Mr. Fang suddenly sat up from his bed in the hotel and glanced out the window: "Huzi, what time is it now?"
"It's already afternoon." Hu Zi responded.
"Hasn't Axiang come to report the news yet?" Mr. Fang asked with his eyes wide open.
Hu Zi frowned slightly and shook his head.
"Hu Zi, do you feel that something is wrong?" asked Mr. Fang.
"How about I go to the troupe to check out what's going on?" Hu Zi also sensed that something was wrong, so he made a suggestion.
"Our identities have been exposed. If Liu Si has discovered that A Xiang is my spy, then he must have made sufficient preparations and is waiting for you and me to show up. Therefore, it is too dangerous for you to go to the opera troupe at this time." Mr. Fang analyzed rationally.
"But Miss Fang is still in the troupe!" said Hu Zi.
Mr. Fang wandered around the hotel for a while, then took out all the money from his pocket, even took off the only valuable watch on his wrist, and stuffed it all into Hu Zi's hands.
"Master Fang, what are you doing?" Hu Zi asked, looking at the thing in his hand.
"Hu Zi, my intuition tells me that the situation at the troupe is very bad. A Xiang is probably in danger. Fang Biying is my daughter and I can't leave her in the troupe. If I go there, I'm afraid she will be in danger too. There's no need for you to take the risk with me. Just be loyal to me for once. I, the head of the Fang family, don't have anything valuable on me anymore. I'll give you all the valuables I have. You should leave Beijing as soon as possible and find a place to start a new life!" The head of the Fang family patted him on the shoulder and said. Over the years, Hu Zi and A Xiang had been loyal to him and served as his ears and eyes in the troupe. Now that he, the head of the Fang family, had fallen into such a miserable state, he felt that he could no longer drag Hu Zi down and wanted to find him a good place to settle down, as a reward for his loyalty to him over the years.
"Master Fang, I, Hu Zi, have followed you since I was a child. You taught me the skills of singing opera personally. If it weren't for you, I would have starved to death on the streets. Now that you are in trouble, how can I abandon you?" Hu Zi put the things in his hand on the table and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"Hu Zi, listen to me. You know you are loyal, but the situation is different now. The entire troupe has been controlled by Liu Si. If you follow me, you will only die." Mr. Fang began to persuade.
"Master Fang, don't say anything. No matter what the future holds, I, Hu Zi, will never abandon you." Hu Zi responded stubbornly.
Fang's eyes suddenly turned red, and he was deeply moved. He patted his shoulder meaningfully and said, "Huzi, I was right about you. Well, let's go to the troupe together to rescue Biying."
As soon as they finished speaking, they headed towards the troupe together, ready to fight to the death. But when they really arrived at the troupe, they were both dumbfounded. The door of the theater was wide open and it was unusually quiet inside.
"Could this be another trap set by Liu Si?" Hu Zi said in a cautious tone while paying attention to the situation inside.
When Fang Biying staggered out in a daze, Hu Zi and Fang Dangjia looked at each other, unable to hold back any longer, and rushed out.
"Biying, my daughter." Mr. Fang called out with tears in his eyes.
