Chapter 71 Daydreaming You're not thinking of stealing the book, are you...?
Fu Yun's expression suddenly changed. He abruptly stood up from his chair, ignoring Ye Lan and Qian Qingling's reactions, and hurriedly walked towards the door.
Seeing the usually calm, composed, and strategic Young Master Su showing such urgency for the first time, Ye Lan and Qian Qingling exchanged a glance before quickly getting up and following him.
Fu Yun flung open the door and asked urgently, "What happened at Qingming Pavilion?"
The guards standing outside the door were stunned when they saw Fu Jun's face as the person who opened the door. They stared blankly at his face without giving a response.
Seeing the person blocking the doorway standing there stunned and not responding, Fu Yun's expression grew even more anxious: "Please answer me, what exactly happened at Qingming Pavilion?"
The guard was still in a daze. In her eyes, Fu Yun was dressed in a green robe like bamboo, elegant and refined, with graceful demeanor, jade-like beauty, and unparalleled charm. The belt around his waist made him look even more like a gentleman, and the belt made him look dignified.
At this moment, the young master before her, who seemed like an immortal, seemed to have slowed down and become silent, turning into a beautiful and captivating painting that slowly unfolded before her.
"uh-huh!"
Qian Qingling coughed lightly, her face showing displeasure, and said, "I'm asking you a question. What are you standing there for?"
"Ah?" The guard standing at the door snapped out of his daze and, like a startled rabbit, retreated to the side in a fluster. He lowered his head and replied, "Reporting to the general, a group of masked men with knives suddenly broke into Qingming Pavilion and caused trouble. They not only scared away the guests, but also took Young Master Cheng and Young Master Lu away."
Fu Yun's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused: If the goal was to capture Cheng Jincheng, then why take Lu Zhisheng away as well? If the target was Lu Zhisheng, then why take Cheng Jincheng away as well? They had only met for the first time today, and there was no connection between them.
"What?" Ye Lan's face suddenly darkened. She bypassed Fu Yun, stood in front of the guard, grabbed his collar, and said sternly, "Didn't I send Lin Zuoling to guard there? Why did this accident happen?"
Seeing this, Qian Qingling quickly grabbed Ye Lan's wrist: "Calm down!"
While stopping Ye Lan from losing her temper, she looked at her in surprise: "Old Ye, what's wrong with you? This impatience is not like you."
Fu Yun was even more certain that Ye Lan's feelings for Lu Zhisheng were extraordinary and definitely not just ordinary friendship, given how easily Ye Lan lost her composure regarding Lu Zhisheng.
Hearing Qian Qingling's surprised question, Ye Lan loosened his grip, his eyes filled with a chilling pressure: "What exactly happened? Tell me everything."
"Yes!" the guard replied respectfully. "At that time, there were sudden disturbances of varying degrees in front of several shops on the street, and there were several cases of intentional knife attacks. Lin Zuoling had to divide his men into several teams to deal with these emergencies."
Fu Yun immediately understood: "A feint to the east while attacking in the west."
It seems someone deliberately sabotaged the store's opening day, and the person they wanted to target was none other than Fu Jun.
Ye Lan, her face grim and her expression solemn, hurried forward: "Let's go, let's go to the shop immediately and see what's going on."
Fu Yun quickened her pace silently, striding closely behind Ye Lan, hoping to arrive at the shop with Ye Lan as soon as possible.
However, Ye Lan, Qian Qingling, and the other guards were all skilled fighters. Compared to Su Fuyun's frail body, their physical strength was like that of a tiger and a sick cat. Before long, Fuyun was left far behind them.
Seeing this, Qian Qingling stopped and looked back, clearly intending to wait for Fu Yun in place.
Fu Yun was already running until her throat was sore, she was having difficulty breathing, and she was panting heavily.
He only regretted not having wings, because he couldn't increase his speed no matter what he did.
As a man who stands tall and upright, he certainly cannot lose face in front of a woman.
He was panting heavily, and waved his hand with difficulty: "You...go ahead...don't...worry about me, I'll be there soon..."
Qian Qingling felt a pang of pity, but she also knew that Young Master Su was a stubborn person who didn't like to show weakness in front of others.
Not wanting to offend Fu Jun, she had no choice but to steel herself, turn her gaze away, and chase after Ye Lan again.
Apart from Fu Yun, the others walked quickly towards Qingming Pavilion, and in no time they could be seen only by their backs.
Fu Yun sighed inwardly, finally deciding not to push herself any further. She slowed down her running to catch her breath, and her dry, burning throat finally felt a little better.
It seems that the intensity and difficulty of fitness training need to be increased, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to get back to a normal male physique.
On her way to Qingming Pavilion, Qian Qingling did not forget to ask the guard who brought the news: "When Young Master Cheng and Young Master Lu were taken away, did you send anyone to track down those villains?"
Although the guards were quite skilled, it was still difficult for them to keep up with Ye Lan and Qian Qingling's pace, and they were all breathing heavily and panting.
The guard who delivered the message took a few breaths before answering, his breathing slightly disordered: "After the incident, Commander Lin immediately dispatched two Imperial Guards to track down the villains, but we don't know if they found their hideout."
"However, the people we sent to investigate should bring back a response soon."
Qian Qingling fell silent upon hearing this, and subconsciously glanced at Ye Lan. Seeing that her expression was even more gloomy, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
What exactly happened? Why is Ye Lan's mood fluctuating so much?
Her behavior today was particularly unusual. She is usually calm and composed in the face of adversity and rarely appears so agitated in front of others.
Who exactly is it that she cares about so much, to the point that she almost lost her rational judgment?
Could it be because of something concerning the people around Su Xiaolangjun that he is paying extra attention?
Could she have fallen for Su Xiaolangjun? After all, Su Xiaolangjun is so outstanding.
Thinking of this, Qian Qingling became somewhat impatient. She slapped Ye Lan on the shoulder and said in a slightly cold tone, "Old Ye, you wouldn't be thinking of taking away what this general loves, would you?"
"What?" Ye Lan, who had been eagerly scanning the area around the shop, paused, glancing at Qian Qingling with a puzzled look. "What do you mean by that?"
Qian Qingling bluntly asked, "You're so concerned about Su Xiaolangjun's affairs, isn't it because you've taken a liking to him?"
Ye Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking that Qian Qingling was insane and beyond saving.
"What are you thinking? How could I possibly try to steal someone from you?"
Qian Qingling retorted, not to be outdone: "Then tell me, why were you so impulsive just now?"
"I was worried about Lu..." Ye Lan stopped abruptly, her expression suddenly turning somewhat annoyed: "Why should I explain this to you? Anyway, it has nothing to do with your beloved Young Master Su."
Qian Qingling's eyes flashed, a hint of surprise igniting within them: "Young Master Lu? Could it be that you..."
"Alright, stop overthinking, let's get down to business."
Ye Lan interrupted Qian Qingling directly, ignoring her completely. She stepped into the shop, shifting her gaze from the crowd of onlookers to the tables and chairs lying on the floor inside. Her sharp eyes flashed with a cold, piercing light once again.
Those people were clearly prepared. They deliberately took advantage of Young Master Su's absence to send some thugs to cause trouble and disrupt the shop's business on its first day of opening.
To bring bad luck to people upon opening a business is nothing short of malicious.
Ye Lan glanced coldly at the teacups scattered on the counter, not yet put back in their place, and coldly reminded him, "Old Qian, have your people tidy up the scattered tables and chairs around here."
Upon hearing this, Qian Qingling immediately ordered, "Xiao Jing, you guys quickly clean this place up, so that Su Xiaolangjun won't feel uncomfortable when he arrives."
"yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the guards immediately and efficiently began to tidy up.
When Fu Yun arrived at the entrance of Qingming Pavilion, she was almost out of breath from exhaustion.
It took me a while to calm down and catch my breath.
"So? Do you know where Lu Zhisheng and the others were taken?"
