Chapter 464 Lin Feng's Sudden Appearance
She remembered what the shadowy figure had told her before: if she wanted to find out any information, she should go back to the brothel; all sorts of people came and went there, as long as she had money.
As she passed the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, she paused, glancing up at the largest brothel in the capital that she was about to visit.
She hadn't run more than a few steps when she was suddenly dragged into an alley. Wen Luozhi knew something was wrong; they were about to attack her before she could even see their faces clearly.
"Girl! It's me!"
Lin Feng raised his hand to block her arm, which was already full of steel needles. Wen Luozhi took a step back and looked at him warily, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.
Lin Feng took off the bundle behind him, opened it, and took out the water bottle that Wen Zixun had given him when he fled to Shanquan Village.
Wen Luozhi suddenly remembered it when she saw it, but she still didn't put the things in her hand away.
"It's you! Why are you grabbing me?"
Lin Feng glanced around and whispered, "I know something about General Helian. May I speak with you privately, young lady?"
Wen Luozhi was delighted to hear that it was about Helian Yue, and the two found a quiet place to sit down.
After Lin Feng finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes. "Why should I believe you? What if you're just teasing me?"
She didn't even know who Lin Feng was, so how could she believe what he said?
Helpless, Lin Feng took out a token from his pocket, which had a flame-like pattern on it.
"This was given to me by my father in case you didn't believe me. He was a subordinate of General Weiyuan, and this token was only given to the old subordinates when the Iron Bone Army was first established."
Wen Luozhi took the token; Helian Yue had mentioned this to her before.
Seeing her frown, Lin Feng continued, "That taller young master next to you must be the young lady from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Luozhi immediately looked at him, a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
"I didn't mean anything by it! I've only seen it a few times when I've been to restaurants..." Lin Feng quickly waved his hands and shrank back as he explained, seeing her expression:
"My father asked me to help the old general and his men fake this young lady's death and escape. I remember the two moles on her neck and face..."
Wen Luozhi withdrew the murderous intent in her eyes, relaxed her body, and tossed the token to Lin Feng.
"Alright, I believe what you say."
She got up to leave, and Lin Feng quickly stood up and took out a letter from his pocket, saying, "Miss, you must burn this letter after reading it."
Wen Luozhi took it, put it in her sleeve, and swaggered out of the house.
Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, his back soaked as he sat down in the chair.
When he was in Shanquan Village, he only occasionally heard that Wen Luozhi was fierce, but he didn't expect him to be so oppressive.
As he spoke, the man opposite him fiddled with a steel needle in his hand, as if he were about to pierce his neck at any moment.
Having said everything he needed to say and handed the letter to Wen Luozhi, Lin Feng felt a great sense of relief.
Wen Muchuan woke up and couldn't find his daughter; he was frantic with worry. Lang Batian had gone out to play and hadn't returned for several days.
He had no other choice but to search for Wen Luozhi in places she might be.
After searching around without finding anyone, I finally spotted them after returning twice.
"Sweetie! Where have you been?!"
"You little rascal! You scared your father to death!"
On his last trip back, he had already considered the worst-case scenario, fearing that his daughter might do something foolish in a moment of despair.
Seeing Wen Muchuan's eyes redden with anxiety, Wen Luozhi quickly apologized, "Father, don't worry, it's all my fault. I just couldn't sleep, so I got up to go for a walk."
"I'll definitely let you know where I'm going next time."
Wen Muchuan noticed the dark circles under her eyes, and seeing her haggard appearance, how could he bear to blame her?
He pressed the person down into a soft chair and said, "Sweetie, wait here. Daddy will cook you some noodles. Eat them and then go get a good night's sleep."
Wen Luozhi nodded obediently, while Wen Muchuan kept turning back every two steps, as if afraid she would run away again.
After thinking it over, he realized it wouldn't work. He was almost at the kitchen door when he quickly turned back and locked the door from the inside.
Wen Luozhi: ...
Could her father be afraid that she'd foolishly run off to find Helian Yue? That seems unlikely.
If Lin Feng hadn't told her, she wouldn't even know where Helian Yue was being held, so how would she have found him?
She sat obediently and waited. After a while, Wen Muchuan brought over a bowl of noodles with two fried eggs on top.
"Eat quickly, finish it all. If you're still hungry, just tell Dad."
Wen Muchuan placed the large bowl of noodles in front of her and urged her to eat it while it was still hot.
As the hot noodles entered her stomach, Wen Luozhi felt as if she had come back to life.
After finishing her noodles, she returned to her room under Wen Muchuan's supervision. Only after closing the door did she hurriedly take out the letter Lin Feng had given her.
After reading it, she felt a little relieved. Feeling that burning it wouldn't be safe, she simply threw the letter into her system inventory.
It's good that the shadowy figure and the iron-clad man weren't captured; I just hope everything goes smoothly for them.
However, Wen Luozhi couldn't bear the thought that Qin Yu had used torture in the letter. She couldn't even imagine how painful it must have been for Helian Yue to have his collarbone pierced by iron chains.
"Hmph, you just wait and see."
She didn't want to sleep at first, but thinking about having to deal with Qin Yu that night, she forced herself to sleep for two hours.
I was full of energy when I got up, but it's not dark yet, so it's not a good time to do anything bad.
She told Wen Muchuan that she was going to the restaurant, and her father finally let her go, but Wu Yao, who had just returned from playing outside, stopped her.
"Where are you going? I want to go too!"
Wen Luozhi shrugged. "What's the point of playing? I'm going to check out how business is at Baiweizhai today."
She thought she could shake off Wu Yao, but unexpectedly, Wu Yao was hungry and heard that she was going to Baiweizhai, which was exactly what she wanted.
Wen Luozhi had no choice but to take her along. On the way, Wu Yao told her about the gossip she had heard outside that day, one of which was about Mu Lin'er.
Wen Luozhi listened to her talk and began to guess why Mu Lin'er would come every other day to wear "weak makeup".
Judging from Wu Yao's description, Mu Lin'er has someone else in her heart, and it is definitely not the one she is already engaged to.
So you came to get makeup done just to fake being sick so you wouldn't marry that man? But that doesn't seem quite right.
Baiweizhai is doing good business today. The upstairs is full, and there are only a few empty tables downstairs, which were only cleared out after the customers finished eating and left.
Wen Luozhi idly fiddled with the abacus at the counter for a while, lost in thought, ignoring Wu Yao's calls.
"what!"
Wu Yao thought she had suddenly gone mad and shouted in her ear, startling Wen Luozhi.
"Are you full? If you're full, go back to sleep."
She was in a hurry to get rid of him, because if Wu Yao was still following her after dark, how would she deal with that idiot?
Wu Yao tilted her head and stared at her, asking, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"
The whites of her eyes gradually diminished, and Wen Luozhi, feeling uneasy under her gaze, quickly said, "Stop fooling around! What if you scare the guests?!"
Wu Yao laughed and her eyes returned to normal immediately, which relieved Wen Luozhi.
She had seen this woman before, who looked neither human nor ghost. Her eyes were just like those of the female ghosts in the horror movies she had watched before—completely black with no whites, making them look empty and terrifying.
Although she has only seen it once since she met it, that one time was enough, and she still remembers it clearly.
She didn't say anything, and Wu Yao didn't ask anything either. She was sure that Wu Yao had something to do, so she stayed by her side and wouldn't leave no matter how she was asked to.
