Chapter 23 There Will Be No Next Time
Ling Chan wasn't full yet, so she decided to go back and eat something with Hongdou and the others. She quickened her pace...
But when he returned to the yard, he saw that Gong Lan and Gong Yu had not eaten yet and looked anxious.
"Hongdou hasn't come back yet?" Ling Chan felt something was wrong. She checked the surveillance footage before going to eat and saw that Hongdou was not far from the house.
Without thinking, Ling Chan took out the glasses from her lapel and pressed continuously on a certain part of the frame, and the image on the lenses changed accordingly.
It turned out that Hongdou turned at the last street outside the mansion and told Luo Wei that she was going to buy pastries for the young lady, and asked Luo Wei to bring the workers and the cook back first.
Then Hongdou separated from Lowe and went to a nearby pastry shop alone.
Ling Chan had heard Hongdou mention this bakery, saying it was Ling Xueyao, Ling Xuehui, and Ling Yu's favorite pastries, and that they must be delicious. She kept saying that the young lady should try it too...
The surveillance footage of Hongdou disappeared the moment she entered the pastry shop.
But Ling Chan didn't stop checking the screen. After Hongdou entered the pastry shop, many people came in and out...
She soon discovered the problem. The two people who went in after Hongdou did not come out.
Judging from the actions of these two people, they are not ordinary people, but seem to be kung fu masters.
"Let's go out and find Hongdou." Ling Chan put away her glasses and led Gong Lan and Gong Yu out of the Ling Mansion.
As soon as they left, the doorman went to report to Ling Rui.
Ling Rui had already finished his meal and was alone in the study.
After the doorman left, Ling Rui sat quietly in the study.
He was also waiting for someone, but... he was very uneasy because he hadn't come for so long.
Ling Chan has left the house, so it should have been done, but why hasn't anyone come to report?
He took Gong Lan and Gong Yu and headed straight to the pastry shop.
The name of the pastry shop is Ruyizhai. It is not an ordinary small pastry shop. It is a place similar to a teahouse where customers can enjoy tea and snacks.
Ling Chan walked straight in. Because she was in a hurry, she did not go into the equipment warehouse to check the location of the cloak.
Fortunately, there is only one shop like this, and it is easy to find.
"Gong Lan, you stay up there." Ling Chan pointed upwards, meaning for her to stay on the roof to prevent anyone from escaping.
"Gong Yu, let's split up and look for them."
Gong Lan turned around and walked out of Ruyizhai, jumped onto the roof, and found a suitable position to guard.
Gong Yu and Ling Chan went to the dim sum shop separately to look for people.
First look in the front, then go to the backyard...
"Who are you? This is the backyard of our shop." A waiter from Ruyizhai stopped them.
"Let's find someone." Gong Yu said.
The clerk blocked the doorway and said, "Who are you looking for? There are only people from the shop in our backyard, no one else."
"Don't make trouble here. If you do, we will report you to the police."
Ling Chan took out a small piece of silver and gave it to the guy blocking the door. "Let's go in and find someone. If there's no one, we can leave. We won't destroy anything inside."
She pushed the waiter aside and rushed in. The backyard was where Ruyizhai made cakes. It was steaming hot inside and the view was unclear.
"Hongdou." Ling Chan called anxiously.
"Miss." In the hot mist, Hongdou actually responded to her.
Gong Yu identified Hongdou's location based on her voice. Just as she passed by, two figures passed by her and flew towards the roof as Ling Chan had expected.
Ling Chan told Gong Yu, "Red Bean is now in your hands."
She lifted one foot and touched it to the other, then placed one foot on the wall next to her.
Her feet seemed to be glued to the wall, and she walked onto the roof as if it were flat ground.
When they reached the roof, the heat dissipated and Ling Chan saw the two people. They were indeed the two she saw in the surveillance video.
Gong Lan's martial arts skills were not very good, but it was more than enough to deal with these two people. Ling Chan joined in and knocked down the two men with an electric shock ring in between moves.
The two men fell heavily in the backyard of Ruyizhai.
The guys who just said there was no one else in the backyard are also panicking...
When Gong Yu found Hongdou, she was just as Ling Chan had said, wrapping herself in a cloak and huddled in a corner.
Ling Chan found two straw ropes used to tie firewood in the corner and tied up the two men on the ground.
"take away."
Before the Ruyizhai staff reported to the police, Ling Chan led a few people away.
She didn't care about other people's opinions and just tied the two people back to Ling Mansion.
"Take Hongdou back first and have some tea to calm your nerves. Go get lunch later. I'll be right back."
Ling Rui looked at the book in front of him and found it annoying for some reason, so he casually moved it to another place.
But this change still felt annoying, so I changed it back...
After this happened several times, he became upset and threw the booklet aside.
As the booklet fell on the desk, two heavy thuds were heard outside at the same time.
Ling Rui rushed out and saw two men who were tied up and had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths, looking at him with moaning sounds.
He pulled the cloth out of their mouths and asked, "What's going on?"
"General, it wasn't done..." the two men told him anxiously.
"Ling Rui!" Ling Chan walked out from the side.
"You." Ling Rui straightened up.
"This is the first time." Ling Chan stood in front of the two men.
After a pause, he said, "I forgive you."
Her hand found the ring around her waist and she waved it towards the two bound men.
A laser flashed by, and the two men were instantly separated from their heads and bodies. The places hit by the laser turned into charcoal.
"But there won't be a next time." Ling Chan stared at Ling Rui, "If you attack anyone around me again..."
"You're next!"
Ling Rui's expression changed from surprise to fear, and finally he looked up at Ling Chan as if she were a monster.
This expression made Ling Chan very satisfied.
She 'walked' out directly from his courtyard wall in front of Ling Rui.
Ling Rui watched her walk out in astonishment. She, her Kung Fu... what kind of Kung Fu was it? Why was there no blood?
She...she is so cruel?!
Ling Rui swallowed hard, his throat was dry and painful. Only then did he realize that his hands were shaking...
When they returned to the yard, Hongdou had calmed down and lunch was served.
As soon as Ling Chan sat down, Hongdou took a small plate from in front of her and placed it in front of Ling Chan.
"Miss, this is the pastry I bought. Unfortunately, the others fell, so I only saved one."
"Try it now."
“This is the best-selling pastry at Ruyizhai.”
Ling Chan picked up the pastry, cut it into two halves, stuffed one half into Hongdou's mouth, and put the other half into her own mouth.
"Yeah, it's really delicious." It melts in your mouth, sweet and soft.
"I'll buy some more this afternoon so everyone can try it."
Hongdou was stunned for a moment, "Still...still buying..."
Gong Lan quickly pulled her back to her side and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll go buy it."
The four of them finished their lunch happily. Gong Lan went to Ruyizhai and bought a box of cakes. The four of them drank tea and tasted cakes, having a great time.
At this moment, what happened in front of Ling Mansion in the morning and the conversations of the people flew across the capital city as if they had wings, and also flew to the heavily guarded imperial palace.
"Didn't they say that the girl is too weak to leave the house?"
"What's going on now?!"
