After the divorce, I wanted to give up, but the Prime Minister took me into his arms in the street

"Zheng Jiaxuan, why are you here?" Ling Mohui asked in a low voice, with some confusion.

Zheng Jiaxuan quickly covered her mouth, quietly pulled her to a hidden place, and hinted to the VIP in the box opposite with his eyes.

"That's the Minister of Personnel, Zeng Mao." Zheng Jiaxuan lowered his voice, revealing a hint of nervousness and vigilance in his words.

Ling Mohui was surprised, but more worried, "You investigated him privately? This is no joke. If you are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Facing Ling Mohui's worries, Zheng Jiaxuan looked determined, "My parents were innocently killed by these people. How can I just sit there and do nothing?"

Ling Mo patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't say that. Since I have saved you, I will not shrink back. But you must be careful and don't put yourself in danger."

"Are there any important clues at the moment?" Ling Mohui immediately turned to the main topic, with a bit more solemnity in her tone.

Zheng Jiaxuan lowered his voice, revealing a hint of secrecy in his words: "Recently, he has frequently interacted with a mysterious person whose whereabouts are erratic and whose identity is unknown. And according to my observation, the person who met with him tonight is likely to be a trusted subordinate of the master behind the scenes. His actions are covert and his intentions are unclear."

As they were talking, Zeng Mao and his entourage quietly appeared from the crack of the door of the private room and then disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Zheng Jiaxuan and Ling Mohui hurriedly looked for a hiding place, and only dared to carefully reappear in the dim light until they were sure that their figures had completely disappeared into the night.

Soon after I stepped out of the door, a familiar voice broke the silence of the night.

"Xu Yanqing? This unexpected meeting is such a surprise. Why are you here too?" Ling Mohui asked with a little surprise.

Xu Yanqing's eyes lightly passed in the direction where Zeng Mao left, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he bowed to Ling Mohui, and his words were full of courtesy and familiarity: "Madam Fu, it's true that we meet everywhere in life. I hope you are well!"

Zheng Jiaxuan spoke softly, his voice was thin as a thread, but it was clearly heard by everyone present: "I heard that Lord Xu, the Minister of the Dali Temple, has been disagreeing with Lord Zeng in the court recently and they have been arguing with each other."

As soon as these words were spoken, the glances between Xu Yanqing and Ling Mohui were filled with a hint of subtle awkwardness and subtlety.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Yanqing almost reflexively invited Ling Mo to move to another more secluded box, "Mrs. Fu, please follow me. It's quieter here."

In the private room, the candlelight flickered, and Xu Yanqing casually suggested, "I wonder if Madam Fu would like to have a drink together?"

Ling Mo put her hand back on the exquisite wine glass, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes: "I've already had a drink with my friends, so let's forget it now."

Seeing this, Xu Yanqing stopped forcing herself and went straight to the point with a playful smile on her face: "When did Madam Fu become interested in court disputes? This is unlike you in the past."

Ling Mo looked sideways at Zheng Jiaxuan, her tone relaxed but with a hint of teasing: "It's not that I care about these things, it's just that this servant is curious about Zeng Mao's affairs."

Zheng Jiaxuan remained calm and answered frankly: "I have been paying close attention to Zeng Mao these past two days, and I accidentally discovered that you, Lord Xu, seem to be quite concerned about him as well."

Xu Yanqing's thoughts were exposed, and he smiled awkwardly, then he became suspicious: "What's the meaning behind your investigation of Zeng Mao?"

Zheng Jiaxuan's tone was even more stern: "Master Xu should have heard something about Wang Ye's case, right?"

Once these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into calm water, causing ripples.

Xu Yanqing suddenly recalled some forgotten details: "You...you are the young man who forced Prime Minister Fu to reveal the true identity of Prefect Wang Ye?"

Ling Mohui heard this, and her eyes also flashed with disbelief. She looked at Zheng Jiaxuan with new eyes: "So you have such a reputation outside?"

Zheng Jiaxuan did not respond, but chose to remain silent.

On the contrary, Xu Yanqing's attitude towards Ling Mohui has changed subtly: "Young Madam is indeed surrounded by a lot of hidden talents, she is not simple. Such a layout is not something that a delicate woman who never leaves her house can do."

Ling Mohui smiled slightly, and said in a steady tone: "Master Xu, you are too kind. Since our goals coincide, why don't we share resources and work together?"

Xu Yanqing sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zeng Mao acts cautiously. We only know that there are powerful forces behind him, but the real operator has never appeared, so the clues are really limited."

"Actually, I have a key piece of information. I heard that there is a martial arts expert next to Zeng Mao?" Zheng Jiaxuan threw out the lead at the right time.

"Are you talking about Lu Fei?" Xu Yanqing's eyes flashed with excitement.

Zheng Jiaxuan smiled coldly: "Yes, it is this person. He was once Wang Ye's confidant. After his master fell, he defected to Zeng Mao."

After exchanging information, the two were about to leave Yuexuan Tower.

However, when he walked outside the door, Xu Yanqing suddenly stopped and looked at Ling Mohui with complicated eyes, as if he had a thousand words stuck in his throat, "About the Third Miss... do you want to ask something?"

As the second male villain in the novel, the person Xu Yanqing cares most about is undoubtedly the gentle and graceful woman like Zhiyun - Ling Zhiyun.

The secret deep in his heart was touched upon so keenly that a slightly shy smile appeared on his face.

"How is the third young lady these days?" Xu Yanqing's question was mixed with cautious expectation and uneasiness, as if every word was carefully chosen.

When Ling Mohui heard this, her eyes flickered slightly and her thoughts were in a mess for a moment.

She knew very well that this was a difficult problem. She had to save Xu Yanqing's face while making him understand what Ling Zhiyun wanted.

If your words are too direct, you might hurt the sensitive self-esteem of the person in front of you; and if they are too tactful, he might be tempted to take chances and find it difficult to let go.

So, she suddenly had an idea and suggested: "Why don't we go out for a walk and talk while walking."

This would give her time to organize the difficult words, while also being a polite way of avoiding the question.

Out of respect for Ling Mohui, Xu Yanqing nodded slightly in agreement, and the two of them slowly walked into the night.

Just as Ling Mohui was about to say something, Xu Yanqing suddenly interrupted her, his eyes penetrating the night and fixed on a point not far away.

Ling Zhiyun and Fu Yansheng walked side by side. The moonlight was like a silk thread, casting a layer of dreamy silver glow on the couple. The tacit understanding and harmony between the two made them seem like a perfect match, which was extremely enviable.

This unexpected encounter made Ling Mohui feel as if she had become redundant.

She sighed inwardly. The date had to be in such a busy neighborhood. The awkwardness of the chance encounter instantly spread.

Fu Yansheng's cold voice penetrated the night, and even from a distance, people could feel a chill.
