Chapter 149: Danger In The Alley

Youyou shook his head. That person is very cautious. He goes in and out of Drunk Fragrance Pavilion every day and nowhere else. He looked a little guilty as he spoke. Ive let you down.

However, Lu Liangwei was unbothered and comforted him instead, Its alright. Theyll give themselves away over time. But you have to be careful; dont get too close and dont force yourself. Put your safety first before everything else.

The things that Lu Yunshuang was doing were nothing shady business, so it was natural that she would be extra careful not to let others find out.

Lu Liangwei had remembered by chance that the novel mentioned Lu Yunshuang secretly training a.s.sa.s.sins and accepting illegal business deals.

It was so that she could win over important court officials as well as acc.u.mulate personal wealth.

Evidently, she would not limit her business deal meetings to a single place. Unfortunately, the book did not explain where her other secret hideouts were.

Since they were destined to become enemies, she naturally wanted to figure out all the cards in Lu Yunshuangs hand so that she could keep her in check when they faced each other head-on in the future.

As a beggar, Youyou was her best helper.

Beggars were always wandering the streets, and n.o.body would pay them any notice.

After giving him some more instructions, Lu Liangwei left all the medicinal materials she had brought and departed with Zhu Yu.

On the way back, they were pa.s.sing through an alley when a person ran up to them. The person was stumbling as if in fright and seemed unaware of where she was going. Without even looking to see if someone was in her way, she ran right into them.

Both parties staggered two steps back before steadying themselves.

Lu Liangweis shoulder started hurting from the sudden blow. Zhu Yu immediately snapped, Hey, watch where youre going!

Hearing Zhu Yus furious tone, the person jumped in shock, then let out a scream and took to her heels.

Seeing that she did not apologize after b.u.mping into them and even had the nerve to flee, Zhu Yu could not contain her anger and quickly shot her arm out to block the person. What do you think youre doing? How could you just run off after b.u.mping into someone?

Exasperated, the person made to push Zhu Yu away. Go away!

Seeing this, Lu Liangwei hurriedly reached out and grabbed her arm. She was about to say something, but when she saw the persons face up close, she exclaimed in surprise, You?

It was none other than Lin Qingyuan.

Hearing a familiar voice, Lin Qingyuan was stunned at first, but in the next instant, she gripped Lu Liangweis arm as if it were her lifeline and said breathlessly, Lu Liangwei, help me. Someones trying to kill me.

Lu Liangwei was startled. Whats going on? Why would someone try to kill you?

Lin Qingyuan was about to say something when a masked man clothed in brocade clothing emerged in the narrow alley.

Its himhes the one trying to kill me. Lin Qingyuan pointed at the man with a trembling hand, her voice shaking with fear.

When the masked man saw Lu Liangwei, an unreadable emotion flashed through his eyes, but it turned into a murderous intent when he returned his gaze to Lin Qingyuan. Without another word, he drew his sword and charged directly at Lin Qingyuan.

Lin Qingyuan shrieked in fright, Chen Xuping, I know its you. Youre my fiance; how could you do this to me? My father wont let you get away with this!

The masked mans pupils dilated rapidly at her words, but he did not reply and attacked even more viciously.

All three of them would not be leaving this place alive.

Lu Liangwei was shocked when she detected the murderous intent in the mans eyes.

The tip of the mans sword was going to pierce Lin Qingyuans throat in the next second.

Lu Liangwei made eye contact with Zhu Yu, who had been scared out of her wits. With a shudder, she immediately started yelling at the top of her lungs, Help, help, someones trying to kill us

The masked mans eyes turned cold. Afraid that her shouts would bring unnecessary trouble, he hastened the a.s.sault.
