A Li was in Feng Si's bed!
Feng Wuya walked over. The guards wanted to stop him, but Jiang Tao, fearing they might injure him, quickly said, "Retreat."
Feng Wuya reached the collapsed wall and looked at the man still sitting coldly by the bed. He said gently, "Sir, there were assassins in the manor tonight. They just... wanted to search."
Feng Si remained silent, but it was clear he was displeased.
Feng Wuya turned back and looked at Long Xinghe. "I apologize. My friend here is an extraordinary master, and his temper... is not very good. Please forgive him, Princess."
Long Xinghe could be as hard as steel towards anyone, but she couldn't be towards Feng Wuya.
"I apologize. I was merely searching for assassins and had no intention of disturbing the Prince's friend. However, the young lady on the bed..."
The assassin tonight was naturally not the man in black standing there. Their figures were vastly different.
The assassin was a woman.
And the one on the bed was also a young lady... However, they seemed to have been intimate just moments ago...
Long Xinghe, half-believing, said to the lady behind the gauze curtain, neither warm nor cold, "May I know which young lady you are? Could you please come out and meet me?"
Chu Qianli was not there.
She also wanted to know if the woman on the bed was indeed her.
Finally, the young lady was dressed. She casually lifted the gauze curtain.
It was indeed Chu Qianli!
Her small face was flushed, and there were still traces left by the man on her neck...
The other young ladies blushed, but Long Xinghe frowned, her doubts still lingering.
Chu Qianli.
The same name!
But they looked completely different.
Yet, the spirit in their brows... still resembled each other!
The assassin was very familiar with the gun in her hand! It was as if she had always known what it was.
Was it really her?
"Sir, Miss Chu, to prove your innocence, may I have my people search?"
The assassin was wearing a night-blooming outfit tonight. If it was truly Chu Qianli, then she would absolutely have no opportunity to discard the night-blooming outfit outside.
Long Xinghe had absolute confidence in her speed.
If the assassin was Chu Qianli, even if she had time to take off the night-blooming outfit, she would definitely not have time to discard it.
Chu Qianli, somewhat unwillingly, emerged from behind Feng Si and got off the bed.
She gently tugged at the man still sitting by the bed and whispered, "If we don't let them search, this Princess probably won't give up. Are you getting up?"
Feng Si glanced at her, seemingly still very displeased that their activity had been interrupted.
Chu Qianli softened her voice, coaxing him in a sweet, melodious tone, "We'll have another chance, won't we? Another day... we can continue, alright?"
Feng Si raised an eyebrow, lifted his eyelids, and met her gaze. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. "Truly?"
Chu Qianli felt a pang of guilt. It felt as if she had boarded a pirate ship.
However, for now, she could only send Long Xinghe away.
She had just realized the danger of the handgun. At that moment, Chu Qianli understood that she had been exposed.
Therefore, at this moment, she absolutely could not let Long Xinghe know that she was the junior sister she had killed in the 21st century.
Otherwise, being on Long Xinghe's territory, she could be killed by her army at any moment.
"Truly." She turned back and smiled at Feng Si, a smile that was somewhat teeth-clenching. "Get up first."
Feng Si finally stood up.
What a tall and slender man!
Even Long Xinghe couldn't help but be amazed by his physique.
However, her heart belonged to Feng Wuya. No matter how good-looking other men were, to her, they were merely a fleeting glance of admiration.
With a wave of her hand, Long Xinghe said sternly, "Search!"
Jiang Tao immediately led over a dozen guards and meticulously searched every corner of the room.
Not a single corner was missed.
Let alone night-blooming outfits or short knives, even a single strand of hair would have barely escaped their sharp eyes.
But...
"Princess, we have searched three times... and found nothing." Jiang Tao had thought he would be completely confident, but he really found nothing.
Could it be that the assassin tonight was not Chu Qianli?
If it were her, where was the night-blooming outfit hidden?
Whether it was Feng Si or Chu Qianli, their clothes were still relatively thin, making it impossible to hide anything.
There was also no way to discard it outside in such a short time.
They had discovered the assassin and immediately pursued. The only possible opportunity for Chu Qianli to take off her clothes was during the time they were searching.
But at that time, she was already in the room.
This night-blooming outfit couldn't have disappeared into thin air. Could it really not be her?
Jiang Tao looked at Long Xinghe, awaiting her judgment.
Long Xinghe pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment before saying, "The thief might still be elsewhere in the manor. Continue to send people to investigate."
"Yes!"
Jiang Tao understood. The eldest princess temporarily believed Chu Qianli.
The別苑 (bie yuan - separate residence/villa) was so large, perhaps the assassin was still in other parts of the別苑.
She immediately led her men to continue the search.
As for Long Xinghe, she looked at Feng Si with great interest in her eyes.
"Sir, your martial arts have truly opened my eyes. May I know who you are? I am very eager to get to know you. May I..."
He ignored her!
No one had ever dared to disrespect her existence like this!
But Feng Si dared!
And he dared to do so brazenly!
Just as Long Xinghe was enthusiastically extending an invitation, Feng Si seemed to have lost his patience. He turned and looked at Chu Qianli, who was standing beside him.
"To your room?"
Chu Qianli's face turned red, and she was instantly filled with resentment.
Although she knew what he meant, to put on a complete act, she felt embarrassed in front of everyone, even if he didn't.
Chu Qianli glanced at him, resentfully saying, "Everyone is still here..."
"Didn't you just say, 'continue'?"
Feng Si suddenly took a step forward, and his powerful, cold aura instantly enveloped Chu Qianli.
"You lied to me?"
"How... how could I dare? It's just that everyone is here... Hey! Hey, what are you doing? You..."
Finally, when Feng Si's long fingers landed on her neck, Chu Qianli immediately closed her mouth and stopped struggling.
What a joke!
If she struggled any further, he would acupoint her!
It was just an act, why did it have to be so realistic?
It was a bit much.
Fu Long wanted to go and stop him, but Long Ziyue immediately pulled him back and winked at him, "You can't beat him, and you want to interrupt their good time?"
Fu Long was somewhat helpless.
Even though he knew they were acting, Feng Si's powerful aura still made him a little uneasy.
Feng Wuya, as if accustomed to it, saw Feng Si and Chu Qianli enter the room and decided to return as well.
He said to Long Xinghe, "I am still feeling unwell. I will take my leave. Tie Xin, escort the Princess."
"Yes!"
Tie Xin came before Long Xinghe after him, neither servile nor overbearing, saying, "Princess, my Prince needs to rest. If there is nothing else, please do not disturb him."
This remark was somewhat impolite, but since he was Feng Wuya's man, Long Xinghe could tolerate it.
She looked at Feng Wuya's retreating back and smiled, "Then, I will come early tomorrow to accompany Wuya to the palace to see His Majesty."
