There was a loud bang, and the door was slammed open.

Xin Yu couldn't see the outside scene where he was hiding, and he could only infer from his voice that there were many people walking in.

The men went to the main room first, carrying lanterns and walking through the east and west houses and halls, and then to the side rooms.

A familiar voice sounded, "I shouldn't be here, let's go."

Xin Yu's eyes flashed.

It's Gree-sama.

found out that it was He Qingxiao who led the team, and Xin Yu was inexplicably relieved.

Every time I get to him, it's not going well, and I'm used to it.

Listening to the footsteps fading away, Xin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and her clenched palms were covered with wet sweat.

The courtyard door was smashed open, Xin Yu had no intention of sleeping peacefully, endured hunger and cold and waited patiently for an hour, walked out of the hiding place, and walked out with light steps.

The door was wide open, and there was no need to climb over the wall, so Xin Yu gathered his cloak and walked into the endless night.

As for the courtyard gate, in case someone finds out the clues, keep it as it is, and then send someone to lock it during the day.

It was already late at night, and the noise brought by Jin Linwei before had dissipated, and there was silence all around.

Xin Yu didn't take two steps when he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and the hand holding the dagger reached out from the cloak and stabbed at the approacher.

After a short fight, a low voice sounded in my ears: "It's me."

Xin Yu paused and looked at the person who was very close.

In the darkness, she couldn't see the man's face clearly, but the voice was all too familiar.

"Lord He?"

"Follow me."

The cold wrist was immediately held by a big hand, and Xin Yu soon discovered that the place He Qingxiao took her to was the house she had just walked out of.

The sound of the door closing, Xin Yu pressed the wrist he had held with one hand, and without saying a word, he plugged in the deadbolt and walked towards her.

The night was too deep, and even if it was too close, his face was moldy.

Xin Yu's eyelashes trembled, and she said softly, "Lord He, come in and talk."

Without waiting for an answer, she went into the house, and groped for the lamp with her familiarity with the furnishings.

The light instantly filled the small room, and the man's eyebrows and eyes finally became clear.

He wore a dark color narrow-sleeved shirt with dark red lines, which was crisp and neat, with a chill.

Xin Yu was wearing an inky cloak, and her pale face was hidden in her hood, very confused.

Not to mention that it was dark outside just now, even if there was starlight and moonlight, her dress should not be recognized at once.

And He Qingxiao looked at the girl whose whole person was hidden in the ink-colored cloak, and his heart was settled.

The moment she appeared, he was sure that it was her, and when he really saw her face clearly, he had a sense of reality.

Xin Yu pulled down her hood and opened her mouth first, "Is Lord He following me?"

She knew in her heart that she was unlucky enough to bump into it, so she asked this question to confirm the guess.

Sure enough, He Qingxiao shook his head slightly: "Miss Kou misunderstood, tonight is a business matter."

As he spoke, a pair of clear eyes looked fixed.

Xin Yu inexplicably felt like she had seen through the secret, so she couldn't help clenching her fists and asked the doubts in her heart: "How does Lord He know that it's me?"

When these words were asked, there was a silence.

The wind was howling outside, and He Qingxiao opened his mouth: "When I just came in to check, I saw the vanity mirror in this room, and I suddenly thought that this might be Miss Kou's whereabouts."

At this point, he paused and said calmly, "It's kind of intuition."

Maybe it was because he noticed Miss Kou's empty earlobes that day, or maybe it was the "young man" who tried to kill him earlier, when he saw the dresser in the neatly furnished room, there was nothing to put on it, and he suddenly had this guess.

Because of this speculation, he did not let his men continue the search, nor did he leave.

As it turned out, his instincts were right.

"Intuition?" Xin Yu muttered and repeated these two words, and her mood was very complicated.

He had noticed her approaching Guchangbo's Mansion and bumped into her tonight

This outfit is probably even more suspicious.

The day of the operation was really not chosen.

Xin Yu sighed in her heart, not wanting to speak for a while.

Next, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape his interrogation.

"Where did Miss Kou go so late?"

Xin Yu pursed her lips and asked rhetorically, "Is this also within the scope of Lord He's official investigation?"

He Qingxiao was silent again.

This time he was silent for a long time, so long that Xin Yu's legs were numb when he stood, and he couldn't withstand the cold and burrow into his bones while wrapped in a cloak.

Finally, the man's deep voice sounded, "I wasn't there."

Xin Yu's heart jumped, and she had an ominous premonition.

What does he mean by that?

When he was vigilant, he saw He Qingxiao take a step forward.

Xin Yu took a half step back, making sure that something was wrong with the Lord He he he saw tonight.

She moved her lips, wanting to say that it was too late, that it would be better to say something tomorrow.

The bookstore is a place she is familiar with and at ease, not like being passive everywhere in this room without fireworks.

She didn't doubt his character, but she intuitively felt dangerous.

She had a hunch that what the other party said next would make it difficult for her to deal with it.

What did he find? Got it?

In the dim light, the girl's eyes were cold and bright, and the resistance in her eyes was clear to He Qingxiao.

But this time, he couldn't act like he didn't know anything.

There were some things he had to ask.

"Miss Kou."

The man's voice sounded, and it didn't sound strange because of the different occasions or whatever.

Xin Yu calmed down and said calmly, "Lord He, please have something to say."

What terrifying picture has she never seen, and she is still afraid of him?

A hint of bitterness grows from my heart.

What she was afraid of was not him, but the apparent peace being broken, and they had become completely opposites.

Sure enough, heartbeat is the most irrational and undesirable thing for her.

"Miss Kou." He Qingxiao called again.

Xin Yu lowered her eyes, and her voice became more powerful: "I'm listening."

After a short silence, He Qingxiao still asked, "Who are you?"

Who are you?

Just one sentence of question, like a basin of ice water splashed on the head, made Xin Yu freeze in place.

Her heart plummeted straight down to the bottom of the deep cold pool.

Did He Qingxiao know her identity?

This is the first reaction of Xinyu.

No, she is obviously Kou Qingqing in the eyes of people, and even those people in Shaoqing Mansion have never suspected that Kou Qingqing has changed, how can He Qingxiao know?

Is he cheating on her?

Xin Yu bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to calm down.

"Why did Lord He ask such a strange question?"

"Strange?"

Xin Yu smiled, and her expression was numb from the cold under the pressure, but it became smart: "Isn't it strange? It's not the first day he's known me. I am the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, the cousin of Shaoqing's Mansion, Kou Qingqing."

He Qingxiao looked at the girl who was smiling lightly and shook her head.

Xin Yu's mind turned sharply, and his face showed a little puzzlement.

He Qingxiao stretched out his hand and landed next to her cheek, letting it go without touching the frosty skin.

"You're not Kou Qingqing."

Xin Yu listened to him whisper.
