Chapter 827 The Two Met Again

Lucilla looked up at Rocky and hesitated for a moment. After going through this, she was a little suspicious of him. She felt that the things she had experienced seemed to be very strange, including the sudden appearance of Rocky and Woods' unusual attitude towards him. She thought that everything that happened since Rocky came was truly dramatic. And somehow she found it strange that everything also seemed to be related to Rocky, yet she couldn't tell clearly how.

There were a lot of questions in Lucilla's mind. First, who on earth had destroyed Raef's plot? Second, how did Woods disappear? And how could the person behind these events take advantage of the timing of everything? It was like a perfectly planned prank. But in fact, this plan was perfectly executed that it revealed Raef's plot against the prince and ruined Raef's plan. Lucilla couldn't wrap her head around this well-executed plan. She found that what happened was hard to comprehend.

In all honesty, she wouldn't know it was Rocky who had planned such an exquisite and wonderful scene.

"Chief Lucilla, I suggest we let Mr. Rookie and Chief Juey go to rest first!" Lucas reminded Lucilla at this moment. This took her out of her train of thought on what had happened here today.

Lucilla glanced at Lucas and nodded in agreement with his suggestion.

Then, Juey and Rocky left.

After a short while, Lucilla also dismissed the Cao Clan's elders and hall leaders.

And just like that, the big and noisy hall was left empty and quiet. The only people left behind the hall were Lucilla and Lucas.

"Chief Lucilla, what are your thoughts on the disappearance of His Royal Highness? Do you think his disappearance is suspicious?" Lucas asked Lucilla as soon as he was sure that they were the only people left in the hall.

"Yes, I find his disappearance really strange and suspicious. I certainly feel that His Royal Highness was concealing something from us. But I have to mention that there is another thing that is quite weird," Lucilla said to Lucas with a nod.

"What is it? Tell me." Lucas narrowed his eyes in curiousness and asked.

"It's about Mr. Rookie. I noticed that the way His Royal Highness looked at Mr. Rookie was unusual. It felt like it was not the first time the two had met. It seems to me that they were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years," Lucilla answered as she remembered the peculiar interaction of R

e, I will try my best to grant this to you! I will do my best to exceed beyond your expectations." Juey also nodded her head seriously. She realized that what Rocky had given her was not only confidence, but an opportunity to change her life. She didn't want to let him down.

Upon hearing Juey's reply, Rocky nodded with satisfaction. Then he sent Juey back to the Osmanthus Yard and left the mansion of the Cao Clan by himself. He headed north of the capital of the country.

Not long after, Rocky found a tea house along the river called Willow Tea House. The willows on the river swayed with the wind, and the scenery was pleasant. It was a refreshing sight after a tiring and hectic day.

After Rocky entered the tea house, he found that it was empty. He found this strange since most tea houses should be bustling and crowded during this time of the day. But after he thought about it carefully, he knew the reason. Woods must have made a block booking in advance.

A shopkeeper then came up to him. He took a long look at Rocky before he bowed and asked, "Sir, are you Mr. Bai?"

Rocky nodded courteously.

"Welcome, Mr. Bai. Please follow me upstairs." The shopkeeper greeted him with a big smile and led him up the old wooden stairs.

On the second floor, Rocky saw Woods standing in the wooden corridor along the river. He was looking up the cloudless sky as if he was deep in thought.

The shopkeeper retreated as soon as he led Rocky upstairs.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Woods turned around to meet Rocky. Although he looked very calm, there was a hint of excitement and joy in his eyes.
