Chuchu certainly doesn't believe that Yu Jian is doing this out of kindness.
So what was his purpose in helping her? It couldn't be because he was attracted by her beauty, right?
Looking at Yu Jin's delicate face, Chuchu touched her chin.
She really doesn't have this...
"Miss Chuchu, you're overthinking. I'm not helping you. Anyway, you've brought the trouble here, and I won't feel at ease until the trouble is completely solved. Well, do you agree to this proposal, Miss Chuchu?"
“Do I have the right to say no?”
Yu Jin raised his lips and smiled: "Of course, I am such an unsympathetic person."
Chuchu smiled, obviously not believing it.
"I agree."
Why not agree? What's wrong with being bait? As long as she can catch those inexplicable crazy dogs, she will do anything.
"Miss Chuchu is a straightforward person!" Yu Jin clapped his hands in praise, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, "Don't mention such a confidential matter to my fiancée."
Chu Chu pulled the corner of her mouth.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and she endured it!
Chuchu left Songzi Lane in the morning light.
The streets gradually became lively, with carriages and horses coming and going, and the shouts of vendors rising one after another. The prosperity of the capital city was unmatched by other places.
But Chuchu stood on the street, looking at the bustling crowd, and felt only sad and angry.
She must have been unlucky for eight lifetimes to have gotten into such trouble for no apparent reason.
No, she never seemed to have any luck since she was little. She was always the one who took the blame when others caused trouble, and she was the one who suffered when others encountered troubles...
Chu Chu shook off these bad things from her mind and walked into the crowd in the morning light.
The early morning on the Jinshui River is exceptionally deserted. The boats seem to have fallen into a deep sleep, lying motionless on the shore. Only the morning light casts ripples on the water surface, which are swayed by the wind and carry a heavy fragrance.
A bearded man quietly slipped out of Fufangban's flower boat and quickly disappeared into the small woods not far from the shore.
The bearded man walked around and met the man in a long gown in an abandoned house.
"How is it?"
The bearded man shook his head: "No, the fish wasn't hooked."
"Not hooked?" The man in the long gown was a little surprised. "How come?"
The man with the sideburns repeated what he had heard from Qingqing.
The man in the long gown raised his hand and rubbed his brow, his face darkening: "No."
"What's wrong?"
The man in the long gown looked at the man with the whiskers and asked, "Don't you think the Seventh Prince is too cold? If it were you, would you be so cold when you saw a woman who looked like the woman you loved? Would you even look at her being humiliated by another man without changing your expression?"
The man with the sideburns thought about it and nodded heavily: "That's not right. A man wouldn't be like this."
"There must be something wrong here." The man in the long gown thought of something and his expression suddenly changed. "Last night, that woman suddenly disappeared. Could it be that she found a way to contact the Seventh Prince, so the Seventh Prince knew about our plan?"
The man with the sideburns clapped his hands and said, "It's possible! Last night our people chased him to the Jinshui River and lost him, and the Seventh Prince happened to be there at the time."
“Damn it! We finally set up a plan for the Seventh Prince to meet Qingqing naturally, but it went wrong because of that woman!” The man in the long gown had a sinister look on his face.
"If that's the case, then isn't Qingqing a useless chess piece?"
The man in the long gown stood up and said, "No matter what, we must find the girl first, and this time we must find her alive. If she has not contacted the Seventh Prince, we can continue. If she has contacted him, we can make other plans."
The man in the long gown and the man with a beard walked through the courtyard overgrown with weeds and separated themselves.
At this time, the two of them did not notice that two young men with ordinary features were following them.
Yu Jin got the news quickly. He stood by the window on the second floor and pondered for a moment. He then told Leng Ying, "Don't make any surprises yet. Find their lair first."
It is necessary to uproot the weeds. If you dare to plot against him, you must be aware of the consequences.
Leng Ying clasped his fists and retreated quietly.
Around noon, Long Dan went upstairs and said, "Master, Miss Chuchu has been targeted."
The lobby downstairs was already full at this moment. Chuchu was leaning against the window, eating while looking around nervously.
She thought of Yu Jin's words: Why were you so panicked before? Please keep calm. Are you trying to tell the other party, "Come quickly, am I ambushing you?" with your nonchalant look?
Although she was despised, she felt that what the man said made some sense, but she was not very good at acting.
Will the other party take the bait?
Chu Chu was a little nervous. She suddenly caught a glimpse of two people out of the corner of her eye. Her heart was lifted up, but then dropped.
Here it comes!
She has become a frightened bird these days and is particularly sensitive to the aura of those people.
It's good that she's here. As long as that Mr. Yu can deal with the guy, she will be free.
For some reason, Chu Chu felt that there would be no problem with Yu Jin being able to resolve the issue.
I have to find a reason... A man who can accompany his fiancée who is dressed as a man to visit a brothel should not be bad, right?
People from two tables stood up quietly and approached Chu Chu without making any sound.
Chu Chu subconsciously tightened the teacup.
The lobby was bustling with activity, as diners were talking and laughing loudly, waiters were announcing the names of dishes, and there was also the faint sound of sizzling frying pans and scolding coming from the kitchen.
The two groups of people who quietly surrounded Chuchu looked at each other. The woman sitting by the window seemed to have become a prey under the claws, with nowhere to escape.
Haha, this woman thought that they wouldn't dare to attack her just because she found a busy and bustling bar? She was really naive.
Chuchu suddenly put the teacup on the table and ran away.
The two groups of people were stunned and immediately chased after him.
The bartender chased after him: "Hey, you haven't paid yet--"
As soon as Chu Chu ran outside the tavern, she was surrounded by several people and a fight quickly broke out between the two sides.
She had been chased for days and was injured. In addition, the enemy had more people than her, and she was soon at a disadvantage.
Although the security in the capital was acceptable, fights in the streets happened from time to time, and it was not uncommon for decent girls to be molested in broad daylight. Seeing this scene, some people hurriedly walked away to avoid getting into trouble, but more people quickly formed a circle to watch the excitement. A few people with conscience hurried to call the police.
"Master, is it time for us to take action? Miss Chuchu can no longer hold on."
Yu Jin shook his head: "No need, just let them succeed."
What?
Long Dan looked at Yu Jin in surprise.
My master, you are so shameless as to trick a grown girl into committing suicide. Is this appropriate?
Yu Jin leaned against the railing and watched the excitement calmly: "You haven't figured it out yet. The other side didn't kill me this time. They wanted to capture me alive."
"so what?"
Yu Jin looked at Long Dan as if he was an idiot and said, "So let Miss Chuchu be captured. This way we can follow the clues and find the real culprit."
Downstairs, Chu Chu cried out that she had failed, but no one came out until she was dragged away with her mouth covered.
She stared at the tavern with eyes wide open, with only one thought in her mind: She was so stupid, she should have known that it is better to trust a sow climbing a tree than to trust a man's broken mouth!
