CHAPTER 595: CHAPTER 593: DINGLING PAVILION’S MYSTERIOUS TRICKS

That day, Wan Chu’er received a call from Xiao Bai, who said someone wanted to meet her.

Wan Chu’er asked, "Male or female?"

"Male."

Wan Chu’er immediately refused, "Jiang Kechu doesn’t like me meeting strange men, I’m not going."

Xiao Bai couldn’t help but feel nauseous and scolded with a laugh, "Wan Chu’er, since when have you become such a coward? Just because Jiang doesn’t like it, you won’t do it? Don’t think I don’t know, that old man Jiang Kechu also dislikes you meeting me, yet you still meet me anyway."

Wan Chu’er sneered, "You don’t understand, this is how a married couple gets along. If you keep encouraging me to meet strange men, maybe one day I’ll really listen to Jiang Kechu and won’t meet you again."

"Couple’s way my foot, you’re just scared of Jiang Kechu, you’re just a coward!" Xiao Bai blurted.

Hmph! See how you forget your brother once a man enters your life. Now that you have Jiang Kechu, you don’t listen to me.

Feeling lazy to respond, Wan Chu’er said, "I’ll go visit my little nephew in a couple of days," and then hung up the phone.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Xiao Bai was speechless, she hung up quite swiftly, didn’t even ask who wanted to meet her, but it’s better not to talk about this over the phone.

Wan Chu’er had previously demonstrated to him 108 ways of eavesdropping and gathering information, thus, the phone was also not secure.

He thought for a moment, then called Jiang Lingling who after some hassles, informed that Wan Chu’er was in Xuanyuan Imperial Building, so he drove there to find her.

Wan Chu’er seeing Xiao Bai actually coming to find her in person was surprised, "Who is it? For you to take such an effort on their behalf, must be quite rare."

Xiao Bai looked around cautiously and asked, "Is it safe here?"

Seeing his serious demeanor, Wan Chu’er laughed, "What are you playing at, riddles? It’s not like state secrets would come your way unless the sun rose from the west."

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes at her silently, closed the door, leaned in close to Wan Chu’er and whispered, "The Crown Prince wants to meet you, he asked me to keep it confidential."

The Crown Prince wants to meet her? What’s there to keep secret? Wan Chu’er frowned thinking, probably the meeting itself has to be confidential, but what kind of secrets does she have to do with the Crown Prince? They had only met once, and that was years ago.

Wan Chu’er asked, "What’s it about?"

Xiao Bai glared, "How would I know! It’s very secretive, he didn’t give me a hint, also said that knowing too much isn’t safe, I feel like he’s threatening me."

Considering his relationship with the Crown Prince was okay, and they had business dealings, what could make the Crown Prince say such cold words, it’s really puzzling.

Wan Chu’er thought for a moment, then said, "It’s definitely not something good, I won’t go!"

Xiao Bai spread his hands, "You think I don’t know it’s not something easy, so I tried to decline on your behalf, but he insisted on meeting you."

What on earth could it be? Cloaked in such mystery, really maddeningly intriguing, Wan Chu’er and Xiao Bai stared at each other, but found no solution.

Seems like a meeting is must.

"When?" Wan Chu’er asked.

"Tomorrow, Dingling Pavilion."

Wan Chu’er couldn’t help asking, "Why so urgent?"

"That’s why I hurried to find you."

Okay, even more intriguing, but curiosity killed the cat, and Wan Chu’er didn’t know if she would be that cat.

She had heard of Dingling Pavilion, a very mysterious place with very few knowing about it, let alone its location. Wan Chu’er found out from her grandfather and Jiang Kechu when she was deceived and investigating some secret matters.

After finishing, Xiao Bai arranged to meet the next day and hurried off, having to attend to the little monkey at home.

After Xiao Bai left, Wan Chu’er also had no heart to work anymore, left Time and returned to the old mansion, headed straight to the computer room, spent several hours there, yet didn’t find much information about Dingling Pavilion.

Truly frustrating and curious.

After dinner, Wan Chu’er accompanied Old Sir Zhong for a walk, couldn’t help but ask, "Grandpa, have you heard of Dingling Pavilion?"

"What about Dingling Pavilion?" Old Sir Zhong casually asked.

Wan Chu’er cautiously replied, "Just heard someone mention it, got curious and looked it up, but surprisingly found no information, only that it’s a mysterious place, so I wanted to ask you."

Old Sir Zhong laughed and shook his head, "It’s not a mysterious place, just a place where some kids played house, don’t mind it, though there are some good things there, I’ll take you to see sometime."

What? It turns out it’s just a play place in grandpa’s eyes!

Wait, in grandpa’s view, many people can be called kids, many activities considered just playing house, because grandpa stands high and sees far.

Nonetheless, since grandpa mentioned he might take her there sometime, it indicates it’s not something crucial or a sensitive place.

Wan Chu’er somewhat embarrassed by her secretive behavior, hence dropped it, guessing the Crown Prince’s matter wasn’t a big deal, planning to meet him openly the next day. She also dismissed telling Jiang Kechu, deciding to form a judgement after seeing the Crown Prince.

The next day, after meeting up with Xiao Bai, they drove to the Temple of Heaven.

Wan Chu’er surveyed the stark surroundings and asked, "Are you sure this is the right place? There isn’t even a person in sight."

Xiao Bai, "That’s what he said, to come here, we are a bit early, it’s not the time yet, let’s wait a bit."

Not sure if the Crown Prince suddenly got a penchant for mysteries, making it all so secretive.

The two had to wait ten minutes, and right after ten minutes, a van indeed arrived; they hurriedly looked toward the van, from which a young man in black got down with a sharp gaze, walking straight towards them.

"You know this guy?" Wan Chu’er hesitantly asked Xiao Bai, who shook his head indicating no.

The man in black approached them and said, "The pavilion master sent me to bring you two to Dingling Pavilion."

Looks like it is.

Xiao Bai smiled, "Alright, you lead and we’ll follow." Just as he started walking towards the parking area.

"Wait a second." The man in black stopped them, took out two black cloth strips from his pocket and said, "Sorry, but I need to Blindfold you, we’ll take the van there."

What? Blindfolding, feels like some conspiracy drama, Wan Chu’er looked at Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai pulled out his phone saying, "Let me make a call first."

The man in black made an indifferent gesture and quietly waited.

Xiao Bai was calling the Crown Prince to confirm the situation, while Wan Chu’er openly observed the man in black, seeing his candid demeanor, eyes not wandering, with calloused hands.
