Chapter 2358 Bring a Message 20.0
Because they caught Yanyou, an unexpected big fish, Jin Miaomiao personally prepared a very sumptuous midnight snack to reward everyone.

Although there are many types, the portions are not very large, so everyone can have a bite but definitely not eat too much.

Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha who was sipping porridge in small sips, wiped the rice grains from the corner of her mouth, and put a steamed dumpling that he had not eaten on her plate.

"Brother?" Shen Cha looked at the steamed dumpling, then at Shen Haolin, "You don't want to eat it?"

"I'm full. Eat now! You've had a busy night. I guess you're starving." Shen Haolin smiled at her, wiped her mouth, and said, "What's the situation with Hu Shang now?"

"Hu Shang? Harlem?" Seeing Shen Haolin nod, Shen Cha sighed softly and said, "Nothing happened. I was just hungry for two days. Now I'm full and energetic again."

"His goods weren't lost?"

"No." Shen Cha shook his head gently. "Our brothers have checked, and they are all intact. Because they are spices, they are well preserved, and they are not missing any weight. After all, Yanyou's goal is to let Hallam bring himself and his men into the city, not to rob. Hallam and his goods are of no use to him."

"Xiaocha means that he plans to ask this Hallam how he provoked this Yanyou, how he was held hostage by him, and why he was so obedient and brought him into the city."

Hongye quickly snatched two meatballs from Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing's bowls. Seeing them glaring at her, she shook her head triumphantly and swallowed the meatballs arrogantly. However, she didn't expect that the meatballs made by Jin Miaomiao were so solid that she choked and rolled her eyes.

"You deserve it!" Seeing her like this, Xue Ruitian hurried over to pat her on the back, asking her to spit out the meatball, and then handed her a cup of tea, "You got it for free! What does it mean when happiness turns to sorrow? This is it!"

"Look everyone! Cough cough cough cough cough. What is kicking someone when he's down? This is it!" Hongye coughed for a long time and drank two sips of tea before she recovered. "This meatball is so solid, it can be used as a hidden weapon!"

"Didn't you say last time that you complained that the meatballs I made weren't firm enough? Now that they are firm enough, you feel choking again!" Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows. "This is to tell you that when you eat, no matter how anxious you are, you have to take small bites. If you swallow a meatball this big in one gulp, who else would you choke? Do you think you are one of those big pythons in the forest who can swallow a pheasant in one gulp? Be careful!"

"Hey, big sister!" Jin Jing patted Hongye's shoulder, "You said that you tortured yourself like this just to piss off me and the Marquis. How unworthy! This is called hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred. Do you understand?"

"Stop making sarcastic remarks!" Lu Shengyuan looked at Hongye, couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry!"

"Old Lu is really kind, unlike you guys who just like to watch the fun." Hongye rolled her eyes and looked at Shen Cha, "When are you going?" "Where? To see Hallam? No rush!" Shen Cha put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Let's talk about it in the morning. He must have been very anxious these two days, afraid that Yanyou would kill him if he was unhappy. Now that I have finally escaped from danger, I have to get a good night's sleep. It won't be too late to ask him tomorrow morning."

"It's not that important how he was targeted. We know Yanyou pretty well, don't we?" Jin Jing spread her hands. "As long as he can use him, he's the best candidate."

"You mean, he picked Hallam at random?"

"That's about what I mean!" Jin Jing nodded. "You see, he has to choose to go into the city with the Hu merchants, but he can't choose those who come here often. He has to choose those who don't have much contact with us, or those who come here for the first time, right? There shouldn't be many who meet this condition. He is lucky to meet someone like Harlem who comes here for the first time. Otherwise, he would have to wait for several days!"

"What's wrong with choosing a frequent visitor?" Hongye poked the meatball with her chopsticks again. This time, she didn't dare swallow it all at once. She nibbled on it in small bites, saying, "A frequent visitor doesn't need any registration or inspection."

"The frequent merchants have fixed followers and guards. If new ones are replaced, we will also check them. Moreover, he doesn't know whether these frequent merchants have any secret codes or signals with us. If he holds them hostage, he may not even be able to enter the city gate and be caught. He may not be caught, but his plan will definitely fail." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows at Hongye, "So, after weighing the pros and cons, choosing a stranger is the safest, and the one who is most likely to avoid accidents."

"I see." Merlin said as he ate a bun. "The two brothers who were in charge of guarding the gate and taking registrations said that Hallam winked at them, telling them that there was something wrong with his followers. The brother guarding the city gate also received this hint and wanted to talk to Hallam alone, but Yanyou stayed with him all the time and didn't give him any chance, so he had to give up."

"That's right." Shen Cha snapped his fingers. "They also said that they were worried that something might go wrong, so they sent people to follow. When they saw that everything was normal, they withdrew their people. But I didn't expect that even so, they still fell into Yanyou's trap."

"We can't help it. Our people can't get in because of what happened in the house. If they can notify the Shadow Camp, there might be a way. But they think it's okay, so..." Merlin shrugged helplessly, "But it's good this way. Boss, you've been choosing someone to deliver the letter to Master Falian, and no one seems to be suitable. Yanyou is the best candidate. Master Falian doesn't trust others, so he will definitely trust him. Besides..." She raised her eyebrows, "If Yanyou takes the things back to him, he will be much more useful than those killers."

Shen Cha nodded towards Meilin, indicating that she agreed with her.

Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, who could hardly open her eyes, and couldn't help but smile and patted her arm.

"Would you like to get some sleep?"

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I've been busy all night and it'll be dawn soon. I'll have a good sleep after I'm done with my work." Shen Cha tried hard to open his eyes and looked at Shen Haolin. "I'll just take a nap for a while, it will be fine in a while!"
