The note in Ai Mingyuan's hand was actually slipped into his hand by Miao Guoguo.
As for Miao Guoguo, she only found the note in front of her after she came to her senses from the shock of Ai Mingyuan's departure.
She held that note like a red-hot iron...
I looked left and right, but I still couldn't figure out who put this note here...
Not knowing what to do, she secretly went to the village chief. The village chief narrowed his small, squinty eyes, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "This is a good thing, isn't it?"
Then, naturally, she smoothly slipped the note into Ai Mingyuan's hand.
While Ai Mingyuan was still caught up in his own inner turmoil, he was completely unaware that the people around him were also watching his emotional changes and noticing his wavering. Everyone else was watching him closely.

The man in black fled in panic, running towards places where he could easily hide; he absolutely could not be caught.
He finally stopped in a part of the forest, looked at the people who hadn't caught up with him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, I've finally escaped."
But he had no idea that someone was watching him calmly and steadily not far away.
Do you really think you can escape so easily?
After catching his breath, the man in black thought about Ai Mingyuan's arrest and what might happen next. He cursed inwardly, thinking that if Ai Mingyuan hadn't refused to see him today, he wouldn't be in such bad luck.
Ai Mingyuan knows quite a lot, and if he were to reveal the Fu family's affairs...
No, he needs to report to his superiors and take action as soon as possible.
In fact, if the man in black had been more careful on a normal day, he might have noticed that someone was following him. After all, there's always a strange feeling about someone following you.
The man in black quickly moved to a secluded spot and took off his black clothes...
He's not stupid. This outfit can hide his body under the cover of night, but if he wore it in broad daylight, he'd be afraid people wouldn't be able to find him.
The person following him was startled; he hadn't expected it to be him...
He clenched his fist, wishing he could rush up and beat the man up.
But still nothing. After following the man in black into the county town, he saw him wander through a maze of alleys in Qingcheng, then enter a small courtyard and never come out again.
He left traces along the way, and soon the informants originally stationed by the Fu family came and took over his job of keeping watch. He went back and reported the situation to Zhang Desheng.
Zhang Desheng was marveling at how Ling Heng had truly taken one step after another, leaving Ai Mingyuan completely bewildered and giving him no chance to react. It seemed that it would be difficult for Ai Mingyuan to speak up soon.
He casually crossed his legs and exhaled, while his elderly father slowly puffed on his pipe and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Desheng pulled his leg back, adopting an obedient posture, and leaned close to his father, saying, "Dad, you really have insight. When Shi Lingheng came, I was still resentful towards him, but I was willing to listen to him because I thought he and Miss were the closest relatives..."
Old Zhang sneered, "You little brat, I've eaten more salt than you've walked roads. Let me tell you, Shi Lingheng is someone important. Don't underestimate him just because he's hiding in the Zehua Mountains now. Don't try to be clever..."
He exhaled a smoke ring: "If I'm not mistaken, people know exactly what you're thinking."
