Chapter 325 Staying at the same inn
Chapter 325 Staying at the same inn
Xue Ping glanced at He Yuyan, his eyes flickering slightly.
Jiang Li glanced at Wu Weiwei thoughtfully before agreeing.
"Alright! I'll do as Miss He says and switch rooms with her!"
Jiang Li originally lived next door to Wu Weiwei, while He Yuyan was assigned to a guest room downstairs. Now, with this reversal, she is now living next door to Wu Weiwei…
Seeing that Jiang Li agreed, Goldman Sachs's lips curled into a smile.
The matter was settled.
After everyone left, He Yuyan looked at Wu Weiwei and said, "Wu Weiwei, your protective charm is gone. You'd better get a good rest tonight!"
After a few days, her injuries had mostly healed, and now it was time to deal with Wu Weiwei.
Wu Weiwei gave He Yuyan a bright smile.
"That's natural!"
Perfect timing, she was just worried about not finding an opportunity.
She was indeed exhausted after traveling for two days.
While digesting her lunch, He Yuyan noticed the waiter carrying food towards Wu Weiwei's room.
He Yuyan stepped forward and stopped him.
"Did that guy surnamed Wu send you the food?"
Wu Weiwei didn't come downstairs while they were having dinner, but unexpectedly she ordered food to go upstairs herself.
"Yes, my dear guest."
Looking at this ordinary two dishes and one soup, there's nothing special about it.
However, He Yuyan smelled an unusual aroma in the yam and pork rib soup, and her expression suddenly changed.
She took out a few silver ingots from her sleeve, handed them to the waiter, and instructed, "Take these. If she asks about them later, just say you didn't see me!"
"Welcome, distinguished guest!"
The waiter happily carried the food upstairs to the second floor.
Wu Weiwei has been experiencing a dull ache in her abdomen for the past two days. She doesn't know if it's a lingering effect of recovering from a cold or due to fatigue from traveling these past few days.
He was quite firm when he wasn't being asked for anything, and even being beaten with a board didn't bring him down.
But now that she's trying to hold back, he's suddenly started acting up.
Because of an upset stomach, Wu Weiwei did not go down for lunch, but instead told the innkeeper to have the waiter bring it up.
"Knock knock!"
Soon, her meal was brought to her.
Looking at the food in front of her, Wu Weiwei's expression finally improved.
"By the way, waiter, did you run into anyone when you brought the food up?"
The waiter, who was about to leave, paused, thinking of He Yuyan whom he had just met downstairs.
Having just received her money, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
Seeing his hesitation, Wu Weiwei knew that he must have run into someone.
She pulled a small bag of silver coins from her bosom. "Tell me! Who did you just meet? Tell me and this reward is yours!"
Wu Weiwei threw the bag onto the table.
Looking at the rather heavy silver bag, the waiter shamelessly told her about his encounter with He Yuyan downstairs.
A serious look appeared in Wu Weiwei's eyes.
She handed the silver pouch to the waiter, saying, "Take this; it's all yours. By the way, if she asks again, you know what to say, right?"
The waiter nodded.
Next room.
He Yuyan pondered what she had just smelled.
The food Wu Weiwei ate was nothing unusual, but the yam and pork rib soup had something added to it.
Perilla.
She made that conclusion precisely because she could smell the perilla in it.
She was pregnant.
The thought that Wu Weiwei was pregnant flashed with resentment in He Yuyan's eyes.
But whose child is she carrying?
Is it the heir apparent? Or is it the bastard child of that servant named Qingzhu?
No matter whose child it is, He Yuyan will not let her go.
Lu Hanting wore out two horses, and after traveling through the night, he finally arrived at Chang'an Town, which was not far from Chulong Prefecture.
He planned to find an inn to rest for the night before continuing his journey.
Looking at the inn called Wenju in front of him, Lu Hanting went inside.
Unexpectedly, when Xue Ping went downstairs, he saw Lu Hanting checking in on the first floor. He watched as Lu Hanting walked upstairs without making a sound.
"Boss, this is terrible! Lu Hanting and his men are catching up!"
"What did you say?"
Goldman Sachs was surprised.
"How many of them are there?"
This is what Goldman Sachs is most worried about.
Upon hearing Goldman Sachs' question, Xue Ping suddenly remembered, "I didn't see him clearly. I just saw him and rushed over to report..."
Hearing Xue Ping say this, Goldman Sachs was furious.
"Have someone go and investigate again, find out how many people he brought!"
He needed to tell Jiang Li about this as soon as possible and hear his thoughts.
"You mean Lu Hanting caught up with us, and he's all alone?"
Upon hearing Goldman Sachs' words, Jiang Li's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Yes, our people have just investigated and it seems he's alone!"
Goldman Sachs looked at Jiang Li.
"Tell me, should we just... kill him..."
Goldman Sachs made a gesture towards Jiang Li.
He had a vague idea in his mind.
If they could assassinate Lu Hanting here, Master Shen would surely be pleased.
"inappropriate!"
Upon hearing Goldman Sachs's idea, Jiang Li rejected his suggestion.
Even if he and Goldman Sachs joined forces, they could probably only manage a draw against Lu Hanting.
What if he has powerful backers? Wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
"What should I do?"
"Let's go, tell our people we need to leave!"
Jiang Li said to Goldman Sachs.
"Can……"
This was an opportunity he had worked so hard for, and to be honest, Goldman Sachs was unwilling to give it up.
You should know that Master Shen kidnapped Wu Weiwei precisely to lure Lu Hanting here.
If he can help Master Shen solve this big problem, then the position of the third leader of the Black Hawk Gang will be his.
Seeing the resentment in Goldman Sachs' eyes, Jiang Li said coldly, "Goldman Sachs, if you insist on doing this, I will not interfere with you."
But don't include me in this..."
After saying this, he opened the door and walked outside.
Goldman Sachs's cunning eyes seemed to pierce right through Jiang Li.
On the surface, Jiang Li may not seem to compete with him, but within the gang, he constantly tries to outdo him.
Moreover, he knew that Master Shen intended to cultivate him.
Although the current leader of the Black Hawk Gang is still alive and has a certain say, the real leader is Master Shen.
Even though Jiang Li was recommended by the boss, Master Shen still used him, which shows how much he valued Jiang Li.
He is not as good as Jiang Li, who has powerful backers.
I have risen to this position through my own hard work and overcoming numerous obstacles.
When Goldman Sachs notified He Yuyan, she was in her room fiddling with various strange bottles.
"Miss He, the situation has changed, we must leave here immediately..."
He Yuyan was startled when Gao Shenggao barged into her room without knocking.
Her expression was slightly annoyed.
"Why are you leaving all of a sudden? Didn't you say you were staying here tonight...?"
Without a valid reason, he can forget about leaving quietly.
Seeing He Yuyan's stubbornness, Gao Sheng suddenly said, "The government officials are coming!"
