198 Lin Zhou: Zhuo Li 2 (1/2)

Zhuo Li sighed in relief when he knew that Yao Ying was going to receive him as his subordinate. He answered politely, ”This servant already killed the maid, before that we at the designated place and told her that the mission has been successfully done.”

”And then?” Yao Ling asked curiously because he stopped talking all of a sudden. ”This servant would like to apologize first because this servant made a sudden decision when handling this matter... as a gift to Young Master and Young Mistress.”

”Oh... how so?” Yao Ying started to become more interested in this man. He wanted to hear what this man wanted to say.

”I let her come back to the Wang Fu first to spread the news of the successful mission to the maid's mistress. After she did that, I killed her the very same night,” Zhuo Li said. This was his gamble --- he used his brain as an advisor to gain the couple's trust. He wanted to show them his worth.

”Why did you do that?” Yao Ling furrowed her eyebrows. ”Did you find out who is the mistress?” Yao Ling saw that there was no benefit for doing that.

Zhuo Li shook his head. ”I don't... We didn't meet at Wang Fu so there was no chance to meet her mistress.” After that, he explained why he wanted the maidservant to spread the news first. The one who sent the assassins wouldn't dare to divulge this news right away but would bask in happiness. She would wait for the news to reach Wang Fu by itself while gloating inside. However, that night... something would change. Her happiness would turn into a nightmare due to her maidservant's death. She must have been guessing who killed the maidservant.

She would start to feel scared because of her maidservant's death --- Zhuo Li didn't intend to cover the way the maidservant's death, he deliberately let the people find out that she was killed and created a little ruckus.

”After that?” Yao Ling smiled. She seemed to know what Zhuo Li intended to do. She liked this man's cleverness. That woman's nightmare should serve her right! Hmph! If she didn't send men to kill them, then none of this would happen too.

”She will live in fear, knowing that her closest maidservant suddenly died. This servant is pretty sure that she won't dare to say to anyone that the maidservant was killed just to avoid the investigation,” Zhuo Li explained. ”She would certainly afraid that people would find out about her bad deeds and keep her mouth shut for the time being.”

Yao Ying nodded.

Zhou Li continued his explanation, ”Just imagine what kind of face that she will make when Young Master and Young Mistress return on a later date. I believe both of you will be able to find out which one is the main culprit.” Zhuo Li politely explained. He didn't need to explain more how they would find out about it.

The one who lost personal maidservant and was surprised to see them must have been the real culprit.

It seemed like the moment they stepped into Wang Fu after finished the mission, there would be a lot of fun. They only wondered whether this mistress was also Liu Li's real master or not.

Yao Ling grinned in satisfaction. ”You are doing a good job,” she praised. It seemed like he could become a good ally as long as he was loyal to them. They arranged for him to go with Xiu so Xiu would be able to keep an eye on him for the time being, after all, they were in the middle of a mission.

Lin Jian's contact already said that Han Xiang would arrive in less than two shichen. They had already prepared a plan and the first part needed Xiao Fang's full cooperation. The latter already listened to Yao Ling's persuasion and think that she should open her mind. If she thought back, Han Xiang indeed behaved differently.

She didn't want to believe that Han Xiang wasn't the same person anymore. Xiao Fang needed to get the bottom of this and prove to everyone that Han Xiang was still Han Xiang...
