“But it’s raining so heavily, so we can’t go around Lu City to take a look!” Luo

Cheng reminded.

“It’s fine. At most, we’ll stay here for a few more days! We’re tired from the journey today, so let’s eat something and rest in the inn! Tomorrow, when the rain is lighter, we’ll walk around in the rain with an umbrella. That’ll be quite enjoyable as well!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Xiaoran was open-minded, Luo Cheng didn’t say anything else.

Luo Cheng went downstairs and asked the waiter to prepare some food, then he brought it up.

After eating, they took a shower and lay down to sleep.

However, sometimes, things didn’t always go as planned.

Sometimes, trouble just had to come knocking on one’s door.

The couple was sleeping soundly at midnight.

At this moment, the rain outside was getting heavier and showed no signs of stopping.

At this moment, a man in black was fleeing in the rain. Not far behind, a large group of soldiers chased after him.

Later, the man in black climbed over the wall and entered an inn.

Just then, a bolt of lightning came and illuminated the sign of the inn: Yuelai Inn.

Luo Cheng was a vigilant person to begin with. Even though there was a thunderstorm outside, he still sensed the commotion outside immediately. After standing up, Luo Cheng closed the window that Li Xiaoran had opened.

The rain was getting heavier.

Before he could get into bed, he heard the noisy voices of the soldiers outside.

With a frown, Luo Cheng quickly lay on the bed before returning to sleep. Before long, hurried footsteps sounded. The soldiers actually surrounded the inn.

At this moment, some soldiers were searching every room.

Li Xiaoran was also disturbed by the commotion outside and felt a little listless.

“Husband, what’s going on outside?”

“I don’t know, but they seem to be searching for someone! Wife, since you’re awake, put on a shirt quickly. I think those soldiers will come to us later!” Luo Cheng thought of something and reminded her.

Li Xiaoran nodded and yawned as she got up to put on a shirt.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Luo Cheng quickly walked over and opened the door, then looked at the person outside. “We’re under orders to search for a suspect. Don’t get in our way!” When Luo Cheng heard this, he came to Li Xiaoran’s side.

Li Xiaoran was really sleepy, so she simply leaned against Luo Cheng’s shoulder and closed her eyes to sleep again.

The leader looked around the room, then turned to look at Luo Cheng.

“Did you see anyone suspicious come in?”

Luo Cheng shook his head and said, “We traveled all day. After we arrived at the inn today, we ate something and fell asleep. It was only when you guys came that we woke up!”

When the man heard Luo Cheng’s words, he sized him up, but didn’t find anything suspicious.

At that moment, the other searchers searched the room, but there was no one else.

“Let’s go!” Seeing that there was nothing to be found, the leader immediately searched the next room.

After sending them away, Li Xiaoran was really sleepy, so she lay on the bed and fell asleep again.

When Luo Cheng saw that Li Xiaoran had fallen asleep, he was amused.

“You’re really quite carefree. You can even fall asleep in such a situation. I’m impressed!”

Li Xiaoran’s carefree actions expressed her complete trust in Luo Cheng.

After blowing out the candle, Luo Cheng continued to lie down and sleep with Li Xiaoran.

It was already the next morning when Li Xiaoran opened her eyes again. At this moment, Luo Cheng was no longer beside her. Li Xiaoran sat up and put on her clothes.

Just as she was wondering if she should go out and look for Luo Cheng, he returned with the waiter.

“I guessed that you had woken up. Hurry up and wash your face! I’ll ask the chef to make you a bowl of noodles. I guarantee you’ll like it!” Luo Cheng walked over with a smile.

Li Xiaoran smiled, then she quickly washed her face and rinsed her mouth.

Just as she finished washing up, the waiter brought it up.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng ate a bowl each.

At this moment, the window was open, so Li Xiaoran looked out.

“Sigh, I really jinxed things. The rain hasn’t stopped even until now!”

“That’s right! It seems that we’re really going to experience what it’s like to wander in the rain today!” Luo Cheng teased.

Li Xiaoran smiled and continued eating.

After she finished the bowl, she accidentally saw something and her expression changed.

After standing up, Li Xiaoran walked towards the window.

Seeing that Li Xiaoran’s reaction was a little strange, Luo Cheng followed.

“Wife, what are you looking at?”

Li Xiaoran tilted her head and looked around again.

“Husband, did you see that? There’s something wrong with this tile opposite our window! I keep feeling like there’s something under that tile!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he looked where she was pointing.

As expected, that place was indeed a little different from the surroundings. Before Luo Cheng could say anything, the waiter knocked on the door.

“Sir, are you done? I’m coming in to clear the dishes!” Luo Cheng pulled Li Xiaoran away from the window.

“We’re done. Come in!”

When the waiter heard this, he immediately walked in to clear the dishes.

“What happened last night? Was the suspect caught?” Luo Cheng began to ask.

Li Xiaoran also remembered what had happened last night and pricked up her ears to listen.

“Don’t mention it. How troublesome! Yesterday, the soldiers barged in and insisted that a suspect had entered our inn, so they searched for him. In the end, there was no sign of him. The soldiers didn’t find him, but they didn’t leave and are still staying here,” the waiter said gloomily.

“Huh? The soldiers didn’t leave? Didn’t many of them come? Can the inn accommodate them all?” Li Xiaoran asked in surprise.

Although she had been sleepy last night, her empathic abilities had always been very strong.

There were clearly many soldiers yesterday. How could the inn accommodate so many people?

“I didn’t make it clear. Most of the people have left, but more than ten people stayed! I think they think that the suspect is still in our inn and plan to wait for him! Even if the suspect comes in, he can quickly get out! The inn is small, so there are only a few places where people can hide. If they can’t find him, he must have run away!” The waiter explained as he cleaned up..
