Chapter 42 Lei Jiaojiao

"Brother Handsome!" After the banquet, Lei Jiaojiao followed Li Meinan back to the guest house.

Lei Jiaojiao looked at him with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of excitement.

"Jiaojiao, don't cry, your handsome brother said he would come to save you, and he will definitely come to save you.

Don't worry, your handsome brother will definitely take you away one day!"

Li Meinan was busy wiping Lei Jiaojiao's tears.

Lei Jiaojiao looked at his panic and finally burst into laughter.

"Brother handsome, you haven't changed at all, you are still so considerate."

"Hehe~" Li Meinan scratched his head embarrassedly.

There was a simple and innocent smile on his face.

With that big and strong body and that smile, he looks a bit silly.

Meng Jue has returned to the room, but Jiang Li and Zhang Ruonan are still here.

They stayed here to hear their next plan.

In order to avoid being ignorant and getting cheated in the end.

Although they agreed to mind their own business, Jiang Li wanted to minimize the impact.

So as not to affect your own tasks.

"That's enough for the two of you. Let's get down to business. Jiang Li and I need to go back to our room to rest."

Seeing that they were still talking about the same old thing, Zhang Ruonan interrupted them impatiently.

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Zhang. I was so happy to see the handsome man that I forgot myself for a moment and kept you two waiting for so long."

Lei Jiaojiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then apologized to the two of them with an apologetic look on her face.

"It's my fault, don't blame Jiaojiao." Li Meinan quickly spoke up to defend her.

"Let's talk business." Jiang Li raised his eyes to look at him and said coldly.

Li Meinan shuddered and spoke cautiously, "Sister Jiaojiao, you are familiar with the City Lord's Mansion. When do you think it would be best for us to leave?"

Li Meinan also knew that she was not very smart, and she thought she had come up with a perfect plan, but it was easily seen through.

This time he learned his lesson and simply let Lei Jiaojiao decide the time of escape.

It’s obvious that Lei Jiaojiao is smarter than him, so she must be better at timing than him.

"There will be an opportunity in two days, and we can take the opportunity to leave the City Lord's Mansion." Lei Jiaojiao thought for a moment and gave an approximate time.

"What opportunity?" Jiang Li asked.

Lei Jiaojiao: "In two days, it will be Lu Yunyi's birthday. By then, the entire City Lord's Mansion will focus on Lu Yunyi and will not pay attention to us. We can take this opportunity to leave."

“I know that Lu Yunyi is Madam Lu’s niece and the cousin of the City Lord’s Mansion.

I heard that she is very favored in the City Lord's Mansion. It seems to be true. Even her birthday celebration is such a big deal.

It actually attracted the attention of the entire City Lord's Mansion." Zhang Ruonan murmured.

"Actually...actually, cousin Yun Yi's life isn't easy either." Lei Jiaojiao said in a low voice, then realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and her face was full of regret.

"Lu Yunyi is so highly regarded, how could her life be difficult?" Li Meinan, a carefree person, did not take these words to heart.

Jiang Li and Zhang Ruonan, however, took it to heart and felt that this matter was more complicated than it actually was.

This cousin doesn't seem as favored as she appears to be. Instead, she seems...

Speaking of Lu Yunyi, Li Meinan remembered the important matter.

"By the way, sister Jiaojiao, do you know about the heart-digging case that has recently caused panic among the people of Thunder Emperor City?

Tell me the truth, is this matter related to the City Lord's Mansion and Lu Yunyi?"

Li Meinan is not the kind of person who can keep things in his heart. He thinks it would be better to ask Lei Jiaojiao directly than to investigate it himself.

Lei Jiaojiao wanted to escape from the City Lord's Mansion, so she would not hide anything for the Lei family. Li Meinan's sudden question not only scared Lei Jiaojiao, but also made Jiang Li and Zhang Ruonan almost choke on their own saliva.

No, you are so direct!

How can you ask questions like that!
What if Lei Jiaojiao turns against us and tells the people in the City Lord's Mansion what Li Meinan asked?

No matter how dumb one is, one can definitely guess that their purpose of entering the City Lord's Mansion at this time is related to the heart-digging case.

By then, they will all be in big trouble!

After being stunned for a moment, Lei Jiaojiao quickly reacted.

"How do you know that the heart-digging case is related to the City Lord's Mansion?" As soon as the question was asked, Lei Jiaojiao waved her hand as if she had never asked.

"Forget it, no matter how you knew it.

Don’t tell anyone about this, or your mother will never let you leave alive!"

Seeing that her eyes were serious and didn't seem fake, the three of them felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"So, this heart-digging case is not only related to Lu Yunyi, but also to Mrs. Lu!" This truth almost made Li Meinan drop her jaw.

He didn't understand why the city lord's wife would do such a thing. He really didn't understand!
"Just pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, none of us can interfere in this matter, or we will be killed."

Lei Jiaojiao reminded everyone with a serious face.

"I have a question." Jiang Li looked at Lei Jiaojiao and said.

"What do you want to ask?" Lei Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"Who is the murderer who committed the heart-digging case?

I know that neither Mrs. Lu nor Lu Yunyi can do this kind of thing personally.

Who in the City Lord's Mansion is responsible for executing this order?" Jiang Li just looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

Lei Jiaojiao was also looking at Jiang Li. Seeing that her eyes were serious and seemed determined to get an answer, she sighed helplessly.

"It's Lei Laowu, the son of Butler Lei."

"Thank you for telling me. You can continue chatting. We won't disturb you anymore." After thanking him, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, Brother Jiang!" Lei Jiaojiao hurriedly called out to him.

“I know that Brother Jiang Daoist is asking these questions because he wants to intervene in the heart-digging case.

But take my advice, the water here is too deep.

For your own safety, and for the sake of who you are as a person, stay out of this.

Otherwise, your life will be in danger."

Jiang Li nodded, thanked Lei Jiaojiao again, and without saying anything else, he just took Zhang Ruonan and left first.

After Jiang Li left, Lei Jiaojiao didn't stay long and went back to the yard where she lived.

The next day, Jiang Li began to wander around the City Lord's Mansion, secretly observing the layout of the mansion and the distribution of guards.

During this process, she also met Lei Laowu.

This Lei Laowu is a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building and the son of Steward Lei.

The reason why he is called Lei Laowu is because he is the fifth son of Steward Lei. The previous four are either mortals or have poor talents.

Only Lei Laowu has good talent and has dual spiritual roots.

So for Steward Lei, Lei Laowu is his most valued son.

He was brought to his side to educate him personally, and was also arranged to be by the side of the eldest young master Lei Tianqi, so that he could work for Lei Tianqi.

Lei Laowu's status in the City Lord's Mansion is second only to a few masters and Butler Lei.

Because he usually behaves arrogantly, no one in the mansion dares to offend him.

Lei Laowu's popularity in the mansion is quite bad.
