Lin Xiuyan winked at him: "You'll find out later."
Ye Junfei's bad premonition grew stronger, and as it turned out, his premonition was correct.
The next morning, before dawn, Lin Xiuyan got out of bed and disappeared.
Knowing her wild nature, Ye Junfei assumed she had run off somewhere to play again and ignored her.
At the end of the Chen hour, Wu Ge came over and said, "Young Master, something has happened."
Ye Junfei looked at him and continued, "Miss Lin took Xu Qianting to the south of the city for a stroll this morning..."
A sharp glint appeared in Ye Junfei's eyes: "What did you say?"
Wu Ge had no choice but to continue, saying, "When they were touring the south of the city, they discovered blood seeping from a house."
"Then Xu Qianting immediately summoned the city patrol guards, and together they searched the house and found a large amount of iron inside."
Ye Junfei: "..."
She and Xu Qianting went on a trip to the south of the city. I really don't know how she could come up with that idea!
He asked calmly, "And then?"
Wu Ge glanced at him cautiously before saying, "Then she took Xu Qianting and filed a formal complaint, accusing someone of hoarding iron in that house..."
Ye Junfei: "..."
A public accusation under her real name? That's really something!
Wu Ge continued, "When she filed the report under her real name, it caused quite a stir."
"How big is it?" Ye Junfei asked gently.
Wu Ge felt a chill run down his spine: "She summoned all the playboys in Chongqing and went to the city lord's mansion with great fanfare."
"Now the whole of Chongqing probably knows that a large number of iron blocks are hidden in that house."
Ye Junfei: "..."
He finally understood what she meant when she asked him last night if he would protect her family.
She was openly provoking Zhou Chenyang; while this behavior wasn't exactly courting death, it was close.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Where is she now?"
Wu Ge replied, "She was in front of the city lord's mansion before I arrived. I don't know if she's gone anywhere else now."
As Ye Junfei's personal bodyguard, he was aware that Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan had been sharing a bed every night during this period.
Ye Junfei didn't like getting close to people, especially women, and he knew that Lin Xiuyan held a special place in his heart.
Lin Xiuyan's audacity exceeded his expectations.
Ye Junfei thought for a moment and then calmly instructed, "Send a message to Wudao, instructing him to intervene in this matter as the heir of the Prince of Pingnan."
Wu Ge asked him, "How does the Crown Prince want him to intervene?"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes: "Get all the iron blocks, bind Zhou Chenyang, and don't let him resort to desperate measures."
He came to Chongqing this time for the iron mine.
They had only uncovered some clues about the matter. His trip to the south of the city last night was an accident, but it accelerated the development of the whole affair.
Lin Xiuyan thought she was useful to him, and he would help her for the sake of the bigger picture, but he was also incredibly audacious.
She probably has no idea what these iron blocks mean.
Wu Ge said softly, "Your Highness, you know that Wu Dao isn't very bright. This matter is quite difficult, and I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it well."
Ye Junfei smiled and said, "Then tell him that if he can't handle this matter well, he has no reason to live."
Wu Ge silently mourned for Wu Dao for a moment, then said, "Yes, I will go and inform him right away."
As he was about to leave, he turned back to look at Ye Junfei and asked, "Young Master, Wu Dao is supposed to find a way to get these iron blocks, but what about the swords that Zhou Chenyang has forged?"
Ye Junfei said listlessly, "Just have someone keep an eye on things and make sure Zhou Chenyang doesn't move them away."
After Wu Ge left, Ye Junfei took a deep breath and decided to go and see Lin Xiuyan's results.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still stunned when he arrived at the scene.
Lin Xiuyan led most of the spoiled rich kids in Chongqing to block the city lord's mansion.
Those spoiled brats were having a great time, each sitting on a chair by the roadside eating chilled watermelon.
Their servants each took a piece of red or green silk, waved it around, and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Someone is hoarding iron blocks in the south of the city!"
"Lord City, please investigate this matter immediately!"
The noise at the scene was so loud it hurt people's ears.
Lin Xiuyan and Xu Qianting stood together, whispering and laughing to each other, looking quite happy.
Ye Junfei: "..."
Although he had heard of Lin Xiuyan's reputation as a playboy, she had always acted very seriously, except when she smeared Zhou Chenyang's face with excrement.
He almost forgot that she was a playboy.
Now, seeing her leading a group of spoiled brats in causing trouble, he finally realized that besides her steady and mature side, she also had a spoiled side.
Lin Xiuyan also saw him, and walked towards him with a smile, her almond-shaped eyes almost curving into crescents: "Master is here!"
Ye Junfei smiled exceptionally gently: "Why didn't you invite me to such a lively occasion?"
"What if you get hurt or fall down? How am I supposed to explain this to your father?"
Lin Xiuyan knew he must be angry right now, and she was about to coax him when Xu Qianting came over and hooked his arm around Ye Junfei's shoulder.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Is Xu Qianting courting death?
Ye Junfei: "..."
I recognized him by his eyes; he was courting death.
Xu Qianting, however, was completely oblivious to this. He happily said, "Xiao Ye, although I didn't like you before."
"But you saved my life last time, so you're my friend now!"
Ye Junfei looked at Xu Qianting: "Little Ye?"
Xu Qianting was completely unaware of how dangerous his situation was. He smiled and said, "That's right!"
"Friends only address each other this way when they are close!"
"Yucheng is my territory, I'll protect you from now on."
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes curved slightly: "You'll protect me?"
Just as Xu Qianting was about to speak, Lin Xiuyan couldn't stand it any longer and pushed him aside, saying, "Don't pay any attention to him..."
"Why are you pushing me!" Xu Qianting moved closer to Ye Junfei again.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Fine, Xu Qianting really knows how to make a fool of himself!
Even if she angers Ye Junfei, she can't save him!
Xu Qianting then put his arm around Ye Junfei's shoulder and said, "Who taught you your martial arts? They're amazing! Can you teach me?"
Ye Junfei was originally considering whether to cut off Xu Qianting's neck or his hand, but after hearing this, he changed his mind.
He said very gently, "If you want to learn, I can teach you anytime."
Xu Qianting's eyes lit up immediately: "Really? That's great! I declare that you're my best buddy from now on!"
A smile appeared in Ye Junfei's eyes: "Then you'll have to practice martial arts diligently from now on. I guarantee your skills will improve rapidly."
Xu Qianting happily said, "Great! That way I can protect Yanyan from now on!"
Ye Junfei glanced at Lin Xiuyan: "Yanyan?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
