After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

Chapter 146 An acquaintance commits the crime

"Why aren't you leaving?" Ye Tantai said coldly.

Only then did the two of them react and go out immediately.

Su Qingcheng stepped over Ye Tantai, put her coat on her body, and said, "Dan Mo, come in and help me dress up."

Wu Ya, who was dressed in a maid's uniform, walked in with small steps and bowed her body. She stopped next to Su Qingcheng and saluted Ye Tantai.

Ye Tantai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wu Ya from top to bottom with an inquiring gaze, then turned to Su Qingcheng: "I will go out first."

After making sure that Ye Tantai was gone, Su Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Ya, who had been restrained, also relaxed.

"Huh, he kept looking at me and I thought I was recognized by him." Wu Ya said coquettishly.

Although she had met Ye Tantai many times before, this was the first time he stared at her blankly like this, which could not help but send chills down the back.

Su Qingcheng asked curiously: "Have you seen him before?"

"He has been to the Paradise Gate," Wu Ya replied while combing Su Qingcheng's hair skillfully, "but I didn't care about the Gate at the time and didn't know the purpose of his visit."

She recalled some details and added with a disdainful expression: "That Li Jichen who is neither male nor female is also here."

Su Qingcheng didn't listen to what Wu Ya was saying at all. Her mind was filled with the scene of Fang Cai and Ye Tantai fighting on the bed.

At the time, I didn't think the two people's behavior was very close, but now it seems that it is indeed too embarrassing.

Although Su Qingcheng wanted to relieve the pain caused by the Gu insects, she was really not ready to have any other relationship with Ye Tantai...

"Hey, are you listening?" Wu Ya complained with her hands on her hips.

Su Qingcheng came back to her senses and said "ah" again and again: "I'm listening."

"Then tell me what I just said?"

"You said Li Jichen... is a man or a woman?" Su Qingcheng blinked and tried to test.

At this time, Li Jichen, who was thousands of miles away, sneezed twice.

"I just said you weren't listening. I just heard Gu Huoyan say there is news about his sister outside."

"Oh," Su Qingcheng looked at the bronze mirror, stood up and straightened her slightly wrinkled skirt, then looked at the bronze mirror again, "Let's go."

Su Qingcheng didn't realize that this was the first time since her rebirth that she cared about her dress. Something was quietly happening in her heart...

Ye Tantai and others were already waiting for her outside. When Gu Huoyan saw her coming out, he couldn't help but said, "Auntie, you are finally out."

"Ahem." Ye Tantai cleared his throat, with a clear warning.

Gu Huoyan curled his lips helplessly: "Princess, please get on this carriage."

Su Qingcheng felt awkward and got on the carriage without saying a word. As soon as she sat down, Ye Tantai followed her in.

"The princess's outfit today..."

Su Qingcheng muttered in her heart and said hurriedly: "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"

Because several people came to Qingshui City to escape the summer heat, it was not easy for them to be too luxurious.

Su Qingcheng was wearing a light green pear blossom silk skirt and a small and exquisite green headdress on her head. She looked playful and cute.

It's just that she always feels that she is not young, that she is an "old man" who has lived two lives. She is really awkward with such a young and cute color.

"No, it's very beautiful." Ye Tantai praised unceremoniously, the joy in his eyes almost overflowing.

Su Qingcheng was excited. Receiving recognition from others made her more confident. She decided to wear more light-colored clothes in the future.

The carriage stopped at the door of an inconspicuous pawn shop.

Ye Tantai got out of the car first naturally and reached out to help Su Qingcheng.

Several people walked into the pawn shop, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted them.

"Your Majesty and Princess, please come this way."

He led several people through the pawn shop lobby and towards the backyard, where they entered an unattractive attic.

Finally, he stopped in a room, where the chairs had been placed, and on the table was information about Huo Mei's whereabouts these days.

The shopkeeper motioned for several people to sit down and opened the latest file: "The last time the informants in Qingshui City saw Miss Huo Mei was three days ago, near a pharmacy outside the city."

As he spoke, he laid out the map of Qingshui City and pointed to a place on it not far from the city gate.

"What did she buy at that pharmacy?" Gu Huoyan asked anxiously, his brows never relaxing from the moment he came in.

The shopkeeper waved his hand to signal him not to worry: "They are all common medicinal materials used to treat typhoid fever. What is suspicious is..."

Before he could speak, Gu Huoyan stood up again: "Typhoid fever? She is the daughter of the Gu family. Why would she go to the drug store to get medicine for a mere typhoid fever? She must have been kidnapped!"

Ye Tantai held his forehead. The Gu Huoyan he knew was calm, wise, and had superb medical skills, so he could sit in the position of second-in-command of the Shadow Guard.

But as soon as he encounters the fire charm, he loses his mind like a three-year-old child.

"Sit down first and listen to what the shopkeeper has to say." Ye Tantai said helplessly, with a hint of command in his tone.

Gu Huoyan, the replacement shopkeeper, spoke up: "Hey, Mr. Gu is really right this time. Miss Huo Mei was indeed followed by a man, and they were very close to each other."

He observed Gu Huoyan and found that the latter had no intention of interrupting him, so he continued: "At that time, our informants thought he was Miss Huo Mei's sweetheart, so we didn't pay too much attention. Who knew that from that day on, The fire girl disappeared."

"It's over! My sister has been kidnapped!" Gu Huoyan jumped up from his chair, "What are the characteristics of this person?"

"It's true. Our people went to the pharmacy and asked the shopkeeper there. He said that the man was thin, coughing all the time, and his whole body smelled of medicine."

Su Qingcheng always felt that something was wrong. Since Huo Mei was from Ye Tantai, she must be highly skilled in martial arts.

If the person who kidnapped her was a thin man who kept coughing and smelled of medicine, the fire girl would definitely be able to kill him in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, Huo Mei was probably not kidnapped, but willingly followed this man away.

Apparently Ye Tantai also thought of this. He patted the absent-minded Gu Huoyan and said, "Huo Mei was not kidnapped. Think about whether there are any people you know who fit this profile."

Gu Huoyan's expression suddenly changed, and he completely lost the irrational look he had just now.

"Have."

After he said this word, everyone was waiting for him to continue speaking. Unexpectedly, he remained silent for a long time and did not say anything.

a moment later

"If he is Fu Xingzhou's man, he should be in Qingshan," Gu Huoyan analyzed calmly and said with a serious expression, "Let's go back now and leave for Qingshan tomorrow."

He didn't want to say more, and the others didn't ask any more questions, and they all nodded and started on the way back.
