In a small bamboo forest not far away from the Hongbei family, Skinny who was originally sitting in the car and waiting for Chen Meng’er became more and more anxious as time passed.
The worry on Skinny’s face became more and more apparent.
In the end, Skinny was so anxious that he couldn’t sit in the car anymore. He pushed open the car door and got out. Then, he found an empty spot and reached into his pocket. He found nothing.
Only then did Skinny remember that he had gotten up in a hurry. He had not put the cigarette he had placed by the bed into his pocket.
Skinny looked at Ying who was walking over and asked him in annoyance, “Do you have a cigarette on you? If you do, give me one.”
Ying looked up at Skinny and silently took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Skinny.
Skinny did not stand on ceremony. He took the cigarette and lit it. Then he put it into his mouth and took a deep puff.
If Chen Meng’er was here, she would definitely be very surprised that Skinny actually smoked. Chen Meng’er had never seen the four of them smoke in either life, so, Chen Meng’er had always thought that they did not smoke.
In fact, Zhuge Yu and the others all smoked and carried cigarettes with them. However, they were very good at controlling themselves. Usually, they would not smoke, especially in front of Chen Meng’er. But today, Skinny was too worried about Chen Meng’er and was too anxious. There was no other way. He had to use a cigarette to suppress it.
Ying’s heart wasn’t much better than Skinny’s. He was anxious and worried, so when he saw Skinny smoking, he couldn’t help but smoke as well.
As time passed, the number of cigarette butts on the ground in front of Ying and Skinny increased.
“Hall Master Skinny, I think we should go in and take a look. Mistress has been in there for a long time.” Ying looked at the watch on his wrist and couldn’t help but say to Skinny.
At this moment, Skinny did not argue with Ying. “No, Little Miss did not send a distress signal. We do not know what is going on inside. I am afraid that if we impulsively rush in, it will ruin Little Miss’s plans.”
Skinny was conflicted. He also wanted to rush in recklessly, but he was afraid that if he rushed in, it would ruin Chen Meng’er’s plans.
“Then what should we do?” Ying asked Skinny.
“Wait.” Skinny gritted his teeth.
They waited for another hour. Chen Meng’er still didn’t appear.
Skinny and Ying didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
“No, in another five minutes, if Mistress doesn’t come out, I won’t be able to care so much. I’ll rush in with the others.” Ying threw the cigarette butt on the ground and made up his mind.
This time, Skinny didn’t say anything. He also threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground and then stretched out his foot to stamp out the flame.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Skinny and Ying were ready to charge into the Hongbei family with the others. Chen Meng’er’s life was more important than any plan.
“Let’s go.” Skinny gritted his teeth and said.
However, as soon as Skinny finished speaking, Yu pointed into the distance in surprise and said, “Mistress is back.”
“Where? Where?” Lei asked excitedly. The others also raised their eyes in excitement and searched for Chen Meng’er’s figure.
Skinny, Ying and the others saw Chen Meng’er walking towards them. They were so excited that they couldn’t even speak. Skinny used a lot of strength to control the excitement in his heart and went up to her. “Little Miss, it’s good that you’re back.” Skinny almost burst into tears.
“Uncle Skinny.” Chen Meng’er gave Skinny a mischievous smile. She knew that she had made Skinny and the others worry.
Ying and the others were one step behind Skinny as they walked over.
They were also looking at Chen Meng’er with faces full of excitement.
“Let’s go. This isn’t a place to stay for long. If there’s anything you want to ask or want to know, let’s go to the car and talk while walking.” Although Skinny, Ying and the others didn’t ask a single word about her trip to the Hongbei family, Chen Meng’er knew that they were very curious at this moment.
“Okay.”
Chen Meng’er and the others got into the car and soon disappeared into the night.
Not long after Chen Meng’er and the others left, a few people rushed out of the gate of Hongbei family. They raised their eyes and looked around as if they were looking for something. However, it was obvious that they didn’t find anything. Chen Meng’er and the others had left a long time ago.

As for Chen Meng’er and the others, Skinny held it in for a long time before he asked, “Little Miss, how was it?”
“When I go out, when will I not be able to accomplish anything? Here, I promised Ying the Hongbei family’s ninjutsu manual.” Chen Meng’er had just finished speaking, the car tilted to the right side of the road. “Ying, you don’t have to be so excited. Drive well. Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my words.”
Ying’s forehead was sweating. He just didn’t expect that his mistress was so awesome that she could even take the family heirloom of the Hongbei family.
Ying wasn’t the only one who was sweating. Even Skinny was looking at her. She was way too awesome. She actually took away the secret manual of the Hongbei family’s ninjutsu. Now, he deeply felt that his previous worries were unnecessary.
