The system jumped to me

Chapter 644 Lotus Building CP Li Lianhua

The disappearance of Miss Yu Er, the appearance of bloody footprints, Wang Fu's near death, and the shadow puppet killings—all of these point to a ghost.

"My lord, this is Yucheng's territory. I'm afraid things won't end well tonight."

"Don't worry." Li Lianhua quietly took Hua Xiaozhou's hand.

Regardless of who set this up, it's in his favor right now. He can use this opportunity to enter Jade City and, incidentally, investigate the whereabouts of the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance.

He was worried that his wife and children might have to go with him on this trip. He couldn't bear to leave them waiting outside. He was afraid that when he got home, his wife and children would be gone. What would he do then?

Li Lianhua suppressed his guilt and vowed that once everything was over, he would take his wife and live in seclusion, never to be separated again.

As for why he doesn't do it, he has his wife.

As if remembering something, Hua Xiaozhou forcefully pushed Li Lianhua's hand away and quickly walked through the gap.

Fang Duobing and Wang Fu consciously made way.

Hua Xiaozhou was furious when she saw the blood on the bundle.

"My clothes are covered in blood, how can I wear them?"

She turned to look at Fang Duobing.

"Compensate!"

The usually extravagant young master Fang was unusually embarrassed, and he said awkwardly:

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I don't have the money to compensate you right now. How about this, we cooperate. You can have your husband help me solve cases. After three cases, I'll be a formal criminal investigator. Then I'll have a monthly salary, and there will be a share of the profits from solving cases. We'll split it 20/80, I'll get 20% and you get 80%, how about that?"

Fang Duobing's eyes lit up as he finished speaking.

Hua Xiaozhou stared at him for a long while and said coldly:

"You wish!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

She neither agreed nor refused; it was Li Lianhua's business, and she wouldn't interfere.

Moreover, it's better to let Fang Duobing owe us this much so that we can get more back later.

"Everyone, don't move! Search!"

Chaos erupted outside the door: the sound of banging on the door, shouting, and the clanging of sword sheaths against armor. Yu Cheng's guards began a forced search, determined to find the Second Miss Yu who had disappeared again.

“We can’t open it. This cargo box can’t be opened before it reaches its destination. If you open it, how will we explain it to our employer?”

Cheng Yunhe winked at the person leaning against the window. Although he was the chief镖头 (head镖师, escort officer) of Hexing镖局 (Hexing Escort Agency), the woman next to him, wearing a bamboo hat and a black veil covering her face, was specially sent by the employer in the capital to supervise their private escort trip and to ensure that the yellow jade in the box was safe and sound.

He had already tested this person's skills from the beginning; they were unfathomable. Wasn't this the perfect time for him to make his move?

Hurry up and strike! Suppress the arrogance of these overbearing guards!

Completely wrapped up, the woman, on whom high hopes were placed, remained motionless, still feigning sleep with her eyes closed.

Seeing this, Cheng Yunhe had no choice but to draw his sword and threaten him.

The lead guard wouldn't tolerate anyone being arrogant on his turf. He drew his long sword and held it to Cheng Yunhe's neck.

The perceptive bodyguard quickly stepped in to mediate.

"This is Jade City. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Chief镖师, we should prioritize our own safety!"

Cheng Yunhe snapped out of his daze, broke out in a cold sweat, and showed his intention to retreat.

Upon seeing this, the lead guard swung his knife to remove the wax seal from the nearest cargo box. Lifting the wooden box lid, he was shocked to find a dead human head, surrounded by ice blocks for preservation.

"Head?"

Inside the house, the bodyguards and guards outside exclaimed in surprise, while Wang Dong, the waiter standing by the threshold, was on the verge of tears.

"Chief Escort Cheng, you...you've broken our shop's rules! We're practically acquaintances, you know the rules, we agreed not to bring in these unlucky things, how could you...bring in a human head?"
