Chapter 358: Do you know how much I like you?

Translator: c.o.keZero Editor: Rainystars

Xie Yunjin tried to comfort Cla.s.smate Han, “You should go back and calm yourself down. Focus on the upcoming examination in a few days. As for Nanfeng, I will rescue him for you.”

“Thank you, Yunjin. Please take care of yourself.”

Cla.s.smate Han was very worried about Xie Yunjin. Although Yunjin was younger than him, his words and actions resembled that of an older brother. He truly didn’t want anything to happen to him.

“Okay, I will.”

In the end, Cla.s.smate Han left with Han Dongsheng.

Officer Zhao was the last to leave. Before leaving, he said to Xie Yunjin, “Yunjin, don’t worry. Tonight, I will lead a team to investigate secretly and see if we can find any traces of the Second Born.”

Xie Yunjin knew that the people involved had planned carefully, and it wouldn’t be easy for them to leave any clues. But he was still worried about the Second Born’s whereabouts. Upon hearing Officer Zhao’s words, he agreed and gestured Ruan Kai over to Officer Zhao. “Ruan Kai will go with you to investigate.”

Zhao was concerned about the safety of the Xie family. “Since Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong have been sent out on a mission, it’s not good to have no one here to protect the residence. Ruan Kai should stay.”

Before Xie Yunjin could say anything, Ruan Zhu immediately spoke up, “Don’t worry Officer Zhao. I’ll stay here. Tonight, I will keep watch.”

Officer Zhao gave Ruan Zhu a strange look. He hadn’t seen her display any formidable skills and only saw her with a smiling and innocent face. He didn’t think she possessed any impressive martial arts abilities.

“It’s better to let Ruan Kai stay.”

Ruan Kai spoke, “I will go with Officer Zhao to investigate the young master’s whereabouts.”

He had confidence in his own sister’s abilities.

Officer Zhao couldn’t say anything further and could only leave with Ruan Kai.

In the hall, Ruan Zhu patted her chest and said, “Master, rest a.s.sured. I will take good care of everyone tonight.”

After saying that, she turned and walked away. Lu Jiao called out from behind, “Go eat something first. By the way, whatever you are craving, ask Aunt Hua to make it for you.”

Ruan Zhu’s biggest joys in life were killing and eating.

When she heard Lu Jiao’s words, Ruan Zhu immediately cheered, “Got it, Madam.”

She turned around and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Lu Jiao turned her head and looked at Xie Yunjin. Both of them were filled with anxiety, worry, and impatience. The Second Born had been captured, and they didn’t know how he was doing. Although Lu Jiao had taught him how to deal with enemies, he was still just a young child.

In the hall, the two remained silent for a while. Suddenly, Xie Yunjin spoke, “Lu

Jiao, if I can’t escape this time, please take good care of the four children.”

Upon hearing Xie Yunjin’s words, Lu Jiao’s face instantly turned grim. She said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen to you.”

She wouldn’t let anything happen to him. The thought of him getting into trouble made her feel very uncomfortable and somewhat sad.

However, Xie Yunjin didn’t share Lu Jiao’s optimism. Those people had put in so much effort, just to kill him, right? They must have detailed plans in place, so this time, he was afraid he couldn’t escape.

“Lu Jiao.”

Xie Yunjin really wanted to say…

“Do you know how much I like you?”

But at this moment, he didn’t want to say it anymore. If he died, there was no point in saying such words. Wasn’t it better for Lu Jiao to live happily? He believed that this woman would always live a good life no matter when.

With her taking care of the four children, he could rest a.s.sured.

Lu Jiao thought that Xie Yunjin had something to say and turned to him, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Xie Yunjin shook his head and said, “For now, we can only wait. I believe those people who captured the Second Born will send us a message and tell us what they want us to do.”

Lu Jiao nodded, and she pondered silently. This time, those people wanted to kill Xie Yunjin, so they must have planned everything carefully. She had to find a way to ensure that both of them would be safe.

Lu Jiao quickly thought of her own s.p.a.ce. If she could bring Xie Yunjin into it at a critical moment, that would be great.

However, she had previously tried to bring a person into the s.p.a.ce secretly, but it was unsuccessful.

Should she try again this time? Could she bring a person who was unconscious into the s.p.a.ce even if it didn’t work with someone who was awake?

The more Lu Jiao thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. So she decided to find an opportunity to quietly conduct an experiment.

In the main hall, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was unusually silent. Then, footsteps sounded outside the door and the three children quickly ran in. They gathered around Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao and expressed their worries.

“Daddy, mommy, will the Second Born be okay?”

“Mommy, you taught us how to deal with bad people before. Daddy, mommy, do you think the Second Born will find a way to escape?”

“Didn’t the Second Born say he wants to become a great general in the future? If he can successfully escape this time, I’ll admit that he can become a great general in the future.”

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao exchanged a glance and remained silent. If those people were human traffickers, they might not be on guard against the Second Born, which would allow him to find a way to escape. But the people who captured the Second Born had planned carefully, so it was unlikely they would let him escape.

This time, they could only hope that the Second Born would be well-behaved and not cause a commotion. Perhaps he could escape unharmed that way.

Although Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao thought this way, when faced with the three children, they rea.s.sured them, “Don’t worry, the Second Born will be able to handle it. Maybe he will come up with a way to escape soon.”

The Third and Fourth Born nodded vigorously to show their agreement.

Only the First Born didn’t believe it because he didn’t think the Second Born was very smart. How could someone like him come up with a way to escape? It was impossible.

The First Born was very worried. Will the Second Born be okay?

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao originally thought that the people behind the capture of the Second Born would quickly send them a message and instruct them on what to do.

But unexpectedly, there was no movement from those people. Three days had pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no action from them.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were tormented by the unknown. The people behind it were clearly torturing them.

Lu Jiao thought of that night when they killed more than ten people from the other side. Perhaps that was the reason why they were being tortured.

Officer Zhao had been secretly investigating in Qinghe County with Ruan Kai for two or three days, but they hadn’t found any clues. This indicated that the other side didn’t hide the Second Born in the county and had most likely taken him out of Qinghe County early on.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were deeply concerned about the Second Born’s whereabouts, but they were currently at a loss.

At this moment, Li Nantian and Zhou Shaogong returned.

“Master, Madam, we found out where the silver from the Yang family is hiding. It’s right under the pigsty of the Yang family’s old residence, in a small underground secret room. Undercover, I quietly sneaked into the secret room at night and found crates of gold and silver. It is estimated to be over 100,000 taels of silver.’

Zhou Shaogong also quickly said, “I was worried about alerting them, so I didn’t enter the underground secret room in the Peng family’s residence. However, I can confirm that there is indeed an underground secret room beneath the donkey shed. If nothing goes wrong, the silver should be hidden inside..”
