Chapter 328.1: Not Allowed to Stop (1/2)

Tang Doudou smiled slightly. “Just listen to my instructions.”

Lian er looked troubled. “Alliance Head Li, I’m just a courtesan.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t ask too much of you. You wouldn’t be able to do much anyways.” Tang Doudou patted his shoulder and had him get up. “I just want you to accompany me out, that’s all.”

“Out?”

“That’s right, to Yuelai Inn.”

As she was speaking, Gu Xun walked in.

Lian er hastily curtsied towards Gu Xun. Gu Xun waved to dismiss him.

“Don’t.” Tang Doudou called out to stop Lian er, then she said to Gu Xun, “In a little while, Lian er will be heading out with me.”

“Hm?”

“Has Boss Gu come up with a way to help me get out?” asked Tang Doudou.

Gu Xun sighed. “This is precisely why I came to talk to you. Alliance Head Li, perhaps you should consider sending someone after all. There’s seriously no way to hide from the spies outside!”

Tang Doudou said with a smile, “It’s fine, I have my own ways. If there’s no way to hide from the spies, then just give up doing so and head right out.”

Gu Xun tried to dissuade her. “Alliance Head Li, we can’t risk that!”

“It’s fine, don’t worry. I won’t joke with my life.” Tang Doudou stood up and grabbed Lian er. “Do you courtesans have any clothes that will fit me?”

“You?” Lian er sized her up. “Alliance Head Li’s figure isn’t that different from ours. You can probably fit into most of our garments.”

Gu Xun frowned. “Alliance Head Li, this is?”

“En, so I’ll be borrowing Lian er for now. Boss Gu wouldn’t happen to have objections, right?”

“It is Lian er‘s fortune to be able to help Alliance Head Li.” No emotions could be heard in Gu Xun’s words, but his eyes were dark. He was clearly unhappy with her insistence in going out.

However, that had nothing to do with her. She had to get the box containing the antidote to the Hoarfrost Poison personally!

She couldn’t even entrust Jun Xin to do it!

With how reckless he was, what if he ended up breaking the things? Then it’d be too late for regret.

“Lian er, after you head out, make sure to look after Alliance Head Li with your life, understood?” said Gu Xun.

Lian er‘s shoulders trembled. “Understood.”

“Alright, go.”

Tang Doudou and Lian er left the room together. As Gu Xun watched them, his gaze darkened. He had already sent someone to the inn to search her room, but they hadn’t found anything.

What exactly was she heading there to grab? Or was it that she was purposefully using this chance to do something else?

Why was she taking Lian er with her?

Gu Xun couldn’t tell what Tang Doudou was thinking, so he went to Jin Yi and instructed, “Get someone to tail them. I want to see what exactly she does.”

“Alright, but, she’ll definitely be able to guess that we sent someone after her, so she probably wouldn’t do anything out of the ordinary.”

“Then allow her to shake you guys off.” Gu Xun furrowed his brows. “And, go check if there’s any news from the Lin Clan Stronghold.”
