Xie Moxuan lowered his eyes, and the scene at that time involuntarily emerged in his mind. When he met her gaze, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

He was very sure that the two had never had any contact before.

Feiying suddenly thought of something, "Master, there is something very strange about Miss Shen and Miss Pei. According to the information I have received, they had no contact before the incident."

After Miss Pei moved out of the Marquis' Mansion seven years ago, she never set foot in the capital again and had no chance to come into contact with Miss Shen.

Even if Miss Shen occasionally went out by boat, she would only go along the river. There was no dock near the country farm, and the boat would never dock.

Gu Beichen's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Xie Moxuan's expression kept changing. When he found them in the shallows, their bodies were very close to each other and holding hands. It was definitely not as outsiders saw that there was no connection between them.

Besides, he had just seen how the two of them interacted, and it was clear that they were sisters with a very good relationship.

One was the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other was the daughter of the Marquis of Cheng'en. They were discovered at the same time on their way back to Shangjing. It would be a bit far-fetched to say that it was a coincidence.

The only possibility is that the King of Qin’s whereabouts have been leaked again!

Thinking of this, Xie Moxuan said anxiously, "Moxuan is willing to guarantee with his life that my cousin will be fine!"

Gu Beichen stared at Xie Moxuan, his eyes dark and unclear.

When they returned victorious, they chose to separate from the main force, and their whereabouts were exposed and they were ambushed. He simply took advantage of the situation and had people spread the news that he had died in the ambush.

In order to catch the big fish behind the scenes and make the play more realistic, people were specially arranged to escort the coffin all the way back to Beijing.

The development of the matter did not disappoint him. The fish took the bait, and the interested person was eager to arrange a ghost marriage for him.

However, what he never expected was that the person he was arranged to marry in the afterlife was Pei Wanwan.

He and Xie Moxuan were as close as brothers, and he knew how important Pei Wanwan was to Xie Moxuan. Naturally, he would not joke with her life. He immediately changed his plan and took a boat back to Beijing in advance.

Just as the group set out by water, news came that Pei Wanwan had jumped into the river. When they received the news, three days and two nights had passed since the incident.

They slowed down as they headed north, spending more time salvaging floating corpses along the way.

Fortunately, Pei Wanwan was still breathing when he was found, otherwise he would not know how to face and comfort his good brother.

When Pei Wanwan was rescued and brought aboard, Shen Wanwan was also brought aboard.

When Gu Beichen saw Shen Wanwan's face clearly, his eyes suddenly narrowed. It was her!

Shen Wanwan and Pei Wanwan soaked in the water for several days, and their bodies became swollen. Even their family members might not be able to recognize them at a glance.

Gu Beichen recognized her as Shen Wanwan, the daughter of the prime minister, at a glance!

His eyes fell on the festering wound on her chest, and his rage almost burst out. He immediately ordered Feiying to stop the work at hand and personally investigate the news about Shen Wanwan.

Flying Eagle is the leader of the intelligence team and is currently carrying out a very important mission.

He was obviously stunned when he received the new task from his master, but he did not dare to delay for a moment. He temporarily put down the work at hand, went to check Shen Wanwan's news in person, and then rushed to report.

After a while, Gu Beichen said, "Let the ship take a detour and continue to postpone the date of arrival in Shangjing City."

Xie Moxuan was shocked, "But..."

Gu Beichen waved his hand, "Don't forget, we have been planning this for many years."

Xie Moxuan no longer insisted. They had too much on their shoulders and the net was about to close. They could not take a wrong step, otherwise they would be doomed!

Delaying the return to Beijing will indeed have an impact on what is being planned, but it is a more cautious step.

He glanced at the other person. Perhaps, the real purpose of his doing this was to protect Miss Shen?

She was lucky, after all.

However, the wound on her chest hit her heart, and she had been soaked in water for five or six days. An ordinary person would have died long ago, but she miraculously survived.

This matter is weird no matter how you look at it.

"What did your little cousin say about why she jumped into the river?"
