The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1526 - 1525: Knowing Full Well

"Miss, you are being biased. I'm stronger than Yin Qiao. Why did you send Yin Qiao and not me?"Jin Qiao pouted, looking troubled.

"Because you have important things to do as well."

The maidservants Wang Han brought from the West Island were only two, and they had grown up with her since childhood. If both were sent out, she would be left all alone without anyone to serve her.

Even so, Wang Han decided to send them both out for a two-pronged approach to gather evidence of Qin Qing's tricks.

"Jin Qiao knew that Miss wouldn't be biased. Who does Miss want Jin Qiao to follow?"

Jin Qiao was always obsessed with tailing people, seemingly addicted to it.

"This time, it's not following, but returning to the West Island!"

Wang Han made this decision after careful consideration.

"Miss, Jin Qiao will never speak nonsense again. Please, Miss, don't send Jin Qiao back to the West Island. Besides knowing how to serve Miss, Jin Qiao knows nothing else. If Miss doesn't want Jin Qiao, she will starve to death."

Jin Qiao cried while kneeling in front of Wang Han, her eyes filled with grievance.

With her tears and snot mixed together, Jin Qiao shamelessly looked at Wang Han, making Wang Han feel disgusted.

Wang Han couldn't stand Jin Qiao's pitiful look and immediately explained, "It's a mission this time. I'm not sending you to the West Island permanently; I want you to bring some trusted Hidden Guards over. In our current situation, it's tough to do anything. With the Hidden Guards' help, things would be much simpler."

"So it's just to bring the Hidden Guards over. Miss, you should have said so earlier. Jin Qiao was scared to death!"

Jin Qiao rubbed her knees and stood up automatically, looking at Wang Han with bright eyes.

"Actually, to summon the Hidden Guards, Jin Qiao can do it from the North Island. There's always been the master's contact point there. We just need to carry the identity Token to the contact point. Any request or trouble we have, the head of the contact point will handle it for us. Rest assured."

The North Island has a connection line to the West Island?

There are Hidden Guards here too?

Perhaps because Wang Han had been dormant for some time, she was unaware of some arrangements Wang Lin had made. If Jin Qiao hadn't mentioned it, Wang Han would have sent Jin Qiao on an extra trip.

"Check how many Hidden Guards we have over at our contact point. Pick some sharp ones for us to use first. If it's not enough, we can pick more later."

In Wang Han's plan, many Hidden Guards were genuinely needed, and the quantity of people warranted surplus rather than scarcity.

Upon receiving the order, Jin Qiao asked Wang Han for the Token and went to the contact point to request manpower. Yin Qiao didn't delay either. She knew Zhou Runfa had gained quite a lot of prestige on the North Island recently. There must be someone constantly monitoring Zhou Runfa's every move. With storytellers' tales on the streets, whatever Yin Qiao wanted to know would be easily accessible.

With both maids suddenly leaving Wang Han, Wang Han found herself at a loss for what to do.

Outside came a patterned knock on the door, which Wang Han ignored, letting it continue, thinking the person would be sensible enough to leave when no one answered. However, the knocking didn't cease even though Wang Han didn't open the door.

With a thud, Wang Han watched as the door to her house was kicked open. Standing before her was none other than Tang Rao, still bearing injuries.

When Wang Han left, Tang Rao was still by the side of the Ancestor, and he hadn't even looked at Wang Han. But just when Wang Han lost hope and stopped fantasizing, Tang Rao reappeared.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Tang Rao made Wang Han nervous. If those two maids were here, she might have been more rational and calm, but dealing with Tang Rao alone was not Wang Han's forte.

"Madam saved my life at great personal risk. I thought just saying 'thank you' would be too simple, so driven by my conscience, I've come here to thank you again, showing that I'm generous and sincere."

Wang Han knew that Tang Rao coming here meant nothing good.

His words sounded nice—thanking Wang Han once more.

But in reality, Tang Rao thanked Wang Han because of his conscience, not because Wang Han did something that genuinely moved him.

"I've accepted your thanks. If there's nothing else, you can leave. Before you go, please fix my door, and I'll say thank you as well."

Wang Han headed inside; her heart felt empty all day, missing something she couldn't name. Aside from wanting to lie idly by herself, she didn't want to do anything.

"Where are those two maids of yours? Your mood is so bad; shouldn't they be serving you?"

Tang Rao looked around; not seeing Jin Qiao or Yin Qiao, he couldn't help but give Wang Han a second look.

"Don't overthink. I just sent them out to run some errands."

Besides, those two maids were brought by Wang Han from her family. Being sent out by Wang Han on errands has nothing to do with Tang Rao; if possible, she even wanted to save the explanation.

"I see. Since those two maids aren't here, and I'm injured, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of me, Madam."

Taking care of Tang Rao, did he think the good weather matched the beautiful thoughts in his mind?

"Taking care of you is out of the question. If you haven't been beaten enough, I can help add some new wounds to you. Where do you want these wounds placed?"

Seeing Wang Han sharpening her knife with intent, Tang Rao believed she was indeed capable of those violent acts.

"Just joking, no need to be so petty, Madam. I'm just here to remind you that the more you try to find answers to many things, the more tedious they become. Zijing City itself is a dull place. If everything requires an explanation, looking back, it wouldn't be very meaningful."

There was no way Tang Rao would say these things to Wang Han without reason unless he had discovered something.

"Tang Rao, do you know who released the Eight Great Vajra?"

Wang Han couldn't believe it. If he knew someone was trying to harm him, why would he willingly walk into a trap? Was it just for fun?

"You doubt the intelligence of the man you chose?"

Tang Rao had always been conceited, and Wang Han slowly got used to his way of speaking, single-mindedly wanting to know what Tang Rao had figured out.

"The Array is a good Array, just that the person who set it up had no good intentions. Knowing I'm smart yet still targeting me—such a person—Han Han, do you think I should spare him or kill him to eliminate future troubles?"

Tang Rao talked about killing someone like it was a joke; who knew how much truth there was in his words?
