Chapter 429…
Chapter 429…
The sun is rising and the sunlight is shallow. It is a nice autumn morning.
Xia Mo yawned in front of the eaves, stretched himself, and said with a little regret: "I watched all night but he didn't wake up. It was all in vain."
Ling Chuan brought the breakfast to the stone table and saw the boy still standing there. He called him, "It's time to have breakfast. Come here quickly. Maybe someone is waiting anxiously."
No one came to report last night, proving that Liu Qiuwu did not go to Zui Xiang Lou to find them, but a day and a night have passed, so he must have seen the letter, right?
Xia Mo knew who he was talking about, "Then let him wait for us for a while."
Then he walked over and saw that there was only food for the two of them on the table. He looked towards the kitchen and asked casually, "Where's Uncle Shen? Aren't you going to eat with us?"
"He went out and said he would be back soon so we don't have to wait for him." Ling Chuan peeled an egg for him and put it in his bowl.
"Oh." Xia Mo sat down, picked up the egg with chopsticks and started eating, no longer asking about Uncle Shen.
Just as Ling Chuan said, Uncle Shen came back soon. Ling Chuan carried the unconscious Hua Chaoxue to the cellar and told Uncle Shen to take good care of him. If he woke up, he must not let him go. Such a crucial move could not be lost before the move was made.
Uncle Shen agreed and promised to take good care of the person, and the two of them went out with peace of mind...
At this moment in Zui Xiang Lou, the waiter was greeting Li Jingran with a smile.
"Mr. Li, it's early this morning. The kitchen is already preparing the meal you ordered. I wonder if you and Mr. Liu are going to dine here, or..."
The guy was talking to Li Jingran, but his eyes kept glancing at Liu Qiuwu intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu Qiuwu's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he didn't bother to pay attention. He looked around, thinking that his nephew might be nearby.
Li Jingran didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he said directly: "Request a private room, and have the food cooked and served."
This was discussed before they came. The nephew came to the capital secretly and invited them to meet through someone else, which made it clear that he did not want to make his relationship with the Liu family public.
Not to mention him, even Liu Qiuwu was not prepared. Because the eldest prince wanted to win over the Liu family, and because the fake nephew with ulterior motives wanted to enter the Liu family, etc., he had not yet told his family's two elders that he had found his sister's whereabouts, let alone his real nephew who was wandering outside.
So they thought it was very necessary to book a private room, so that they could avoid the prying eyes of those who were interested and could reminisce about the past without being disturbed.
Seeing them traveling together as a couple, the waiter wanted to gossip, but he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. As soon as Li Jingran asked for a private room, he immediately ran to the shopkeeper to get the number.
As soon as he left, Liu Qiuwu turned around and asked Li Jingran: "Did he give the letter to you?"
Li Jingran said, "No, the person is over there." He turned his head and looked elsewhere. A waiter was wiping the table with his back to them.
Liu Qiuwu looked over and said, "Then ask which room Xiaoze is in."
"Okay." Li Jingran asked the waiter which room the person who asked him to deliver the letter yesterday was in, under the pretext of adding two new dishes.
The waiter hesitated for a moment and then told the truth: "In room three of the Tianzihao private room." After all, he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him.
"Yeah." Li Jingran was satisfied. He lowered his eyes to look at the waiter and began to use both soft and hard tactics, first rewarding him and then threatening him.
"Forget it, or else—"
The clerk who had been collecting the tips for two mornings in a row suddenly burst into laughter and swore in a low voice, "Don't worry, Master Li, I will definitely forget it completely."
Liu Qiuwu watched this scene from afar. Just by exchanging glances with Li Jingran, he knew the answer and felt relieved. It seemed that Xiaoze and the others were here for sure.
In a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of the guy with the name card walking towards him, so he took the initiative to step forward and asked him to take him up first.
When they arrived at the private room, Liu Qiuwu gave the waiter some money as soon as he opened the door.
The clerk grabbed the money and smiled happily, saying excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Liu!" He was really lucky to receive the reward so early in the morning.
"Go down." Liu Qiuwu said calmly. This move was just to avoid favoritism and causing trouble.
The waiter tactfully stepped back, and soon Li Jingran came up.
As soon as Liu Qiuwu saw him, he couldn't wait to ask, "Which room is Xiaoze in?"
Seeing how eager he was, Li Jingran smiled helplessly and said, "It's in Room 3 of the Tianzihao Private Room, on the same floor as us, just four rooms away."
After getting the answer he wanted, Liu Qiu said, "I'll go over now."
"Go ahead." Li Jingran was willing to provide cover here. It was impossible for the waiter to deliver the food without anyone around.
So Liu Qiuwu went straight to private room number three. He knocked on the door and it opened from the inside after a while, but he saw a strange face.
Liu Qiuwu's eyes fixed, but before he could ask any questions, the other party spoke first.
"Please come in, Mr. Liu. You asked me to wait for you here." As he said this, he took a step back, wanting to let Liu Qiuwu in.
"Xiao Ze?" Liu Qiuwu frowned. From what he said, did it mean that Xiao Ze was not here?
The man nodded.
Liu Qiuwu walked in.
The man looked outside and closed the door after finding no suspicious person.
As soon as he turned around, Liu Qiuwu, who was looking around, withdrew his gaze and asked, "Where is Xiaoze?"
The man replied, "The master and the boss have gone back for something, and asked me to wait here and report immediately when Master Liu arrives. Master Liu, please wait a moment, I will go and inform him."
Something happened? Did Xiaoze really encounter trouble? Liu Qiuwu frowned, his eyes filled with worry: "Xiaoze is not injured, right?"
As soon as the man heard it, he knew he had made a big misunderstanding. The master was very skilled in martial arts and was protected by the boss. What could possibly happen?
"My Lord, he's fine."
Liu Qiuwu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything was fine. He raised his eyes and said to the man, "Go ahead. I'll wait here."
"Okay." The man left.
But when he rushed back to the courtyard, Uncle Shen told him that the two of them had already set out for Zui Xiang Lou.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door of Room No. 3 in Zui Xiang Lou's Tianzihao Private Room was knocked again.
"Boom boom boom——"
Could it be that Ozawa is here?
Liu Qiuwu hurried to open the door, but was disappointed to see two unfamiliar faces.
"Uncle, it's us." Xia Mo smiled, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
It's Ozawa's voice...
The brief surprise on Liu Qiuwu's face faded away, and then he looked at the two of them carefully.
Apart from the eyes, he couldn't see anything familiar about these two faces and couldn't help laughing.
"Go in and talk."
"Ah."
It was indeed not appropriate to exchange pleasantries at the door, so Xia Mo followed Liu Qiuwu closely while Ling Chuan locked the door.
"Xiao Ze, has something happened?" Liu Qiuwu asked directly as soon as he sat down, staring at the two of them.
Without further ado, Liu Qiuwu got straight to the point and Xia Mo was also very frank.
"Brother Chuan and I have something to do in Beijing. Uncle, do you still remember the letter you asked Wei Wu to pass on to me?"
"Of course I remember. So you came here because of him?" Liu Qiuwu looked at Ling Chuan with a cold gaze, almost writing whether you instigated him to come.
There was no way. Among the two, only Ling Chuan was involved with the eldest prince. It was no wonder that Liu Qiuwu would have wrong ideas.
