Chapter 1292: Chapter 1096, The Little Prince Xiao’s Tender Around the Finger (8)
“Brother Ye!”
Ye Yueying had just returned to the city when she heard a familiar voice behind her. Turning her head, she saw Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang walking toward her with smiles on their faces.
What’s going on?
Ever since she returned to Haqi City, how many tis had she run into this group?
Ye Yueying frowned and turned around, intending to leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang quickened their pace.
“Brother Ye, we et again!”
Xiao Moxi greeted her with a smile.
Ye Yueying glanced at Xiao Moxi and felt that this person was rather persistent, like an unshakable shadow: “We’re not that close, are we?”
Xiao Moxi chuckled, “Brother Ye, I thought we were already friends.”
Ye Yueying stared at him: “You’re an awfully casual person. So people spend their whole lives together and still aren’t friends. Yet you and I have only known each other for a few days, and we’re friends already?”
Xiao Moxi: “…”
Wu Yutang, standing to the side, looked at Xiao Moxi’s embarrassnt and couldn’t help but laugh: “Brother Ye, you said it splendidly. Friendship shouldn’t be declared so casually.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yueying and Xiao Moxi both shot Wu Yutang a glance.
Wu Yutang: “…” Did he say sothing wrong?
If an experienced individual were present, they would certainly advise him: When people are arguing, you, as an outsider, shouldn’t just butt in randomly.
Xiao Moxi deliberately ignored Ye Yueying’s aloofness and said, “Brother Ye, last ti you told about Ren Feng betraying colleagues and colluding with the nomads. Is it true? If it is, I think we can collaborate.”
“You should see by now that we are not the Jinling Guard of Liaodong. To be honest with you, we’re from Beijing, and we ca to Liaodong this ti to investigate the situation here.”
Ye Yueying’s gaze flickered slightly. Ren Feng’s forces were imnse. Even if she tead up with Uncle Leng, whether or not they could kill him was still uncertain. If she joined forces with these people…
As the thought arose, Ye Yueying imdiately extinguished it. Uncle Leng was right; it was best not to involve herself too much with the Jinling Guard. The more she interacted with them, the harder it would be to conceal her identity.
Moreover, who could say for sure whether these people were trustworthy?
Thinking of this, Ye Yueying looked at Xiao Moxi and said, “I don’t see any need for us to collaborate. Apologies, I have matters to attend to. Please stop following .”
Xiao Moxi blocked Ye Yueying as she was about to leave, “Brother Ye, if you change your mind, feel free to co find us.” As he spoke, he slipped a note with an address into Ye Yueying’s hand without asking, then stepped aside with a smile.
Ye Yueying glanced at him, gripped the paper, and left.
anwhile, on the other side, Ren Feng, who had received the news, arrived at the site of Ye Yueying and Ren Feihong’s fight with his Guard Squad.
Looking at his son with eyes wide open and an unyielding death stare, Ren Feng was overco with rage and spat out a mouthful of blood.
In just a few days, first his brother died, and now even his only son was dead. No matter how resilient Ren Feng’s heart was, he was still struggling to handle it.
“Who? Who killed my son? I will tear them to shreds!” Ren Feng’s bloodshot eyes were filled with fury as he gritted his teeth and roared.
“Search for them! Turn Liaodong upside down if you have to, but find the culprit for !”
With that command, the atmosphere in Haqi City suddenly grew tense. Patrol officers searched everywhere, arresting anyone who seed suspicious.
At an inn, Ye Yueying watched the officers arresting people left and right. After thinking for a mont, she went downstairs, checked out of her room, and slipped out of the city through a small hole at the base of North City’s wall.
Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang, who were following her, noticed the hidden hole and exchanged surprised glances.
Wu Yutang clicked his tongue twice: “This hole must have been intentionally left here. Digging a hole in the city wall—it’s likely to help people escape during tis of lockdown.”
Xiao Moxi: “Stop rambling and hurry up.”
After leaving the city, Ye Yueying headed straight for the silver mine.
Leng Feng had been gone for a long ti, and she was starting to worry. With the city in chaos now, even if she didn’t approach the silver mine directly, scouting the periter would still be worthwhile.
A hundred ters behind her, Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang followed, keeping a asured distance.
Wu Yutang: “Brother Xi, does following her like this even help?”
Xiao Moxi: “We’re idle anyway. Since we can’t find anything in Haqi City, we might as well wander around. Who knows? We might stumble upon so clues.”
“Ye Jingwu was a Liaodong local, and he’s been around longer than Ren Feng. It’s understandable that no one from the Ye Family survived, but Ye Family’s daughter is still alive.”
