Tang Chen said: "Leave it to the wet nurse. The two little guys are surrounded by secret guards, so there's no need to worry."
When the four people had packed up and took the silver and walked to the town from the small road, the peach blossoms everywhere in the town were truly beautiful. However, despite such a beautiful scenery, the residents of the town all frowned, as if they were on guard against someone.
Seeing this, Tang Chen suddenly didn't dare to speak loudly. He just whispered to everyone, "Do you feel that the atmosphere in the town is weird?"
Wang Ruo nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, let me go and ask an innocent passerby."
Several people stood by the roadside and watched Wang Ruo stop innocent passers-by on the street to ask about the situation. After a while, Wang Ruo clapped his hands and walked back.
The three of them asked in unison: "How is it?"
"Something strange has happened..."
After Wang Ruo informed the others of what she had learned, Tang Chen muttered to himself thoughtfully, "So, am I dreaming?"
Liang Shuyi said that she didn't quite understand what Tang Chen was saying: "Huh?"
Tang Chen explained: "Actually, recently when I was sleeping at night, I always felt that someone was wandering around in my room. Could it be..."
Wang Ruo immediately interjected, "A gentleman does not speak of strange things."
Tang Chen spread his hands and said, "Don't you think what you said is a little unconvincing?"
As an atheist, Wang Ruo said that gods and ghosts are impossible to exist, and if there is something fishy, it must be man-made: "The most effective way to prove the correctness of my words is to go to your house tonight."
Tang Chen said, what if it turns out to be a supernatural phenomenon? Should she start preparing to move, or should she first ask someone to find a reliable Feng Shui master to take a look? "I have no objection to that, but what if..."
"There's no such thing as a one-in-a-million chance. We agreed to come out to relax, so let's think about this matter at night. I brought some laborers with me," Wang Ruo said, pointing at Hua Wuxin who was standing aside and smiling silently.
Tang Chen heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, but I don't know if I can buy good jewelry recently."
As a normal woman who loves shopping, Wang Ruo had a clear purpose for this trip. Things are always going to be a work in progress, so if she had a chance to relax, she should seize the opportunity and enjoy it. "Although some people may feel anxious, as businesspeople, we won't miss any opportunity to make money. Let's go!"
After a bloody fight, Hua Wuxin, who was working as a coolie, finally spoke up after making sure that his mouth and neck were still free: "Madams, can we go back now?"
Wang Ruo came back to her senses and looked at Hua Wuxin, who was carrying all kinds of bags. Her smile gradually became distorted: "...No, you still have room on you. Otherwise, we can still get it ourselves, right, sisters!"
Hua Wuxin followed the three "crazy women" helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I should have called more people earlier."
A few people just came out of the jewelry store and happened to see Zhong Qin, the busy man in the valley: "Hey, look, isn't that Zhong Qin? I haven't seen him for a long time, let's go say hello."
Zhong Qin was busy gathering information from the people who had caused the loss. When she came to her senses, Tang Chen and the others had stood behind her without her knowing when. "Zhong Qin, why are you here?"
Zhong Qin nodded slightly to them and asked, "Are you three ladies out shopping?"
Tang Chen replied: "Yes, are you investigating what they are talking about?"
Zhong Qin said seriously, "Well, this matter has caused so much unrest. If we don't get to the bottom of it, it's really unsettling."
Liang Shuyi also said: "Yes, we finally won a victory, but our morale is almost worn out by this inexplicable time."
Seeing that it was getting late and that she still had several families to check with, Zhong Qin said, "It's getting late, and I have to continue looking for news. The three of you should go shopping for a while and then return home as soon as possible. If you stay out late, something unexpected might happen."
"Well, you too, be careful."
After Zhong Qin turned and left, the three women gathered in a circle and whispered, "Zhong Qin doesn't look very well."
Tang Chen sighed with some distress and said, "Ah, he's been so busy. Look at his panda eyes, they're even darker than mine. Shuyi, when Chen Xin comes back, ask him to bring some tonics to Zhong Qin. Although there are medicines in the barracks, I'm afraid there are no warming tonics."
Liang Shuyi replied, "Well, I'll remind him. It's getting late, and many shops are starting to close up. Let's go back."
Tang Chen looked at Hua Wuxin, who was hung up like a Christmas tree, and said with satisfaction: "We have achieved great results today!"
After returning to the palace, the four of them sent their belongings back and put them away before heading to Tang Chen's cliffside cottage. At nightfall, the four of them turned off the lights and hid on Tang Chen's bed, waiting for the midnight ghost to appear.
Hua Wuxin's ears twitched slightly, and he gently tugged at Wang Ruo's sleeve, signaling someone to enter the room. Just like the other times he'd come, the person headed to the area where various boxes were piled up. Just as he was about to rummage through something, Hua Wuxin rushed over like an arrow from a bow.
The man in black, realizing his whereabouts were exposed, didn't bother to fight with the others and rushed out desperately. Wang Ruo saw this, exchanged glances with Hua Wuxin, and then chased after him alone.
If Tang Chen had not asked the wet nurse to take the little one to stay with Xiao Shuang'er for the night, the baby would probably cry non-stop with the noise now.
Tang Chen, Liang Shuyi and Hua Wuxin, who stayed behind, waited in the house for a while, and then Wang Ruo came back sweating and panting.
Seeing this, Tang Chen poured her a glass of warm water before asking, "How's it going? Didn't you catch her?"
Wang Ruo shook her head. The technique didn't reveal any sect, suggesting he was a solitary figure. Aside from Li Xinzhai and Mo Yu, few could match his skill. "No, his skill is truly remarkable. If it's... well, there aren't many with such skill in the martial arts world. Let's check the black market, they should have some information."
Tang Chen frowned and said, "What on earth is this guy looking for? Why does he come here every now and then?"
Hua Wuxin suggested that instead of just daydreaming, they should actually look through the pieces. "See if there's anything missing. Let's go find the piece he just turned over."
"good."
After searching the room thoroughly, they didn't seem to find much. Wang Ruo immediately recognized the items the man in black was looking through as belonging to Wang Zhen. His intention was so obvious, could he be after something inside?
