Li Youlin immediately replied: "I don't know him."

do not know?

How could I not know you?

Qin Shu pointed outside the window and whispered, "But when brother gave you those jewels last time, weren't they all boxes made by the Fu family?"

Li Youlin's eyes flickered and he smiled, "Those boxes are all from that workshop. What they make all year round are some contraband items banned by the court."

Qin Shu blinked and asked, "Brother, do you even know someone like this?"

Li Youlin smiled calmly, "We met by chance."

Qin Shu let out a long "oh" and asked, "Brother, do you know what the name of the young master of the Fu family is?"

Li Youlin smiled slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "It seems to be called Fu Rong, Funingzhou."

After saying that, he added, "Many people in the world know this."

Qin Shu gave a fake smile, "Brother, you know a lot. Last time, brother told me about the location of the bounty building. Is that also known to many people in the martial arts world?"

Li Youlin scratched his nose with his fingers, coughed lightly and said, "Indeed. Most people would ask Bounty House to do things for them that are difficult for them to do in person."

"The Bounty House is not a place where you can buy your life with money."

Qin Shu nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."

She looked at Li Youlin and suddenly asked, "What did you do in your previous job? Can you tell me?"

Li Youlin was about to speak when Qin Shu suddenly raised her hand to stop him. "Brother, don't say anything yet. Let me guess."

She looked at Li Youlin with a smile and said, "Brother, you have some connection with Bounty House, right?"

Li Youlin did not deny it and nodded, "It's just because I have to make a living."

Without waiting for Qin Shu to continue, Li Youlin smiled and said, "But I won't do that in the future. When the imperial court opens the military examination, I can find some legitimate business to do. That kind of life of fighting and killing in the martial arts world is not a long-term solution after all."

Qin Shu was about to ask again, but was interrupted by Li Youlin, "Oh, by the way, look at me, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot that before I left, my mother told me to go back early. Miss, goodbye!"

After saying that, he stood up and ran as if his butt was on fire.

Qin Shu made a face at his back and snorted, "Liar!"

She rolled her eyes slightly, and without asking anyone to follow her, she went out, lifting her skirt.

When we arrived at the East Garden, the door was still ajar.

Qin Shu slowly opened the door and quietly stuck her head in.

There was no sound inside.

After entering the door, there was no trace of Helan Chi in the main hall or the inner room.

Hey, could it be that the person has left?

She stood up straight, clapped her hands lightly, and turned around briskly, but was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah!"

"Shh!"

Helan Chi quickly covered her mouth with his hand, raised a finger and shushed her softly.

Qin Shu slapped his hand away, glanced at him and said, "What are you doing?"

Helan Chi leaned close to her ear and said silently: "Don't make a sound, follow me."

Qin Shu was completely confused by his actions. She followed his gestures involuntarily and was pushed to the door by him.

He Lan Chi stood behind Qin Shu, put his finger on Qin Shu's face, pointed at a tree outside the east courtyard wall through the crack in the door, and whispered, "Do you see that tree?"

Qin Shu thought to herself that she was not blind. This tree had been growing here for more than twenty years and was older than her.

How bad must her eyesight be that she couldn't see such a big tree?

Helan Chi whispered: "There is a person hiding up there."

What? !

Qin Shu looked at Helan Pond in shock, then at the tree.

No matter how I look at it, I can't tell that there is anyone on it?

She rubbed her eyes hard and opened them wide: the tree was still a tree.

And it was a tree with all its leaves lost!

Excuse me, if there is a person hiding in a bare tree, will she not be able to see it?

Who are you lying to?

Helan Chi looked around, stretched out his hand, and hooked off one of Qin Shu's pearl earrings. He removed the silver hook in a few strokes, put the pearl on his fingertips, and flicked it lightly.

The bright white pearl flew out with a whoosh.

I heard a muffled groan faintly coming from the tree, a branch shook, and then immediately became thinner?

Qin Shu opened her mouth in surprise.

She looked at the Helan Pond, then at the tree, back and forth several times before she stammered, "Is there really a person?!"

Helan Chi nodded seriously, "I've been here for two days."

Two days?!

Qin Shu suddenly felt a sense of fear.

He Lan Chi looked at her, a smile flashed across his eyes, and he said meaningfully: "You should know that your situation is not very safe."

Qin Shu immediately pushed him away and frowned, "He has been here for two days. If he really came to kill me, wouldn't he have done it long ago? If he didn't do anything in two days, then he is not coming for me. What if he is here to follow you?"

Qin Shu looked at him with a half-smile, and said word by word: "Fu Rong, Fu Ningzhou, Master Fu?"

Helan Chi's expression was obviously stagnant, and he asked back, "Who?"

Qin Shu said with infinite contempt: "Don't pretend, my brother Li Youlin just told me everything."

"The number one killer in the Bounty House? The young master of the Fu family, as he is known in the martial arts world?"

"I originally wanted to take you in because you helped me once before, but you actually refused to admit it?"

Qin Shu stared at Helan Chi's eyes with full of momentum.

But he was too short and could only barely reach the shoulder of Helan Chi.

With eyes wide open and lips pouting, he looked like a child whose candy was snatched away by an adult.

And he was a little kid who only wore one earring.

Fu Rong burst out laughing.

With this smile, the eyes moved as bright as the sea of ​​stars, and the originally ordinary facial features became a little more lively.

Qin Shu said angrily: "What are you laughing at?!"

Fu Ying smiled and said, "Ms. Qin is indeed very discerning and intelligent."

Qin Shu's face turned red, and she snorted and said, "I don't accept compliments!"

Fu Ying stopped smiling, but there was still some smile in his eyes. He said seriously, "Well, Miss Qin, I have indeed encountered some troubles recently. Could you please take me in for a few days?"

Qin Shu was delighted and smiled, but then she quickly frowned and said, "You can't stay here for free."

Fu Ying nodded, "What I promised before still counts."

Qin Shu pointed at the furniture in the room again, "And these."

Fu Ying quickly raised his hand and said, "I'll fix it."

That's more or less.

Qin Shu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, but then she quickly straightened her face and said seriously: "Mr. Fu is in trouble now. You must know that my Qin family has also suffered a great disaster for the first time."

"I know your current appearance is not your true face. We just met by chance, so I don't ask you to be honest with me. But if your appearance is known to others, it would be better for you to change your identity."

People in the underworld have many tricks up their sleeves, and it is not difficult to disguise themselves.

Fu Ying also agreed readily.

Qin Shu felt relieved, and knelt down towards Fu Ying and said, "It's getting late today, so please stay here for now. I'll have someone bring bedding and food to you later."
