Chapter 202: We Were Allies
Lin Rusi showed no fear in her eyes, but she moved her body slightly and took a few steps back defensively.
“Princess Jinglie, this is not our fault. If anyone is to blame, it is you for offending someone you shouldn’t have.”
"The person you offended?" Lin Rusi frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
She's offended so many people, how would she know who they are?
"Knowing who I am, you still dare to do this? Don't you want to die?" Lin Rusi clenched her fists tightly and asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, we don't want to either, but if we don't do this, it will be difficult for us brothers to survive in the future."
The leader rubbed his hands together, his troubled expression masking a hint of excitement.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to say anything more to them!" Wanqi stepped forward, blocking their path.
Seeing this, the thugs became even more excited and approached with smiles on their faces.
However, before they could even touch Lin Rusi, Wanqi had already kicked her directly.
"Get out of here! Stay away from our princess!"
Wanqi had a cold face. The thug was probably stunned by the beating. He covered the spot where he had been kicked and looked up in disbelief.
"You brat!" The thug was enraged and was about to slap her when Wanqi moved faster and with greater force.
He grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it hard, causing the thug to scream in pain and collapse to the ground.
"You bitch! What are you looking at?! Get her!"
With a wave of his hand, the thugs rushed over and headed towards Lin Rusi.
Wanqi and Wanxia exchanged a glance and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.
The two women leaped into the air simultaneously, one on each side, and surrounded the thugs. Under their protection, Lin Rusi was unharmed.
He simply watched the thugs with cold eyes, while the thugs were beaten so badly they couldn't even flinch.
He could only run while looking back, shouting threats: "You just wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
Lin Rusi snorted coldly, but found it amusing.
Wanqi and the other woman approached, their eyes filled with worry: "Your Highness, are we just going to let it go like this?"
"Of course not." Lin Rusi stared intently in the direction the thugs had gone.
But deep down, I was thinking, to tell the truth.
She couldn't believe who could be so despicable. Two figures vaguely appeared in her mind, but she quickly hid them away.
"Let's go back. Even if we investigate, those thugs might not show up tomorrow."
Lin Rusi dismissed the topic lightly, not taking it to heart at all. Of course, those people weren't so stupid as to not even think of such a simple principle.
Princess Jinglie was attacked by thugs outside. Such a serious matter will surely be met with Li Jingyang's revenge.
Of course, this is all predicated on whether they succeed or not.
Given the current situation, the mastermind behind it certainly won't allow any unexpected events to occur.
Halfway there, Lin Rusi suddenly thought of something and smiled slightly.
"You should find some time to report this to the authorities," Lin Rusi said with a smile, clearly in a very good mood.
Both of them were a little stunned, not quite understanding what Lin Rusi meant.
"But do we really need to go to such great lengths to find the murderer?" Wanqi asked cautiously.
Lin Rusi shook her head: "Of course not, it's just that if we don't make a fuss, how will the person behind the scenes reveal their true colors?"
She smiled and asked in return, but seeing that Lin Rusi had her own plans, neither of them said anything more.
And soon, this matter was exposed.
Luo Lan heard the news almost immediately, especially after hearing some of the details, and her face immediately turned extremely ugly.
"Fortunately, Princess Jinglie had two maids with her, otherwise..."
"Yeah, yeah, these thugs in Beijing are getting bolder and bolder these days."
……
The two walked away, talking as they went.
Luo Lan heard it clearly, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She had actually failed; she had forgotten.
Lin Rusi had two maids with her, so it was normal for her plan to fail.
Immediately, Luo Lan frowned, somewhat annoyed.
She shouldn't have just hired these two thugs to deal with Lin Rusi; she should have spent more money to hire more people.
Those two girls were trained by Prince Jinglie, so even if they were really good at fighting, it wouldn't be a problem.
Meanwhile, in the residence of the Princess of Lin'an.
A servant rushed in to report: "Princess! Princess! I heard that Lin Rusi..."
The servant recounted how Lin Rusi had been attacked by thugs, and Po spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"Princess, even the heavens couldn't stand it anymore and sent people to deal with her, but unfortunately, they failed. Those scoundrels."
“It failed.” Princess Lin’an put down her teacup, her eyes darkening.
Luo Lan is such an idiot! She can't even handle something this simple! What is she capable of?!
Princess Lin'an felt a little displeased. Someone like Luo Lan was useless; even if he knew the plan, he would probably only be a hindrance.
Especially with a face like that, she might betray me at any time.
Princess Lin'an always felt uneasy about having someone like that help her deal with Lin Rusi.
She immediately gave the order: "If Luo Lan comes looking for me, tell her that I am unwell and cannot receive guests!"
"Luo Lan? Yes!" The maid was puzzled, but still obediently answered.
After a moment's thought, Princess Lin'an still felt uneasy. Although Luo Lan's words made sense, she should still find a smarter ally.
"Prepare the carriage! We're going to the Sun residence!" Princess Lin'an waved her hand.
Sun Jiayi was clever; at least her methods were much more ingenious than Luo Lan's. Princess Lin'an boarded the carriage.
Meanwhile, at the Sun residence...
Sun Jiayi opened the door, only to find that the person standing outside was Luo Lan, which surprised her slightly.
"Miss Luo, what brings you here? Did Her Highness the Princess send you?" Sun Jiayi asked tentatively.
But Luo Lan saw a different emotion in his eyes, and he shook his head.
"No, I'm here to see you, Miss Sun!"
Seeing that Luo Lan was certain, Sun Jiayi had no choice but to let him come in first.
"If you have something to say, come in and say it."
After entering, Luo Lan made no attempt to hide anything and spoke her mind frankly.
"Miss Sun, I was the one who caused Lin Rusi to be attacked by thugs today!"
"What?!" Even Sun Jiayi didn't expect her to be so direct, and almost spat out her water.
Despite her surprise, Luo Lan remained remarkably composed.
"I did it, that's right, but I failed." Luo Lan stared straight at him.
"So you came to find me..."
Sun Jiayi was even more puzzled, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes. She hadn't expected Luo Lan to be such a person of action.
"I want to cooperate with you!" Luo Lan didn't hide his purpose; he wanted to go back to Princess Lin'an now.
I doubt even Princess Lin'an would pay any attention to me, let alone help me.
However, Sun Jiayi is undoubtedly the best option at the moment.
"We've always been allies, haven't we?"
