“So, Mrs. Xiao, you mean that as long as Gu Ying is willing to form an alliance with you and provide a little help when necessary, you will help him settle this matter? As you just said, this is no ordinary murder case. It has already alarmed three state capitals, and the scope of its influence will continue to expand.

MO Ruyue wanted to see what kind of plan Ye Youwei could come up with to prove her sincerity. If possible, she could even make this deal on behalf of Gu Ying.

“Lady Qin should be very clear about what kind of existence my husband’s intelligence organization is. Speaking of which, it can be considered as a sworn enemy of the blood tower. There is still a lot of evidence in her hands.

Moreover, it is not difficult for us to clear our identities and the like.”

“The most important thing is that we have a lot of people. Even if a hundred pigs run out, it will take time to catch all of them. But wouldn’t it be easier with more people? Our cooperation will only bring you benefits and no harm. This should be the most tempting condition for you.”

It had to be said that Ye Youwei’s words had hit the nail on the head.

She had been reborn into an ordinary mountain village family. With her abilities, even if she didn’t do the business she used to do, she could still live a good life. But Gu Ying was not.

She didn’t know what had happened to him, but he must have his reasons for choosing to walk the same path.

What MO Ruyue wanted to do the most right now was to let Gu Ying be like her, to be able to live under the sun with a proper identity. So when Ye Youwei said that her identity was cleared, it made her particularly tempted.

“What do you want me to do, Mrs. Xiao?” MO Ruyue pondered for a while and chose to accept Ye Youwei’s conditions.

She wasn’t afraid that she would kill the donkey after it had stopped grinding. Whether it was her or Gu Ying, even if they were alone, they could still make them pay the price, let alone if they worked together. Ye Youwei would understand this more clearly in the future.

“It’s very simple. When Lady Qin goes to find your friend, you can bring my family’s token. This way, you can mobilize the hidden forces in various places to help you. After it’s done, just let your friend accept this.”

Ye Youwei said as she pushed two small boxes over from the table.

There were two different-colored thumb rings in the two boxes. One was suet jade, and the other was Emerald.

There was a “Xiao” character engraved on the ring, which was obviously the surname of Ye Youwei’s husband.

“I realized that as long as it’s a decent family, they seem to like to use Jade as a token.”

MO Ruyue had already received jade tokens from Imperial Doctor Tian, Duanmu Xize, Bai Jinshang, and the others. Now, Ye Youwei had given her another one, and it was two thumb rings. That was why she was so emotional.

“Jade is the most noble of all artifacts, so this is the best choice as an accessory. Some families will also choose waist tokens made of wood, bronze, or iron. This depends on the wealth and preferences of the family.”

Ye Youwei pointed at the emerald ring and said, “This is a ring that only our Xiao family’s distinguished guests can use. Only when the temperature is raised after wearing it will the blood-red words be revealed. As long as that Mr. Gu Ying wears it, the people in the organization will naturally recognize it.”

“This suet jade is a temporary token of authority. It can allow you to mobilize the Xiao family’s forces in various places for a month. Unless you are someone we trust very much, you will not be able to get this ring.”

“I hope that Lady Qin can properly keep these two tokens. If they were lost and fell into someone else’s hands, it would be a disaster for our Xiao family.”

Ye Youwei’s expression became extremely serious as she spoke.

She had already shown the greatest sincerity that the Xiao family could give. It was obvious that the importance she attached to MO Ruyue and Gu Ying was not ordinary.

“Alright, I’ll accept it then. Thank you for your help, Madam Xiao.”

MO Ruyue accepted the two boxes without hesitation. With such help in her hands, there would be much less trouble in the future. Naturally, she would not give up and not use them.

“Then I wish us a happy cooperation. I also hope that Lady Qin’s trip will be smooth and you can find your important partner.”

Ye Youwei stood up and ended the conversation.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, MO Ruyue left the Bai manor with the big black horse. After she quickly left the city, she immediately mounted the horse and left.

When she left, she didn’t deliberately say goodbye to the babies. No matter how many times she had been through this, she still couldn’t get used to parting, especially now. She had to go to an appointment that she had to go to, so she didn’t want to say goodbye to them.

At the same time, the babies who were studying in the courtyard seemed to have sensed something. They put down their brushes at the same time and looked outside.

“Big brother, has Mother already left?”

San Bao looked at Da Bao and rubbed his chest a few times. “Why does my chest feel so stuffy and empty? It’s so uncomfortable.”

“Me too,”

San Bao furrowed his brows and rubbed his chest as well.

Tang Tang didn’t say anything. She just lowered her head and looked at the book, but bean-sized water droplets kept dripping down, staining the paper with a watermark.

“Mother probably didn’t want us to be sad, so she left quietly. This doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about us. What we can do now is not to let Mother worry. When she is done with her own matters, she will come back.”

“Wasn’t it like this every time before?

Da Bao felt the same way as his younger siblings. They could clearly sense that their mother had left, but they didn’t have time to be sad. Instead, they had to follow their mother’s instructions and learn their skills well so that she wouldn’t have to worry about her family when she was outside. This was what they should do the most.

Outside the door, Aunt Liu nodded slightly to Uncle Liu, indicating that the two of them could leave.

They had received the news that MO Ruyue had left and wanted to come over to see how the babies were doing. They had thought that they might have to persuade and accompany them for a while, but now it seemed that there was no need.

The two of them quietly returned to their own rooms, and only then did they look at each other and sigh.

They had long realized that MO Ruyue was not an ordinary person, but they didn’t expect her to be involved in an even more dangerous matter. If it wasn’t for the emergency, with her ability, why would she entrust the babies to someone else and even involve them?

This meant that they were just like the babies, becoming one of MO Ruyue’s weak spots.

The couple was both happy and worried about this result. They were happy that they could still become someone else’s important family in the end of their lives, and this was something they had always hoped for in their hearts but could not say.

He was worried that he didn’t know how much trouble MO Ruyue had gotten herself into this time and whether she could return safely.

“Otherwise, I’ll pray to the heavens every day to bless Lady Qin’s safe return.”

After a long time, Aunt Liu finally said this. Uncle Liu, on the other hand, remained silent.

After MO Ruyue left the city, she did not choose to go to Xu City, which was the closest to her. Instead, she planned to go to Ping City first, and then make a turn to Lin City, which was a hundred miles away from Ping City.

From the route and timeline of the cities where the incident had occurred, there seemed to be no regular pattern to speak of. But for MO Ruyue, she could see some clues.

They had always followed the principle of capturing the leader first. They would take down the biggest threat from the start, and then slowly take care of the ones below..
