However, just as she took a few steps, a figure faster than her suddenly flashed by her side and chased after her as fast as a black lightning.
The man was dressed in a black suit, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, highlighting his tall and slender figure.
The sunlight shone on him, outlining the deep contours of his face like a knife, his sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a high nose bridge, and his thin lips tightly pursed, revealing a sense of heroism and determination.
He stepped lightly, his body was agile, every rise and fall was graceful and smooth, his lightness skills were extremely fluent, and in just a few breaths he closed the distance with the thief.
When the thief saw someone chasing him, he was terrified and ran even faster, but no matter how he fled, he could not get rid of the person behind him.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the man appeared in front of the thief like a ghost, stretched out his hand as fast as lightning, grabbed the thief's collar, and threw him heavily to the ground.
The thief struggled to resist, but the man slightly turned his body and easily avoided the thief's attack. Then he kicked the thief's wrist. The thief felt pain and the purse in his hand fell to the ground.
The man was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he caught the purse in one go, his movements smooth and graceful.
Then, the man patted his sleeves, as if he was disgusted by the dust on them. With a faint smile on his face, he slowly turned around and walked towards Wei Yunrou.
Wei Yunrou looked carefully and saw the other person's face clearly. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She didn't expect that it was Yun Yiming, whom she had met before at the southwest border.
Yun Yiming was dressed in a neat suit, with an upright posture, a bright smile on his face, and his eyes revealed the heroic spirit of youth.
The young man walked over with a smile and gently tossed the purse into Wei Yunrou's arms.
Wei Yunrou took the purse with some surprise, raised her head and looked at Yun Yiming, and asked in surprise: "General Yun, how did you get here?"
Yun Yiming blinked his eyes, smiled mysteriously, and said, "This is a secret. But, look, I helped you get your wallet back, so shouldn't you treat me to a meal to express your gratitude? I'm starving."
Wei Yunrou couldn't help but laugh at Yun Yiming's playful look, nodded, and said, "Okay, since Master Yun has helped me so much, it's only natural that I should treat you to a meal. Let's go, there's a nice restaurant up ahead."
The next day was the day of departure, and the early morning sun shone softly on the Wei family mansion.
Su Huaiyue spent a long time and carefully prepared a carriage.
The carriage looks simple and elegant on the outside, but is very spacious on the inside and can accommodate five people comfortably.
The two horses in front were also carefully selected, with shiny coats and strong physiques.
Madam Wei was supported by several maids and slowly stepped into the carriage.
Wei Yunrou was wearing a new light blue dress with fluttering sleeves, and the pearl flowers on her head swayed gently with her movements.
She followed closely behind Madam Wei, but her pace slowed down unconsciously.
Before getting on the bus, she raised her head slightly, looked over the heads of the crowd, and couldn't help but look into the distance for a while.
There was a hint of expectation and confusion in her eyes, as if she was looking for someone. Her eyes were like searching for a lighthouse in the vast ocean, revealing a bit of anxiety and loss.
Su Huaiyue had been paying attention to Wei Yunrou's actions. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly and asked jokingly: "Yunrou, who are you looking for? Is there someone you love that you don't want to say goodbye to?"
Su Huaiyue's voice was soft, with a hint of teasing, and her eyes were full of smiles.
When Wei Yunrou heard Su Huaiyue's words, she was slightly stunned and a blush quickly appeared on her face.
She quickly waved her hand and replied with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please stop teasing me. I just can't bear to leave the city of Youzhou. I've lived here for so long, how can I just leave without any nostalgia? How can I look for anyone?"
Her voice was clear and pleasant, and she tried to use a light tone to cover up her true thoughts.
After saying that, Wei Yunrou hurriedly got into the carriage without waiting for Su Huaiyue to ask any more questions.
Lu Jin was wearing a well-tailored moon-white brocade robe and had an elegant posture. He was standing aside and directing the servants to carry the goods.
Su Huaiyue walked gracefully to her side. Lu Jin noticed someone approaching and turned around. Seeing that it was Su Huaiyue, a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Miss Su."
Su Huaiyue nodded slightly, looked at Lu Jin with a firm gaze, and said, "Madam Lu, I'll trouble you to take care of the many affairs of Meiyan Pavilion."
Since Lu Jin started working with her, the two have had a tacit understanding, and Su Huaiyue highly recognizes Lu Jin's abilities.
Even though there had been some friction before, in her eyes they were just minor quarrels. Sometimes, ability is more important than character.
Lu Jin smiled lightly, his eyes falling on the seal in Su Huaiyue's hand that represented her identity as the manager of Meiyan Pavilion.
Su Huaiyue handed the seal to Lu Jin and said seriously, "Madam Lu, Meiyan Pavilion is now in your hands. I believe that with your ability, you can open it all the way to the capital and make Meiyan Pavilion famous in the capital."
Lu Jin took the seal and felt it was heavy in her hand. It was not only a seal, but also Su Huaiyue's trust and confidence in her.
She looked up at Su Huaiyue and said jokingly, "Miss Su, you are really generous. Aren't you afraid that I will sell Meiyan Pavilion at a high price and run away with the money?"
Hearing this, Su Huaiyue smiled confidently, with a hint of pride in her eyes. "The unique technology of the Beauty Pavilion in my hands is enough to create another equally outstanding Beauty Pavilion. Am I afraid that you will mess around? I believe in you, and I also believe in the friendship and cooperation we have had these days."
After hearing what Su Huaiyue said, Lu Jin didn't know how to respond for a moment.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and her admiration for the woman in front of her increased a little more.
She gently patted Su Huaiyue's shoulder and said with emotion: "Miss Su, you are truly the most outstanding person I have met in the past few decades. You are brave, resourceful, and decisive. I hope you have a safe journey and we will see you in the capital. When the time comes, I will need your guidance when the Meiyan Pavilion opens in the capital."
Su Huaiyue smiled and nodded: "Mrs. Lu, you are too polite. When we meet in the capital, we can plan the great cause of Meiyan Pavilion together."
Afterwards, the two said goodbye to each other, and Su Huaiyue turned around and got on the carriage.
Wei Che was dressed in simple clothes and acted as a groom.
He skillfully waved the whip, and the carriage slowly drove towards the outskirts of Youzhou City. The carriage moved slowly forward on the winding official road, and the wheels crushed the gravel, making a "gurgling" sound.
Outside the car window, the scenery is poetic, with rolling green hills and occasionally a few tall trees standing by the road, their leaves rustling in the breeze.
However, Su Huaiyue had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery along the way.
She was closing her eyes slightly, trying to relax her slightly tense nerves due to her upcoming return to Beijing.
At this moment, the familiar yet somewhat abrupt system voice suddenly echoed in her mind: "Ding! Issue mission - find out the whereabouts of Yan Shu, Lin Yuan, and Li Ruolan."
