“Master, recently there have been frequent visits to places we have been.
Lu Jingze frowned. "Who is it?"
"A father and daughter dressed like this, acting evasively, they don't seem to be Du Gaosheng's people."
Lu Jingze has always been intolerant of any wrongdoing, and naturally he would not tolerate any unknown dangers lingering around him.
"Go check."
"yes."
Within half a day, the spy returned with news.
"Master, it's that little maid from the Cheng family."
"Wang Xiuxiu?"
An Liu was surprised that her master could call her by her name directly, and nodded.
How did she get here?
"The person Du Rengou went to great lengths to find a few days ago was this girl. I only heard that she escaped a few days ago, and the Du family is now searching the whole city for her."
"If she has already escaped, why has she come back?"
The spy hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know the specific reason either. I only know that the old man who was with Miss Wang was a cousin of Luo Qiyou, a student from Nanshu Lane. A few days ago, Luo Qiyou was imprisoned by the Du family on charges of abducting a woman."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingze pursed his lips slightly, his jawline taut, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
The undercover agent who had been by Lu Jingze's side for many years knew that when he showed such an expression, it was the most dangerous moment.
Their master never gets angry easily; even when he is furious, he will only speak the sharpest words in the calmest tone.
That chilling aura alone, carrying an invisible sense of oppression, can terrify anyone.

In order to seek justice, Wang Xiuxiu has recently been looking for opportunities to meet with Lu Jingze.
She harbored too many grievances and resentments, and only by seeing Lu Jingze could she find a glimmer of hope.
However, the places Lu Jingze frequented were already under close surveillance by Du Gaosheng's men, and no movement could escape their notice.
Wang Xiuxiu and her cousin Luo dared not make any rash moves and could only hide far away from the crowd.
Despite his advanced age and limited mobility, Uncle Luo insisted on staying with Wang Xiuxiu, fearing that she might impulsively reveal their whereabouts.
Wang Xiuxiu thought she was hiding herself well. Every time she appeared, she wore a bamboo hat and changed her clothes to coarse linen clothes, making her inconspicuous in the crowd.
However, while she evaded Du Gaosheng's eyes and ears, she underestimated the keenness of Lu Jingze's undercover agents.
Despite being extremely careful, it still aroused their suspicion.
For several days in a row, Wang Xiuxiu was unable to find a way to approach him and became discouraged.
This passive waiting won't work; we need to find a suitable opportunity and take the initiative.
With Du Gaosheng keeping a close watch on things, the inn is definitely doomed...
On the other hand, Lu Jingze, who had learned the truth, was surprisingly calm.
This little girl has experienced everything from forceful taking to outright robbery, yet she's exceptionally unlucky.
An Liu was already prepared to withstand the pressure, but unexpectedly, his master's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
this?
Is she still wandering around this area?
"No...no! They probably saw that there were people guarding the inn, so they didn't dare to show up in the vicinity again."
"Not stupid after all," Lu Jingze snorted.
An Liu didn't dare to look up at him, keeping his head down and wondering to himself.
Is his master happy?
"Find an opportunity to let her see me."
"Meet?" An Liu asked in confusion, but quickly realized what was going on and replied, "I will go and bring the men right away."
"No need, leave an opening and let her come on her own."
