Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 189 Uncovering the mole

Shopkeeper Bi had a guilty conscience, so when he heard Zhu Yanxiao wanted to kill him, he was prepared. He immediately kicked the ground with one foot and jumped out of the window. His figure was as erratic as a ghost, and his speed was extremely fast.

But, the clouds are moving faster.

Just as Bi was about to jump to the window to escape, Xingyun jumped with both feet, and his eyes could see the other's terrified look. The leader of the Feidao Guard raised his right hand and slashed the dagger in Bi's neck. As blood splattered, Xingyun turned his face to the side and raised his left hand to block his cheek with his elbow to prevent the blood from splashing on his face.

Shopkeeper Bi fell onto the eight-immortals table with his hands tightly covering his neck, knocking over all the food and rolling to the ground. He could no longer utter any sound, and blood gushed out from between his fingers, flowing more and more until it submerged his fingers and soaked half of his clothes. He then died with a grim expression.

Shen Shenshen couldn't help but peek from behind Zhu Yanxiao. She exclaimed, "Ah!" and hurriedly covered her eyes with both hands. At the same time, the pungent smell of blood also made her frown.

When Mu Yejun heard Shen Shenshen's cry, he stood up to protect her, but he saw Zhu Yanxiao had already hugged the woman in his arms and kept comforting her, "It's okay, this prince is here."

The second young master Mu sat down awkwardly without saying a word.

"Come here, tidy up this place." After giving the order, Zhu Yanxiao said to Shen Shenshen, "Let's change to an elegant room." He paused, glanced at Mu Yejun who was in a trance, frowned, and felt that he was not in a good state, so he immediately called him, "Second Master Mu, please."

Mu Yejun came to his senses and followed the two people out of the blood-stained elegant room and moved to another room.

In Zuiyue Tower, the maids and servants serving in the private rooms on the second floor were cleaning the room that was covered in blood and filth in an orderly manner, as if nothing had happened.

A pretty little maidservant walked into the newly moved elegant room of Zhu Yanxiao and the other two, and placed tea and snacks on the eight-immortal table gently without making any sound. After serving the tea, she was very observant of the master's words and expressions, and knew that her master had something important to discuss, so she left the room quietly and closed the wooden door gently.

Shen Shen raised the teacup and took two sips of hot tea to moisten his throat. After taking a breath, he said to Zhu Yanxiao.

"When did Ziyuan realize that there was something wrong with Manager Bi?"

Zhu Yanxiao glanced at her, as if to say: Why did you suddenly become stupid?

Mu Yejun also withdrew his thoughts and looked at Zhu Yanxiao.

Prince Zhu spoke, "First, the God of Gods told me about the clues that Second Young Master Bi Mu had found while tracking the woman in white. He knocked on the door and entered the room right after he finished speaking. The timing of knocking on the door was too coincidental. Secondly, why did the masked man in black immediately know that the three of us were in this elegant pavilion? It took me no more than half a cup of tea to enter Zuiyue Tower, and only Shopkeeper Bi knew that Mu Yejun entered this room. Finally, and this is the key to my confirmation that he had a problem, when Xingyun Chuan entered the room, he did not look around, and turned a blind eye to the mess in the room, and did not even show any surprise. That can only mean that he already knew that there was a killer coming to assassinate him."

Shen Shenshen nodded thoughtfully and looked at Zhu Yanxiao, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Ziyuan, you are amazing! I didn't even notice these details."

Zhu Yanxiao was somewhat helpless, "It's just experience. Prince Zhong's Mansion is a big place that attracts the wind. We have seen too many plots and assassinations."

Shen Shen sighed, "Everyone knows the splendor of Prince Zhong's Mansion, but no one knows how precarious the royal family is."

Zhu Yanxiao couldn't help but smile when he saw her looking so solemn. He couldn't help but pinch Shen Shenshen's face, "Don't worry, with this prince here, no one can hurt Miss Shen Er. However, this matter is not that simple. Maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind it. We must be careful."

Shen Shenshen nodded, secretly thanking his luck that Zhu Yanxiao was by his side, which made him feel safe.

Zhu Yanxiao looked at Mu Yejun and suddenly said, "Second Master Mu, this Shopkeeper Bi came to Zuiyue Tower as the shopkeeper thirty years ago. At that time, Xingyun conducted an investigation and found that Shopkeeper Bi had a clean background. Now think about it, is he too innocent?"

Mu Yejun guessed that he already knew 70% of the killer's identity, but he didn't expect that this person would betray him. Looking at Zhu Yanxiao's intimate behavior towards Shen Shenshen, his mood became heavier. When he heard Zhu Yanxiao's hidden meaning in his words, he became even more annoyed and couldn't bear it anymore, so he sneered.

"What does the prince want to say? You might as well say it directly. Beating around the bush is extremely hypocritical."

Zhu Yanxiao did not get angry with him, but asked in a deep voice: "Is Manager Bi a member of the Burning Shadow Hall?"

"I don't know." Mu Yejun answered simply.

"I don't know?" Zhu Yanxiao frowned. Did he guess wrong?

"Master Zhu, I believe you already know that there is a force in Fen Ying Hall that wants to deal with me, otherwise, there wouldn't be someone targeting Shen Shen in Jixian Teahouse that day to threaten me. In my opinion, even if Manager Bi is from Fen Ying Hall, he was arranged to target my force, with the purpose of grasping Shen Shen's movements to lure me out."

"Wait." Zhu Yanxiao keenly caught the loophole in Mu Yejun's words, "Second Master Mu only said that Manager Bi is another Fenyingtang force targeting you, but he did not mention that the black-clothed assassin is from that side. Could it be that... Second Master Mu already knows the identity of the assassin?"

Hearing this, Mu Yejun took a good look at Zhu Yanxiao, revealing a hint of appreciation, "Master Zhu, you are indeed worthy of being my opponent."

"So, I guessed right."

"I have indeed guessed the identity of today's assassin, but it is only a guess. I should be able to know it tomorrow."

"Well, Ziyuan, Huaibi, how about we talk about our plans for tomorrow?" Shen Shenshen interrupted.

Zhu Yanxiao looked at her beautiful face and said reluctantly: "Tomorrow, I and Second Young Master Mu will go. God, please don't put yourself in danger again."

For the first time ever, Mu Yejun and Zhu Yanxiao said the same thing: "This young master also thinks that Shenshen should not go."

"No. That thief is so smart that he will never show up unless I go."

"Shen Shen! Even if you go, there is no guarantee that he will show up." Zhu Yanxiao was furious.

"Ziyuan, Huaibi, if we don't solve this problem, it will be like a sword hanging over our heads. I don't know when it will fall and chop us down. We might as well lure the snake out of its hole tomorrow and put an end to it. Doesn't he want to transfer Huaibi? Then let him do as he wishes."

The two men sitting there were silent.

Seeing that the two had no reaction, Shen Shen continued: "Our advantage now is that the man doesn't know that we predicted his prediction."

"What do you mean, God?" Mu Yejun looked confused.

"To put it simply, the man who wanted to deal with Huai Bi deliberately used the woman in white to lure Huai Bi to follow him, and then deliberately let Huai Bi hear what he said, in order to induce Huai Bi to follow me to the agreed location tomorrow, and then set up an ambush to kill you. However, he had no way of knowing, and we had already seen through all of this."

"So, we can use their trick against us." Shen Shenshen's eyes flashed with cunning, "Tomorrow, Miss Ben will pretend that she knows nothing and go to the appointment alone as usual."

Zhu Yanxiao asked: "What will the gods do next?"

Shen Shen continued: "Huai Bi, besides you, are there any elders or anything like that among the powerful members of your Fen Ying Hall?

"In addition to this young master, there are two elders in the Burning Shadow Hall. The elders are in charge of two branch hall masters each. The branch hall masters are in charge of the people in the Burning Shadow Hall in different places."

"Excuse me, my eldest sister Shen Caizi is..."

Mu Yejun glanced at Shen Shenshen and said, "One of the masters of the Hutang branch."

"Todou?"

"Sorry, Shenshen, but knowing too much will do you no good."

"I understand. I won't ask any more questions. Huaibi, why don't you take this opportunity to wipe out those people in Fenying Hall who are disloyal to you?"

Mu Yejun smiled, his handsome face beaming with energy, "What tricks does the God have?"

"Why not tell the two elders and the four branch hall masters about the six false messages about Huai Huai Bi at different locations tomorrow? Then we'll see whose false messages are known by the person behind the scenes, and then we can find out who in Fen Ying Hall is disloyal to you."

Zhu Yanxiao tapped his index finger lightly, "God, why are you helping Mu Yejun so much?"

"Because the Feningtang, which is managed by Huaibi, will never do anything bad to me. I don't trust anyone else to be the person in charge of Feningtang." Shen Shenshen answered firmly.

Mu Yejun smiled brightly.

"How about we discuss tomorrow's preparations in detail now?" Shen Shen looked at the two young masters with bright eyes.

Zhu Yanxiao and Mu Yejun looked at her.

About half an incense stick later, the three of them completed the negotiation on tomorrow's layout.

"God, please be careful tomorrow." Zhu Yanxiao still reminded worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm very smart." Shen Shen patted his chest confidently.
