The more Lin Liansheng listened, the more he felt that Ke Xi was terrifying.
He asked, "He has harmed so many people, can't he be arrested?"
"Arresting someone requires evidence. Ke Xi is very clever. He has completely erased the evidence, so we can't catch him for now. However, the Queen has already set her sights on him. He won't be able to stay alive for long. I'm just afraid that he might become desperate and hurt you, so you must be careful."
Lin Liansheng nodded solemnly.

Late at night, in the Shen residence, the candlelight on the desk illuminated two figures. One of them was Shen Chaomu, dressed in black, and the other was completely shrouded in a black cloak, wrapped tightly. His face was covered by a black hood, making it impossible to see his specific appearance.
He spoke, and it seemed to be a male voice, the voice was rough, as if it had been rubbed by sand, and a little harsh: "Chen Chaomu, how are your arrangements going?"
Shen Chaomu bowed his head and said respectfully, "My Lord, it will be soon."
"Just remember it. If you delay any longer, I will lose my patience and you will gain nothing."
"Yes. Shen understands."
Only after the black figure left did Shen Chaomu return to his room.
When she opened the door, she saw the green figure reading a book in the candlelight, which vaguely overlapped with the haunting figure in her memory, and she unconsciously showed a gentle look.
"You're back?" Perhaps hearing the sound, the man looked up and smiled, which immediately brought Shen Chaomu back to his senses, and the tenderness in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
Yi Qian was delighted when he saw Shen Chaomu's gentleness just now. He knew that Shen Chaomu was a person who liked reading. Every time she saw him reading, her eyes were always gentle.
Although he didn't like reading, since Shen Chaomu liked it, it was okay for him to take a look.
Speaking of which, they have been married for some time, and Shen Chaomu has always been very close to him. The maids and servants around him all say that Shen Chaomu likes him very much.
Yi Qian thought so too, but he always felt that something was missing.
However, Yi Qian no longer had time to think about these things. Shen Chaomu pulled him to the bed and opened his clothes.
Once the lovemaking was over, Yi Qian fell asleep.
Shen Chaomu touched Yi Qian's face beside him, his clear eyes slightly dazed, and he murmured, "Brother Xiuyuan."
Yi Qian seemed to hear an unfamiliar name in his sleep, but he was too tired and fell into a deep sleep before he had time to think about it.
-
The next day, Yi Qian woke up and found that Chen Chao was gone.
He covered his forehead, vaguely recalling the name he heard last night. Was it an auditory hallucination? But he had heard it many times during this period, especially after he and Shen Chaomu did that thing.
In fact, Yi Qian’s sleep quality is not very good.
When he falls into deep sleep, he will have a long period of light sleep, and on the surface, others will only think that he is sleeping soundly.
If it happened once or twice, he might have thought it was hallucination, but now it has happened so many times...
Brother Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan?
Yi Qian frowned slightly, feeling a little annoyed. This was obviously a man's name.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable if his wife called out the name of another man after having sex with her.
After getting out of bed and putting on his clothes, Yi Qian called the servant.
"Go check and see if there's anyone named Xiuyuan who knows the Patriarch."
As the doted young master of the Shangshu Mansion, his mother and sister gave him some useful people before he got married.
