"Sister, why is he here?"
Su Chengnan had no idea why, but she made a quick decision that both of them could not be caught at the same time.
"Go back and tell him the news. I'll stay and hold him back."
"No! I..."
But before Su Linhua could finish her words, Su Chengnan pushed her into the alley. The two looked at each other, and she had to stomp her feet and turn around.
"Sister, I'm going to find Lu Chaofeng!"
"Ah."
Su Chengnan nodded calmly and immediately squatted down next to the noodle stall, continuing to observe under the cover of tables, chairs and benches.
Commander Zhan was not wearing armor today, but a low-key brocade robe. It was thanks to his full beard that she was able to spot him at a glance.
Su Chengnan had made up her mind. Even if the other party really recognized her, she would deny it to the death and make a big deal out of it to delay time.
"Girl? You..."
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing how beautiful she was, many of the diners around her took the initiative to ask her about her beauty, even though her behavior was unusual. They wanted to show their hospitality.
Su Chengnan was worried that these people's onlookers would attract the attention of Commander Zhan, so he quickly shook his head, stood up, sat down with his back to the street, and waved to the stall owner, "Boss, give me a bowl of noodles!"
"Okay." The boss was naturally happy to have business.
"Girl, my puff pastry dumplings are pretty good too. Would you like some?"
"no need."
She didn't dare speak loudly, and could only lower her head lower and lower, using her peripheral vision to observe the movements behind her, fearing that Commander Zhan would suddenly appear and capture her.
"Boss!"
"We've made a discovery!"
Su Chengnan's heart tightened when he heard this, and the blood in his body almost froze.
"how?"
"The person has appeared in Fuping Alley. Other people are being investigated one by one. I believe there will be results soon."
Fuping Alley?
Su Chengnan quietly shifted her cloak, trying to cover the gifts at her feet. These two boxes of snacks were what she had just bought while queuing in Fuping Alley.
When did these people discover it? They were able to track it all the way from the capital to Los Angeles with such precision.
"Keep looking!"
"Even if I have to turn Los Angeles upside down, I will find you!"
"Yes! I take my orders."
After they finished talking, Commander Zhan suddenly looked over here. Su Chengnan quickly turned around and pretended to stroke his hair.
"What are you looking at? Mind your own business."
Commander Zhan's loud, rough voice echoed, his usual harsh attitude. After being yelled at, the others all averted their gazes, lowered their heads to eat their noodles, and showed no intention of retorting or resisting.
Fortunately, he didn't stay long and left in a hurry after saying that.
"Girl, your face is ready."
"Be careful, it's hot."
Su Chengnan didn't dare to say thank you, he just looked up and smiled.
She waited for a while, until she felt no unusual movement behind her, then she mustered up the courage to turn back. She strained her neck to look around, and finally spotted his back as he was about to turn the corner at the end of the street.
Phew~that was close.
What did he just say?
Sir? What sir?
Su Chengnan shook his head. Never mind! As long as they weren't here to arrest him, it would be fine.
She was worried about Su Linhua and was also afraid that the house would be in chaos, so she picked up her things and stood up to leave.
He had just taken two steps when someone caught up with him.
"Girl, even if you don't eat a single bite of this noodle, you still have to pay!"
"It's cheap, only five cents."
The stall owner was a little old man. Although he looked a little unhappy, he was still polite in his words.
The man who had just been sitting at the same table with me interrupted and said, "You old waiter are so clueless! It's only five cents. What a big deal it is for the girl."
"That's right! Our young master is very rich."
Su Chengnan glanced at him and saw that he was wearing a dark-colored robe with thick gold patterns. The jade pendant hanging around his waist was warm and translucent in color. It was obvious that he was a wealthy young man of some status.
She didn't have time to pay attention to him, and turned to the stall owner and said, "I'm sorry, stall owner. I forgot about it."
"I'll give you the money right away."
She took out her purse and rummaged through it. She had no copper coins, so she simply took out a piece of silver and handed it over.
The stall owner was an honest man. He was frightened and refused to accept the money.
"Miss, you can't do that. With your money, you can buy out my entire stall."
"I'm in a good mood today, and I want to thank you." Su Chengnan smiled and stuffed the silver into his hand.
"This..." He looked hesitant.
"That's it! I'll treat everyone to noodles, and you can cook a few more bowls and give some to the children. I feel so sorry for them."
Su Chengnan pointed at the little beggars huddled on the street. It was clearly the season to wear padded clothes, but they were only wearing tattered clothes.
The stall owner's eyes lit up and he readily agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll go cook it now."
"Uh-huh."
Su Chengnan didn't dare to stay long and turned around to leave.
But the rich young man just now raised his hand to block her way.
"The girl has a good heart."
"Would you be so kind as to have a cup of tea with me?"
Su Chengnan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Get out of the way."
The other party didn't expect that her attitude would change so suddenly. She was very warm just now, but in the blink of an eye she became cold and ruthless, like an iceberg.
"Do you know who our young master is?"
"The young master invites you to tea, which shows that he thinks highly of you. You must not miss the opportunity."
"How dare you! Who told you to speak to a beauty like that? Back off!"
"Yes, Master."
The attendant lowered his head and retreated, but the young master who looked like a dandy came over. He stared at Su Chengnan's face carefully and suddenly said:
"Girl, I think I've seen you..."
"You look like an old friend of mine..."
Su Chengnan sneered. This way of chatting up someone was really old-fashioned.
She couldn't believe she was so unlucky. She had just run into the Empress Dowager's people, and then turned around and ran into another young man from a noble family in the capital. If he was really from the capital, it wouldn't be a problem. Her original body rarely left the house, even rarely leaving her boudoir, so she definitely had never seen him.
"Sir, please respect yourself and don't do anything that would humiliate your status."
"I really think you look a lot like..."
"I am from the Ningyuan Palace. Please let me go, sir."
Su Chengnan frowned and didn't want to waste any more time talking to him. She had no choice but to use the name of Ningyuan Palace to bully others. She didn't believe that there were no spies of Lu Chaofeng nearby.
But the other party paused and his face changed drastically!
"Huh? Ningyuan Palace?"
"Someone come! Tie him up for me!"
"I want to see what Lu Chaofeng can do to me!"
Su Chengnan was surprised. He didn't expect that this person would have a grudge against Lu Chaofeng? !
She hurriedly took two steps back, trying to leave but was surrounded by the other party's men. She was almost going crazy. What kind of immortal had she offended today? Why was everything so unlucky?
"Who the hell are you? How dare you disrespect our prince!"
"Our prince is the cousin of the current emperor. What exactly do you mean by disregarding the Ningyuan Palace?"
Now that she had already said it, she could only continue to hold on. With one big hat after another being thrown at her, the other party would always be afraid.
"Stop talking this nonsense!"
"Since you are the woman Lu Chaofeng keeps by his side, you don't deserve to resemble my aunt."
Wait?! Aunt?
Who is he?
