Fang Yi exclaimed, âI know! Chen Hao, did you two come here early for tomorrowâs two-day tour around Hong County, the one thatâs organized by Fatty Wang?â
âHuh? Oh yeah, but Fatty Wang hasnât arrived yet. I came here first to book a hotel. Itâs such a coincidence to run into you two here. Did you two come here earlier to look around as well?â Chen Hao glanced at Fang Jiannanâs bodyguards. âFatty Wang told me you guys love to travel.â
Initially, Chen Hao assumed that they found out he was also looking for the servant, so he got very nervous. But after their exchange, he exhaled with relief.
Chen Hao gratefully went along with the excuse that they conveniently provided.
âTsk, what are you talking about? We have much more important things on our hands. We came here to-â
Fang Yi rolled her eyes at Chen Hao as she tried to explain.
But Fang Jiannan quickly warned her with a look, as though it meant, Fang Yi, whatâs wrong with you?
Why are you giving so much away?â
âOh!â
Only then did Fang Yi realize her mistake.
Frankly speaking, Fang Jiannan couldnât blame it all on Fang Yi.
Though Fang Yi and Fang Jiannan kept their distance from the classmates, the two girls knew everything about them.
Judging by their looks, one would not have guessed that their topics of discussion were actually quite similar to other girls, such as stories in class, who was handsome or who wasnât handsome but had a good personality and more.
At the end of the day, they still loved to gossip about everyone.
After all, they were girls, even though they did have some unusual experiences.
By now, they had already discussed Chen Hao at some length and even took pains to know more about him.
Hence, they were quite familiar with Chen Hao now.
Also, the impression that Chen Hao left on the two girls was incomparable to other boys.
Startled by the sight of him, Fang Yi couldnât help but chat with him.
However, she quickly kept quiet after Fang Jiannan glared at her.
After Fang Jiannan threw a glance at Chen Hao, she led the group of people upstairs.
Chen Hao was shocked and suspicious.
How strange. If Fang Jiannan already found the servant, she would have left long ago. Why would she still be here in Hong County?
If Fang Jiannan didnât take her, then who could it be?
Alas, Chen Hao had to wait for a detailed report from his men to assess the situation better.
âJiannan, Iâm so sorry. I was too excited back there. The words just came out of my mouth and before I knew it, I told Chen Hao so much!â
After they went into their room, Fang Yi tugged at Fang Jiannanâs hand and apologized.
Fang Jiannan replied with a bitter smile, âItâs alright, but be careful next time. We may have more freedom now than before but we canât be too conspicuous.â
âAlright, Iâll be careful next time!â Fang Yi stuck her tongue out playfully.
âThis task was such a close call. I just donât understand how she can be so stubborn. Why is that case so important to her? Where do we even start looking? Jiannan, what will you do next?â Fang Yi asked worriedly.
Fang Jiannan gave her another warning look before saying, âFang Yi, I really regret bringing you out.
Why do you have to say everything out loud? The walls have ears, you know!â
Fang Yi stuck her tongue out again and quickly covered her mouth.
âFrom now on, Iâm going back to being cool and reserved. Iâm not going to say anything anymore!â
Fang Yi promised.
âYou donât have to do that. To be honest, itâs not difficult for me to search for something. The thing Iâm worried about now is a force that has the same goal as us. Moreover, they are as skilled as our men. It may seem like we have the upper hand now but actually, we are the ones in the open while our opponent is in hiding. They might launch a surprise attack at us and expose our family. Most importantly, we donât even know who our opponent is! Sigh, Iâve been worrying about this the whole time,â said Fang Jiannan as she rubbed her temples.
âHahaha, thatâs not a problem. I know what to do!â Fang Yi said merrily.
âYou?â Fang Jiannan sniggered.
âHmph! Jiannan, donât judge a book by its cover. Iâm actually pretty smart. Isnât this just like the game âWerewolfâ?â Fang Yi said.
Fang Jiannan shook her head. âI donât understand.â
Fang Yi explained patiently, âItâs very simple. Youâre afraid that you will be exposed, right? So why donât you find yourself a cloak of invisibility and confuse the enemy? That way, you and the Fang family will remain anonymous and you can do whatever you want!â
âThatâs interesting. Are you saying that rather than fighting with the enemy, we should find a decoy to do the job for us? And this might even lure the enemy out?â Fang Jiannan caught on quickly.
Fang Yi snapped her fingers. âBingo, exactly!â
âSigh, but who should we find? Who can we divert the attention to?â Fang Jiannan racked her brain.
Fang Yi pursed her lips and was lost in thought as well.
Right then, Fang Yi slapped her forehead. âHahaha, I know who to look for!â
Fang Jiannan guessed resignedly, âChen Hao?â
âYes, Chen Hao is the best choice. Jiannan, we discussed about him before. Though heâs good looking, heâs a bit silly. Heâs quite rich but he keeps a low profile. Also, heâs friends with the rich and famous in Chengdu! Isnât he the perfect candidate? That way, the enemy wouldnât see it coming when Chen Hao appears in our place instead!â
Fang Jiannan nodded her head slowly. âYouâre right. Chen Hao would be the best candidate. However, this might be dangerous. Are you sure we should put his life at risk? Will Chen Hao even agree to it?â
âHehe, donât worry about it. I have my ways!â
Fang Yi immediately thought of a plan.
In the late hours of the evening, Fang Yi went up to the front door of Chen Haoâs room quietly.
It was a piece of cake for Fang Yi to find out which room belonged to Chen Hao.
She then knocked on his door.
Chen Hao opened his door and poked his head out. âWhy are you here?â
He was quite taken aback.
He did not expect that this reserved and popular girl would look for him.
âAre you surprised? I came to you because I need a favor.â Fang Yi smiled.
âYou want a favor from me?â
Chen Hao knew exactly the identities of these two sisters, thus he was very shocked.
If they were really from the Fang family, Fang Yi wouldnât have to come to him for help.
âYes, itâs rather inconvenient to talk here. Why donât you come up to my room?â Fang Yi suggested.
âTo your room? Itâs very late now, I donât think thatâs appropriate,â Chen Hao said with surprise.
