The scar-faced man hesitated for a moment and then a trick came into his mind. He looked excited surprisingly.
He secretly pulled the tall man to an alley and whispered in his ear, “How about we go back and tell the boss that they have left Jiangzhou City?
“Look. Anyway, the boss just doesn’t want these people to be in the way. If they leave, won’t he be satisfied?”
The tall man rolled his eyes and rebuked crossly, “If you still want to keep your head, I advise you to give up this unrealistic plan earlier.”
Seeing that the scar-faced man looked at him blankly, the tall man continued to curse, “Think about what kind of person our boss is. He has not only two runners, us. His spies are everywhere in the city. Can we fool him by saying only a few words randomly?”
The scar-faced man remembered their boss’s methods, so he was scared and didn’t dare to say anything.
He just asked in depression, “What should we do?”
“Alas, let’s go back and report to the boss. Check what plan he has.” The tall man sighed helplessly.
Nobody knew whether he comforted the scar-faced man or himself, and he said softly, “The boss has many spies. We failed, but perhaps somebody makes it somewhere else. Let’s go back and see.”
The two looked at each other in silence and slowly left the empty alley, coming back to the street.
After a while, two people walked out from the other end of the alley.
They were Mo Junyang and Shi Qingxue whom the scar-faced man couldn’t see after searching everywhere.
Shi Qingxue stared at the two receding figures and asked with a frown, “Who do you think their boss is?”
If Shi Qingxue didn’t see the good play after they two hid, she couldn’t believe that they were traced.
However, it was not logical.
They had been in Jiangzhou City for only a few days. Why was there something wrong?
Where did they expose themselves?
Mo Junyang answered casually, “Anyway, it’s one of the few high-ranking officials in Jiangzhou City.”
As for who it was, he didn’t care at all indeed.
Shi Qingxue was affected by his unconcerned attitude and got relieved.
She just joked, “By the way, you tried every means to disguise, yet it doesn’t work. We have been here for only several days, but we were almost caught. Gee.”
She intentionally showed disdain because she wanted to tease Mo Junyang.
However, the man didn’t fall into her trap but responded indifferently, “Since we have chosen to get ourselves into trouble, such an accident is under control.”
Shi Qingxue was speechless.
Mo Junyang said it vaguely, while she still noticed it.
He obviously said that if they didn’t look for trouble as they saved Ye Zhixin, the people in Jiangzhou City couldn’t find their disguise.
Shi Qingxue pondered for a moment, and in the end, she had to admit that Mo Junyang might be right.
“What do you think we should do? Go back and throw away Ye Zhixin?” Shi Qingxue asked gloomily.
Mo Junyang shook his head this time. “It is fine if we have thrown her away earlier, but now since somebody provoked, it will be fine as we have a bargain chip.”
Shi Qingxue was rendered speechless again and felt uncomfortable for no reason.
She thought that she was not merciful, and she just saved Ye Zhixin conveniently. She wouldn’t put herself in danger because of a strange girl.
She wasn’t so kind-hearted.
Even if Mo Junyang told her to go back and throw away Ye Zhixin, she wouldn’t hesitate.
In fact, Mo Junyang didn’t care about this supervisor’s daughter.
However, the man looked indifferent and didn’t take an outsider as a person, which made her uncomfortable.
On the one hand, Shi Qingxue knew that Mo Junyang didn’t have mercy because of his living environment of two lives, and even in his eyes, all people were just bargain chips, while on the other hand, he made her feel at a loss.
If there was a word “antisocial” in this era, Shi Qingxue would use it to describe Mo Junyang without hesitation.
The cold-blooded, violent, cruel and indifferent personality the man showed was antisocial.
Shi Qingxue thought that she was a normal person, so she couldn’t accept something like this.
She displayed a complicated expression and stared at Mo Junyang for a long time, while he couldn’t understand what she was thinking about.
However, Mo Junyang was always expressionless. Even though he was doubtful, he just frowned slightly and asked impassively, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Qingxue shook her head subconsciously.
After pondering for a moment, she sighed with emotion half-genuinely. “Fortunately, you love me, and I love you, too.”
She said that in a low voice like murmuring, yet Mo Junyang heard it clearly.
He still didn’t say anything but kept a poker face as always, while there was softness in his eyes obviously.
They stood opposite to each other for a while, and then Mo Junyang pursed his lips. “Let’s go back.”
Shi Qingxue nodded with flagging interest and returned to their house with Mo Junyang.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Wei Ziye reported happily, “Ye Zhixin has woken up.”
“Really? It’s great.” Shi Qingxue finally got joyful and wanted to ask Ye Zhixin, but after she took one step, she looked back at Mo Junyang.
She asked hesitantly, “Do you want to ask her about something?”
Mo Junyang still shook his head and replied softly, “It’s not the right time now.”
When would be the right time?
When Shi Qingxue had this question in her brain, there was a knock on the courtyard door behind them.
The three were stunned and looked at the door alertly.
The door was still being knocked slightly on and off, which showed the comer’s indecisiveness.
“It must be fine. Go to open the door,” Mo Junyang ordered simply.
Wei Ziye walked to the door gently and suddenly pulled the door open after the next knock.
The person who knocked at the door next to it couldn’t keep his balance but rushed in.
Wei Ziye swiftly lifted the comer’s back collar and then dragged him to them.
The comer was short, as tall as Wei Ziye’s chest. When he was lifted, he was like a beast which would be killed and looked pitiful, with no power to fight back.
“Why did you come?” Wei Ziye saw the comer clearly and asked with a frown.
Shi Qingxue was wondering why a little boy came here. Hearing Wei Ziye’s question, she asked curiously, “Ziye, who is this?”
Wei Ziye replied, “I went to a clinic to find a doctor for Ye Zhixin, and this is the young disciple in that clinic.”
It was still a child, yet Wei Ziye was hard-hearted and didn’t show mercy when he took actions.
He glared at the young disciple coldly, and the latter shouted at once, begging for mercy, “Sir, please spare my life. I came to send a message to you specially as my boss ordered.”
“What message?”
“He said that some people from the government have spied on you, and they will come to capture you soon. Please go out of the city to escape as soon as possible,” the young disciple stuttered and finished his words with difficulty.
He was lifted and felt unwell, while under Wei Ziye’s ferocious eyes, he didn’t dare to struggle but peeped at Shi Qingxue from time to time.
He showed a pitiful expression in his eyes.
Shi Qingxue could certainly understand that the boy knew that she might be soft-hearted so he asked her for help.
However, thinking of the purpose of this boy’s arrival, she still reminded Wei Ziye out of kindness, “Ziye, put him down first.”
Wei Ziye naturally wouldn’t disobey Shi Qingxue. He loosened his hand and the young disciple fell on the ground, staggering before standing steadily with difficulty.
Shi Qingxue asked, “Why did your boss tell you to send us a message?”
She didn’t believe that a free meal would fall on her. The old doctor was afraid of the people from the government evidently and helped them save Ye Zhixin in secret, which was a taboo. He didn’t report to the government probably because he didn’t want to get himself into trouble, but he sent a message to them, which was too much.
The young disciple didn’t dare to hide it from her, so he responded honestly, “My boss is afraid that you will expose him after you are captured, so he wants you to leave Jiangzhou City as soon as possible and go away as far as possible.”
The answer was snobbish yet frank.
Mo Junyang suddenly asked, “How did you find this place?”
The other two finally realized that Wei Ziye carried Ye Zhixin to see a doctor in the clinic and then took the medicinal herbs back, decocting them at home.
Logically, the people in the clinic must not know where they lived.
At the mention of this matter, the young disciple couldn’t help but show a complacent expression on his face. “Aha, Sir, you know what? Jiangzhou City is big, yet all the neighbors are acquaintances, and as a young disciple in a clinic, I often send medicinal herbs to the customers and wander about the streets.
“I dare to brag that there is no family that I don’t know in this city, but I have never seen you before, so you must have come lately. I asked the neighbors earlier and knew that this house was bought by a stranger more than ten days ago, so I can guess most.”
Shi Qingxue and Wei Ziye were dumbfounded, and even Mo Junyang couldn’t help but look at this young disciple several times.
After Wei Ziye was stunned for a moment, he turned pale and suddenly knelt in front of Mo Junyang. “I didn’t do a good job. Please punish me, Master.”
The young disciple praised himself for a while and felt complacent, and he was relieved, yet he saw that Wei Ziye who looked ferocious was so obedient to this tall and big man, so he looked at Mo Junyang a few times curiously.
Unfortunately, the tall and big man stood in front of him and blocked his sight immediately. The invisible oppression made him have no courage to gasp, and he felt more scared than before.
The tall and big man didn’t say anything but even rewarded him with a silver ingot and told him to go, yet the young disciple didn’t feel less frightened because of this.
The young disciple didn’t dare to stay but ran away faster than a hare.
Seeing that Wei Ziye was still kneeling and refused to get up, Shi Qingxue stared at Mo Junyang.
This man didn’t blame Wei Ziye, but he didn’t say anything. Did he think that all people could read his emotions like her?
Qingxue sighed and decided to be a good person. She bent over and helped Wei Ziye up while explaining for Mo Junyang, “Don’t worry. Your master doesn’t blame you. No matter how thoughtful you are, you may make mistakes by accident. Moreover, how can a normal person be so meticulous?”
To be honest, what the young disciple said was obvious, yet Qingxue thought that even she might not guess it.
Wei Ziye refused to get up. Even though Qingxue said a lot patiently, he just lowered his head and pursed his lips. His only words were, “Please punish me, Master.”
Shi Qingxue could do nothing to him. At the moment, the courtyard door was pounded heavily.
