Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

The Li family recently recruited a group of new guards.

The treatment of aristocratic families has always been generous, and this is well known throughout Xuanzhou.

So as soon as the news came out, many martial artists came to apply for the job.

After a simple assessment, fifty martial artists stood out and officially became the new guards of the Li family.

These new guards had just arrived and were full of curiosity and awe about everything about the Li family.

The Li family mansion covers a vast area, and each area requires a dedicated person to be on duty.

At this time, in the entrance square of the Li family, fifty new guards were lined up in an orderly manner. Men and women were wearing the same uniform. They were all energetic, serious but with a hint of expectation, waiting for the next arrangements.

The deputy captain of the guard swept his eyes over everyone and began to assign tasks, namely, each person would be responsible for guarding a specific area.

"Divide into ten groups of five. The first group is responsible for patrolling the front yard; the second group is responsible for guarding the side door; the third group..."

Just when he was halfway through his speech, a clear female voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Deputy Captain Wei, excuse me."

Wei Feng turned around and saw a man and a woman standing behind him.

The man had a baby face, but his expression was extremely serious, as if it said "Keep Away"; the woman wore a pair of delicate gold-rimmed glasses and had a gentle demeanor.

These two people are Hua Chaochao and Yi Mu after they disguised themselves.

Wei Feng hurriedly said to Hua Chaochao, "Miss Ye, do you have any instructions?" His tone was full of respect.

Hua Chaochao smiled and said, "Nothing, I just saw you arranging people here, so I came over to tell you that I don't need to arrange anyone on my side."

Wei Feng was startled, then said: "Miss Ye, this is probably inappropriate. Your safety is also of vital importance."

Hua Chaochao smiled and said, "Deputy Captain Wei is really prepared for danger. What danger could there be for me in the Li family?"

Wei Feng hesitated, but finally replied, "Yes, Miss Ye."

"Then Deputy Captain Wei, please continue with your arrangements. I won't bother you any more." Hua Chaochao said, turned around and left.

Before Yi Mu caught up, he glanced at the newly recruited guard.

Only after watching Hua Chaochao leave did Wei Feng turn around and face his subordinates again to continue arranging work.

At this time, a guard couldn't help but ask, "Deputy Captain, what is the identity of Miss Ye just now?"

The guard who spoke saw that Wei Feng was very respectful to Hua Chaochao, so he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

He could understand being respectful to Miss Li, but Miss Ye...

When did a Miss Ye appear in the Li family?

And it seems that his status is not low, otherwise Wei Feng would not be so cautious.

You know, Wei Feng is the deputy captain of the Li family guard team. He is a serious and rigid person who always keeps his word. To make him treat her so cautiously, Miss Ye's identity must be no simple one.

Wei Feng glanced sharply at the new guard who had asked the question rashly. The guard couldn't help but swallow his saliva under the experienced gaze and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

Then, Wei Feng explained in a steady but dignified tone: "Miss Ye is the assistant of the Hidden Web Master. She came here to discuss business with the clan leader. She is now staying at the Li family and is a distinguished guest of the Li family. When you meet her in the future, you must be respectful and must not be negligent in the slightest. Do you understand?"

Under normal circumstances, Wei Feng would have gotten angry and punished someone for asking questions without his permission.

He didn't punish them this time because he thought they were new and didn't know the rules. Besides, he should have made Miss Ye's identity clear to them to prevent these new guards from bumping into Miss Ye in the future.

The new guards heard the seriousness and warning in Wei Feng's tone, and responded in a serious tone: "Understood, Deputy Captain!"

Wei Feng nodded, and continued with the unfinished arrangements: "Group Six is ​​responsible for patrolling the East District..."

He spoke much faster than before, as if he was in a hurry to finish the arrangements and deal with other important matters.

Wei Feng did have one thing to do.

Just to report to Li Qingchi the request just made by Hua Chaochao.

Li Qingchi had once instructed their guards to inform him of all matters concerning Ye Xiao in a timely manner.

Wei Feng did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. After hastily arranging the tasks for the new guards, he went straight to Li Qingchi's study.

……

"Found?"

Walking out of the entrance square, Hua Chaochao suddenly stopped and asked.

Yi Mu knew she was asking him, and answered softly, "Yes, the third one in the second row."

Fifty guards stood neatly in five rows, and the person in the third position in the second row was Hua Xi.

In order to investigate Li Qingchi, she put on a human skin mask to cover her face and infiltrated the Li family's newly recruited guard team.

Hua Chaochao turned to look at Yi Mu, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, "Want to help her?"

"No." Yi Mu replied quickly, as if to show his loyalty.

However, Hua Chaochao shook her head and said, "You can have it."

"After all, I don't want her to be exposed too quickly."

"But it's limited to helping her conceal her identity. As for the rest... you know what to do."

Yi Mu: “I understand.”

……

In the evening, the sky was tinged with a light orange-red.

Li Qingchi came to Hua Chaochao's yard alone.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Qingchi saw a person he had never seen before watering the flowers with a watering can.

Li Qingchi narrowed his eyes and stared at him, asking, "Who are you?"

Yi Mu ignored Li Qingchi, didn't even glance at him, and focused on watering the flowers, as if Li Qingchi didn't exist.

The flower he was watering was oleander, which Hua Chaochao had specifically ordered to be bought and planted.

The reason for planting oleander is simple: it looks beautiful but is poisonous.

Just like her.

Li Qingchi was somewhat displeased to see Yi Mu ignoring him, but considering that this was Ye Xiao's residence, he suppressed his anger and walked straight into the house.

Since Ye Yexiao is not in the yard, he must be inside the house.

Li Qingchi had confirmed it before he came, and Ye Xiao had not gone out since he came back today.

When he stepped into the house, he saw Hua Chaochao leaning quietly on the toffee chair with a book covering her face.

"What's the matter?" Hua Chaochao's lazy voice came from under the book.

Just as Li Qingchi was about to speak, Yi Mu walked in expressionlessly, picked up the kettle, and poured water into the empty cup on the table next to Hua Chaochao.

Li Qingchi's words were stuck in his throat. His face instantly turned gloomy and he stared at Yi Mu with an unfriendly look.

Yi Mu seemed unaware and after pouring the water, he stood quietly aside.
