The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Capítulo 1568: Chapter 1568: Playing the Part to the Fullest

However, to confirm, Hao Dingshan decided to go to Liufang Alley to verify.

So, without waiting for Zhao Xi and Xia Yan to come out, Hao Dingshan and his companion headed straight to Liufang Alley.

At the entrance of the alley, they indeed saw a horse parked at the door of the Meng family. At a glance, it was clear it didn’t belong to an ordinary family, indicating that the Meng family had a guest.

Hao Dingshan did not rush forward, instead, he stayed near to keep watch.

Not long after, they saw Zhao Xi and Xia Yan hurriedly returning. After they entered, Hao Dingshan slowly approached the Meng family pretending to be just passing by.

But it wasn’t as convenient here as it was at the medical center, it was still too difficult to hear what was being said inside.

Just as Hao Dingshan was frowning in thought, a raised harsh voice suddenly came from inside, “…the person left, then go chase them, do you know…”

The rest of the words were clearly suppressed. Wasn’t the person speaking someone from the government office?

No more words reached Hao Dingshan’s ears.

Feeling somewhat anxious yet helpless, the more crucial the moment, the more Hao Dingshan had to remain calm.

Fortunately, not long after, the door of the Meng family opened, and a man with a cold demeanor and unsatisfied expression came out.

Hao Dingshan squinted his eyes, “That person indeed seems to be someone from beside Lord Fei.”

Prefect Fei used to be in the capital, and Hao Dingshan was somewhat familiar with the people frequently around him.

After this person exited, he untied the horse tethered at the door and led it out of the alley.

Seeing him approach, Hao Dingshan hurriedly lowered his head, but as the man passed by, he could still sense the strong anger exuding from him.

It seemed the other party did not get the result they wanted here.

After the person left, Hao Dingshan discreetly looked towards the Meng family, where Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi stood at the door with somewhat heavy expressions, appearing a bit worried.

After a moment, Meng Yunzheng patted Zhao Xi on the shoulder, and the two turned and went back inside.

The person next to Hao Dingshan asked him, “What do we do now?”

“Go find out if Old Doctor Zhao has really left Jiangyuan County. As for me…” He paused, squinting his eyes as he said, “I’ll head to the prefecture to see what’s happening. If it’s true, we’ll rush back to the capital. This time, we might achieve a great merit.”

“Okay.” The other person became a bit excited, “I’ll go find out now.”

The two parted ways, and Hao Dingshan quickly headed towards the prefecture.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi had already started drinking tea, showing none of the earlier tension.

“Do you think our plan will succeed?”

Meng Yunzheng said, “If it involves the Emperor, even if Hao Dingshan has some suspicions, he will definitely return to the capital to report. If it’s true, with his nature, he won’t want to miss out on such a great achievement.”

“Now, it depends on the situation over in the capital.”

The situation in the capital is certainly more severe than here, with the Emperor having to face the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Xiao family. Hopefully, no mistakes will occur.

If everything goes smoothly, they might really be able to catch them all in one go this time.

“What more do we have to do now?” Zhao Xi asked.

Meng Yunzheng shook his head, “There’s nothing more to be done. For realism, Lord Fei will likely send people to the southwest to ‘search’ for Old Doctor Zhao. Isn’t Yu’s shop opening tomorrow? I’ll go to the prefecture to find her and inform her of the news from the capital, so she won’t worry. I’ll leave matters at home to you.”
