Mo Qingcheng's side proceeded relatively smoothly, successfully framing Mei Hongji and nearly bringing disaster to the Yanyun Inn.
Since she had nothing better to do, Mo Qingcheng knocked the man in black down, lit an incense stick, and then cleaned up all the valuables in the study without any qualms. She left a note in a nonchalant manner: "I've had my eye on you for a long time. Come and find me if you dare!"
Mo Qingcheng's lips curved into a smile, her cold gaze swept over the crowd, and she vanished in the blink of an eye...
Meanwhile, Shangguan Yichen entered a classically styled bedroom.
Bai frowned: "Master..." Is it really okay to enter a woman's boudoir at night?
The young boy glared at Bai Yi and said, "Shut up, I don't have that kind of weird fetish. She stole my mother's identity jade token."
"The Madam's jade pendant?" Bai Yi was slightly taken aback: "Impossible... Madam..." No...
"My mother is the eldest daughter of the Phoenix Clan, and no third party is allowed to know this at this time!" A cold glint flashed in Shangguan Yichen's eyes. If he wanted to restrain the Shangguan family, he had to use their power as leverage.
Before coming, Mo Qingcheng revealed the original owner's identity to the young boy, saying that it would be harmless to bring it up if necessary. However, she felt a little guilty that she could not return to her family for the time being to avenge the original owner.
Bai's leg trembled, and he almost knelt down, having been thoroughly disliked by the young boy.
Shangguan Yichen pointed to the dressing table, signaling Bai Yi to quickly search for it.
Bai Yi, who was innocently caught in the crossfire: "..."
Shouldn't it be the young master who makes the move?
Shangguan Yichen frowned. What, are you waiting for me to make a move? What use are you to me?
Helpless, Bai Yi went to the dressing table and resignedly began rummaging through the items. He'd seen people who betrayed their parents, but never those who betrayed their subordinates. "Young Master, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
What's so painful about it? Why do it yourself when you can have someone else do it? You're not stupid...
Bai Yi searched the room thoroughly but found nothing. He shrugged and, without hesitation, continued giving instructions. The dressing table was just a matter of luck; if he guessed correctly, it should be in the secret room. His mother had said the entrance to the secret room was on the bed…
Shangguan Yichen shook his head, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. As long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed.
The woman on the bed frowned at the noise, seemingly about to wake up. Shangguan Yichen stood by the bedside, a cold glint in his eyes. How dare she have plastic surgery to resemble her mother! For now, he'd spare her life, considering she still had some value…
Helpless, Bai Yi acted swiftly, striking Shangguan Yichen's pressure point directly. The next second, a sudden change occurred. A black streak silently descended, flashing with cold light, and pierced straight into Shangguan Yichen's back.
Bai Yi was terrified and quickly rushed forward, saying, "Young Master, let's go quickly."
"Focus!" A sly glint flashed in Shangguan Yichen's eyes as he tossed a smoke bomb and vanished without a trace.
Bai Yi slapped his forehead. His young master had given instructions, so he dared not delay. He grabbed the woman from the bed and disappeared in a flash.
One second ago, Shangguan Yichen crouched down, moved behind the screen, and took advantage of the chaos to enter the secret room.
An hour later, the group reunited and departed. Mo Qingcheng thought for a moment, then casually tossed a torch aside. "Let it burn..."
Back at the farmhouse, Baili Fengyun and Mo Qingyang disliked each other intensely, but were forced into the same room.
Bai went to prepare the medicine, but was blocked by Fengpi Hei on the way. He was injured while protecting the hostage.
Shangguan Yichen followed behind Mo Qingcheng without saying a word, his small face full of frost.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with my eldest? Who upset you?" Mo Qingcheng pinched the little boy's cheek and teased him.
"Here you go!" Shangguan Yichen opened his palm, and a jade pendant carved with a colorful phoenix suddenly caught his eye.
"This is……"
