Chapter 298: Sudden Investigation (1/2)

Ying Lan wasn't surprised that Bai Luochu was paying him a visit. In fact, he was wondering what took his mistress so long to come.

Even though Ying Lan could roughly guess the purpose behind Bai Luochu’s visit, he chose not to expose her intentions, “Mistress, why are you here so late at night? Are you here for supper?”

Bai Luochu became doubtful when she saw Ying Lan acting so casually. She didn’t know why everyone was acting differently around her recently.

“When I had lunch with Pei Rumo, I chanced upon Pei Qingfeng acting intimately with a girl similar to my age. To be so close to Pei Qingfeng, she’s definitely no simple person. If you have some free time, help me investigate her background. She should be part of the mysterious group of people who appeared in the capital city a few days ago.”

Ying Lan could feel the jealousy in Bai Luochu’s voice. It was a pity that his mistress didn’t realize that Pei Qingfeng was treating her differently from other young ladies. The worst part was her acting oblivious to her feelings for him.

This was a good thing as Ying Lan did not wish for his mistress to hate all men because of Lu Wenshu. After all, he wasn’t blind and could see how well Pei Qingfeng was treating her.

“Mistress, why the sudden change in decision? Didn’t you say something about laying low and avoiding trouble just a few days ago?”

Bai Luochu regretted her initial decision. Right now, her subordinate was using her words against her and she felt like she raised her hand to slap herself.

Since she had already said it, she had no reason to take back her words. She felt that if she retracted her order to lay low, the members of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence would grow suspicious.

With regards to her sudden urge to investigate these mysterious people… Bai Luochu explained to Ying Lan, “Pei Qingfeng looks sociable and approachable, but in fact he’s extremely picky about the people around him. Out of the numerous pursuers he had, none of them could enter his eyes. Thus, this girl is definitely no simple individual, much less the group of people with her. Anyway, we should prepare ourselves as ‘know thyself, know thy enemy’.”

Just as Bai Luochu felt that her explanation was bullshit and wanted to explain further, Ying Lan had already agreed to it.

“I understand Mistress, I will investigate these bunch of people personally.” Ying Lan sighed as he looked at the awkward Bai Luochu. It was obvious that she was surprised to see Pei Qingfeng acting intimately with other girls other than her.

Although the operation this time was dangerous, Ying Lan still agreed for the sake of his mistress.
