When I arrived at the room where Shen Mubai lived, I found that the lights were off, so I had to turn around and go back.

When I returned to the room where they lived, I found Wen Jingchi reading a letter. The letter was full of words, and the words were quite small.

Chu Weiyue frowned slightly: "It's so late, you haven't finished your work yet?"

She moved closer to Wen Jingchi and placed the midnight snack in front of him.

I thought Wen Jingchi would be happy to see the midnight snack, but who would have thought that he didn't even look at it.

"I'm still busy now, you can eat first, I'm not hungry now."

"I'm full. This is specially prepared for you. Since you don't want to eat it, you can eat it later."

She moved a stool, sat next to Wen Jingchi, and tried to hold his arm.

But for some reason, the man was very cold to her.

Chu Weiyue rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction. She knew that men's minds were smaller than a needle tip, and he must be ignoring her because of jealousy.

Chu Weiyue also got angry: "Whether you want to eat or not, I don't care about you. I'm going to sleep first."

He yawned and stretched comfortably.

Wen Jingchi didn't look hungry. He was a grown-up, and if he was hungry he would definitely go eat by himself, so no one paid any attention to him.

When I got back to **, I almost fell asleep.

After taking a look at Chu Weiyue who was soundly sleeping, Wen Jingchi's face became somewhat dark.

He was very hungry and wanted to eat something, but Chu Weiyue's words made him lose his appetite instantly.

When I thought about how she wasn't even willing to say a single nice word, my resentment reached its peak.

He simply threw the midnight snack aside, washed up, and fell asleep on the bed, deliberately turning his back to her.

Although this restaurant is very luxurious, it has fallen into disrepair and is infested with rats.

At night, mice in the wild quietly sneaked into the room.

Smelling the aroma of the buns, I climbed up and started to taste them.

After taking a bite, he found that the taste was wrong, and his whole body began to twitch, making a squeaking sound.

Chu Weiyue frowned depressedly: "Stop making trouble!"

She grumbled helplessly and kicked Wen Jingchi, instinctively thinking that he was joking with her.

Wen Jingchi was a light sleeper. He immediately sat up, lit the oil lamp, and saw that the mouse had died after eating the buns.

Black blood was flowing from his nose, ears and mouth.

This scene shocked Wen Jingchi, and he immediately ran over to wake Chu Weiyue up.

Chu Weiyue got up and complained angrily: "What are you doing? You woke me up suddenly. What happened?"

"Look what's there."

Wen Jingchi grabbed Chu Weiyue's arm and pointed to the body of the dead rat?

Chu Weiyue jumped up and down in fright and hid directly behind Wen Jingchi's shoulder.

"Please take it away. It's so scary."

Her voice was tearful. She was not afraid of anything except mice!

Wen Jingchi couldn't help but sneered coldly: "With just this little courage, you actually dare to bar your teeth and claws to cut others into pieces. I think it's better for others to chop you into dumpling stuffing first."

There was a hint of disdain and obvious sarcasm in his voice.

Chu Weiyue was so angry with him that she punched him hard in the chest.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm very brave, okay? I'm not afraid at all. It's just a dead mouse."

Chu Weiyue deliberately put on courage, raised his head and pretended that he was not really afraid.

After taking one look at the mouse, he subconsciously slumped down in the bed.

"The rat seems to have been poisoned! These steamed buns and porridge are poisonous."

Chu Weiyue widened her eyes in shock, and then seemed to remember something.

"I got this from the kitchen. The man was very strange. He seemed to know that I was coming for a midnight snack, so he gave it to me directly."

"Do you remember what he looks like?"

"I remember that he looked quite special. I could remember him at first sight..."

Chu Weiyue described the man's voice, appearance, and everything else.

Wen Jingchi laughed extremely coldly: "It seems that they are in the same group as the previous group of people. I didn't expect them to be so persistent. It seems that the account book will definitely bring a huge shock."

He himself could foresee that once the account book was handed over to the emperor, more people would die, so now some people were impatient to get the account book in his hands.

"These people have attacked us time and time again. I don't think they will stop so soon. We might as well think of another way."

Wen Jingchi raised his lips in an unfathomable way: "There is a solution! Tell everyone right away that I became seriously ill after having the midnight snack. Now I have lost all consciousness and need to find a doctor to treat me."

Hearing this, Chu Weiyue immediately clapped his hands in approval.

"This is a really good idea. They won't know whether it's true or not, so they will definitely come to check it out. Once they come, we can catch them and trap them in a trap."

Chu Weiyue unconsciously repeated Wen Jingchi's subsequent plans.

Wen Jingchi then gave her a good look and reached out to tap her on the head.

"I didn't expect you to be stupid. This time we have a tough battle to fight. You go to another room and I'll sleep here. I don't believe this person has a chance to escape!"

In order to make the acting more realistic, Wen Jingchi lay directly on the bed, pretending to be really terminally ill and about to die!

Shen Mubai was taking the patient's pulse and sighing, as if everything had come to a dead end.

They knew very well that the secret sentry must be nearby observing everything, so they had to act realistically.

Chu Weiyue clapped her hands and said, "Your idea is good. Okay, let's do as you say."

Afterwards, Chu Weiyue sent the message out.

At night, a group of guards lay in ambush in the room, motionless.

In the second half of the night, I heard a rustling sound coming from outside.

Chu Weiyue showed a smug smile, the big fish was really about to take the bait!

The man came in cautiously from outside, looked around for a while before coming to the side of Wen Jingchi and trying to feel his pulse.

At this moment, the guards nearby rushed out instantly.

Seeing this scene, the man was instantly frightened and tried to run away.

But Wen Jingchi suddenly sat up and kicked him to the ground, and the other guards caught him.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

Wen Jingchi came to his side, his eyes dark and cold.

The man bit his lip, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

"You have fallen into my hands. If you don't tell me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?"

Wen Jingchi took out his sword and stroked it gently, which seemed very intimidating.

The man was so scared that he was shaking all over: "Don't... don't kill me, I said, it was Wen Chenxuan who asked me to come."

Wen Jingchi was not surprised at all when he heard the words Wen Chenxuan.

"So, the previous times were also his doing?"

"Yes, it is indeed the work of Wen Chenxuan..."

He told everything he knew, just asking for his life.
