When Ao Bai disappeared into the alley, Shang Zhiyun finally recovered from his shock. He touched his crotch nervously and found that it was a little wet.
Shang Zhiyun was ashamed. She covered her face and ran towards the inn like a young girl.
Ao Bai walked out from the corner contemptuously and looked at Shang Zhiyun's back. His eyes narrowed as he muttered to himself,"I hope that your old man will die soon. This way, I can spend less energy in the future.”
On the other side, at Delightful Fragrance Court.
In Li Yuehong's room, there was Chen Jinnan, Li Yuehong, and a man dressed like a scholar.
The three of them were sitting around a table and discussing something.
"Chief, Pleasant Fragrance Court might have been exposed.”Li Yuehong lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at Chen Jinnan.
This was because, ever since she was discovered by Ao Bai and Xue Ying in the morning, she had always felt that there were a few pairs of eyes in the dark observing the Pleasant Fragrance Courtyard.
Thus, Li Yuehong guessed that Delightful Fragrance Court had been noticed by Ao Bai.
"Were you exposed, or was it Delightful Fragrance Court?”The scholarly-looking young man opened his folding fan with a smile on his face. His eyes flickered with wisdom.
"Is there a difference? Young Master." Li Yuehong blinked her eyes in confusion and looked at the scholar with a frown.
"Of course there's a difference." The young scholar put away his folding fan and tapped the table lightly.""There's still a big difference."
"If only you were discovered, we can just transfer you. This mission is relatively simple.”
"But if the Pleasant Fragrance Court is exposed, then we'll have to move all of the members of the Heaven and Earth Society away from the Pleasant Fragrance Court.”
After the scholar finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Jinnan."Chief Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Jinnan frowned and did not speak. He was not a fool. He could tell what the scholar meant by transferring.
To put it bluntly, it was to abandon the chariot to protect the commander, to sacrifice the individual to protect the greater self.
"Young Master, this…"
Chen Jinnan looked devastated. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he couldn't.
"What? I can't make the decision." The scholar's eyes narrowed, and he opened his folding fan with a " pa " sound. He asked softly.
"Of course Young Master can make the decision." Chen Jinnan was shocked. He knew that the scholar was angry, so he quickly replied helplessly.
"Since I can make the decision, then I will make the decision.”A smile appeared on the scholar's face as he turned to look at Li Yuehong.""You still haven't told me whether you exposed me or the entire Pleasant Fragrance Court.”
Li Yuehong bit her lips and lowered her head,""Me?"
"Since you were the only one exposed, I think I don't have to say anything more for the sake of the big picture.”The scholar stood up and walked to the door while waving his folding fan. When he reached the door, he stopped and said calmly,""Chen Jinnan, I don't think I need to teach you what to do!”
With that, he smiled and opened the door, leaving proudly.
In the room, Chen Jinnan looked at Li Yuehong with a reproachful gaze."Yuehong, you're an old member of the Heaven and Earth Society, why can't you keep your cool?”
"Chief, I understand Young Master's intentions. There's no need for Chief to make the decision. I, Li Yuehong, will take on the responsibility alone and won't implicate the brothers and sisters of Pleasant Fragrance Court.”Li Yuehong stood up and knelt in front of Chen Jinnan."Thank you for taking care of me all these years, Chief.”
After saying that, he took out a dagger and stabbed it into his heart.
"Wait a minute."
Chen Jinnan grabbed Li Yuehong's wrist and took the dagger to stop her from committing suicide. He said,""Actually, you don't have to kill yourself. There's another way. Why don't I take your life?”
Li Yuehong's eyes lit up as she looked up at Chen Jinnan with hope.
After all, who wouldn't want to die if they could?
Even ants could live, let alone humans.
"Of course, I might make you suffer a little.”"Perhaps it'll be worse than death." Chen Jinnan frowned.”
"Chief, I'm willing to use my life to make up for my mistakes.”Although she said that, Li Yuehong's body trembled when she heard the words " living a life worse than death ".
"The day before yesterday, I went to Lord Ding Xiang's mansion and discovered that someone was secretly observing him. I think Ao Bai might have already suspected Lord Ding Xiang.”Chen Jinnan's eyes flashed with a trace of reluctance. In the end, he made up his mind and said through gritted teeth,"Since you've been exposed, I want you to assassinate Lord Ding Xiang. After heavily injuring Lord Ding Xiang, you'll be captured.”
Li Yuehong's pupils dilated and her face was filled with fear. She lowered her head and struggled violently in her heart.
She knew what it meant to be captured.
If they fell into the hands of the government, especially Oboi, they might be worse off than dead.
Li Yuehong raised her head and said firmly,""I'm willing to. This way, I can solve the siege of Pleasant Fragrance Yard, and secondly, I can keep Lord Ding Xiang alive. Sacrificing myself in exchange for the lives of many Heaven and Earth Society brothers and useful information about the future, I, Li Yuehong, will die a worthy death. Even if it's worse than death, I, Li Yuehong, will not hesitate.”
Chen Jinnan patted Li Yuehong's shoulder and said softly,"If you don't want to, I can talk to the young master and let you change places.”
"No need."
Li Yuehong waved her hand and said with a generous expression,""I've already made up my mind."
"This is the best way for you, isn't it?”
"Sigh."
Chen Jinnan shook his head and left with a heartbroken expression.
