Chapter 278 Suspicious (Part 1)



"What is this?" Liu Fengmian had never heard of it before.

"A very magical creature that can adjust the color and pattern of its skin to blend in with its surroundings, making it difficult to be detected. It also has a unique camouflage strategy, which is to use its tail to deceive its enemies. The leaf-tailed gecko has obvious eye patterns on its tail, which will give enemies the illusion that it is a larger and more aggressive creature."

After giving a long explanation, Zheng Quchi stared intently at the changes in Liu Fengmian's eyes, but he showed no surprise, only asking in astonishment, "What kind of creature is this...?"

What is life?

What does "living things" and "all things" mean?

Zheng Quchi withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes, saying, "Of course there is."

It exists not only in the animal kingdom, but also among humans.

"lady."

Before long, Sixi and Lanyue finally returned, and they successfully found Brother Sang. However, because he was limping and could not walk fast, it took them a while to arrive.

When Brother Sang arrived at the teahouse, he looked hurried and flustered. But when he saw his younger sister, Sang Yaomei, sleeping peacefully in Zheng Quchi's arms, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Chizi, Yaomei..."

“Brother, don’t panic or blame yourself. Little sister is fine. She was just a little frightened earlier and is now asleep from exhaustion. But with her memory, she’ll probably forget everything when she wakes up.”

Lan Yue did not tell Brother Sang the truth. She followed the instructions of the madam and said that her younger sister had been kidnapped by human traffickers, but she happened to meet the madam and the others on the road and rescued her.

“Brother, this is not your fault. It was my fault for not arranging things properly. I felt that staying in an inn was not very safe. Fortunately, I met a man named Brother Liu in Shengjing. His mansion is spacious and quiet. Why don’t you and your younger sister stay at Brother Liu’s mansion for the time being?”

This surname immediately reminded Brother Sang of "Liu Fengmian," and he asked, "Liu? Is he related to my brother-in-law in some way?"

Zheng Quchi and Liu Fengmian had just discussed this matter. It was inconvenient for her to put her eldest brother and youngest sister in the open, as this could easily be used as leverage by those with ulterior motives. Therefore, the Wei and Wang families, who were closely related to her, were not suitable. Only the Liu family had not yet been brought into the open, so they could be kept in the dark for some time.

"Yes, he is a relative of your brother-in-law, from the same clan, so he is also related to us by marriage."
