The Emperor of Hell's Green Plum Pillow She Escaped Again

Chapter 241

Hei Huomian returned to the study and sat down at the desk again. While flipping through the half-finished book, he signaled Jiao Cheng to continue reporting.

"Based on some of his credit card spending records, I found a house rented in his name, but it was provided to a woman." Jiao Cheng's face was calm, without any "You may have guessed who the other party is."

As Jiao Cheng spoke, he took out the "death card" and was about to show the surveillance footage to Hei Huomian, but the other party raised his hand to stop him.

Hei Huomian pulled out a photo from his phone and showed it to Jiao Cheng, asking her to identify it. "If my guess is correct, the one you saw in the surveillance video was her."

Jiao Cheng saw the woman in the photo clearly, nodded and looked at Hei Huo Mian in surprise, "Yes, that's her I saw in the surveillance. So it turns out that you, Emperor Ming, have suspected this person for a long time?"

Hei Huomian did not comment, his eyes fell on the half-rolled scroll in front of him.

Jiao Cheng continued to report:

"I just don't know how Qi Chu and the others got this half of "Meng Meng" in the first place."

"Meng Meng" or "Meng Po Wu Yao" is a collection of information about Meng Po Soup, which was recorded by the second "Meng Po", including the recipe of Meng Po Soup developed by the first generation Meng Po, as well as some improved recipes, etc.

The second "Meng Po" is from the "Jing" family, one of the five major families of "Black, White, Green, Wu and Jing" to which Hei Huomian's mother Jing Youxi belongs. Therefore, she became the Jing family heirloom and was guarded and kept strictly.

When Hei Huomian was young, thanks to the relationship with his mother and uncle, he read the first half of "Meng Meng" in detail.

But I have never read the second half of the volume.

Behind his sunglasses, Hei Huomian's pupils shone with a faint blue-black light, just like the growing contempt in his heart:

It seems that this is the truth behind Shui Ru's sudden escape that year.

Humph, Hao Mianmian, no, maybe I should call you by your real name.

The person who instigated Shui Ru to leave me was most likely that person.

There is another doubt, that is, how did the second half of "Meng Meng" get stolen from the Jing family's strict custody and become hers?

Someone inside the Jing family secretly colluded with her and stole half of the volume?

These can all be investigated slowly. Now is the time to tell Shuiru the truth. After revealing my true identity, I can propose to Shuiru, register, and officially become a legal couple.

Hei Huomian ordered Jiao Cheng to leave, and Hei Zhan Ze, who had been listening, reminded him:

"Huomian, it seems peaceful at this stage, but the more peaceful it is, the more vigilant we must be."

"One of the Thirty-Six Stratagems says: 'Escape by escaping from the shell.'"

Hei Huomian nodded, "Yes, I know. The next thing will probably be 'Ocean's Eleven'."

Hei Zhan Ze glanced at "Meng Meng" on the table and said, "I believe you have a better way to deal with this half volume of the book." After that, he patted his eldest son on the shoulder and left the study.

"Please tell my mother that I will give this half volume of "Meng Meng" to her for safekeeping later." Hei Huomian saw his father off and returned to his desk.

The half volume of "Meng Meng" in front of you is the long-lost second half, which mainly records the method of using Meng Po soup to drive away souls, fix souls, and restore washed away memories.

When they stole the second half of "Meng Meng" in the hope of making Meng Po soup, who should they use it on?

As agreed, Bai Shuiru came to a coffee bar located deep in the alley.

When the coffee bar owner heard that Bai Shuiru was recommended by a regular customer, he immediately and warmly invited her to sit down and specially made a drink for her.

Bai Shuiru watched as a stream of ink-like sticky liquid poured out of the shaker, but quickly became clear in the wine glass in front of her. An inexplicable fragrance wafted into her nose, making her unable to refuse and she had to take a sip.

"Well, 'Awakening from a Dream'."

Bai Shuiru thanked the owner of the coffee bar, and took a sip of the wine from time to time. It tasted bitter but not sweet, and had a spicy taste, with a slightly sour aftertaste, and she kept looking at the time on her watch.

This bastard who is always late! No wonder he is still single!

He should be hung with a hundred time bombs! One will explode if he is one second late!

Just as she drank the last sip of wine, the person she hadn't seen for a while finally arrived.

Wu Chu exchanged glances with the bartender, who immediately poured him a glass of red wine.

Wu Chu held the stem of the glass with his fingers and slowly shook the wine in the glass. He tilted his head to look at Bai Shuiru, "Looking at your face, you seem to be a little troubled recently."

Bai Shuiru was startled and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek, "Is it so obvious?" Finally, she let out a long sigh, lowered her eyes and sipped another glass of "Awakening from a Dream".

Wu Chu tapped the marble tabletop with his index finger, then leaned lazily against the bar with his chin in his hand and looked at his friend. "There is unconcealable worry and worry in his eyes, and even fear and resistance."

"Who dares to bully Hei Huo Mian's woman? Don't think of anyone else."

While they were talking, someone suddenly stepped forward and interrupted, with a coquettish and domineering voice full of disdain, "Hey, you haven't even fled far away yet, and you still have time to get drunk here?"

It was a long-lost yet still familiar voice. Bai Shuiru knew who was coming without even turning around.

Hao Mianmian didn't care that Bai Shuiru didn't want to pay attention to her, she just looked at Wu Chu and made a request:

"Hey handsome guy, can you give me some 'girls only talk time'?"

Wu Chu looked at Bai Shuiru, said, "I'm going to the bathroom," patted her on the shoulder and left.

Hao Mianmian sat down at the seat before Wu Chu and asked the boss for a martini. She only had her thumb and ring finger painted with gold nail polish, and the other three fingers painted with ink-colored nail polish slowly wiped a water mark on the water droplets outside the glass. "Ruru, I don't know who said something to me in front of you that made you no longer trust me. But I think you know that I have always been your good friend. We have accompanied each other through a very happy period of time, right?"

"No one has ever said anything about you in front of me," Bai Shuiru said calmly. She raised her head and drank the wine in the glass, then asked the boss for another glass. "I saw everything with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears." She looked at Hao Mianmian and said word by word:

"No one has wronged you!"

Hao Mianmian sneered and took a sip of martini.

"Do you know? Mu Xian actually found you a long time ago. But he never told you, and he also didn't allow anyone else to tell you."

Hao Mianmian gently touched the ring on Bai Shuiru's left middle finger with her fingertips, "Don't you know that Hei Huomian approached you for a purpose?"

Bai Shuiru felt as if an invisible needle had stabbed her in the heart, but she showed no sign of it and just took a sip of wine in silence.

Hao Mianmian moved closer to Bai Shuiru and lowered her voice, muttering curses like a witch, "You own the soul and spirit of Hei Huomian. Do you remember?"

Bai Shuiru couldn't help but be shocked, "How do you know?" Why did Hao Mianmian link Hei Huomian and Mu Xian together? Could it be that my speculations are all true? !

Hao Mianmian sat up straight with satisfaction, smiled charmingly, and slid her slender fingertips slowly across the rim of the cup, "Now is not the time for you to worry about how I know this. The key is that Hei Huomian, as the Emperor of the Underworld, does not allow others to know his weaknesses, so in order to be absolutely safe, he must prevent any possibility of hurting him."

"Why else do you think Hei Huomian wanted to slander me and make me take the blame so that I would never know his true purpose?" Hao Mianmian gritted her teeth, but her angry expression quickly turned into a sinister calculation, and she stopped there:

"You know that if people in the underworld sincerely love each other and make a love alliance, they will exchange their souls and spirits. Your soul comes from him..."

"You mean...", meaning that Hei Huo Mian will use the 'Soul Oath' to take back...

Bai Shuiru opened her eyes wide and muttered to herself over and over again, suddenly feeling dizzy and fainting on the ground while sweating profusely.

"Meng Po soup, it is indeed Meng Po soup!" A familiar voice exclaimed with satisfaction, and even the sound of the wine glasses being placed on the table was particularly pleasant.

Another voice was somewhat sarcastic, "Otherwise, why do you think I went to so much trouble to get this half volume of Meng Meng?"
