"You..." Li Xinglan had thought of thousands of ways to escape, but Su Su's trick was unheard of.

"What a talent!" Not knowing what to say, he could only give Su Su a thumbs-up. "I admire you from the bottom of my heart, Wang Xiaocui."

Su Su's little face turned red, but fortunately her face was wrapped in gauze, so it was hardly noticeable.

She waved her hands, trying to save face: "Actually, I didn't poop. I held it in for a long time and only let out two farts. But Han Junyue didn't know. He thought I really pooped and was disgusted to the point of vomiting. Then he got furious and locked me in the water dungeon..."

After a few claps, Li Xinglan gave Su Su a thumbs-up again, then said with relief, "I'm glad I didn't touch you. Now pack up and run."

"Run away?"

Nodding, Li Xinglan dropped a bombshell, "Do you know the identity of this pervert Han Junyue?"

Seeing Shang Shiyu also looking at him, he slowly said: "Our Daqi's Sixth Prince."

Su Su's eyes widened. "What do you think that Lao Liu is?"

Prince?!

She suspected that God was playing a trick on her. She knew that the pervert must be extraordinary, but not so noble!

"Run! We must run! Let's run overnight!" Thinking of Han Junyue's look as if he wanted to eat her alive, Su Su couldn't help shivering and wanted to get out of bed immediately, pack up her things and run away.

"What about you?" Li Xinglan asked Shang Shiyu, "Are you coming with us?"

This is the signal to accept Ergou's return.

Su Su looked at Shang Shiyu nervously, praying that he would nod and say that they would go together.

However, things went against his wishes. Shang Shiyu hesitated for a moment and then shook his head slightly.

"No," he said.

Li Xinglan stood up and patted his shoulder. Looking at the boy in front of him who was not even as tall as his shoulders, he said sincerely, "If you don't want to go with us, I won't force you. This time, you risked being exposed to save Su Su again. I, Li Xinglan, owe you two life-saving favors. Live well, and come to me if you need me in the future."

"You don't owe me anything." Shang Shiyu raised his eyes, his ink-black eyes full of determination. Every time he did it was voluntary.

Not long after the reunion, the atmosphere of separation swept over again. Su Su looked at Shang Shiyu and couldn't understand why he was unwilling to go with them. It was really too dangerous to stay in the imperial city.

"If you want to stay in the Imperial City and continue investigating the truth, you'll definitely face many difficulties. If you need anything later, go to Bai Xiao Tang and find the green-faced, jade-toothed fellow. He'll tell you how to find me." After saying that, Li Xinglan handed Shang Shiyu another sachet. "There are two treasure troves written inside. They're yours."

Seeing that Shang Shiyu showed no intention of raising his hand to take it, Li Xinglan grabbed his hand and forced it in. "You have a long way to go, and you can't do without something to keep you company. This isn't for Shang Shiyu, it's for our Ergou."

Upon hearing this, Shang Shiyu's struggling hands paused, then gradually clenched. He looked at Li Xinglan gravely and said awkwardly, "Thank you..."

Ugh......

Looking at Shang Shiyu with a sincere face in front of him, and then turning around to see Su Su with red eyes, Li Xinglan felt a surge of bitterness in his heart for no reason.

"Uncle Chen is cooking in the kitchen. I'll go help him. You two can have a good talk." Not wanting to reveal his emotions too much, Li Xinglan turned his head away and walked out of the house.

But after he left, the other two didn't speak for a long time.

In the end, it was Shang Shiyu who broke the silence and spoke first. He said, "I will come to see you when I have the chance."

Su Su bit her lip, tears in the corners of her eyes, and looked at him aggrievedly.

She wanted to persuade him to go with her. The imperial city was too dangerous. In order to save her, she had offended the prince. She wanted to say that she would stay in Qingshanzai, but she couldn't say anything.

How could she persuade Ergou to escape when he suffered the injustice he suffered as a merchant and carried a deep hatred behind him?

Enduring the pain, Su Su climbed up from the bed with a trembling face. Under Shang Shiyu's puzzled gaze, she touched here and there, rummaging through the drawers.

After a while, she stood in front of Shang Shiyu, holding a handful of banknotes in her hand and a precious jewelry box that she cherished and wiped twice every day.

Brother Gou is right, you can’t do this without some financial support!

She stuffed all the things into Shang Shiyu's arms. Seeing that he was about to refuse, she quickly said in a muffled voice: "Brother Gou said that the Shang family has been loyal and brave for generations, and our Ergou is the son of a great hero! This is what I lent you to redress your grievances. You have to pay me back when you succeed. You can't just refuse to pay me!"

It would be a lie to say that I'm not moved. Both Li Xinglan and Su Su are extremely greedy for money. It's rare that they would sacrifice so much for him.

No longer refusing, Shang Shiyu accepted it and nodded, saying solemnly: "I will definitely return it."

"If I become a big shot, I'll have to pay interest." Su Su turned her head away. Why did she want to cry so much?

"Okay." Shang Shiyu looked at Su Su quietly, as if he wanted to remember her appearance firmly in his mind.

He swore in his heart that if that day ever comes, he would give you whatever he wanted and whatever he had.

The dinner was exceptionally luxurious, featuring all of Blind Chen's specialties, and to Su Su's surprise, Wang Ma and Shen Huan were also there.

After everyone was seated, Li Xinglan raised his glass and said to everyone, "No matter what, meeting is fate. After this meal, we will go our separate ways."

Perhaps Li Xinglan had discussed this with Blind Chen beforehand, so he didn't seem surprised. He was the first to raise his glass, and all he could say was just one word, "Ergou, take care."

Shen Huan's eyes were red. She knew that Li Xinglan would not take her with her when they went their separate ways. After this separation, they might not see each other again.

Shen Huan held up the cup, his eyes a little dull.

Aunt Wang was the most open-minded among all the people, and she even felt relieved as she picked up the wine glass.

I was also worried that Li Xinglan wouldn't let Shen Lin go after this. From the sound of it, they were planning to leave Jingyun City. Great! Great!

"Ergou, you promised to come find us." Su Su was sitting next to Shang Shiyu, and her voice was tinged with tears.

Seeing Shang Shiyu nodded, she slowly raised her glass.

"Ding--" the sound of clinking glasses was heard.

"Bang!" Then came the sound of the screen being kicked open with great force.

Li Xinglan and Shang Shiyu reacted very quickly, and they protected Su Su behind them, one in front and one behind.

Two men in black jumped in from the window, and the door was surrounded by dozens of men in black. They had their faces masked, but the murderous intent in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

Glancing at the still-dark sky, Blind Chen hid behind Wang Ma, trembling and cursing, "That's too much! Killing people before the moon is even dark and the wind is high!"
