He immediately stood up and realized something was wrong. He became serious and ordered someone: "Come here!"
People soon came in, all dressed in shorts. It was obvious that they had been in the underworld for a long time. They saluted respectfully to the man and said, "Sir, what's the matter?"
"Get off the boat!" The man frowned and said briefly, "The Wei family must have discovered something. Get off the boat and follow them!"
The sturdy man in shorts who was leading the group looked at him hesitantly and said, "Sir, we are responsible for following them. If Shen Chen hadn't contacted her..."
"I'm afraid they have already made contact!" He sneered, "Otherwise, why would they stay here for so long? Didn't you see that their people went down in several groups? Even Wei An went down in person. Wei An never wastes time. She must have discovered something. Stop talking so much and follow her!"
Since he had said so, the people below had to listen. Although the leader still had some opposition, he finally said nothing and followed him off the boat quietly.
They were not familiar with this place, it was an unknown dock. After coming down, the man ordered someone to inquire about it.
It's impossible for such a large group of people to walk together silently, there will always be someone seeing them.
Moreover, some of our family members followed them just now, so they should have left some marks as well.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, someone found the mark of his people and hurried over to report: "Sir, we found the trail, and they went that way."
The man followed without hesitation.
After crossing a long street and turning left, I arrived in front of a bungalow. The door was locked, but the door was broken and the lock was brand new, obviously having been replaced just now.
And the marking stops here.
Obviously, everyone went in.
But what about his own people? It didn't make sense for them to act on their own. How come they disappeared after leaving a mark
When he thought of this, he felt a chill in his heart and immediately shuddered, and was about to order a retreat.
But at this moment, a number of bodyguards appeared at both ends of the long street. Judging from their attire, they were obviously from the same family - they were the bodyguards hired by the Wei family.
Got fooled!
The man secretly groaned, but it was too late. The door creaked open from the inside, and the lock fell to the ground with a click. Then Lin Yue and Zhao Qi appeared, smiled at him, and gestured to him, "Our princess has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in."
They were numerous and powerful, and it was obvious that they had stopped the boat from the beginning just to lure them out, so they were well prepared. The man weighed the matter for a while and knew that fighting now would only make things worse and attract more people, so he had no choice but to step through the door.
Wei An was in the yard. He turned around when he heard the voice. His eyes stayed on him for a moment, and then he smiled: "I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be an acquaintance."
She smiled and called out the man's name accurately: "Mr. Yi, how come all the male members of the Peng family were killed or exiled, but you are still fine?"
He is the son-in-law of the Peng family, the unfaithful man that the second wife had scolded before.
After Wei An knew that the Yi and Peng families were in trouble, he no longer paid attention to them. He didn't expect that this person actually survived.
Yi Er took a step back and rolled his eyes. Wei An knew that there was a boat following them and he knew that he couldn't make a big fuss or attract attention, so he used this trick to lure the snake out of its hole. Now they had fallen into Wei An's trap.
He reacted quickly and shook his head to distance himself: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Don't you know?" Wei An sneered, "If you don't know, that's good. I originally thought it was some kind of immortal, and I was racking my brains to figure out how to treat him. But now I know it's an old acquaintance, it's great. I know him well, so there's no need to make any trouble. I can just send you to the government. What do you think, young master? I remember that the three judicial departments had already made a decision. All male members of the Yi and Peng families who were over 18 years old were to be executed immediately. You should have been over 18 years old at that time, right?"
She smiled, but her eyes were cold: "Since you said you don't know, that's fine, let the government help to interrogate you, how did you get away, how could you appear here, how about you follow the Wei family's boat to here?"
Yi Er was extremely annoyed, and his face turned even paler after hearing what Wei An said.
I had been instructed before coming here. I knew Wei An was difficult to deal with, and my superiors had repeatedly warned me that I only needed to look for opportunities along the way and keep a close eye on the Wei family's ship, and not to take any action.
But after following them for three days, the Wei family still didn't notice their existence, so he became a little too proud of himself.
Today Wei An performed such a realistic drama again.
First they pretended to have received some news and discussed the matter with the lights on. The next day they docked at the nearest pier again, and all the escorts and Wei An's trusted men were dispatched.
They pretended to know something so as to lure him to let the people go.
Then Wei An deliberately let him know that she had also got off the boat. This way, he thought that she had discovered some important news, so he followed her down and fell into Wei An's trap.
From what Wei An said, she just wanted to lure them out and find a clue.
She also didn't know his identity.
But now it's all exposed.
Wei An leisurely admired Yi Er's expression, then looked at the person behind him and said softly, "By the way, when I came out just now, I told my steward to go to the government office to report that pirates were found on the ship behind. What do you think the government office would find if they investigated?"
Yi Er looked at Wei'an in doubt and hoped in his heart that Wei An was lying, but his reason told him that Wei An was definitely someone who could do such a thing.
She had already made preparations and wanted to use this clue to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and save Shen Chen.
He turned his head away, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Wei An sneered, and said in a sarcastic tone: "I don't like to repeat my words for the second time. Second Master Yi is a smart man. He should know what the consequences will be if he deceives the court. Not only you, but also the people who help you will be implicated. Whether you say it or not, the result will be the same."
Wei An turned a string of glass beads in his hand and quickly said, "But, you also know that I am busy saving people, how about this, we make a deal, you tell me a little information about where Shen Chen is, and I will let you go, do you think this deal is worthwhile?"
