illicit relationship

After Lan Ruoxi reached the front yard, she pretended to be looking for the spy.

'What should I do to meet Jie Ai?'

In order to carry out the next plan, Lan Ruoxi had to meet Jie Ai. However, because Bei Fenshui was following her, she had to be careful so that he would not be suspicious of her later.

'Should I change the plan?'

Lan Ruoxi suddenly wanted to change the plan.

'Forget it. I will go to the storage building now. I hope Jie Ai knows what she has to do later.'

When Lan Ruoxi reached the storage building, she saw Jie Ai walking in circles in front of the storage building.

'If I change the plan now, can she cooperate with me? Will she understand what to do later?'

Currently, Lan Ruoxi was hiding near the storage building. She pretended as if she was suspecting Jie Ai as a spy.

At this moment, Bei Fenshui was hiding not far from Lan Ruoxi.

'Why is she looking at Jie Ai? Is she suspecting Jie Ai as a spy?'

Bei Fenshui suddenly thought that Lan Ruoxi was suspecting Jie Ai as a spy.

Jie Ai then took her phone out of her pocket. Like before, she was still walking in circles.

'Why hasn't Lady Crystal seen me yet?'

Jie Ai was waiting for Lan Ruoxi because Xiao Tian told her that Lan Ruoxi would come to see her later.

Xiao Tian also said to her that Lan Ruoxi was skilled in martial arts and could protect her from Jufan and the others.

Bei Fenshui, who was looking at Jie Ai, started suspecting her of being a spy because of her weird behavior.

'Don't tell me….'

The longer he saw Jie Ai, the more he suspected that she was a spy because she made a lot of suspicious behavior.

He wanted to drag Jie Ai to his Shifu immediately but decided against it because he wanted to know what Lan Ruoxi would do.

Lan Ruoxi was unhappy now.

'Will she be able to tell right away what to do if I change the plan now?'

Lan Ruoxi was worried that Jie Ai would destroy the plan.

'Wait!'

Lan Ruoxi suddenly found two excellent ideas.

'There are two options now. Which one should I use?'

In her first plan, Lan Ruoxi would immediately walk towards Jie Ai and ask lots of questions as if she was suspecting Jie Ai as a spy. With this, Lan Ruoxi could make Bei Fenshui think of Jie Ai as a spy as well.

As for her second plan, she would go back to the private room to meet Jufan and the others. She would tell them that she was suspecting Jie Ai as a spy.

'I think the first plan is better. However, I'm afraid that she will ruin everything later because I'm sure she has no idea that someone is following me now.'

Lan Ruoxi then chose the second plan because she was afraid that Jie Ai would ruin everything.

Bei Fenshui, who saw Lan Ruoxi leaving, was startled. Previously, he thought Lan Ruoxi would ask Jie Ai many questions, but he was wrong.

Bei Fenshui took one last glance at Jie Ai before following Lan Ruoxi again.

-----

"Oh! You have returned?!" Yahui was surprised when he saw Lan Ruoxi entering the private room.

'Haha. As I thought, she didn't manage to catch the spy.'

Yahui thought Lan Ruoxi gave up on catching the spy.

Like Yahui, Jufan and Shuren also thought that Lan Ruoxi had giving up on catching the spy. That was why she returned to the private room immediately.

Of course, Lan Ruoxi knew what they had in mind. But she still behaved normally. "Grandmasters, I'm suspecting someone."

Jufan and the others were stunned.

"Oh! Who is it?" Yahui inquired.

"I don't know her name, but she has…" Lan Ruoxi began describing Jie Ai's appearance.

"Jie Ai?" Yahui found it hard to believe what he was hearing. Because Jie Ai was not a martial artist, he was sure that she was not the spy. "Are you sure?"

"I'm not one hundred percent sure, but her behavior was suspicious earlier." Lan Ruoxi replied, "That's why I want to ask her some questions. Can you bring her here?"

"Crystal, you're not playing around, are you?" Jufan also knew that Jie Ai was not a martial artist, so he was doubting her words.

Because Yahui and his disciples had never been successful in catching the spy, he was sure that the spy was a martial art expert. It would be impossible for Yahui and his disciples not to have succeeded in catching the spy if the spy was not a martial artist.

"That's why I want to ask her some questions first because I'm not one hundred percent sure." Lan Ruoxi responded. "We will know everything later."

"Alright." Yahui thought there was no harm with investing Jie Ai. That was why he agreed with her idea. "Bei Fenshui."

Bei Fenshui instantly entered the private room. "Do you need anything, Shifu?"

"Bring Jie Ai here." Yahui went straight to the point.

"Understood." Bei Fenshui answered before walking out of the private room.

Not long after that, Bei Fenshui returned to the private room with Jie Ai.

"Grandmaster Yahui, do you need anything?" at first, Jie Ai was scared because she thought Yahui and the others knew that she had poisoned them.

However, when she saw Lan Ruoxi, she was relieved because Xiao Tian had told her that Lan Ruoxi would protect her later. Xiao Tian said to her that she just needed to cooperate with whatever Lan Ruoxi did later.

Instead of answering Jie Ai's question, Yahui turned his head towards Lan Ruoxi and spoke, "You can ask her many questions now."

"Thank you, grandmaster Yahui." Lan Ruoxi then turned around to face Jie Ai. "Mrs. Jie, can you tell me what you did in the last six days?"

"I worked here every day. After that, I went home and spent time with my family." Even though Jie Ai was surprised that Lan Ruoxi didn't do everything as they planned, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Really?" Lan Ruoxi's expression changed as if she was telling Jie Ai through her face that she didn't believe Jie Ai's words. "Let me tell you something. Just now, I tried to find the spy and saw you in front of the storage building with a suspicious behavior. I suspect that you are the spy who leaked our plan to Xiao Tian."

"No!" Jie Ai denied instantly before looking at Yahui. "Grandmaster Yahui, I'm not the spy. I swear. Grandmaster, you have been treating me very well, so there is no way I will betray you. To me, you are the savior of my life. Without you, my family and I would have starved to death."

"Then, tell me why did you behave suspiciously in front of the storage building earlier?" Even though Lan Ruoxi suspected Jie Ai as a spy, Yahui still believed that the spy was not her. That was why he still behaved normally.

"Last night, I…I…" Jie Ai pretended as if she could not finish her words.

"I what?" Lan Ruoxi was pleased when Jie Ai didn't ruin their plan.

Jie Ai took her phone out of her pocket and gave it to Yahui. "Grandmaster Yahui, I have something to tell you, but I'm afraid to do that. That's why I….I…"

When Yahui saw the photo on Jie Ai's phone, his expression instantly changed. He gritted his teeth and clenched his left fist.

'Jianghe!'

Yahui was furious when he saw the photo on Jie Ai's phone. In the image, Xiao Tian was giving Jianghe a lot of money. From the picture, anyone could tell that the spy was none other than his disciple.

'No. This is lie! This is not true.'

Jianghe was one of his most trusted disciples. That was why he tried to deny that Jianghe was the spy. However, no matter how many times he wanted to deny it, he couldn't refute the evidence in his right hand.

"Yahui, what's wrong?" Jufan was surprised when he saw Yahui's expression.

"Yes. Tell us, what's wrong?" Shuren wanted to know the reason why Yehui was suddenly furious.

"Here." Yahui gave Jie Ai's phone to Shuren.

"Jianghe?!" like Yahui, Jufan and Shuren were also enraged.

Of course, they knew who Jianghe was because Jianghe was one of Ryu martial arts school instructors, and they had met him many times.

Shuren then looked at Jie Ai and inquired, "When did you take this picture?"

"Last night." Jie Ai responded, "When I was about to go home, I accidentally saw them. Because I know that grandmaster Yahui has enmity with Xiao Tian, I immediately took their picture."

Lan Ruoxi, who saw their expressions, was pleased. From their faces, she knew that their plan almost successful.

"Why didn't you tell us immediately?" Jufan inquired.

"Instructor Jianghe is one of grandmaster Yahui's trusted disciples, so I don't know what to do." Jie Ai replied, "I don't want grandmaster Yahui to think that I have bad intentions."

"Is this the reason why you behaved suspiciously earlier?" Lan Ruoxi inquired.

Jie Ai turned her head towards Lan Ruoxi and nodded her head. "Yes. I didn't know how to tell grandmaster Yahui about this earlier."

Lan Ruoxi then looked at Yahui and asked, "Grandmaster Yahui, what are you going to do now?"

Yahui didn't answer instantly because he had no idea what to do.

"Yahui, I know what you feel, but we have to call Jianghe here now." Jufan uttered

After taking a deep breath, Yahui turned his head towards Bei Fenshui and spoke, "Bring Jianghe here now."

"Understood." Bei Fenshui responded before walking out of the private room.
