Chapter 327. Infiltration Plan (I)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
After exchanging their messages, Long and s.h.i.+ changed their outfits and secretly left the rented house.
“Qingzhou, look at the sugar-coated haws over there! May I have one?” Long said with great interest, like a child.
s.h.i.+ turned to look at him. “You want to eat it?”
“Yes, I do miss the taste.”
“Oh? “s.h.i.+ frowned. “Well, if you want to eat it, then go ahead.”
Long was so happy, “All right, let’s go.”
Then Long took s.h.i.+’s hand toward where the sugar-coated haws was sold.
Long bought two sticks of sugar-coated haws, and handed one to s.h.i.+.
Two big men actually enjoyed themselves eating the haws and didn’t care about other people’s surprised look.
They were not themselves now, anyway. Long really didn’t feel any pressure at all.
They soon had two sticks of sugar-coated haws in their bellies.
Long licked his mouth. “Qingzhou, we’ve been out a long time. It’s almost time to go back.”
“Is it? ” s.h.i.+ wasn’t impressed. “Not half an hour. ”
Long said softly, “There’s nothing we need to do. After all, we’re new here, and we’d better be careful when we go shopping.”
s.h.i.+ nodded. “You’re right. Just be careful.”
They went out, harvested two sticks of sugar-coated haws, and then went back.
However, although Long and s.h.i.+ hadn’t been around for a long time, they were still being targeted by one person.
The man followed Long and s.h.i.+ to the house where they lived.
Then, the man narrowed his eyes and turned to withdraw, but as he turned, a deadly crisis struck from behind him. He had only time to stare before he fell.
s.h.i.+ jumped over to the man with Long.
Ying Feng grabbed the man by the neck.
It was Ying Feng who did it. Actually, s.h.i.+ and Long had long discovered that man but they didn’t act. They just led the man here without any trace and let others do it.
“Master,” said Ying Feng.
Long nodded. “Let’s go back first. Interrogate him. As it happens, we don’t know much about the intelligence here, so we can see how much this man knows.”
“Got it.” Ying Feng answered at once.
Long and s.h.i.+ went back into the house, while the man was taken away by Ying Feng.
Back home, Long curled his lip, sat down at the table, and poured a gla.s.s of water.
“We’ve been out for a while and somebody’s been after us. Gee.”
s.h.i.+ pressed the lower corners of his mouth. “Well, be more careful in the future.”
“Qingzhou, do you think we should move to another place?”
“No, it would be more suspicious if we leave.”
“All right.” Long nodded and poured s.h.i.+ a gla.s.s of water.
s.h.i.+ picked up the cup and took a sip. A moment later, he put it down. “Did you really give w.a.n.g Qi and the others poison?”
“Eh? ” Long blinked, and said innocently, “Qingzhou, don’t you believe me?”
s.h.i.+ gave him a half-smile. “I do not believe you.”
“Why? ” Long was puzzled. “Why don’t you believe me?”
s.h.i.+ gave Long a faint look. “No reason. It’s just based on my knowledge about you.”
“All right.” Long shrugged. “You are the one who knows me best in the world. It is true that I did not give them poison.”
s.h.i.+ looked at Long. “What did you give them?”
Long twitched his lips, “Pills to prevent the cold.”
s.h.i.+ said dryly, “They don’t know that, right?”
Long curled his lip. “How could I tell them? I didn’t say it.”
s.h.i.+ chuckled. “You didn’t say it.”
“Yes. What’s the matter? Qingzhou, why do you suddenly ask that?”
s.h.i.+ said dryly, “You may come in.”
Long looked puzzlingly in the direction of the door and paused.
Because w.a.n.g Qi and w.a.n.g Shu were actually standing there.
Surprised, Long looked at s.h.i.+.
s.h.i.+ looked faintly at w.a.n.g Qi and w.a.n.g Shu. “Did you hear that?”
w.a.n.g Qi was shocked, with tears s.h.i.+ning in his eyes. “Yes, we heard it. Thank you.”
w.a.n.g Qi knelt down.
Long waved his hand. “w.a.n.g Qi, we are partners now, so don’t mention it.”
w.a.n.g Qi nodded. “Yes, I see.”
Long smiled. “You have come in time. I have two things for you to attend to.”
“At your command,” w.a.n.g Qi said immediately.
Two quarters of an hour later, w.a.n.g Qi and w.a.n.g Shu left.
s.h.i.+ looked at Long. “Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble? ”
Long sighed. “We haven’t got much time, and besides, we’ve got a little chance, haven’t we?”
s.h.i.+ nodded. “I think we’d better meet Fang Shuoyang again.”
“So I thought, but these days are not suitable. There is good news from him.”
“Good news?” s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows. “Do you mean…”
“Yeah.” Long laughed. “Didn’t Lord Zhou want to take him back? Originally, Fang Shuoyang had been refusing him, but since Lord Zhou asked again, Fang Shuoyang could only accept it as it should be. It would be better if he were put in another official post. In that case he would be more justified, wouldn’t he?”
s.h.i.+ thought for a moment and said, “All right. As far as the plan goes, we have to go further.”
“Well, Qingzhou, when I came here, I gave myself two months, not more than three, but now, with you by my side, I can wait.”
s.h.i.+’s mouth slightly curved. “Oh? Do you really think so?”
“Sure.” Long stared at him.
s.h.i.+ was silent for a moment and said seriously, “When we’re almost done on our side, let’s go to find Fang Shuoyang.”
“You think so?” Long looked at s.h.i.+ in surprise.
s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows. “You think the same way?”
Long touched his nose. “Yes, I thought so, but I was afraid you would find it dangerous.”
s.h.i.+ squinted his eyes. “You’re afraid I’ll object, are you? ”
Long nodded his head. “Yes, I was afraid you would object.”
s.h.i.+ smiled faintly. “Isn’t that what worries me the most about you coming here? But you did it anyway.”
Long didn’t know what to say for a moment.
s.h.i.+ continued, “Do you still think that if you die, I will stay with our son for the sake of Tianlong Dynasty and for the sake of my father?”
