Chai Yan was amused by her and immediately relaxed and said: "Look at you like this, why are you so nervous?"
"Don't interrupt! Tell me, what is it?" Jimo Qiao asked.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "What I want to say is that if you, as the eldest lady of Jimo, can help me clear the way..."
"No!" Jimo Qiao interrupted him decisively: "Unblock it? How to dredge it? Where do you think the Prince's Mansion is? Don't even think about it!"
"That's really not possible?" Chai Yan's smile gradually disappeared.
"It's really not possible!" Jimo Qiao affirmed again.
"Then forget it..." Chai Yan shrugged.
Jimo Qiao said: "Chai Yan, just wait peacefully. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it!"
Chai Yan smiled and nodded.
Next, the two chatted for a few more words. Chai Yan saw that it was getting late, so he sent Jimo Qiao away.
The next morning, Chai Yan was cleaning the yard when Cheng Huahan, the chief of staff, suddenly walked in.
"Chai Yan, where have you been these past few days?" Cheng Huahan asked with a slightly sullen face.
"Uh..." Chai Yan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
We couldn't talk nonsense about Yangxin'an, so we had to bite the bullet and said: "Well... Chief Cheng, I... I haven't gone anywhere, I just feel so busy here every day.
So I went for a walk on the street..."
Chai Yan felt strange. On weekdays, almost no one came to the library, and Chief Cheng was not interested in asking. Why did he suddenly come this morning? And from this tone, he had been looking for him in the past few days...
..
Cheng Huahan did not delve into the meaning of Chai Yan's absence for several days without any reason, but said kindly: "Chai Yan, I understand what you think. Yes, Ceku is an underachievement for you...
.But even if it is, you can't run away blindly. If the news reaches Master Duanmu, you will definitely be unable to eat and carry around..."
Chai Yan was even more surprised, what was wrong with Cheng Huahan? Instead of scolding himself, he also gave him a kind reminder.
"Chief Cheng, come to see me...are you okay?" Chai Yan asked tentatively.
When Cheng Huahan saw that Chai Yan had figured out his purpose, he stopped beating around the bush and said, "There is indeed something..."
Chai Yan asked what was going on. Cheng Huahan turned around and closed the courtyard door, then urged Chai Yan into the attic of the library.
"Chief Secretary Cheng, there is no one else here, just tell me if you have anything to say!" Chai Yan said.
Cheng Huahan hesitated for a moment and asked: "Chai Yan, I heard from Li Sili's group that you helped them find the whereabouts of the dark cultists, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Chai Yanxin said that this matter spread so quickly that even Cheng Huahan knew about it.
Cheng Huahan's face suddenly became serious and he whispered: "I have a friend who encountered something and wants to ask you for help..."
"Your friend? Ask me for help?" Chai Yan was puzzled and asked, "What's the deal?"
Cheng Huahan said: "What else can I do to help? I'm just looking for someone!"
Chai Yan thought so, otherwise Cheng Huahan would have asked him about catching the secret cultists as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Chief Secretary Cheng, can you tell me who your friend is?" Chai Yan asked curiously.
"I can tell you, but you have to keep it a secret!" Cheng Huahan said.
Chai Yan nodded and said solemnly: "Chief Secretary Cheng, I have the harshest mouth!"
Cheng Huahan didn't want to say who it was now, but when he thought about it carefully, if Chai Yan was called over and he saw the real owner but was unwilling to help, wouldn't that mean that the real owner would not be able to step down in front of him?
So he said in a low voice: "You actually know this person..."
"I know him?" Chai Yan was even more puzzled. Then why didn't he come by himself?
Cheng Huahan said: "The person who asked you for help is Tai Shule!"
"Tai Shu Le... Tai Shu Si Shi?" Chai Yan said in surprise.
Cheng Huahan nodded and said: "Chai Yan, if you are willing to help, come with me now. If not, I will not force anyone to do anything difficult!"
Chai Yan didn't think much and said immediately: "You have already spoken, how can I not agree?"
Chai Yan immediately understood why Tai Shule didn't come by himself. He was from Duanmu Yuanwei's faction. It would be shameful if he came in person and was rejected.
Even if he didn't refuse and agreed to help, the people in Wude Division were so messy that if Duanmu Yuanwei found out, he would definitely be criticized.
But Chai Yan didn't expect that Tai Shule would have such a good personal relationship with Cheng Huahan.
Cheng Huahan immediately showed a smile and said: "Without further delay, come with me now!"
Soon, Chai Yan locked the courtyard door and left with Cheng Huahan.
Cheng Huahan took Chai Yan out of Wudesi, and the two walked through several streets. About half an hour later, they arrived outside an inconspicuous small courtyard.
After pushing open the door of the small courtyard, Cheng Huahan only sent Chai Yan to the door, but did not go in: "Tai Shule is inside. He will tell you in detail who you are looking for. There are many things in the department. I
You have to go back quickly!"
After saying that, Cheng Huahan turned around and left the small courtyard and went to Wudesi.
"Mysterious..."
Chai Yan looked at Cheng Huahan's retreating back and muttered, but when he turned around, he was frightened into a cold sweat: "I'm going!"
At some point, Tai Shule had already stood a few feet behind Chai Yan, with a straight face and his hands behind his back, as motionless as a stone statue. It would be strange if Chai Yan was not frightened when he turned around.
"Close the door!" Tai Shule said solemnly.
Chai Yan's brows immediately wrinkled, and he thought to himself, should you ask me for help, or should I ask you for help?
"good!"
Unexpectedly, Chai Yan responded and stepped outside, not forgetting to close the door at the same time.
Tai Shule was startled and immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Where are you going? Come back here!"
The door suddenly stopped just before it was closed, and then opened it again. A head poked out and said with a smile: "Didn't you ask me to close the door? I'm closing it!"
"You brat, are you doing this on purpose?" Uncle Tai said angrily, "I asked you to close the door, but I didn't let you out!"
Chai Yan said calmly: "Uncle Commander, if you speak in a tone of asking for help, I will definitely not do that..."
Tai Shule understood that it was Chai Yan who thought he had a bad attitude and was putting on airs against him.
"You come in first and then talk..." Tai Shule's expression immediately relaxed a lot at this time.
Upon seeing this, Chai Yan walked in again, looked around and said, "Uncle Commander, I forgot to tell you, I haven't had breakfast yet..."
"You!" Taishu Ledeng was immediately annoyed, but he had a request from Chai Yan and did not dare to get angry.
"Come in!" Uncle Tai was helpless and turned around and walked into the main room.
I came to sit down in the main room, and soon an old woman brought me cakes and tea.
Uncle Tai said happily: "That's all, just make do with it!"
