Chapter 81 Catch an adulterer?

Her heart was in her throat.

As the man's footsteps got closer, the air seemed to be filled with murderous intent. Lin Zhiqing held his breath and concentrated, not daring to make the slightest movement.

"clatter!"

"Da da!"

The footsteps stopped outside the screen!

The man's footsteps were quite steady, the sound was solid and methodical, which showed that his lower body was very stable.

This person is probably good at martial arts!

Lin Zhiqing narrowed her eyes and looked at her waist, where was a dagger she used for self-defense.

But the space was too small now. If she tried to get the dagger, it would make a noise and she would soon be discovered by the unidentified man.

At the very least, your reputation will be damaged, and at worst, you may lose your life.

Lin Zhiqing closed his eyes and felt that preparing this dagger was not a perfect idea because it had too many limitations.

If she had the chance, she would definitely find a more suitable hidden weapon, and first of all, make sure she could use it in an emergency.

Just as her thoughts were swirling, the man's footsteps suddenly stopped and he stopped in front of the screen.

Lin Zhiqing's heart was in her throat. She was not sure whether the people outside saw her.

In this silent game, time seems to stand still.

She could vaguely see the man raise his hand.

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

Lin Zhiqing gritted his teeth and thought that it would be better to take the initiative than to passively defend. Maybe he could still have a chance of survival!
Thinking of this, she quickly pulled out the dagger from her waist and pushed the screen towards the man outside.

The man seemed to be prepared and hit the screen back with one palm.

Lin Zhiqing was unable to dodge and saw the screen coming straight towards her. She gritted her teeth and threw herself onto the bed not far away.

The man seemed stunned for a moment, and for a moment he ignored Lin Zhiqing, but grabbed the screen, as if he didn't want the sound of the screen to alarm others.

In a flash, the screen stood firmly in its place again.

Lin Zhiqing didn't have time to think about it, he turned around and placed the dagger in front of him.

But before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

She subconsciously let go of the dagger, and it fell into a rough big hand.

The dagger drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then stabbed towards Lin Zhiqing without hesitation.

Wait... Lin Zhiqing was shocked when she saw that hand. It was too familiar. Every time she looked at someone, she would habitually observe their hands.

These hands are clearly...

"Qing'er? Why are you here?" A surprised voice sounded.

Lin Zhiqing looked up and saw Jiang Liuyun's eyes were wide open, with the corners of his eyes raised and his mouth slightly open, looking at him in surprise.

"No, I should be the one asking you this question." Lin Zhiqing was also confused.

The dagger was still lying between the two of them. Perhaps because they were too surprised, they did not retract it for a while.

It was not until Lin Zhiqing's wrist moved that Jiang Liuyun reacted and put away the dagger.

Then he scratched his head, feeling somewhat bewildered: "Qing'er, listen to me, I'm here on some business, not to drink wine."

"Are those people making trouble down there your people?" Lin Zhiqing rubbed her wrist and felt her arm a little numb. Compared to the fact that Jiang Liuyun came to the brothel, she was more curious about how he got into this room.

Jiang Liuyun's eyes revealed a sense of surprise: "How do you know they are my people?"

Lin Zhiqing sat up from the bed. "If those people wanted to redeem that girl, they could have negotiated with the madam. It would have just been a matter of paying a little more money." "But their words didn't convey any intention of redeeming the girl. Instead, it seemed like they were just trying to exploit the situation."

"And they did take advantage of the situation to mess up Qianjin Pavilion."

"Apart from me, you are the only one who took advantage of the chaos."

Lin Zhiqing adjusted his robe while analyzing calmly.

Jiang Liuyun turned his head with an expression of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Lin Zhiqing could restore the true situation of the matter with just a few words.

"Qing'er, why do I feel like you've become smarter? As you said, today's events were specially arranged by me." Jiang Liuyun walked to the window, turned his back to Lin Zhiqing, and left space for her.

"Three months ago, I led troops to wipe out a group of bandits, but due to a minor incident, a few of them escaped."

"I've been tracking down the remnants of that bandit gang for a while now, and I've discovered they're likely operating in Shengjing City. That's how I tracked them down to Qianjin Pavilion."

He simply explained the situation, speaking quickly, as if afraid that Lin Zhiqing would misunderstand.

Lin Zhiqing nodded without asking any further questions.

Jiang Liuyun has already revealed enough information, and of course he won't say too much about the confidential parts.

When he said this, his tone was steady, his breathing was smooth, and his posture was straight, and he didn't seem to be lying.

I'm definitely not here to drink wine.

Lin Zhiqing was not greedy. She was now thinking about another question: Is this group of bandits related to her second grandfather?

To put it more simply... Does Jiang Liuyun know that Qianjin Pavilion might be the property of Second Grandpa?
Whether he knew it or not, the situation was a bit tricky.

Given the Lin family's current situation, they definitely cannot withstand the charge of colluding with bandits.

By then, not to mention her, the entire Lin family will be finished.

Lin Zhiqing had never expected that what was originally just an internal problem within the Lin family would now involve the remnants of the bandits and Jiang Liuyun.

In addition to looking for her second grandfather to deal with the private property, she also has to pull the Lin family out of the bandit's lair.

The huge amount of thinking made her hands tremble even more violently.

Jiang Liuyun noticed her hand, pursed his lips, and looked a little bewildered: "Qing'er, I didn't know it was you behind the screen. Is your hand okay?"

Not good, not good at all!

Lin Zhiqing took a deep breath and finally shook his head: "It's okay, I didn't expect another person to come in."

"Then why did you come to a place like this and dress like this? It doesn't look good." Jiang Liuyun scratched his head.

Lin Zhiqing rolled his eyes silently in his heart: "I'm here to look for someone."

"Looking for someone?" Jiang Liuyun was shocked. "How did you know I was here? Are you here to catch someone cheating? Who told you about my whereabouts? Are you trying to sow discord between you and me?"

"Is it Lu Huai?"

"No, no, Lu Huai doesn't know anything about the bandits."

Lin Zhiqing: ...

No, how could she trick Jiang Liuyun into using his ultimate skill with just a basic attack?

Who said she was looking for him?
After analyzing it for a while, Jiang Liuyun realized that his action this time was kept secret and no one could know about it.

Then there is only one possibility, Lin Zhiqing is not looking for me.

Jiang Liuyun thought for a while, then his brows relaxed: "I understand."

"Is your cousin here for a drink? Brother Shi'an seems well-behaved on weekdays, but I didn't expect he has this kind of hobby?"

Lin Zhiqing lowered his head completely. Okay, this person probably doesn't know.

I don’t know if Lin Jiusi is in Qianjin Pavilion.
