Chapter 33 Assassination

Shen Zhiyun stood up from the wheelchair and threw his coat on him.

"You stay here until I come back."

Cheng An paused, "But sir, I haven't taken the disguise yet..."

"Then go get it."

He pulled off Cheng An's clothes, asked him for a face towel, put the sword on his body, and left directly.

Cheng An looked sad, so he just said that he had to let this man wait here.

Really, life is really hard to do these days.

He jumped lightly and left quickly, the strong wind blowing around him.

No, when this man returns to Xichang, he will resign and return home.

Being forced to work overtime every day is really uncomfortable.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask him what he is doing here without going back...forget it, let's do it next time."

*

Tongfu Inn is a large-scale restaurant in Yanzhou.

It was noon, and it was bustling with people coming and going. Ruan Ruan and his two men found a place to sit down and started talking about the Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce consists of six people. Only Hualian's husband, the founder of the Chamber of Commerce, has no business. The rest have businesses in Yanzhou and even other places. The industries include textiles, pawn shops, banks, gambling houses, and restaurants. They are very powerful.

These bosses are all very wealthy, and they all criticize Hualian as her husband, thinking that he is just a softie. They have wanted to impeach him several times and let Hualian take over.

But this chamber of commerce was originally founded by Hualien's husband. Hualien had no reason to take over and insisted on letting his husband manage it, and this is how it is today.

So if you want to do business with them and get to know Hualian, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and vice versa.

"I heard that Madam was once imprisoned for offending the county magistrate. If Madam wants to sell the vegetables on hand, it would be better not to reveal her identity."

Ruan Ruan paused, "How do you know about me selling vegetables?"

Wang Yi chuckled, "I'm ashamed to say that, when Madam went to the street that day, I was boiling medicine with my entourage nearby. I saw Madam wearing black clothes, which was very special. I also asked Madam to tell Wang that she was staring at Madam. Don’t be offended.”

"Not that much."

Ruan Ruan poured a bowl of tea and touched it with him, as if all the previous grudges were over and there was no need to argue.

But she didn't notice that Wang Yi across from him quietly turned red.

She was different from any woman he had ever seen.

She is generous, heroic, powerful in martial arts, calm in situations, and has a sense of being able to tolerate everything, all of which are completely different from her innocent and cute appearance.

But it was this obvious difference that made her even more attractive. Every time he saw her, he felt as if his soul was being sucked into her, and he couldn't move his eyes away at all.

He clearly warned himself that Ruan Ruan was a husband-in-law and there would never be any consequences with him.

But he himself didn't know why. The more he looked at her, the more excited he became.

Even with a small clink of glasses, he felt as if he was touching her hand instead of the glass.

He raised his eyes slightly and watched as her snow-white fingers put the mouth of the cup into her mouth.

Wang Yi's ears felt burning and uncomfortable, and he drank all the tea in one gulp.

Ruan Ruan paused, "Are you thirsty?"

"Ah, no..." Wang Yi's eyes dodge, feeling guilty about being caught, and he waved his hands in a panic.

However, her innocent eyes stared straight at him, making him feel ashamed and his face seemed to be burning.

Wang Yi's neck was sweating. He thought, since the atmosphere has reached this level, he might as well take this opportunity to express his feelings.

If he could get her affirmative rejection, he would be able to stop his thoughts.

If...he meant if, if she didn't refuse, wouldn't it be better?

"that……"

"Whoosh!"

Before Wang Yi finished speaking, there was a sudden sound in his ears.

He turned his head blankly and saw a bow and arrow passing by his face. His eyes suddenly widened.

If he hadn't turned his face, the bow and arrow would have hit his head!

Just as his thoughts were turning for a moment, he suddenly remembered that if he dodged, then the bow and arrow hit him...

"This useless thing can't even protect the woman sitting next to you?"

The low, hoarse and charming voice made Wang Yi look over blankly.

A man wearing a silver fox mask and black clothing stood behind Ruan Ruan.

He bent down slightly, put his arm on her shoulder, and played with the bow and arrow on her chest in his hand, as if he was holding Ruan Ruan in his arms.

The slender peach blossom eyes under the mask were slightly raised, staring at him with the ends of their eyes raised, disdainfully and playfully, as if saying to him:

A useless thing like you still wants to covet Ruan Ruan?

Wang Yi caught his meaning and immediately froze on the spot.

However, the masked man's ridicule did not last long, because Ruan Ruan looked up at him with a cold face and kicked him straight in the face!

He stepped back helplessly, the bow and arrow fell to the ground with a clang, and he raised his hands above his head.

"I just saved you, is this how you treat your savior?"

Ruan Ruan raised his eyebrows, took out his whip and pointed it at him, "I won't die without you."

"Tsk, that's right." He coughed lightly, "Even if I'm not the savior, I've helped you with such a small favor, but you can still buy me a cup of tea, right? You don't have to be so tense, as if you want to kill me."

"I do want to kill you, because your appearance caused the culprit to run away, and I feel very unhappy now."

Ruan Ruan squinted his eyes, his teeth felt a little itchy.

In fact, what made her unhappy was not only that the person who wanted to kill her was gone, but the most important thing was that she didn't feel anyone around her just now.

She had also come into contact with things like ancient martial arts when she was in the interstellar. The master's turtle breath was able to shut down his own breath and footsteps, which was really amazing.

She was also lucky enough to fight against several people, and there was not much difference in strength.

But she couldn't see or touch the masked man in front of her, and there was a dangerous aura that penetrated deeply into her bones.

It's not good, it's really not good.

Her gritted teeth and vigilant look made her eyes sparkle, and her vivid look made the eyes of the two people present flash with surprise.

Especially the masked man, his eyes are very sparkling.

He sat down awkwardly, picked up the food with Ruan Ruan's chopsticks, and said meaningfully: "Yeah, not bad."

I don’t know if I’m talking about the taste of the food or the chopsticks.

Ruan Ruan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Are you sick?"

"I'm not sick, I just thought the girl was good-looking, so I wanted to come over and make friends with you and ask for food on the way."

"I don't sit at the same table with beggars."

The masked man took out a piece of silver from his chest, which looked like eight taels or more.

"Then don't ask for food, I'll treat you."

Ruan Ruan didn't expect this man to be so shameless, so he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Wang Yi, let's go."

Wang Yi followed her out very obediently.

The masked man poured himself a bowl of tea and took his time.

"Don't you want to know who wants to harm you?"
