Wei Lingheng was able to investigate so quickly thanks to his grandfather. When he was investigating the murder of him, he found that his cousin Wei Nanxi was also involved.

However, he had no intention of becoming the crown prince, nor did he inflict any substantial harm on Wei Lingheng, or even did nothing at all. There was no way to find out anything about him, and it was strange that his background was so clean.

All that could be found out were insignificant things. I have to admit that he was very capable and he cleaned his tail very well.

"Let Li Zhenzhu go! If she gets out, that person will definitely look for her and will probably kill her to silence her. But this is perfect, it's exactly what we want."

Wei Lingheng went back and told his grandfather that the Marquis' Mansion was his world, and with the help of Prince Jin, it would be absolutely safe.

"Okay, it's decided. I will send someone to follow her secretly. By the way, Anyi, you should go with her when the time comes!"

Xiao Jinnian felt relieved only after An Yi took action. Although An Yi was a little stupid, he did a great job in completing the tasks he was told to do, and he was also an excellent martial arts master.

"Okay, but I still don't understand why you let Li Zhenzhu go! I caught her with great difficulty."

Xiao Jinnian and Wei Lingheng both held their foreheads and simply ignored him, chatting about their own things.

In the evening, Wei Lingheng went back and discussed countermeasures with his grandfather. They arranged all the manpower and waited for Li Zhenzhu to come back the next day.

Anyway, Wei Zhonglin didn't like his granddaughter. She was pretentious and even a little annoying to look at. His wife heard him complaining and always said that it was normal for a girl to behave like this because she was at that age and was very delicate.

Wei Zhonglin's family didn't understand why it was said that little girls should be so delicate and cuddly? Why weren't the little girls in their family like that?

After everything was arranged, Wei Lingheng went to the villa to see Li Lulu again, and then came back to go to bed.

The next day, Li Zhenzhu was released. She did not ask her parents when she was released. She went back without thinking, thinking that Wei Lingheng had compromised.

Even though she looked very miserable now, she held her head high and returned to the Marquis' Mansion like a proud rooster. The servants in the Marquis' Mansion bowed to her when they saw her, which made her feel even more proud and happy.

Without Li Lulu, the air is indeed extremely sweet. She is really an obstacle in his life, always blocking his good luck.

"Ziyun is back! You must have suffered a lot recently. You have lost weight." Wei Jingjing held Li Zhenzhu's hand with a look of pity on her face.

Wei Jingjing's two personal maids hurried to prepare food and bath water. After all, they had followed their master for so many years, so they had some good eyesight.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia go prepare food and bath water, and quickly take Ziyun into the house." Lan Shuyao frowned, not knowing what this girl had been through to make her so miserable.

As soon as they entered the house, the two of them asked Li Zhenzhu about her well-being.

"Ziyun, what happened to you? Didn't you say you were going home to meet distant relatives? How did you end up like this?" Wei Jingjing asked curiously.

"Yes! Where are your guards and maids?" Lan Shuyao was also confused. Where did so many guards and maids go?

Li Zhenzhu picked up her handkerchief and cried bitterly, "Wuwuwu... Grandma, Mother, I was heading back after visiting my relatives. I encountered bandits on the way. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape."

Wei Jingjing and Lan Shuyao felt even more distressed after hearing this. They let go of the grudges in their hearts and comforted Li Zhenzhu easily. The mother and daughter sighed, why does this child have such a miserable life!

When the food was served, Wei Jingjing and Lan Shuyao watched as Li Zhenzhu cleared the table clean as if she hadn't eaten for several lifetimes. They were so shocked that their jaws dropped.

After eating and drinking, Wei Jingjing asked Li Zhenzhu to take a quick shower and have a rest. They did not disturb her and took the opportunity to leave.

Wei Lingheng and Xiao Jinnian worked together to release Li Zhenzhu as bait to lure out the mastermind. The moment they ambushed in secret, everyone became 100% alert.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the operation, Wei Lingheng and Xiao Jinnian dispatched a team of martial arts masters.

These masters have all undergone rigorous training, and their endurance and fighting abilities are outstanding.

After waiting for five days, the person behind the scenes still hasn't appeared. They are well aware of the cunning and viciousness of the mastermind, so they have to act with caution.

An Yi couldn't stand it anymore. He fed mosquitoes on the roof for five days and his body was covered with red spots. He broke into Xiao Jinnian's room and saw Xiao Jinnian and Wei Lingheng drinking tea.

He was so angry that he was feeding mosquitoes outside while they were drinking tea and chatting here.

"Wei Lingheng, are you kidding me? I've been feeding mosquitoes for five days, and Li Zhenzhu doesn't know anything at all!" An Yi was so angry that his teeth were itching and he kept scratching his body.

"No! Don't worry, he must be unable to sit still. After all, Li Zhenzhu has been released. I will add some fuel to the fire and provoke the mastermind behind this." Wei Lingheng smiled, drank a cup of tea, and leisurely picked up a dessert and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Why are you going? You go there every day, but you never see that mysterious man come out." An Yi was angry and annoyed. They were still in the mood to drink tea and eat snacks.

He picked up the plate and stuffed the cakes into his mouth. As he ate, his mouth felt a little dry. He picked up the teapot and took several sips of water before he felt better.

"An Yi, you have to be patient. The mysterious man can keep his cool, so you have to keep your cool too. It's been several days, and he must be as anxious as an ant on the hot pan. He should come out if you hold on for a few more days." Xiao Jinnian's tone was as gentle as ever.

An Yi's face turned green after hearing this. He kicked the stool next to him and hugged his foot in pain. He actually forgot that it was a stone stool.

"Okay, okay, you all bully me." An Yi limped away angrily.

An Yi muttered as he walked: [Mysterious man, you'd better not show up. If you do, I want you to be fed to mosquitoes and taste my pain.]

"Will the mysterious man really show up?" Although Xiao Jinnian's tone was still gentle, he asked uncertainly.

Wei Lingheng knew that Xiao Jinnian also began to doubt whether the information he had found was wrong.

"Don't worry, he can't sit still anymore, and his fox tail can no longer be hidden. Your Highness Prince Jin, just wait quietly." Wei Lingheng was full of confidence, as his spies had already sent him new news.

As night fell and the moon rose high in the sky, the mastermind seemed unable to bear it any longer. He learned that Wei Lingheng went to see Li Zhenzhu every day.

He was afraid that Li Zhenzhu would expose him, so he decided to go find Li Zhenzhu in person at night.

This was the opportunity Wei Lingheng had been waiting for for a long time. They quickly formulated a new plan and asked their subordinates and their grandfather's subordinates to be ready to catch the mastermind when he showed up.

Li Zhenzhu has been very well-behaved these days. Wei Lingheng comes to see her every day. She feels that she and Wei Lingheng will be getting married soon, so she waits in the house for Wei Lingheng to come and see her every day.

Wei Lingheng didn't come to see her until the evening today, so she couldn't wait to go out to find him. As soon as she opened the door, a familiar yet inexplicably frightening figure appeared at the door.

She quickly closed the door, but the door was no match for Wei Nanxi. It only took one slap to break it.

"Sister, why don't you invite me into the house and sit down? Have I done anything to let you down by closing the door in such a hurry?" Wei Nanxi had a smile on her face, a smile that sent chills down people's spines.

Li Zhenzhu fell to the ground, her face pale with fright. Every time Wei Nanxi took a step forward, she took a step back. She kept shaking her head, indicating that she had not said anything to be detrimental to Wei Nanxi.

"Could it be that I have wronged you?" Wei Nanxi looked embarrassed. "Then why does Wei Lingheng come to your room every day? He hates you so much. Has he suddenly changed his nature and fallen in love with you?"

"No, I didn't. Wei Lingheng comes here every day just to talk to me." Li Zhenzhu's face was filled with fear. Wei Nanxi's current appearance was so terrifying that her voice was trembling with fear.

Wei Nanxi kicked Li Zhenzhu without mercy, then bent down and pinched her chin.

Li Zhenzhu's chin was pinched so hard that it hurt. Looking at Wei Nanxi's horrifying eyes, she was so scared that her face turned pale, her eyes were wide open, and her lips were trembling.

"It seems that you can't stay, my sister. You know too much." Wei Nanxi smiled and gently stroked Li Zhen's frightened pale cheek.

Although he had a smile on his face, his smile was actually frightening.

Li Zhenzhu struggled to escape, but Wei Nanxi grabbed her neck so tightly that she couldn't move.

She tried desperately to pry Wei Nanxi's hands away, but it was of no use. Instead, he grabbed her neck and carried her away.

Li Zhenzhu felt difficulty breathing, as if something was blocking her throat and she couldn't make any sound.
