Nothing special happened during the day. The mistress of this room came a few times, then quickly left. She didn't stay in her room for too long.

It was worth mentioning that the owner of this room was indeed Ye Hongyi, who was wearing a dress.

Night slowly descended, and yet another meticulous battle was about to take place.

After staying under the bed for the entire day, Lin Qing suddenly opened her eyes. The pitch-black night couldn't block Lin Qing's eyes from shining brightly.

Before Lin Qing could come out, the sound of light footsteps could be heard. This caused her to restrain her temper.

The woman who entered was none other than Ye Hongyi.

At this moment, Ye Hongyi's face was a bit ugly. There was deep hatred on his beautiful face.

He saw Ye Hongyi standing alone in front of the dressing table, looking at his reflection in the mirror. He seemed to be thinking of something as he subconsciously held the scissors in his hand and tightened his grip.

Lin Qing, who was hiding under the bed, couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression when she saw this.

Ye Hongyi, who was about to take off his makeup, suddenly stood up as if he had seen something incredible in a mirror. He opened his mouth and was about to shout.

Right at this moment, a chill appeared on Ye Hongyi's neck. The ice-cold chill caused Ye Hongyi's body to involuntarily stiffen. He originally wanted to shout out, but now he could not help but swallow his words.

Unknowingly, Lin Qing's figure had appeared behind Ye Hongyi. The sharp and cold glint of her sword was pressed tightly against Ye Hongyi's neck. It was as if Lin Qing had accidentally caused Ye Hongtian to lose his life.

Standing behind Ye Hongyi and seeing the reaction of this beautiful woman, Lin Qing nodded her head in satisfaction. With a hoarse voice, she said, "You're quite smart."

"chivalrous hero, what are you doing?" Ye Hongyi's voice sounded panicky, and his stiff body did not even dare to move.

"I don't need you to know what I want. I just want to know if you want to live or die." Lin Qing didn't reply to Ye Hongyi's words. Instead, he indifferently said so, his ice-cold eyes carrying a shocking hostility.

"Of course I'm dreaming!" Ye Hongyi hurriedly replied. After a short period of panic, he seemed to have recovered quite a bit of his composure.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing also revealed a look of admiration. She put away the sharp sword and silently put it into the sheath …

"That's good." Lin Qing's tone was indifferent as she sat down on a chair to the side.

On the table, there were several plates of pastries. Lin Qing did not move, but picked up a few pieces and began to eat.

To tell the truth, after staying under the bed for the entire day, the current Lin Qing was a little hungry. After eating half of her fill, Lin Qing then turned to look at Ye Hongyi.

After Lin Qing removed the sharp sword from Ye Hongyi's neck, Ye Hongyi had always been sitting in front of the dressing table, silently watching Lin Qing devour the food.

After seeing Lin Qing finish her food, Ye Hongyi's red lips slightly parted as he nervously asked, "I wonder what sire's purpose for coming here is?"

"What is your name?" Lin Qing did not reply to Ye Hongyi's words and instead asked indifferently.

"My name is Ye Hongyi. Sir, you can call me Hongyi." Ye Hongyi said in a low voice. As he saw Lin Qing's clear eyes without any lustful look in them, his heart unconsciously calmed down.

"Alright, then I wonder what position the red clothed person has in the Chen Mansion?" Lin Qing nodded her head and spoke in a seemingly nonchalant manner.

"I am Chen He's fifth concubine. I do not hold a high position in the estate." Ye Hongyi hurriedly returned and did not dare to hide anything.

"Since he is Chen He's concubine, I guess he should know a lot about Chen He as well, right?" Lin Qing played with the porcelain plate which contained the pastries as she indifferently said.

"I don't know what sire is thinking …" Ye Hongyi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask with a troubled expression.

"I'm sure you've already thought about it. You don't need me to say anything more." Lin Qing faintly said.

Hearing this, Ye Hongyi's face changed. His hand tightened and loosened up.

In the end, Ye Hongyi took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what sire wishes to do, but if Hongyi is able to help, then Hongyi will not refuse."

In truth, Ye Hongyi already understood a lot about the events that had occurred in the Chen Residence. And seeing Lin Qing's appearance, it was likely that she was the one from last night.

As for the battle that happened in the Chen residence yesterday, although Ye Hongyi did not personally see it, he did know a lot about it due to his eyes, ears, and ears.

He knew that the person who had escaped from the Chen residence yesterday was extremely powerful. Even Chen He wasn't a match for him, so Ye Hongyi was also shocked. If he could find the person who helped him, there was a possibility of erasing his grudge.

However, Ye Hongyi also understood that an expert like Lin Qing was not someone a little girl like him could touch.

However, what Ye Hongyi did not expect was that he would suddenly appear in front of him, causing him to feel as if he had fallen into a dream.

Clenching his fists tightly, Ye Hongyi knew that he had to seize this opportunity. Otherwise, he would end up living the rest of his life under the humiliation of Chen He.

Lin Qing didn't know anything about Ye Hongyi. The reason he dared to appear so confident was because he saw the hatred in Ye Hongyi's eyes yesterday. He knew that Ye Hongyi probably had no feelings for Chen He, and even more so had a grudge against him.

However, all of these were Lin Qing's guesses. Whether it was true or not, Lin Qing did not know. However, after seeing Ye Hongyi's performance, Lin Qing knew that it was all within her expectations.

"If I force you to do so, I'm afraid that you will be unwilling to do so as well. If that's the case, why don't you and I cooperate?" Lin Qing looked deeply at Ye Hongyi as she spoke with a tone of discussion.

Actually, with the current situation and environment, Lin Qing didn't need to waste time talking to Ye Hongyi and could force him to say what she wanted to know. However, if she did so, Ye Hongyi would definitely not be willing, and it was more likely that he would send the wrong message. After all, he didn't know much about this place, so there was no way he could be sure if his words were true or false.

"No matter how bold the red-clothed man is, he still wouldn't dare to fight with the lord!" Hearing Lin Qing's words, Ye Hongyi was also elated as he hurriedly replied.

After all, at this point of time, one is at the mercy of others and one is the prey. Lin Qing's attitude was sufficient to prove that Lin Qing was not a bloodthirsty person. Even if one looked at her attitude, one would not be a greedy and beautiful person.

As the wind blew, faint ripples appeared on the surface. In front of the dressing table, Ye Hongyi stood there with his sleeves twirling, and his eyes were filled with longing, hope, and hope. It was a hope filled with hatred.

The sounds of warriors patrolling could be heard from time to time outside. It was very obvious in the dark of the night.
