Lu Huai saw that he was about to come to this corner.
Ye Chu was already mentally prepared to be discovered. She squeezed her hands and pinched her nails into the flesh.
At this moment, Ye Chu suddenly heard an extremely loud voice. The person hurriedly, sounded extremely nervous and a little flustered.
"Three young masters!"
Lu Huai's pace was stopped.
Footsteps sounded from the other end of the corridor, and the man hurriedly trot towards Luhuai. After stopping in front of Lu Huai, he lowered his voice and spoke.
"The guard on the fifth floor was knocked out!" This person happened to come to change shifts, but found that the original guard was missing. After looking for a bit, he saw that the guard was leaning on the inside of the corridor and was in a coma.
Adjutant Zhou was shocked, but Lu Huai was calm.
Lu Huai reacted quickly: "Don't say anything."
Lu Huai glanced at Adjutant Zhou: "Go and see if there is any suspicious person."
He then said to another person: "You follow me up."
On this day, there are many people in the Peace Hotel. If it were to block the exit directly, it would be equivalent to knowing that something happened here, which was too reckless.
Therefore, this matter must be dealt with in a low-key manner.
The footsteps of the three people got farther and farther, and they quickly left the corridor on the third floor. Adjutant Zhou went downstairs, and Lu Huai and the guards went upstairs.
Ye Chu heard them very clearly. The voice of their conversation was right next to him, indicating that as long as Lu Huai took one step, she would be spotted.
She looked down, her palms were already sweating.
Fortunately, Lu Huai had already left, Ye Chu's heart loosened, and his whole body relaxed. She poked her head slightly, and there was no one in the corridor now.
She has to leave as soon as possible.
Ye Chu immediately started and walked downstairs to the lobby of the Peace Hotel. She passed through the crowded crowd and exited the door smoothly.
"Liu Ye Qiao is not reasonable, and you are not reasonable. You are really from Hongmen."
"Stop talking so much nonsense, in Hongmen, Master Qiao makes sense!"
"..."
Ye Chu heard the dispute coming from behind, and the person bullied by Hongmen was still very upset. After leaving the Peace Hotel, Qiao Liu's people began to become arrogant again.
She glanced, saw Adjutant Zhou leading someone to check at the nearby intersection, and then turned and walked in the other direction.
After turning a few intersections, Ye Chu stopped a rickshaw.
Ye Chu got on the rickshaw and said to the driver: "Yong'an Department Store."
Before the rickshaw arrived, she placed another bloated coat that she had bought on the outside of her current suit, and walked into Yongan Department Store blatantly.
After a while, Ye Chu had changed into the same clothes he had when he went out, and walked out carrying a large bag.
She tickled the corner of her mouth and returned to the Ye Mansion.
…
On the other end, Lu Huai had already gone upstairs with the guards. The guard who was knocked out had woke up leisurely, looking in a trance, not knowing where he was.
Lu Huai quickly stepped into the room. As soon as he opened the door lock, he saw a note on the ground, which fell there quietly.
The three words above are very familiar, "good-hearted person".
Somehow, Lu Huai's expression loosened. He leaned over, picked up the note, and took it into his hand, with a bit of care already in his mind.
He turned to look at the guard and asked.
Lu Huai asked, "Do you see the person's appearance?"
The guard was guilty: "The man came too fast, I didn't find him."
This was within Lu Huai's expectation: "I see, you can go down."
The door was closed, and only Lu Huai was left in the room. Slender fingers stretched out the piece of paper, and it was another Morse code.
After seeing the above, Lu Huai frowned.
It turned out that the Overseer was about to encounter an ambush.
Lu Huai put away the note, tapping the table with his fingers lightly.
This person knows where the crisis will happen every time, and tries his best to inform him, what is the intention
It's the second Saturday of every month. In the crowded Heping Hotel, the man risked being discovered and came to send him a message.
It seems that good-hearted people not only know their whereabouts well, but even the structure of a place like the Peace Hotel is very clear.
He became more and more curious about the true identity of this person.
However, the most important thing at the moment is to investigate the matter on the note.
…
Ye Chu returned to the Ye Mansion, and his mood suddenly became relaxed. She knew that although Lu Huai was dubious, he would definitely need to investigate such an important matter.
Ye Chu understood the origin of her worries, and now that it has been resolved, she is no longer nervous.
She rarely had a good night's sleep that night.
The next day was Sunday. Ye Chu was resting at home. Taking advantage of the time now, Ye Chu read a book in the room for a while.
The door was knocked, Ye Chu's eyes were still staring at the book, and he didn't lift his head: "Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and Ye Chu looked up at her mother Su Lan.
As soon as Su Lan saw Ye Chu's posture, she knew she had interrupted Ye Chu, and said, "Excuse me, A Chu reading, you continue to read, I will go out first."
She knew that Ye Chu was very busy because the school had an exam recently.
Ye Chu immediately stood up from the desk, went to his mother's side, and pulled her into position: "Mother, what is this talking about? I just looked at it casually, and it didn't get in the way."
"Mother came to me, is there something wrong?" Ye Chu looked at Su Lan with a smile.
Sulan almost forgot what she wanted to say: "Do you still remember the Yuan boss family next door? They came back from England yesterday."
Ye Chu certainly remembered that Boss Yuan was their neighbor, and the two couples had three children in total.
Because Boss Yuan runs a silver account, and for good luck, the nicknames of their three children are all related to money. They are Ah Jin, Ah Yin, and Ah Tong.
A year ago they said that they were going to stay with relatives in the UK for a period of time. Boss Yuan would take a look at the new business opportunities.
Boss Yuan's family and Ye Chu have been neighbors for a long time, and they are naturally very familiar. It can be said that Ye Chu played with Ajin, Ayin, and Atong until they were big.
Ye Chu nodded: "No wonder there were a lot of noises outside yesterday. It turned out that Boss Yuan's family moved back. I haven't seen them for so long, but I miss them a lot."
Su Lan said, "I came here to tell you about this. Mrs. Yuan made an appointment with me yesterday. We will gather together today. I just don't know if you have time."
Ye Chu naturally agreed.
The agreed time has come, because they have been friends for many years, Su Lan and Ye Chu both just dressed up.
As soon as Ye Chu and Su Lan walked to the door, they heard the loud voice of Boss Yuan's family.
"I clearly put a big ocean on the table before going to bed last night. It was gone this morning. Did you steal it?"
As soon as I heard this voice, I knew that it was Mrs. Yuan, she was full of anger and violent temper. In addition, his voice was already loud, but now that he was emotionally excited, his voice became louder.
Mrs. Yuan and Boss Yuan have headaches if they don't quarrel for a day, and Mrs. Yuan now remembers this incident when he leaves the house. Although they are rich, they care a lot about an ocean on weekdays.
She will not be sloppy about money. Yesterday, after she finished shopping, she put the change on the table. She didn't expect it to be gone this morning. It wasn't the boss Yuan who committed the crime.
"Hush." Boss Yuan hurriedly stopped. "You keep your voice down and save me some face. You must have forgotten it elsewhere."
"Don't, don't slap your face." Boss Yuan yelled quickly, and Mrs. Yuan dropped the hand that had just been raised.
Gold, silver and bronze just followed, seeing this scene, although the two people in front of them were arguing, but they were used to it.
Ah Yin said, "Mother, didn't you buy snacks for the ocean yesterday? Did you remember it wrong."
A Yin is the only girl among the three children, and the smartest of the three. The other two have relatively simple temperaments.
However, the relationship between the three is extremely harmonious, and the family does not need to distinguish between you and me.
Boss Yuan and Mrs. Yuan always talked about handing over their silver accounts to Ah Yin. If they fall into the hands of the other two stupid sons, they must be run into a mess.
So what Ah Yin said is still very important.
"Yeah, I forgot all about it." Mrs. Yuan patted her head, turned her head to comfort the wronged boss Yuan, "Little Yuanbao, I was joking with you just now, you must not take it seriously."
Yes, Yuan Boss’ real name is Yuan Bao. That's right, it's still extremely fearful.
Boss Yuan's voice was the same as that of a mosquito, and he hummed twice, almost inaudible.
"A Chu!" Yuan's wife Yu Guang found Ye Chu and called her name all at once. Mrs. Yuan pushed Kaiyuan boss two steps forward.
"A Chu has grown up so old. I haven't seen him in a year. She is really a big girl." Mrs. Yuan looked at Ye Chu's growth and regarded Ye Chu as her own child.
"Mrs. Ye is good." Boss Yuan returned to a modest and polite look, and greeted Su Lan.
The three men of gold, silver and bronze saw Ye Chu's eyes light up, and they immediately surrounded Ye Chu in prison.
The gold, silver and bronze trio and Ye Chu hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they wanted to ride in the same car with Ye Chu, and let Mrs. Yuan and Su Lan be in the same car, and they would be in the same car with Ye Chu.
There were only four people in the car, and the three people of Jin, Yin and Bronze and Ye Chu happened to be full of seats.
After some discussion, they decided to split their troops. Mrs. Yuan went to have tea with Su Lan, and Jin Yintong went shopping with Ye Chu.
This suggestion was made by A Yin. It is inevitable that girls like to go shopping, and it is also great to let the brother and brother carry something when shopping.
Of course Mrs. Yuan and Su Lan had no objection. The two pedestrians separated at the gate of Ye Mansion and left in their respective directions by car.
A Jin and A Tong are only used to carry things, they only need to accompany Ye Chu and A Yin to go shopping.
Ye Chu and the others walked into a clothing store, and they bought a lot of new clothes, including many new winter coats.
Ah Yin didn't choose any clothes in this store. Ye Chu picked a red jacket and asked the boss to take it off. Ye Chu touched the clothes. The material was average, but the style was okay.
Ye Chu's mother would give her a lot of pocket money, so Ye Chu was never short of money. Seeing that this dress was pleasing to the eye, she planned to buy it.
"Miss, your vision is really good. This dress is imported. Have you ever been to the UK? This dress is purchased from the UK. There is only one piece in Shanghai."
When the boss looked at Ye Chu, she felt that she was young and her face was immature, and she must have not experienced too much.
But looking at the clothes Ye Chu was wearing, she knew that her family was in good condition, and everything on her body was high-end goods, and she was a rich man.
If he could flip his lips, give a good compliment, fabricate something else, then wait until Ye Chu likes this dress and raise the price, she would not buy it obediently.
While the boss said the price, he waved his hands and said that it is not expensive or not. The imported clothes are all these prices.
When Ye Chu heard this, she knew that the boss was telling lies, but she didn't reveal him, but stopped with her purse hand.
"Hold on." Ye Chu took out his wallet and his hand was stagnant, and was held by Ah Yin on the side.
"Boss, I think the price is a bit too high. It should be cut in half." A Yin walked to the counter and said to the boss.
The boss's heart was tense, but he thought about it, these little girls must have never seen the world, and they were raised in the family.
Even if he lied, how could they tell.
A Yin's eyes were so harsh that he could tell the cautious thoughts of others at a glance.
Ah Yin will not tolerate this kind of kidnapping. The price has increased by more than half, and the price she cuts by half is still a cheap boss.
The boss smiled and said: "Our shop is doing conscientious transactions, and the price is absolutely fair."
The boss picked up the clothes and held them in front of them: "This material is good first-class. I never lie. Seeing that you are little girls, I haven't said some of the price."
Hearing these words from the boss, Ye Chu had lost interest in this dress, and the boss took them as a fool when he saw it.
Ye Chugang wanted to say no more, and A Yin strode forward with a look of disbelief and went to the ground to check, and reached out to touch the material of the clothes.
A Yin's hand rubbed his clothes for a few times, and it became clear in an instant: "You said the clothes were imported from Britain?"
The boss nodded: "Of course."
Does this little girl think that she can know the place of origin of this fabric by just touching it with her hands? It is impossible to think about it.
A Yin curled his mouth and shook his head: "I don't think so, this material is clearly made in Sichuan."
"This material looks like rain silk cotton, don't look at the pattern on the top is different from ordinary rain silk cotton, but in terms of touch and lines, it is impossible to be imported from the UK."
A Yin looked up at the boss: "Boss, this is your fault. I have no problem with your clothes being expensive. Since we are not old, we can just fabricate the facts at will. It seems impossible to justify."
There were a lot of customers in the store, and they all looked over here one after another. Unexpectedly, he would be exposed by a little girl who was experienced, and the boss suddenly became anxious.
"What do you know? I have sold clothes for so many years, and I know more things than you. I said that this is imported from Britain and it is from Britain. You can speak carefully!"
The boss's voice was loud, his tone was a lot more aggressive, and he looked aggressive, as if A Yin didn't change his mind and he would never stop.
Ye Chu and A Jin and A Tong behind him took a few steps forward at the same time and stood in front of A Yin. The four of them just stared at the boss.
Ye Chu knew that A Yin was capable and would not suffer from his boss. If the boss wanted to do something to A Yin, she wouldn't allow it.
Ah Yin poked his head out and said calmly: "I have been taught by my mother to look at fabrics since I was a child. These fabrics are the most common, and I can't admit it wrong."
In order to prevent Ah Yin from being taken advantage of by others and deceived by others, Mrs. Yuan started to teach her various things very early. As long as it involves money, she can teach it.
Looking at the fabrics is just a trivial matter. If Ah Yin was cheated of money when buying clothes, he would lose a lot of money.
The money in the family has to be saved in such a small amount. It is not without these reasons that the boss of Yuan's family is so rich.
The boss swept around to see the lively guests, angrily: "Even if you say that the fabric is produced in Sichuan, then you haven't been to the UK, how can you know if you can make a mistake."
Ah Yin pretended to be innocent: "I just came back from the UK yesterday. When I lived in the UK, I visited all the famous local clothes shops. I thought that the boss made a mistake."
Previously, the boss thought that Ah Yin could not refute this time, but he did not expect that Ah Yin's answer would deal a greater blow to him.
This time he really has nothing to say.
Once again escaped someone who wanted to lie to her for money. A Yin pulled Ye Chu out of the clothing store with satisfaction. The two older brothers followed closely behind him.
Ye Chu and A Yin went shopping again. In order to reward Ah Yin who had worked so hard, Ye Chu bought a small gift secretly when Ah Yin was not paying attention, which happened to be his favorite.
Of course the other two have a share.
When the car took them home, Ye Chu gave Ah Yin a surprise. Sure enough, Ye Chu got a big hug.
The three of Jin, Yin and Bronze have always been Ye Chu's friends. A Jin and A Tong have simple temperaments, no scheming, and easy to get along with.
And Ah Yin is smart, calm in the face of things, and sincere to his friends. After meeting with Ah Yin once, Ye Chu was in a good mood all day long.
…
However, in the Overseer’s Mansion, there were people who were very busy.
Lu Huai had already told Lu Zongting about the assassination. After the two discussed, they decided to make preparations first.
Therefore, they settled a countermeasure in a short time. Lu Zongting made perfect preparations, and only waited for those people to throw themselves into the net.
Lu Huai was busy all night, but Shen Jiu slept well.
He came to the Warlord’s Mansion in high spirits to tell Lu Huai about his bet with Qiao Liu.
Shen Jiu leaned back lazily on the back of the chair with a leisurely expression: "A few days ago, I found a girl who can help me win the bet."
"The girl has a really good voice, I'm sure to win this bet."
Lu Huai was lowering his head to write something. On the plain white paper, there were pure black characters, and the writing was sharp. You can tell at a glance that this person who writes the pen has a cold temperament.
Lu Huai hadn't noticed what Shen Jiu said, but he still lowered his head, and the speed of pen writing remained unchanged.
Lu Huai naturally knew about Shen Jiu's bet with Qiao Yun, but Lu Huai knew that Shen Jiu would not lose.
Shen Jiu has a strong nature, and he has a sense of tenacity in doing things. In addition, Shen Jiu and Qiao Liu have feuds. Of course, Shen Jiu will not bow to Qiao Yunsheng.
Besides, he doesn't care who the showgirl is, it doesn't matter whether she sings well or not.
Shen Jiu caught a glimpse of Lu Huai and didn't respond. He smirked a few times and said, "But, guess who accompanied that girl to the interview that day?"
Shen Jiu said softly: "It's actually a little girl movie."
With a few faint words, Lu Huai's hand paused almost inaudibly. He raised his head and looked at Shen Jiu.
Lu Huai slowly put down the pen in his hand, his voice low: "Ye Chu went to the metropolis?"
Regarding Ye Chu, Shen Jiu knew that Lu Huai would care, and he smiled: "You didn't expect it, the little girl and the singer girl are good friends."
Then, Shen Jiu played with a teacup, with a somewhat casual voice: "Lu Huai, the little girl asked you out a few days ago. What did you say?"
Lu Huai remembered that he pretended to reject Ye Chu that day. At that time, Ye Chu was not in a hurry, his eyes were very clear, and he replied indifferently, saying that it was just a joke, why take it seriously.
Lu Huai smiled suddenly, this little liar always refused to admit defeat, but this stubborn temper was particularly interesting.
Lu Huai's emotions did not show up, his voice was faint: "It's nothing."
Shen Jiu raised his eyebrows.
Ye Chu said that she invited Lu Huai to drink tea to thank Lu Huai for his help. According to Ye Chu's temperament, she must give Lu Huai something.
Shen Jiu asked unwillingly, "Did the little girl give you any gifts?"
Lu Huai glanced at him, with a faint expression: "What do you care about so much."
Shen Jiucai didn't believe it, and Lu Huai didn't tell him, couldn't he find it by himself. So Shen Jiu looked around in Lu Huai's study and found nothing.
Then Shen Jiu turned around again, suddenly, his eyes stopped somewhere.
Shen Jiu often came to the Warlord’s Mansion. Shen Jiu remembered almost everything in the Warlord’s Mansion.
And now, there is an extra pot of coffee there.
The can of coffee is very beautifully packaged, and it looks like it hasn't been opened for a long time.
The corners of Shen Jiu's mouth curled up. This would not be a gift from the little girl to Lu Huai.
Shen Jiu ran back to the study and asked with a smile: "Lu Huai, I don't seem to have seen a can of coffee before, who gave you it?"
Lu Huai's eyes moved slightly, and he said lightly: "From a friend."
Shen Jiu thought, as expected, he stretched his tone: "It was given by a friend."
Immediately, Shen Jiu spoke lazily: "I am a little thirsty now and want to have a cup of coffee, Lu Huai, what do you think?"
Lu Huai raised his head and glanced at Shen Jiu, with a faint smile, "Are you sure?"
Shen Jiu has always only liked tea. He rarely drinks coffee, saying that he is not accustomed to the bitter taste of coffee. Now he is saying this on purpose.
Shen Jiu's expression did not change, and he said, "Of course, my taste has changed recently. I'm a little tired of drinking tea, so I want to change the taste."
"I think coffee is good." Shen Jiu said, "especially the freshly opened can of coffee, it feels very good when you look at it."
Shen Jiu's abacus was excellent, and that was the coffee Ye Chu sent Lu Huai.
Lu Huai's expression was dull, his fingers tapped the tabletop lightly.
He naturally knew why Shen Jiu said that, but Shen Jiu's mind was destined to fail.
At this time, the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in and served Lu Huai and Shen Jiu with two cups of tea. When she was about to leave, she was stopped by Shen Jiu.
"You can help me make a cup of coffee."
Because Shen Jiu was a frequent visitor of the Warlord’s Mansion and Shen Jiu and Lu Huai had a very good relationship, the housekeeper nodded, turned and left the study, preparing to make coffee for Shen Jiu.
The housekeeper hadn't walked out yet, Lu Huai's low voice slowly sounded.
"Use the can on the left."
The jar of coffee beans sent by Ye Chu happened to be on the right.
Lu Huai was startled. He said the sentence just now without even thinking about it.
It seems that this idea has been in Lu Huai's mind ever since Shen Jiu mentioned that he wanted to drink coffee.
Lu Huai's eyes were dark, somehow, he didn't want Shen Jiu to drink the coffee Ye Chu gave him.
The little liar gave him something, he naturally wanted to taste it, and he didn't want to share it with others. What's more, I haven't tasted this coffee several times, so why is it cheaper for Shen Jiu.
The housekeeper answered yes, and then left.
Seeing Lu Huai's reaction, Shen Jiu showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth. He deliberately said, "It's just coffee, why are you so stingy."
"Not willing to give it to me? Could it be from your sweetheart?"
Shen Jiu stared at landing Huai.
Lu Huai glanced at Shen Jiu with a smile, "You talk too much."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Huai said lightly: "It seems that you have been very idle lately, do you want me to find something for you to do?"
Shen Jiu chuckled lightly and said nothing.
At this time, the housekeeper brought the coffee up and placed it in front of Shen Jiu. The housekeeper respectfully said: "Jiuye, the coffee you want."
The coffee was a little hot, and the heat rose slowly, gently brushing Shen Jiu's cheek.
Lu Huai lifted his chin slightly and motioned to Shen Jiu to drink coffee.
Shen Jiu had a bitter face. He wanted to make fun of Lu Huai. He just said casually about drinking coffee. He didn't want to really drink it.
But Lu Huai still looked at himself, Shen Jiu sighed, and drank helplessly. Well, it tastes terribly bitter.
Shen Jiu wanted to cry without tears, and the things that he caused could not be dealt with even if he bit the bullet.
Lu Huai smiled.
After Shen Jiu left, Lu Huai still sat in the study to handle official duties.
At this time, one of his men knocked on the door and came in with a respectful attitude: "San Shao, Qiao Yunsheng did not go to Xinli Middle School these days."
"No one else is close to Miss Ye Chu."
Lu Huai ordered his men to look at Ye Chu, in order to ensure Ye Chu's safety. If there are no special circumstances, your subordinates can report every few days.
Lu Huai's expression was faint: "Yeah."
Although Qiao Yunsheng hadn't been close to Ye Chu in the past few days, Lu Huai still couldn't relax his vigilance. Qiao Yunsheng is moody, and no one else can guess his thoughts.
Lu Huai's eyes became colder, and his voice was low: "Continue to stare, if Qiao Yunsheng does anything, report it immediately."
The subordinate said respectfully: "Yes, the third master."
Ye Chu's Qingli face appeared in Lu Huai's mind. Her skin was fair and pearly.
A very shallow smile appeared at the corner of Lu Huai's mouth. He suddenly asked, "What is she doing recently?"
The subordinate said: "Today, Miss Ye Chu and the people from the Yuan Mansion next door went to the clothing store on Brown Road to buy clothes."
The faint sunlight fell from the outside of the study, making the whole room brighter and brighter.
Lu Huai listened quietly, his expression faint, his eyes softened a bit.
The subordinate continued: "Ms. Ye Chu went to the department store to buy clothes yesterday."
Then, the subordinate frowned slightly: "But it's a bit strange, she stayed there alone for a long time."
Lu Huai's gaze condensed, and he said lightly: "I see, you can go down."
After his subordinates left, Lu Huai leaned back in his chair, his thoughts sinking.
Originally, it was an extremely common thing for girls to go shopping, but Ye Chu actually bought things for so long alone.
Lu Huai pressed his eyebrows, Ye Chu's behavior was a bit abnormal. What is she doing after staying there for such a long time
It seems that his little liar seems to have some secrets he doesn't know.
The author has something to say: Help A Chu cover his little vest.
