" Not good!" Azurepeak cried out in his heart. He pulled his sister's hand and ran to the edge of the roof. Without any explanation, he picked up his sister and jumped to another roof. Then, he jumped from another roof to the next roof.
When he heard someone shouting outside the door, the door of the main room opened from the inside. The person who heard the sound was the man who had been saved in the private room. He stood in the courtyard and looked at the roof under the moonlight. He saw the backs of a man and a woman. He did not see their faces clearly. The bearded man outside the door rushed in and said to the man who had been saved in the private room, Big Farmer, you're being followed." The bearded man also brought a few waiters with him. The waiters behind saw the man and woman running for their lives on the roof. The five waiters below were not strong enough to get up the roof, so they followed closely behind in the alley. For a moment, the two of them ran on the roof while the five men chased after them on the ground. It was very lively.
" How could I be followed? I've been hiding well as a beggar. Nothing has ever gone wrong." Farmer was surprised.
"I don't know either. You were targeted by that man at the steamer stall. Fortunately, the woman beside him shouted when he left the stall. Otherwise, our workers wouldn't have known. "He might be able to tell that you're pretending to be a beggar," the bearded man said.
" How did he see through it? Unless it's our own people, no one has ever seen through it before." Big Farmer was puzzled.
"He doesn't seem like one of us. Fortunately, we followed him closely. I'm afraid we didn't hear him on the roof just now. Otherwise, we would be in big trouble."
"Brother Beard, our location has been exposed. Should we move?”
"Okay, I'll ask the leader immediately. Wait for my news.”
Azurepeak brought his sister all the way to the rooftop near the main street. Seeing that a few men in the alley behind were about to catch up, he hugged his sister tightly and jumped into the bustling downtown. He pressed his sister's head with one hand and bent his head like a bow at the same time. Just like that, he ran left and right through the legs of the crowd. When the group of men escaped from the alley, they looked into the crowd on the street. There were people shopping at the night market everywhere. There was no way to find the person they were looking for, so they gave up.
After squeezing out of the crowd, Azurepeak turned around to see that it was safe before leading his sister back to the mansion.
Once they returned to the living room of the mansion, Azurepeak had yet to go upstairs when Meng Lin grabbed him, his eyes shining with surprise. Azurepeak did not know what his sister wanted to do, and he was also waiting for her to speak.
"Brother, where did you learn to fight?”
" Don't talk nonsense." Azurepeak was expressionless. He was about to go upstairs when Meng Lin pulled him back.
"Tell me, where did you learn it? I'll keep it a secret for you. By the way, do Father and Mother know?”
Azurepeak glared at his sister and said,"I've already said it, don't talk nonsense."
"Then tell me." Meng Lin was unyielding.
" Let me change my clothes first. You should change into your pajamas too. I'll tell you later." Azurepeak found an excuse to brush off his sister and give himself some time to think. Meng Lin let go of her hand and she happily returned to her room.
After washing up and changing into his pajamas, he saw that his brother was already sitting on the sofa in the living room. Azurepeak had been thinking about whether those people were of that kind of status and did not take his sister's coquettishness to heart.
" Brother, can you tell me now?" Meng Lin sat down beside her brother coquettishly.
"Don't be so surprised. It's just that I had a classmate who studied this before. I learned a few moves from him just to protect myself."
"Then can you teach me?" Meng Lin blinked his large eyes.
"You're a girl. Why are you learning this? If you're afraid, I'll arrange a bodyguard for you tomorrow."
" Brother, I admire you so much." Meng Lin looked at her brother, and her eyes shone with adoration. She knew that this was not her biological brother, and dating was not considered incest.
Azurepeak seemed to be frightened by the adoration in his sister's eyes. He did not say anything and calmly picked up the coffee cup on the coffee table and took a sip. Meng Lin felt a little awkward when she saw that her brother did not make a sound. At this moment, an intense struggle began to arise in her heart. Should she tell her brother about her background? Wouldn't it scare him if he told her? However, if she didn't tell him, she might never have the chance to fall in love. If she told him, she might scare him, but at least there was still a glimmer of hope. How should he say it? Meng Lin was really conflicted. He couldn't think of a better way for a while. However, Meng Lin was Meng Lin after all. Perhaps it was because the 21st century was different from the Republic of China. The girls of the new century were bold and daring. Now, she decided to " test the waters ".
"Brother, do you have a woman you like?”
"Uh…No, why did you ask?”Azurepeak didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still pretended to be calm.
"What kind of woman do you like?"
" I haven't thought about this before." Azurepeak smiled.
" Think about it now." Meng Lin was very naughty.
"Hehe, what's wrong with you tonight? Asking big brother such a sensitive question?"
"Think quickly, don't interrupt."
"I'm thinking about two questions now. Do you want to know which two?”
"Which two?"
"First, why were we being followed tonight? Second, what are those people doing in Yongle Alley?”
"That's right. Now that you mention it, I forgot. Why did you follow that person?”
Azurepeak saw that his sister's attention was distracted, and his heart was filled with joy. He thought to himself that this girl had been fooled so easily.
"Don't you think that beggar looks familiar?”
"He was wearing a straw hat. Who could see his face clearly?"
"You really can't tell?" Azurepeak pretended to be surprised.
"Aiya, brother, tell me quickly, who is he?”
"Do you still remember the person we saved in the private room on the ship?”
"It's him?" Meng Lin's eyes widened.
" I bandaged him. The gauze on his arm betrayed him."
"So he's a beggar. Then why are you following a beggar?”
"He's not a beggar. I don't know his identity at the moment."
"Oh, then why are you telling me this?”
"I'm telling you this because…I don't want to answer your sensitive question, haha."
" Sigh, how boring." Meng Lin looked helpless.
The siblings chatted on the sofa for a while. Meng Lin fell asleep on the sofa unknowingly. Azurepeak covered her with a blanket and prepared to return to her room.
Qingfeng, who was about to go to his room to sleep, suddenly heard a pleasant music coming from his sister's room opposite him. This music was not the music from the mansion's radio, and it was a western-style music. He did not know if his sister had brought the radio back from England to the Shanghai mansion, but the music had been playing. Qingfeng hesitated whether he should go into his sister's room to help turn off the music. Thinking about how his sister had fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room, he did not have the heart to disturb her. It was not a good idea to leave the radio on, so he decided to go in personally and turn it off before returning to his room to rest.
After entering the door, she kept looking for the radio, but there was no radio anywhere she could see. Then why was there music? Suddenly, the music stopped. Just as Azurepeak was about to leave the room, the music started again. Azurepeak was really confused. He followed the music and found that the music was near the table, under the book on the table.
He carefully opened the book and found that it was the thing he found in the box under Meng Lin's pillow in the Xia residence. Now, this thing was ringing and there were a few words on it: Wenhui picked up and hung up.
Answer? Hanging up? Wenhui? It was shocking to hear that in 1909, the Italian Maroni was known as the "Father of Radio". As early as the end of the last century, Europe invented wireless phones. So this thing was a wireless phone? It seems that someone called Wenhui is calling. Why don't I try answering it?
Azurepeak held his breath and pressed the answer button gently. He put the phone to his ear.
Let's talk about Wenhui first. Wen Hui saw that Yiyi had not contacted her for a few months and wondered how this girl was doing. She was worried and took the initiative to call and ask. Who knew that no one would pick up the first call, but someone picked up the second call, but there was no sound. What was this girl doing? Wen Hui kept calling out," Hello, hello," but there was still no answer on the other end of the phone.
Azurepeak remained silent. After a while, the other party hung up.
As soon as Wen Hui hung up the phone, she began to mutter to herself," What the hell is Yiyi doing? She either doesn't answer the call or doesn't say anything after answering it. This doesn't seem like this girl's personality. Could it be that…something happened?" At the thought of this, Wenhui was a little afraid. Could something really have happened? Hit him again!
Azurepeak realized that the call had been hung up and was thinking about how to deal with it. The phone rang again. This time, he quickly pressed the answer button and said,"Hello."
Wen Hui suddenly heard the other party's voice and was pleasantly surprised. She was happy that the call was finally connected and surprised that the other party was actually a man. Thinking of men, Wenhui was a little nervous. Yiyi didn't tell her that she was in a relationship. Could it be that…she was kidnapped?
" Hello," Azurepeak's steady voice sounded.
"Hello, I'm looking for Yiyi. Who are you?”Wen Hui was a little frightened.
"Yiyi? I'm sorry, but there's no one here."
"Then…where is this?" Wen Hui broke out in a cold sweat. This was clearly Yiyi's phone number. It was impossible for her to change her phone number without informing me.
"This is the Xia Family Residence in Shanghai. By the way, who are you?”
"Residence? "This is clearly my friend's phone number. Who are you? What did you do to her?" Wenhui was anxious.
"I'm sorry, Miss. This is indeed the Xia family's residence, and there's indeed no woman named Yiyi. Could you please confirm it again?”
Wen Hui was stunned after hanging up the phone. Although she had never seen the man on the other end of the phone, she didn't feel like he was a bad person from his tone and upbringing. Then why didn't he admit that this was Yiyi's call? And why didn't Yiyi pick up the phone? Oh right, what kind of place is the Xia residence? Hurry up and look it up on the internet. Tomorrow, I'll look for Yiyi.
After Wen Hui went online to check, she realized that there was no mention of the Xia family mansion. Her first reaction was that she had been deceived by the d * mned man on the phone. " Something must have happened to Yiyi. I have to call the police." At the thought of this, Wen Hui dialed 110…
