The four men who were caught were dejectedly squatting in the corner.
Lin Mengya looked at the four obedient quails in the corner and felt a little uncomfortable.
Huh? Could it be that her Baisu was so cruel that she treated humans as her prey?
While her mind was thinking about random things, she saw Li Wu Shuang walking in behind Baisu.
Li Wu Shuang's face was red, and a few strands of hair were wet and stuck to his face. He looked like he had just soaked in hot water.
Not only that, Bai Su also used one of her hands to support him, making Li Wu Shuang look very weak and powerless.
She looked at the four men, and then looked at Baisu's situation.
Oh, so it was like this!
The cold Queen Baisu was extremely lethal.
She didn't even need to threaten the four guys with words.
She glanced at them coldly, and suddenly, the four of them didn't dare to move, fearing that they would be beaten up again.
After warning the four, Baisu and Lin Mengya exchanged glances.
It seemed that they had something to talk about.
Lin Mengya calmly returned to the room by following the original path.
Not long after, Baisu and Li Wu Shuang, who had changed his clothes, found her.
Lin Mengya was sitting by the window, watching the four men's performance.
"Master, Wushuang has something to tell you." Baisu's voice came from behind.
Lin Mengya turned around and pointed outside the window.
"Is it about them?"
"Yes, that's right."
With Baisu's help, Li Wu Shuang sat opposite to Lin Mengya.
Until now, his legs were still weak, and his muscles were involuntarily trembling.
This was a sign of serious physical exhaustion, and it was enough to show that he had risked his life to run.
"These four men have been investigating the situation of the houses on the hillside outside. I was just chasing after them, and was accidentally discovered. They wanted to kill me, and they even wanted to find my companions and get rid of them together."
At that time, he didn't think so.
Thinking back, the more he thought about it, the more dangerous it was.
If he hadn't had an idea to run to the city, or if he had hesitated for a moment when he passed by his own tent …
In short, it was extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to run into Baisu at the most critical moment and saved his life.
"Are you talking about the hillside outside the city?" Lin Mengya asked.
Li Wu Shuang nodded.
This matter was indeed a little strange.
Based on her observation just now, although the four of them were afraid of Baisu, they were actually not anxious.
They seemed to have something to rely on. No matter what, Baisu would spare their lives.
"Interesting," Lin Mengya said with a smile.
"Alright, leave these four to us. You can sneak back first. By the way, if you need anything, remember to tell Baisu and ask her to prepare it for you. "
Although he was still a little worried, Li Wu Shuang understood that Lin Mengya, who was in the city, had better conditions than them.
Moreover, he had suffered at the hands of the woman in front of him.
Falling into her hands was the unluckiest thing about the four of them.
Lin Mengya also wanted to leave enough time for the young couple to confide in each other.
She ordered a cup of tea and lazily leaned against the side of the bed, admiring the sunset outside.
When the last ray of light disappeared, the deep twilight gradually became more intense.
The night quietly shrouded the world.
There was no light in her room.
So she could clearly see the situation downstairs, but downstairs, she couldn't be seen at all.
The four of them must have been tied up until their hands and feet were numb.
They didn't move before because they were afraid of attracting the attention of that fierce woman.
But it had already been two hours, and no one came to them. So the four of them, under the cover of the night, quietly got up and moved their numb hands and feet.
On the windowsill, Lin Mengya was like a night cat, vigilantly and quietly watching the movements of her prey.
Because there were many people in the family, Uncle Huo was rich enough to book the entire backyard of the inn.
The back door was locked, so the four of them didn't dare to make too much noise.
When they took turns trying to open the back door lock, Lin Mengya saw one of them untie something from his neck and put it next to his lips.
"Squeak —"
The sound was very sharp, but also very short.
So most people thought they heard it wrong and didn't pay much attention to it.
Lin Mengya, who was leaning against the window, frowned slightly.
The sound made her sensitive hearing a little uncomfortable.
But soon, a petite figure flew in under the cover of the night.
She narrowed her eyes.
If she wasn't wrong, that thing looked like a half-sized bat.
The bat circled a few times and finally landed on the person who blew the whistle.
After a while, the bat spread its wings again and left.
Lin Mengya's hand knocked on the window.
Then, there was another subtle knocking sound, as if it was responding to her.
Not long after, two ghostly figures jumped over the wall and landed.
But to Lin Mengya's surprise, they didn't take any revenge. Instead, they just carried two people and quietly returned according to the original path.
The footsteps disappeared quickly.
Therefore, the sound and the bat should be the emergency communication method used by the four of them for help.
As for the two people who rescued them, their duty should be to protect the four of them.
This meant that the other party could attack the isolated aristocratic families outside, but not the people in the city.
But the only difference between them was that one of them slept outside the city, while the other stayed in an inn in the city.
Other than that, there was also the difference in power and wealth between the two aristocratic families.
If this was the reason why the two parties were treated differently, then it meant that the four of them knew the situation inside and outside the city like the back of their hands.
But if it was just a spur of the moment idea, there was no way they could get such detailed information.
So there was only one answer — they were a powerful organization in Yuehu City, and it was very likely that they belonged to the power or family in charge of Yuehu City.
She stood up, took out a match, waved it, and blew on it, then finally lit the candle on the table.
She still didn't know the real situation in Yuehu City, but for now, it was indeed more complicated.
If the four of them were acting on someone's orders, then whether it was the families in or outside the city, she was afraid that it would be much more dangerous.
It seemed that she had to hurry.
.....
The two babies were taken away by Aunt Fang.
It wasn't until both of them fell asleep that Aunt Fang and Aunt Lan carried them to her room.
Little Fubao was already sleeping soundly in Aunt Fang's arms.
Moyan, on the other hand, was still trying to support his eyelids. When he saw her, he gave her a sweet smile.
Lin Mengya's heart softened.
She took the child from Aunt Lan's hands and kissed his little forehead. Little Moyan couldn't support himself anymore. He tilted his head and fell asleep.
Lin Mengya put him on the bed, carefully took off his coat, shoes, and socks, and wrapped his round little body with the quilt.
A small bag immediately bulged out of the bed, and it rose and fell with his breathing, like a tired little mouse.
But Little Fubao didn't need to worry at all.
He didn't cry after changing his position, and continued to sleep soundly.
Lin Mengya couldn't help but gently poke her daughter's little face.
This big-hearted little guy probably didn't know how to worry even if he was sold!
But this was good.
She only needed her child to be safe and healthy. Nothing else mattered.
In the candlelight, Lin Mengya's eyes were filled with motherly tenderness.
It was hard to imagine that this woman, who was still thinking about how to get out of the big whirlpool of Yuehu City with her own people a second ago, would abandon all the coldness and scheming in the world the next second and become the most ordinary mother.
Aunt Fang looked at her and somehow felt a little familiar.
It was as if she was seeing herself more than ten years ago.
It was a pity that she didn't have such good luck, nor did she have Gong Ya's courage and confidence.
She often thought about it sometimes.
If she didn't choose to compromise at that time, but ignored her father's threat and still resolutely stayed with her lover and child, what would it be like?
It was a pity that fate made fools of people.
It was useless to think about it now.
At least fate was not so cruel to her. At least, it gave her a chance to reunite with her child and lover.
She was slightly distracted and didn't hear Lin Mengya calling her.
"Aunt Fang?"
Lin Mengya called her softly again. Fang Rao came to her senses and looked at her.
Lin Mengya pointed outside.
It was obvious that she had something to say to her.
The two of them walked outside together. Aunt Lan was left to look after the two babies.
They went up the stairs and went to the backyard.
At this time, the four people squatting in the yard had already left.
But Lin Mengya wasn't talking about these four people.
"Did Uncle Huo and Huo Xiao secretly go there again?"
Aunt Fang didn't expect Lin Mengya to guess correctly.
But she didn't want to hide it. "Yes. Your Uncle Huo said that when the Huo family built that house, they put in a lot of effort, so he wanted to see if he missed anything."
In fact, Huo Shujiang's original words were, "Those belong to the Huo family. Since they're here, they don't want to let that bastard Pei take advantage of them!"
It wasn't hard to understand Uncle Huo's thinking.
But that place had been occupied by the Pei family for many years. Even if there was anything good, they would have found it long ago.
Uncle Huo did this because he was unwilling to accept it.
Why could those people take away the Huo family's money just by touching their lips?
But the aboriginals were not a reasonable place.
It was good to let them vent, so they wouldn't be stifled.
The moonlight was clear and cool.
Maybe it was because this place used to be a lake, so it was more humid. In short, the temperature here was a few degrees lower than in the Zhao mansion, but it was still quite comfortable.
The two of them chatted as they strolled around. For the past few days, they were either in the car or in the house. It was really suffocating.
Coincidentally, there were no strangers around, and it was quiet. They were in a good mood.
