Sikong Wuyuan quickly said, pretending to be touched, âl can see that you donât have such intentions. Donât worry, I wonât doubt you anymore. Iâm really sorry, Zhang Xiaoni.â
Zhang Xiaoniâs expression softened when he heard his sincere apology. He felt that he had gone too far and said, âl made some mistakes too. Sikong Wuyuan, you donât have to blame yourself too much. Letâs go.â
After saying that, he walked forward and led Sikong Wuyuan.
When he saw that Yuan Hehe was the only one in the pavilion, he could not help but narrow his eyes.
He remembered that he had told Jiu Zhu and Yuan Hehe to stay put. How long had it been?
It seemed like Sikong Wuyuan was just stalling for time.
Zhang Xiaoni sneered.
In the end, he was still deceived by Sikong Wuyuan. He thought that he was a good person, but the result was nothing more than this.
Sikong Wuyuan pretended to be confused and asked, âWhere is Jiu Zhu? Where did he go?â
âDonât you know where Jiu Zhu went?â Zhang Xiaoni mocked him. Do you want me to go and find him?â
Yuan Hehe was eating and was a little anxious.
Jiang Ming had been gone for such a long time. Why was he not back yet?
Seeing that Sikong Wuyuan and Zhang Xiaoni had returned, he quickly started eating again.
After the two of them sat down, he still did not say anything and continued to eat.
âYuan Hehe, you should know where Jiu Zhu is, right?â Zhang Xiaoni asked, sizing him up. âWhat is he doing?â
There was a hint of anger in his words. It was obvious that he was questioning him.
âDidnât Jiu Zhu go to look for you?â Yuan Hehe asked in confusion. âDidnât you see him?â
He was calculating in his heart. Since he had already said this, Zhang Xiaoni probably would not say anything more, right?
âHe went to look for me? You must be joking. I havenât seen Jiu Zhu, and Iâve been waiting outside.â
Zhang Xiaoniâs face darkened.
After all this time, these people actually said this to him. They did not respect the Red Organization at all.
To think that his boss was so good to them. It was as if he had invited a pack of wolves into his den.
âYou donât trust me, do you?â Yuan Hehe asked when he saw his expression.
âIs this how you treat your guests?â
Zhang Xiaoni had heard similar words before. He could not help but say, âDonât say that we donât treat you as guests. Youâre the ones who donât treat us as hosts first. Tell me, where is Jiu Zhu?â
As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his pocket and pressed it against Yuan Heheâs neck.
Yuan Hehe, on the other hand, was calm. He pushed a dagger and said, âIâm afraid the boss of your Red Organization wonât let you off the hook for treating us like this. I only know that Jiu Zhu went to look for you. I really donât know anything else.â
Sikong Wuyuan also sighed.
âIt wasnât easy to gather some trust just now, but now itâs all gone. Yuan Hehe is still a child. He will definitely tell the truth.â
Zhang Xiaoni felt that he had gone too far. He kept his dagger and lowered his head. âl was too hasty just now. Iâm really sorry.â
âItâs okay. Although we havenât known each other for a long time, weâve interacted a little. I wonât hold it against you.â
Yuan Hehe continued to eat. He said helplessly, âSince neither of you saw Jiu Zhu, he must have gone to do something else. Letâs eat first. Weâll look for him after weâre done.â
Zhang Xiaoni did not agree.
âThere are many traps in other parts of the organization. There are even some unknown people. When the time comes, Jiu Zhu will be finished if he encounters danger.â
As he spoke, he stood up.
âLetâs go find Jiu Zhu now. Donât let him encounter any danger.â
âYou seem to care about Jiu Zhu. Letâs go then,â Sikong Wuyuan said with a smile.
But he was worried.
He did not remember the conditions here, but he knew a few places in general. He did not know if Jiu Zhu had entered the meeting room.
As long as they entered the meeting room, they would be able to send Zhang Xiaoni away.
Yuan Hehe also stood up. âThen I will stop eating. Letâs go quickly.â
Zhang Xiaoni could not help but be skeptical when he saw the two of them agree so readily.
Could it be that he had really misunderstood these two people? Perhaps he should not have thought of them that way? In the end, he was still somewhat wrong.
Although he thought so in his heart, he could not say anything on the surface.
He did not want to lower himself too much. If that happened, it would only make these two people push their luck.
Although he was a servant, he had dignity. He could not let them treat him too lowly.
âWhere did Jiu Zhu go?â he asked Yuan Hehe.
âItâs the place where you guys were just now.â
Yuan Hehe did not know whether to laugh or cry.
âOtherwise, how could he find you? Zhang Xiaoni, donât tell us youâve changed your mind?â
âThatâs true.â Zhang Xiaoni cleared his throat and led Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe forward.
There were two small paths on the road ahead, which diverged to the left and right respectively. He immediately stopped and was even more hesitant.
He had no idea which path Jiu Zhu had taken. There were many paths here. If they could not find him, it would be bad if they got lost.
Although he was a servant and even had another identity, he still could not tell the road conditions here.
Yuan Hehe was puzzled by Zhang Xiaoniâs actions.
âWhy arenât you moving? Are there many paths here? This courtyard doesnât look big.â
Zhang Xiaoni turned to look at him in disbelief. âWhat you have seen is only the tip of the iceberg in this courtyard. There are many other places! Donât you have any way to track down Jiu Zhu?â
He sighed.
With so many paths, he would not be able to find him even if he searched everywhere.
Sikong Wuyuan looked at Yuan Hehe and said, âWe donât usually have such a thing. We donât have anything to contact either. It seems that it will take us some time to find Jiu Zhu.â
âThere are so many paths around here,â Sikong Wuyuan said anxiously. âWhat if something happens to Jiu Zhu? I think we should split up to search.â In his heart, he had other thoughts.
If the three of them split up, then he could go to Jiang Ming alone. He did not know how the situation was with Jiang Ming, but he should be needed..
