Wishful Things

Sensing her gaze, Wu Chao looked over and said to her, "I'll let you know when I sort out the situation."

Xu Mingyi managed to regain his senses.

He had always done this before, and whenever he found something, he would always tell her immediately, and every time he did what he said.

But... I don't know if it was because Wu Chao was right in front of her at this moment, but for a moment just now, she had an inexplicably strange sense of coincidence in her heart.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she looked at him with strange eyes, Wu Chao asked puzzled.

"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something from the past..."

The girl's eyes kept fixed on her face when she spoke, and Wu Chao's brows and eyes softened a lot unconsciously—so, did he think of the past with him?

He will also often recall the things that happened when he first met her.

Every time I think about it, I always feel that I was stupid and in need of a beating at that time.

"Wu Chao—" the girl called out to him.

"Um?"

"I will also investigate—" she said with serious eyes, "I will help you find out the inside story of your family arranging your suspended animation."

Maybe she can think of more clues...

Based on the scattered information from the previous life...

After Wu Chao was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help smiling.

Sure enough, I was still thinking about him.

"Okay, let's check together." The young man said in a cheerful tone, as if he no longer felt that it was a particularly heavy topic because of the unknown.

Even if he didn't think that he, as the Wu family, couldn't find out things for a while, Xu Mingyi could really find out something.

But he is very willing to accept this kind of intention.

"And one more thing--"

Xu Mingyi temporarily put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind that he couldn't sort out at the moment, and asked him: "I heard that when Linfutang was attacked by assassins last night, someone took the risk to save you and was injured?"

"There is such a thing."

"I also heard that this person is actually a staff member of Ji Xiu's residence—"

This is what she heard this morning.

"I've also heard about this." Wu Chao said, "This person may be the one I mentioned to you earlier, the staff member in the Shangshu's mansion who has a strange identity and has never shown his face in front of others."

That is to say, the mysterious person who advised Ji Xiu many times.

The reason why Xu Mingyi asked on purpose was obviously because he had thought of this point. At this time, he asked again: "You were there last night? Can you see the age and appearance of that person clearly?"

The grandfather was there at the time, but the grandfather had no impression of this person. He only knew that there was such a person. Because the situation was chaotic at that time, the grandfather was fighting with the assassin, so he could not pay attention to the so-called rescuer.

It is said that after the man was shot by the arrow, he fell down and was helped away. When the grandfather was only thinking about how to save the light, he didn't stay long after the incident.

"This person rushed out from my side at that time, and his purpose was very clear." Wu Chao recalled, "It was a very young man, not slow in skill, and he looked like a scholar."

Not slow, young, scholar?

Hearing these descriptions, Xu Mingyi's fingers holding the teacup tightened immediately, and immediately asked, "Is the appearance also somewhat gentle and handsome?"

Gentle and handsome?

Wu Chao subconsciously frowned, thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's okay."

After all, he has never had a clear understanding of people's appearance, including himself, and if he is asked to describe a person's appearance, he will usually choose to give an example similar to it——

"It's the same appearance as the second master of your mansion."

Xu Mingyi's eyes completely changed.

She put down the teacup, stood up and said, "I'm going to meet this person."

Wu Chao got up and asked seriously, "But what's the problem?"

Xu Mingyi tried his best to restrain the turbulence in his heart, and said in a concentrated voice: "This person is most likely Zhan Yunzhu—"

Earlier, she vaguely felt that the staff in Ji Xiu's mansion behaved a little familiarly...

Furthermore, the so-called rescue act last night was very similar to what Zhan Yunzhu would do!

And the voice she heard talking to Ji Wanyou in the garden before... Maybe she didn't hear it wrong at all!

And if it is really Zhan Yunzhu, then all of this can be matched, including her increasingly strong intuition during this period of time...

"Zhan Yunzhu?" Wu Chao frowned slightly: "You mean he has been hiding in Ji Xiu's mansion since his death—"

"This is how I guess right now." Xu Mingyi was eager to seek confirmation: "Whether it's him or not, you'll know when you see it."

Wu Chao hesitated for a moment, but finally raised his hand to stop her.

"Don't worry."

Xu Mingyi looked up at him.

"At this time, people are placed in Linfu Hall, so it is not appropriate to go there rashly. And if it is really him, then his purpose of saving him this time must be to take this opportunity to return to the eyes of the world with his original identity—whether he is right or not, the answer will be known soon."

After hearing these words, Xu Mingyi's eyes gradually calmed down.

Wu Chao was right, there was no need to worry about this matter.

It was she who suddenly had this guess, subconsciously still felt that if she went too late, Zhan Yunzhu would run away again, so she was somewhat impulsive.

This is absolutely impossible.

Even though she knew that the existence of Zhan Yunzhu seemed to be a demon in her previous life, the more so, the more she needed to face it calmly.

"Don't worry, I will let people keep an eye on him." Wu Chao said, "People will also pay attention to the movement in Linfu Hall and report it to you at any time."

Xu Mingyi's mood had calmed down, so he nodded and said "OK".

...

At the same moment, in the study room of Ji Xiu's residence, a young girl's eager voice came faintly.

"Father, just let me go and see Mr. Zhan, my daughter is really worried about him..."

"You, a daughter who has not been out of the court, ran to Linfutang to see a man at this time. How can you do it in front of everyone? Wan'er, this is not in our own house." Ji Xiu sighed: "There are so many people talking, and my father is also thinking about your reputation."

"But sooner or later, my daughter will also..." Ji Wanyou swallowed her father's gaze in the middle of her words.

Even so, Ji Xiu guessed the remaining half of the words.

"Wan'er, until now, are you still unwilling to give up?"

Give up?

Ji Wanyou's expression was slightly startled: "Didn't father say that there is no danger to Zhan Gongzi's life?"

"He is so good at calculating, how can he let his life be in danger, I am afraid that even the position when blocking the arrow is carefully calculated." Ji Xiu sneered: "Not to mention the matter of saving him--"

This time he was careless.

He should have seen this person's ambition long ago, so he shouldn't have brought him here this time - once this person had the possibility to get close to the emperor, even if there was no assassination last night, the other party would definitely find other opportunities to express himself.

This kind of person will never let go of any chance to climb up!
