When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he sighed.

Luo Cheng didn’t want to say anything about his background.

Those past memories were terrible memories for him. They were part of his painful past, so he really didn’t want to talk about them.

Li Xiaoran felt Luo Cheng’s pain and struggles, so she reached out and held his hand.

“If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t! I’m just asking! As long as you’re sure these people are here for you and Luo Han, it’s fine!”

Luo Cheng looked at his reflection in Li Xiaoran’s clear eyes. The distress dissipated and he nodded.

“Wife, thank you for understanding me!”

“Nonsense, I’m already your wife, so I naturally have to understand you!” Li

Xiaoran smiled and said, “Let me think carefully about how to get out of this situation!”

With that, Li Xiaoran fell into deep thought.

“Actually, this situation isn’t a dead end!” After a while, Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he looked over.

“What do you mean?”

“As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the bigger picture. Husband, you think you’ve reached a dead end, but why are you and the other party so sure that you can’t break out of this situation? It’s because you all think that you and Luo

Han can’t clear your names and get evidence of what the other party has done. Coincidentally, the breaking point is also here. Don’t forget that we can break out of this situation!” Li Xiaoran said confidently.

“The other party did this secretly. I think it’s not just this caravan we encountered. There must be other caravans secretly circulating these silver ingots. We can’t catch them or find evidence to prove their crimes. There’s no way to defend ourselves!” Luo Cheng said.

“But it’s not that we don’t have a breakthrough point! Isn’t the textile merchant we encountered previously a breakthrough point? Husband, don’t forget that I can enter dreams. At least, I can ask that textile merchant about these silver pieces in a dream! We might be able to find some clues. If another piece of counterfeit silver appears, we can capture the person and interrogate him. As long as we don’t give up and capture them one by one, we might be able to catch the mastermind! This is called casting a wide net!” Li Xiaoran voiced her thoughts.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his eyes lit up and many ideas appeared in his mind.

“You don’t have to enter a dream. You just have to interrogate some people with me and identify their emotions. With you helping us distinguish their emotions, we can definitely find many useful clues. As for entering a dream, don’t. Every time you experience empathy, you’ll be weak for a long time. I don’t want you to suffer for these things!”

Li Xiaoran nodded when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“Alright, I’ll try my best to control myself! Don’t worry. You don’t look handsome when you frown!” Li Xiaoran said and reached out to smooth Luo Cheng’s frown.

Luo Cheng felt a cold sensation enter from between his eyebrows and spread throughout his body.

The frustration he had felt earlier dissipated.

With a solution to his worries, Luo Cheng immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to quickly send it to Luo Han.

After putting the letter away, Luo Han looked at the man standing beside him.

“As expected, Luo Cheng thought of a solution!”

With that, Luo Han looked at the man beside him.

“Are you really sure Luo Cheng is the person you’re looking for?”

The man nodded but said nothing.

This person was none other than the man in black who had secretly followed Luo Han that day.

The man in black was called Wu Qinghe. He was actually a fellow disciple of Luo Han’s mentor.

Luo Han had learned martial arts from a secret expert in the martial world. After learning it, he was chased away by his mentor and told not to return to his mentor’s sect anymore.

Unexpectedly, a fellow disciple appeared a few years later and secretly followed Luo Han.

Unfortunately, although Wu Qinghe had learned many skills, he didn’t know martial arts. That was why he was discovered when he followed Luo Han.

“That’s right. My mentor said that I had to go down the mountain to find you! After finding you, I would naturally find the person I want to follow! My mentor said that with my fate, only by following others can I survive!” Wu Qinghe said seriously.

“Why are you so blockheaded? I think it must be because you’re too boring, so your mentor found a random excuse to send you down the mountain, just like how my mentor despised me for being noisy back then. After I learned martial arts, he told me to go down the mountain to go home and never look for him again!” Luo Han said.

“No, my mentor cares about me very much. Back then, he made you leave the mountain because you had almost finished raising his chickens. If he didn’t let you leave the mountain, he wouldn’t have had any roasted chickens to eat!” Wu Qinghe said seriously.

“Did my mentor tell you this? Why was he so stingy?! Wasn’t it just a few chickens? If he can’t bear to part with them, I can go down the mountain and buy a bunch of chickens for my mentor!” Luo Han said angrily.

“Uh, you clearly know that my mentor’s chickens are very extraordinary. How can the chickens you bought at the foot of the mountain compare to my mentor’s chickens?” Wu Qinghe exposed the truth.

“Cough cough!” Luo Han blushed and said embarrassedly, “You have to be more kind. You can’t touch a sore spot! No wonder my mentor wanted to chase you down the mountain!”

Wu Qinghe was speechless.

It was as if Luo Han hadn’t been chased down the mountain by his mentor!

Forget it, he was in someone else’s territory now. He should endure it!

Thinking of this, Wu Qinghe said, “Then when are you going to bring me to meet Luo Cheng?”

Luo Han glanced at Wu Qinghe and sneered.

“I have to investigate you carefully. Who knows if you approached my buddy out of good intentions or bad intentions?! After all, Luo Cheng and I grew up together. His safety is important, so you should stay by my side for a while!

When I’m sure you’re trustworthy, I’ll introduce you to Luo Cheng!”

When Wu Qinghe heard Luo Han’s words, he thought of something and said. “Just send me to him before March. Otherwise, I’ll really be in trouble!”

Luo Han glanced at Wu Qinghe and nodded. Then, he said lazily, “Got it! Don’t worry!”

Wu Qinghe rolled his eyes at Luo Han. He knew that Luo Han was being perfunctory, but there was nothing he could do about it.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of looking for Luo Cheng directly, but he had been quite unlucky recently.

If he traveled alone, something unexpected might happen halfway and he might get abducted to somewhere far away.

Wasn’t it like this before the new year? He was about to reach Sichuan, but he got implicated by someone and was abducted to Jiangnan..
