  Chen Yuan thought to himself, if it weren't for this trouble now, the situation would still be quite beneficial for him. Yang Zhuang can't do a good job by himself, Chen Yuan could take the initiative to help out! It's likely that after helping out, he'll become the boss of this inn.

  Yang's boss? Let him be the chairman then.

  He couldn't help but take a glance at the lotus flower, and this little girl was indeed quite lovely.

  As soon as there's a crooked thought in one's mind, there will naturally be impurities in one's eyes. A woman's intuition is always particularly keen, and after Lychee discovered the impurities in Chen Yuan's gaze, her face suddenly turned red, she snatched the bed sheets from Chen Yuan's hands, lowered her head and ran off: "I'm going to wash clothes!"

  Chen Yuan naturally knew why she wanted to run, and couldn't help but admire herself for still thinking about these things at this time. Now the most important thing for him was to think of a way to deal with that expert from the Tai Shi Fu.

  The bell can only be untied by the one who tied it. Chen Yuan thought that all the trouble was brought by Hu Jing, as long as she left and appeared somewhere else, the other party's attention would immediately shift away from himself. At that time, as long as he behaved normally and was a bit clever, he still had a chance to get out of the game! At least at that time, he wouldn't implicate Yang Zhuang's father and daughter again.

  This requires Hu Jing to recover quickly, and before she can walk again, I hope that master from the Tai Shi Fu doesn't appear.

  Just as he thought of this, a very cold voice came from below, the voice was small, but it clearly conveyed every word into Chen Yuan's ears: "Open a guest room!"

  Chen Yuan turned his head and saw a man in his thirties standing at the door with a knife in his arms.

  For some reason, when he saw the big man standing at the door, he suddenly felt that the road in front of the door was no longer accessible. The gate of the inn was a bit narrow, but it was not a problem for three or four people to enter and exit side by side. But Chen Yuan really felt that as soon as the man stood there, the gate could not be passed through.

  That man had a few strands of hair hanging down from his forehead, covering one eye. The remaining eye stared coldly at Chen Yuan.

  Chen Yuan felt his back suddenly turn cold.

  The shopkeeper hurried over: "Ah, Master, you've arrived! How many days will you be staying? I'll get your things ready right away."

  That man seemed to dislike the shopkeeper, his eyes fixed on Chen Yuan: "How much per night?"

  The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Our small store is cheap, only 40 cents can stay for a whole day."

  He pulled out a handful of cash from his pocket: "Here's some money first. If it's not enough, tell me later."

  Yang Zhuang responded with a pause, "Alright! Lotus flower, lead the guest into the room!"

  The diamond-shaped flower ran over, holding a string of keys and bringing that person upstairs.

  The man's gaze had been fixed on Chen Yuan all along. When the two people met on the stairs, for some reason, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a chill come over him. Was this what they called killing intent? Chen Yuan was startled.

  That man saw Chen Yuan's whole body tremble and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Hmph!" The meaning was very clear, he looked down on Chen Yuan.

  From that person's sharp eyes, Chen Yuan also knew that the other party had enough reason to despise him and he couldn't hide anymore.

  Since we can't hide and can't escape, let's all come then! Chen Yuan made up his mind, no matter if it was the Taishi Mansion or the Kaifeng Prefecture, nor did he care who the high-ranking officials were. Since there was nowhere to hide, he would fight them head-on!

  His head spinning rapidly, Liang Hua arranged the man's room and came down to serve tea, looking at Chen Yuan's stunned gaze on the stairs with some surprise: "Brother Chen, what's wrong?"

  Chen Yuan shook his head and threw away his thoughts, softly telling Ling Hua: "Sister, go give some food to that Hu Jingduo right away. The two of us won't go see her for the next few days."

  "Hexagonal flower was taken aback: 'What happened?'"

  Chen Yuan's mouth was facing the room where that person had just moved in and muttered: "Guess it's for her."

  "What should we do then?"

  Chen Yuan didn't know what to do either, but one thing he was certain of was that these people must have already confirmed that he had hidden Hu Jing. They wouldn't make a move on him until they found out where Hu Jing was. Occasionally catching sight of the teapot in Liang Hua's hand, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered the rat poison he had bought and his heart hardened: "Forget it, I won't give it to Hu Jing to use, let this little brat try some first!"

  Of course, we can't poison him now. These people from the jianghu are ruthless and cunning. If we get caught, just look at that person's attitude and demeanor, even ten Chen Shi Meis wouldn't be able to handle him. We can't match him in strength, so we must outsmart him!

  Chen Yuan whispered in Lianhua's ear: "Just pretend you don't know anything, I'll think of a way."

  Daytime is not the time to make a move, daytime if there's a murder case, first it's hard to deal with the body, secondly, alarming the authorities is also troublesome. Chen Yuan decided to wait until nighttime to find an opportunity to make his move, only, at night, maybe others will also make their move.

  Chen Yuan returned to his room, thinking to himself that just thinking about killing someone was not enough. What if the other person made a move faster than him? He wouldn't even have a chance to use poison before being killed.

  He was certain in his heart that as long as he didn't reveal Hu Jing's whereabouts, the other party wouldn't resort to killing him. However, a severe beating was unavoidable, and how could Chen Shi Mei's frail body withstand it?

  Chen Yuan's eyes darted back and forth, suddenly thinking that if he set up some traps in this room, he might be able to ensure his own safety. He looked around at the furnishings in the room, racking his brain for all the trap devices he had seen in movies.

  Let's put aside Chen Yuan setting up traps in the house for now, but another person has just entered through the inn's entrance. It is Yao San, the carriage driver who was taken away by Zhao Hu after the murder case occurred yesterday.

  After entering the house, he saw the shopkeeper inside the counter, busy with his hands clasped together and said: "May I ask if the shopkeeper still remembers me?"

  Yang the shopkeeper had been running his store for many years, so he naturally took a closer look at people. Moreover, it hadn't been long since the murder case occurred, so he recognized him at once: "Ah, isn't this the young man who drove the carriage? Please come in quickly, please come in quickly."

  The car husband smiled and entered the inner hall. The shopkeeper was busy pouring tea: "Young man, where are you preparing to go?"

  Yao San sighed: "I just came out of Kaifeng Prefecture, now something has happened to my master, I don't know what to do next, but no matter what, I must first go back and report the death."

  Yang nodded and also sighed: "This going out, encountering such things, is really unexpected. Don't be too sad, young man. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know."

  Yao San bowed with his fists: "My master must have been robbed because he showed off his wealth, and even though the thief hasn't been caught yet, at least we have a lead now. When I go back, I'll be able to report something."

  He said that here, his tone suddenly changed, and after looking around to make sure no one was listening, he continued: "But, not to deceive the boss, the rooms in Kaifeng Prefecture are not as comfortable as my carriage. I haven't slept well for several days. If there's an empty room, I'll go in and stay for a day before leaving."

  "Hey brothers, are there any remaining recommendation tickets? Can you spare two for Lao Hei?"
