"I just got up and went to the latrine, and saw that there was still a faint light of fire in your room, so I came over to take a look."

Wang Mugen stared at Xu Rong, as if looking for something.

Xu Rong smiled: "It's so dry now. I got up in the middle of the night to drink some water. I was just about to go to bed and go back to sleep. Unexpectedly, I heard you knocking on the door."

"So that's it. Brother Yu, please rest quickly. I'm going back too. I was worried just now and was afraid something would happen. Since you're fine, I'm relieved too."

Wang Mugen turned around and walked towards his room.

Xu Rong suppressed the smile on her face and frowned slightly.

He didn't know whether Wang Mugen really came to check because of a little light, or whether he discovered something.

If it's the former, nothing will happen.

But if it's the latter, then he should be careful these days.

Moreover, the evidence must be sent out as soon as possible, otherwise once it is discovered that the evidence is gone and they are alerted, things will be in trouble.

Xu Rong closed the door and lay on the bed, but he was not sleepy at all.

"Hopefully the missing books will be discovered a few days later."

Xu Rong thought about this and fell asleep unconsciously.

On the other side, Wang Mugen returned to his room and lay on the bed, unable to sleep.

Indeed, as he told Xu Rong just now, he got up in the middle of the night and went to the hut.

But the reason why he knocked on the door was not because he saw the light of the fire, but because he seemed to have seen a black shadow entering Xu Rong's room through the window.

Then Xu Rong's room lit up with fire.

"What are you doing, brother Yu, getting up in the middle of the night? Are you sneaking out in the middle of the night? Even so, there is no need to get through the window?"

"Could it be that the black shadow is not Brother Yu, but someone else? Who is that person?"

Wang Mugen felt that his thoughts were a little confused. He thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the reason.

"Since Song Yuanshan's death, the atmosphere in this branch has become much better. It's just that the helmsman doesn't seem to like Brother Yu anymore. Why is that?"

"Didn't they have a very good relationship before? Could it be that there was some conflict? Is what happened to Brother Yu tonight also because of this incident?"

As Shi Xingjie's confidant, Wang Mugen was arranged by Shi Xingjie to be beside Xu Rong from the beginning and secretly monitor Xu Rong.

But later, as Xu Rong's identity was confirmed and the suspicion was eliminated, Wang Mugen no longer took the matter seriously.

A few days ago, Shi Xingjie suddenly asked him to continue to monitor Xu Rong and report to him anything he encountered.

There is no doubt that Shi Xingjie does not trust Xu Rong and wants to seize Xu Rong's leverage.

"Should I tell the helmsman about this?"

Wang Mugen was a little confused.

If he told Shi Xingjie, it might increase the conflict between the two.

But if Shi Xingjie is not told, if Xu Rong is planning to counter Shi Xingjie, then Shi Xingjie will be in trouble.

"On the one hand, there are leaders who think highly of me and value me, and on the other hand, there are friends who have a good relationship with me. No matter which way I choose, there seems to be something not so good..."

Wang Mugen was a little confused. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind.

It was not until dawn that Wang Mugen finally decided to treat what happened last night as if he had never seen it before, and it was better to do less than to do more.

After making the decision, Wang Mugen felt much relieved and fell asleep quickly.

At this time, Xu Rong got up early, and then simply washed up, as if going out normally, without anyone around him.

Xu Rong went shopping everywhere. At this time in the morning, all kinds of breakfasts were available, which seemed extremely convenient.

Trying something here, looking there, seeming to be very curious about everything.

After wandering around for a long time, Xu Rong came to a restaurant near noon.

After going up to the second floor and sitting by the window, Xu Rong ordered two dishes and a bottle of wine.

Soon, there were more and more people in the restaurant, and gradually there were no separate seats.

A man came to Xu Rong and asked, "Do you mind sharing a table?"

When Xu Rong heard the voice, she raised her eyes and glanced at the man, then said unceremoniously: "Mind."

After hearing the answer, the man's face seemed a little ugly and he left the restaurant directly.

Xu Rong didn't care and continued to pour and drink by himself, quite contentedly.

In the corner of the second floor opposite the restaurant, Wang Mugen watched Xu Rong's every move from a very private angle.

He didn't care about that man, because that man had been rejected several times before, and no one was willing to share a table with him, so naturally he couldn't stay.

"Brother Yu is acting a little strange today! He was walking around as if to kill time. Could it be that he encountered something disturbing?"

Wang Mugen frowned secretly.

With the current situation of Wan'an Branch, there seems to be no situation worthy of allowing this.

At this moment, Xu Rong stood up, seemed to have paid the bill, and left the restaurant.

When Wang Mugen saw this, he quickly stood up.

His task is to monitor Xu Rong. If Xu Rong is out of his sight, how can he complete the task? How will he explain to Shi Xingjie then?

But when he went downstairs, he suddenly realized that Xu Rong was missing.

"It's broken. Did you lose it?"

Wang Mugen felt a little anxious and kept looking around, but still found nothing.

He had no choice but to start searching in one direction, but found nothing.

Xu Rong, who was the target, originally hid in a shop next to the restaurant.

After confirming Wang Mugen's departure, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of what happened last night, Xu Rong was careful today, even more careful, for fear of being found to have something unusual.

It's just that the evidence really needs to be handed over as soon as possible, otherwise it may cause trouble for yourself.

Hence the previous series of operations.

The reason Xu Rong did this was to wear down the patience of those who followed him secretly and to lay the foundation for what he would do next.

Now that everything is going smoothly, he has successfully deceived Wang Mugen. Next, he only needs to meet up with Tie Ying who left before and hand over the evidence to him.

Yes, the man who just asked to share a table was Tie Ying, but Xu Rong's clean refusal made Tie Ying realize that something was wrong, and he left without stopping.

However, Tie Ying did not go far.

The two parties had previously discussed what to do in this situation, and now Xu Rong only needed to act in accordance with the method he had agreed upon.
