Chapter Eight Ambush

  For two consecutive days, Ye Yun was sent to the street to buy things. Wu Ma gave her a very long list and reminded her to take her time buying them, no need to rush.

  Ye Yun thought as she walked, don't wealthy families have things they can't finish buying? Every day there's such a long list, and she also discovered that some of the items on this list were things they had bought the day before. Each time they bought very small quantities.

  Since it's something you use every day, why not buy a bit more at once? Ye Yun really couldn't understand.

  At this time, something suddenly hit Ye Yun's head.

  Ye Yun was startled and hastily looked around in all directions.

  What is it?!

  At her feet was a crumpled up piece of paper.

  Ye Yun picked up the crumpled paper and smoothed it out. On it were written three big characters: "Look Up".

  Ye Yun reflexively lifted her head and saw Murong Yu smiling at her and waving.

  Ye Yun looked around, making sure no one was following her, before entering the wine house in front of her - Chongyang Wine House.

  The boss saw Ye Yun and immediately waved away the approaching colleagues, personally welcoming her, "Please come this way, miss."

  It seems like we've already greeted each other. Ye Yun nodded and followed the boss to rush to the luxurious room where Mu Rongying was.

  Pushing open the door and entering, I found that Ling Feng was also there, still wearing a white dress with a flash of light, swaying and shaking, her posture extremely elegant.

  "How did you get here?" Ye Yun asked as soon as she entered the door.

  "Let me take a look at your progress." Murong Ying poured Ye Yun a cup of water.

  Ye Yun shook her head, "There's no progress for the time being. Although there are suspicious places, but who is the murderer has no clue. I really can't see who in their family would be the murderer, the old man is now completely useless. The others are also honest and kind people, staying at the Gao house to continue serving the two father and son for the deceased madam."

  "Ah?" Murong Yu was taken aback and looked at Ling Feng.

  Ling Feng put away his fan and said, "What is this suspicious place you speak of?"

  "I'm at the Gao's, and by evening, there's nothing to do. Everyone returns to their rooms to rest, and both Gao Xu and Wu Ma warn me that after dark, I absolutely cannot take a single step out of my room door. No matter how important something is, it's not allowed. This is one of the strange things about this place."

  Ye Yun paused, and Ling Feng chimed in, "Another strange thing is that every day at this time, you're always sent out to buy things, right?"

  Ye Yun and Murong Yu looked at Ling Feng in surprise at the same time.

  "Yes, that's right. And every time there are a few repeated items on the list, and in very small quantities, so we have to buy them every day." Ye Yun hesitated for a moment, then asked, "But how did you know?"

  Murong Yu suddenly enlightened, "So you come out every day and end up here? The geographical location of Chongyang Wine House is very good, especially this elegant room. From the window, you can see the whole street scene, so you can see Miss Yun'er coming to buy things every day."

  Ling Feng ignored Murong Yu and said: "From this, it can be seen that at this time every day, there must be something in the Gao Mansion that cannot be let you know."

  "Me too," Ye Yun nodded, "so I thought of going back early today to take a look."

  "This doesn't seem right?" Murong Ying was somewhat worried. "What if something unexpected happens at the Gao residence, wouldn't Yun'er be in great danger?"

  "Don't worry! I knew there was danger involved when I agreed to take this on. Don't look at me like that, I still know some martial arts and can take care of myself." Ye Yun said humbly, having learned wushu, judo, and taekwondo, all with a black belt or higher level, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close to her.

  "If you want to find the murderer as soon as possible, this is the only way." Ling Feng also said on the side.

  Murong Ling thought about what Ling Feng said and found it reasonable, nodded, "Alright, miss, don't worry, I'll send someone to secretly protect you."

  Ye Yun nodded and left without delay.

  Ling Feng arrived at the window and looked at Ye Yun's departing figure, saying: "Tonight, send people to ambush around Gao Fu."

  "Tonight?" Murong Yu didn't understand, "Isn't it now?"

  "The Gao family isn't that foolish, nothing will happen during the day. This girl didn't find anything during the day, she'll definitely take action at night. Tonight everything will be revealed."

  Murong Ying looked at Ling Feng with a playful gaze, teasingly saying: "You've been too lazy to care about this matter before. Now you're suddenly so enthusiastic, is there something you're plotting?"

  Ling Feng gave him a cold glance, "Mind your own business."

  Ye Yun hastily left the wine building, and all the way familiarly bought the things she needed at the fastest speed. Unlike in the past few days, she obediently listened to Wu Ma's words and didn't return until almost noon.

  It was fortunate that when Wu's mother introduced her to the layout of the Gao residence earlier, she wasn't completely distracted and had taken note of the location of the back door.

  This back door is usually unlocked for the convenience of people entering and exiting.

  However, the location is also very secluded, covered by a thick layer of branches, and ordinary people can't find this door.

  Ye Yun cautiously looked around, making sure no one was nearby, before pushing aside the branches and gently opening the hidden back door, walking inside.

  As soon as I entered the yard, a whole courtyard of dust flew towards me.

  Ye Yun was unprepared and accidentally inhaled a mouthful, suddenly starting to cough.

  "Who's there?" came Wu Ma's voice from in front, but it was somewhat muffled, as if she had covered her mouth and nose with something.

  "Wu Ma, it's me!" Ye Yun shouted towards the inside with her sleeve covering her mouth.

  "Huh?!! Is it Ye Yun?? How did you get back so early?!!"

  It's no wonder Wu Ma is so surprised, after all, in the past Ye Yun would always obediently follow her instructions and not return until noon. And she always left through the main gate.

  He came back early today without saying a word and even left through the back door?!

  "I've been walking around the market for two days and I'm tired of it, so I just bought what I needed and came back." This was Yeye's excuse.

  "Is that so." Wu Ma walked out of the smoke and dust, coming to Ye Yun's front. A piece of cloth was tied around her face covering her mouth and nose, just like a bandit robbing a house on TV, Ye Yun barely held back from laughing.

  "Wu Ma, what are you doing?"

  "Lately, our house has been having a big cleaning, so I let you stay outside for a while during the day, it's all dusty everywhere here."

  "Spring cleaning? I can help with that too."

  "No need. Someone has to go out and buy things, you've just arrived at the mansion and aren't familiar with its layout. I think today's cleaning is almost done. Go put the things in the kitchen and wait for me to call you to do something else."

  "Good!" Ye Yun nodded and took over the handkerchief handed by Wu Ma to cover her nose, then ran towards the kitchen.

  It seems that this mansion is indeed undergoing a large-scale cleanup, and Wu Ma didn't deceive her.

  Ye Yun's thoughts turned around.

  It seems like I can only take action at night.

  At night, when the night fell, Ye Yun also returned to her own room as usual and extinguished her light at the old time.

  In the middle of the night, the entire High Manor fell into silence, with everyone enjoying the pleasure of playing chess with Zhou Gong in their dreams. At this time, Ye Yun's door creaked open quietly.
