Chapter 118: The Premonition Comes True (Part )
Bai He moved out?

Su Liuyue's face turned serious, and she said, "I talked to my third cousin this afternoon. He said that Mr. Bai is a suspicious person. Yesterday he said someone was following them, and today he witnessed the tragic scene of Wei Wulang being burned to death. He must have been scared, so he hurriedly moved out and found a place to hide."

Feng Dali frowned, "What should we do? If no one knows where he went, we can just ignore him?"

Su Liuyue pondered for a moment and said, "My third cousin is roommates with Bai Langjun and is quite familiar with him. I will go to Yangzheng Academy and ask my third cousin."

Although, she felt that Xue Wenjin probably didn't know where Bai He had gone.

Sure enough, when she arrived at Yangzheng Academy and met Xue Wenjin, Xue Wenjin also had an anxious expression on his face. He shook his head and said, "On my way back, I stopped by the study to get the pens and ink I ordered. When I returned to the dormitory, Brother Bai was no longer there. I was also worried. I didn't know if anything would go wrong if he moved out alone like this."

Su Liuyue could only say: "Then third cousin, please keep an eye out for me. If Bai Langjun contacts you, or you notice Bai Langjun's whereabouts, send someone to tell me immediately."

Xue Wenjin nodded and said hesitantly, "Liu Yue, you are so concerned about Brother Bai's whereabouts, could it be... that what he said about someone following him is true? Is Brother Bai in danger?"

Su Liuyue shook her head. "I'm not sure at the moment, but at this critical juncture, we can't let go of any doubts."

Xue Wenjin understood immediately and said solemnly: "Okay, I will let Ping Bai notify you as soon as there is any situation here, and you must be careful in everything."

Su Liuyue responded, then turned around and left with Feng Dali.

Xue Wenjin stood at the gate of the academy and watched them leave, with a lingering worry in his eyes.

She worked with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the only thing that made him feel fortunate was that with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince around, Liu Yue's safety was probably more guaranteed.

After Su Liuyue left Yangzheng Academy, he turned to Feng Dali and said, "After thinking it over, I think we can't just ignore Bai Langjun, but he left on his own, and there's no evidence that he was targeted by criminals, so there's no reason for us to go looking for him in a big way.

So, you can ask someone to draw a few portraits of Bai Langjun, and bribe a few homeless people to go look for him secretly. He has to take part in the imperial examination, and he doesn't have much money, so he can't go too far. It's very likely that he has temporarily rented a house on the edge of the outer city, or simply hid in a village outside the city."

Jingzhao Prefecture is very busy now, and it is impossible for Jingzhao Prefecture to free up too many manpower for this uncertain possibility.

Feng Dali responded and turned around to do his work in a hurry.

On the way back to Manyifang, Su Liuyue went over the case again carefully.

She has done everything she can do now, and can only wait for good results.

Bai He's whereabouts were discovered two days later.

That day was the last day of Manyifang's opening event. The bustle in front of Manyifang's door did not decrease, but became more and more lively day by day. Although as Su Liuyue had expected, there were more people causing trouble in the last two days, and their methods were more sophisticated, but fortunately, Manager Yuan had made thorough preparations, so everything went smoothly.

All the pastries on the last day were sold out in advance, and they successfully completed the five-day opening period. Their reputation as Man Yifang was also thoroughly established, and they had successfully taken the first step.

Su Liuyue was very satisfied, and called everyone together. He raised his hand and said proudly, "Everyone has worked hard these past few days. I have booked a private room in Xingyue Building. After everyone has cleaned up the store, we will go to Xingyue Building to celebrate. You can order whatever you want to eat. Today is my treat!"

Xingyue Tower is one of the largest restaurants in Xinjing, so its prices are naturally among the highest as well.

Everyone had never had the chance to eat at a place like that before, and they were so excited that their faces turned red. They cheered excitedly, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to be swept away. Su Liuyue was looking at them with a smile, but suddenly Feng Dali's voice came from outside the door, "Su Xiaolangjun, Su Xiaolangjun!"

Su Liuyue turned around and saw his slightly happy expression. She quickly walked over and asked, "Do you know Bai He's whereabouts?"

"Yes!"

Feng Dali said: "One of the street kids I found has been active in a village called Quting Village outside the city for a long time. He just came to tell me that he saw Bai He in a yard in Quting Village.

I was just about to leave town to visit the village, so I came to ask Mr. Su if he wanted to go with me."

Su Liuyue thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Bai He was the one she wanted to investigate, and now that she knew his whereabouts, she had to go and see him in person.

Moreover, if he was really being targeted by criminals, some clues might be found at the scene.

She immediately called Xue Lingwan out and asked her to help entertain the people who had been working there for the past few days. The money for the meals would be paid from the public account, and she would come back as soon as possible. She then called a carriage and went out of the city with Feng Dali.

Quting Village was not far from the city. The carriage arrived there in less than a quarter of an hour after leaving the city.

However, as soon as she arrived in the village, she realized something was wrong.

It was evening now, and the villagers should have been having dinner at home. However, what Su Liuyue saw was that the village was full of villagers running somewhere anxiously, and some of them were shouting as they ran -

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

"Is it the yard that Old Wu's family rented out at the end of the village? Oh my god, the person living there is a future government official!"

"Hey, stop talking nonsense, it's more important to put out the fire!"

Su Liuyue and Feng Dali immediately looked at each other, and they both quickly raised their legs and followed the group of villagers to run to the end of the village.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Su Liuyue's face still darkened completely when he saw the burning house.

Her hunch was right!
But, this shouldn't happen! Why would the murderer choose Bai He? Could it be that their previous speculation about the murderer's criteria for selecting victims was wrong? !
What about Bai He? Can he be saved?
If he died, my third cousin would definitely be devastated again...

Just as Su Liuyue was having a mess of thoughts, Feng Dali's voice came from not far away, "Young Master Su! Bai He is here! He's been rescued!"

Su Liuyue seemed to be pulled back to reality all of a sudden, and she hurriedly ran over to the sound. When she saw Bai He lying on the ground, she couldn't help but gasp.

But I saw that half of the body of the originally gentle and handsome student was burned and bloody. He was rolling on the ground in pain, shouting something in pain and hatred.

He survived, but the way he looked now was simply worse than death.
