It's possible the Queen did it on purpose...
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Shekh realized that the frozen harbor was not a place to go.
Too many people want to know the Queen's whereabouts. There can't be just one mysterious person. There must also be spies planted by people in the other major cities.
The veracity of the news is questionable. If they are to go to Frozen Harbor to learn about Madam Mo, they should at least meet the Queen herself first.
Shekh said, "Don't rush to Frozen Harbor. There are two factions there, and there are high-level players. Even the worst player can find out some information. Let's find out about the Queen first."
"Either is fine." Shi Jinzhe understood her and knew that Shekh must have thought there was something wrong with the Queen to do this.
Once he agreed, the other three naturally had no objections either. After a few brief remarks, they each returned to their rooms.
The next morning, footsteps could be heard coming and going in the corridor of the small hotel, and the knocking on the door made the door frame tremble.
Shi Jinzhe packed up the safe house, tugged at the neat bed, and grabbed the blankets and pillows a few times before opening the door.
A burly man in a black fitted short robe blocked the doorway, followed by four other men dressed identically, all of them tall and strong.
"Guards, search for people."
Shi Jinzhe readily stepped aside, his expression natural, and said, "Please go ahead."
The five men rushed in, and the man in the lead paused for a moment when he saw Shekh sitting on the sofa drinking water.
His sharp eyes swept over her, then he glanced back at Shi Jinzhe, who was guarding the door, and looked at Shehe again, his gaze focusing on the veil covering half of her face.
"Take off the veil."
Shekh put down the cup holder and removed her veil. "What else do you need?"
"Remove the eye bags too."
"That won't be necessary." Shi Jin turned around, put his arm around the man's shoulder, and forced him to turn and walk away, saying in a low voice:
“I brought her from outside the city. If you let her take it off, won’t that show her what I look like?”
The guards didn't understand what he meant. "She can't see what you look like?"
We were sharing a room, and the beds were all messed up, but they said we couldn't see what he looked like?
Is this guy treating him like a fool?
“Yes,” Shi Jinzhe said matter-of-factly, glancing at Shehe as if he were afraid she would overhear.
"No, let her take it off. No normal person covers their eyes. Nobody does that here."
"Why can't a normal person cover their eyes? Don't you even know what fun is?"
"..."
"Besides, I'm married now. What if she sees what I look like and then tries to get close to me?"
"..."
The way the man looked at him slowly changed.
That sounds... a bit strange.
Shi Jinzhe increased the dosage of his deception, saying, "Besides, I found such a remote place to avoid being discovered, and yet you still harmed me like this. Please understand me."
"...I don't understand."
"You can do it, you definitely can." Before the man could even turn around, Shi Jinzhe immediately asked, "What happened outside? How did you manage to find this place? It's so remote."
“Someone broke into the manor on the east side last night…” the man blurted out, only realizing halfway through his sentence.
"East, the Gao Lun family's house? Did he lose something? Or is he looking for someone?"
The man became serious. "It's none of your business. Don't ask."
"How can it not concern me? You just interrupted my good time like this." Shi Jinzhe said as he led him towards the door, and then 'kindly' asked the other four, "Did you find anything?"
Someone replied to him, "...No, it's very clean here."
"Then everything's fine here." Shi Jinzhe smoothly pushed the man out the door and gestured for the others to follow.
"Since everything is alright, you can leave now."
Five guards were sent out in a daze, and only after the door slammed shut did they realize they had obediently left...
The leader of the group said in a deep voice, "No, kick the door down!"
The next second, a painful cry came from inside the door: "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!"
The teammate closest to the door shrugged. "Maybe... we shouldn't go in. We didn't find anything anyway."
"That's right. If there were a problem, why would they be so cooperative in letting us in? As they said, it's all about fun, not that they're blind."
"...I heard the table inside fall over." The speaker pressed his ear against the doorway. "It sounded like someone was chasing someone... If they could chase someone, they must be able to see them."
"That…"
As the man hesitated, the door to the opposite room suddenly opened. Yan Ruoying, who had already checked the room, looked at them with a face full of terror, her eyes clearly displaying the word "pervert."
The accusation was so shameful that the man dragged away the team member who was eavesdropping, yelling, "You're not doing your job! Get to the next location right now!"
The five of them hurried downstairs, and Yan Ruoying jogged after them to the bottom of the stairs. She only returned to her room after they were out of sight.
In the bedroom.
Sheh loosened his grip on Shi Ji's hand, turned his head to look at the wall, and said, "They're all gone."
Shi Jinzhe coughed twice, touching his neck, "You really have the heart to do that? I'm your real husband."
"I'm still the big fool you tricked into bringing back from outside the city."
"Excuses? Aren't they just for lying? I may be stupid, but you can't be stupid either."
Shekh pinched him back, "I think you're quite skilled at it."
“It’s not about being skilled, it’s about enduring humiliation. I’ve already called myself a scumbag, you can’t say that about me.” Shi Jinzhe hugged her waist and lay down with Shehe in his arms. “There’s only one you in the world, I don’t like other snakes.”
He placed his hand on the back of Shekh’s head and smoothed her hair. “They care a lot about the health of ordinary people here. You just heard them. They thought you were blind, that’s why they wanted to check you. Plus, we can’t see the elderly or disabled people. I suspect that everyone in this world has secrets inside their bodies.”
