Chapter 65 The Super Efficient Crow's Mouth

"All right!"

Ye Fanyin moved all the food boxes to the table in the living room, "I'll put them out when my sister comes back soon, so that they don't get cold."

Saying that, Ye Fanyin sat expectantly at the table and waited for Ye Yinghuo to come home.

However, an hour later.

It's already afternoon.

Ye Fanyin looked at the sky outside, her expression was a little uneasy, "Why... sister hasn't come back yet?"

Mumbling, Ye Fanyin couldn't help thinking about what happened to her and Ye Yinghuo before, especially what Ye Shouli said to Ye Baiou back then.

"No, I have to go out and have a look!"

Ye Fanyin stood up from her seat suddenly, she was too disturbed, she quickly left Ye's house and walked outside.

However, in her haste, she didn't realize that all her actions were captured by a pair of secretly peeping eyes...

Coming to the street, Ye Fanyin, who was wearing a veil to cover her face, mixed among the crowd, and came to the inn closest to the East City Gate. Based on the route Ye Yinghuo came and went, she should return to Baicao City from here.

Today, the business of the inn seems to be extremely hot. When Ye Fanyin came, there were no seats in the lobby. Fortunately, she was lucky. Just after she came, there was a table of guests who checked out and left. She quickly took the seat and invited the waiter to order a side dish , Pretending to be an ordinary diner sitting in a relatively remote part of the hall eating, but listening to the surrounding conversations with keen ears.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or something, but 90.00% of the people sitting in the lobby eating today are male customers. Many people's eyes are twinkling, as if they have other purposes.

After a while, the guests at the table near Ye Fanyin seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. One of the men asked his companion, "Are you sure that Ye Yingzhuo will really pass by this afternoon? Why hasn't he appeared yet! I I've been guarding here for half a day!"

"I also heard the news from others." The man's companion was also a little anxious, "Everyone says that, can't it be fake?"

"Wait a little longer, it's hard to get a chance to see the beauty, don't give up just because you're impatient!" Another companion said, with a longing look on his face.

Not far from them, Ye Fanyin took a sip of tea, his eyes revealing deep thought.

"Everyone...does that say that?" Ye Fanyin murmured in a voice only he could hear.

At this time, she seemed to have guessed something, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She got up and called Xiaoer to pay the bill, and then left the inn.

As soon as she left, another group of men quickly took her original place, looking expectant. It was conceivable that they heard the news and planned to come over to guard her.

"Ye Fanyin, why did you leave like this?"

Taotie noticed that Ye Fanyin had left the inn, and it was a little strange, "Aren't you looking for your sister? What time is it?"

"No, my sister will be fine." Ye Fanyin replied, "I was too impatient and made a mistake. My sister will not come back at this time—probably not from the east gate."

Hearing this, Taotie couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "Why?"

After a pause, Taotie was a little flustered, it hurriedly said: "Can you guess what happened to your sister?"

"What are you talking about! How unlucky." Ye Fanyin couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and she said, "I guessed my sister's little thoughts."

"Be careful?"

Hearing this, Taotie was stunned again, "What do you mean? Stop playing charades, I'm dying of anxiety!"

Taotie couldn't guess what Ye Fanyin was talking about, its curiosity could kill the cat.

"Sister is a very cautious person. It is impossible to reveal the time of her return so easily, let alone the precise time of day, so that everyone in the city will know."

Ye Fanyin jumped anxiously when she saw Taotie, she smiled and told the truth, "With my sister's popularity in Baicao City, the exposure of this news will definitely cause some people with evil intentions to come and guard, my sister can guess of."

"But now the news has been exposed." Taotie said involuntarily.

Seeing that Taotie hadn't turned the corner yet, Ye Fanyin raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said the news was leaked—it's true?"

Ye Fanyin made the words so clear, if Taotie couldn't understand, it would be a fool.

"You mean..." Tao Tie's eyes widened in surprise, "The news that your sister came back today is likely to be false?!"

"I'm not sure if my sister will come back today." Ye Fanyin said, "But it's definitely not the hour as rumored, and she won't come back from the East City Gate."

"Who is so wicked to reveal this kind of fake news? If your sister doesn't come back today, wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to wait?" Taotie said with some complaints.

Ye Fanyin smiled calmly when she heard the words, and she said: "It may be that the fake news revealed by my sister confuses people's attention, so as not to attract people's attention, or it may be that others really know the time of my sister's return and spread it. Changed the time back."

As soon as Taotie heard that it might be false news from Ye Yingzhuo, it swallowed, and hurriedly said: "... I didn't say what I said just now."

Ye Fanyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry seeing Taotie's cowardice, she said: "Nine times out of ten, someone else did it. My sister will not be bored to release such fake news, it will only push her to the top of public opinion."

While talking with Taotie, Ye Fanyin walked towards Ye's house, regardless of whether Ye Yinghuo came back today, she still planned to wait, if she couldn't come back today, she would leave when it was dark.

As she walked, Ye Fanyin's ears moved, as if she heard something, she subconsciously looked towards an alley on the side of the street, where two people were sneaking into it.

"Just now they... mentioned sister?"

Ye Fanyin was sure that she heard correctly just now, hesitated for two seconds, and quickly followed.

Drilling into the alley, Ye Fanyin kept a certain distance from the two people in front.

"Ye Fanyin, what are you doing?" Taotie didn't know what was going on outside, but felt that Ye Fanyin's movements suddenly became a little cautious. This is usually a state that only appears when stalking people or fighting, so it immediately Found something wrong.

"I just heard that two guys dressed as local ruffians mentioned my sister, and then sneaked into an alley by the side of the street. I felt something was wrong, so I followed to have a look." Ye Fanyin replied mentally.

Hearing this, Taotie couldn't help saying: "Hey, don't just go to places where no one is around, what should you do if you encounter some kind of trap?"

As soon as Taotie finished speaking, he saw two people in front of him disappearing at the corner of the alley. Seeing this, Ye Fanyin quickly stepped forward and followed.

However, when she just stepped on the corner with one foot, a sense of crisis rose from the bottom of her heart, and subconsciously, Ye Fanyin withdrew her foot.

At this moment, a sharp big knife cut down from behind the corner wall!
If Ye Fanyin hadn't taken back that kick just now, her foot would have been chopped off!

"Taotie."

Ye Fanyin retreated suddenly, and suddenly called Taotie's name.

"...Huh?" Taotie hadn't recovered from the fright of the knife just now.

"You might as well stop calling him Taotie, it's more appropriate to call him Crow."

Ye Fanyin looked at the dozen or so people rushing out from the corner, and suddenly had a terrible headache, "Look at your crow's mouth—can it be more effective?!"
