The next day.

The sun was rising, the temperature was very high, and cicadas were chirping all over the city.

Guan Ning woke up, and the hangover gave him a splitting headache and dry mouth.

"Sister Yao!"

"Sister Yao!" he shouted.

But there was no response from the room for a long time until a glass of water was handed to Guan Ning.

Guan Ning took it in a daze, but in a trance, he did not see Qin Yao's concern, and the cup of water in his hand was picked up by someone with a sword.

His whole body exploded, his pupils dilated: "Who?!"

Guan Ning stood up suddenly and instantly entered a fighting state.

"It seems that Prince Guan is living in a comfortable life and has forgotten what he promised me." A cold but pleasant voice sounded.

I saw a woman wearing a conical hat, sitting there, with a long sword placed horizontally on the table. The light and shadow shone on her body through the window, giving her an ethereal air that was almost like that of a fairy.

"It's you!" Guan Ning shouted, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly cursing himself for being too careless. If it wasn't her, but some other enemy, wouldn't he have lost his life?

"I say, can you please appear more normal? Do you know that you can scare people to death like this?" He was in a bad mood and almost had a heart attack. He gulped down the water in his hand.

Lou Xinyue glanced at him from the side, and she looked so cold and elegant.

"I want to see if your people can find me."

"What's the result? Nothing?"

"It's not their fault. It's normal that they can't defend against me, but it's impossible for most masters to come in quietly." Lou Xinyue said calmly and gave a high evaluation.

Guan Ning knew not to blame his men. Lou Xinyue's level was indeed too high. She could even be ranked second on the assassin list. There were only a handful of such people in the entire Central Plains. He smiled and said, "You are quite considerate."

Lou Xinyue said calmly, "I don't have time to be playful with you."

"Two days have passed. There are still twenty-eight days left. When will you start?" She went straight to the point.

Guan Ning curled his lips: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Besides, can't you be a little nicer when asking someone for a favor? You're being so cold and mean, making it seem like I owe you eight million gold."

Lou Xinyue was impatient and her eyes were still cold.

Guan Ning was speechless. This woman was like ice. It was a pity for her beautiful face.

Snapped!

He suddenly took out the file and threw it on the table.

"What is this?" Lou Xinyue asked.

"The confidential files of Chang Shoufang's case." Guan Ning said.

Lou Xinyue was slightly surprised when she heard this, and her eyes, which were filled with frost and impatience, relaxed, and then showed a hint of apology.

"Have you started investigating?"

"What else? I, Guan Ning, am a man of my words. I got so drunk just for this file, you know? You owe me a favor." Guan Ning said seriously.

Lou Xinyue also knew that she had misunderstood Guan Ning and picked up the file: "Sorry."

She spoke very little, and even when she said sorry, it was cold and frosty, as if she was the same to everyone.

Guan Ning grinned: "That's more like it."

"Open it and take a look. This prince hasn't had the chance to look at it yet. Starting from here, there should be a clue."

Lou Xinyue couldn't help it and was about to open it.

But at this moment, snap!

Qin Yao was wearing a lavender long dress and walked in gracefully, holding a chopping board in her hand.

When she saw the two of them, she was stunned. Why were there strangers in the backyard?

"You're awake, she... is?"

Guan Ning immediately stepped forward to explain to avoid misunderstanding. Qin Yao was busy for him all night last night. Although they failed to have sex, they only lacked that little bit of window paper. Everything else was basically done.

He placed a hand affectionately behind her back and said, "Her name is Lou Xinyue, she's a friend, and I'm discussing some business with her."

Hearing this, Qin Yao didn't ask any more questions, but just took another look at Lou Xinyue. As a woman, she could feel that Lou Xinyue was definitely a great beauty. Even though her face was covered by the hat, her temperament and figure could not be concealed after all.

This made her feel an inexplicable sense of crisis, but she still invited him.

"Since you are a guest, why don't you dine with us?"
