How Shuyun interrogated Secret Guard Xiao Qi need not be ntioned for now, but Dong Huiying’s side was truly bustling.
These days seed to have been anything but leisurely. During the day, she was busy managing her assud identity as ’Liang Dabao’, a kitchen helper at the Food As Heaven branch, while at night she had to move in secret, whether betting at the black market to earn money, or cautiously disguising herself to buy dicinal materials for poison-making and gu-crafting.
Tonight, after finishing her work at the Food As Heaven Shop, she quietly slipped out again.
This ti, she first visited a blacksmith’s shop. She had drawn the blueprints herself and paid a deposit, asking the blacksmith to forge a set of Golden Needles and surgical instrunts according to her drawings, with the understanding that it would take at least ten days to receive the goods.
She thought to herself that having one useless shoulder was always inconvenient, so until then, it seed she had to find so makeshift tools to manage an operation herself to heal the shoulder shattered by that wretched pervert.
When she left the blacksmith’s shop, she disguised herself once more, this ti as a woman in her forties, appearing as a sorrowful, impoverished person, not at all remarkable.
She was about to go to the pharmacy to buy dicinal herbs when she encountered soone on the road. Yixuan!!
The man, dressed in elegant white, was walking ahead of her, stopping passersby along the way to gather clues. Dong Huiying’s heart surged, and she imdiately glanced around.
Good, no one noticed, her heart afla, she imdiately walked towards ’Yixuan’.
However...
These people were exceedingly cautious, but even the most careful plans have their flaws. Qinghe had once glimpsed the Yixuan brothers from afar at the Lantern Festival.
He had a photographic mory, imprinting their figures and appearances into his mind.
But the distance on that day was too great, and he only saw them without ever hearing their voices.
Thus, this voice was the biggest flaw!
No matter how similar the figure and appearance might be, the voice at once felt unfamiliar.
Dong Huiying felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. She furrowed her brows slightly and refrained from imdiately acknowledging ’Yixuan’, instead pretending to coincidentally be on the sa path, maintaining a neither-too-close-nor-too-distant distance behind him.
"Have you seen the woman in this picture, big sister? She has short hair and is sowhat shorter than average."
"To be honest, my wife’s gone missing, and we three brothers are here to find her."
"You don’t know her? That’s okay, sorry for the disturbance, please forgive us!"
He seed refined, yet not with the subtle grace tinged with resilience that Yixuan possessed. Even if he wore a facade resembling Yixuan to the extre, this core was undoubtedly unfamiliar.
Dong Huiying contemplated, dismissing the deep longing brought by this familiar face. As she observed his words and actions, she discovered more and more signs.
This person was definitely not Yixuan!
She asserted this conclusion.
Her joy was for naught.
If Yixuan was not Yixuan, then the Shujun and Haoming she saw at the Furai Inn were not Shujun and Haoming either but impostors made to appear as such. This sort of handiwork could only belong to that wretched pervert.
He surely went to great lengths to root her out!
Dong Huiying let out a cold laugh.
Faced with disappointnt after seeing hope, the psychological gap was too large. When she first thought those three were her own n, she was so delighted, yet now her heart was filled with anger.
Grinding her back teeth secretly, she took one last deep look at the person ahead, then swung her head to the side and changed direction!
