Fang Lanshan’s eyes shone brighter and brighter as she heavily patted Dong Huiying on the shoulder, "Miss Dong, you really are my lucky star!"
She laughed heartily, while Dong Huiying’s mouth twitched slightly.
Dear, could it be that you don’t know how strong you are? My frail body is almost shattered by your patting.
Dong Huiying muttered to herself in complaint, but this kind of ’cooperation’ brought them much closer in an instant.
Next, Fang Lanshan sought out another constable. The two exchanged information and intelligence, then took Dong Huiying to the Sky Blue Building, mainly to investigate the social networks of the courtesan Little Qing and Liang Shujun.
Two days flashed by.
Dong Huiying and Fang Lanshan made good progress on their side, uncovering so clues and initially identifying a few suspects.
On the other hand, Tie Hailan was buoyant with energy. She barged into He Su’s courtyard, her face brimming with smiles.
"He Su!" she bellowed as if in high spirits, "Co, I’m taking you to et soone!"
He Su’s eyes flickered, "I’m still recovering from my illness, and I can’t be exposed to the wind these days."
Tie Hailan whispered mysteriously, "Don’t you want to see Phoenix Blood? For this, I really went to a lot of trouble."
"Hai Lan?" He Su looked stunned. She grabbed Tie Hailan’s hand, "Hai Lan, have you done sothing? You must not harm him, so things cannot be forced. We are destined but not fated, and I have never blad him; I only wish for him to be well, that will be enough for ."
Tie Hailan teased, "Look, the mont Phoenix Blood is ntioned, you get anxious. If you say you don’t care about him, even a fool wouldn’t believe it."
He Su bit her lip.
Tie Hailan continued, "You don’t need to worry, from now on, he’s neither the actor Phoenix Blood from the Brothel nor Liang family’s Sanlang from the mountains, but a completely free man."
He Su hesitated for a long while, and in the end, Tie Hailan half-dragged, half-pulled her out of the He Mansion.
Outside the mansion, there was a carriage. Once they were aboard, Tie Hailan said, "Let’s go, to Liu family village!"
The coachman cracked his whip, and the horses pulling the carriage trotted away. However, nobody knew that behind the gate of He Mansion, Gao Jian’s face was pale with green and white shades, his expression full of anger and a trace of bitterness.
It happened exactly two hours later.
Dong Huiying and Fang Lanshan rushed to the He Mansion, having just gone through another round of investigation shortly before. Among the suspects they had identified, He Su and Tie Hailan had the greatest suspicion.
But when they arrived at He Mansion, they learned He Su and Tie Hailan had left two hours earlier.
Dong Huiying’s brow furrowed; she felt a sense of urgency.
"Please, wait!"
In just a few days, Gao Jian had grown haggard, his eyes flickering with madness. "I know where Phoenix Blood is!"
Dong Huiying and Fang Lanshan exchanged glances, and then both set their gaze on Gao Jian.
Liu family village, not far from Taihang Town.
Sitting in the carriage, He Su’s mood grew more and more nervous as she neared her destination.
In fact, she knew about what Tie Hailan had done. Even if she didn’t know at the beginning, she had guessed so later on and had adopted a tacit agreent.
Tie Hailan had switched things secretly, setting up this drama. From then on, there would be no Phoenix Blood in the world, nor a Liang Shujun.
But could he accept her?
He Su closed her eyes tightly, rembering how ’Phoenix Blood’ was always so cold and indifferent in front of her, and she couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.
