SEC Chapter 505: Taking One Away
Chapter 505: Taking One Away
It turns out that he had disappeared for a while three years ago, and it wasn't difficult to find out when the Fan family searched extensively at that time.
However, Fan Zhe found it later, so not many people remember it.
"It was one person?"
"No, the two had quite a few differences in their habits at the beginning, but since their appearances and speaking habits were similar, we didn't investigate them too thoroughly."
I'm afraid that at that time they just wanted to bring the person back.
Lin Ru thought about the previous situation and a smile appeared on her lips.
"I'm afraid that at that time they just didn't want people to be left to wander, and once they found them, they wouldn't want them anymore."
"And the fact that he managed this place to such great success afterward makes it even more likely that we will not deny his abilities."
The guard didn't say anything, turned to look at the seat next to him, and sighed again.
"According to our investigation, they did not find it, perhaps because this person was too inconspicuous and no one remembered him."
"No matter what, this kind of thing is not safe. It would be good if we could get the person away."
But she's already being watched, so it might not be so easy for her to leave.
Lin Rusi pondered for a long time before finally looking at the guard beside her.
"Please speak, Madam."
"Go and send Changning back, and remember to make sure she is delivered to His Majesty in the palace."
After saying this, Lin Rusi ignored the gazes of others and took three steps at a time to pick up the child who was still in the room.
"Mother, why are you accusing me today?"
“That man is not safe. I don’t want you to get too close to him, so I had the guards find an excuse to bring you up here.”
Although Changning was young, he still seriously considered the reasons his mother gave.
She even tried to recall what the person from earlier looked like, her delicate brows furrowing once more.
"That person looked a bit strange. I felt his smile was odd, and the way he looked at me was a little scary."
"If you ever have this feeling again, have the guards take you away without any hesitation."
Changning stood there, stunned, looking at the spot next to her in confusion. After a long while, she carefully grabbed her mother's clothes.
"Mother, that would be dangerous. Father told me that."
Unexpectedly, the child said that, and he stood there stunned, once again blaming Li Jingyang for educating him in that way.
But she knew that this was because of Changning's status, so she could only raise her hand and rub the fluffy head.
"That's true, but now that you can take it with you, it's safer this way."
"It does require some maneuvering, but you can try to confuse that person more."
Changning looked completely bewildered, which made Lin Rusi even more worried. She lowered her head and left a kiss on the child's forehead.
"You don't need to think too much right now, just take good care of yourself."
Sensing something was wrong, Changning hugged the person tightly with both hands.
Lin Rusi easily tore the small body off and casually threw it into the hands of the guards.
"mother!"
"Changning needs to go back first today. Your mother will wait for your father here."
Lin Rusi turned to look at the tearful child, and was about to go back to her room when a sharp cry suddenly came from behind her.
The piercing sound drew many people out, making it impossible for them to leave.
Worried that this would make Changning appear to be discovered, he could only turn around and hug her again.
"Changning and Mother, wait for Father together, don't send me away."
"You really are..."
Lin Rusi knew that Changning was crying on purpose, so she could only keep patting his back until the child collapsed limply in her arms.
Even so, Changning was unwilling to leave, clutching Lin Rusi's clothes tightly with both hands and sobbing softly.
"Mother, don't send me away. Changning won't cause you any trouble."
"It's not that you're causing trouble, but... never mind, you go to sleep first."
With all this commotion today, I'm afraid I'll be watched and won't be able to leave.
Changning knew that she couldn't let go of her little attention anymore, so she finally closed her big, red eyes, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep.
Several times when Lin Ru thought of handing the person over, the little one in her arms would start to hum softly, as if he would wake up at any moment.
Worried about waking the guests again and again, Fan Zhe realized something was wrong and could only continue to soothe the child.
After waiting until everyone was completely asleep, Lin Rusi took off her outer robe, quickly wrapped Changning up in a ball, and handed it to the guard.
The other party already understood what was going on and naturally refused to agree, looking at the thin figure opposite them with even more tension.
“If Madam sends the young master away like this, the number of guards will be reduced by half. This is too dangerous. If the master finds out, I'm afraid…”
"Of course I know, but that's the only way to take a chance."
Upon hearing Lin Rusi's words, the guard wanted to offer further advice, but she raised her hand to stop him from saying anything more.
After hesitating for a while, he finally lowered his head and carefully straightened his robe.
Revealing his flushed face from sleep, the guard slowly stood up and turned to walk in another direction.
Once the person left the room, other guards immediately filled the empty space.
Of course, Lin Rusi knew that the child's sudden disappearance would attract attention, and she sighed helplessly as she looked at the empty seat.
"Tomorrow we'll find a way to make people think Changning is sick and unable to leave her room."
"Yes, but Madam said yesterday that if the master doesn't appear for two consecutive days, she might become suspicious."
Lin Rusi smiled upon hearing this.
“Starting tomorrow, when he takes care of the other people in the shop, he will naturally have time to come back and take care of this troublesome child.”
The guard nodded knowingly, turned around to look at the side to make sure there was no immediate danger, and then slightly adjusted his body to resemble Li Jingyang's.
After changing his clothes, he left the corner, intending to return at dawn the next day.
Having done all this, Lin Rusi turned to look at the location of the Fan residence, but after much deliberation, she turned to look in another direction.
"Go and investigate Fan Zhe's location. If he's not there, take me there."
Never expecting things to turn out this way, the guards standing elsewhere had even more gloomy expressions, clearly wanting to explain something else and keep everyone away from their corners.
He wanted to say something more, but a gaze swept over him, and Qiangxiang swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
"What exactly does Madam want to do? Could it be..."
"There are some things that should be said, and some things that shouldn't be said. You should know that."
The guards understood that what was happening behind the scenes was for Li Jingyang's sake, so they could only nod and let the others hidden in the shadows know.
Soon after, news arrived that Fan Zhe was not in the mansion.
"Just when I was about to doze off, someone delivered a pillow to my head. Do you think this is a genuine offer or a trap to catch me like a turtle in a jar?"
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose the latter.
It wasn't confidence, but rather that someone had personally witnessed Fan Zhe leaving, and that person was naturally one of their own who had been secretly following him.
