Chen Changsheng's brief guidance soon came to an end. He ordered the servants to prepare hot water—he wanted to bathe.
Lin Yuan took this opportunity to successfully slip beyond the escort agency's perimeter guard.
"Who's there?"
An escort master hiding in the shadows suddenly stepped out.
Seeing this, Wu Fangfang said, "Uncle Liu, it's me!"
"What are you doing here?"
"My father told me to go ahead and check the situation. Also, I'll stand guard here."
Hearing this answer, the escort master surnamed Liu hesitated for a moment before ultimately choosing to leave.
Though Wu Fangfang had a poor reputation, her father was a renowned escort master in Dragon Gate City.
When it came to escorting goods, her father would not make mistakes.
After successfully sending away the escort master guarding the outskirts, Wu Fangfang produced a longsword and slowly walked in a certain direction.
Splash!
Lin Yuan, who was drawing water with a bucket, suddenly looked up.
When he saw the killing intent filling Wu Fangfang's eyes, Lin Yuan immediately said, "Miss, what are you doing here?"
"Nothing. Just looking around."
"Did you take something you shouldn't have seen a few days ago?"
"Miss, I don't know what you mean."
Lin Yuan slowly rose to his feet while Wu Fangfang pressed closer step by step.
"Do you truly not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
"Miss, if there's something you want to ask, just say it. Why beat around the bush?"
Seeing Lin Yuan's bewildered expression, Wu Fangfang finally lowered the killing intent in her eyes.
"Looks like you really don't know. You're not allowed to tell anyone about why I came to see you today."
"No problem. I absolutely won't say a word!"
Having received Lin Yuan's promise, Wu Fangfang turned and left.
Whoosh!
