Qing Ning and Hu Haotian were strolling around the lively and brightly lit lantern festival, while Fu Jingheng was observing the surroundings in the dark. Seeing that everyone around them had fallen into a sweet dream, Fu Jingheng got up carefully, as softly as a cat, for fear of waking others. After he sat up straight, he began to look around, watching every corner vigilantly.

At this moment, the experienced and older Fu Jingheng brought him the latest news that Qing Ning had received.

Fu Jingheng lowered his voice and said, "There are a lot of people here, it's not easy to find the scholar surnamed Xu among so many people! However, I also got some information from the young man next to me. I heard that this scholar Xu is a restless guy and caused a lot of trouble!"

"With these extremely cruel means, they didn't even intend to kill Xu Shusheng. This can only mean the following two possibilities: first, Xu Shusheng is still useful; second, Xu Shusheng has some vital items in his hands, but they have not been discovered yet, so he can't be killed easily."

After all, the older Fu Jingheng has richer experience and thinks more deeply.

"I will go and investigate at dawn tomorrow. I believe I will be able to find out some information about Mr. Xu."

"Okay, but you have to be careful. Miss Qing Ning has already sneaked into the Hu Mansion, and Hu Haotian has fallen in love with her. She will take the opportunity to find out a lot of information." The man's tone was a little serious, but his eyes revealed a hint of confidence and expectation.

"I know, but this place is just as she said, hiding some secrets. There is one person missing here today. After coming here, I made sure to remember everyone, but among the people lying here tonight, the man with the mole on his face is not there. Don't you think this is strange?" Another man frowned and said thoughtfully.

After he finished speaking, he revealed a mocking smile: "He said, how could such a lucrative job fall on me? It turns out that my father was afraid that his beloved son would get into trouble, so he asked me to take the lead. Humph, how ridiculous! Am I not his son?"

"No matter what, we have to be careful. Although Miss Qing Ning is smart and clever, she is a woman after all. It is inevitable that she will be in danger when she is in enemy territory. We must pay close attention to her situation and ensure her safety."

In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, he carefully lay down on the straw mat again, and then used all his strength to force himself to fall asleep as soon as possible.

At this moment, the older Fu Jingheng standing beside him looked at him with a look of heartache. Fu Jingheng's heart was filled with endless resentment and hatred towards that man. If he could escape from this strange illusion and return to the real world, he would not hesitate to give up all the power and status he had now and stay away from that disgusting man completely.

Since the other party already hates and despises me so much, I might as well stay away from him. After all, out of sight, out of mind.

However, what was unexpected was that the person sleeping on the pile of straw in the most secluded corner at this moment was actually the Xu Shusheng they had just been talking about for a long time.

In the dream, he was wearing a gorgeous top scholar robe and riding a strong and mighty white horse. He was freely traveling through the bustling streets and alleys of the capital, enjoying the enthusiastic pursuit and praises from the people around him!

When he woke up from his sweet dream, his eyes revealed an almost crazy look. When he thought of the important object he had hidden, he made up his mind: since everyone was eyeing it and was determined to get it, he had to make them pay a high price.

Only in this way can they show their sincerity. If no one can meet the conditions he put forward, then he would rather destroy it than let anyone get it!

Looking at his dirty body, the scars all over his hands, body and legs, and his eyes full of madness, he would not let those people have an easy time.
