To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 265 I will accompany you

  Seeing that Luo Sheng was still silent, Wei Han said again: "Don't owe me favors."

  Miss Luo seems to like to settle everything with him clearly.

  This feeling made him unhappy.

  Luo Sheng was upset, but he almost laughed when he heard what Wei Han said.

   It is really rare to see such a real person as King Kaiyang speaks.

   I wonder if he is like this in front of others?

  Luo Sheng hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Du Da went to school to pick up Xiaoqi today, but he didn't pick up anyone. At present, I don't know where Xiaoqi went for fun, or what happened to him."

  For a half-grown boy like Xiaoqi, it is his nature to be playful, and the fact that he didn't meet someone can be big or small.

  As it concerns one person's safety, it is always good to have one more person contribute, and it is worthwhile to owe favors for this.

   "Du Da and Lu Wu have already gone out to look for it, and a few Jinlin Guards have also gone."

   Wei Han slightly raised his eyebrows, thinking that Miss Luo had already discovered Jinlinwei around the restaurant.

  The Jinlin Guards who were hiding in the dark to protect Youjian Restaurant appeared after King Pingnan was assassinated. He thought Miss Luo didn't notice.

   Wei Han bent his lips.

   He took it for granted. Since Miss Luo had noticed Jin Linwei who pretended to be a diner and secretly packaged meals, she found it strange that Jin Linwei was hiding around to protect the restaurant.

   "Then I will send some people to look for it."

   "Thank you, my lord."

  The "thank you" made Wei Han frowned unconsciously, but he didn't say anything, and shouted: "Shi Yan—"

  Shi Yan put down the plate and ran over: "Master, what are your orders?"

   "Go out and talk to Shi Yi, let him lead a team to find Xiao Qi."

   "Yes." Although Shi Yan was shocked by Xiaoqi's disappearance, he was quite calm at this time, and left the restaurant through the back door calmly.

   "Fourth brother." Walking to a big tree, Shi Yan patted the trunk.

  A young man jumped down from the tree with light movements. His appearance was exactly the same as Shi Yan. He was his twin brother Shi Yi.

   "Master asked you to lead a team to find Xiaoqi."

  After Shi Yan explained, he walked back, and as he approached the restaurant, the aroma of food came over him.

  The little guard couldn't help but sighed.

  Compared to him who is the waiter in the shop, the fourth brother who can only squat on the tree every night is really pitiful.

  But there is no way, the master has a keen eye for talents, and he can see that he is more suitable for being a shop assistant and raising geese than the fourth brother.

   "Are you a guy from a restaurant?" came the childish voice.

  Shi Yan paused and looked in the direction of the sound.

   Not far away stood a ten-year-old beggar, his face was dirty and he couldn't see clearly, but his eyes were flexible.

  Shi Yan looked down at the snow-white sweat towel draped over his shoulders, and nodded: "Yes, I am the waiter of a wine shop."

   This little beggar is not from Qingxing Street at first glance.

  As soon as the little beggar heard that Shi Yan had admitted his identity, he rushed over and stuffed a letter into his hand, and hurriedly said: "This letter is for your restaurant cook."

   After saying this, the little beggar ran away.

   A strong force came, pulling the little beggar back in front of Shi Yan.

   "What are you running, follow me back to the bar."

   Normally, he ran away, but now Xiaoqi is missing, and suddenly a messenger came and wanted to run away, so he didn't take him seriously.

  Shi Yan held the little beggar under his arm with one hand, skillfully covered the little beggar's mouth to prevent him from making a sound, and quickly entered the wine shop through the back door.

  When he came to the backyard, Shi Yan let go of his hand, and warned coolly: "Don't shout, you will disturb the guests who came to drink, and I will chop you with an axe."

  The little beggar was about to let go of his throat to call for help, but when he heard this, he suddenly covered his mouth, his small body trembling non-stop.

  What kind of waiter is this, how can he chop someone with an axe?

  Shi Yan glanced at the envelope, and sure enough there was written on it the words "Acknowledged by the chef of a restaurant".

  Just as Xiuyue walked out of the kitchen to breathe, Shi Yan hurriedly said, "Xiu Gu, your letter."

  Xiuyue walked over with a puzzled look on her face: "My letter?"

   "That's right, this little beggar sent it here, and it is specified that it will be handed over to you." Shi Yan handed over the letter, and brought the little beggar in front of him, "Stand still, I will kill you if you move."

  The little beggar was only trembling.

  Xiuyue had already read the letter, her face was as pale as paper.

   "What's wrong?" Shi Yan asked.

  Xiuyue forced a smile: "Please call the girl."

  Shi Yan nodded, glanced at the little beggar, and raised his hand expressionlessly.

  To be on the safe side, let’s knock him unconscious.

  At this moment, Hong Dou came over, and when he saw the little beggar, he couldn't help but gasped: "Why is there a little beggar in the yard?"

  Shi Yan put down his hands: "Hongdou, Gu Xiu is looking for a girl."

  Hong Dou frowned and glanced at Xiuyue, then turned and left.

  Tonight is Xiugu's second time looking for a girl.

  Hongdou came into the lobby, walked to Luo Sheng, and whispered, "Girl, Gu Xiu is looking for you again."

  Luo Sheng stood up and confessed in a low voice: "Here in the lobby, you have greeted Kouer."

   "Don't worry, girl."

  Luo Sheng walked to the back.

   Wei Han thought for a while, put down his glass and followed.

  Hong Dou originally wanted to stop him, but thought that the prince had gone to the backyard to clean his hands not once or twice, so he gave up.

  Luo Sheng followed Xiuyue to the kitchen, leaving Shi Yan to watch the little beggar delivering the letter.

  As soon as she entered the kitchen, Xiuyue hurriedly presented the letter to Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng quickly scanned the letter.

  The letter stated a location, and told Xiuyue to go there alone, otherwise her nephew would be in danger.

   "Girl, Xiao Qi was really taken away." Xiuyue's heart clenched tightly.

  Having been together for so long, she had already regarded that black-faced boy as her own nephew.

  Luo Sheng read the letter again, frowned and said, "Xiu Gu, Xiao Qi's disappearance is all about you."

   "Me?" Xiuyue was taken aback, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Could it be when I was in Nanyang—"

  On the night of the third day of March, she sneaked into the abandoned house of Zhennan Prince's Mansion to burn paper money, and was followed and attacked, which showed that some people had already doubted her identity...

   "It should have nothing to do with those things." Luo Sheng quickly denied Xiuyue's guess.

   It was King Kaiyang who followed Xiuyue. When she prevented King Kaiyang from attacking Xiuyue, Xiuyue ran away and didn't recognize her.

  If King Kaiyang would kidnap Xiao Qi, then it would be impossible to explain why she stood on the sidelines when she attacked King Pingnan.

"The letter specified that the chef of a restaurant should go there, so it can be seen that this matter is aimed at your identity as a cook." Luo Sheng analyzed, with a cold expression, "And your identity as a cook cannot be separated from a restaurant, so in the end After all, this matter is directed at me."

  This situation made her feel more at ease, at least not because of the troubles caused by the exposure of Xiao Qi or Luo Chen's identities.

   "Girl, what should we do next?"

   "Next, I will naturally go there to take a look."

  Luo Sheng walked out of the kitchen and saw Wei Han standing in the courtyard.

   Before she could speak, Wei Han opened his mouth: "I asked, someone gave this beggar money for running errands and let him deliver the letter. Did the letter mention the meeting place?"

  Luo Sheng nodded.

"I go with you."

See you tomorrow.
