Lu Huai was about to reach this corner.
Ye Chu was already mentally prepared to be discovered, she clenched her hands tightly, her nails dug into the flesh.
At this time, Ye Chu suddenly heard an extremely loud voice. The man was in a hurry, sounding extremely nervous and flustered.
"Third Young Master!"
Lu Huai paused.
Footsteps sounded from the other end of the corridor, and the man hurriedly trotted towards Lu Huai. After stopping in front of Lu Huai, he lowered his voice and spoke.
"The guard on the fifth floor was knocked out!" This person just came to change shifts, but found that the original guard was gone. After searching carefully, he saw the guard leaning against the inside of the corridor, in a coma state.
Adjutant Zhou turned pale with shock, but Lu Huai remained calm.
Lu Huai reacted quickly: "Keep quiet."
Lu Huai glanced at Adjutant Zhou: "Go and see if there is any suspicious person."
He then told another person, "Come up with me."
On this day, there were many people in the Peace Hotel. If they directly block the exit, it means that they will all know that something happened here, which is too reckless.
So we must deal with this matter in a low-key manner.
The footsteps of the three people became farther and farther away, and they quickly left the corridor on the third floor. Adjutant Zhou went downstairs, while Lu Huai and the guard went upstairs.
Ye Chu could clearly hear the voice of their conversation right next to him, indicating that as long as Lu Huai took another step, he would find her.
When she looked down, her palms were already sweating.
Fortunately, Lu Huai had already left, Ye Chu's heart relaxed, and his whole body relaxed. She poked her head out slightly, and there was no one in the corridor now.
She had to leave as soon as possible.
Ye Chu started immediately and walked downstairs. When she arrived at the lobby of the Peace Hotel, she walked through the crowded crowd as usual and exited the door smoothly.
"Sixth Master Qiao is unreasonable, and you are also unreasonable. You really are from Hongmen."
"Stop talking so much nonsense, in Hongmen, Sixth Master Qiao is right!"
"..."
Ye Chu heard the argument behind him, and the person being bullied by Hongmen was still angry. After leaving the Peace Hotel, Qiao Liu's people became arrogant again.
She glanced at it and saw Adjutant Zhou leading people to check at a nearby intersection, then turned around and walked in another direction.
After turning a few intersections, Ye Chu stopped a rickshaw.
Ye Chu got into the rickshaw and said to the driver, "Yong'an Department Store."
Before the rickshaw arrived, she put on another bloated coat that she had bought earlier on top of her current suit, and blatantly walked into Yong'an Department Store.
After a while, Ye Chu had already changed into the clothes he wore when he went out, and came out with big bags and small bags.
She hooked her mouth and went back to Ye Mansion.
...
On the other side, Lu Huai had already gone upstairs with the guards. The guard who was knocked out has already woken up slowly, his expression is in a trance, and he doesn't know where he is.
Lu Huai quickly stepped into the room, and just as he unlocked the door, he saw a note on the ground, which fell there quietly.
The three words above are very familiar, "good-hearted people".
For some reason, Lu Huai's expression relaxed. He leaned over to pick up the note and held it in his hand, already thinking a little bit about it.
He turned to look at the guard and asked.
Lu Huai asked, "Did you see that man's face?"
The guard felt guilty: "That man came too fast, I didn't notice him."
This was already within Lu Huai's expectation: "I see, you can go down."
The door was closed, leaving Lu Huai alone in the room. The slender fingers unfolded the note, and there was another string of Morse code.
After seeing the above content, Lu Huai frowned.
It turned out that the warlord was about to encounter an ambush.
Lu Huai put away the note, and tapped his fingers on the table lightly, one or the other.
This person knows where the crisis will happen every time, and tries his best to inform him. What is his intention?
Now it is the second Saturday of every month, in the crowded Peace Hotel, the man risked being discovered, and also came to send him news.
It seemed that the well-meaning people not only knew their whereabouts like the palm of their hands, but even the structure of places like the Peace Hotel.
He became more and more curious about the real identity of this person.
However, the most important thing right now is to investigate the matter on the note.
...
Ye Chu returned to Ye Mansion, feeling suddenly relaxed. She knew that although Lu Huai was dubious, he must investigate such an important matter.
Ye Chu understood the source of her worry, now that it has been resolved, she is no longer nervous.
She rarely had a good night's sleep that night.
The next day was Sunday, Ye Chu was resting at home, taking advantage of the abundant time now, Ye Chu read a book in the room for a while.
The door was knocked, but Ye Chu kept his eyes on the book without raising his head: "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, Ye Chu looked up, it was her mother Su Lan.
As soon as Su Lan saw Ye Chu's posture, she knew that she had interrupted Ye Chu, and said, "I'm interrupting Ah Chu's reading, you continue to read, I'm going out first."
She knew that Ye Chu was very busy because the school had an exam soon.
Ye Chu immediately stood up from the desk, came to his mother, and pulled her to the seat: "Mom, what are you talking about? I just flipped through it casually, and it doesn't bother me."
"Mother came to see me, is there something wrong?" Ye Chu looked at Su Lan with a smile.
Su Lan almost forgot what she wanted to say: "Do you remember the Boss Yuan's family next door? They came back from England yesterday."
Of course Ye Chu remembered that Boss Yuan was their neighbor, and the couple had three children in total.
Because Boss Yuan runs a bank, for the sake of auspiciousness, the nicknames of their three children are all related to money. They are Ah Jin, Ah Yin, and Ah Tong.
A year ago they said they were going to live with their relatives in England for a while, and Boss Yuan stopped by to see if there were any new business opportunities.
Boss Yuan's family and Ye Chu have been neighbors for a long time, so they are naturally very familiar with each other. It can be said that Ye Chu played with A Jin, A Yin, and A Tong until they grew up.
Ye Chu nodded: "No wonder there were a lot of voices outside yesterday. It turned out that Boss Yuan's family moved back. I haven't seen them for so long. I really miss them."
Su Lan said: "I came here just to tell you about this matter. Mrs. Yuan made an appointment with me yesterday, and we will have a gathering today. I just don't know if you have time."
Ye Chu naturally agreed.
The appointed time came, because they were friends for many years, Su Lan and Ye Chu just dressed up a bit.
As soon as Ye Chu and Su Lan walked to the door, they heard the loud voices of Boss Yuan's family.
"I clearly put an ocean on the table before going to bed last night, but it disappeared this morning. Did you steal it?"
As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was Mrs. Yuan, she was full of anger and had a bad temper. In addition, his voice was already loud, but now that he was emotional, his voice became even louder.
Mrs. Yuan and Boss Yuan would have a headache every day if they didn't quarrel. Mrs. Yuan remembered this incident when she left the house today. Although they are rich, they are very concerned about an ocean on weekdays.
She will not be sloppy when it comes to money. Yesterday she finished shopping and put the change on the table. She didn't expect it to disappear this morning. Who else is not the boss Yuan who committed the crime.
"Hush." Boss Yuan hurriedly stopped it, "Slow down, save me some face, you must have forgotten it somewhere else."
"Don't, don't slap your face." Boss Yuan yelled quickly, but Mrs. Yuan put down the hand that she just raised.
Jin Yintong happened to be following behind, and seeing this scene, although the two in front of them were arguing, they were already used to it.
Ah Yin said: "Mother, didn't you buy snacks for that ocean yesterday? Did you remember wrongly?"
Ah Yin is the only girl among the three children, and she is also the smartest of the three. The other two are relatively simple and honest.
However, the relationship between the three is extremely harmonious, and the family does not need to distinguish between you and me.
Boss Yuan and Mrs. Yuan are always talking about handing over their bank account to Ah Yin to take care of it. If it falls into the hands of the other two stupid sons, it will be a mess.
So what Ah Yin said still carries a lot of weight.
"That's right, I forgot." Mrs. Yuan slapped her head and turned to comfort the wronged Boss Yuan, "Xiao Yuanbao, I was joking with you just now, you must not take it seriously."
Yes, Boss Yuan's real name is Yuan Bao. Yes, still a very guilty person.
Boss Yuan's voice was like that of a mosquito, and he hummed twice, which was almost inaudible.
"Ah Chu!" Mrs. Yuan spotted Ye Chu from the corner of her eye and called out her name at once. Mrs. Yuan pushed Boss Yuan away and took two steps forward.
"Ah Chu has grown up so much, I haven't seen her in a year, she is really a big girl." Mrs. Yuan watched Ye Chu grow up, and regarded Ye Chu as her own child.
"Hello, Mrs. Ye." Boss Yuan returned to a humble and polite manner, and said hello to Su Lan.
Seeing Ye Chu's eyes light up, the gold, silver and copper people immediately surrounded Ye Chu in the prison.
Gold, Silver and Bronze hadn't seen Ye Chu for a long time, so they naturally wanted to ride in the same car with Ye Chu, let Mrs. Yuan ride with Su Lan, and they ride with Ye Chu.
There were only four people in the car, and the gold, silver, copper and Ye Chu just filled the seats.
After some discussion, they decided to split into two groups. Mrs. Yuan went to drink tea with Su Lan, and Jin Yintong and Ye Chu went shopping together.
This suggestion was made by Ah Yin. It is inevitable for girls to like to go shopping. It is also very good to let the elder brother and younger brother carry something when shopping.
Of course, Mrs. Yuan and Su Lan had no objections. The two of them separated at the gate of Ye Mansion and drove away in their respective directions.
Ah Jin and Ah Tong are only used to carry things, they only need to go shopping with Ye Chu and Ah Yin.
Ye Chu and the others walked into a clothing store, and there were a lot of new clothes in the store, including many new winter coats.
Ah Yin did not choose clothes in this store. Ye Chu picked out a red coat, and after asking the boss to take it off, Ye Chu touched the clothes, the material was average, but the style was okay.
Ye Chu's mother would give her a lot of pocket money, so Ye Chu was never short of money, and when he saw that the dress was pleasing to the eye, he planned to buy it.
"Miss, you have a good eye. This dress is imported. You haven't been to England, have you? This dress was purchased from England. There is only one of them in Shanghai."
When the boss looked at Ye Chu, he felt that she was young and her face was immature, so she must not have experienced too many things.
But looking at the clothes Ye Chu was wearing, one could tell that her family was in good condition, all her things were high-end goods, and she was a rich person.
If he could talk a little bit, boast about it, fabricate something else, and raise the price after Ye Chu likes the dress, she won't obediently buy it.
The boss said the price while waving his hands and said whether it was expensive or not, and the imported clothes were all at these prices.
As soon as Ye Chu heard it, she knew that the boss was telling lies, but she didn't expose him, she just stopped holding the wallet.
"Wait a minute." Ye Chu's hand froze when he took out his wallet, and was held by A Yin who was beside him.
"Boss, I think the price is a bit high, and it should be cut in half." Ah Yin walked to the counter and said to the boss.
The boss's heart tightened, but he thought again, these little girls must have never seen the world, and they were raised at home.
Even if he lied, how could they see it.
Ah Yin's eyes are vicious, and he can see other people's thoughts at a glance.
Ah Yin would never tolerate this kind of trickery and abduction. The price has been raised by more than half, and her half price is still cheaper than the boss.
The boss smiled and said: "Our store is doing business with conscience, and the price is absolutely fair."
The boss picked up the clothes and held them in front of them: "This material is the best first-class material. I never lie. Seeing that you are young girls, I didn't say a little about the price."
Hearing the boss's words, Ye Chu had lost interest in this dress, and the boss took them for a fool.
Just as Ye Chu wanted to say no, Ah Yin strode forward, went up to check with disbelief, and reached out to touch the material of the clothes.
Ah Yin rubbed his hands on the clothes a few times, and instantly understood: "You said the clothes were imported from England?"
The boss nodded: "Of course."
Did this little girl think that she could know the origin of the fabric by just touching it with her hands, but she knew it was impossible.
Ah Yin pursed her lips and shook her head: "I don't think so, this material is clearly from Sichuan."
"This material looks like rain silk cotton at first glance. Although the pattern on it is different from ordinary rain silk cotton, it cannot be imported from the UK in terms of touch and lines."
Ah Yin raised his head and looked at the boss: "Boss, this is your fault. I have no problem with your expensive clothes. Seeing that we are young, it seems unreasonable to fabricate facts at will."
There were quite a few customers in the store, and they all looked over here. Unexpectedly, the seasoned him would be exposed by a little girl, and the boss became anxious immediately.
"What do you know? I've been selling clothes for so many years, and I know a lot more than you. I said it was imported from the UK or it came from the UK. Be careful what you say!"
The boss's voice was louder, his tone became more aggressive, and he looked aggressive, as if Ah Yin wouldn't stop if he didn't change his words.
Ye Chu, A Jin and A Tong who were behind him stepped forward at the same time to block A Yin, and the four of them just looked at the boss.
Ye Chu knew Ah Yin's ability and would not suffer under the boss's hands. If the boss wanted to do something to Ah Yin, then she would not allow it.
A Yin poked his head out, and said calmly: "My mother taught me to read fabrics since I was a child. These fabrics are the most common ones, and I can't admit my mistake."
In order to prevent Ah Yin from being taken advantage of by others and cheated by others, Mrs. Yuan began to teach her various things early on. As long as it involves money, she will teach.
Looking at the fabric is just a trivial matter. If Ah Yin was cheated of money when buying clothes, he would lose a lot of money.
The money in the family needs to be accumulated little by little, and it is not without these reasons that Boss Yuan's family is so rich.
The boss glanced around at the guests who were watching the excitement, and said angrily, "Even if you say that the origin of this fabric is Sichuan, then you have never been to England, so how do you know if you are wrong?"
Ah Yin pretended to be innocent: "I just came back from England yesterday. When I was living in England, I visited all the famous local clothing stores. I guess the boss made a mistake."
Previously, the boss thought that Ah Yin could not refute now, but unexpectedly, Ah Yin's answer dealt him a bigger blow.
This time he really had nothing to say.
Once again dodged a person who wanted to cheat her of money. Satisfied, Ah Yin dragged Ye Chu out of the clothing store. The two older brothers followed closely behind.
Ye Chu and Ah Yin went shopping again. In order to reward Ah Yin for his hard work, Ye Chu secretly bought a small gift when Ah Yin was not paying attention, which happened to be Ah Yin's favorite.
Of course, the other two also have a share.
When the car drove them home, Ye Chu gave Ah Yin a surprise, and sure enough, Ye Chu got a big hug.
Gold, Silver and Copper have always been Ye Chu's friends. A Jin and A Tong are simple-minded and easy to get along with.
But Ah Yin is smart, calm in situations, and sincere to his friends. After meeting Ah Yin once, Ye Chu was in a good mood all day long.
...
However, in the governor's mansion, there were people who were too busy.
Lu Huai has already told Lu Zongting about the assassination, this news is half-truth and half-false, and cannot be fully believed. After discussing, the two decided to make preparations first.
Therefore, they set up countermeasures in a short period of time. Lu Zongting made all preparations, just waiting for those people to throw themselves into the trap.
Lu Huai worked all night, but Shen Jiu slept soundly.
He came to the Governor's Mansion with high spirits, to tell Lu Huai about his bet with Qiao Liu.
Shen Jiu leaned lazily on the back of the chair with a leisurely expression: "A few days ago, I found a girl who could help me win the bet."
"That girl's voice is really good. I've won the bet."
Lu Huai was writing with his head down. On the plain white paper, there were pure black characters, with sharp strokes. One can tell at a glance that the person who wrote the pen has a cold temperament.
Lu Huai seemed unaware of Shen Jiu's words, he still lowered his head, and the speed of writing did not slow down at all.
Lu Huai naturally knew about the bet between Shen Jiu and Qiao Yun, but Lu Huai knew that Shen Jiu would not lose.
Shen Jiu's nature is very strong, and she has tenacity in doing things. In addition, Shen Jiu and Qiao Liu have a grudge, so of course Shen Jiu will not bow to Qiao Yunsheng.
Besides, he doesn't care who the singer is, whether she sings well or not has nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Lu Huai didn't respond, Shen Jiu gave a smirk and said, "But, guess who accompanied that girl to the interview that day?"
Shen Jiu said softly: "It's actually a little girl's movie."
After a few words, Lu Huai's hand paused almost inaudibly. He raised his head and looked at Shen Jiu.
Lu Huai slowly put down the pen in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Ye Chu went to Metropolis?"
It's about Ye Chu, Shen Jiu knew that Lu Huai would care, he smiled: "You didn't expect that, the little girl and that singer are good friends."
Then, Shen Jiu played with a teacup, and said in a somewhat casual voice, "Lu Huai, little girl asked you out a few days ago, what did you say?"
Lu Huai recalled that day when he pretended to reject Ye Chu. At that time, Ye Chu was not in a hurry, his eyes were very clear, and he replied lightly, saying that it was just a joke, so why should he take it seriously.
Lu Huai suddenly smiled, this little liar never admit defeat, but this stubborn temperament is very interesting.
Lu Huai didn't show any emotion, his voice was flat: "It's nothing."
Shen Jiu raised her eyebrows.
Ye Chu said that she invited Lu Huai to drink tea to thank Lu Huai for his help. According to Ye Chu's temperament, she must give Lu Huai some things.
Shen Jiu asked unwillingly: "Did the little girl give you any present?"
Lu Huai glanced at him and said calmly, "What do you care about so much?"
Shen Jiu didn't believe it, but if Lu Huai didn't tell him, why couldn't he look for it himself? So, Shen Jiu looked around in Lu Huai's study, but found nothing.
Then Shen Jiu turned around outside again, and suddenly, his eyes stopped somewhere.
Shen Jiu often comes to the Governor's Mansion, and Shen Jiu has almost memorized everything in the Governor's Mansion. Shen Jiu remembered that there seemed to be only a can of coffee in that place a while ago.
And now, there's an extra can of coffee.
The can of coffee was beautifully packaged and looked as if it had just been unpacked.
The corners of Shen Jiu's mouth curled up. Could this be a gift from the little girl to Lu Huai?
Shen Jiu ran back to the study and asked with a smile: "Lu Huai, I don't think I've seen a can of coffee before. Who gave it to you?"
Lu Huai's eyes moved slightly, and he said lightly, "It's a gift from a friend."
Shen Jiu thought to himself, as expected, he elongated his tone: "It's a gift from a friend."
Immediately, Shen Jiu said lazily: "I'm a little thirsty now, I want to drink a cup of coffee, Lu Huai, what do you think?"
Lu Huai raised his head and glanced at Shen Jiu, with a half-smile: "Are you sure?"
Shen Jiu always only liked to drink tea, he rarely drank coffee, saying that he was not used to the bitter taste of coffee, and now he said this clearly on purpose.
Shen Jiu's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Of course, my taste has changed recently. I'm getting tired of drinking tea, so I want to change the taste."
"I think the coffee is not bad." Shen Jiu said, "Especially the newly opened can of coffee, it feels very good just looking at it."
Shen Jiu's calculation was very good, it was the coffee that Ye Chu gave Lu Huai.
Lu Huai's expression was dull, and his fingers tapped the table lightly.
He naturally knew why Shen Jiu said that, but Shen Jiu's thoughts were doomed to fail.
At this time, the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in, served two cups of tea to Lu Huai and Shen Jiu, but when she was about to leave, Shen Jiu stopped her.
"You can make me a cup of coffee."
Since Shen Jiu was a frequent visitor to the Governor's Mansion, and Shen Jiu had a very good relationship with Lu Huai, the housekeeper nodded, turned around and left the study, ready to make coffee for Shen Jiu.
Before the housekeeper walked out of the door, Lu Huai's deep voice sounded slowly.
"Use the can on the left."
And the can of coffee beans that Ye Chu sent was just on the right.
Lu Huai was taken aback for a moment, he said the words just now without even thinking about it.
It seems that since Shen Jiu mentioned that he wanted to drink coffee, this idea has been floating in Lu Huai's mind.
Lu Huai's eyes darkened, for some reason, he didn't want Shen Jiu to drink the coffee Ye Chu gave him.
The little liar gave him something, he naturally wanted to taste it, he didn't want to share it with others. What's more, I haven't tasted this coffee a few times myself, so why make Shen Jiu cheaper.
The housekeeper said yes and left.
Seeing Lu Huai's reaction, Shen Jiu showed a playful smile, and said deliberately, "It's just coffee, why are you so stingy."
"You're not willing to give it to me? Could it be a gift from your sweetheart?"
Shen Jiu stared at Lu Huai.
Lu Huai glanced at Shen Jiu, with a half-smile: "You talk too much."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Huai said lightly: "It seems that you have been busy recently, do you want me to find something for you to do?"
Shen Jiu chuckled lightly, but didn't speak.
At this moment, the housekeeper brought up coffee and placed it in front of Shen Jiu. The housekeeper said respectfully, "Master Jiu, the coffee you want."
The coffee was a little hot, and the heat rose slowly, gently brushing against Shen Jiu's cheeks.
Lu Huai raised his chin slightly, motioning for Shen Jiu to drink coffee.
Shen Jiu had a bitter face, he originally wanted to tease Lu Huai, he just casually talked about drinking coffee, he didn't want to really drink it.
But Lu Huai still looked at him, Shen Jiu sighed and drank helplessly. Well, the taste is extremely bitter.
Shen Jiu wanted to cry but had no tears, he had to bite the bullet and get involved in the things he caused.
Lu Huai smiled.
After Shen Jiu left, Lu Huai was still sitting in the study dealing with official business.
At this time, a subordinate knocked on the door and came in with an extremely respectful attitude: "Third Young Master, Qiao Yunsheng hasn't gone to Xinli Middle School these few days."
"No one else approached Miss Ye Chu."
Lu Huai ordered his subordinates to watch over Ye Chu in order to ensure Ye Chu's safety. If there are no special circumstances, the subordinates can report once every few days.
Lu Huai's expression was light: "Yes."
Although Qiao Yunsheng hadn't approached Ye Chu these days, Lu Huai still couldn't relax his vigilance. Qiao Yunsheng is moody, and no one else can guess his thoughts.
Lu Huai's eyes turned cold, and his voice was low: "Keep watching. If Qiao Yunsheng does anything, report it immediately."
The subordinate said respectfully: "Yes, Third Young Master."
Ye Chuqing's beautiful face appeared in Lu Huai's mind. Her skin was fair and pearly.
A very shallow smile appeared on the corner of Lu Huai's mouth, and he suddenly asked, "What is she doing recently?"
The subordinate said: "Today, Miss Ye Chu and the people from Yuan Mansion next door went to the tailor shop on Brown Road to buy clothes."
The faint sunlight falling in from outside the study made the whole room brighter.
Lu Huai listened quietly, his expression was dull, and his eyes softened a bit.
The subordinate continued: "Miss Ye Chu went to a department store to buy clothes yesterday."
Then, the subordinate frowned slightly: "But it's a bit strange, she stayed there alone for a long time."
Lu Huai's eyes focused, and he said lightly: "I see, you go down."
After his subordinates left, Lu Huai leaned on the back of the chair, deep in thought.
Originally, it was very common for girls to love shopping, but Ye Chu actually bought things by himself for so long.
Lu Huai pressed the center of his eyebrows, Ye Chu's behavior was a little abnormal. What was she doing there for so long?
It seems that his little liar has some secrets that he doesn't know.
