Chapter 1389: A small inn on the border
Shi Li knew Xu Su's identity and background, so she was not worried at all about her and Zhou Lingyu and their group going out.
On the contrary, she felt that the one who should be worried was Zhou Lingyu.
Yuan Shang had previously revealed a few words that Xu Su was one of the most brutal people in their organization. Anyone who could be described as brutal by Yuan Shang must be extraordinary.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, whether it was the people in the inn or Zhou Lingyu and his group of outsiders, everyone fell into a deep sleep.
A figure appeared stealthily near the kitchenette.
He first tried pushing the kitchen door, but it was obviously locked tightly.
So he changed his target and looked at a pile of hay and firewood in the corner.
There is limited space in the kitchen, so the hay and firewood are used for making fire and can be taken anytime.
That's the real goal for tonight.
He took out the tinder he had prepared long ago from his arms, looked around anxiously, and made sure that everything around him was quiet. Then he threw the tinder on the hay, turned around and hid in a hurry.
The tinder set the haystack on fire, thick smoke slowly rose up, and then the firewood was ignited and the fire grew bigger and bigger.
Thick smoke was everywhere, pouring into the inn and into every room.
The sleeping people were awakened one after another, shouting and looking for the fire, and then began to put out the fire with buckets of water.
The incident happened suddenly and everyone was busy. The shouts and the hurried footsteps of people trying to put out the fire were a chaotic mess.
However, the crimson touch on the skirt is still very obvious. As the proprietress of the inn, Shi Li must be the most anxious one when the inn catches fire.
At this time, no one noticed that someone did not put out the fire, but instead took advantage of the chaos to walk into the inn and hurriedly went up to the second floor holding the stairs.
He walked to Shi Li's bedroom door and saw that it was ajar. He became even more certain that his plan was flawless and he couldn't wait to reach out and push the door open.
There was no light in the room, only a faint moonlight shining in from the window, falling on the ground and on Shi Li.
She sat lazily on the edge of the bed with her hair loose, looking like she had just woken up, and blinked her eyes.
"Miss Tang, you came to see me so late, what's the matter?"
Tang Rouzhi hadn't even had time to put down her hand that was pushing the door. Her pupils were filled with horror. She looked at Shi Li in disbelief, with a hint of murderous intent.
But before it could spread, he felt another stronger murderous intent appearing beside him, and was shocked to find that Yuan Shang was also here.
He stood behind the door, looking at her with a smile.
Although he has a handsome face, murderous aura comes from his smile.
"I...there was a fire outside, and I didn't see the boss's wife, so I came here to tell you." Tang Rouzhi lied awkwardly, her heart in a panic.
This statement was full of loopholes, but Shi Li seemed to believe it and nodded slightly.
"I see. You've worked really hard. But I already know about the fire. Go and help put it out. If the fire spreads to the small kitchen, Susu will be heartbroken."
Tang Rouzhi nodded and took a step back at a loss. Seeing that Shi Li and Yuan Shang really had no intention of pursuing the matter any further, she walked out with mixed feelings.
Her footsteps gradually faded away. Yuan Shang looked at the footprints left on the ground, and then looked at Shi Li who was so sleepy that she could only yawn.
"Are you going to let her go so easily?"
"if not?"
Shi Li laughed. The faint moonlight seemed to cover her with a layer of gauze. "Do we have to tear her apart and then let the other party replace her with a smart person?"
In fact, Tang Rouzhi's tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west today could not be considered stupid. It was just that when she first appeared, Shi Li did not think she was an ordinary person, so he never let his guard down.
Yuan Shang choked, and after thinking about it, it seemed that what Shi Li said did make sense, but he still refused to forgive her, "You are so lazy."
"I'm not lazy... I don't want to cause any trouble when my brother is not at home."
Shi Li yawned again, walked to the window, and saw that the fire outside had been almost put out.
"I have to say that the people Zhou Lingyu brought were quite useful in putting out the fire, and Su Su looks really good in her red dress. I'm so sleepy... I'm going to sleep."
Yuan Shang looked at Shi Li with an indescribable look, held back and said nothing, then walked out of her bedroom in silence.
She dared to slack off and sleep, but he dared not take it lightly.
I still say that if this woman loses a few more hairs, Big Brother won't be able to explain when he comes back, which is definitely more terrifying than her complaining in person...
