109 Eavesdropping

At this moment, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng looked at each other and didn’t know what to say.

Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran and sighed. His wife’s luck seemed to be as good as ever!

She wanted to know who Mrs. Qin had interacted with, and Mrs. Qin went straight to the private room next door.

Wasn’t this making it convenient for them to gather information?

What made Luo Cheng even more dumbfounded was that a gust of wind came from outside and actually caused the door of Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s private room to open slightly.

From this gap, they could see who was pa.s.sing by outside, but the people outside might not be able to see who was inside the private room.

When Luo Cheng noticed this, he thought that the heavens were helping them.

Li Xiaoran also saw the slightly open door and her mouth fell agape.

The scene in front of her was too unexpected.

After that, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng fell silent. The two of them drank tea and ate snacks quietly.

After what seemed like an eternity, she heard more footsteps.

Soon, a man with a mole on his face walked straight over and entered the private room next door.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and p.r.i.c.ked up her ears.

She didn’t know if it was because the teahouse’s soundproofing was good, but Li Xiaoran couldn’t hear what was being said.

There was no choice. Li Xiaoran could only use her ability to sense the emotional changes over there.

Luo Cheng sat there without moving and drank his tea leisurely, as if he was not worried at all.

Li Xiaoran sensed for a long time but couldn’t feel anything.

She had no choice. If others’ emotions didn’t fluctuate much, she couldn’t sense anything.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran wished that she had clairvoyance and clairaudience.

Just as Li Xiaoran was feeling very dejected, footsteps came from next door.

The man who came later left in a hurry, while Mrs. Qin remained in the private room.

“We should have walked to the wall and listened with a tea bowl!” Li Xiaoran lowered her voice in frustration.

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Li Xiaoran’s dejected look.

He leaned slightly towards Li Xiaoran and said in her ear, “Don’t worry, I heard what they said!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she widened her eyes and looked at Luo Cheng in disbelief.

“Don’t forget, your husband is a martial artist!”

With that, Luo Cheng calmly took another sip of water.

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately beamed.

“Then what did they say?”

Luo Cheng put his finger between his lips and made a shushing gesture.

At this moment, footsteps came from next door. Madam Qin also walked out of the private room.

Not long after, Mrs. Qin walked out of the teahouse and left in a carriage.

“Phew, she’s gone! I’m dying of suffocation! Husband, what did you hear?” Li Xiaoran quickly asked.

“You’re right. Madam Qin probably knows about those people’s faction! And the man with the mole on his face who came later should be from the same faction as Ma Zhao. Or perhaps, this person is the one who contacted Ma Zhao or Aunt Cui!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Don’t worry, my men have already followed that man. There will be news soon!”

“What did Madam Qin say to the other party?” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked.

“Madam Qin said that his people made a mistake and asked her to bring the news back. Now, she has already sent people to chase after them!” Luo Cheng recalled and said.

“The other party replied that this matter doesn’t have much of an impact and asked Madam Qin to believe in their strength. Didn’t Madam Qin find them because she knew their abilities very well? By the way, that person also said at the end that if they fell into the hands of their goshawks, there wouldn’t be any mistakes!” Luo Cheng recalled carefully and repeated what that person had said word by word.

“Goshawk? That should be the name of a faction or organization! Husband, have you heard of such a faction?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.

“Not only me, but many people in the martial world have never heard of this faction. Like you, I only heard of it today!” Luo Cheng shook his head and replied with a frown.

Luo Cheng was telling the truth. He had been in the martial world for so many years and had made many friends, but he had never heard of this faction called Goshawk.

“Could it have popped up recently? But where did Madam Qin get Goshawk’s contact information?” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked in confusion.

“Or this organization made a deal with those women in the backyard, or the people trusted by Madam Qin are in this organization!” Luo Cheng suggested two possibilities.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and suddenly stood up.

“No matter how Mrs. Qin met him, we’ve found him! In that case, I won the compet.i.tion between me and Luo Han?”

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and smiled.

“That seems to be the case!”

“Then let’s tell Luo Han now! Let him follow this lead.” Li Xiaoran thought of something and walked over to pull Li Xiaoran away from the teahouse.

“Hey, aren’t you going to compete with him? Why don’t we continue investigating?! Only by investigating can we convince Luo Han.” Luo Cheng reminded her.

“It’s not important! I only competed with Luo Han to let him know that I’m not a useless person. I have my strengths and abilities. Now that I’ve found the clues, the outcome of the compet.i.tion is no longer important. What’s important is to quickly find this faction and prevent more people from being harmed!” Li Xiaoran said.

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and suddenly felt as if the lively person in front of him was enveloped by a light.

At this moment, Luo Cheng finally understood where Li Xiaoqing’s blind trust in her sister came from.

This was because people could always see a hint of hope in Li Xiaoran. She was like a beam of light in the darkness, leading the struggling people towards the light.

“Okay! I’ll bring you to see Luo Han now!” Luo Cheng stood up and followed Li Xiaoran downstairs.

Luo Han was puzzled when he heard the bailiff’s report.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng came looking for him at this time?

Could it be that Li Xiaoran had given up and came to negotiate with him?

Luo Han smiled at the possibility.

Hmph, he knew it. Li Xiaoran was just a countryside woman. Previously, she only dared to compete with him because she was embarra.s.sed. Now that she had calmed down, she came over to negotiate.

Forget it! For Luo Cheng’s sake, he wouldn’t be so petty with a woman!
