside of Yuehua Restaurant as Su Liuer instructed. It quietly stopped at the corner of the windowsill and stared at the man inside.

The owner ordered that if it found that the man was in a hurry to leave, it had to delay time to keep him.

But perhaps because the man was about to get the money, he was in a particularly happy and relaxed mood.

Even though he had been waiting for a quarter of an hour, he still showed no intention of leaving and was still waiting patiently.

So Liuguang didn't take any action.

I have to say.

As the prefect of Longcheng, Gu Hongwei is a very proactive official. After receiving the information from Aju, the people he sent quickly arrived at the Yuehua Restaurant.

The red ribbon fluttering in the wind could be seen at a glance, and a group of people immediately went up to catch the person.

When the man saw the door being pushed open and a group of constables coming in, his first reaction was to run, but this was on the second floor, and if he jumped down he would at least break his legs if he didn't die.

He hesitated on the windowsill and didn't jump down, so he was caught.

"Yes, it's him!" The constable compared the portrait in his hand, confirmed it was correct, and escorted the man out of Yuehua Restaurant.

Things are going quite smoothly.

It was so smooth that even the detectives were puzzled, but it was a good thing that the person was caught.

Soon the man was brought back to the yamen. After being interrogated by Gu Hongwei, he confessed his accomplices. The accomplices were soon arrested one by one, and everything continued to go smoothly.

But one thing wasn't going well.
