Anle's little face showed suspicion and confusion.
"Why are we moving away as a group? There must be a reason."
An Yizhong shook his head.
"I don't know that. Even the gatekeepers at the manor don't know the specifics. All they know is that the manor is making great preparations for moving, and they're said to be leaving in the next few days."
Anle rubbed his forehead with his fingers, his brows furrowed.
“Suddenly, all the wealthy families in town are tacitly preparing to move. Something must have happened, and it must be something big that concerns the town.” Anle said, then suddenly looked up.
“Uncle, I’ll give you another two taels of silver. Go and inquire around their house to find out why they moved.”
An Yizhong was taken aback. "...This, although this matter is strange, it's not like you have to throw in two taels of silver just to find out some information, is it?"
"Le Wa Zi, isn't this a bit too much of a stretch?"
Anle's face was furrowed, and her voice was heavy.
"Uncle, I'm a little uneasy. Suddenly, eight prominent families are moving away from here at the same time. They're making such a big fuss behind the scenes, and it's all being done secretly."
It's obvious they're doing it behind people's backs, afraid that others will find out something!
This deliberate concealment, coupled with its exaggerated nature, is definitely not a good thing.
Upon hearing this, An Yizhong's expression darkened.
That's true.
Now that you mention it, it does seem like there is something to it.
"Therefore, Uncle, you must find out the details. Money is not a problem."
...
That night, a tall, slender figure suddenly appeared in Anle's room, next to the bedside lamp.
Anle wasn't asleep. Under the soft, warm light of the bedside lamp, she was leaning against the headboard, holding a small, yellow, fluffy chick about half her size, her eyes drooping, lost in thought.
Suddenly a dark shadow fell over his head. Anle subconsciously looked up and froze.
"It's you?"
Looking at the chiseled, rugged face before him, which wasn't entirely unfamiliar, Anle raised an eyebrow, surprised but not frightened.
"Why are you back again? Didn't you already leave?"
Are they still not giving up on trying to find that antidote?
Yu Rong pursed his lips, softening the sharpness in his eyes. His usually stern features became noticeably gentler, though his eyes still held an unyielding coldness and solemnity.
"I'll tell you two things when I get back."
Anle deliberately ignored those icy, chilling eyes and tilted her head.
"What?"
"Move away, leave here, leave Jincheng."
"Moving? Why should I move? Why should I leave this place?"
Anle was surprised, her uncertain eyes fixed on Yu Rong's cold and deep eyes, trying to see something from those inky black eyes.
Then the question I had just been pondering flashed through my mind.
Suddenly, she excitedly grabbed Yu Rong's arm.
"Do you know something? I just received news today that several wealthy families in this town are busy moving."
Has something happened in this town? Or is something about to happen?
You came here to remind me to move, so you must know something, right? Tell me what it is!
Anle's gaze was fixed intently on Yu Rong's cold, hard face, waiting for him to give an explanation.
Yu Rong merely glanced at An Le's small hand gripping his arm with a cold and aloof gaze.
Anle recoiled as if pricked by a needle, inexplicably startled by that cold, indifferent gaze.
The next second, she came to her senses and couldn't help but curse inwardly with trepidation—
What kind of look was that just now?
All I did was grab his arm.
Was it really necessary to stare at her with that frightening look?
So what if no one can touch it?!
It's not like we haven't tried it before!
Anle muttered to herself, glancing at Yu Rong standing in front of her.
The fact that this guy came over at this time to ask her to move out shows he wasn't after that damn antidote!
She was kind enough to let it go, so she reluctantly overlooked the shock.
Anle comforted himself in this way.
Of course, the reality is that even if she wanted to argue, she didn't have the guts; this guy really did look a bit intimidating.
Those cold, emotionless eyes always seemed to look at everyone as if they were dead, exuding a chilling and intimidating aura that made people tremble with fear.
I have this feeling that I'm going to kill her any second!
Completely opposite to the feeling she had before, damn it, she's become chillingly cold since we last met.
Is this how they plan to repay a debt of gratitude by bringing the intelligence, then settle the score, gain confidence, and turn their backs on you?
The truth about euthanasia has to be revealed.
Yu Rong's treatment of her was completely different from before. It was because she had come to repay a debt of gratitude and had nothing to lose, so her attitude was naturally cold.
"There's one more thing."
Yu Rong glanced subtly at the figure in moonlight white sitting in the small pavilion not far from the window, his expression unreadable.
"That person is dangerous, stay away from him."
Anle scratched his head, puzzled, and followed his gaze to the window before looking at Yu Rong with a blank expression.
"You're talking nonsense, I don't understand. Since you're here to repay a debt of gratitude, then explain it to me clearly."
Yu Rong remained indifferent, his tone cold and indifferent, and he had no intention of saying more.
"In short, listen to me, get out of here, and stay away from him."
As the man turned to leave, Anle calmly watched Yu Rong's retreating figure and murmured softly.
"I won't leave until you explain it clearly. If I don't leave, this kindness won't be repaid."
Yu Rong stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"Knowing the truth might kill you."
This goes against my original intention of saving your life and repaying your kindness.
"In this state of confusion and ignorance, I might still die, so I might as well die knowing the truth."
Knowing the truth, I might be able to avoid the risks, stay away from the death zone, and live a good life as you wish.
Yu Rong turned around.
"Okay, then I'll tell you."
Anle took a deep breath and asked slowly.
"I want to know why all the wealthy and powerful families in this town are moving away from here?"
"The reason you want me to move out of here is probably the same reason these wealthy and powerful families are moving out, isn't it?"
Yu Rong responded to An Le with a blank expression, offering her explanation.
"Yes, because this golden city has changed hands. Since the master is leaving, he will naturally take his servants with him."
The best were chosen, and those who were excellent and could contribute to the cause were taken away. These prominent families selected from various towns were the servants chosen by the Lord.
These high-ranking officials, who have value and can be exploited, are all easy targets for slaughter.
How could the Luo family possibly abandon their prized possession in this golden city, letting others profit from it?
