"Yue Fu, don't worry. This is a perfect opportunity for me to take revenge. Li Jianzhang treated me like this and even wanted to attack the Wei family. How can I bear this? Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Wei Suxin said confidently.

Liu Yuefu laughed, took out a piece of paper from her waist pouch, and said, "Around noon tomorrow, go to the place written on this paper and look for a person. This person is a close confidant of King Jing. When you go there, exchange secret signals with him and ask him if he has any roasted meat bones for sale. If he says he's late and wants two freshly baked white meat Hu pancakes, then this person is the one you're looking for."

After listening to what Liu Yuefu said, Wei Suxin said, "I asked him if they had any roasted meat bones for sale. He replied, 'You're late. Would you like two freshly baked white meat Hu pancakes?' Is that right?"

Liu Yuefu smiled and nodded, saying, "When the time comes, you can communicate with each other by exchanging secret codes. He will cooperate with your investigation. This is also to prevent people from Concubine Wan from impersonating his identity."

"I understand." Wei Suxin said.

"Li Jianzhang helped Kang Miaoqing and Concubine Wan to harm me and Prince Jing. I'm afraid there may be multiple forces behind him. Be careful." Liu Yuefu advised Wei Suxin kindly.

Wei Suxin nodded and said, "I'll be careful, Yuefu. If there's nothing else to do today, I'll leave now. I still have things to deal with in the store."

"Let's go. I'll see you off." Liu Yuefu stood up, walked forward, took Wei Suxin's hand, and escorted Wei Suxin out of the side door of Prince Jing's mansion.

The two of them had been more cautious in their interactions recently, and only after sending Wei Suxin to the unmarked little carriage did Liu Yuefu return home through the side door.

The next day, around noon.

Wei Suxin was invited to the agreed location, Chongya Residence.

Wei Suxin got off the carriage in advance at her own clothing shop on Lintao Street in the south city, went out from the back door of the backyard, walked for a while, and finally came to an alley.

Wei Suxin had just entered the alley and walked a short distance when she found that she seemed to be followed.

The footsteps of the person behind me were at almost the same frequency as my own.

Wei Suxin quickened her pace, and the man also quickened his pace.

Wei Suxin slowed down, and the man also slowed down.

What made Wei Suxin even more certain that this person was following her was that he turned when she turned.

There are so many forks in the road here, how could such a coincidence happen?

This area in the south of the city is the old city area. It is very difficult to walk on the winding roads. If you are not someone who has walked around this area of ​​Beijing for a long time, it would be difficult to even keep track.

Wei Suxin originally chose to go to Chongya Residence from here because she was afraid of being followed, but she didn't expect that even after all this, she was still discovered and successfully followed.

We've already passed four corners, but this person is still following closely.

Wei Suxin gradually became a little flustered. Oh no, why hasn’t she gotten rid of it yet?

It seems that this person has lived in Kyoto for many years and is very familiar with this area.

This is the worst possible situation for Wei Suxin.

Wei Suxin could only hope that this man would not attack her immediately, or at least would not lose his temper and attack her before she arrived at Chongya Community.

Wei Suxin could only pretend to be ignorant and walk forward, but in fact, cold sweat had already appeared on her forehead at this moment.

After all, if this man suddenly assaulted her in the alley, she might not be able to escape.

But if she could pass by Chongya Residence, then she would be saved.

After all, everyone there is King Jing's people.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wei Suxin listened to the footsteps of the man behind her, still following her closely, still at a leisurely pace.

Wei Suxin's breathing became more rapid as the man got closer.

The man was getting closer to her. Was he planning to attack her?

Wei Suxin became more and more nervous. Her fingers were clenched into fists in her sleeves. Her nails hurt her palms, but she had no time to care.

Wei Suxin just wanted time to go faster and faster.

She was able to reach Chongya Residence before the man attacked her.

Wei Suxin breathed a sigh of relief after turning another corner. She saw four golden characters on a black plaque hanging high on a residential building not far away: Chongya Xiaoju.

Wei Suxin lifted her long skirt and quickly ran to the house and knocked on the door. "Knock knock knock", a series of rapid knocks on the door rang out.

Soon, the black wooden door of the house opened with the sound of a bolt clicking.

A middle-aged woman came out from inside. Judging from her attire, she should be the nanny of Chongya Residence.

"Mom, please let me in! Someone is following me!"

"Let's go in and close the door quickly! Hurry, it's too late!" Wei Suxin said anxiously.

"Madam, our hotel does not receive outsiders. It is a private hotel, only open to specific guests. You cannot come in." The nanny said as she was about to close the door.

Wei Suxin heard the slow footsteps of the man following her getting closer and closer.

With cold sweat on her forehead, she said to the maid, "Do you have any roasted meat bones for sale?"

The maid paused as she was about to close the door, then opened it again. "I've already told you that we don't accept outsiders. Madam, you'd better leave now."

Oh no, it’s not her.

Wei Suxin heard the man's footsteps getting closer behind her, and she suddenly felt desperate. This nanny was not the person she was looking for, and she refused to let her in. It seemed that a fierce fight was inevitable today.

"Mr. Xu, you are here. Today's herbal chicken soup has been simmering for the whole morning. It is especially fragrant. Please come in." The nanny suddenly said with a smile.

Wei Su was shocked. It turned out that the nanny saw him when she opened the door just now. So they were in the same group?

In an instant, the nanny in front of Wei Suxin became terrifying in her eyes.

She is now in a situation where there are wolves in front and tigers behind. What should she do?

Was the news from Prince Jing's Mansion leaked? Something happened?

Wei Suxin tried to run away, but the man behind her grabbed her shoulders.

"Where are you going?" The man's gentle voice sounded particularly cold to Wei Suxin's ears.

Wei Suxin thought to herself that this was not good. She was about to take out the dagger from her sleeve and fight back when the man behind her suddenly spoke, "You're late. Would you like two freshly baked white meat Hu pancakes?"

Wei Suxin frowned, "Who are you?"

"Don't you understand? I am the person you are looking for." The man released his hand that was clasping Wei Suxin's shoulders, walked up to her and said.

The man in front of him was handsome to an unusual degree. He wore a navy blue round-necked jacket and a green jade crown on his head, looking as handsome as a breeze and bright moon.

Upon hearing this, Wei Suxin asked cautiously, "How do you prove your identity?"

"A code. Can't the code prove my identity?" said the man.
