Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2488 Reconciliation 30.0

Mr. Jiang couldn't wait for the results of Ying Wu's interrogation. After chatting with the children, he went straight back to his room in the Duke's Mansion to rest.

Bai Meng had been running all the way and had watched such a grand event, so he was extremely tired. He staggered along and followed Xue Ruitian. He felt that if he didn't sleep, he might die suddenly.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha were the only ones left in the flower hall. Meilin had already cleaned up the flower hall when Jiang Erye, Xue Ruitian and Bai Meng left, and then he also left to find Ying Wu to see what Ying Wu needed and what stage the interrogation had reached.

She was not too worried about the fact that there was no one around Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. There were shadows nearby anyway, and they could appear in time if there was any need.

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and everyone else left, and did not stay in the flower hall. They went directly to the study, where there were partitions, couches, snacks, and clothes they needed to change. If they were tired or sleepy, they could just rest there, which was much more convenient than the flower hall.

The small study had been tidied up in advance. Shen Haolin and Shen Cha took turns to go to the bathroom next door to wash up and change into clean clothes. One leaned on the couch and the other leaned on the recliner. Both of them held a cup of tea in their hands and leisurely enjoyed a moment of tranquility.

Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, who had his eyes half-closed and looked very comfortable, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Hearing the laughter, Shen Cha opened his eyes, turned to look at Shen Haolin, and stretched out his hand.

Shen Haolin held her outstretched hand, kissed it gently, patted it again, and comforted her, "It doesn't matter if you have one or two more. Don't be sad."

"Well, actually, deep down, I don't want them to have anything to do with the Qinglian Sect or Master Falian. Someone once said that when you find bugs in a room, the whole room may have been occupied by bugs." Shen Cha's expression was helpless. "Master Falian has already arranged too many nails here. If possible, I don't want more."

Shen Haolin didn't say anything, he just got down from his recliner, sat next to Shen Cha, reached out to hug her, and patted her gently twice.

Shen Cha leaned in Shen Haolin's arms, closed her eyes, and sighed softly.

"There won't be any more. As long as we completely kill Master Falian, even if there are nails, they will become useless nails, right?"

"As I said before, the tragedy of us, our fathers, mothers and grandparents must never be repeated in our future generations."

"Now that we know who our opponents are and where they are, we are closer to the mastermind than our father and mother, and we can seize the initiative. Although Master Falian is in the dark and we are in the light, they may not know what we want to do."

"We are thousands of miles apart. Even if we know, it's useless. News won't spread that fast." Shen Cha raised his head and looked at Shen Haolin. "In fact, I have always had an idea, but I didn't say it out loud because I was worried that I would be laughed at if I said it out loud."

"Why are you being laughed at?" Shen Haolin chuckled and said, "Tell me about it."

"I was thinking that while we are surrounding Master Falian on land, I would also like to ask Uncle Liu and Brother Qi to take the navy to that island to cut off their retreat. Master Falian is a cunning man, good at disguise and escape. In order to prevent him from using the trick of escaping, I am afraid we need people to disguise as merchant ships and lure him into a trap."

"This is a good idea, but it's a little simple so that people won't laugh at you." Shen Haolin kissed Shen Cha's forehead, "How did you come up with this idea?"

"What did you think of? This plan?" Seeing Shen Haolin nod, Shen Cha closed his eyes and said, "It was Old Lu who gave me the inspiration. Since he followed Brother Seven to the sea, it wouldn't be in vain. I'll give him this mission. It can be considered a test for him, right?"

"That's right. It's a bit of a waste to let him play with Old Seven for nothing." Shen Haolin picked up the tea next to him and handed it to Shen Cha's mouth, saying, "Let him study carefully how to hunt this time."

Shen Cha took two sips and stopped drinking. He watched Shen Haolin finish the rest and put the empty cup aside. "I don't know how the trial went for Lao Wu. Is the musician willing to tell the truth?"

"Lao Wu has plenty of ways to pry open his mouth. You have to trust him." Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha on the shoulder. "If you feel tired, take a nap. I'll call you when he comes back."

"Yeah!" Shen Cha responded, leaned on Shen Haolin, found a comfortable position, and slowly closed her eyes.

Shen Haolin looked down at the person in his arms, reached out to cover her with the small blanket beside him, patted her back gently, and hummed the little song he used to sing to coax her to sleep when she was a child.

Shen Cha was not very sleepy at first, she just wanted to take a nap, but before she knew it, she was coaxed to sleep by Shen Haolin.

Hearing that Shen Cha's breathing had become steady, Shen Haolin lowered his head to look at her, a faint smile flashed across his face. He kissed her forehead, then leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes to take a nap.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Shen Haolin heard light and familiar footsteps coming from outside. He slowly opened his eyes, and soon saw Ying Wu and Merlin appear in front of him.

Before Yingwu and Merlin came in, they didn't expect to see such a scene. The two of them turned back in surprisingly consistent movements, making Shen Haolin very helpless.

"Come here, both of you!" He waved towards Yingwu and Meilin and said in a low voice, "Tell me, what did you find out during the interrogation, or did you find out nothing at all?"

"Mianbai confessed." Yingwu handed Shen Haolin a confession. "He admitted that the theater riot this time was all his fault, and Mr. Ke really didn't know about it. Moreover, he admitted that this was the first time he did this, but he had no choice."

"why?"

"Although he is not a member of the Qinglian sect, someone approached him and threatened him with the secret of the Ke family. If he could not raise one million taels in a short period of time, the other party would make the secret public, letting everyone in the world know that the nephew of the Empress Dowager is actually an actor, and a well-known actor at that."

"Who said that? Who is this person? Have you found out?"

Shen Haolin didn't say anything. He heard the sound coming from his arms. He looked down and saw that Shen Cha, who had fallen asleep, had woken up at some point.

"woke up?"

"Hmm!" Shen Cha looked at Ying Wu standing in front of him, took the hot tea handed over by Merlin, drank two sips, and said, "Who is it?"

"Mian Bai doesn't know. That person has never revealed his true face." He handed over a portrait. "This is drawn based on his description. He looks familiar, but I can't remember who he is."

Shen Cha took the portrait, looked at it carefully, and exchanged glances with Shen Haolin.

"This is Mr. Ke."
