Chapter 647: Chapter 647

Long Yubei glanced at the text message and nodded, indicating he understood.

Indeed, the green figure Gu Lili had seen was none other than Chun Ci.

Her beautiful visage showing up here would inevitably attract the gaze of both men and women.

As though accustomed to such attention, Chun Ci appeared very composed.

The person dining with her was a man.

To be precise, a tall and well-built man.

Gu Lili felt like she had seen him somewhere before.

But she couldn’t remember where.

Gu Lili withdrew her gaze and continued to eat.

Two bottles of beer—Long Yubei had drunk them all by himself; Gu Lili was driving, so she hadn’t touched any.

By the time they had finished eating and drinking, snow had blanketed everything outside.

When Gu Lili glanced casually at the next table, she caught Chun Ci and the unfamiliar man both watching Long Yubei.

Chun Ci smiled at her as if nothing was amiss when she noticed Gu Lili looking and then turned her head away.

The two of them stood up almost simultaneously, and at that moment, Gu Lili caught sight of a crescent-shaped red birthmark on the man’s right hand.

She herself had been stabbed in the heart by a masked assassin while borrowing Ding Xiang’s body at Rong Xiuxiu’s place, not to mention having her throat slit. The assassin was this very man!

Who exactly were these two people?

It wasn’t until Gu Lili and Long Yubei were outside the restaurant that she quietly shared this revelation with him.

"Absolutely certain, I couldn’t have mistaken it."

Long Yubei’s expression darkened in an instant, and he said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, I’m going to kill him right now."

"Don’t," Gu Lili held him back, "Don’t act rashly yet. We don’t know how strong that woman is in her cultivation. If they’re together and she escapes, she will definitely cause trouble. Besides, this is a public place. As long as he’s alive, is there any fear he won’t die eventually? Just now, I saw them looking at you, and I got the feeling that they recognized you."

Long Yubei wrapped his arm around her as they walked, "So what if they recognized me? Now, quite a few people know my identity in the mortal world."

The two got into the car, with Long Yubei sitting in the passenger seat.

The snow had covered the car, concealing its original appearance, serving as a sort of camouflage.

They did not leave immediately but chatted in the car.

Gentle piano music played softly, the heater was on, and Long Yubei had taken off his coat. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N()velFire.net

Because the lights inside the car were off, the outside looked brighter and clearer.

Approximately fifteen minutes later, Chun Ci and the man came out of the restaurant.

Gu Lili noticed that Chun Ci was walking in front, with the man following behind.

Like a subordinate of sorts.

There was always a certain distance between the two as they walked.

Reaching an orange vehicle, Chun Ci opened the driver’s door, and the man settled into the back seat.

This almost 70% confirmed that the two of them were either in a master-servant relationship, or Chun Ci held a higher status than the man.

In any case, they were not lovers or friends.

Once their car drove away, Long Yubei said, "Follow them."

Gu Lili started the engine and followed.

Completely unaware that someone was tailing them, the pair in front did not suspect a thing since the streets were crowded with too many cars at this time, and Gu Lili’s car was inconspicuous.

The car stopped at Emperor Palace.

They got out and went straight in, followed by Long Yubei and Gu Lili getting out of their car.

This was a property of Shen Congmo; Long Yubei led Gu Lili to the surveillance room.

In fact, every private room in Emperor Palace was equipped with hidden cameras, though customers would never find out.
