Chapter 96 Countermeasures

"etc!"

Liu Yiyi stepped forward, water droplets dripping from her body.

She grabbed Lin Mo's arm, the jealousy in her beautiful eyes replaced by a hint of fear.

"You're saying... that maid named Qingzhu tried to stab you with a dagger?"

Liu Yiyi's voice trembled.

As she asked the question, her eyes quickly scanned Lin Mo, checking for any injuries.

Lin Mo felt a warmth in his heart, and he took her cold little hand in his own and squeezed it tighter.

"Don't be afraid, my wife, I'm alright."

"That kind of amateurish skill can't hurt me."

Lin Mo spoke in a relaxed tone.

But Liu Yiyi couldn't smile.

Her fingertips traced the back of Lin Mo's heart, as if she could still feel the chill of that fatal blow.

At this moment, all notions of prostitution and other women were cast to the winds.

She felt as if her man had just narrowly escaped death.

As Lin Mo continued his narration, as information such as "Prefect Jia Ren," "secret letter from the capital," and "Dingtai Tea House" were revealed one by one, the slight anger and fear on Liu Yiyi's face were gradually replaced by a layer of solemnity.

Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed.

My mind raced, searching for that name, but it was the same as Lin Mo's.

Got nothing.

"I've never heard of this place before."

Liu Yiyi's voice turned somber, and in an instant, she returned to her "Master Liu" state, in charge of everything.

"To be able to turn a fourth-rank official of the imperial court into a lackey, paying a thousand taels of silver a month just to buy intelligence, and to extend one's reach directly into Black Wind City..."

"The opponent's strength is probably... not to be underestimated."

"My wife is indeed amazing; she grasped the key point immediately."

Lin Mo sat down by the pool and patted the spot next to him, signaling Liu Yiyi to sit down as well.

"The first person I thought of when I heard this news was you."

He looked into Liu Yiyi's eyes, his tone sincere.

"In the entire Dingbei Prefecture, only you, my wife, can help me analyze the danger behind this."

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Especially after just experiencing an emotional rollercoaster, this complete trust is more effective than any sweet words.

Hearing her husband praise her like this, Liu Yiyi felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and the seriousness on her face eased a little.

She glanced at Lin Mo sideways, her eyes sparkling with a natural allure.

"Hmph, now you realize how good I am?"

She stretched out her fair, delicate feet and kicked them in the pool, creating a string of sparkling water droplets.

"I wonder who it was, who swore during the day that they would treat someone to a meal."

"But at night, he goes to other women's places for tea..."

Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated by these sarcastic remarks.

How did we end up back on this topic again?

Looking at Liu Yiyi's lazy yet slightly resentful appearance.

Lin Mo suddenly laughed, a somewhat mischievous laugh.

"My wife is right."

Lin Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Yiyi's snow-white foot, which was still splashing around in the water.

It feels delicate and smooth to the touch, like jade.

"what!"

Liu Yiyi gasped in surprise, instantly losing her balance.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone to see other women, and I shouldn't have brought her scent back with me."

Lin Mo's voice was deep as he pulled Liu Yiyi into his arms.

"so……"

"I've decided to accept my wife's punishment..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Mo swept Liu Yiyi up in his arms, turned around, and strode into the pool!

"Splash!"

"what!"

Liu Yiyi cried out in surprise.

A huge splash of water erupted, scattering countless rose petals in all directions.

In a dizzying moment, Liu Yiyi cried out again, only to be pressed against the smooth, cool jade pool wall by Lin Mo with an absolutely forceful posture.

Liu Yiyi leaned against the cool pool wall, while in front of her was a man's burning hot chest. The contrast between the cold and the hot made her tremble all over.

She raised her head, her captivating eyes now shimmering with tears and misty with tears.

The initial reproach and teasing had long been replaced by astonishment and a hint of barely suppressed panic.

"My husband, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Mo silenced her with a sharp kiss.

Domineering, forceful, leaving no room for error.

The water in the bathtub.

It's getting hotter.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the ripples in the pool finally subsided.

Liu Yiyi leaned weakly against Lin Mo's chest.

The jealousy and resentment from before had long since dissipated.

A captivating blush lingered on that stunningly beautiful face.

Lin Mo lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead, his voice slightly hoarse from the afterglow.

"Now, does it still smell like other women?"

Liu Yiyi buried her face in Lin Mo's firm chest, like a lazy cat, and hummed softly.

"That's all."

Her voice was soft and sweet.

"It's all...my scent."

Lin Mo chuckled softly, the vibrations of his chest sending a tingling sensation through her body.

She suddenly raised her head, and her beautiful eyes regained their clear light.

"Husband, what do you think of that 'Ding Tai Tea House'?"

She didn't forget the important matter.

Or rather, it was precisely because of that recent intimacy that she realized this more clearly.

Everything they have now is built upon such immense danger.

Any oversight could lead to utter ruin.

"I'm thinking, maybe this... isn't a bad thing."

Lin Mo held Liu Yiyi in his arms and said calmly.

"That dark force hiding in the capital is so cautious. Even after exiling our whole family to this godforsaken place, they still don't feel at ease and are willing to spend a lot of money to plant spies."

"This only shows that he is very scared."

"He was afraid that our Lin family would rise up one day, afraid that we would find out the truth of what happened back then, afraid that we... would go back and seek revenge on him."

Liu Yiyi instantly understood Lin Mo's meaning.

"So, we can take advantage of that!"

"That's right."

Lin Mo gave her an approving look.

"He wants intelligence, so we give him intelligence."

"I instructed Jia Ren to continue writing letters to the capital."

"However, I'll decide on the content."

"Just write that the Lin family is about to collapse, and the brothers are terminally ill."

"I, Lin Mo, am so grief-stricken that I cough up blood every day, and I'm so poor that I can't even afford a coffin."

Liu Yiyi nodded. "Showing weakness to the enemy is a good method."

"What about Feng Niang?" Liu Yiyi's voice lowered. "How do you plan to cooperate with her?"

When Feng Niang was mentioned, Lin Mo's eyes became deep.

"The Crimson Phoenix Hall is deeply entrenched in Black Wind City. Its intelligence network is even more effective than that of the government. She is the best candidate to investigate 'Dingtai Tea House'."

"I showed my strength today and whetted her appetite, so she will help me."

"As for the cost..."

Lin Mo coughed as he recalled Feng Niang's alluring figure and captivating eyes.

"As long as it doesn't involve principles, we can let her take advantage of some things in business dealings."

Looking at his slightly unnatural expression, Liu Yiyi immediately understood.

She reached out her small hand and gently pinched his waist.

"Cheap? Is it a business discount, or... something else?"

Lin Mo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"It's business, of course!"

He immediately changed the subject, and with a swift movement, swept the stunning beauty in his arms into a horizontal embrace!

"Splash—"

Water splashed everywhere.
