"Well, you guys first find out Qin Banruo's route. As soon as she leaves Prince Yu's Mansion, tell me immediately and I will catch her. If I act alone, I won't expose the Jiangzuo League."
"As for Wei Zheng, go find Sister Dong first. If Sister Dong can't confirm it either, leave it to me. I will definitely be able to find out where Wei Zheng is being held."
Everyone discussed for a long time, and in the end only Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu were left.
Mei Changsu said softly: "It seems that you have become a little impatient after your trip back to Langya Mountain?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "That's not the case. I just think your progress is too slow and your body can't handle it. Also, my child is about to be born. I want to resolve these issues as soon as possible and spend more time with the child."
"I think you will be a good father in the future." Mei Changsu could hardly hide his envy in his tone.
Zhou Chen said: "I won't talk to you anymore. I will come straight to you after entering the city. I haven't even returned home yet. I will go back first."
"Okay, then you go back first."

Chapter 858 Returning Home, Qin Banruo Offline
Just as Zhou Chen arrived in front of his own mansion, before he even entered, he was seen by the doorman Lao Li who was guarding the door, who immediately cheered with joy.
"Master, you are back."
Zhou Chen nodded and asked, "Is everything okay at home?"
Old Li nodded repeatedly and said, "Everything is fine. Madam is also fine. I will go tell Steward Lu and Madam that you are back, Master."
Having said that, he quickly ran to the yard and shouted. The yard was not very big to begin with, and almost everyone in the yard heard his shout.
After a while, Steward Lu came out first, and Gong Yu walked out slowly with the help of her maid.
"Son."
When seeing Zhou Chen, Gong Yu's eyes changed instantly, as if water was about to drip out.
Seeing Gong Yu walking slowly, Zhou Chen walked over quickly, supported her, and said softly: "Why are you walking so fast with such a big belly? Be careful."
Gong Yu smiled gently and said, "I'm fine. I just heard that you're back and I want to see you right away."
Zhou Chen had been in Langya Mountain for more than two months, and she was pregnant. Her mental state was the worst, and that was when she missed Zhou Chen the most.
But she was not the kind of weak woman who could not take care of herself. On the contrary, she was very strong. Even when she wrote to Zhou Chen several times, she never complained. Instead, she expressed her concern for Zhou Chen between the lines and asked Zhou Chen to take good care of himself.
How can you not love a woman who only has you in her heart and eyes?
"I'm sorry, Gong Yu, I wasn't by your side when you were in the most pain."
Gong Yu shook his head, with only happiness on his face, without a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Young Master's business is the most important. I'm fine."
"Come on, I'll help you in."
Zhou Chen supported Gong Yu and walked into the central courtyard carefully.
Gong Yu is not far from giving birth, and her belly looks particularly big, obviously bigger than that of a normal pregnant woman. Fortunately, Gong Yu has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has a very good physical fitness, otherwise, even walking would become very difficult now.
After Butler Lu reported to Zhou Chen some things that had happened over the past two months, Zhou Chen waved him away and then went to talk to Gong Yu.
Ever since Zhou Chen came back, Gong Yu has had a smile on her face. After everyone else left, she held Zhou Chen's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Zhou Chen also kept staring at Gong Yu. As the pregnancy progressed, Gong Yu also showed many pregnancy phenomena that many pregnant women experience.
For example, spots appear on the face, the body becomes obviously fatter and out of shape, and even the eyes are a little swollen. This should be due to not getting a good night's sleep.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gong Yu."
He and Gong Yu have known each other for so many years and have been together for more than a year, but this is the first time he has seen Gong Yu in such a weak state.
Gong Yu shook her head and leaned on Zhou Chen's shoulder.
She was really feeling uncomfortable these days. She couldn't eat, couldn't sleep well, and was in a very bad mood. But she was able to overcome all these and didn't want Zhou Chen to worry about her because of these things.
After being gentle for a long time, Gong Yu suddenly whispered: "Sir, there is one thing I didn't tell you. I'm afraid you will blame me."
Zhou Chen asked in surprise: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Gong Yu whispered, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Aunt Jinyu and I went to see my mother."
"Mother? You went to my mother's place?"
Zhou Chen was indeed surprised. He really didn't know about this matter, and Gong Yu didn't tell him about it in the letter.
"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't discuss this with you. It was Aunt Jinyu who came to see me and said that my mother wanted to see me. I couldn't refuse, so I went with Aunt Jinyu. My mother was very happy to see me and she even cried. She asked me to call her mother, and I couldn't refuse, so I..."
After saying this, Gong Yu lowered her head, looking weak as if she had made a mistake and was willing to be punished by you, sir.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly, lifted Gong Yu's head, and said softly: "It's okay, it's a matter of time. My mother can recognize you, we should all be happy, you don't have to feel that you have done anything wrong. After all, my mother is the elder, she asked you to go, it's not easy for you to refuse."
He was not opposed to letting Gong Yu contact his mother. Anyway, his current identity had been revealed in front of his mother. Letting Gong Yu meet his mother would not only help promote the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also make his mother Xiao Zhihan feel better.
Of course he would have no objection to letting Gong Yu do something for her that he couldn't do.
Gong Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Zhou Chen was not ready to recognize his mother now. Although she was passive, she was still worried that Zhou Chen would blame her. Now that she heard that Zhou Chen did not blame her, she was no longer worried.
"Young Master, don't worry. I will go there secretly and no one will find out." Gong Yu said again.
"Mother and Aunt Jinyu also made a lot of new clothes for our children and asked me to bring them back. I will show them to you later. Mother and Aunt Jinyu made great clothes."
Speaking of this, Gong Yu's face blossomed with the glow of a mother. Now, whenever something happened regarding her children, she would behave like this.
A woman with children and a woman without children are always two different women.
"Okay, I still remember the clothes my mother and nanny made for me when I was a child, especially nanny Jinyu, the clothes she made were the most beautiful..."
…………
"Sir, we have already located Qin Banruo. When do we take action?"
In a street alley not far from Hong Xiu Zhao, Zhen Ping asked Zhou Chen in a low voice.
Because Zhou Chen said he wanted to capture Qin Banruo, he volunteered to go with Zhou Chen, so Zhou Chen asked him to follow Qin Banruo.
Zhou Chen asked: "What did Mr. Thirteen say?"
"Mr. Thirteen is ready. As long as we catch Qin Banruo, we can interrogate her at any time. With our methods, Qin Banruo will not be able to withstand it."
Zhen Ping's face was furious. He was also from the Red Flame Army and had been in the underworld for so many years. Not only was he not a kind-hearted person, he also had many ruthless methods.
Zhou Chen nodded: "After dealing with Qin Banruo, I still have to follow Xia Jiang. Let's deal with it quickly. I will take action alone later, and you guys will be responsible for the support."
That is because they are in the capital, otherwise they would not need to be so cautious.
Qin Banruo walked out of Hongxiuzhao and prepared to go to Prince Yu's Mansion.
She has been in a bad mood recently because she lost contact with her fourth sister a month ago, and the child path that she asked her fourth sister Junniang to break through also disappeared.
As an excellent spy, she immediately realized that something was wrong and that Fourth Sister Junniang was most likely discovered.
But after that, there was no movement from the Su Mansion, and Mei Changsu also did not react at all. She didn't know whether it was because Mei Changsu did not get the information from Jun Niang, or for some other reason, which led to Mei Changsu ignoring her.
But because of the disappearance of her fourth sister Junniang, she no longer had a way to break into the Su residence, especially now that the rivalry between Prince Yu and Prince Jing had been exposed, and Mei Changsu no longer had any contact with Prince Yu.
Mei Changsu did not help Prince Yu, which would have been a very good thing for her. However, after several accidents, the strength of her Red Sleeves Technique was greatly reduced. She failed to complete the tasks Prince Yu had asked her to do, resulting in Prince Yu no longer trusting her as much as before.
So she has been very upset recently. Fortunately, she can still contact Xia Jiang and serve as a link to help Prince Yu get in touch with Xia Jiang.
Now she has fewer and fewer secret agents, and she also wants to increase her manpower, but it is not so easy to train a good secret agent. What's more, she does not trust outsiders except the people of the Hua tribe. The Hua tribe has disappeared for many years, and it is too difficult to find surviving people of the Hua tribe.
The carriage they were riding in suddenly stopped and Qin Banruo leaned forward. The next moment she steadied herself, looking dissatisfied and was about to lift the curtain.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed in and hit her before she could react. The next moment, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes.
Zhou Chen, dressed in black, carried Qin Banruo's body and quickly disappeared on the street.
Because every time Qin Banruo went to Prince Yu's Mansion, he always walked through some relatively quiet streets where not many people came and went, so when Qin Banruo was kidnapped, although some people saw it, these witnesses basically took the attitude of not caring about it and left quickly.
When Qin Banruo regained consciousness, she immediately realized something was wrong, but when she was about to move, she found that she couldn't move.
She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in a dimly lit room. The next moment, she saw several figures in front of her.
Before she could say anything, someone else spoke first.
"Miss Qin!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Qin Banruo raised his head in disbelief and looked forward.
Following the dim light, she recognized the people in front of her at a glance.
"Mei Changsu, Gongzi Yu, and Mr. Thirteen? You are indeed in the same group. It was you who arrested me?"
At this moment, she was horrified. Mei Changsu and the others had captured her. It was obvious that they knew something and were preparing to attack her.
"You dare to arrest me, aren't you afraid that Prince Yu will know?" At this time, she could only bring Prince Yu out, hoping that Prince Yu could have some deterrent effect on Mei Changsu and the others.
But she overestimated Prince Yu. Mei Changsu said calmly, "Prince Yu won't know that we have captured you, so you don't need to test us with words. We captured you so we are sure of our safety. Next, I will ask you questions and you will answer them. If your answers satisfy me, you may be able to save your life."
Qin Banruo had gone through the initial shock, and although he had not yet calmed down, he had calmed down a little.
"Mei Changsu, what do you want to ask?"
Mei Changsu asked: "I want to know the whereabouts and intelligence of all the secret agents in your hands, and what else your master, Princess Xuanji, left for you?"
Qin Banruo took a deep breath and asked in horror: "Mei Changsu, who are you? How do you know all this?"
Mei Changsu even knew about it, her master, Princess Xuanji. It was no longer something she could just deny. She was shocked as to how Mei Changsu could know all this.
Mei Changsu said: "It's not important how I know this. What's important is that I'm the one asking you, not you. Your life is in my hands, so you just need to tell me the answer."
Qin Banruo suddenly sneered: "Mei Changsu, since you know my identity, you must also know what kind of training I have undergone. Do you think I will tell you?"
"As expected, I knew I couldn't get anything out of you. Anyway, I've already made preparations. You are the heir chosen by Princess Xuanji, so there is no need to worry about the hidden clues for now. If Princess Xuanji has any important tokens entrusted to you, you must bring them with you."
Hearing this, Qin Banruo suddenly showed a hint of panic on his face, but he quickly concealed it.
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Mei Changsu smiled and said nothing, but turned to look at Zhou Chen.
Feeling Mei Changsu's gaze, Zhou Chen asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Body search."
"Then why don't you search? I'm a married man, and you're a bachelor. Now there's a legitimate opportunity to take advantage of me, but you don't do it yourself. Why ask me to do that?"
Although Qin Banruo was indeed very pretty, Zhou Chen was very clear about the character of these Hua tribe spies. He really had no interest in such women.
Mei Changsu was helpless after being confronted by Zhou Chen, and finally he could only look at Mr. Thirteen: "Uncle Thirteen."
Mr. Thirteen was not as resistant as Zhou Chen. He walked up to Qin Banruo and started searching amid Qin Banruo's screams.
"Tsk tsk!"
Zhou Chen just kept shaking his head, causing Mei Changsu to glare at him fiercely.
Soon, Mr. Thirteen found a sachet and handed it to Mei Changsu.
"It must be very important if it is hidden close to the body."
Mei Changsu opened the sachet and took out a letter from it.
When he finished reading the letter, he exhaled slowly.
"Although I have long known that Princess Linglong and Princess Xuanji of the Hua Clan are very powerful people, I only now discovered that there is such a secret."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Prince Yu is the son of Princess Linglong. Do you think he would collapse if he knew the truth?"
"What did you say?"
When Qin Banruo heard Zhou Chen's words, his expression was incredulous and he excitedly yelled at Zhou Chen and questioned him.
Zhou Chen sighed, "Sometimes I really find it strange that someone like you who has no moral integrity can still insist on not looking at the treasure bag left by your master, Princess Xuanji. I really don't know if you are too filial or too pedantic."
Mr. Thirteen was also shocked: "Young Master, Master Chen, is Prince Yu really the son of Princess Linglong of the Hua Clan?"
Mei Changsu held up the letter in his hand: "This is the letter Princess Linglong wrote to Prince Yu. It has been clearly stated in the letter. Our Majesty is really hard-hearted. Others don't know Prince Yu's identity, but he knows it very well. But even so, he still supports Prince Yu to compete with the Crown Prince. It is obvious that he is using Prince Yu to train the Crown Prince."
"It's a pity that he didn't underestimate Prince Yu, but overestimated the Crown Prince. Of the two, one was the one most likely to inherit the throne, but ended up like that; the other had the least chance of inheriting the throne, but is now the closest to the Crown Prince. It's a pity that Prince Yu doesn't know that he will never get that position."
Zhou Chen said: "The imperial family is the most ruthless. It is normal for father and son to use each other. Now that you know the biggest handle of Prince Yu, what are you going to do next?"
Mei Changsu said: "Prince Yu's identity means that he cannot become the crown prince, so even if we do nothing, he will not be able to compete with Prince Jing. Our biggest target now is still Xia Jiang."
"Mei Changsu, Gongzi Yu, who are you? What is your purpose?"
Qin Banruo saw Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu talking as if they were alone and ignoring her, and she shouted excitedly.
