Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1924: Closing the Net and Leaving

Her eyes flickered, and an ingenious plan formed in her mind. Wan Shufang couldn't help but curl her lips and took Minghe to find Chen Changli next door.

That evening.

Chen Changli and his party left Taohua Town. The carriage drove away. Not long after, several men in black came out of the inn and quietly followed them.

Along the way, Chen Changli kept an eye on his back. Seeing that there was indeed a little tail following him, he curled his lips and said, "The fish has taken the bait."

Chen Changli pretended to be calm, pretending that he didn't know someone was following him. He quietly led the person into the trap he had set in advance. Just in case, he also sent people to watch from behind from time to time to avoid being followed.

Be careful and vigilant along the way.

Several men in black kept hiding, and seeing that Chen Changli was acting so carefully, the suspicion they had originally had completely disappeared at this moment.

The leader's eyes darkened, and he lowered his voice and ordered: "It seems that they are going to look for treasure tonight. We must get the jade pendant back and complete the task ordered by the master."

"Yes, my lord."

A group of people followed carefully. The breeze blew and the surroundings were silent, making the whole wilderness seem a bit dangerous.

After walking for quite a while, the group had only traveled a hundred miles. It was gradually getting dark. When they arrived at an open space, Chen Changli suddenly stopped the carriage and spoke in a deep voice.

"Everyone, rest where you are."

"Yes!"

"Madam and Miss Minghe must be hungry. You guys, go find some pheasants and rabbits." Chen Changli pointed to a few people, and the guards immediately took orders and walked towards the woods.

He did not lower his voice when he said these words, but instead deliberately spoke them to the people who were following him. Realizing that those people were hiding not far away, a dark light flashed in Chen Changli's eyes, making his face look even more dangerous.

Not long after, the guards who went to catch pheasants brought back two pheasants and a rabbit. After they cleaned them, they started to make a fire and grilled the meat.

The firelight illuminated Chen Changli's face. Looking at the sizzling rabbit in his hand, he tore off a piece of rabbit meat, made sure it was cooked, and took it to the carriage.

"Shufang, Miss Minghe, eat something first."

Lifting the carriage curtain, Chen Changli handed over the rabbit meat and lowered his voice: "The people have caught up. Everything will continue as planned tonight."

"Yes, master." The two men bowed to Chen Changli in front of Wan Shufang and Minghe's faces and responded in a low voice.

Chen Changli left the rabbit behind, got out of the carriage, and went to eat roast chicken with the secret guards. Now everything was ready, just waiting for nightfall to lure the snake out of its hole.

After eating, Chen Changli and his party did not leave, but stayed where they were, preparing to rest for a night.

It was the middle of the night and everything was quiet. Except for the two secret guards, everyone else seemed to be asleep.

In the darkness, several figures sneaked up to the carriage, trying to take back what their master had asked them to do. As they got closer and closer to the carriage, excitement appeared in their eyes.

"Great, we will be able to complete the mission soon and go back to claim the reward."

The leading man in black thought silently in his heart and walked faster, but still carefully stared at the secret guards. Seeing that Chen Changli and the secret guards were not awake, he breathed a sigh of relief. Due to extreme nervousness, several people did not pay attention to their feet.

When they were only half an inch away from the carriage, with a "swish" sound, a large net was quickly gathered up, covering several people in the net and hanging them on the tree.

"Oh no, there's a trap!"

Several men in black were trapped together and struggled hard, but their knives fell to the ground the moment they were hung up, and there were no tools available next door.

"Finally I caught you troublemakers."

Chen Changli's voice came from not far away. Several people were stunned. They looked up and saw Chen Changli walking over. He looked extremely clear-headed. He was not asleep at all.

"Chen Changli, you're pretending to be asleep!"

"If it wasn't to lure you into the trap, why would I bother with so much trouble?"

In the carriage, the fake Wan Shufang and the fake Minghe also walked out. They took off their masks and revealed that they were Chen Changli's secret guards. It was just that they were small in stature, so they could wear masks and pretend to be women.

Seeing this, the man in black realized that he had fallen into a trap and immediately gnashed his teeth and said, "Chen Changli, you are shameless. If you have the guts, come and fight me openly!"

Hearing this, Chen Changli snorted coldly with an indifferent tone.

"Hey, come on, tie them back."

He was too lazy to argue with these people. After giving the order, he took the lead and walked in front with brisk steps, as if he couldn't wait to get back.

But after not seeing each other for a while, he began to miss Wan Shufang.

If it weren't for Chen Changli's heartache and unwillingness to let her suffer, Wan Shufang would have followed her.

A group of people quickly rushed back. In the courtyard, Wan Shufang heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door. Seeing that Chen Changli was safe and sound, she finally felt relieved.

"Chen Changli, are you okay?" Wan Shufang walked forward and looked at Chen Changli carefully. After confirming that he was fine, she looked behind him.

Several people were tied up and thrown to the ground: "Is this the person who followed us?"

"It should be them. Come, tie them up and take them to the woodshed. I will interrogate them myself." Chen Changli gave an order and the secret guards immediately stepped forward and took the men away.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang followed them. In the woodshed, seeing the unwillingness on the faces of those people, Wan Shufang remained calm and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, why did you follow us, why did you steal the jade pendant, and why did you assassinate Minghe?"

The men in black did not answer her series of questions. They just lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

Seeing that they didn't answer, Chen Changli waved his hand, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the leading black-clad man: "Wait, we didn't say it."

"We did come here for the treasure. We followed you, assassinated Minghe, and stole the jade pendant all for the treasure. Now we were careless for a moment and fell into your trap. We were captured here and you can kill us or chop us up as you please."

The man in black raised his head with a fearless look. He was so frank that he admitted all his crimes at once, which made Chen Changli and Wan Shufang feel a little uncomfortable.

The two looked at each other, suspicion in their eyes.

Chen Changli took a step forward, stood in front of the person who confessed his guilt, and said, "Why did you admit your guilt so readily?"

His voice was as cold as ice, chilling to the bone. His words also caused the men in black to fall silent. However, it only lasted for a moment before one of them spoke up to break the silence.

"Mr. Chen and Madam Chen's interrogation methods are well-known and terrifying. We have heard about them a long time ago. We have to confess anyway. It is better to confess early than to suffer in vain."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang pursed her lips, feeling somewhat helpless, but seeing that the group of people did not seem to be lying, she reluctantly believed their words.

She raised her eyes to look at Chen Changli and shook her head slightly. Neither of them spoke a word. They just left the woodshed. Before leaving, they left a secret guard to keep an eye on the person.

Early the next morning.

After confirming that no one was following them, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang took Minghe and left Taohua Town.
