Chapter 1394: The Song Couple (122)

“He’s a scapegoat, the real culprit is cunning and very cautious. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to catch him.” Song Yiyan let the Heavenly Dog carefully distinguish the smell of the black cloth provided by the shop owner’s daughter.

It had been five days since they’d been put under the spell, and it was even earlier on the girl’s side. It was the fabric they’d obtained a week ago, and most of the smell had dissipated.

“It’s all my fault. I’ve offended too many people, I can’t even confirm who the mastermind is.” Situ Sang blamed himself.

His job was very dangerous and he could be killed by his enemies at any moment.

He also paid special attention to protecting his family and himself. He didn’t expect that even though he was so cautious, someone still found an opportunity.

His wife had already advised him to give up his position, but in this industry, it would be even more dangerous after he retired as he would have no rights nor status. In the past, his enemies would pounce on him like mad dogs and bite him.

Therefore, in this industry, once you enter, never think about getting out of it unscathed. Who would have a good ending?

He didn’t care about anything else, he was just afraid that his wife and daughter would be implicated by him.

Now, they were still implicated by him.

“Don’t worry. I will catch him as soon as possible and won’t let Little Sangyu and Sister Shang Yu be in danger.” Song Yiyan said something that was rare for her.

“Thank you.” Situ Xuan looked at them. “I’ll get someone to investigate. We’ll definitely find the mastermind.”

There were no leads and he couldn’t do anything.

Now that he had a clue, it was easy to find someone in his territory. He was afraid that Miss Song would say that the person was no longer here or even in Italy.

Song Yiyan and Ji Xing didn’t have any good ideas. They couldn’t just run around like headless flies, they were hungry and it was morning.

Chinatown over here was pretty crowded, it had the feel of Harbor City in the 1980s and 1990s. The pace was slow, and the side of the road was filled with the kind of small shops that sold food, it was bustling.

They sold Chinese food. Most of the people who came for breakfast were Chinese, and a small number were foreigners.

Song Yiyan saw a breakfast shop in a simple two-story building. It was still early but it was almost full, business was booming.

She ordered a few dishes that she liked and a pot of tea, enjoying the peace and leisure that belonged to the morning.

Sitting opposite them was a couple. The girl was very beautiful and young, she had long straight hair and looked very pure.

The man was a middle-aged man. He was very thin, tall, and had a face full of pockmarks.

Song Yiyan casually glanced at the man and enlarged her sense of smell, but she couldn’t smell anything on him.

But that man was very similar to the person described by the owner of the Chinese medicine shop. She had to pay more attention to him.

The man seemed to notice that she was looking at him. He even nodded at her politely and smiled.

Ji Xing naturally noticed that man too, but he did not find anything strange about him. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, how could it be so easy?

“Waiter, we didn’t order this.” Song Yiyan pointed at the dessert in front of her. “I didn’t order this.”

“Mr. Zhao treated you to soup and shark fin dumplings.” The waiter looked at the pockmarked and gentlemanly tall man and explained, “Mr. Zhao is a regular customer of our restaurant. He is a very good person and will often send our first-time customers tea and snacks.”

Song Yiyan cursed in her heart, there was actually such a person. She nodded at him as a form of thanks.

Mr. Zhao’s girlfriend also smiled and nodded at her. She asked, “This is your first time here, right? You’re here for a holiday? My husband will be like this when he meets someone fated to be with him. Please don’t mind.”

Normally, when a gentleman gave someone tea and snacks, the other party would express their gratitude. However, she looked at the couple opposite her and seemed very calm.

Song Yiyan didn’t expect her to speak and replied politely, “Thank you.”

Mr. Zhao also gave them a faint smile and picked up some tea and snacks for his wife, his every move was very gentle. Other than his face, there was nothing wrong with him.

Song Yiyan tasted the dessert that was given to her, it was not bad and was much better than the one she casually ordered. It was delicious and rich, with a lingering taste.

However, she still felt that there was something strange about that man. She would let Situ Sang catch him later and bring him away quietly so as to avoid alerting the enemy.

Soon, Mr. Zhao and his wife finished eating at the opposite table.

Mr. Zhao got up, handed his wife his coat, and helped her take her bag. He was considerate and meticulous, gentlemanly and caring. Everyone present could not help but cast friendly and envious gazes.

The couple went downstairs together.

Song Yiyan and Ji Xing looked at each other before following behind.

There was an overused wooden staircase in the middle of the stairs. When they reached the middle, the two people in front stopped in their tracks.

Situ Sang had already brought his men over and was just about to go up the stairs.

Mr. Zhao and his wife were stuck in the middle. Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Song Yiyan. His lips curled into a cold smile, and he said in a sinister tone, “You must be their Onmyoji. Nice to meet you.”

Song Yiyan smiled at him. “You must be the bastard who hid behind the scenes and harmed the woman and child!”

“That’s a serious accusation. I’m just conducting a great experiment, they should be honored to be my subjects.” Mr. Zhao was still smiling. “I’d like to know how you discovered me?”

Song Yiyan smiled brightly. “Of course it’s because of the dirty and smelly blood in your body!”

“You didn’t discover me.” Mister Zhao laughed out loud confidently. As he saw Situ Sang and his men about to come up, he suddenly pushed his wife down. “Since you are so powerful, then show me that you can break my curse!”

Thereafter, he jumped down the stairs into the lobby. He was very fast, like the shadow of a ghost.

The people that Situ Sang had set up chased after him from all directions.

Everything happened so suddenly. No one expected him to be so crazy that he could abandon his own wife and escape alone, he was not a gentleman!

No, he was a beast to begin with. He was not even a human, what kind of man was he!

Song Yiyan watched as the man reached the door, he even turned around and grinned at her. His smile was dark and filled with provocation and interest.

She frowned. Could it be that this bastard was targeting little Sangyu and her mother not because of Situ Sang but because of her?
