After running for who knows how long, when they were about to reach a bamboo forest, they met Lin Ruqian and the others who were returning the same way.

"Bao'er!" Lin Ruqian rushed over in a few steps and grabbed Lin Bao'er with an anxious look on his face, "Where have you been? Are you okay?"

Sun Zi Ce behind him also saw the person on Qin Huyuan's back. His pupils suddenly tightened and he lost his voice, "Xie'er!"

Only Yingdu unified people discovered Qin Huyuan's injuries and quickly asked the soldiers to get medicine.

Sun Xi'er was picked up on his back, and Qin Huyuan was able to breathe and slowly slid to the ground leaning against the tree trunk.

"Miss Sun and the group of people pretending to be officers and soldiers we found in the ruined temple." Qin Huyuan hissed, glanced sideways at the injury on his arm, and frowned, "There were eight people in that group. I killed two people, and the rest would have run away if they hadn’t chased us.”

After hearing what he said, Ying Dutong immediately understood and immediately dispatched a team behind him to search along the road.

"Are there any specific characteristics?" he asked.

Qin Huyuan shook his head, "It's too dark to see clearly."

After hearing this, Ying Dutong had no choice but to give up.

While treating the wound, Qin Huyuan's eyes stayed on Lin Baoer, watching her explain to Lin Ruqian and comfort Sun Ce.

Looking at it this way, Lin Baoer does not look like an ordinary child, but a mature adult. He is smart and courageous, but also rational and cunning. He is cunning and resourceful at the same time. He does not look like a one and a half year old child at all.

Thinking of the thing thrown from her hand before, Qin Huyuan's eyes darkened, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, letting the soldiers treat his wounds.

Since this was a secret that the Lin family had always guarded, there was no need for him to ask, just pretend he didn't know.

"Believe it or not, I will tell my mother if you are so willful next time!" Lin Ruqian narrowed his eyes and threatened, scolding, "What if something goes wrong! Even my ten lives will not be enough to atone for my sin!"

Hearing that he wanted to file a complaint, Lin Baoer's eyes widened suddenly. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Ruqian glared back at her, and she touched her nose with both guilt and guilt.

"I know..." she muttered.

[Bah, bah, bah! Bad third brother! Obviously this is all my fault, okay? If it weren't for me, I don't know if Qin Huyuan would have been able to come back completely! 】

[And that Sun Xier! I didn’t find it yet! If not for me! How can I find someone so quickly! And saved them! Just teach me a lesson! Next time you skip class, I will tell your mother! I won’t help you hide it! snort! 】

Lin Bao'er was furious in her heart. She had no idea that Lin Ruqian had clearly heard what she complained about, and she planned to skip classes in the future and never let this little ancestor stand guard again.

On one side, the big one and the small one each had their own evil intentions. On the other side, Sun Tzu Ce finally felt relieved after seeing that Sun Xi'er was fine.

"It's probably just that I was fainted by the smoke. Don't worry." Ying Dutong patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's not safe here after all. Shall I take you back to the city first?"

Sun Tzu Ce held Sun Xi'er's hand tightly, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and nodded.

It was already after midnight when she returned to the Lin Mansion. Lin Baoer's sneaking behavior was finally scolded. In the end, Lin Ruqian was soft-hearted and said some kind words for his sister, which made Shen Xuelan let her go.

After pitifully returning to the room, Lin Baoer slept until dawn.

What is introspection? She doesn't care!

The Lin Mansion was unusually quiet the next day, perhaps because of the absence of Lin Mobai and Lin Zhiyu, or perhaps because of the incident in the Sun Mansion. In short, not only the Lin Mansion, but the entire Yanjing City fell into a kind of In a weird atmosphere. Some people were worried that the incident in the Sun Mansion would harm themselves, and some people expected the emperor to make an immediate decision on this matter to serve as a warning to others.

It seemed that they were automatically divided into two factions, fighting among themselves.

And everyone in the Lin family, in this atmosphere where everyone was in danger, found the loopholes in this chess game and searched for clues.

In the evening of the next day, Lin Mobai returned to his house in a state of solemnity.

"How's it going, second brother?" Lin Ruqian couldn't help but ask, "Has the person been found?"

In the past two days, although Lin Mobai was searching for someone privately, he almost turned the entire Yanjing City upside down, searching almost like a carpet to find the missing Qi Niang.

Unfortunately, no matter how they searched, they could not find this person. In the end, Lin Mobai almost suspected that this person had already left Yanjing City.

This is not impossible, after all, one day is enough for a person to escape far.

This is also the worst outcome.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better that night.

"Is this the person you found in Mingyanfang?!" Lin Ruqian was shocked.

Lin Mobai nodded and drank the tea in his hand. "She has already changed her name and even her appearance. If it weren't for Xiao Qing, we might not be able to find her."

At that time, they had been looking for someone for a long time but could not find anyone. When they were full of irritability and anxiety, Xiaoqing suddenly walked into Mingyanfang and went straight to the back hall.

In the back hall, they found Qi Niang whose appearance had changed. They found a birthmark on her body that confirmed her identity, and then they determined that she was the owner of Xianle Pavilion.

"Later, the madam from Mingyanfang said that this man was sold into Mingyanfang a few days ago. Because his appearance was damaged, he was thrown into the backyard to boil water and chop wood. There was nothing else out of the ordinary." Lin Mobai She pondered, tapping the armchair with her fingertips, "Later, I bought her back for interrogation. She refused to say anything about the mysterious man who provided Haidongqing. No matter how she was tortured, she refused to let go."

"The only way to prove Hai Dongqing's case is that she is willing to prove that Hai Dongqing made a deal with Sun Tzu Yu."

"Sun Ziyu!" Lin Ruqian suddenly stood up from the chair and slammed the table excitedly, "I knew it was him! Who else in the Sun family would go to Xianle Pavilion to fool around!"

Lin Baoer glanced at him faintly.

[Is Third Brother scolding himself? 】

Lin Ruqian stiffened for a moment and ignored her, "Second brother, does this prove that Hai Dongqing has nothing to do with Brother Sun and the others?"

Lin Mobai shook his head, "She was only verbally willing to prove it, but she couldn't produce the transaction certificate. Although she could also become a witness, she was a little reluctant in the end."

"And we can't explain why Sun Tzu Yu was able to get one thousand taels of gold."

"Furthermore, even if it is confirmed that Sun Tzu Yu is responsible, if he insists that this matter has nothing to do with Brother Sun and his family, then it will be useless. The Sun family will still be implicated."

Lin Ruqian slumped back on the chair, his eyes dull, "Then what should we do? Why does it feel like catching that person is still useless..."
