"Anything else?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"Nothing else." The officer said.
"You are not careful at all!" The middle-aged man scolded and went to the room himself. But when he entered, he was shocked to find that it was empty.
A trace of doubt flashed through his eyes as he turned around and walked out.
"Finally, there is a clue!" Another man who looked quite dignified was giving out orders. "Chase! And the messenger who said that this is the hiding place of the Spirit Cat Nine Steps. Capture him and interrogate him as well. Do not let go of any clues! "
This person was called Sun Xiang, one of the famous officers of the Wind Cave School.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Sun Xiang is right. Do not let any of them go."
Everyone agreed in unison.
"Sir, the intentions of the messenger are unpredictable. Don't trust him so easily!" A man with a mustache and a towering figure beside the middle-aged man said.
If this man with a mustache were to walk on the street, he would be greeted by countless people. He was the most famous officer in the Wind Cave School, Xia Houzun.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed and said, "Running around in the middle of the night. Even if he is not the Spirit Cat Nine Steps, he is definitely not a law-abiding citizen. Capture him and interrogate him!"
"And that woman!" He suddenly turned to Liu Letian, "I'll leave her to you, Liu Letian. Bring her back and interrogate her!"
"Yes." Liu Letian hurried to agree.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and led his men to chase after them.
Only Liu Letian and Boss Gu were left in the backyard of the casino.
"Are you going to interrogate me?" Boss Gu stared at Liu Letian without blinking.
Liu Letian thought about it and said, "I believe you are not a bad person. May I ask where you live? I will send you back."
"No." Boss Gu said seriously.
Liu Letian was startled and forced a smile, "I am a public servant. How could I have any improper thoughts? You do not need to worry."
Boss Gu chuckled, "That person just now must be someone who can order you around."
"Are you talking about the leader?" Liu Letian did not understand.
"Is he called the leader?" Boss Gu said, "What a strange name."
"No, he's not called Manor Lord." Liu Letian couldn't help smiling bitterly, "Don't you know the meaning of Mansion Master? He's the Mansion Master of the Wind Cave Mansion, an official title."
"Oh." Big Boss Gu thought about it. "I don't understand. Anyway, you can't disobey his orders, or the consequences will be dire."
"Yes," Liu Letian said.
"Then how can you disobey orders?" Big Boss Gu said, "Hurry up and capture me and bring me back to interrogate me. Otherwise, if your Manor Lord gets angry, you'll be in trouble."
"This …" Liu Letian was touched, but he suddenly thought of something. This silly girl might not know what 'interrogation' was.
"Are you afraid of pain?" he asked.
"Scared, very scared." Big Boss Gu touched the wound on his neck with lingering fear.
"Torture will be very painful." Liu Letian deliberately teased her.
Big Boss Gu's beautiful face immediately paled, "Really, really … I … I … I'm afraid of pain …"
She looked at Liu Letian pitifully. "I don't want to interrogate you anymore. Let me go!"
"But aren't you worried that I'll be scolded by the Manor Lord?" Liu Letian tried to hold back his laughter.
"Yes, you'll be scolded." Big Boss Gu said dejectedly. Then she asked again pitifully, "Then, will you be gentler?"
"I promise I'll be very gentle." Liu Letian smiled.
"Then, then alright …" Big Boss Gu finished speaking, then suddenly smiled mischievously. "But you have to promise me something."
"What is it?" Liu Letian asked.
"Hug me, hug me again. I like being hugged by you." Big Boss Gu said coquettishly.
Liu Letian's face instantly turned red.
…
Yan Li turned out of a narrow alley and stopped at the side. He leaned against the wall and listened attentively. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
He slowly exhaled, identified the direction, and walked towards one of the alleys. After turning three to five times and seeing that there was no one nearby, he stopped at a corner and carefully replayed the events of the day.
Suddenly, his expression changed. He touched his chest and felt that the Dragon God Ring was still there. He immediately let out a sigh of relief. He could throw away anything but the Dragon God Ring.
He fell into deep thought again.
But the more he thought, the more confused the clues became. Although he was eighty percent sure of some things, he was still missing the core of what "they" were doing.
What was their motive?
Gradually, he turned his thoughts to the "shocking case" that the Dragon Emperor Manor was investigating.
Who else in the Wind Cave Manor could give him an answer?
His gaze swept around, and his eyes suddenly lit up. There was a unique shop by the lake, with a plaque that read "Lianhai Bank".
He snuck into the backyard of the bank and heard a few even breathing sounds. They should all be asleep.
He identified the bedrooms and walked to the master bedroom. He raised his hand and knocked hard on the door. "Wake up, shopkeeper! There's a fire! Wake up! "
"There's a fire?" A squeal like a pig being slaughtered came from inside. "What are you waiting for? Go put out the fire!"
Yan Li walked slowly to the courtyard and waited quietly.
Not long after, the door to the master bedroom opened with a bang. The old shopkeeper put on his clothes and ran out. The courtyard was quiet. He couldn't even see the light of a candle, let alone a fire.
Then, under the moonlight, he saw the man in the bamboo hat standing in the courtyard. His whole body trembled. "Who, who are you …"
In his subconscious, he thought that they must have foiled Yan Li's robbery plan, so they came to take revenge in the middle of the night.
"May I ask where I can meet the young master of your manor, Lianhai Qingshan?" Yan Li asked politely.
The old shopkeeper was scared out of his wits. He looked at Yan Li in a daze. "Who, who are you? Why do you want to meet the young Lord?"
Yan Li smiled. "You don't need to know who I am. You just need to tell your young Lord that the person recommended by Liumu Bingjian is here and wants to meet him. He has something important to ask."
"The young Lord's whereabouts are uncertain. He will only appear when Jixia Academy opens." Hearing the name Liumu Bingjian, the old shopkeeper gradually calmed down. "But if you have something important to ask, I can bring you to see the manager of the manor in the Wind Cave Abode, Lady Changjin."
"Oh?" This time, it was Yan Li's turn to be stunned. "Lady Changjin is Lianhai Zhangjin?"
"Yes, sir. Do you know the manager?" The old shopkeeper was shocked.
Yan Li smiled slowly. "Not only do I know him, he will probably cry when he sees me."
"Is, is that so …" The old shopkeeper gave a hollow laugh and said without commenting, "Then please follow me, Your Excellency."
