Chapter 420 Whatever she wants, I have it
Half a minute later, Sang Zhixia moved into the guest room on the second floor as Bai Chengren requested.
The arrogant manner in which she walked away was so dazzling that Chen Xiu, who was staring at her as she returned, trembled with anger: "Sir, there must be something wrong with this man!"
"We followed the trail all the way to her. Although she changed her clothes, she still had the unique rotten smell of Qi Yan'er on her body. She must know where Qi Yan'er is. This person..."
"What good does it do to know?"
Bai Chengren glanced at Chen Xiu with an ambiguous expression, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Nianhe's private seal, someone protected by the Chen family, do you think he's so easy to move?"
Although they both have the surname Chen, the Chen Xiu in front of him is at best just a lackey who can't get anything done.
Chen Nianhe is different.
Chen Nianhe is a madman who bites whoever he catches.
Bai Chengren had never heard of anyone Chen Nianhe had close contact with, and he couldn't guess why the young woman in front of him had such a deadly thing as a private seal.
But now that they have revealed their identities, it is difficult to act rashly.
At least it can't be done openly.
Bai Chengren quickly closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Put it aside for now."
"I don't think she can cause much trouble under my watch."
Bai Chengren said with displeasure in his eyes: "I gave you so much time and manpower, and you caught this untouchable troublemaker. But where's the person you were supposed to arrest? Qi Yan'er hasn't been found yet?"
Chen Xiu lowered his head guiltily and whispered in defense: "Sir, it's not that we are not dedicated, but this woman of unknown origin has interfered and confused Qi Yan'er's whereabouts. I now suspect..."
"What's the use of doubting?"
Bai Chengren suppressed his anger and wanted to chop someone with his sword. He gritted his teeth and said under Chen Xiu's terrified gaze, "Didn't you find Qi Yan'er's things?"
"Put those things in order first and send them to Qi Jie later."
Qi Yan'er would definitely not be found within the time limit set by Qi Jie.
Fortunately, we haven't reached a desperate situation yet.
Bai Chengren knew what Qi Jie was afraid of for many years, and he could also guess what Qi Jie was most afraid of right now.
In the final analysis, they are actually just testing each other's bottom line. Before getting the result they want most, it is not the moment when they need to fight to the death.
Before finding Qi Yan'er, and before the limited patience he has left is completely exhausted, it will not be fatal for now.
Chen Xiu messed up the job and didn't dare to say anything. He went on to do it in fear.
Bai Chengren stared at his back in silence for a long while, then looked at the direction Sang Zhixia was assigned to go, and suddenly waved to the silent figure behind him, "Come here."
In the guest room, Sang Zhixia was leisurely fiddling with the teacups on the table. Ling Chu peeked out the window, then closed it with his backhand and said softly, "Boss, this place is under strict guard."
Perhaps in order to save face for both parties, Bai Chengren did not choose to send people to watch openly, but instead scattered the stalkers around.
There were no people anywhere, but everywhere were eyes staring intently.
Sang Zhixia's freedom in the inn is temporarily unrestricted, but if she wants to leave, it will be quite difficult.
Sang Zhixia was not surprised by this.
"Not surprising."
Sang Zhixia said slowly, "This inn is the largest in Ancheng. The Governor-General is forced to return to his luxurious Governor-General's Mansion. Even if he has to stay away temporarily, he must choose the best. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of it?"
It is said that coincidence is better than scheming, and everything is determined by God.
Sang Zhixia was worried about what to do next if Bai Chengren insisted on taking Mr. Qi away.
Unexpectedly, Bai Chengren was forced to settle down in Ancheng. Without waiting for the people in the city to make arrangements, he moved into the place they were most familiar with in Ancheng.
As luck would have it, the people in the inn seemed to have no connection with each other, yet they were under the surveillance of countless eyes.
But in fact, this place was a sieve full of holes, and Bai Chengren was walking head-on into the sieve.
Ling Chu's tense heartstrings relaxed a lot after returning to a familiar place, but thinking about his current situation, he couldn't help but frown: "Looking at the situation just now, this place may not be safe anymore."
Bai Chengren's delaying tactic was to temporarily stabilize Sang Zhixia, as he didn't want to cause any more trouble before dealing with Old Qi.
But the murderous intent that overflowed from him was real.
If Bai Chengren was only interested in the silver in Sang Zhixia's pocket before, then now he should be more interested in Sang Zhixia's life.
He didn't want Sang Zhixia to have any chance to tell anyone about his capture in Shu after leaving Shu.
Only if Sang Zhixia died would he feel at ease.
Sang Zhixia snorted lazily and said slowly, "Do you know who's imprisoned back there?"
Lingchu's eyes narrowed slightly: "You mean..."
"It's not a good idea to lose both sides, but killing someone with someone else's knife and causing losses is a good idea."
Sang Zhixia dipped her fingers in tea and wrote a few strokes on the table. She said sarcastically, "Haven't we seen this trick of using a knife to kill someone before?"
Old Qi is a hidden danger that could get out of control at any time, and so is Sang Zhixia.
Bai Chengren doesn't want to get involved in any of the hot potatoes, so the best way is to make these two hot potatoes collide head-on.
Sang Zhixia couldn't help but sigh at the Governor's meticulousness. "If I die at the hands of bandits, no matter whose order I take, I won't be able to explain the whole thing to the King of Hell. Even if the people behind me know something, they will have to bear it."
"It's the same for the people on the other side."
While delaying, he first stabilized Mr. Qi, seized the opportunity to remove the sharp blade hanging over his head, and then took two eggs and crashed them into each other to death. No one could find much fault with him.
There are many bandits in Shu, and banditry is the best excuse.
As long as the operation is done properly, it is possible to eliminate two major worries at once. Bai Chengren is of course happy to do so.
"But it's not all bad news."
Sang Zhixia smiled meaningfully and said leisurely, "When the snipe and the clam fight, the one who benefits may not be the fisherman behind the scenes."
The show hasn't even officially started yet, and some people are getting happy too early.
Sang Zhixia knocked on the table while Lingchu was in a daze and said slowly, "Bring all the soup kitchen bills here, and we'll continue to make our own."
No matter what others do, it won't stop Sang Zhixia from spending money in Shu.
As for the things that make you worry, let others worry about them.
She is not in a hurry at all now.
There was not much news about Sang Zhixia staying in the inn, but Old Qi, who was living there at the same time, soon got the news when the waiter delivered the meal.
First, Qi Yan'er was rescued, and then Sang Zhixia returned safely.
Although Bai Chengren was still seeing every move, the good news that followed still made Old Qi breathe a sigh of relief.
"Very good……"
Qi Lao murmured silently: "It's really great that nothing happened..."
He hadn't dared to hope for a day when he could feel relieved of his burdens, but a momentary kindness had made his wish come true...
Old Qi knew that he couldn't say much under the circumstances, but after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but say in a barely audible voice, "Tell your master that I, Qi Jie, owe her two lives."
"Whatever she wants, as long as I have it."
