Chapter 327: Infiltration Plan (I)

After exchanging their messages, Long and Shi changed their outfits and secretly left the rented house.

“Qingzhou, look at the sugar-coated haws over there! May I have one?” Long said with great interest, like a child.

Shi turned to look at him. “You want to eat it?”

“Yes, I do miss the taste.”

“Oh? “Shi frowned. “Well, if you want to eat it, then go ahead.”

Long was so happy, “All right, let’s go.”

Then Long took Shi’s hand toward where the sugar-coated haws was sold.

Long bought two sticks of sugar-coated haws, and handed one to Shi.

Two big men actually enjoyed themselves eating the haws and didn’t care about other people’s surprised look.

They were not themselves now, anyway. Long really didn’t feel any pressure at all.

They soon had two sticks of sugar-coated haws in their bellies.

Long licked his mouth. “Qingzhou, we’ve been out a long time. It’s almost time to go back.”

“Is it? ” Shi wasn’t impressed. “Not half an hour. ”

Long said softly, “There’s nothing we need to do. After all, we’re new here, and we’d better be careful when we go shopping.”

Shi nodded. “You’re right. Just be careful.”

They went out, harvested two sticks of sugar-coated haws, and then went back.

However, although Long and Shi hadn’t been around for a long time, they were still being targeted by one person.

The man followed Long and Shi to the house where they lived.

Then, the man narrowed his eyes and turned to withdraw, but as he turned, a deadly crisis struck from behind him. He had only time to stare before he fell.

Shi jumped over to the man with Long.

Ying Feng grabbed the man by the neck.

It was Ying Feng who did it. Actually, Shi and Long had long discovered that man but they didn’t act. They just led the man here without any trace and let others do it.

“Master,” said Ying Feng.

Long nodded. “Let’s go back first. Interrogate him. As it happens, we don’t know much about the intelligence here, so we can see how much this man knows.”

“Got it.” Ying Feng answered at once.

Long and Shi went back into the house, while the man was taken away by Ying Feng.

Back home, Long curled his lip, sat down at the table, and poured a glass of water.

“We’ve been out for a while and somebody’s been after us. Gee.”

Shi pressed the lower corners of his mouth. “Well, be more careful in the future.”

“Qingzhou, do you think we should move to another place?”

“No, it would be more suspicious if we leave.”

“All right.” Long nodded and poured Shi a glass of water.

Shi picked up the cup and took a sip. A moment later, he put it down. “Did you really give Wang Qi and the others poison?”

“Eh? ” Long blinked, and said innocently, “Qingzhou, don’t you believe me?”

Shi gave him a half-smile. “I do not believe you.”

“Why? ” Long was puzzled. “Why don’t you believe me?”

Shi gave Long a faint look. “No reason. It’s just based on my knowledge about you.”

“All right.” Long shrugged. “You are the one who knows me best in the world. It is true that I did not give them poison.”

Shi looked at Long. “What did you give them?”

Long twitched his lips, “Pills to prevent the cold.”

Shi said dryly, “They don’t know that, right?”

Long curled his lip. “How could I tell them? I didn’t say it.”

Shi chuckled. “You didn’t say it.”

“Yes. What’s the matter? Qingzhou, why do you suddenly ask that?”

Shi said dryly, “You may come in.”

Long looked puzzlingly in the direction of the door and paused.

Because Wang Qi and Wang Shu were actually standing there.

Surprised, Long looked at Shi.

Shi looked faintly at Wang Qi and Wang Shu. “Did you hear that?”

Wang Qi was shocked, with tears shining in his eyes. “Yes, we heard it. Thank you.”

Wang Qi knelt down.

Long waved his hand. “Wang Qi, we are partners now, so don’t mention it.”

Wang Qi nodded. “Yes, I see.”

Long smiled. “You have come in time. I have two things for you to attend to.”

“At your command,” Wang Qi said immediately.

Two quarters of an hour later, Wang Qi and Wang Shu left.

Shi looked at Long. “Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble? ”

Long sighed. “We haven’t got much time, and besides, we’ve got a little chance, haven’t we?”

Shi nodded. “I think we’d better meet Fang Shuoyang again.”

“So I thought, but these days are not suitable. There is good news from him.”

“Good news?” Shi raised his eyebrows. “Do you mean…”

“Yeah.” Long laughed. “Didn’t Lord Zhou want to take him back? Originally, Fang Shuoyang had been refusing him, but since Lord Zhou asked again, Fang Shuoyang could only accept it as it should be. It would be better if he were put in another official post. In that case he would be more justified, wouldn’t he?”

Shi thought for a moment and said, “All right. As far as the plan goes, we have to go further.”

“Well, Qingzhou, when I came here, I gave myself two months, not more than three, but now, with you by my side, I can wait.”

Shi’s mouth slightly curved. “Oh? Do you really think so?”

“Sure.” Long stared at him.

Shi was silent for a moment and said seriously, “When we’re almost done on our side, let’s go to find Fang Shuoyang.”

“You think so?” Long looked at Shi in surprise.

Shi raised his eyebrows. “You think the same way?”

Long touched his nose. “Yes, I thought so, but I was afraid you would find it dangerous.”

Shi squinted his eyes. “You’re afraid I’ll object, are you? ”

Long nodded his head. “Yes, I was afraid you would object.”

Shi smiled faintly. “Isn’t that what worries me the most about you coming here? But you did it anyway.”

Long didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Shi continued, “Do you still think that if you die, I will stay with our son for the sake of Tianlong Dynasty and for the sake of my father?”
