âI⦠If I tell you, will you really save me?â The little beggar asked softly.
âIt depends on what youâre talking about.â Gu Chengrui replied.
The little beggar hesitated for a moment. Then, she leaned over and whispered, âM-my sister found out that our master is wearing a mask. He is a fake.â
âOh, is there more?â Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment after hearing that. He did not know if she was telling the truth, so he still did not intend to relent. âIs this not enough to punish him?â
âThis matter is too big. Only the Emperor and the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs can handle it.
âTell me if there are any other discoveries. If there are, we can suppress him from other directions.â
âI, my sister also heard them mention something about Lion Camel Ridge, Jigong Mountain, and so on. I didnât hear anything else clearly.
âOh right, it seems that his superior came. They will arrive in the next two days.â
âAnything else?â
âDoes my young master being imprisoned count?â
âImprisonment? Do you know why?â
âIâm not sure. I only heard that more than ten years ago, Young Master had a big fight with Old Master, and Young Masterâs leg was broken by Old Master.
âFrom then on, Young Master was imprisoned in a side courtyard. There were people guarding him, but he never came out again.â
After Gu Chengrui heard that, he could not tell if she was sent to test him or if she really came to ask for help.
You could say that she didnât know anything, but everything she said was right on the dot.
But if you said she knew everything, you needed to send someone to verify it. If it were a trap, it would be troublesome.
âIs there anything on Lion Camel Ridge and Jigong Mountain?â he asked. âIs your master colluding with bandits?â
âI, Iâm not really sure.â
Gu Chengrui saw that he could not get anything more out of her. He told Lin
Yifan, âFind a place to settle her down. Remember to be careful.â
âYes.â Lin Yifan nodded and brought her out quietly.
After a while, he returned and said, âMy Lord, the arrangements have been made. I also found someone to help keep an eye on her.â
âWhere did you arranged her?â
âSheâs now the servant girl who keeps the fire lit in the casino. Moreover, itâs the Fang familyâs casino. She should be safe. Let her stay there for two days.â âYou sure know how to find a place. Keep an eye on her. First, see if sheâs real or fake. Then, you can make a plan.â
âYes.â
âThe exam will start tomorrow. Go to Hongyun Restaurant and borrow some manpower. Keep an eye on them. Donât make any mistakes.â
âYes.â
After Gu Chengrui rested at night, Zhou Ying contacted him through the interspace. âHowâs it going on your end? Is everything going well? Can you enter the interspace?â
âIâm afraid I have something on tonight. I canât go.â After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he did not wait for her to ask. Instead, he told her everything that had happened in the past few days.
âSo, just in case, I wonât go in.â
âAlright, then go to bed early. Iâm going to watch a show.â
âRemember to tell me if you see anything.â
âDonât worry.â After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she first found the servant girl in the casino.
Seeing that she was obediently boiling water, she sized up the entire casino.
Not only was it quite lively at night, but there were also many gamblers. However, she only brushed these aside and finally found the manager of the casino.
It was a man in his forties with a scar on his face. He looked fierce and scary.
At this moment, he was preparing chips to loan money with a group of thugs.
Zhou Ying glanced at it. The person who owed it was Qin Jiu, the scarface himself. There was no information about anyone else.
After that, she waited for a while longer.. Soon, someone approached them and asked, âHow is it? Qin Jiu, have you heard anything about that servant girl?â
