Chapter 535: An Important Person Hiding in the Suburbs

Lin Jie usually doesn't talk much and is silent most of the time. At this moment, he just lowered his head and clasped his hands, as if no matter what the decision was, he would obey orders and would never have any dissatisfaction.

Jiang Suining looked at Shen Yanxi, who smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide. I have no opinion."

"That……"

"You don't have to worry about your parents. They won't have any objections." Shen Yanxi added.

"Okay." Jiang Suining nodded, thought for a while, and said to Lin Jie: "You should stay at the Jiang family for the time being. If there is any need or other instructions later, I will have someone find you."

"Yes, I understand." Lin Jie did not show any disappointment and responded respectfully.

As Zheng and Jiang Zhitong watched them off, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi got on the carriage and returned to the Shen family.

When they returned to the Shen family, it was already completely dark. As soon as the two entered the mansion, a guard came forward to salute and reported a piece of news to Shen Yanxi.

"Sir, our people have been watched these past two days. I have observed them secretly and found that they are from the Fourth Prince's Mansion."

"All of them are being watched?" Shen Yanxi frowned. After seeing the guard nod, he said in a deep voice, "The Fourth Prince's move this time is quite large."

Although he doesn't have many people under his command who are trustworthy and can be driven, it is not easy to keep an eye on them all.

The guard continued, "Sir, there is one more thing. That person has already arrived outside the imperial city and is temporarily placed in a dilapidated temple. We need to send someone to pick him up. But now all our people are being watched. Every move is under the eyes of others. We have no way to go to pick him up. What should we do now? Please give us some advice, sir."

Hearing this, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi's faces both looked a little gloomy.

Shen Yanxi frowned and waved his hand, saying, "You can leave first. I will think about this matter again."

"Yes, I am resigning."

After the guards left, Jiang Suining whispered to Shen Yanxi, "There must be no mistakes in getting that person into the imperial city, otherwise all the efforts we have made will be wasted."

"I understand, but I don't have anyone available right now. If I rashly send someone to meet them, they will be easily discovered."

Jiang Suining took over Shen Yanxi's words, "Why not let Lin Jie go."

"Lin Jie?"

"That's right. Although I don't want him to get involved in too many things, he is good at martial arts and has stayed at the farm for a period of time before. This time, we can still let him go in the name of going to the farm."

Shen Yanxi thought about it and nodded, "Maybe we can give it a try."

The next day.

Jiang Suining sent a message back to the Jiang family, asking Lin Jie to go to the Shen Mansion in the name of delivering something.

Lin Jie didn't expect that he would be called over so soon. When he saw Jiang Suining, there was a look of surprise on his face.

Jiang Suining explained: "Although I just told you to stay at the Jiang family last night, there is something I need you to do today."

"Please tell me, young lady. I will do my best."

"This matter must be kept secret. No one else can know about it. Even my parents cannot leak the news. Can you do it?"

"Yes, please tell me, young lady."

"I want you to protect someone. Find an opportunity to quietly bring him into the imperial city and send him to a small courtyard in the west of the city. During this process, no one else should know about it. You must also be very cautious and not let others find out."

"I understand." Lin Jie responded seriously.

Jiang Suining looked at Lin Jie, "Aren't you curious about who that person is?"

Lin Jie shook his head. "I just need to do my best to complete the task assigned by the young lady. If the young lady doesn't want to talk about it, then I won't ask."

"Okay." Jiang Suining handed the portrait and a certificate to Lin Jie, "Look carefully, this is what that man looks like. He is now in a dilapidated temple ten miles outside the city. There will be two people waiting for you there. When you see them, just give them this certificate. There is no need to say anything else. Also, you must ensure the safety of that man!"

"Yes." Lin Jie took it, looked carefully at the person in the portrait, and then returned the portrait to Jiang Suining.

"You remember?"

"Don't worry, miss. I've got it clearly in mind."

"Okay, to avoid arousing suspicion, you will set out tomorrow and tell your parents that I sent you to the farm. After you pick up the person, send someone to deliver the letter to me immediately. There must be no mistake."

"I obey my orders."

After explaining everything clearly, Jiang Suining asked Lin Jie to leave the Jiang family.

And Lin Jie returned to the Jiang family as usual just as Jiang Suining had instructed, and reported to Jiang Zhitong and Zheng that he would go to the farm tomorrow.

Since Lin Jie had been to the manor before, Jiang Zhitong and the others did not suspect anything and just asked Lin Jie to do his job according to Jiang Suining's instructions.

After returning to his residence, Lin Jie simply packed some luggage and seemed to be waiting to set off early the next morning.

However, that night, after everyone in the Jiang family had fallen asleep, he changed into a nightgown, quietly left the Jiang family without anyone noticing, and finally sneaked into the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

"I have met His Highness."

In the study, Lin Jie took off the black scarf covering his face and knelt respectfully in front of Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi was standing by the window, turning his head to look back at the chess piece that he had initially placed next to Jiang Suining.

"I have kept you in the Jiang family for the past few years. Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Jie lowered his head and said, "As long as I can do the work for Your Highness, I don't feel tired. But I haven't gained much in the past few years. I have failed Your Highness's trust. Please punish me."

"Jiang Suining is a cautious person. It's not easy for you to stay with her for so long. Moreover, you have established a firm foothold in the Jiang family. Now that I have someone to use, how can I punish you?"

Xiao Yi turned around and said to Lin Jie who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Get up and talk."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." Lin Jie stood up.

"You ventured here tonight, I guess you made some important discovery?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Your Highness, I was summoned to the Shen Mansion today. Jiang Suining asked me to go to the outskirts of the city to protect a person and send him to the imperial city."

"who?"

"I don't know his identity, and I didn't ask too much for fear of being suspected. However, I saw his portrait and remembered his face."

Lin Jie took out a portrait from his arms, raised it with both hands, and handed it respectfully to Xiao Yi.

"This is what I drew from memory. Your Highness, please take a look."

Xiao Yi took the portrait and looked at the person in the portrait. At first glance, he felt that he looked familiar. After he remembered, his face suddenly darkened and he laughed coldly with a chilling tone.

"I didn't expect Feng Yimin to be still alive. Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi are really good at this!"
