Yan Liang strolled leisurely down the street. The surveillance footage showed Bai Miao waiting for his food on the second floor of a restaurant. The other person had changed his expression and was staring blankly at the table.

Now, Miss Yuze is not under much threat in the West Depot. The news she revealed surprised both Yan Liang and Yu Huatian.

Yu Huatian could only order a halt to the search. He sent men to search only the direction Bai Miao had fled in. Someone found blood-stained cloth and broken arrows in an inn, but no one was found.

Now that there's another clue, it means there's something they haven't discovered yet.

If Bai Miao didn't stay at Laifu Inn, then where did the strange smell in Laifu Inn come from?

Yan Liang guessed that the person who stayed at Laifu Inn must also be from Chiri Valley. Combining this with what Bai Miao hadn't finished saying to Yu Ze, the person who killed Liu Changmin must have been that person.

Two cases, two murderers.

It's just unclear why Bai Miao, despite being from the same Red Sun Valley, didn't travel with that person.

The aroma of food wafted from ahead, and Yan Liang arrived at the restaurant where Bai Miao was. He checked his purse, went inside, ordered two inexpensive dishes, had them delivered to the second floor, and then headed towards the stairs.

As he stepped onto the second-floor stairs, someone turned their gaze toward him, and Yan Liang suddenly turned to look at the source of the gaze.

There were more than ten people on the first floor, all eating with their heads down, except for three people sitting at a table by themselves. Yan Liang paid special attention to those three, but couldn't find anything amiss.

He paused for a moment, then put the monitor back on before continuing upstairs.

Yan Liang recognized that gaze very well.

It was the same malicious gaze he had felt yesterday.

Second floor.

On the table in front of Bai Miao was a pile of steaming food. He stared at the food for a while, then reached for a pair of chopsticks.

Footsteps sounded on the stairs. Bai Miao subconsciously looked up, his pupils contracting slightly, before casually lowering his head to pick up some food.

The man, dressed in gray, was Yan Liang, who had once again tricked Li Xunle away after finishing his day's work, and had changed his clothes to find Bai Miao.

When Yan Liang went upstairs, he deliberately avoided making eye contact with Bai Miao. Only after Bai Miao looked away did he look at the corner where Bai Miao was.

The other party was dressed in black this time, which reminded Yan Liang of the black-clad youth he met when he went to talk to Miss Yuze about this matter.

He paused for a moment, then sat down at the table in front of Bai Miao, directly opposite him.

Bai Miao could see Yan Liang as soon as he looked up, and Yan Liang was obviously not very comfortable with Yan Liang's gaze. He looked up at him slightly, and Yan Liang gave him a smile.

The two stared at each other for a while, then Bai Miao coldly lowered his head and stopped looking at Yan Liang.

He developed a dislike for Yan Liang because of Yan Liang's behavior—Bai Miao felt dissatisfied and disappointed because Yan Liang still went to find Yu Ze after betraying him, which led to his dislike.

It's understandable that Yan Liang rekindled his old flame with that flower girl and broke off all ties with Yu Ze; but his biggest mistake was that he went and provoked Yu Ze again after breaking up with her.

People who don't match their words with their actions are among the people Bai Miao dislikes the most.

Yan Liang fits this description perfectly.

Even if Bai Miao had previously held a good impression of Yan Liang, after seeing Yan Liang's behavior, that good impression immediately disappeared.

Bai Miao stared at the food on the table for a while, then put down his chopsticks. He was preoccupied with Yu Ze, and his wound was throbbing again, so he had no appetite.

He ordered so many dishes because he ate the same food all year round in Red Sun Valley. After leaving the valley, he saw food he had never eaten before, which made him interested in eating. Seeing the food also made him feel much better.

But with so much food laid out in front of him, Bai Miao had no interest whatsoever.

Bai Miao stared blankly, then suddenly realized that something had appeared above his head. He looked up and found that Yan Liang had been sitting opposite him at some point.

Bai Miao: "—!!"

Bai Miao was secretly alarmed. He hadn't noticed Yan Liang's movements. Had he been too careless?

Yan Liang smiled and said to Bai Miao, who was looking at him with a mixture of doubt and wariness, "Hello."

Bai Miao, puzzled, replied, "...Hello."

Yan Liang's smile gave him a bad feeling, but when he thought that this person had never seen his true face, he felt relieved and responded to Yan Liang's greeting with a cold expression.

Yan Liang stared at him for a moment, then said bluntly, "Isn't it going too far to treat me like a stranger, Brother Liu—"

His drawn-out "Brother Liu" sounded incredibly irritating.

Bai Miao nearly knocked over the food on the table, looking at the composed Yan Liang with suspicion and uncertainty, unsure how to respond. He composed himself and said coldly, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

“Now that I’ve directly stated your identity, I won’t let you fool me.” Yan Liang chuckled. “Let’s talk.”

Bai Miao looked at Yan Liang silently, finally realizing that this man truly believed that he was Liu Changmin.

How exactly did this person find out?

Bai Miao uttered a question from the depths of his soul.

The gap between paying players and free-to-play players is like an insurmountable chasm; if you don't have money, don't even think about beating paying players.

Yan Liang, a pay-to-win player, and Bai Miao looked at each other for a while before reluctantly breaking the silence: "Stop spacing out and talk to me—who killed Liu Changmin?"

Bai Miao composed himself and said coldly, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

Yan Liang: "..."

No, you're already making that face, are you still going to deny it?

Bai, stubborn and resolute, silently met Yan Liang's gaze, determined not to admit it.

"Do you want me to borrow a dog from the Rain Supervisor to recognize you, or do you want to just admit your identity directly?"

Yan Liang chuckled and said, "I came alone. If I wanted to arrest you, I would have notified Chief Yu to come with me long ago."

Bai Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally spoke, saying his fourth sentence to Yan Liang: "The words of a petty person cannot be trusted."

Yan Liang: ...A nobody? Who? ???

Having been unjustly branded a villain, Yan Liang was now speechless.

"...What makes you say that?"

Yan Liang was extremely puzzled, as he did not seem to have offended "Liu Changmin".

"You—" Bai Miao was furious and roared, "Your words and actions don't match! Since you chose your pretty girl, why did you go and provoke Yu Ze? Don't you have any self-awareness?!"

Yan Liang: "..."

He was wronged by being falsely accused.

Bai Miao's voice was somewhat loud due to his anger, which made the waiter who was carrying the dishes upstairs for Yan Liang tremble. He cautiously glanced at the two people in the corner.

Bai Miao noticed his gaze, pursed his lips tightly, and looked gloomy.

Yan Liang glanced at him for a moment, then turned and smiled at the waiter, instructing him to place the food between the two of them on the table.

The waiter went downstairs in a panic, leaving the two people upstairs quietly.

Yan Liang picked up a pair of chopsticks and slowly responded to Bai Miao's question: "If you want to know the truth, come back to the Li residence with me after dinner. There you will find the answer you want to know—Miss Yuze and I are completely innocent, and I have never fallen in love at first sight."

"If you're trying to set a trap, there's no need for such sophistry," Bai Miao scoffed. "Do you think everyone in the capital is blind?"

Yan Liang was speechless: The people of the capital are not blind, but he and Wang Lianhua are rather idle.

"I'm not lying to you. You'll see when you come back with me."

That was all Yan Liang could say.

It seems impossible to avoid exposing Wang Lianhua's true identity now. Hopefully, Bai Miao will change his opinion of him after learning the truth, and be able to have a calm and rational talk with him.

Yan Liang ate with a steady yet hurried manner. He ate so deliciously that it aroused Bai Miao's appetite, and he also ate some to fill his stomach.

It's worth mentioning that Yan Liang specifically asked Bai Miao for permission, and after receiving it, he finished half of the dishes Bai Miao had ordered under Bai Miao's strange gaze.

Bai Miao got even angrier and, following Yan Liang's chopsticks, finished off the rest of the dishes.

When they got up to leave, the dishes on the table were all gone.

Bai Miao belatedly realized that in order to compete with Yan Liang, he had eaten a lot of food, and his mood had improved a lot.

Yan Liang went downstairs first and saw Bai Miao standing there, saying, "Come with me."

After thinking it over, Bai Miao realized that this person and Li Xunle were not skilled in martial arts, and he was also carrying Gu poison. If Yan Liang really hadn't contacted Yu Huatian beforehand, he could still escape unscathed.

With that thought in mind, Bai Miao followed Yan Liang downstairs.

Almost everyone on the first floor had left, and Yan Liang noticed out of the corner of his eye that the three people who had been sitting alone at the table were gone.

He walked out nonchalantly, and when those malicious gazes were once again fixed on him, the surveillance cameras revealed the source of the gaze.

He was a man sitting at a table with three other people. He was an ordinary-looking man, the kind of person you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

Yan Liang moved the monitor closer to the man. At that moment, Bai Miao had already walked to his side, his brows furrowed slightly because of the injury on his leg.

Do you want me to carry you?

Yan Liang asked sincerely.

"...No need."

Bai Miao's reply was very indifferent.

After they left the restaurant, the ordinary-looking man looked at the sky outside and said to the three people at the table, "I have something to attend to at home. Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen. I'll be leaving now."

The other three smiled and waved to him. After the man left, they whispered among themselves, "He's so generous. He treated us to a meal just for picking up a brocade pouch for him."

"Why not eat it if it's free? He's got plenty of money, he won't be short of a little bit."

"That's true. But I noticed he ordered so much food, yet he didn't eat much himself."

"He can eat it or not, he's got plenty of money anyway."

After the man left, he followed Yan Liang and Bai Miao at a distance. He had an ordinary face and looked even more unremarkable in the evening darkness, with a very weak presence.

Yan Liang kept a close eye on his movements and had a vague idea of ​​the man's identity. He was just waiting to check the surveillance footage to verify it.

Considering Bai Miao's leg injury, Yan Liang deliberately slowed down, but Bai Miao was clearly unwilling to accept Yan Liang's kindness, and snorted coldly: "You don't need to consider me, and besides, the kindness of a petty person is too heavy for me."

Yan Liang was speechless; the seeds he had sown earlier had become the scapegoat he was now facing.

Bai Miao quickened his pace, and Yan Liang, watching his retreating figure, helplessly followed.

Yan Liang: "Aren't you in pain?"

Bai Miao: "It doesn't hurt."

Yan Liang remained silent: ...But you're sweating profusely and your breathing is unsteady.
