Chapter: 5600
The English Master sighed: "It's unknown for now. There have been too many strange things happening recently, and many of them are still unclear. That's why I've always had a sense of unease. You know about the situation with Jien Gebao, who was hit by a cannonball and turned into mush. Who knows what kind of danger Jinling might face next?"
He added: "But you don't need to worry too much. I'm just saying this as a precautionary measure. Long Shengbo is in plain sight, while you are in the shadows. This way, everything will be fine. If there's no danger, that's best. But if there is, you can help him at critical moments from Jinling. He may have two minds, but he's still an indispensable general of the Clearwater Hall, and we cannot afford to lose another Jien Gebao."
Yun Ruoge immediately responded: "English Master, don't worry! I understand now!"
The English Master nodded and said: "And if Long Shengbo gets into trouble after clearing out An Mansion, I'll let him know in time to withdraw from Jinling. At that point, you can stay behind and wait for Yang Changying's son to appear."
After hanging up the phone, Yun Ruoge sang like a cloud in her heart, with ten thousand unwilling emotions.
Although she was one of the four great dukes, she had always disliked fighting and killing, not to mention being forced by the English master to do evil deeds.
She hoped above all to stay at Broken Clear Hall, not asking about worldly matters, and focus on cultivating her skills.
Even if she occasionally had to carry out the English master's tasks, she would rather find a suitable opportunity to hone her skills.
For example, this time the English master let her search for Lin Wen'er in the Far East region, and she did indeed search, but without too much enthusiasm, just messing around.
However, she didn't expect that the English master's one phone call would mean she had to set off immediately for Jinling.
And this time going to Jinling was to monitor Long Shengbo, which meant her days ahead would be busy and unable to relax.
Although unwilling, she couldn't afford to lag behind even a moment, so at midnight she hastily set off.
She spent a high price buying a car from the inn owner and left the small town where she was staying for the Russian Far East city of Yakutsk.
At the same time, Zhang Erma was carrying with her a jade pendant and bank card worth over $100,000 that she had received from Xiao Tong, and with dark circles under her eyes, she was enjoying herself at the largest nightclub in Jinling, having a good old time drinking to her heart's content.
In front of Zhang Erma, a variety of expensive Western wine was on display, with each bottle of champagne costing at least 20,000 to over 100,000 yuan. Additionally, several young and beautiful women were gathered around him, flattering him excessively, with their evening fees totaling five figures.
Zhang Erma was splurging like this because it was all according to Xiao Tong's demands.
Xiao Tong had explicitly instructed him in the evening: today, don't do anything, just let loose, play, and even reserve the presidential suite at the White Gold Han Palace for him. He knew that tomorrow morning, Count Bai would certainly be looking for Zhang Erma at the Antiques Street, so he let Zhang Erma spend lavishly tonight, sleep in until daybreak, and then go to Antiques Street with a hangover.
This way, not only could it make Zhang Erma's cover more convincing, but also force Count Bai to adapt to Zhang Erma's rhythm. Xiao Tong thought that by using antique items and ritual implements as bait, he could manipulate the other party's mindset, regardless of whether Count Bai was coming to Jinling to kill his own grandparents or not; first, he would have him learn to wait and endure.
The next morning at dawn.
Zhang Erma was sprawled on the luxurious bed in the presidential suite at the White Gold Han Palace, holding onto something with a mixture of sleepiness and dizziness.
As soon as Long Shengbo left the hotel, he headed to the antique street to wait for Zhang Erma's appearance; meanwhile, Defenbo Yunlu took a few hours' night train and had just arrived in Yakutsk, Russia.
After arriving in Yakutsk, she boarded the earliest morning flight to Haci City, located in Northeastern China.
As the old Sukhoi Super 100 aircraft landed at Haci City Airport, Yunlu again quickly handled customs and transit procedures and flew to Jinling from there.
Just as she was flying to Jinling, Long Shengbo had already been wandering around the antique street for a while, getting close to losing his temper.
In order to find Zhang Erma early, Long Shengbo came earlier than all the vendors today. JrNovels.com
