Chapter 2434 Bring a Message 97.0

The two people who were caught on the spot were startled and turned around immediately. They saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha standing not far from them, each holding a lantern and looking at them with a smile.

"You. What are you doing?"

"What do you mean, what about us?" Shen Cha pulled Shen Haolin to the two people and looked at Jiang Erye and Xia Chen. "Why are we here? Didn't we leave?" She raised her eyebrows slightly. "Seventh Brother, is this what you want to talk about?"

"Yeah!" Xia Chen sighed, "Didn't you go back to the Duke's Mansion? Why are you back suddenly?"

"If we hadn't come back, how would we have known that you two would sneak out to play in the middle of the night?" Shen Cha looked at Second Master Jiang, "Second Master, why did you follow Seventh Brother to fool around? The teahouse's business is not busy, aren't you tired?"

"Not really." Mr. Jiang waved his hand. "I have to do something, a very important thing. Old Seven is just here to keep me company."

"Ah?" Shen Cha didn't understand and blinked, "Why do we have to do it at night? Can't we do it tomorrow morning?"

"It's only fun at night. Those who are good people will be beaten in broad daylight."

Xia Chen realized that he had said something wrong, so he quickly closed his mouth and swallowed the last word.

Even so, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha understood what they were going to do in an instant.

"You're not sleeping so late at night. Are you going to play cards with Qi Bo?" Shen Cha pretended to be angry and looked at the two people. "I was wondering why Qi Bo prepared so many tea cups at the horse farm just now. It turns out that they were not prepared for us two, but for Second Grandpa and Seventh Brother."

"Did you go to the stables?"

"Yeah!" Shen Haolin nodded, patted Shen Cha, and consoled her, "Don't be angry. After all, they all have their own things to do during the day, and they only close when curfew is approaching. So, if you want to get together to play cards, this is the only time."

"Yes, yes, we are just too busy and tired during the day, so we want to relax a little!"

"This explanation is acceptable, but it's curfew now." Shen Cha looked at the two men, "Walking around on the street at this time, aren't you afraid of being caught by the patrol and sent to the Duke's Mansion?"

"Don't be afraid. We are going to the Duke's Mansion anyway."

"Going to the Duke's Mansion?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, "Aren't we going to the horse farm?"

"When did we say we were going to the horse farm?" Xia Chen stretched lazily, walked over, bent slightly and looked at Shen Cha, "I've made an appointment with your master and Yan Bo."

"No!" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha retorted in unison, "We both heard with our four ears that it was Qi Bo you made an appointment with. Stop fooling us!"

"Ah, you heard it!" Xia Chen came back to his senses and spread his hands helplessly towards Mr. Jiang, "I didn't fool him."

"You can't fool them." Master Jiang smiled. "Forget it. Since we've been caught by you, we definitely can't go. You two can find someone to go to the horse farm and tell them. We won't go there."

"Giving up so easily?" Shen Cha looked at Second Master Jiang, "That's not like Second Master's style."

"Really, it is indeed a bit late. We have passed the time agreed with him." Mr. Jiang sighed, "You can send someone to tell him!" "Okay!"

Shen Cha responded, clapped his hands, and sent Shadow, who had just gone to investigate the box, to the horse farm to tell Qi Bo that Mr. Jiang and Xia Chen could not keep the appointment as scheduled. He believed that he would know what Shadow meant when he heard the message.

"Since we've been caught by you, we'll go back." Mr. Jiang turned around and was about to walk back. After taking two steps, he turned around again and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "Come in and sit for a while."

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, nodded, and followed Mr. Jiang and Xia Chen into the teahouse.

"We thought you were asleep, so we didn't plan to come in and disturb you, but we didn't expect..." Shen Cha watched Mr. Jiang light the candles in the lobby. Several people didn't go upstairs, but sat down on the first floor. He waved to Mr. Jiang who was about to prepare hot tea for them, "Please don't bother, we are not thirsty."

After hearing what they said, Mr. Jiang stopped making tea and just sat down opposite them.

"We want to go play cards. Why are you two wandering around so late at night?"

"You two said you wanted to go out for a walk after dinner. You wouldn't have been walking all the way until now, right?" Seeing the two nod, Xia Chen was full of admiration, "You two really don't feel tired!"

"There's nothing to be tired of. I'm out for a walk and I feel much more refreshed physically and mentally." Shen Cha looked at Xia Chen, "Seventh Brother, how was your chat?"

"You mean with Yanyou?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, Xia Chen sighed softly, "We talked about some things that happened to him after I left the island group. Didn't his adoptive father tell him that he would kill me? He believed it, but his adoptive father didn't chase me, or didn't succeed in hunting me down. To be precise, except for Xiao Taozi who sent us out and the Japanese around him, no one knew that we intruders were still alive."

"This kind of thing is not a secret. We will know it sooner or later." Shen Cha frowned slightly, "The person who sent you out that year, is dead?"

"Yes!" Xia Chen nodded, "Yanyou said that about a month after we left, something strange happened on the island. Many people ate the wrong food and got seriously ill. They eventually died. Xiao Taozi and the Japanese around him were among them."

"It's understandable that he got sick from eating the wrong food, but how could it be so serious that he died?" Shen Cha had no idea what was going on. "Isn't it because he ate the wrong food? This should be poisoning, right?"

"Yeah!" Xia Chen nodded, "Miao Miao said the same thing. Maybe he wanted to silence everyone who had seen me, so he set up this trap."

"But there are many people who have seen you, including Yanyou and his friends, but they should still be alive."

"Indeed." Xia Chen nodded. "Yanyou said that those who died in the accident were all people from the outer circle of the island. Most of them were responsible for patrols. Only a few really ate the wrong food. They have nothing to do with this incident."

"These people have suffered an unprovoked disaster."

"Yes!" Xia Chen sighed, "Yanyou said that he had watched his adoptive father act since he was a child, and knew that he was a ruthless and scheming person. More importantly, he didn't care about a person's life at all, and he would get rid of anyone who threatened him. Influenced by his adoptive father, he also had this problem to some extent. Therefore, when he was in the Jin Kingdom, it seemed that he would do anything to achieve his goals, and it also seemed that he and Wanyan Qingmu had similar interests."

“But now he seems to be…”

"He has not been like this since he managed to save his life that time."
