Su Huaiyue stopped what she was doing, took a deep breath, suppressed her inner panic, and then looked directly into Zhao Xingzhong's eyes. She spoke word for word with a resounding voice, "President Zhao, ever since I came to this villa, I have devoted myself to treating patients and have never had any other thoughts. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to search. I have a clear conscience!"

Her voice was clear and firm, echoing in the room, but only she knew that her heart was beating like thunder, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

Zhao Xingzhong looked at Su Huaiyue suspiciously, his eyes full of suspicion and scrutiny, like a cunning fox, trying to find a flaw in her face.

He thought to himself that Su Huaiyue had always been cautious in her actions, and Wei Che had disappeared so strangely, so there must be some unspeakable secret between them.

After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and shouted viciously, "Search! Don't leave any corner unsearched!"

Like a pack of vicious dogs smelling prey, the men immediately began rummaging through the room.

They moved roughly, sweeping the herbs and books on the table to the floor, and then dumping out everything in the cabinet and searching carefully, even under the bed.

The room was only this small, and it was quickly turned upside down, so of course there was no sign of Wei Che.

Zhao Xingzhong was extremely panicked and paced back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pan.

He was already uneasy because he didn't find any evidence in the carriage during the day. Now that Wei Che escaped again, he felt that things were not going well.

He knew in his heart that the evidence might be carried by the man. If he reported it to the police, the entire villa would be in big trouble, and everything he had worked hard to build would be destroyed.

Liu Er searched for a long time, sweating profusely, and walked up to Zhao Xingzhong. He shook his head at him and said with a gasp, "President, there is no one."

Zhao Xingzhong's face was terribly gloomy, like the sky before a storm, covered with dark clouds.

He cast his gaze at Su Huaiyue again and said coldly, "Miss Su, you are quite capable. However, this matter is not over yet. You'd better behave yourself. If I find out that you are colluding with that man, don't blame me for being cruel!"

After that, he flicked his sleeves and left the room angrily with his men.

Su Huaiyue watched their departing backs, knowing that this was only a temporary escape. Wei Che had already escaped but she didn't know if he was safe. She was full of worry and looked out the window. The night was dark.

Wei Che tried his best, dashing left and right amidst the raging fire and the chaotic crowd, and finally escaped from the villa.

He rode non-stop all the way, running towards the county government office.

At this time, he was in tattered clothes, his body covered with whip marks and bloodstains, and every step he took was accompanied by piercing pain, but he had only one belief in his heart - to return to the county government office, find County Magistrate Chen, and rescue Su Huaiyue.

When he stumbled into the county government office, County Magistrate Chen was pacing anxiously. When he saw Wei Che, he immediately hurried to greet him.

"Master Wei, you are finally back!" County Magistrate Chen's voice was full of surprise and worry.

Wei Che's face was pale and his breath was weak. Just as he was about to speak, he felt dizzy and almost fell down.

County Magistrate Chen was quick to support him and shouted, "Someone, call a doctor!"

Soon, the doctor rushed over and checked Wei Che's injuries.

County Magistrate Chen was beside him, pacing back and forth anxiously, glancing at Wei Che from time to time, his eyes full of concern. "Master Wei, please be quiet for now. Let the doctor take a good look at your injuries."

Wei Che grabbed County Magistrate Chen's hand and said anxiously, "County Magistrate Chen, I... I have important evidence. Su Huaiyue is still in the villa, we have to go and rescue her!"

County Magistrate Chen frowned, looking at Wei Che's frail appearance, his heart filled with pity: "Master Wei, you are already so injured, you should heal your wound first. We will make plans to rescue Miss Su later."

Wei Che shook his head, his eyes firm. "No, we can't wait any longer. Zhao Xingzhong has become suspicious, and she is in danger. I can hold on, but this evidence concerns the safety of the people of Southwest City. I must get it to you and Lord Li as soon as possible."

County Magistrate Chen couldn't persuade Wei Che, so he had to ask someone to help Wei Che sit down. Wei Che endured the severe pain, took out the evidence that he had risked his life to protect from his arms, and handed it to County Magistrate Chen.

"County Magistrate Chen, this is irrefutable evidence that Zhao Xingzhong is colluding with the enemy nation. We must act quickly and capture them all."

County Magistrate Chen took the evidence and carefully reviewed it, his expression growing increasingly serious. "I never imagined they would be so audacious as to collude with the enemy and attempt to disrupt our Southwest City. Master Wei, don't worry. I will gather my men and go up the mountain to rescue Miss Su and bring Zhao Xingzhong to justice."

After saying this, County Magistrate Chen immediately issued an order to summon the bailiffs in the county government office and the men in black who had been prepared earlier.

For a moment, the county government office was filled with noise and people were busy preparing weapons and packing their luggage.

County Magistrate Chen looked at Wei Che and said earnestly, "Mr. Wei, your injuries are serious. Please stay at the county office and recuperate. We will definitely bring Miss Su back safely."

Wei Che shook his head firmly, "County Magistrate Chen, I must go. She's in danger because of me, how can I stay out of it? Besides, I'm familiar with the situation at the villa and can be of great help."

County Magistrate Chen wanted to persuade him again, but Wei Che had already stood up, simply changed into clean clothes, asked the doctor to bandage his wound hurriedly, and prepared to follow the crowd.

There was determination and resolve in his eyes, as if pain could not stop him at all.

"County Magistrate Chen, stop trying to persuade me. Time is running out, let's get going."

Wei Che's voice was weak, but full of power.

County Magistrate Chen had no choice but to nod, "Alright, Master Wei, you must be careful. We'll set off now."

The night was deep and everything was silent. Wei Che and County Magistrate Chen led a group of people and quietly headed towards the villa.

The night in the mountains was extremely cold, and the icy wind cut everyone's faces like a knife, but they were completely unaware.

Wei Che endured the pain in his body and walked at the front of the team.

Su Huaiyue's figure kept appearing in his mind, and his heart was filled with worry and guilt.

Soon, they arrived at the back mountain of the villa.

Wei Che stopped and carefully observed the movements around him.

He lowered his voice and said to County Magistrate Chen, "County Magistrate Chen, I know where the guards of the villa are. We can go around here, avoid them, and then launch a sneak attack from the back mountain."

County Magistrate Chen nodded slightly: "Okay, everything is up to you."

Everyone moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear of making any noise.

The moonlight shines on them, reflecting their determined figures.

Just as they were about to approach the villa, they suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps.

Wei Che was startled and quickly signaled everyone to stop and hide in the bushes nearby.

They saw two guards holding torches, walking towards them.
