After boarding the carriage and starting to walk down the mountain, Xiao Han finally spoke: "Fortunately, I had someone follow me today, and thanks to Wan Qiqi's secret guards for their help, otherwise... Minmin, be careful in the future, don't let your father worry."
“Alright!” Madam Xiao replied, bowing her head.
Wan Qiqi didn't frown slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, she is your wife, aren't you worried?"
"Of course I'm worried!" Xiao Han replied quickly.
Then, he paused for a moment, "Wan Qiqi, do you have any clues about what happened today?"
"No, but I met a strange person behind the temple. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old and was dressed in unusual clothes. I wonder if he has anything to do with this!"
Wan Qiqi felt that instead of investigating that boy, she should let the Xiao family investigate.
The Xiao family should be able to find out more.
As for the pattern on the assassin's body, she believed that Xiao Han's men should be able to spot it, so she didn't need to point it out herself.
"A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old?" Xiao Han frowned as he finished speaking, seemingly searching his memory for this person.
He didn't say anything for a long time.
Upon hearing Wan Qiqi's words, Madam Xiao immediately asked with concern, "Why did you go to the back mountain? It's dangerous for you to go out by yourself."
"Sister, don't worry. The young master said that my guards are very skilled. I'll be fine!"

"Why? Has something happened in the capital?" Madam Xiao's eyes trembled, her expression revealing panic.
"It's not the capital, but perhaps this small Yunhe County. Some people who shouldn't have come have arrived!"
As Xiao Han spoke, his eyes grew even colder. "I will have the steward strengthen the security of the manor."
"Alright! Should we also send someone to protect Qiqi?" Madam Xiao asked uncertainly.
"No need. Although she faces danger at every turn, she has people helping her at every turn. We don't need to interfere. Besides, with her intelligence, she should be able to find clues soon."
"This is the first time I've ever heard you praise someone from such a background!"
"Is that so?" Xiao Han was taken aback and shook his head. "Perhaps, as my third and fourth brothers said, this person is different!"
