"What's wrong? Do you suspect him? " Yan Ling asked with a frown.
In fact, Yan Ling subconsciously wanted to retort at that moment. Although he didn't know why, but he could almost be sure that it couldn't be Nanyan.
"Ling'er, you know your own face but not your own heart. In this situation, even those people who had been following you the entire time couldn't completely believe it. What's more, someone who hasn't even been here for a few months? " Liang He said.
In that split-second, Liang He became aware of the sudden change in Yan Ling's mood. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It was as though he was dissatisfied with Yan Ling's trust in that fellow.
Just as Yan Ling was about to seriously ponder this matter, he saw the expression on Liang He's face and realized that he was just sulking.
Although he did not understand what was going on, Yan Ling suddenly felt that it was somewhat funny.
The dignified crown prince was actually angry with a fourteen year old youth. Even if word were to spread, no one would believe it.
"What are you laughing at? I'm just reminding you. " Liang He suddenly felt somewhat dissatisfied.
"You also have quite a number of people in your courtyard. You might not even know about the change in personnel. "It might even be possible for someone to slip through the net." Liang He didn't mention what had happened just now. Instead, he spoke with a serious expression.
When Yan Ling heard this, he pondered for a moment before frowning. Indeed, since he coveted the less trouble, the matters in the courtyard were handed over to Li Yi to take care of.
Today, when they called for questioning, they were always called over by Ye Li. As for whether there were any fewer people, Yan Ling wasn't sure.
"Qingyu!" Yan Ling raised his voice and shouted towards the door.
"This servant greets Miss, Crown Prince." She then walked through the door.
"You were also there when I called for questions, are all the people in the courtyard there?" Yan Ling asked as he stared at Qingyu.
Qingyu nodded and said, "It is indeed there, but …"
"But what?" Yan Ling quickly asked.
"Young Miss might not know this, but yesterday, Big Sister Qing Er returned to the courtyard. "Today, when I called everyone over, Sister Qing'er was not in the courtyard either." Qingyu lowered her head and said without any fluctuations.
However, what Qingyu said made Yan Ling fall into deep thought. Qing'er had almost forgotten about him, but she had never thought that she would think of him under such circumstances.
If Qing'er was the one who did this, then the mastermind must be … A trace of coldness flashed across Yan Ling's eyes. That woman really did not have a good memory. He did not expect her heart to not give up just yet.
"Is there something wrong with this Qing'er?" Liang He had sensed that something was unusual, so he asked with some curiosity.
"It's nothing. Qingyu, you go out first. I'll call for you later." Yan Ling didn't say anything further and instructed Qingyu to leave the room first.
By the time Qingyu left the room, Yan Ling's expression had already turned ugly.
"What's going on?" Liang He asked.
"That Qing'er is a spy that Yan Shuang sent to my side. She found an excuse to send him to my housekeeper, but she didn't expect him to return so soon." Yan Ling said slowly.
"It's fine that he came back, but he still hasn't greeted me. Interesting!" As he finished his sentence, Yan Ling seemed to grit his teeth.
"Yan Shuang?" Liang He clenched his fists. It was actually her again. This woman truly did not have a memory of her own.
Liang He suddenly stood up. He was about to leave. Yan Ling was stunned by Liang He's actions. Then, as if he had understood the situation, he stood up to stop him.
According to Liang He's plan, he would immediately head over to the Prime Minister's Estate and search the courtyard that Yan Shuang lived in. It was best to bear the loot and get it, and convict it. Even if it couldn't, it had to be used to shake the mountain and shake the tiger.
Perhaps Liang He's idea was the most efficient one at the moment. However, Yan Ling did not want to do this for the time being. She had other plans.
"Don't go yet." Yan Ling stopped Liang He first.
Seeing Liang He's somewhat doubtful expression, Yan Ling gently stroked his hair and slowly explained.
"If it's Yan Shuang, then the reason why I stole that jade pendant is obvious. But now, things had gotten out of hand. The slightest carelessness or carelessness could bring disaster to the entire Prime Minister's estate. I'm afraid she's even more anxious than we are. " Yan Shuang laughed coldly.
Liang He naturally understood this logic. However, he still could not understand. Just what was Yan Ling planning to do with this?
Seeing that Liang He still did not understand, Yan Ling did not seem to be in a hurry. Instead, he continued, "Based on Yan Shuang's personality, even if she knows that the matter has been blown up, she will not obediently return the jade pendant. It was a blessing for me."
"According to normal thinking, the Prime Minister's Estate will definitely have a great search for him. Thus, no matter what happens, Yan Shuang will not leave this piece of jade in the manor. " With a sly smile, Yan Ling narrowed his eyes.
What that Ling'er means is that it's better to wait and see than to preempt." When Yan Shuang could no longer hold it in, she sent the jade pendant to the Fu Mansion. "Then we'll catch him red-handed, and capture him." "What could Liang He not understand at this moment?
"Indeed, that is what he meant. Moreover, it is not easy to find the jade pendant in Yan Shuang's courtyard. Instead of alerting the enemy, it's better to just wait for them. " Yan Shuang analyzed calmly.
"I haven't thought it through." Liang He was pleasantly surprised by the intelligence that Yan Ling had displayed at this moment as he spoke with a smile.
Liang He's words made Yan Ling feel somewhat embarrassed. He lowered his head and no longer paid any attention to him.
At night, the Prime Minister's Estate might seem calm and peaceful, but in reality, it was only a simple act. On the surface, Liang He and Yan Ling didn't seem to have any movements, but in reality, they had already set up an inescapable net outside the Prime Minister's Estate, waiting for someone to deliver themselves to their doorstep.
Sure enough, at midnight, a black figure wrapped up tightly and sneaked out from the back door of the Prime Minister's Estate. It seemed to be carrying something on its chest.
That person looked around him once, but nothing seemed to have happened. He seemed to heave a sigh of relief, and took a few more steps forward.
Following that, there was a sudden sound from behind, as if someone had landed behind him. Startled, the black shadow turned around only to find a man looking coldly at the bundle in her hand.
The figure immediately turned his head and was about to run towards the mouth of the alleyway, but before he could run two steps, he bumped into a person. After a closer look, he discovered that all escape routes had been blocked.
All of a sudden, the surroundings lit up with fiery light. Liang He, Yan Ling and the Prime Minister that had been invited to be witnesses all appeared before that man.
Although the black shadow covered his face, he still couldn't help but turn pale and break out in a cold sweat upon seeing this scene. He seemed to be very clear in his heart that he had been set up by someone this time.
"Who the hell are you? "He actually dares to do such a thing in the Prime Minister's Estate!" The Prime Minister was furious. He hadn't thought that it would actually be like what the Crown Prince had said, that there would be a traitor in the matter of stealing the jade pendant.
