"Which of your eyes saw me sneaking around? I am clearly approaching you openly and honestly!"
Zhao Zichen finally caught his breath and straightened up. "But you, in broad daylight, are so highly strung. What kind of guilty deed are you up to? ... Huh? Have you been drinking?"
"Yes!" Feng Qingyuan replied awkwardly, his gaze darting away. He noticed Zhao Zichen's eyes flickering, as if he were calculating something. " elder Feng, stop right there!"
"What is it?" Feng Qingyuan asked, frowning in confusion.
"Where did you just come from?" Zhao Zichen fixed his gaze on him, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Feng Qingyuan paused slightly before answering leisurely, "Wangyue Tower!"
"And before going to Wangyue Tower? Jing Xia said you've been busy with the The Shape-Shifting Silver Wolf case lately, waiting for something to happen. Any progress?" Zhao Zichen pressed on, concern lacing his tone.
Feng Qingyuan glanced at him, thinking to himself that they were in a public place with many people around, making it unsuitable to discuss such confidential matters. So he said, "Do we really have to talk about this in the street?"
"Then let's go back to Wangyue Tower and chat while we eat!"
Zhao Zichen said this with his usual charming smile, casually placing his hand on Feng Qingyuan's shoulder to appear friendly. He waved at Er Gouzi, who was staring in shock at the returning Feng Qingyuan. "Waiter, bring us some signature dishes! I won't leave until I'm drunk today with you and Constable Feng!"
Even Feng Qingyuan, who was usually slow on the uptake, could tell that Zhao Zichen had something important to discuss. He didn't refuse and followed Zhao Zichen back to the recently cleaned window seat.
"Alright, tell me how the case is progressing," Zhao Zichen said, not waiting for Feng Qingyuan to speak before adding, "Let me remind you not to hide anything from me. Jing Xia came crying to me this morning, saying she suspects you’ve been disguised by someone and insisted I go to Provincial Government Office to rescue you! You know my character well; it's hard for me to refuse Jing Xia's request. So if you don't want me to hold you back, you'd better tell me everything as it is!"
Feng Qingyuan's brows furrowed into a deep line, and he sighed helplessly, "That girl... This is what I fear most about her!"
"You, my friend, are good at everything except for always wanting to bear everything alone!" Zhao Zichen said as he picked up the wine jug and poured a cup for him. "Do you know what brothers and lovers are for in this world?"
At Zhao Zichen's words, Feng Qingyuan's posture suddenly straightened. He looked into Zhao Zichen's eyes, where a mix of emotions flashed—surprise, gratitude, and a hint of hesitation.
"The matter of The Shape-Shifting Silver Wolf isn't something you're worried about alone. Actually, before I came to Jin Yang, I left my personal shadow guard in the capital to secretly investigate The Shape-Shifting Silver Wolf's background. Guess what? It turns out that The Shape-Shifting Silver Wolf was actually a shadow guard for the Former Emperor! And the first case he committed back then was... it was the case of Princess Niyang!"
"Princess Niyang?" Feng Qingyuan was taken aback, vague memories of the princess surfacing in his mind. "Isn't she the one who died young and was deeply favored by the Late Emperor?"
"Exactly! But according to Liu Yun—uh, that's my shadow guard—the information gathered from Directorate of Palace Attendants and Ye Ting Bureau suggests that Princess Niyang's death seems to be shrouded in mystery. Moreover, she appeared to have had a close relationship with The Shape-Shifting Silver Wolf... By the way, what's with that sour face of yours lately? Who are you trying to show it to?"
Feng Qingyuan glanced at him, hesitating for a moment before finally speaking in a deep voice, " The Shape-Shifting Silver Wolf is currently at the county office!"
