Chapter 2489: Chapter 2490: The City Lord Who Climbed the Window at Midnight!
He stopped thinking about that couple and called over the guard to give him some instructions.
Right now, there are really too few of their people in Hongye Pavilion. Even if they brought in people from outside, there might still be dangers in the vast forest.
So, he still needs to arrange for more people to go in.
If it really doesn’t work out, they could just pull out some alchemists and pharmacists and replace them with their own people; that way, no one would notice.
…
Meanwhile, in Sui Zimo’s room, a man dressed in black climbed in through the window.
The two of them: “…”
Who is this monkey coming down from the mountain? There’s no way it’s her biological dad!
As expected, the person hung on the window, pulled down the black cloth on his face with one hand, and looked at the two of them. Surprisingly, it was the lofty city lord himself.
“Zimo, now that you’ve seen your father here, aren’t you going to come over and lend a hand?”
The man looked somewhat aggrievedly at his son and asked.
He really had a hard time making time to come by, just to see who here in Hongye Pavilion had the audacity to covet his son, who already had a wife and daughter!
Sui Zimo: “…”
He hasn’t seemed to acknowledge this man as his father yet, has he? Are all the relatives these days so eager to claim their sons?
“I…”
He wanted to refuse. If this guy couldn’t even climb through a window, he didn’t care whether to acknowledge him as a dad or not.
However, before he could speak,
the man on the window was directly pushed inside by someone behind him.
“Hurry up, you’re such a big guy blocking the way, you know?” Lin Baizhong was right behind Lu Tianlan and gave the stuck man a shove.
“Ouch!”
The man, caught off guard, almost fell right in front of his son.
Luckily, he’s not a rookie, and he quickly stabilized himself, avoiding the embarrassment of lying on the floor, in front of his daughter-in-law.
“Lin Baizhong, even if you and I are in-laws now, you can’t treat me like this. I’m still the city lord after all.”
Once steady, he grumbled under his breath toward the window.
“Never seen a city lord who likes climbing windows in the middle of the night!” Lin Baizhong retorted without missing a beat.
He had suggested using the front door, but the city lord insisted on taking an unusual route, climbing through the window!
Lu Tianlan: “!”
Why does Lin Baizhong’s temperament seem exactly like his son’s, who always gives him the cold shoulder?
Sometimes he even suspects that Lin Baizhong might have raised his son.
Of course, it’s just a suspicion as Lin Baizhong doesn’t remember past events, and Liu Yuyang doesn’t know about Lin Baizhong and Sui Zimo’s semi-mentorship relationship.
And as for Sui Zimo himself, there’s no way he’d tell Lu Tianlan about this.
“Hurry up and come in. Aren’t you afraid someone will find out?”
He said with exasperation to Lin Baizhong.
Lin Baizhong sighed helplessly, then climbed in through the window, closed it, and the four of them each took a corner seat at the table.
“Sangsang, are you alright? I heard you met a crazy woman today?” He looked at his daughter with concern.
Lin Caisang: “…”
Dad, is it really okay for you to talk about other women like that?
Even if Wang Suoer is really crazy, they should still mind their words a bit. She’s already been taken away, so there’s no need to make too big a fuss, right?
