Chapter 80: There is no money in the purse
In the dark room of the Number One Building Under Heaven, Xin Hongying sipped tea as she sat behind a folding screen, a cold aura emanating from her body. "Who is behind Manhua Tower?"
The official owner of Tianxia Diyi Lou said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I don't know either, but all the people sent out to act as spies in Manhua Lou have been eliminated recently. No one survived."
"What a coincidence." Xin Hongying said lightly, but a few drops of cold sweat appeared on the owner's forehead.
"Don't any of you suspect that there's something wrong here?" Xin Hongying's voice was low and his eyes dimmed. He suspected that something was wrong with Manhualou.
"Continue to place people there and find out if there are other people behind the scenes interfering with the results."
The host said, “Yes.”
Chef Miao actually won, so there is one less opportunity for a breakthrough.
Shen Tingyu also felt it was a bit strange, but the most important thing at the moment was to learn the whereabouts of Wu Nixiang from Chef Miao.
Shen Tingyu: "Why not go again and test Fang Niang to see if she knows anything."
Xin Hongying nodded.
That day they came again with the good medicine. Chef Miao won the prize and was currently on duty at Manhua Tower and not at home.
Xin Hongying came to visit Fang Niang alone. In order to avoid rumors, he asked the doctor from last time to accompany him to visit Fang Niang.
The gate to the courtyard during the day was opened.
Fangniang was sitting in the yard doing some needlework and basking in the sun. The two sisters were picking beans and chatting beside her.
"Master Kang, why are you here? Brother Miao is not here today."
Miss Yi Han had sharp eyes, and a strange look flashed across her eyes. She stopped what she was doing and stood up.
Xin Hongying pretended to be surprised, a hint of regret in her cold eyes. "He's not here, what a coincidence. I came here today to congratulate him on his victory. His "Dragon Entering the Sea" dish is well-known in Yunzhou City."
Fang Niang was very happy and coughed lightly: "He has been stubborn since he was a child and has few friends in Yunzhou City. If he knew, he would definitely be very happy."
"We're planning a dinner party today to celebrate. It's a good opportunity for Master Kang to come, too. We can all have some fun together. It's been a while since we've had something this lively."
"Doctor, come along too. Thanks to your prescription."
"I have something else tonight and can't come. Thank you, Madam Fang, for inviting me." Xin Hongying put down the medicine bag and the gift. "This is the medicine I got from the pharmacy according to the prescription."
Asking the doctor to come to her home again and again to treat her body is too much.
Fang Niang looked puzzled, "Master Kang, is this...something you want to ask for?"
"Exactly." Xin Hongying nodded. "I want to ask you some questions."
"Come to me!" Fang Niang was surprised. "Whatever questions Mr. Kang wants to ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Xin Hongying glanced at the two girls in silence.
Fang Niang put down the needle and thread in her hand and pushed herself up. "Come with me."
Looking at their backs, the two girls looked at each other and exchanged glances quickly.
Miss Bai Feng's voice was cold. She rubbed her brows and said tiredly, "Think of a way, find an opportunity to investigate. He has the heaviest evil spirit I've ever seen. Even the killer's evil spirit is not as strong as his."
Miss Yihan's eyes fell on the purse on Xin Hongying's waist: "Don't you think his purse is bulging a bit? Logically speaking, such a bulging purse should be very heavy."
"But look at the rope tied around his waist. The tension is obviously wrong."
"I hadn't noticed that."
"But I guess... he's here to test the Golden Flame Resurrection Grass again."
Miss Bai Feng lazily curled her narrow eyes and said in a cold and weak voice, "It's a pity that Sister Xiaofang doesn't know anything. Brother Miao is very tight-lipped."
"All this hard work won't be in vain." Miss Yi Han picked the beans vigorously, as if venting her anger, "Just be patient and wait..."
Miss Bai Feng raised her head and looked outside the courtyard. "I have a feeling that we won't be able to stay in Yunzhou City for long. We need to think of a solution quickly..."
With a creak, the closed door opened again.
Xin Hongying was a little disappointed. Fang Niang knew nothing about it, and today's trip was in vain.
"Sister Xiaofang." Miss Yi Han turned around suddenly and pretended not to see him. Her speed was so fast that Xin Hongying could not dodge in time, and she hit Xin Hongying's waist at a precise angle.
Two white fingers stretched in, and Shen Tingyu felt as if she was touched from top to bottom, and someone was taking advantage of her.
Suddenly, I got goosebumps all over my body.
Weird! It feels soft, but there's no money in the purse?
Miss Yi Han was just thinking about it when her wrist was pinched with great force. The force was so strong that her bones hurt and her face changed with pain.
"What are you doing?" Xin Hongying suddenly grabbed Miss Yi Han's wrist with a fierce look in his eyes.
It was discovered!
Miss Bai Feng was startled and rushed forward. She put her five fingers together like a blade and cut open his tightly clenched hand. Her voice was quick and cold: "Let go."
Xin Hongying loosened his grip with a slight movement of his fingers and sneered, "You know martial arts, and I thought you were so powerful. Why don't you continue to hide?"
Miss Yi Han's wrist was covered in bruises, with five distinct fingerprints. She gasped in pain, hissed, and a tear squeezed out of the corner of her eye.
It hurts so much! This man is so strong! He's also a martial artist.
She glared at him angrily: "Why did you suddenly attack me?"
Everything happened so quickly that Fang Niang couldn't see clearly. She only saw that they seemed to be fighting. She was anxious and said, "Ahem... What's going on? What happened? Why are they fighting?"
He was so frightened that he started coughing violently.
There was a hint of anger and fear in Xin Hongying's eyes. He quickly opened the purse and carefully held it in his hands to examine it carefully. "Are you okay?"
Shen Tingyu turned his back on everyone, his eyes rolling around, winking at him quietly, mouthing words, indicating that he was fine, "Don't think of killing them, don't kill them! Don't kill people indiscriminately!"
Xin Hongying finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes still fierce. "Don't you deserve an explanation? Why did you touch my purse? Otherwise, I'll take you to the authorities immediately."
Miss Yi Han looked down at the doll in his hand, her pupils contracted violently, and she could no longer hear what he was asking her.
There was actually a rag doll in the purse, and a thought flashed through his mind.
baby……!
Could it be... the doll she had seen before?
They couldn't see the officials. Their identities couldn't be exposed, and they unexpectedly ran into a tough guy.
Miss Bai Feng stopped in front of her, her face looking a little grim: "Sister Han didn't mean it, it was just an accident. I can apologize to you on her behalf."
Fang Niang was completely bewildered, but she still tried her best to smooth things over. "Ahem... Master Kang, it's all just a misunderstanding. Why bother bringing it to the authorities?"
