Chapter 77 The Passerby Shopkeeper in a Jianghu Novel
Finally, Lin Qingdeng could no longer contain himself and made his way to the cell where the mysterious man was being held, hoping to slip in during a moment when the guards were a little lax.
But as soon as she got close, the two guards who were slacking off spotted her and rushed over to stop her.
"Miss Lin, this is restricted area, please leave!"
"Get out of the way!"
While they were shoving each other, someone had already reported it to Yun Zhaoting.
Yun Zhaoting rushed over.
Lin Qingdeng turned to look at him, her pent-up confusion and unease from the past few days erupting instantly, and she directly questioned him:
"Yun Zhaoting! Tell me honestly, was it Manager Wen who rescued Ye Fuguang at Luoyan Mountain?!"
"Is he the one locked up inside?!"
Yun Zhaoting did not answer, but said to the servant beside him:
"Miss Lin is probably exhausted from traveling for days and is not thinking clearly. Take her downstairs to rest."
"open!"
Lin Qingdeng suddenly broke free from the servant's support and stared intently at Yun Zhaoting.
A terrible but reasonable idea took shape in my mind.
"Was that mark on my neck from Manager Wen that day also his?!"
The guards and servants looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but dared not look at them.
"Miss Lin!"
Yun Zhaoting's face darkened, and the oppressive atmosphere around him made it hard to breathe.
"This is my private matter, and it's none of your business."
Lin Qingdeng remembered that Manager Wen had clearly stated that she did not like men, so there could only be one possibility.
Thinking of this, she became extremely angry.
"You dare say you didn't do anything to him?"
"Yun Zhaoting, he doesn't like men at all, how could you force him? You're not a gentleman!"
These words struck Yun Zhaoting hard at his sore spot.
His face turned completely cold.
"Miss Lin, the Yun family is very busy and we are afraid we cannot entertain you. Someone, please escort Miss Lin home."
When the head of the household spoke, the servant stopped looking up and down and immediately stepped forward.
They grabbed Lin Qingdeng, who was still struggling, from both sides and dragged her out.
"Yun Zhaoting!"
"You'll regret treating him like this!"
Yun Zhaoting stood there for a moment before turning and leaving.
Before leaving, he instructed the guards: "Keep a good watch."
"yes!"
The guard bowed in agreement, watching Yun Zhaoting's figure disappear at the end of the road.
Guard Xiao Du: "Hey, what did they mean by what they just said?"
Guard Kobayashi: "If you understand, stop pretending, okay?"
Guard Xiao Du: "Hehe."
-
Yun Zhaoting was not as calm as he appeared.
Lin Qingdeng's words were like a thin, sharp thorn, firmly embedded in his heart.
He didn't regret his drunken recklessness that day after he sobered up.
What's done is done.
But before Yu Bai woke up, he still chose to flee in panic.
He didn't have the courage to face Wen Yubai's appearance after he woke up, afraid to see the disgust and hatred in his eyes.
But this can't go on forever.
One night, the night was cool and still.
Yun Zhaoting walked to the cell door, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
As soon as I stepped in, a water glass was thrown at my face.
It shattered with a "crack" at my feet.
"go out."
Wen Yubai sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him coldly, his eyes filled with a distant chill.
Yun Zhaoting felt a suffocating pain in his chest.
Meeting that gaze, he turned and closed the door, then walked step by step to the young man.
He knelt down, presented the sword with both hands, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Yu Bai, just kill me."
Wen Yubai looked at Yun Zhaoting's face.
Yun Zhaoting, who used to care about his image, now has dark circles under his eyes and looks extremely haggard.
Hey.
"I really want to kill you."
But he couldn't; if the male protagonist died, the mission would fail.
Upon hearing this, the light in Yun Zhaoting's eyes dimmed completely.
He suddenly drew his sword and plunged it into his own body without any mercy.
"Pfft—"
Blood gushed out instantly, staining his white clothes red.
"What are you doing?!"
Wen Yubai didn't even have time to get up; he rushed forward to help him up and check his injuries.
Yun Zhaoting, however, seemed oblivious to the pain.
Instead, she took advantage of his support and hugged him.
She buried her face in the side of his neck, his hot breath brushing against her skin.
"I'm sorry, Yu Bai, it's my fault..."
Blood was still gushing out, and Wen Yubai could feel his chest getting wet.
"Stop talking! Are you out of your mind?!"
Yun Zhaoting raised his face, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.
He gazed into Wen Yubai's eyes, cautiously seeking confirmation:
"You're worried about me, aren't you?"
Wen Yubai: ...
A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me, and I couldn't even muster the energy to get angry.
-
After that day, their relationship improved considerably.
Wen Yubai was released and moved back into the courtyard that the Yun family had arranged for him.
Yun Zhaoting seemed to have completely reverted to the role of a friend, and his words and actions all adhered to that role.
No one mentioned what had happened before, as if the loss of control and absurdity had never occurred.
However, Yun Zhaoting said that the antidote for Huanli San had just run out, and he had asked the doctor to prepare an emergency dose.
During this period, for Wen Yubai's safety, she hoped he could stay by her side at all times.
Wen Yubai wasn't stupid; without a second thought, he decisively rejected the suggestion.
He felt that the greatest danger now was Yun Zhaoting.
Fortunately, Yun Zhaoting seemed to have cleared his head considerably and was finally able to communicate properly.
Wen Yubai brought up the day he was kidnapped.
"That night, the guards heard something unusual coming from your room. When they rushed over, you said that nothing was wrong and told them to leave."
"When I went to look for you the next day, the room was already empty. There was a note that said there was an emergency at home and I had to leave before I could say goodbye in person."
"I sent people to look for you, but there was no news."
"Later, you sent another letter through someone, saying that you had gone to the north and would not be back for a while."
In the end, Yun Zhaoting lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with self-reproach.
"It's all my fault. If I had noticed something was wrong, you wouldn't have been kidnapped for so long and suffered so much."
Wen Yubai didn't reply, looking at the forged letter in his hand.
He had seen the handwriting of Yue Wuhen and Su Han, and neither of them had this style.
If this wasn't arranged in advance by Yue Wuhen, then there was a third person on that day.
And this person is very likely the lurking illegal intruder.
The fact that they were able to quickly disguise his voice and letters after he was kidnapped clearly indicates that they were from the Yun family and had such a good understanding of the situation.
He told Yun Zhaoting his guess.
Yun Zhaoting: "You mean, I have a spy from Moonshadow Pavilion among my people?"
"There might be a third party involved," Wen Yubai suggested, guiding him to think more deeply.
Yun Zhaoting's face darkened. "I'll investigate immediately."
Wen Yubai wasn't idle either; while Yun Zhaoting investigated the people on the surface, he secretly observed them.
Write down all the suspicious people on a piece of paper.
He sat at the table, analyzing and piecing together the clues from the names on the paper.
Each one is eliminated by crossing it out with ink.
His expression was focused.
"Squeak."
The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Wen Yubai thought it was Yun Zhaoting, but when he looked up he realized it wasn't.
He frowned slightly, reached for the scrap paper next to him, and casually covered it on the table.
The man smiled and walked closer to the table.
"Brother Wen, what are you busy with?"
