Chapter 340

"Is it you?"

Shuidonglou looked at them with a disappointed expression, but he was actually laughing at himself. How could the person he was looking forward to appear in this place?

Seeing his disappointed look, Xing Shan couldn't help laughing, "Why, you still don't give up even though you're in jail?"

Shuidonglou smiled wryly, with a helpless smile, "It is precisely because I am in prison that I have nothing else to divert my attention from, so I can only think about her. If you let me out now and let me continue to be a free and easy thief, maybe I will You can completely forget her."

Hearing his unreasonable reasoning, Xing Shan became even more amused, "Then don't forget her, obediently miss her in prison for the rest of your life."

When these words came out, Shuidonglou laughed, "It's also a good choice."

Seeing him sitting motionless in his original position, Xing Shan took the initiative to ask: "How is it? Are you still used to it after entering here? If there is anything that needs to be improved, maybe I can help you."

Shuidonglou shook his head, "No matter how good the conditions are, it's nothing more than going to jail. You care so much about me, and you're not afraid to let His Majesty know. Will you be the one to blame?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

Xing Shan said bluntly: "Although Shuntian Mansion is ordered by the emperor, it will not report every detail to His Majesty. What's more, after so many days have passed, I think His Majesty's anger will be almost gone. By then, my father If I intercede for you again, I think you won’t be sentenced too harshly.”

"Does it make a difference to me if it's heavy or not?"

Shuidonglou said with a wry smile: "Anyway, in my life, I don't expect to live freely anymore."

"At least you're still alive."

Xing Shan comforted: "Just for this, you are already luckier than many people."

"Ah!"

Shuidonglou laughed at himself, "You are very good at comforting me."

Xing Shan put his hands on his back and asked him again: "Is there really nothing you need my help with?"

Shui Donglou thought for a while, and took the initiative to hook his fingers to him, motioning him to move closer to him.

After Xing Shan did it, he whispered in his ear: "If she comes to me, I hope you stop her."

Hearing this, Xing Shan raised his eyebrows, "Then what if she doesn't come?"

Shuidonglou smiled wryly, "Then just pretend I'm being sentimental."

Xing Shan laughed a few times, and then agreed, "Okay, since this is your wish, I will convey it to her. However, you also know her identity. If she insists on coming, I think I It’s also hard to stop.”

"I see."

Shui Donglou nodded, and said frankly, "I just want you to do your best."

Xing Shan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and couldn't help sighing, "Since ancient times, affection can't be kept, but you are even more infatuated than I imagined."

He obviously wanted to see the noble concubine, but he asked Xing Shan to stop him, which showed that he didn't want to hurt his beloved woman at all.

For this alone, he can be regarded as responsible.

It's a pity that he chose the wrong path from the very beginning. If he had chosen to serve the court instead of being a thief, perhaps this story would have a different ending.

Xing Shan led the wolf girl out of the prison, looking at the blue sky above his head, feeling the joy of freedom for the first time.

The two returned to Xing's house and rested for a full day and two nights before returning to Shuntian Mansion. Now that the suspicion of Li Xiuneng had been cleared, it was time for them to start investigating the second arrester. This time Xing Shan planned to investigate Cao Shen , just in time to use the Shuidong Building to get close to him.

When the two came to Shuntian Mansion, before they could find Cao Shen, they bumped into Zhan Dabao and Bu Yifan. They were performing tasks separately recently, and they hadn't been together for a long time. Seeing their energetic appearance, The task has always been completed is not too bad.

"Well, did you find anything?"

Xing Shan took everyone back to the dormitory and began to inquire about their progress.

The two nodded slightly, and each reported their results.

"I investigated a headhunter named Lu Bingjian, and I can confirm that he should have no problems."

Zhan Dabao said.

Bu Yifan also followed closely, reporting his achievements, "I approached a headhunter named Liu Shou in the name of helping him cure his old illness, and he should be fine."

"Well, well done."

Xing Shan praised: "In just a few days, everyone has made progress. It seems that we can find out the inner ghost just around the corner."

Hearing his praise, the two of them laughed, and Zhan Dabao couldn't help asking Xing Shan, "By the way, why didn't Ah Xi show up for such an important matter?"

"Yes."

Bu Yifan echoed: "I feel like I haven't seen her for a long time."

Hearing their doubts, Xing Shan smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "I don't know either."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Buxi walked in from the outside, "Someone seems to be thinking about me?"

Everyone's expressions became excited when they heard her voice.

"I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."

Zhan Dabao said with emotion: "We just talked about you, and you have already come."

Hu Buxi raised her eyebrows, strode into the rest house, "What are you talking about about me?"

Bu Yifan stood up, helped her open the chair, and then said frankly: "We are discussing the progress of the task. Dabao and I have already checked a headhunter. I wonder how your progress is?"

Hearing his words, Hu Buxi couldn't help laughing, "Oh, I was worried that I didn't complete the task."

"how could be?"

Bu Yifan quickly explained, "You have always been smarter than the two of us."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense."

Zhan Dabao was dissatisfied and said, "It's enough to be smarter than you, how can you be smarter than me?"

Seeing that they were all arguing, Xing Shan and Hu Buxi laughed immediately, and they looked at each other with embarrassing expressions.

After Zhan Dabao finished ranting against Bu Yifan, the conversation turned to the task, "By the way, how is your task going?"

Hearing his question, Hu Buxi quickly replied: "I investigated a head arrester named Mu Chengze, and he has no suspicions for the time being."

Xing Shan nodded slightly, and praised lightly: "Well done."

Hu Buxi glanced at him, but said nothing.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, both Zhan Dabao and Bu Yifan looked curious, "What's wrong with you two, don't you usually have endless things to talk about? Why don't you talk now?"

Hearing this, Xing Shan glared at them, and said angrily, "Aren't you always inseparable? Now, why are you pretending to meet by chance?"

"What are you pretending to meet by chance? We met by chance in the first place!"

Zhan Dabao became dissatisfied.

Seeing that Xing Shan changed the subject so easily, Hu Buxi and Bu Yifan immediately smiled.

Seeing their expressions, Zhan Dabao reacted quickly, "Oh, you are too disrespectful, watching him play tricks on me?"
