The man's lips twitched slightly, revealing a knowing smile: "How did you recognize me?"

Meng Qianqian pointed to the empty bowl on the table: "Pregnancy-preserving medicine."

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "Oh?"

Wait for her to explain.

Meng Qianqian said, "No matter how kind an ordinary person is, they wouldn't be so kind as to prepare medicine to prevent miscarriage for me, unless you know what I've been through."

Shan Cheng said, "Couldn't I have found a doctor to examine you?"

Meng Qianqian glanced at him: "Then you shouldn't have given me the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine. The doctor should have told you that my pregnancy is going very well."

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "As expected of the Tiger Guard, I have learned a lot."

His gaze swept over her slightly protruding belly and landed on her calm and beautiful face. "It seems I was overthinking it. I thought you had a miscarriage when you suddenly fainted."

"Is that you?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

Shan Cheng said, "That's right, it's me."

Meng Qianqian looked at him intently, then looked away: "You're lying."

Shan Cheng asked, "How do you know?"

When he smiled, he resembled a refined and elegant young master from a noble family. Even the subtle light in his eyes shone with a clear and pure quality, making it impossible to associate him with the sinister and ruthless Loulan sorcerer.

In terms of disguise alone, he certainly deserves the title of "the student surpasses the master".

Meng Qianqian said, "Some things don't need to be said too clearly. After all, we are just strangers who met by chance, and we don't have much of a relationship that makes me go into every little detail."

Shan Cheng said, "What a sharp tongue! If I had known, I should have replaced this medicine for preventing miscarriage with a medicine to make one mute."

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "It's not too late now. The person is in your hands, so it's up to you to decide what to do."

Shan Cheng smiled and said, "No, I've changed my mind. I suddenly find it quite enjoyable to have someone like you talking to me."

Meng Qianqian said, "You really are asking for trouble." Shan Cheng smiled, not embarrassed or annoyed.

He changed the subject and asked, "I've asked so many questions, so in return, you can ask me some too."

"Where did you lock General Shang up?"

Meng Qianqian spoke frankly and openly.

Shan Cheng gave Meng Qianqian several meaningful glances: "You're smarter than I thought."

Meng Qianqian: "Answer me, you promised yourself."

Shan Cheng: "I thought you would ask me who the person you saw before you lost consciousness was?"

"Is it important?"

Meng Qianqian's expression was so cold that it was impossible to tell what she was really thinking.

Shan Cheng: "Fine, I might as well tell you. The merchant's hostages were rescued by a group of Kucha experts."

A master from Kucha... Was it arranged by Yucheng Tower?

Dan Cheng took in her silence: "Don't be too happy yet. Even if he escapes, it doesn't matter. You are Chenlong's sworn sister. With you in my hands, Chenlong will definitely walk right into my trap. If I can catch Chenlong once, I can catch him a second time. Then, I can use him as a hostage to lure the Shang family hostages out. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Meng Qianqian said coldly, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

Shan Cheng laughed and said, "I have already spread the word about your whereabouts. I believe the people in Xicheng will receive the news soon. Want to make a bet with me? Bet on whether I can capture Chenlong? Bet on whether the Shang family's hostages will come to rescue Chenlong?"

"Chenlong won't come."

Meng Qianqian said seriously, "Even if he wanted to come, Lu Yuan and Si She would stop him."

Actually, she wasn't sure.

But saying it this way is the safest approach.

Shan Cheng laughed, "It doesn't matter whether he comes or not, we have something else that Shang Jue wants anyway." (End of Chapter)
