Chapter 754: Recruitment (I)

"Nope." Xuanhu looked ahead, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Originally, I didn't want to take you out of the bureau, but the police station can only let you avoid the limelight temporarily, not a long-term solution." ā€

"Is there any news from Yu Lan's side?" I asked again.

Xuanhu still shook his head: "No, the outer disciples of Longhu Mountain said that this period is very peaceful, and there is nothing strange about it." ā€

Hearing this, I stopped and asked, "In other words, this stand-in is looking for a place to hide?" ā€

Xuanhu replied slowly: "It can be understood so. It's just that a paper figure who already has a sanity, why is hiding in the sea of people? ā€

"A paper man can't set off any big waves, right?" I asked tentatively.

Xuanhu said solemnly: "It's hard to say. He has the same feelings, the same memories, and maybe even the same spells as you. He's a ticking time bomb. ā€

I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you sure he can have the same feelings as me?" ā€

"That's what the papermaker said." Xuanhu replied, and then walked forward.

I grabbed Xuanhu's arm and asked seriously, "If that's the case, then what I like, does he also like it?" ā€

"It should be, right." Xuanhu asked with some hesitation, "What do you mean?" ā€

I grabbed Xuanhu's hand and said, "Then my weakness must also be his weakness." ā€

"What do you mean?"

"We can't be so passive, after all, take the initiative back, if he can inherit all my feelings, then there is a way to do this!" I said firmly.

After a pause, I analyzed again: "Right now, my biggest weakness is Qingfeng Guan and Yu Lan. I think, if Yu Lan is at stake, will he rush out? ā€

Xuanhu thought for a while: "You are using your daughter-in-law to fish!" ā€

"I have no choice but to do so." I said helplessly.

Xuanhu touched his chin and muttered, "Let me think about it." ā€

After a pause, Xuanhu pointed forward: "Let's go back first." ā€

Back at Xuanhu's residence, the door was not locked, Xuanhu gently pushed the door out of a gap one person wide, and carefully squeezed it in. Walking through the courtyard, Xuanhu knocked on the door rhythmically, and after a while, Yu Lan slowly opened the door.

"Why are you two so mysterious?" I asked in a low voice.

Yu Lan locked the door and responded: "Master Xuanhu was afraid that I would have an accident at home alone, so he specially instructed me to open the door only when I heard three long and three short knocks." ā€

"This is in your own home, what else can happen?" I was puzzled and asked, "Besides, what's the use of locking the door if the door is not closed?" ā€

Xuanhu pouted: "It's tender!" Locking the door is to keep the danger out, and opening the door is to have the opportunity to run when you are in danger. ā€

As he spoke, Xuanhu's eyes unconsciously glanced at the papermaker's house. Seeing this, I understood that Xuanhu was still on guard against the papermaker.

For the past few days, the papermaker has been locking himself in his room, refusing to communicate with anyone, and no one knows what he is thinking. Xuanhu was not at ease with him, and his current state made Xuanhu full of suspicions about him.

"I'll go see him." I said slowly: "He is not good at communicating, and now he is suffocated by such a big thing, and he will definitely not feel good in his heart." ā€

Xuanhu looked at me, frowned, and instructed uneasily, "Pay attention to safety." ā€

"Don't worry."

Before the words fell, I had already walked out.

I stood in front of the papermaker's door and knocked for a long time before the papermaker slowly opened the door. It can be seen that the papermaker has not had a good time these days, his bloodshot eyes are very dark, unkempt like a bird's nest upside down on his head, the sides of his cheeks have also collapsed, and the whole person reveals a haggard taste.

Seeing him in this state, I was even more convinced of my own idea that the papermaker definitely didn't do it intentionally.

The papermaker, who had not been out for several days, seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the sunlight outside, and the moment the door opened, he immediately stretched out his hand to cover the sunlight and asked in a wooden voice: "You, you are back." ā€

I felt distressed for no reason, and nodded heavily: "I'm back." ā€

"I—I haven't thought of a way yet." The papermaker said with guilt on his face.

I patted him on the shoulder hard: "It's okay, I've figured out a way." ā€

"What's the solution?" The papermaker asked.
