After Zhou Yang left the government office, he felt uneasy all the way. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, I met Hu Rui, Tang Yun, and Pang Yuyao. Even Xie Xiaoyu, who usually loves to play, was waiting obediently in the room.

It was probably because Hu Rui told them that she was going back that these people stayed here obediently.

Seeing Zhou Yang coming back, Xie Xiaoyu stood up quickly: "Boss, you're back, I'll go get you some water to wash your face."

Xie Xiaoyu ran to the door and shouted outside: "Someone come! Fetch some water, the master needs to wash up!"

Zhou Yang looked at Xie Xiaoyu's actions speechlessly, "I thought you were going to fetch water for me to wash my face yourself!"

"Hey, boss, sit down! They'll get the water soon."

Zhou Yang sat down and looked at the three people sitting in front of him, then looked at Hu Rui: "Have you told them?"

Seeing Hu Rui nodded, Zhou Yang looked at Tang Yun, "What do you say? Stay here? Or?"

"I'm going back!"

In fact, Tang Yun didn't want to stay here any longer. She seldom went out during this period and was refining chakra at home. She also found that Hu Rui was also quite anxious during this period. Only Xie Xiaoyu looked heartless.

"Boss, I'm going back too!"

Xie Xiaoyu's voice came from behind, which surprised Zhou Yang. "What? Are you tired of playing here?"

"No, Boss! I have brought a lot of things to the sisters in the base during this period. I want to go back and give them to them!"

Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, Zhou Yang could still understand it. Otherwise, he would have thought that Xie Xiaoyu had changed her personality.

"Sister Xiaorui, can't you just not leave?"

Hu Rui looked at Pang Yuyao, whose eyes were already red, and gently pulled up her little hand: "Silly girl, we also have a large base over there that needs to be managed. We have been out for so long, and we still don't know what the situation is in the base."

Pang Yuyao's eyes turned redder after hearing this. "You all left. I'm so lonely here alone!"

Xie Xiaoyu came to Pang Yuyao and gently took her arm: "Hey, it's not like we won't come again. Maybe we'll be back in a couple of days! Sister Yuyao, when we're not here, you must do a good job in building Lin'an. I hope there will be more fun things to do next time I come."

Pang Yuyao nodded gently: "Yeah!"

Seeing how they are now, Zhou Yang feels that they need to think of a way to connect these worlds so that they can meet each other anytime they want in the future.

"It's not like we won't see each other anymore. Don't be so sad! When I brought Hu Rui here, I was worried for a long time. I was afraid that you two wouldn't get along!"

Zhou Yang's words made the two girls look at each other and couldn't help laughing. The atmosphere was finally not so sad.

At this time, Uncle Wu's voice rang out at the door: "Master, Liu Quan brought Ye Mei to see you!"

Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows, winked at Hu Rui and the others and said, "The melon is here, I'll take you to eat some!"

"Let them in!"

Uncle Wu responded and went downstairs. After a few minutes, he heard footsteps outside the door. Not long after, Liu Quan brought a woman into the hall.

As soon as Liu Quan entered the room, he saw Zhou Yang, Hu Rui and the others, "Boss!"

"I am Ye Mei, a commoner. I greet the Lord City Lord and the ladies!"

Hu Rui and the others only heard Zhou Yang say there was something to eat, but then Liu Quan brought a woman in, and the girls immediately understood what was going on.

Zhou Yang carefully looked at the woman named Ye Mei. She was not tall and looked to be in her twenties. She wore a lavender dress, had an oval face, and slender eyebrows. She looked a little frail, a typical traditional Chinese beauty. Zhou Yang was thinking about how she could withstand Lao Liu's abuse.

"Well, you're welcome! Lao Liu, take her to sit down!"

Zhou Yang saw that the woman seemed a little restrained, so he asked Liu Quan to take her with him. It would not be good to let her stand there all the time.

Liu Quan seemed to be very nervous about the current situation and did not take Ye Mei to sit down. It was only until Xie Xiaoyu brought two chairs over that the two of them sat down.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhou Yang shouted towards the door: "Uncle Wu, take Liu Quan around the City Lord's Mansion!"

Liu Pian paused, and looked at Zhou Yang in confusion. Zhou Yang just smiled at him and said, "I'll just ask her a few questions, don't worry!"

Liu Quan was obviously a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhou Yang. After hesitating for a long time, he stood up and walked out the door. Ye Mei was already very nervous, and now she was even more nervous.

After Liu Quan left, Zhou Yang looked at Ye Mei, whose body was trembling slightly, and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Hearing Zhou Yang's question, Ye Mei hurriedly stood up from her chair: "Your Excellency, I..."

"Sit, sit! You don't have to be so nervous. I'm just curious about something, so I asked Liu Quan to take you."

"Yes!"

"Relax, just think of it as a casual chat!"

"Thank you, sir. I didn't know that Mr. Liu was actually working for the City Lord! I just heard Mr. Liu say that he would bring me to meet someone, but I didn't expect to come to the City Lord's Mansion. Although I have seen the City Lord before, it was always from a far distance. Now that I see the City Lord so close, I am a little out of control. Please forgive me!"

"Haha! Good, such a calm flattery! You are so popular in Wangchun Pavilion, you must be quite capable. Tell me your purpose of approaching Liu Quan."

When Ye Mei heard Zhou Yang's words, her face turned pale and she knelt down with a plop. "My Lord, you are wronged! I really didn't know that Mr. Liu was working for the city lord. I just saw Mr. Liu was generous that day. I am just a lowly woman who likes to please others with my beauty, so I naturally followed whoever was generous. I didn't have any ulterior motive. I hope you can investigate it clearly!"

Zhou Yang laughed and said, "Ye Caifeng, a native of Huguang, fled to Jinling when she was nine years old. She was sold to Qingyufang by her family and bought. She came to Lin'an half a year ago and entered Wangchun Pavilion. Miss Ye, am I right? Tell me, who sent you here? The Su family?"

Ye Mei was completely stiff at this moment, her face was pale, and she felt her throat was extremely dry, and she kept trying to swallow her saliva. "Sir, I, I really don't know who Mr. Liu is..."

"You seem to have a younger brother who works as a servant in the Su family in Jinling, right?"

Zhou Yang revealed the whereabouts of her brother in one sentence, which completely destroyed Ye Mei's desire to hold on.

"Lord City Lord, spare my life, Lord City Lord, I beg you. You can do whatever you want to me, but please don't hurt my brother!"

Ye Mei, who was kneeling on the ground, used all her strength to crawl to Zhou Yang's legs and kowtowed continuously.
