He was pacing back and forth, sorting out what he was going to say next, and looking forward to Sheng Susu's arrival.

The time soon came to Youshi.

Bai Yizhou covered his pounding chest and murmured to himself, "Xiao Xiaosu will be here soon. We must not make any mistakes later."

But reality always backfires.

The next moment, a rapid and special knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Bai Yizhou's thoughts!

When he heard that it was his own code, Bai Yizhou's expression immediately changed.

In order to prevent tonight's confession from going smoothly, he specifically told his subordinates not to come to him unless necessary.

But now...something is obviously urgent!

Realizing this, Bai Yizhou immediately strode over to open the door.

"What's the matter?" Bai Yizhou asked seriously.

A man in civilian clothes stood at the door with a very serious expression and reported in a low voice, "General, the man who was previously deployed at the city gate suddenly died suddenly. The reason is still unknown!"

Hearing this, Bai Yizhou's face suddenly turned ugly.

When he first arrived in this town, Bai Yizhou placed one of his men into the ranks of the city defenders.

After all, places where people come and go are the best informed.

Unexpectedly, this subordinate died inexplicably before the information could be obtained!

He didn't believe it was a simple coincidence!

The tragic loss of one of his subordinates and the destruction of his plan made Bai Yizhou angry in his heart.

He clenched his fists suddenly and gritted his teeth, "...I know."

Such a big thing happened, he had to go and see for himself.

But he also made an appointment to meet Xiao Xiaosu...

After much hesitation, Bai Yizhou decided to go back quickly and let Sheng Susu wait for him in the room for a while. It should be okay.

The situation is urgent. If you come back and explain it, she should understand.

With this in mind, Bai Yizhou quickly went back to his room, wrote a note, and then hurriedly left with his men.

Downstairs, the waiter had already prepared acacias and kept checking the time.

After all, it was the request of a distinguished guest, and he didn't dare to neglect it after giving so much money.

And this was such a big event that even he couldn't help but get excited.

As soon as the third quarter of the hour arrived, the waiter immediately ran to Bai Yizhou's room, "Sir, I'm here to light incense for you!"

However, there was no response in the room.

The waiter opened the door in confusion, only to find that there was no one inside.

"Hey, where are the people?"

The waiter was confused, but he didn't dare to delay the distinguished guest, so he entered the room as scheduled.

He looked left and right, and finally decided to place the incense burner on the low stool next to the bed, covered his nose and lit the albizia incense, then hurriedly ran out of the room, closing the door with an ambiguous smile...

At the same time, the county magistrate was appointed.

Feng Yunqi came back from an unannounced visit and found no sign of Sheng Susu. There were only three children playing in the huge yard.

Seeing Feng Yunqi, An Bao happily jumped over and gave him a big hug.

"Daddy is back!" An Bao said with a sweet smile.

Feng Yunqi's heart suddenly softened. He rubbed his daughter's little head and showed a gentle smile, "Well, where is mother?"

Hearing this, An Bao's smile immediately froze, his eyes drifted away, but he was suddenly startled again——

Chubao was staring straight at her with a stern face, obviously reminding her not to talk nonsense.

So An Bao pursed his lips and said, "...Mother said she has something to do and is going out temporarily."

Feng Yunqi caught her daughter's reaction and knew something was wrong.

The task of secret investigation and visit has been given to him. What else does Sheng Susu have to do?

Feng Yunqi asked again, "Then did she say what happened?"

His probing eyes first turned around An Bao's little face, and then moved to Feng Lin.

Feng Lin immediately looked away with guilt.

Because Chubao was warning him with his little eyes, telling him not to reveal the truth.

Because today’s meeting was specially ordered by Uncle Bai, I can only tell my mother to one person!

Besides, Chubao didn’t want his scumbag father to disturb his mother and Uncle Bai!

No one spoke for a while, and the air was quiet and tense.

Feng Yunqi was even more convinced that something was fishy.

But he did not choose to press. Instead, he squatted down to eye level with An Bao and asked patiently, "What did An Bao eat for lunch today?"

The innocent An Bao thought that his father didn't care about his mother anymore, so he calmly named a few dishes.

However, Feng Yunqi keenly captured the information he needed - these dishes were all signature dishes of the inn where they had stayed.

These children must have gone to the inn again today.
