Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Found

Shen Que led the pursuit, his face devoid of any smile.

Gao Zhonghua silently followed behind Shen Que, wanting to speak up several times, but each time he thought about the possibility of Li Chunxiang or the child being involved, he swallowed his words. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Until he sees Jiang Cheng unhurt, the worry in Shen Que’s heart cannot be soothed.

"Boss, Xiao Li is following sister-in-law, and she’s so smart. These kidnappers left too many traces, they don’t seem professional..."

Shen Que responded with a nod.

He didn’t know what to say; he understood all the clues.

But even understanding them, when the matter involves someone you care about most, emotions tend to take over.

At this moment, he exerted all his strength to suppress the surging emotions, just because he wanted to use his clearest mind to find Jiang Cheng.

The team of five continued forward, nearing the valley.

Shen Que suddenly caught a sound, made a silent gesture, and he and the others crouched down, observing, ready to fight.

"Brother Geng, how long will it take to go down the mountain?"

A woman’s voice was heard, and Shen Que’s eyes sparkled with brilliance.

"Boss, it’s sister-in-law!"

Before Gao Zhonghua’s words were even finished, Shen Que had already rushed out like a leopard.

Quickly, silently.

He watched Shen Que, although anxious, restraining his form until he could see the figure and ensure Jiang Cheng was truly safe, Shen Que then hurriedly dashed out.

"Jiang Cheng!"

Jiang Cheng, who was speaking, turned sharply.

"Shen Que!"

Without a second thought, Jiang Cheng rushed over, enveloped tightly in Shen Que’s embrace.

Jiang Cheng could feel Shen Que’s endless fear.

"It’s okay, I’m fine, all good, don’t be afraid! I’m still here."

Holding onto Shen Que, Jiang Cheng calmly reassured him, while also holding Shen Que tightly, allowing him to truly feel her presence.

"I’m sorry, I should have left you some signs..."

Jiang Cheng apologized, and Shen Que suddenly wept with sorrow, his sound muffled as he lay on Jiang Cheng’s shoulder.

"Foolish, you did nothing wrong! Don’t overthink, wherever you are, I’ll find you."

"Yes, I know, so I wasn’t scared at all."

Jiang Cheng snuggled up against Shen Que’s chest, filling the void in Shen Que’s heart.

Perhaps seconds, perhaps minutes passed, Jiang Cheng didn’t know how long they embraced.

She just patted Shen Que’s back, saying: "My legs are numb."

Shen Que quickly let go of Jiang Cheng, immediately squatting down to rub her calf.

"Are you hurt?"

"No—not really."

The word ’not really’ made Shen Que pause in his rubbing, speeding up his actions.

"Feeling better?"

"So much better, no problem."

Jiang Cheng moved her legs and feet, seeing she was fine, Shen Que finally stood up; it was then he noticed the wound on Jiang Cheng’s head.

It wasn’t serious.

If it were him or a comrade, no one would care.

But this was Jiang Cheng, someone he cherished dearly, someone who always handled things flawlessly and never got hurt.

"Does it hurt?"

Shen Que’s fingers hovered above Jiang Cheng’s forehead wound, saying lightly: "I’ll disinfect it for you."

"Okay."

Knowing Shen Que cared, Jiang Cheng agreed, letting him do something, which made him feel at ease.

The two started dressing the wound, while Gao Zhonghua and the others stood on their side, opposite Sun Aiguo, Xiao Li, and the seven kidnappers.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng explained to everyone the cause and process of the events, including the agreement she reached with Brother Geng.

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Shen Que also completed the dressing.

Rejuvenated, Shen Que returned, holding Jiang Cheng’s hand, descending the mountain.

After descending, they didn’t directly return to Beijing.

At the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Cheng arranged.

"Shen Que, you return to Beijing, pretend you didn’t find me."

"Brother Geng, you guys hide, wait for me to find you."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Geng Qiu’s group obediently left, telling Jiang Cheng where they’d hide.

Shen Que wasn’t reassured, he sent Xiao Li and three others he brought to follow Geng Qiu’s group.

Four skilled individuals against seven average ones, a total win.

Soon, only Jiang Cheng, Sun Aiguo, Shen Que, and Gao Zhonghua remained at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Que asked Jiang Cheng: "You’re going to Province G?"

Jiang Cheng smiled knowingly.

"Mutual understanding! Yes, I’m going to Province G, he sent gifts, I should reciprocate."

Jiang Cheng mischievously blinked, pulling Shen Que: "Don’t overact, don’t worry Auntie, you can tell her, then use sickness as an excuse to stay at home."

"Don’t worry, I know what to do, you be careful."

"I will!"

Jiang Cheng promised Shen Que, the four left together, splitting at a certain junction.

Jiang Cheng took Sun Aiguo, relying on her vast network, switched coats and put on simple makeup at a ceramics factory.

After a simple change, Jiang Cheng wrote three letters for Sun Aiguo, instructing: "If something happens at the food factory, give the first letter to Director Lu, then wait for Director Lu to contact you."

Feeling responsible, Sun Aiguo solemnly accepted the task, promising not to fail.

Jiang Cheng: Actually, there is no need to be so serious.

But Jiang Cheng didn’t say it; it’s good for subordinates to be motivated.

She and Sun Aiguo parted ways, heading to S City Food Factory, while Jiang Cheng quietly went to Province G using connections at the train station.
