Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Ji Xianchen didn't want to hide it from them, so he briefly told them about Fu Lan's plot against Gu Tu and others.

After hearing this, Luo Han and the other man were stunned for a long time.

“So, Miss Hua Xi’s father, Master Yi Mu’s mother, and Uncle Qiu, they could all be fine, all because of the former Xuan Lord…”

Wen Cong didn't dare to say anything further, because he knew in his heart that if this was the case, it would mean that Ji Xianchen was the son of Hua Xi and their enemy.

…This is so cruel.

Luo Han shook his head. He did not accept this cruel ending. "But, Third Brother had no idea about what the former Xuan Lord did. Miss Hua Xi is so sensible. She would not blame Third Brother. She would not blame..."

He kept repeating this sentence, as if saying it would make it come true.

But he also knew in his heart that under such a deep blood feud, it was normal for Miss Hua Xi to hate her third brother.

……

As for the aristocratic family, after getting the silver ring that Elder Lu brought back from Xuan Palace, they spread the news immediately and then waited for Fu Lan to fall into the trap.

Naitu, who was held hostage in the Li family, was randomly locked up in the cell where Hua Xi had been before. The difference was that no one was left to guard him because Li Qingchi thought it was unnecessary to waste manpower on such an unknown person.

This arrangement was exactly what Naitu wanted, as it would make it less easy for him to be discovered when he broke into the prison by picking the lock.

Nai Tu was anxious to find out about Hua Chaochao. Less than ten minutes after entering the cell, he pulled out a wire from the lining of his clothes and started to pry the lock.

Fortunately, he has a wide range of interests and hobbies, and has learned a lot of different skills. Among them, lock picking skills are the one he has learned best, and 90% of the locks are not difficult for him.

Besides, there was no need for a very strong lock to lock up a small person like him. As he fiddled with the lock, the lock core made a slight "click" sound, and soon after, it opened with a "click".

Naito pushed the door open quietly, walked out and closed it carefully to prevent others from noticing that he was missing.

After closing the door, he pressed close to the wall and moved cautiously, thinking at the same time that he had to find a way to get a set of Li family clothes. With his current outsider attire, it would be impossible for him to go out and gather information.

Perhaps God heard his voice, because when Naito turned a corner, he saw a team of guards wearing blue badges patrolling nearby.

The guards of the aristocratic families use badges of different colors to represent different levels. Red is the highest, which means senior guards, followed by yellow, and the lowest is blue. Therefore, the martial arts level of these people that Naito saw would not exceed level five.

And Naito is a sixth-level martial artist, one level higher than them, so taking clothes from them is a good idea.

So Naito set his sights on these guards, quietly following the patrol team, looking for a suitable opportunity.

A few minutes later, one of the guards wanted to go to the restroom, so he left the team and walked towards a nearby public restroom.

Seeing this, Naito thought that the opportunity had come and hurriedly followed.

When the guard was about to wash his hands after finishing the job, Naito quickly stepped in, covered the guard's mouth, then knocked him unconscious with a heavy blow and dragged him into the next compartment.

Naitu deftly stripped off the guard's clothes, put them on himself, and then tidied them up carefully.

After packing up, Naito swaggered out of the bathroom, whistling a little tune, as if he was the guard here and had no guilt at all.

However, since this was his first time at the Li family's house and he was not familiar with the layout, he had no choice but to wander around and try his luck.

The Li family’s mansion was really big, and as Naito walked along, he felt like he was getting lost.

After wandering around for half an hour, Naito hardly encountered any lone people. There were either teams of guards patrolling or groups of busy servants walking around.

It would be difficult for him to get the point across with so many people around and it would be easy for him to be exposed, so he gave up opportunities again and again and continued to grope his way around in this maze-like Li family mansion.

Before he knew it, Naito had reached the residential area.

Looking at the courtyards in front of him, Naito realized that this was where the Li family lived.

He was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to go in and give it a try.

Just as he was standing there, hesitating, suddenly, a clear voice sounded from behind him -

"Can I help you?"

Naito's body stiffened, and he slowly turned around, and saw a woman in a yellow coat and gold-rimmed glasses looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

The smile looked quite kind, but Naito was still nervous, after all, he didn't know the man's identity.

"I... I'm new here and I'm lost." Naito replied, pretending to be calm.

Hua Chaochao nodded. "So you are new here. No wonder you look unfamiliar to me. The Li family's house is big, so it's normal to get lost easily. Where are you going? I'll show you the way."

He looks very warm-hearted.

But it was Hua Chaochao who was pretending. God knows how much effort she put in to hold back her laughter in front of this familiar face?

After coming out of the cell, Naito tore off the human skin mask on his face, and relying on the fact that no one in the Li family knew him, he walked around boldly. Fortunately, everyone was busy with their own things and didn't pay attention to this stranger, otherwise, with his skills, he would have been discovered long ago.

Naito didn't know that the person standing in front of him was the person he had been longing to get information about. At this moment, he was no longer nervous. He thought he had met a kind person and was very happy. He planned to get some information from her.

So he quickly said, "Actually, I don't know where I'm going. I just came out for a walk to get familiar with the road."

Hua Chaochao looked as if she understood. "I have a map that I can give to you. Do you want it?"

Naito was delighted and quickly said, "Yes! Thank you so much."

Even if I can't find out any information, it would be good to get the map.

With a slight smile on her lips, Hua Chaochao replied gently: "You're welcome. Come with me."

While walking on the road, Naito asked the people around him a lot of basic information in order to get close to them.

Hua Chaochao also showed great patience. She answered whatever Naitu asked without showing any impatience at all.

Then Naito found out that the lady who helped him was named "Ye Xiao" and was the assistant of the hidden network master.

He was a little confused as to why the assistant of the hidden webmaster would live in the Li family, but this did not hinder his purpose. As long as he could find out the news about Hua Chaochao, it would be enough.

After learning her name, Naito called her "Miss Ye" in a very affectionate manner, just wanting to get closer to her so as to obtain useful information from her.

When he felt the time was right, Naito pretended to ask casually, "I heard that a very beautiful little girl appeared in the Li family recently. She is about 20 years old, with slightly curly hair and bright eyes. My brother saw her once and couldn't stop thinking about her. He almost lost his appetite and said he wanted to see her again. I am willing to help him, but I am not familiar with the Li family. Miss Ye, have you seen this girl?"

You've seen it. Isn't it right in front of you?

Hua Chao thought to herself, but on the surface she stopped after listening to Naito's words, pretending to think for a while, and then she said: "The person you are talking about...I seem to have seen her yesterday."

When Naito heard this, he suppressed his excitement and asked anxiously, "Really? Then do you know where she is now?"

Hua Chaochao frowned slightly, then said with a hint of regret: "She seems to be someone who belongs to the Li tribe leader, so she should be with the tribe leader. I don't know the details."

After a pause, Hua Chaochao put on a considerate expression again: "When you go back, persuade your brother that the person he likes...there is basically no possibility between them. Don't let him have any more crazy thoughts."

Naito thought to himself that it made no difference whether he knew the news or not, and he hummed, "Okay, I'll tell my brother, thank you Miss Ye."
