After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Song Yanchen's lips were pursed into a straight line. Having worked with this mysterious figure from the frontier for so long, he knew too well the other's greedy character, who always sought more inadvertently.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger surging in his chest.

If the current situation did not require the help of this man, this unscrupulous attitude would never have lasted even a moment in front of him!

"Tell me!" Song Yanchen almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word.

Not long ago, he realized that Song Yanyi had secretly sent people to monitor him. He absolutely could not let Song Yanyi's people discover his connection with the border forces. That would be tantamount to exposing his weaknesses to the enemy and becoming a sharp blade in Song Yanyi's hands!

"I heard that Cui Min is searching for me everywhere in the city. Although I am not afraid of his pursuit, this gives me a good opportunity to get rid of him." The masked man spoke in a calm tone, but revealed a chill.

At one side, Cui Rong, who was hiding in the shadows, clenched her fingers involuntarily and accidentally touched the emerald green potted plant beside her. The subtle sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

"Who's there?" The masked man keenly noticed the unusual movement, and there was a hint of vigilance in his voice.

Cui Rong's face turned grim, and the thought of escaping flashed through her mind, but the footsteps of the masked man were approaching, and trying to escape at this moment would only expose herself.

She had never had a head-on confrontation with this masked man, and his strength was unfathomable. If this man had extraordinary martial arts skills, she would be doomed.

Just as Cui Rongrong was thinking about it, a strong hand covered her mouth and nose from behind. The movement was quick but unexpectedly gentle.

"Shh——" Wen Yinyang's low and familiar voice came to her ears. This simple voice made Cui Rongrong's tense body gradually relax.

Then, a faint sound imitating a cat's meow was heard, and then the hand let go of her and the figure quietly left.

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, it was just a wild cat that ran by just now. I have driven it away and it will not disturb your conversation anymore." Wen Yinyang's voice was calm and composed.

The masked man looked at Wen Yinyang with a cold gaze, his eyes flashing with danger, "You said it was a wild cat, why didn't I hear it running away?"

Cui Rong's heart tightened, and her fingers secretly clenched the poison in her sleeve. Once her identity was exposed, she would not hesitate to sprinkle the poison powder on the masked man, even if it meant destroying herself and the masked man.

However, Wen Yinyang remained calm and answered flawlessly: "Wild cats are agile and it is common for them to land silently."

The masked man seemed satisfied with Wen Yinyang's answer, or he had other plans. There was a hint of amusement in his scrutinizing eyes. Then he retracted his gaze and turned back to Song Yanchen.

"It's late at night, Lord Xiao Wen should go back and rest early." There was a hint of alienation in Song Yanchen's words.

"Yes, sir." Wen Yinyang responded, turned and left, signaling Cui Rongrong to follow him out of the corner of his eye, carefully avoiding attracting the attention of the masked man.

Cui Rongrong went with the flow and left Song Yanchen's residence tacitly with Wen Yinyang.

The two used their familiarity with the terrain to cleverly avoid the patrolling guards and quietly slipped out of the palace until they turned into a remote alley. After confirming that no one was following them, Wen Yinyang looked at Cui Rongrong seriously, "It is too risky for you to sneak into the palace privately. If you are discovered by the Sixth Prince or the masked man, how can you protect yourself?"

"Ms. Cui, if you have any needs, please let me know. I will never refuse as long as I can help." Wen Yinyang's words were full of sincerity.

Cui Rongrong looked at Wen Yinyang with a firm gaze, "In that case, I won't beat around the bush. Was that person really a visitor from the border?"

"The border is full of wind and sand. Even if you speak Chinese fluently, you can't avoid some local accents. I can recognize it as soon as I hear it." Wen Yinyang explained, revealing a hint of regret in his words.

After all, that person came with important military intelligence, and she failed to notice the abnormality early on, which was really careless.

Cui Rongrong collected her scattered thoughts, looked up, and met Wen Yinyang's eyes. After a brief hesitation, he finally nodded, confirming her guess.

"No wonder Master Wen reminded me to pay attention to the situation around my father." There was a hint of coldness in Cui Rong's voice.

Wen Yinyang looked at her solemnly, "This matter is directly related to General Cui's safety. If I were to ask Miss Cui to stay calm, it would seem too cold. But in order to ensure the general's safety, Miss Cui must remain calm and keep a stable mentality."

"That person's motives are not pure, and it is still unclear when and how he will act. However, I will do my best to collect intelligence for Miss Cui, and I will inform you as soon as there is any new progress."

Cui Rong lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Master Wen. I will always remember your help."

How could she not understand the profound meaning of Wen Yinyang's earnest reminder?

However, once Cui Min was involved, the anxiety and worry from the bottom of his heart became difficult to suppress.

She forced herself to suppress the emotions surging in her chest, had a brief but meaningful conversation with Wen Yinyang, and then turned away resolutely.

She knew very well that prevention was always better than cure, and she couldn't just rely on Wen Yinyang's help, she had to take the initiative herself.

So, she took firm steps towards the place that was rumored to be the most well-informed - Luoxian Tower.

Behind her, Wen Yinyang's gaze gradually lengthened along with her back, and complex emotions flashed across his deep eyes, as if there were thousands of words to say, but in the end it only turned into a silent sigh.

Under the cover of night, the Luoxian Tower is as bright as day with melodious music playing, as if it is the entrance to another world.

Cui Rong used a little trick, changed into an inconspicuous outfit, and walked in quietly.

The waiter was very observant and could guess the identity of the visitor just by her unique temperament and subtle manners, even though she hadn't spoken.

In this industry, remembering every face that may lead to a deal is a basic rule of survival.

In the intelligence trading world, if one lacks the ability to read people's expressions, how can one survive in this turbulent world?

"Dear guest, please follow me upstairs. The owner is looking forward to your visit." The waiter led the way respectfully.

Cui Rongrong nodded slightly and followed gracefully.

When he got upstairs, a look of surprise flashed across Jiang Zhen's face. He seemed not to have expected this mysterious visitor to appear at this moment, and he had not thought that the other party's true identity was the daughter of the Cui family.

"I didn't expect that you would choose to visit me at this time. Perhaps, I should just call you Miss Cui?" There was a hint of amusement in his voice.

Cui Rong seemed unusually calm about having her identity easily discovered. She calmly sat down at the table, while Jiang Zhen gestured for his men to retreat, leaving only the two of them sitting opposite each other.
