Chapter 721 [Under the Brocade 17]
Lu Yi went to the scene again, and then caught a tiny but unusually conspicuous thing - a bead emitting a warm luster lying quietly in the corner of the crime scene. This bead is obviously not an ordinary thing, and the exquisite patterns and unique materials on it show that its owner is extraordinary.
Lu Yi slowly squatted down, carefully picked up the bead and looked at it in his palm. In an instant, a figure flashed through his mind - Shangguan Xi! That's right, this bead was one of the ornaments that Shangguan Xi often wore.
Lu Yi's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. Combining the clues he had previously obtained and the bead he had found now, he could almost conclude that the incident before his eyes must be inextricably linked to the Wu'an Gang. As the leader of the Wu'an Gang, Shangguan Xi was probably not able to stay out of it.
Just as Jin Xia and Xie Xiao were arguing fiercely, neither of them would give in, suddenly, Gang Leader Xie and Yang Chengwan appeared in front of them like gods descending from the sky. Everyone was shocked, especially Xie Xiao, who instantly became obedient.
It turned out that Gang Leader Xie and Yang Chengwan were old friends who had known each other for many years. Facing this respected elder, even the arrogant Xie Xiao did not dare to act rashly at this moment, and had to tell him everything he had done before. Gang Leader Xie was furious when he heard this, and he raised his hand and slapped Xie Xiao in the face again, making Xie Xiao see stars.
Upon seeing this, Yang Chengwan pondered for a while and then advised Gang Leader Xie, "Now Lu Yi has not yet noticed the situation on our side. In my opinion, it would be better for the Wu'an Gang to hide away for a while and make plans after the situation calms down." Gang Leader Xie frowned and thought for a moment. He felt that what Yang Chengwan said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Yang Chengwan turned to look at Yang Yue and Yuan Jinxia, motioning them to come over and greet Boss Xie. It was just such an inadvertent move that unexpectedly involved an old story.
Back then, Gang Leader Xie once visited the capital with the young but already sturdy Xie Xiao. At that time, Yuan Jinxia was still an innocent and mischievous little girl.
Who would have thought that when they first met, Yuan Jinxia bit Xie Xiao without saying a word. Since then, she seemed to have found a soulmate, dragging Xie Xiao around all day, causing trouble, and making the whole capital city restless.
At this moment, when Yuan Jinxia and Xie Xiao learned that they were childhood playmates, they were both shocked.
However, even so, Yuan Jinxia's anger was still not gone. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Humph! Unless I can be reinstated, don't even think about asking me to forgive you!"
Seeing that Yuan Jinxia was determined, Xie Xiao had no choice but to rack his brains to come up with an idea for her.
Yuan Jinxia carefully carried a large bag on her back and hurried to the outside of Lu Yi's room. She stood still, took a deep breath, and then raised her hand and knocked on the door gently.
At this time, Lu Yi and You You were in the room, discussing something. Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from outside, and then saw Yuan Jinxia walking in with a pitiful look on her face.
As soon as Yuan Jinxia entered the room, she fell to her knees with a plop, and cried to Lu Yi with tears in her eyes: "My lord, I have come here today to say goodbye to you. I will leave for the capital early tomorrow morning, and I am afraid that I will never have the chance to see you again..." As she spoke, she kept sobbing.
Youyou, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment when she saw Yuan Jinxia's expression, and then she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back at all. Lu Yi stared at Youyou with a dark face, as if he was very dissatisfied with her inappropriate behavior.
Seeing Youyou laughing non-stop, Lu Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Is it so funny?"
Youyou didn't notice the displeasure in Lu Yi's tone at all, and answered without hesitation: "Of course it's funny! Jin Xia, why is your face painted as white as a ghost, and your eyes as red as a rabbit? People who don't know would think she has suffered a great injustice!" After that, she burst into laughter again.
Lu Yi shouted at the person in front of him with an angry face: "Jin Xia, get out of my sight right now! Otherwise, you'll leave today!" His voice was as deafening as thunder, making the atmosphere in the whole room tense to the extreme in an instant.
Jin Xia's heart tightened when she heard the roar, but she did not hesitate at all. She quickly got up from the ground in a panic, without even having time to brush off the dust on her body, and ran away like a frightened rabbit without looking back. She ran so fast that it seemed as if some terrible beast was chasing her from behind.
Seeing this, Youyou secretly complained in her heart. She knew that if she didn't take the opportunity to slip away, she would be the next to suffer. So, she carefully observed Lu Yi's movements, and before he turned his attention to her, she tiptoed towards the door.
Seeing that she was only a few steps away from the door, Youyou's heart was in her throat. Just when she thought she was about to escape successfully, she suddenly heard Lu Yi shouting: "Cen Fu!"
This sudden shout was like a bolt from the blue, frightening Youyou so much that you trembled all over. Cen Fu, who had been guarding outside the door, rushed in like lightning, blocking Youyou's way.
Cen Fu looked at Youyou with a serious face, and said, "Miss Ouyang, I'm sorry." After that, he reached out and closed the door without hesitation, trapping Youyou in the room. As the heavy door slowly closed with a muffled "bang", Youyou's heart sank to the bottom...
Youyou watched helplessly as the only passage was completely blocked, and Lu Yi walked slowly towards her with steady and powerful steps. Her heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Lord Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Yi's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were as sharp as a knife. He pressed forward step by step until he stopped in front of Youyou. He responded coldly: "Ouyang Youyou, do you really have to make my words clear?"
Youyou's heart trembled, but she still tried to remain calm, pretending to be confused and ignorant, and replied softly: "I am stupid and don't understand what Lord Lu means by this."
However, before Youyou could react, Lu Yi suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms, and then without hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed her tender lips. This sudden action made Youyou's brain go blank in an instant, and she froze in place.
After Lu Yi released his embrace, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he stared at Youyou with a half-smile and said, "Now, you should understand, right?"
At this time, Youyou was already confused, her cheeks were flushed, and her heartbeat was rapidly accelerating. Although she came here for Lu Yi, she was greatly surprised that things developed so quickly. She originally thought that she would have to spend some time to slowly conquer this cold and icy Lord Lu, but who would have thought that she would succeed so easily! All this was like a dream, which made her unbelievable.
