After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

"Yes, yes..."

Chen Zijin replied tremblingly.

Upon hearing this, Pei Yun's expression unconsciously turned stern. He said, "Have you noticed anything, or seen any strange people? Have you seen a child that tall...?"

A barrage of questions came crashing down on Chen Zijin, making her feel frightened.

Xiao Ran noticed this and gently stroked the back of her hand in a comforting manner.

Then, turning to Pei Shaoqing, who was chattering incessantly to the side, he said:

"Pei Shaoqing".

Pei Yun was taken aback, then realized she had said too much.

But he was really anxious, after all, the case had been going on for more than ten days, and the child's whereabouts and safety were still unknown!

Seeing the frightened look on the girl in white, he sighed deeply.

"That's all."

He actually expected to solve the case with a young woman who hadn't even reached marriageable age.

Chen Zijin hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The two fell into silence.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran pulled Duan Li aside and broke the silence: "Young Master Pei, you've come at the right time. Duan Li and I just came up with an idea." Then, she told Pei Shaoqing about her idea in detail.

"You mean, that woman deliberately placed that headband there?" Pei Shaoqing frowned slightly, pondering carefully. "That is indeed possible."

"Has Pei Shaoqing examined that forehead ribbon closely?" Xiao Ran asked earnestly.

Pei Yun remembered that he had only learned about the case from his subordinates a few days ago and hadn't had time to examine the evidence in detail, so he said, "...No."

Xiao Ran said with some regret, "Then the lead has probably gone cold."

No... there's one more person.

He suddenly recalled that the clerk Jiang had slowly recounted the case to him that day, and it seemed that he had also mentioned the unusual nature of the forehead band.

“I will summon him now.” Pei Yun whistled towards the sky.

Soon after, a black eagle flew in.

The black eagle's feathers are jet black, with a dark green tinge to its tail. They gleam with a metallic sheen in the sunlight, their feathers tightly packed like armor, giving it a mysterious and dignified appearance.

Pei Shaoqing whispered something to it, and the black eagle flapped its wings and flew away.

……

Before long, a person arrived at the door of the abandoned hut and gently knocked on the door.

Pei Yun slowly put down the old porcelain bowl in her hand, her gaze passing over Xiao Ran sitting on the wooden table in the room and Chen Zijin talking beside her, before walking straight to the door and opening it.

"Greetings, Pei Shaoqing." Jiang Shaorong's clear voice rang out.

Xiao Ran was startled and quickly looked towards the door. This sudden action filled Chen Zijin, who was talking to her, with doubt.

Looking past Pei Yun, she saw him dressed in a moon-white official robe, his figure as upright as a bamboo stalk. His face was handsome, his eyebrows like ink paintings, his eyes like bright stars, and his eyes seemed to hold a clear spring, flowing with a gentle light.

It seemed that Xiao Ran's gaze was too intense, and he was slightly taken aback after noticing it. Then, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Miss Xiao."

Pei Yun also turned his gaze to Xiao Ran and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

Jiang Shaorong smiled slightly, "I acknowledge..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ran suddenly jumped off the table, the heavy sound seemingly intentional, abruptly interrupting him.

"It's not just acquaintances, Jiang Lushi and I are mortal enemies."

Upon hearing this, Duan Li narrowed his eyes slightly and began to scrutinize the man at the door, secretly wondering if he could defeat him.

Pei Yun was slightly taken aback. In his mind, Jiang Shaorong had always been a gentle and refined person, while Miss Xiao was also a kind and righteous person. The two of them could be described as a perfect match.

...How could they become mortal enemies?
