Chapter 399: One Shot
Ye Xiaoyu didn't know which private room Wang Huaiqing was in, but with experience, she felt that the probability of such a scene upstairs was much greater.
Sure enough, as soon as I rushed to the staircase, I saw Xiao Yu standing in front of a private room looking around.
Hearing the sound, she turned her head and looked at Ye Xiaoyu.
"Huh? What's the matter with you? ”
The situation was urgent, Ye Xiaoyu didn't have time to pay attention to her, and rushed directly into the private room behind her.
"Xiaoyu?"
Seeing the people rushing in, Wang Huaiqing almost bounced up from his chair.
"You...... I...... I'm really sorry......"
Ye Xiaoyu's whole body was soaked, her hair and cheeks were all covered with water, and her whole person looked like she had just been fished out of the water.
Looking at Ye Xiaoyu like this, the expression on Wang Huaiqing's face changed instantly, shocked, guilty, worried, sad, and finally stopped at guilt.
"Don't say anything, come with me."
Thinking that the Wu family was about to come in, Ye Xiaoyu didn't care much, and directly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Huaiqing's hand, pulled him and walked out the door.
"Wait—"
Tian Yuyan also stood up from the chair with a surprised face.
She didn't understand what Ye Xiaoyu was playing, but Wang Huaiqing was chatting with herself, so she broke in like this, it was too rude, right?
"Second lady, the situation is urgent, there is a reason for the incident, I will give you a good explanation another day."
Ye Xiaoyu turned her head and said impatiently.
It's too late to grind any longer.
"What the hell is going on with you?"
Xiaoyu also came in from outside, and was glaring at Ye Xiaoyu at this time.
"Oops. Get out of the way! ”
With an impatient face, Ye Xiaoyu directly pushed Xiao Yu who was blocking the road back with her hand.
Caught off guard by such a push, Xiaoyu took a few steps back.
"Second lady, I'll explain to you another day. You'll find out why later. ”
When she was about to go out, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly remembered her pastry business, so she turned back to Tian Yuyun and said. The matter is urgent, but she still has to live, and she can't ruin her pastry business because she saved Wang Huaiqing.
Holding Wang Huaiqing's hand tightly, Ye Xiaoyu quickly walked downstairs, but just arrived in the lobby. I heard a chaotic and hurried footsteps outside. And judging by the sound, there is more than a group of people.
It's too late.
"Shopkeeper, is there a back door here?"
Ye Xiaoyu asked.
"The back door is over there—guest officer, you haven't settled yet?"
"Wow. This is for you. Someone will ask later. What to say, you should understand. ”
Ye Xiaoyu grabbed Wang Huaiqing with one hand, and took out two taels of silver from his arms with the other. put it on the counter, and then quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist and put it directly under the neck of the shopkeeper.
"That's natural, otherwise who else will come to our shop in the future?"
The shopkeeper will know.
The reason why this shop can still be opened in such a remote location is that he has a strict tone, no matter what he hears or sees, he will pretend not to know. Rongzhou City is an enlightened place, and if there is no evidence, the government will not take him.
So even if Ye Xiaoyu didn't threaten just now, the shopkeeper wouldn't tell anyone else about the situation between the two of them. He would only answer "I don't know" to all the questions, because he really didn't know - this shopkeeper was a blind man.
"Let's go."
Ye Xiaoyu casually took two dry rags by the counter, wrapped the soaked soles, and then pulled Wang Huaiqing to the back door.
The reason why she wrapped the soles of her shoes was because she couldn't let anyone who came later find the footprints on the ground.
"The night patrol of the city department."
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them turned out the back door, there was a sound of this coming from the lobby, followed by the sound of footsteps going upstairs.
"Madam, this is the shop."
Wu then went to the teahouse as well.
The teahouse in the middle of nowhere, on this rainy night, suddenly became lively.
*
"Xiaoyu, don't run, we've gone a long way."
Out of the back door of the teahouse, Ye Xiaoyu pulled Wang Huaiqing all the way to run wildly, but because she was afraid of running into Wu and others, she ran in another direction.
The rain in the sky has gradually stopped, Ye Xiaoyu is tired and sweating, in fact, whether it is sweat or the rain just now, she is a little unclear. She just felt very cold, and as soon as she stopped, she shivered all over.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
As soon as she stopped, Ye Xiaoyu was out of breath.
"Thank you."
When he was at the back door just now, Wang Huaiqing heard all the voices in the lobby.
Looking at Ye Xiaoyu, who was soaked and tired, his heart was full of taste.
The reason why the person in front of him is like this is to save himself.
"Thank you, what thanks, leave me alone in the restaurant, let me settle the bill, do you think a simple thank you can send me away?!"
Raising her head, Ye Xiaoyu looked at Wang Huaiqing with amusement.
The whole process was tense, and now that she was relaxed all of a sudden, she suddenly felt a little sleepy.
"I'm sorry."
Bowing his head and being silent for a while, Wang Huaiqing raised his head suddenly, suddenly looked at Ye Xiaoyu and said.
"Uh......"
Being looked at by the people in front of her was a little flustered, Ye Xiaoyu didn't know what to say for a while.
"Leaving you alone in a restaurant all night, and then worrying and drenching yourself in the rain."
As he spoke, Wang Huaiqing suddenly stretched out his hand and brushed the hair that was sticking to Ye Xiaoyu's cheek because of the rain.
"Hey, so I said you owe me a lot, hurry up and think about how you want to pay it back?"
Ye Xiaoyu took two steps back and deliberately distanced herself from Wang Huaiqing.
I don't know if it's because she was drenched in too much rain, but at that moment just now, her heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.
After making sure they hadn't been found, the two began walking back down another alley. Ye Xiaoyu's whole body was soaked, if he didn't go back to deal with it quickly. It's inevitable that you'll get a cold tomorrow.

"Yo, Second Lady, is it so coincidental?"
Li Yan walked quickly to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, but when he opened the curtain, he found that there was no one else in it except Tian Yuyun and the personal maid, which made him a little disappointed.
Turning his head and signaling his subordinates to carefully search every part of the teahouse, he himself made a light gesture towards Tian Yuyan, and then sat down opposite her.
"Master Li, where are you still patrolling so late?"
Tian Yuyun smiled faintly.
She now knew the meaning of what Ye Xiaoyu had just said.
"Alas. What's the solution. There are many people in Rongzhou City, and there are many people who do business, so if you don't check it strictly, in case something happens. We can't afford it. ”
Li Yan said as he shot in the box with his eyes. Trying to find something out of the ordinary.
But unfortunately. He found nothing but the two bowls of noodles on the table.
"Second lady, I didn't expect your appetite to be really good."
Looking at the half-eaten seafood noodles on the table. Li Yan said with a smile.
"Master Li has won the prize, and the bowl in front of you is Xiaoyu's."
Tian Yuyun laughed, his eyes pure.
"Oh, I thought it was Madame, you asked for two bowls."
Li Yan seemed to be smiling.
"It seems that Madame treats her subordinates very well, and the little girl can eat at the same table with you, which is a great honor."
"If Master Li is, Xiaoyu and I grew up together, and I have long regarded her as a sister."
"Rain?"
There was a sound of footsteps going upstairs, and then Wu appeared in front of the box door.
"Oh? Master Lee is here too? ”
His eyes glanced around and found that Li Yan was also sitting inside, and he couldn't help frowning.
"Sister......
When Tian Yuyan saw Wu, he quickly stood up, and the expression of surprise on his face flashed.
Today, I really owe Ye Xiaoyu a big favor.
"I'm sorry, there are some things at home that have been delayed for a while and made you wait for a long time."
Wu said and walked in generously.
It is one thing for her to want to watch a play, and it is another thing for the Zou family to save face. Since there are outsiders present, she will not let the Zou family lose this face no matter what.
"...... two ladies tonight?"
Li Yan was a little confused.
According to the plan, the Wu family definitely listened to his words and came here to "catch the traitor", but now that he suddenly said this, he really didn't understand which play was staged.
"We sisters are here to talk about ourselves, what? Do you want to participate? ”
Wu's tone was not very good.
Since the last time Li Yan sued Zou Youheng in front of Zou Yu, Wu's impression of him has become very bad.
"Madame is really good at laughing, I just came out tonight to watch the night and happened to meet the ladies, it's not too early, have you found any suspicious people?"
Li Yan stood up from his chair and asked his subordinates outside.
"Back to my lord, it's normal."
A subordinate hurriedly ran up from downstairs, first muttered a few words in his ear, and after getting Li Yan's signal, he then said loudly.
"Since one qiē is normal, let's go to the next one."
Li Yanyi's words are commanding.
"Then, two ladies, I have other places to patrol here, so let's go first?"
Turning towards the box, Li Yan smiled shyly.
"Well, Master Li has worked hard, I will definitely tell Master Sù that you have done so hard when I go back."
Wu still seemed to be smiling.
"Madame has won the prize, this is a lowly matter. Nothing. ”
Li Yan laughed a few words and turned to leave.
The original smiling expression, after turning around, suddenly dark clouds, all the plans for the night were fine, but in the end there was nothing, which link went wrong?
After Li Yan left, Xiaoyu retreated outside with interest, and in the private seat on the second floor, only Tian Yuyan and Wu were left.
The atmosphere was eerie. Tian Yuyun hung his head, not daring to look at the Wu family.
"It's not too early, let's go back."
After a pause, Wu spoke.
Looking at it like this, Wang Huaiqing must have been here tonight, but he didn't have the right time, so he just missed it. But fortunately, Li Yan didn't meet it, otherwise this farce, the Wu family really didn't know how to end it. (To be continued......)
