Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao returned to the palace and immediately went to see the eldest princess to report the current situation in detail.
The princess frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "This matter is of great importance, you must be careful. I will arrange for someone in the palace to assist you in the investigation. In addition, Ah Yan will be temporarily left to my care, so you can focus more on finding the truth."
Jiang Yanwan nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Princess. This is very important to us. Ah Yan obviously feels that something is wrong. He needs a reliable support now."
The princess smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, Ah Yan will be safe with me. Go and get ready, hurry up."
So Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao quickly picked up some necessities, hurriedly left the palace, and rushed to Wu Junyao's mansion. In the mansion, the Wu family guards were ready and waiting for orders.
After arriving at the mansion, Wu Junyao immediately gathered all available personnel and made arrangements.
"This mission is arduous. Our goal is to find a woman named Yun Ji who is related to the Rebirth Organization. We need to thoroughly investigate her whereabouts and make sure she won't hurt innocent people again."
The guards responded in unison: "Yes!"
However, at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and then a beautiful woman in a lavender dress walked in. It was Liu Mengli. She looked weak, as if she had just gotten up from the bed, her face was pale, and her body was trembling slightly.
"Brother Jun Yao... I heard that you are going out to investigate something. Can I... help?" Liu Mengli said softly, her slender fingers tightly clenching her cuffs, looking charming.
Wu Junyao frowned: "Mengli, you are weak and should not be tired. This mission is dangerous and unpredictable, so it is better for you not to participate."
Liu Mengli's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist when she heard this, "But, I want to help you..."
At this moment, Jiang Yanwan's eyes flashed. She noticed that there was some mud on the hem of Liu Mengli's skirt. It was obvious that she had just gone out, but why did she pretend to be weak?
"Miss Liu, why is there mud on your dress? Did you go out just now?" Jiang Yanwan asked calmly, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife.
Liu Mengli's expression changed, she looked down at the hem of her skirt, and quickly explained: "Oh, I accidentally got it dirty when I was walking in the garden just now."
Jiang Yanwan fixed her eyes on Liu Mengli, with doubts swirling in her heart. She chuckled and asked tentatively, "Ms. Liu, how long have you been weak? Are you taking any medicine to regulate your body?"
Liu Mengli coughed lightly and lowered her eyelashes, as if she couldn't bear the burden. "These days, I always feel weak, often can't sleep at night, and my mind is dazed. However, the imperial physician said that this is a minor illness and there is no need to worry too much. I just try to rest as much as possible to avoid affecting the overall situation."
Jiang Yanwan thought for a moment and said casually, "In that case, you should go back and rest early today. This operation is of great importance. If there are any accidents along the way, I'm afraid it will delay our important task."
When Liu Mengli heard this, a trace of grievance flashed across her face, "Miss Jiang, do you suspect that I am faking illness to gain everyone's sympathy? I really just want to help."
Seeing this, Wu Junyao immediately stepped forward and comforted her: "Mengli, don't think too much, Yan Wan is just concerned about your condition. Don't worry, we will act carefully and there will be no accidents."
“Brother Jun Yao, I…” Liu Mengli’s eyes were filled with tears and her voice trembled slightly, like a small flower ravaged by wind and rain, making people feel pity for her.
Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly and sighed inwardly. She knew that if she continued to pester him, it would only cause unnecessary trouble, so she turned around and walked out of the room.
Outside, it was already dark, the lights in the courtyard were flickering, and the Wu family's guards were nervously preparing. Jiang Yanwan stood under the long corridor, looking at the sky in the distance, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
At this time, Wu Junyao walked out quickly. He looked at Jiang Yanwan with a complicated expression, "Yanwan, don't take it to heart. Mengli is just... just a little sensitive."
Jiang Yanwan smiled faintly, "Have you taken her pulse? Perhaps this can help us determine her condition."
Wu Junyao nodded and said, "You are right. I was just planning to take her pulse to make her feel more at ease." Before he finished speaking, he heard Liu Mengli's weak voice behind him.
"Brother Jun Yao, can you help me take a look now?" Liu Mengli walked over with a pleading look in her eyes.
Wu Junyao had no choice but to nod. He stretched out his wrist and put it close to Liu Mengli's hand.
Liu Mengli's fingers gently rested on Wu Junyao's wrist, and the distance between them was instantly shortened. Liu Mengli closed her eyes slightly, looking focused and expectant.
Jiang Yanwan stood aside, watching coldly. She had already made up her mind, so she didn't bother him at this moment.
After a while, Wu Junyao slowly let go of Liu Mengli's hand and said softly, "Mengli, you are indeed a little weak, but it's okay. Just rest for a few days, don't worry too much."
Liu Mengli responded in a low voice, "Thank you, Brother Junyao. I will have a good rest. You must be careful when you go out and pay attention to safety."
Wu Junyao hummed: "We will be back as soon as possible."
Liu Mengli nodded reluctantly, then turned and left the courtyard, her back looking lonely and forlorn.
Suddenly, a guard came hurriedly and reported, "Young Master, we found a suspicious person outside the city. He seems to be related to the Reborn Organization."
Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan looked at each other and immediately prepared to set off.
Under the cover of night, the group rode their horses at full speed, rushing to a secret location outside the city. When they arrived at their destination, they approached quietly and saw a man in black clothes wandering stealthily by the woods.
Wu Junyao waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse and surround him. He and Jiang Yanwan approached the target silently, until the man in black realized the danger, and there was no way to escape.
"Who are you?" Wu Junyao asked coldly, pointing the sword in his hand directly at the man's throat.
The man in black looked pale, with sweat on his forehead, "Don't kill me! I'm just following orders, I'm willing to tell you anything!"
Jiang Yanwan's eyes were sharp. "Well, tell us now, what secrets do you have here?"
The man in black swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "I... I am a subordinate of the Rebirth Organization, responsible for delivering information and monitoring targets. The order I received this time is..."
Just as he was about to continue speaking, an arrow shot out from the air and hit the man in the chest. He widened his eyes in disbelief and then fell to the ground and died.
Jiang Yanwan was horrified, "Someone is ambushing!" She quickly drew her sword and looked around.
A dark figure flashed past between the trees, and Wu Junyao shouted angrily, "Chase!"
The two flew up and started to chase at high speed. The branches in the forest were dense, but the black shadow was agile and moved through the dense forest like lightning. Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan chased closely, and gradually, they approached the black shadow.
Suddenly, the shadow stopped and turned to fight. Jiang Yanwan recognized it at a glance. It was Yun Ji. Even though she was covered with a veil, it was not difficult to see that her eyes were cold.
"How dare you chase us here?" The woman sneered, drew the long sword in her hand, and started fighting fiercely with the two men.
Wu Junyao's swordsmanship was fierce, and he pressed forward step by step. Jiang Yanwan attacked from the flanks, and her moves were as swift as the wind. Although the opponent resisted tenaciously, he was outnumbered and gradually showed signs of defeat.
At this moment, the woman suddenly threw out something, and thick smoke suddenly filled the air, covering the sky and the sun. Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge, and when the smoke dissipated, the woman had disappeared without a trace.
Wu Junyao said in hatred: "Let her run away!"
Jiang Yanwan analyzed calmly, "But her appearance shows that we are on the right track. Although we didn't catch her this time, we already have a clue."
"Yes, let's continue." Wu Junyao nodded firmly.
The two quickly returned to the team and continued forward, surrounded by their guards. In the darkness, they embarked on a more dangerous pursuit, their hearts full of determination and faith.
Jiang Yanwan suddenly stopped and turned to Wu Junyao and said, "Commander Wu, do you think they will set a trap somewhere to lure us in?"
Wu Junyao frowned and thought, "It's possible. We must be more cautious."
