Chapter 237 Visiting the Hua Mansion Warehouse
It's just that if there's a chance that something could go wrong, no matter how small the chance, it will.
Murphy's Law arrives late.
As the sun gradually set, Lin Yangyang still hadn't returned. Lin Zhiqing knew in his heart that things were indeed developing in the worst possible scenario.
When it is dusk, it is time for Hua Jianyun to go out.
That was the most chaotic time in the Hua Mansion. If Lin Jingya found a chance to escape, or if she had been hiding and took the opportunity to escape with the wedding procession from the Bianliang prefect, then it would have been difficult.
Lin Zhiqing found an opportunity to go to the front yard. After seeing the people around his grandfather Lin Qingshan, he asked them to convey a message to his grandfather.
Lin Qingshan had no objection to Lin Zhiqing's arrangement, and immediately asked the soldiers of the Lin family to wait outside the Hua Mansion.
Lin Zhiqing saw the familiar soldiers and then turned to look for Lin Yangyang.
Lin Yangyang wandered around the warehouse for a long time. When she saw Lin Zhiqing, her first reaction was to shake her head.
Lin Jingya did not show up.
Calculating the time, Lin Zhiqing immediately ruled out the possibility that Lin Jingya had escaped.
In other words, she was still in the warehouse.
"Cousin, how confident are you that you can sneak into the warehouse without alerting the guards at the Hua Mansion?" Lin Zhiqing spoke to Lin Yangyang as if they were chatting.
Lin Yangyang thought about it and stretched out seven fingers.
70% sure!
That’s enough!
Lin Zhiqing had just noticed that Hua Jianyun was accompanied by a large number of maids and nannies, so he was actually not needed much.
Since that was the case, she decided to take the initiative and look for Lin Jingya.
She is used to thinking about risk and return.
In this case, finding Lin Jingya is obviously better than letting her escape and cause trouble at the wedding banquet.
Lin Zhiqing raised her chin, and Lin Yangyang immediately understood: "Sister Qing, hold on to me."
She grabbed Lin Zhiqing's arm, then pointed her toes and started climbing walls and flying over rooftops.
The closer they got to the warehouse, the more people guarding it there were, even more than those in Liu Mang's mansion.
You know, Hua Mansion is a merchant's home, and the most important place is this warehouse.
Lin Yangyang dodged left and right and landed behind a low rockery.
Her face was tense. "Sister Qing, we're very close to the warehouse, but there are too many guards here. It's almost impossible to go in directly."
This was the first time Lin Yangyang said the word "impossible".
Lin Zhiqing understood Lin Yangyang's straightforward nature.
She said it was impossible, so if we force our way in, it must be impossible.
"Let me think about it." Lin Zhiqing ignored the loud noise of gongs and drums in his ears, his thoughts constantly churning.
The current situation is no different from her night talk with the Ministry of Justice.
How did she do it then?
Fire attack!
Make a feint to the east and attack in the west!
Of course, she would never set fire to the Hua Mansion.
This won't do her any good.
"Cousin, if I ask you to lure away those guards, how confident are you that they won't discover your identity?" Lin Zhiqing spoke again.
This is still a method of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
Lin Yangyang lowered her head and thought for a moment before she slowly spoke, "Ninety percent! But what will you do if I go and lure them away?"
"Before I came out, I said hello to Miss Tonghua. She said she wasn't feeling well and was wandering around. She probably wouldn't be able to go back anytime soon." Lin Zhiqing was very calm.
"I can't distract the guards. You're the only one who can do this, cousin."
"If you still have energy left, you can come back to pick me up in a quarter of an hour. If not, don't be impulsive. I will find a way to escape."
"This... this is a bit too risky." Lin Yangyang felt that it was dangerous to let Lin Zhiqing go in alone.
Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "Have you forgotten my skills? If it really doesn't work, I can play the flute."
"If you hear the sound of the flute, go find your grandfather and work together to find a solution."
This is the worst case scenario.
Lin Yangyang knew that time was urgent, and since she trusted Lin Zhiqing's ability to judge people's minds, she didn't say anything more.
"In that case, Sister Qing, please wait here. If I have the chance later, I will do my best to get the key to the warehouse."
Lin Zhiqing nodded slightly.
The two exchanged glances. Lin Yangyang observed for a moment, then flew up in an instant.
Seeing Lin Yangyang leave, Lin Zhiqing hid inside the rockery, with his back pressed tightly against the stone wall.
Not long after, footsteps were heard, but no one was making any noise.
Obviously, Hua Jianyun is getting married today, and the Hua family does not want any trouble to occur.
After the footsteps had passed, Lin Zhiqing carefully looked towards the warehouse through the gap in the rockery.
There are indeed fewer guards in that place.
She touched the flute on her waist and felt a little relieved. Then she walked forward cautiously, but did not dare to get too close.
After observing for a while, she saw that there were eight or nine guards next to the warehouse.
With this number, it would be difficult for Lin Zhiqing to get in given his strength.
If you use the sound of the flute, it will inevitably leave room for criticism.
This is a dilemma.
Lin Zhiqing pursed his lips tightly, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
This is not in any enemy's mansion, but in Hua Mansion.
She and Hua Jianyun seem to be close, but this intimacy is based on common interests, and their friendship is not too deep.
If Lin Zhiqing ruined the wedding banquet, he would not only offend Hua Jianyun, but also the Grand Secretary and the Prefect of Bianliang.
This is like jumping from one fire pit to another.
It's not worth it no matter how you look at it.
Just as she was brainstorming, another sound of footsteps was heard.
A small-scale discussion followed.
Lin Zhiqing was slightly stunned. Could it be that his cousin had turned back and diverted some of the people?
But she didn't dare show up.
Only when the footsteps faded away did she quickly stick her head out to take a look.
This is a shocking sight.
There were only three or four people left surrounding the warehouse.
After confirming that they were not fishing, Lin Zhiqing made a quick decision and took a longer detour to the back of the warehouse.
Seeing that no one was coming from behind, she didn't have time to think about it and gently pushed open the window.
The window was much looser than she had imagined. Combined with the reactions of the guards just now, Lin Zhiqing had a bold idea in her mind.
Could it be that someone else is visiting the warehouse?
Do you want to pick up Lin Jingya?
The thought flashed through her mind and she quickly climbed in through the window.
Just as she was about to open the window, the guard in front went around to the back.
Hearing the footsteps, Lin Zhiqing didn't dare to act rashly, but just held the window tightly.
Fortunately, there were no more footsteps moving forward.
Lin Zhiqing's heart was beating fast. She slowly lowered her body and began to observe her surroundings.
This is an ordinary room. The only unusual thing about it is the various fabrics and threads placed around it.
Lin Zhiqing took a quick glance and knew that those things were very expensive.
She moved to the corner and hid in the darkness, intending to observe the situation before taking any action.
