Yue Lai Inn.
Li Yifeng hurriedly walked into the inn. As the head of the Tiandu Spy base, he had achieved a significant victory this time. Disguised as Shang Jia, he had become "friends" with Zhao Yu, the commander of the Qian Yuan Dynasty's Imperial Guard. Confidential intelligence had been gathered from Zhao Yu right at the dining table. Most notably, he had just stolen the military deployment map of the Qian Yuan Dynasty, which was nothing short of a miracle. He was destined to become a legendary figure in the history of spies.
Lin Fu's urgent message surely indicated that there was more important intelligence to share.
Tian Zi Ding Room.
The door was ajar. Li Yifeng glanced around and quickly stepped inside. It was a high-end guest room; outside was a sitting area, while inside was the bedroom. Li Yifeng did not see Lin Fu but noticed a young and beautiful woman sitting on a chair in the sitting area, dressed in an exquisite silk dress.
"I must have taken a wrong turn," Li Yifeng immediately said.
"Not at all," the woman stood up with a smile, her eyes sparkling. " Boss Lin is in the bedroom."
Li Yifeng's alertness heightened instantly. Lin Fu never allowed a third party to be present during their meetings! It was a trap!
He turned to leave, but it was already too late. Three burly men rushed in and pinned Li Yifeng to the ground.
"What do you want? What do you want?" Li Yifeng struggled desperately.
Su Han walked in leisurely, glanced at Su Yao, and nodded at her.
"Help! Help!" Su Yao suddenly burst into tears, tearing at her collar while pointing at Li Yifeng on the floor and crying out, "This villain barged in and pushed me down, trying to assault me!"
"Let me go! Let me go!" Li Yifeng exhausted his strength, unable to move under the weight of the three men. "This is nonsense! Nonsense!"
Su Han crouched down and declared, "I am Constable of the Tiandu Jingzhaoyin Mansion!" He pointed at Su Yao and asked, "Do you really think a woman would ruin her own reputation to falsely accuse you of such beastly acts? State your name!"
Li Yifeng suddenly understood and felt a sense of calm wash over him. This was a "Beauty Trap." Some Constables would employ such women to set up traps and then extort money ruthlessly. It was likely that Lin Fu had fallen into their hands as well.
Li Yifeng replied, "My name is Chen Liang, a Southern Chu person. I am wronged, truly wronged."
"Wronged? You think just saying you're wronged makes it so? Damn it, do you think we Constables are fools?" Su Han put on a rogue Constable's demeanor. "Bind him up and take him back!"
In no time, Li Yifeng was tightly bound. Su Han waved his hand and ordered, "Let's go!"
As they led him downstairs, the guests in the inn came out to watch, curiously pointing at Li Yifeng. Su Han deliberately raised his voice, "We've caught a villain with ill intentions! Don't look, just move along!"
Li Yifeng wished he could find a hole to hide in. As for Su Han's subordinates, they never expected he would use such a method to capture Li Yifeng!
Su Han called Lin Yu over and whispered, "Immediately conduct a thorough search of Wanbao Trading Company and Li Yifeng's residence!"
"State your name!"
Li Yifeng realized he had been tricked. Like Lin Fu, he never imagined that this group calling themselves "Constables" were actually the dark guards of Royal Confidential Office. Now, all he could do was grit his teeth and ensure he did not reveal his true identity: "I already told you, my name is Chen Liang, a Southern Chu person here in Tiandu for business."
