If we say that Su Bai's lying skills had made great progress in the Confucius Mansion in Longxing, and after experiencing the hardships in Shanghai, it can be described as a leap forward.

He was terribly scared just now, but as soon as he started to lie his speech became very steady, without even a tremor.

"What are you doing in the city? Where are you from?" The guy holding the newspaper held the newspaper to the side of Su Bai's face and shook his head to look back and forth.

"We are Mr. Bai's cousins. We just arrived in Nanjing yesterday. Today we went to visit the outskirts of the city and now we are going home for dinner." Su Bai's tone was very calm, although his calves were still shaking a little.

"Cousin? What kind of relative is this?" This guy asked, and Su Bai was confused. He didn't have many relatives in his family, and he really couldn't figure out the relationships and titles here.

The person holding the photo next to him said, "You don't know this? Mr. Bai is the cousin of these two ladies!"

If they didn't have the photos and newspapers in their hands, they would really be two good people.

"This gentleman is right, my father and Mr. Bai are cousins." Su Bai tried his best to make his smile more natural.

"You know what, they really do look a little bit alike." The man holding the newspaper said to the man holding the photo.

The guy holding the photo held it in front of Su Bai and Zi Yan for a few seconds before putting it away. He then looked over at the newspaper in his companion's hand and said, "The one just now looks more like it!"

Then he complained: "It's such a crappy photo, we may not be able to recognize the real person if he came."

"Who does it look like? Can you show it to us?" Zi Yan was very generous. She reached out to take the newspaper while asking.

Su Bai confirmed once again that these two people might really be good people.

When the man saw Zi Yan reaching out her hand, he handed the newspaper to her directly: "Look, see if she looks like your sister?"

Zi Yan took it and looked at it, it was the photo that the Japanese had tricked her into taking.

"It seems a bit similar, look, sister!" When Zi Yan handed the newspaper to Su Bai, the guy snatched it back: "What are you looking at this for? Go home and eat, don't keep Mr. Bai waiting!"

At this time, another young man and woman came to the city gate, and these two people stopped them.

Good man, good man... Su Bai muttered silently as he walked into the city wall with Zi Yan. Only then did he realize that his legs seemed to be unable to walk and were very stiff.

He took a long breath and calmed himself down.

The two walked into the city. Zi Yan asked Su Bai, if the photo in the newspaper could not be compared, the photo in the other person's hand should be able to be recognized. What kind of eyesight do these two idiots have?

"Maybe it's because Mr. Bai is so famous that they let down their guard," Su Bai said.

After walking a few steps into the city, Su Bai realized that something was wrong.

I haven’t taken any pictures since I got here, so how could they have pictures of me?

"That photo is not mine!" Su Bai suddenly understood.

They were guarding the city gate not only to capture Lan Jieru, but also another person.

"Whose could it be?" Zi Yan asked herself and answered: "Whoever it is, we have successfully entered the city!"

"It's Lili's, it must be Lili's!" Su Bai said very affirmatively that the photo was of Wan Qili.

The investigation team must have known about Wan Qili's close relationship with me.

Wan Qili said that as long as we check, we will be able to find out, it’s just a matter of sooner or later, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.

As a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, there must be a file on Wan Qili in the Military Intelligence Bureau in Nanjing, and it should be the photo on the file.

"What should we do? Will Wan Qili be in danger?" Zi Yan stopped and looked towards the city gate.

They were not far from the city gate and did not see Wan Qili come in.

Su Bai thought about it and decided that it was pointless to wait here as it would easily attract attention, so he decided to go to Xinglong Restaurant and wait.

She believed in Wan Qili, she must have a way to get into the city safely.

These were just words to comfort Zi Yan. From this moment on, Su Bai began to feel anxious.

There were no covered carriages or rickshaws, so Su Bai stopped two at random and took them to Xinglong Restaurant.

The restaurant is indeed quite grand, with three floors in Chinese style and an antique feel. The stone steps at the door are higher than the windowsills of the shops next to it.

As soon as the two got off the rickshaw, Xu Tianyi poked his head out from behind the red lacquer door of the restaurant: "You're here? Where's Lili?"

If Wan Qili were here, she would definitely scold him again.

"Where is the car?" Su Bai came to Xu Tianyi and asked.

"The car has stopped at the backyard. The backyard of this restaurant is a hotel. You can take a rest after dinner. I'll go to the long-distance bus station to check."

"Come in and talk!" Su Bai came to the second floor under the guidance of Xu Tianyi and a waiter. Xu Tianyi booked a private room.

"Someone will come to the private room booked by Mr. Xu in a while. Bring her in." Su Bai said to the waiter.

"Order now?" Xu Tianyi asked.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Miss Wan hasn't arrived yet. Are you a starving ghost?" Zi Yan retorted.

"Order whatever you like!" Su Bai called the waiter in again.

Xu Tianyi and Zi Yan were ordering dishes, and Su Bai's eyes were always on the door curtain of the private room.

"Please serve the food later. We still have a friend who hasn't arrived yet." Su Bai said to the waiter.

Half an hour later, the waiter came again to ask if the customers had arrived, and Su Bai asked him to serve the dishes.

"Eat slowly, and give me a pot of wine." Su Bai felt that he might have to spend more time here.

Even though everyone was slow, the food on the table gradually became less and colder.

It's almost two o'clock.

"The hotel and restaurant are one and the same. Let's take two rooms first and then go back to the room and wait after dinner." Su Bai put down her chopsticks. She was full.

At this moment, I heard the waiter outside the door saying, "Miss, this way please."

Then he said, "Where have you been, miss? You got all this dirty. I'll get you a hot towel!"

The three people in the private room looked at the door curtain at the same time.

A corner of the door curtain was lifted, and a dusty head popped in: "Have you finished eating?"

It’s Wan Qili!

Not only was his face covered in dirt, but his body as well.

As soon as they entered the room, they started beating. Zi Yan kept shouting, "Can you please stand further away? It's so dirty!"

"What's so dirty about it? It's not dirt!"

It turned out to be flour.

Xu Tianyi smiled: "Lili, are you carrying bags of flour for others?"

"Call me Lili?" Wan Qili came directly in front of Xu Tianyi, slapped her head and shook it vigorously, and the flour went all over Xu Tianyi's body: "Are we so intimate? Call me Miss Wan!"

Indeed, not only Xu Tianyi, but even Zi Yan usually called her Miss Wan, but from today on they called her Lili, and that was also how they addressed her when talking to Su Bai.

"Your name is Lili, isn't it? Names are given to people to call them by," Su Bai said to Xu Tianyi, "Just call her Lili and see what she can do!"

"Hehe, I dare not." Xu Tianyi smiled innocently.

Zi Yan asked: "How did you do this? My sister said that someone was holding your photo at the city gate. Is it true? Are they really trying to catch you?"
