The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

"Then what should we do?"

Lin Wanqing asked.

"Let's wait and see what happens."

Lu Shengyuan pondered for a moment and said, "We must act carefully and not let them realize our intentions."

"Well, I see."

Lin Wanqing nodded and said, "I will be careful."

"Okay, then let's split up."

Lu Shengyuan said, standing up, "I'll go investigate the clues about the masked man, you go buy some herbs, and we'll meet up tonight."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing also stood up and said, "Then be careful."

"Don't worry, I will."

Lu Shengyuan said this and turned and walked out of the inn.

Looking at Lu Shengyuan's departing back, Lin Wanqing couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She knew that Lu Shengyuan was an extremely principled man. Since he had decided to investigate the matter, he would definitely get to the bottom of it.

I just hope they can get through this crisis safely.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the herbal medicine shop.

As she walked, she was thinking about her next plan in her mind.

She knew that this matter was not simple, and she had to act carefully and not cause trouble for Lu Shengyuan.

Soon, Lin Wanqing arrived at the herbal medicine shop.

She walked into the herbal medicine shop and looked around. She found that the owner of the shop was sitting leisurely on a chair, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand and fanning himself gently.

"Boss, give me some herbs."

Lin Wanqing stepped forward and said.

"Okay, what medicinal herbs does the girl want?"

Upon hearing this, the boss quickly stood up and asked.

"I want some angelica, wolfberry, and coptis root."

Lin Wanqing said this and handed the prescription in his hand to the boss.

The boss took the prescription, took a look at it, then turned and walked to the medicine cabinet and started getting the medicine.

While the boss was preparing the medicine, Lin Wanqing looked around and observed the situation in the medicine shop.

She found that the herbal medicine shop was doing good business, with many customers coming and going.

Moreover, these guests looked normal and there was nothing suspicious about them.

However, Lin Wanqing knew that the more this happened, the more he couldn't take it lightly.

After all, the fact that the masked man was able to hire a killer to assassinate them shows that he is an extremely cunning person.

Such people are likely to disguise themselves as ordinary people and secretly observe their every move.

Therefore, she must remain vigilant at all times and not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage.

After a while, the boss prepared the medicine and handed it to Lin Wanqing.

"Girl, all the herbs you want are here."

"thank you boss."

Lin Wanqing took the herbs, paid for them, then turned and walked out of the herb shop.

As she walked, she was thinking about her next plan in her mind.

She knew that things were far from over and she had to handle it carefully to survive this crisis.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and quickened his pace towards the inn.

After returning to the inn, Lin Wanqing placed the herbs on the table and sat aside waiting for Lu Shengyuan to come back.

As she waited, she was thinking about her next plan in her mind.

She knew that Lu Shengyuan might be in danger when he went to investigate the clues of the masked man, so she had to be prepared and support him at any time.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye it was evening.

Lu Shengyuan hasn't come back yet, and Lin Wanqing can't help but feel a little worried.

She knew that Lu Shengyuan was an extremely cautious person, and if he hadn't discovered anything, he would have returned long ago.

He hasn't come back yet, so he might have run into some trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing could no longer sit still. She stood up and decided to go out to look for Lu Shengyuan.

As soon as she walked out of the inn, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her from not far away.

"Lu Shengyuan!"

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing hurried forward and asked, "Why are you back so late? Did you run into any trouble?"

"It's nothing. I just went to investigate the clues about the masked man."

Lu Shengyuan shook his head, "But, there is nothing to find."

"It's okay, we can check it slowly."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay."

"Well, let's go back."

Lu Shengyuan nodded, turned and walked towards the inn.

After returning to the inn, the two sat at the table and began to discuss their next plan.

"Lu Shengyuan, what do you think we should do next?"

Lin Wanqing asked first.

"I think we can start with the killer."

Lu Shengyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Although we let the killer go, he will definitely contact the masked man. We can secretly follow him and see if we can find the masked man's hiding place."

"good idea."

Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then when do we take action?"

"Without further ado, let's set off now."

Lu Shengyuan said, standing up, "The killer shouldn't have gone far. If we chase him now, we should still have time."

"Okay." Lin Wanqing also stood up, and the two of them quickly left the inn to track down the mysterious killer.

They followed the street for a long way and finally found the killer in a remote alley.

They followed quietly until they arrived at an abandoned house.

The killer looked around and after making sure that no one was following him, he slipped into the house.

Lu Shengyuan and Lin Wanqing looked at each other and quietly approached the house.

When they arrived at the door of the house, they heard a low conversation coming from inside.

They approached the door and listened.

"How did things go today?" a dull voice sounded.

"Don't worry, I succeeded." The killer's voice sounded, "However, that man's skills are truly unfathomable. I almost didn't make it back."

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan were shocked when they heard this.

They knew that the "man" the killer was referring to was Lu Shengyuan.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you succeed." The dull voice continued, "Remember, your target is two people, not just one. Only by killing them both can you get the remaining money."

"Who are the remaining ones?" asked the killer.

"It's the woman who carried out the mission with you." The voice said coldly, "Someone paid you to kill them both."

"What?" The killer was surprised. "Why? Aren't we only responsible for killing that man?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" The voice sounded impatient. "Just take the money and do the job. Why are you asking so many questions?"

"But..." The killer wanted to say something but was interrupted by the voice.

"But what? Don't you want the money?" The voice sneered, "I'm telling you, if you don't kill them both, you won't get a penny of the remaining money."
