On that particular day, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan spotted Qiao Hongxi leaving his residence. They discreetly followed him in a rented wagon, driven by a man named Songshi. Renting the wagon allowed them to maintain a low profile, returning it in the afternoon and renting it again the following day, ensuring they left no traces behind.
Qiao Hongxi's daily routine typically involved working at Hanlin Academy without venturing elsewhere. However, today was different as he set off in the morning, indicating that it was his day off. This caught the couple's attention.
They trailed behind Qiao Hongxi until he reached a street known for selling antiques. Exiting the wagon, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan discreetly followed him into one of the stores.
