She knew she was being a bit unreasonable, but she was really too worried about Lun Huaijing. Firstly, she didn’t know how he was doing now, and secondly, she was afraid those people would use her to threaten him, so she had to hurry back to the village.
Yunyi naturally didn’t refuse, but she opened her mouth and said, "I’ll only be responsible for taking you to the foot of the mountain. But this is a secret between us; I don’t want others to know."
Tao Yuran thought Yunyi was afraid that those who came for her and Lun Huaijing would retaliate against her, nodded in agreement, "What happened tonight, I’ll keep it to myself. Actually, I don’t want anyone to know."
There was silence all the way, Tao Yuran followed behind Yunyi, staggering to the foot of the mountain.
However, Lun Huaijing’s courtyard had already returned to calm, and Tao Yuran panicked. She ran madly into the open courtyard, shouting, "Huaijing, Huaijing."
After looking around inside and outside the house without seeing anyone, she turned around and ran towards the Branch Secretary’s house.
Yunyi followed her at a distance, not to protect Tao Yuran, after all, she only promised to take her down the mountain, and what happened after was not her business. The reason she followed was to see the outcome.
When they arrived at the Branch Secretary’s house, it was quiet, and none of the lights inside were on. She didn’t know whether she should knock on the door.
It was Yunyi who came over and suggested, "You might want to check the brigade office."
These words reminded Tao Yuran, she turned around and ran towards there, not even bothering to consider why Chuyunyi hadn’t left yet.
Just as Yunyi thought, now the Songling Village brigade office was brightly lit.
Inside, Huo Jingrui seemed to have sensed something and got up to walk outside.
As he came out, he couldn’t help but glance at the tree where Yunyi was hiding.
As soon as Tao Yuran was found missing, he immediately sent people to search, unexpectedly she was saved by Yunyi.
He turned back into the courtyard, whispered a few words at the gate to a police officer, who nodded at him and then mingled with a few plainclothes officers into the crowd, trying to gather some clues from their conversations.
Amidst the crowd, Zhong Liyuan felt a burst of frustration after seeing his plan fail again.
Clearly planned so meticulously, why did it fail again?
After today’s incident, Lun Huaijing would probably be more cautious; and that Guo Aibing was indeed foolish, failing to harm him but getting himself tangled instead.
She was afraid now that Guo Aibing wouldn’t withstand the brutal interrogation and expose her, which would risk exposing her identity.
