The banquet was just an excuse. If they didnt know, then this intention… It’s very likely that they want to find out who we are.”
When the black-robed man heard the masked man’s analysis, his heart skipped a beat. He said, “Milord, how could they know about our plan? Moreover, even if they wanted to find out who our people are, there’s no other way.”
The black-robed man said that he didn’t know and quickly asked questions. He didn’t want the masked man to think too much about this question.
The masked man chuckled and said, “”Have you forgotten that Xu Bai cultivates many things? He also cultivates the art of binding paper. This profession is extremely strange. There are many things in it.”
Surveillance?
The black-robed man was slightly stunned.” Sir, you mean that the other party might use this reason to deceive all of our people and then take advantage of the time when everyone is gone to place paper figurines in various families?””
The masked man nodded, indicating that it was true.
“Then what should we do?” the black-robed man asked hesitantly.”
“Since they want to hold a banquet, just go. If you don’t go, you’ll be exposed.””lt’s just a banquet,” the masked man said.”How long can it last?” After the banquet ended, there was no harm in capturing the commoners. I don’t need it. I’ve already laid out a plan. It’s useless to monitor them. They’re still a step too late.”
At this point, the masked man’s voice turned cold.”Also, keep an eye on the government office and see who went out to set up the paper figurines.” His meaning was obvious. He didn’t care about Xu Bai’s plan.
“Then this subordinate will inform them and let them act cautiously.”The black-robed man hurriedly said respectfully.
The masked man nodded and did not say anything else. He let the black-robed man go.
The black-robed man did not stay and left very quickly.
After leaving the room, the black-robed man followed the masked man’s instructions.
After everything was settled, he thought about it again and gritted his teeth. He decided not to spread this information.
The masked man had said that there were two possibilities. If he was still thinking about the first possibility and thought that Xu Bai might know his intention, then he would be in danger.
For now, he could not be exposed. He was the last plan.
“I hope you can understand.” The black-robed man secretly broke out in cold sweat.
Tonight was a very lively night in Yunlai Mansion.
There was no other reason than the fact that the Ye Family had invited all the big and small families in the Yunlai Mansion.
The largest restaurant in Yunlai Mansion was already filled to the brim. The people here were all wealthy people dressed in extraordinary clothes.
Regarding the Ye family, those who were in the industry were also clear about it.
Since the death of the Ye family’s master, the First Madam had been in charge. Everyone had their own ideas about the banquet.
It was nothing more than to gain connections after taking power.
Of course, many families could tell, but it didn’t matter. After all, connections were mutual.
There were also some people in these families who had different thoughts, but on the surface, there was nothing unusual.
At this moment, the Ye family was bustling with people. Cheers and noise rose and fell, making it a lively scene.
But on the other side, the government office of Yunlai Mansion was deserted.
It was as dark as water, silent and boundless.
Xu Bai sat on a chair and looked at the oil lamp on the table.
The oil lamp flickered.
“Time’s up.” Xu Bai snapped his fingers.
A man in black walked out from the corner of the wall.
Her movements were agile, and her walking posture was extremely similar to Xu Bai’s.
When the paper man in black walked to Xu Bai, he bent down slightly.
Xu Bai took off the Ghost Head Blade from his waist and wrapped it with a black cloth, leaving only its outline. He placed it on the paper figurine’s waist.
After everything was done, the paper man opened the door and walked into the night.
There was no one in the room. Xu Bai hid in the dark and watched the paper figurine leave. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Outside the government office, in a dark street, there was a man in black standing quietly.
Suddenly, the paper figurine walked out of the gate of the government office, attracting the attention of the men in black.
The man in black was slightly surprised. Then, he reacted and his body moved slightly.
The color on his body was gradually fading. In an instant, he turned into the same color as his surroundings and quietly followed behind the paper man.
The streets were quiet. Other than the Ye family’s residence, the other places were still as quiet and deserted as usual.
The paper man walked until he reached a building.
The decoration of the building was very grand. Just the stone lion outside the door showed the wealth of this family.
The paper figurine jumped up and quickly climbed over the wall.
In the darkness, the air distorted, and the black-robed man appeared again. Looking in the direction where the paper figurine had left, he took out a messenger pigeon and threw it into the sky.
The carrier pigeon left his hand and gradually disappeared.
“As expected by Milord, they want to seize the time and place surveillance items everywhere.”
The man in black muttered and quickly left the street.
The carrier pigeon flew all the way, but it wasn’t far.
In a hidden alley, the masked man grabbed the carrier pigeon and removed the letter from its leg.
When he saw the contents on it, he was slightly stunned before he reacted.
“He really left? That would be a great opportunity.” the masked man muttered to himself.
He was a little conflicted about whether to do it or not.
But after hesitating for a while, the masked man finally made a decision..
