After Ren Chao got out of Gu Nuo’er’s carriage.
He had just walked past a street when he was bumped into by someone.
The other party repeatedly apologized. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Then, the other party quickly brushed past him.
Ren Chao’s expression was solemn and he didn’t say a word.
However, after taking a few steps away, he slowly opened his clenched palm.
There was a note inside.
It was stuffed into his hand when that person bumped into him just now.
Ren Chao took a simple look. It said— “Someone’s following you.”
He was immediately shocked.
He didn’t dare to look around, lest he alert the enemy.
Ren Chao tightened his grip on the note and quickly walked forward.
He walked into a narrow alley and hid in the dark.
As expected, a moment later, someone suddenly followed in sneakily.
“Where is he?” The other party asked.
Ren Chao didn’t hide anymore.
He suddenly flew out and strangled the man’s neck with his elbow.
He questioned fiercely, “Why did you follow me?”
The man under his control didn’t react at first.
However, very quickly, he suddenly counterattacked and kicked back fiercely.
Ren Chao hurriedly dodged and let go.
The man turned around. It was a stranger that Ren Chao didn’t know.
However, his tone was very cold. “I saw you getting out of the princess’s carriage just now. Ren Chao, you betrayed the prince.”
Ren Chao frowned. “What do you want?”
The man sneered. “Come back with me to see the prince!”
As he spoke, he threw a punch.
Ren Chao quickly blocked.
Suddenly, an extremely thin bamboo leaf suddenly flew over from above.
The leaf that should have been light was now extremely sharp like a dart.
It cut the man’s neck.
The man’s eyes widened. Before he could let out a cry for help, he collapsed.
Blood flowed all over the ground.
Ren Chao retreated warily.
A figure landed gracefully from the roof, looking extremely elegant.
Ren Chao looked up and met a pair of extremely cold eyes.
It was actually the noble young master who had followed the little princess that day.
He seemed to hear Her Highness call him cousin?
Qiao Xiuli placed his hands behind his back and said with a tall figure, “You’re too careless. You didn’t even know that someone was following you.” Ren Chao frowned. “That note was given to me by Young Master?”
Qiao Xiuli nodded.
“Since you’re working for Nuo’er and deceiving Prince Guang for her, you should be more careful.’
Ren Chao pursed his lips. He knew that he had been negligent. He cupped his hands and said his thanks. “Young Master, thank you for saving me.”
Qiao Xiuli’s expression was cold. “I’m doing this to protect my sister, but your carelessness might cause serious consequences.”
Ren Chao lowered his head. “There won’t be a next time.”
Qiao Xiuli took a deep breath and looked calm. “You can leave. I’ll deal with this person.”
“Yes.” Ren Chao glanced at Qiao Xiuli again before turning to leave quickly. He once again had a clear idea of the Qiao Family.
It was rumored that the Qiao Family’s sword techniques and darts could be said to be number one in the world.
He had just seen that Young Master Qiao could actually use a bamboo leaf to kill someone.
Ren Chao couldn’t help but click his tongue in surprise.
At night, Prince Guang received news that the person he had sent to follow Ren Chao was actually dead.
The hidden guard knelt and reported, “He seemed to have gotten into an argument with someone for some reason and was stabbed to death in the narrow alley.”
Prince Guang was surprised. “How can it be such a coincidence? Have you checked? Was there anything strange?”
The hidden guard shook his head. “The person who quarreled with him was a drunk man. He was notorious in the vicinity and often caused trouble after getting drunk. This time, after he woke up, he realized that he had killed someone. He has already been executed in the government office.”
Prince Guang was puzzled.
Was there really such a coincidence?
