After knowing things that happened from ManQi, TanTan excuses herself and back to her room with be followed by ManQi. when TanTan be inside the room, she starts to think about all that happened,

'Someone wants to kill HuaMuTan? - Why?'

'Someone is trying to send the illegal weapon to the enemy of this country? - Same guys?'

'In the flashes of memories, The mysterious woman with Uncle Hua? - Who?'

'The secret that HuaMuTan's parents know? - What is it?

The silver mask said HuaMuTan's enemy is someone in the palace? The smuggler in the forest also said his boss is someone higher than the third Prince? Once again - same guys?

All those thoughts make TanTan exhausted coz there are no answers just questions...

'I can't just stay at here like this...there are so many answers need to be looked'

Lately the killers also don't show up again, is that because they don't dare to attack her as long she is at Li Mansion?

Its good, but that means also she doesn't have clue anymore...

"Ugh, I wish I can see that silver mask again...there is so many things I want to ask about..." TanTan speaks out her mind although no one listening in the room.

"Maybe...I need to find a way to contact him? Isn't he being around?" TanTan stands and opens the door. She is planning to call out the silver mask, who knows if he is really really around. But what a surprise for TanTan to see ManQi still stands at outside,

"Is there anything you need, Young Madam?" ManQi asks her innocently.

"No...but why are you here, ManQi? Don't you suppose to accompany Prince Li to check the prison?"

"Prince Li orders me to protect you Young Madam"

'protect or watch over?' TanTan wrinkles her forehead, indicating she is unhappy a little bit.

"What a kindness your boss has but I don't need to be protected !!" TanTan protests.

At the same time, XiaoRue has finishing her job and want to report to TanTan,

When TanTan sees her, she immediately pulls XiaoRue's hand and closes the door in front of ManQi.

Inside the room, TanTan peeks to outside, making sure that ManQi doesn't overhear them. Xiao Rue is a little bit puzzled with the action,

"XiaoCie, what's wrong?"

TanTan looks to her, thinking...then smiling widely to XiaoRue.

"XiaoRue, I need your help..."

Around half of hour later, XiaoRue comes out with a blushed face and nervous. She glances to ManQi who feels a little bit surprise seeing XiaoRue's face. He approaches XiaoRue closer, worrily.

"Is anything wrong, Miss XiaoRue?"

"I..I think I just see someone in a black cloth sneaking out from the other room ...I saw it from the window just now" TanTan seems stutters to say...her eyes are showing fear.

ManQi thinks fast, his priority is guarding HuaMuTan, so he want to walk inside the room.

"What about Young Madam, is she okay?"

XiaoRue holds his arms,

"Yeah...yeah...XiaoCie is sleeping just now...I don't want to bother her...Please hurry, you must check FangFang XiaoCie's room. The man might go there to harm her also...I'll be here to guard XiaoCie"

ManQi peeks a little to inside room, TanTan seems sleeping on the bed, full covered by a blanket,

'So XiaoRue is saying the truth, if that man isn't aiming here, it means that man is not a killer, maybe a thief...'

Seeing XiaoRue so panic and crying to him, ManQi makes a decision,

"Okay...just scream out if that man back to here again!" Then he left...

"Is he left?" TanTan comes out suddenly and it shocks XiaoRue a little bit...

"Y...yes, XiaoCie..."

TanTan throw a bundle bag to XiaoRue,

"Good! Don't waste any time, let's go before he comes back!"

Then in a short time TanTan and XiaoRue has getting out from Li Mansion, unnoticed.

ManQi doesn't manage to get the man. He checks FangFang's room but only finding FangFang sleeps peacefully. 'There is no sign of any intruders? Either if the man has a very high martial skill or...' In his suspicious, ManQi returns to TanTan's room, just to figure out that the room has empty.

"Damn, Master will pissed knowing this..." Sudden he laughed to himself, "I never thought that I can easily be tricked by that naughty girl!"

ManQi then flees to find where TanTan and XiaoRue go,

'They must be not too far...I better just follow them secretly to find out what are they going to do...'
