Chapter 557 Leading the Way
The Ninth Prince had no reaction at all when he heard the name. It was obvious that he didn't even know who this person was.
However, the Ninth Prince chuckled the next moment and said to Jiang Lin, "Did they find out about me so quickly? My people are so unreliable."
"Is it really you?" Jiang Lin asked doubtfully.
The Ninth Prince remained calm, looking at Jiang Lin with a smile on his face. "Didn't you come here already? Why do you look so shocked? Are you just trying to get the truth out of me?"
Jiang Lin's eyes darkened. He couldn't tell the truth from the Ninth Prince's expression.
Qin Xiangnuan poked her head out from behind Jiang Lin and stared at the Ninth Prince for a few seconds.
The strong gaze was fixed on him. The Ninth Prince tilted his head and then met Qin Xiangnuan's eyes. Neither of them dodged.
But after Qin Xiangnuan saw something in his eyes, she looked away as if nothing had happened.
The Ninth Prince narrowed his eyes at that moment, and when his gaze followed Qin Xiangnuan, he was blocked by Jiang Lin who noticed their little action.
The Ninth Prince raised his eyes, and after his gaze met Jiang Lin's, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared, and his eyebrows gradually curved, but the sarcasm in his eyes did not diminish at all.
"Prince Jiang actually cares so much about a woman, so we must keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't get lost again."
The Ninth Prince's frivolous words made Jiang Lin's eyes glow with anger.
"Thank you very much for the reminder, Ninth Prince!" Jiang Lin said this almost gritting his teeth.
At this moment, Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan had both made up their minds that Qin Feng and the others were definitely not with the Ninth Prince.
However, Jiang Lin had completely given up the idea of temporarily winning people over before coming to the Ninth Prince. As it was, they were only suitable to be each other.
Therefore, Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan did not want to get entangled with him any further, "Ninth Prince, let's say goodbye now!"
"Don't you want to hear where Qin Feng and the others are now?" The Ninth Prince expressed his doubts sincerely when he saw that Jiang Lin was really going to take Qin Xiangnuan away after he finished speaking.
"You didn't kidnap the person." Jiang Lin just turned his head and confirmed.
The Ninth Prince just stood there, looking at the two unfamiliar figures in front of him.
After walking for an unknown distance, Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan heard a sound blown by the wind.
"I'll take you to meet Qin Feng and the others."
The moment they heard the words, Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan stopped in their tracks and looked at each other to confirm that they had not misheard the Ninth Prince's words.
The two of them turned around at the same time and watched the Ninth Prince approaching step by step. This time they heard it absolutely clearly.
"Do you know where the person is?" Jiang Lin still hadn't let go of his suspicion of the Ninth Prince.
Qin Xiangnuan also had doubts, but she believed it more than Jiang Lin.
The Ninth Prince gave a barely perceptible laugh upon hearing this, then turned and walked in one direction.
Jiang Lin followed subconsciously, but paused after taking a few steps. He turned his head to look at Qin Xiangnuan and saw that she raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Jiang Lin shook his head and then continued walking.
At this time, Qin Xiangnuan whispered in his ear, "It's okay, just follow and take a look. We have to tell whether it's real or fake."
"I understand." Jiang Lin said, "I just found it a little strange."
There are many strange things that are still unclear, maybe I will understand when I meet the person.
They walked a long way and didn't stop until half an hour later.
Along the way, the three of them tacitly did not communicate with each other, and Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan really walked like this for a long time.
"You..." When the Ninth Prince turned around to look at them, there seemed to be a smile on his face that Zhen had never seen before, a rare smile that did not make people too annoyed.
However, he only saw it at the moment he turned around, so it was most likely an illusion, and Qin Xiangnuan didn't take it to heart.
Jiang Lin didn't even notice his expression. He only noticed what he hadn't finished saying, so he asked him, "Are we there yet?"
The Ninth Prince, who had his back to them, responded, then stopped and pointed ahead, "Go through that gate."
Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan also stopped behind him. They took a look and saw that there was someone guarding the door, and the Ninth Prince didn't seem to intend to lead them in personally.
But the place where they were standing was very clever. When they turned their heads, they saw a wall, which they could easily cross.
"Is there anyone inside?" Jiang Lin asked.
The Ninth Prince stopped answering them. "I have brought you here. What happens to them from now on has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Lin frowned, but he knew that this was the most the Ninth Prince could tolerate.
Therefore, Jiang Lin whispered "I understand" and began to assess the situation inside with Qin Xiangnuan.
Regardless of the Ninth Prince's motivation for helping them, Jiang Lin was not sure whether the culprit was the Ninth Prince, so he would not thank the Ninth Prince at this time.
But let’s be clear, Jiang Lin might add something like this later.
"Nuannuan, wait outside. I'll go take a look." Jiang Lin said to Qin Xiangnuan, "If it's safe, I'll blow the whistle."
"Okay." Qin Xiangnuan responded softly.
The two of them found a good location and angle outside, and in the blink of an eye Jiang Lin jumped into the yard.
Soon Jiang Lin's whistle was heard. When Qin Xiangnuan was about to stand up and jump, she heard the Ninth Prince shouting behind her.
Qin Xiangnuan frowned and turned to look at him.
The Ninth Prince was sure that he saw a few words in Qin Xiangnuan's eyes, "Why haven't you left yet?"
The Ninth Prince lowered his eyes a little, and then said to Qin Xiangnuan: "Miss Qin, I really admire you. You might want to consider it. Following a loser like Jiang Lin, where is..."
"Shut up!" Qin Xiangnuan was not polite to the Ninth Prince. Her cold voice reached the Ninth Prince's second room, "It's not your turn to say what Jiang Lin is like. Ninth Prince, please respect yourself!"
After Qin Xiangnuan finished speaking, she no longer cared about whether the Ninth Prince existed or not, and the next moment she appeared in front of Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin could hear some noise outside the wall. Although it was not clear, he knew that there must be a dispute with the Ninth Prince.
Without asking Qin Xiangnuan what happened, Jiang Lin protected Qin Xiangnuan and hid aside.
"They have patrol officers, and a group of them just passed by. Let's wait for a while." Jiang Lin said in Qin Xiangnuan's ear.
Qin Xiangnuan only felt a little itchy at the tip of her ear and wanted to move her head uncomfortably, but she held back at the moment she was about to move.
"How many people are on patrol?" Qin Xiangnuan asked stiffly.
"No one." Jiang Lin replied.
Qin Xiangnuan nodded. Five people were not a lot, but that was for the two of them. If they brought Qin Feng and the others out later, the risk of being exposed would be quite high.
"Jiang Lin, I..." Qin Xiangnuan was about to talk to Jiang Lin when she heard the sound of uniform footsteps.
