Besides him and Cao Zhiqing, there will probably be someone else to keep them in check, in case they return quickly and ruin her plans.
That's a brilliant, open strategy...
"I have to go out for a bit. Remember, don't open the door for anyone! If necessary, strike first!"
Zhao Liang scratched his head, looking confused. "Huh? You're really going? Aren't you afraid of being bothered?"
He'd heard from Brother Qiao that Cao, the educated youth, liked Ma, the educated youth! But Ma clearly didn't like her! So why go?
Ma Zhiqing found his simple-mindedness incredibly frustrating.
"I have no choice but to go. If I don't go, at best I'll be talked about behind my back, and at worst I'll end up in jail!"
Just remember what I said: don't open the door. If any strange smell comes in, climb out the window. Just knock out the person at the door and drag them out!
Did you understand?
Zhao Liang was just a bit naive, not really stupid. He understood almost everything after hearing the explanation.
He touched the medicine packet that Doctor Bai had given him in his pocket, and felt relieved.
"Okay, I understand! Go ahead, and be careful!"
Ma Zhiqing nodded, raised his hand to look at his watch, and said, "It's about time, I have to go."
After saying that, he opened the door again and went out.
He could have taken Zhao Liang with him, but then he thought, why not take this opportunity tonight to get rid of the poisonous snake completely?
Otherwise, having such a cunning and venomous snake watching you from behind would truly make it impossible to eat or sleep in peace!
Although Zhao Liang was a bit simple-minded, he would handle the tasks entrusted to him. With a grown man on guard and with a plan, surely he could deal with a vicious woman?
The backyard was locked, so he couldn't go in to check if Cao Zhiqing was still at the educated youth settlement. He could only rush to the grove to find Cao Zhiqing.
He arrived at exactly ten o'clock, and shining his flashlight around, he finally found a rather petite figure on the far side.
"Cao Zhiqing?"
Upon hearing his voice, Cao, the educated youth on the other side, was so happy that he immediately ran over.
Her face flushed with excitement.
“Ma Zhiqing, I…”
She had barely opened her mouth when Ma Zhiqing raised his hand to stop her.
"No matter why you asked me to come here, I have to tell you, we've been set up!"
To everyone's surprise, Cao, the educated youth on the other side, waved her hands repeatedly and anxiously explained, "No, I didn't invite you, it was...it was..."
She stammered for a long time, unable to speak. How was she supposed to explain?
She claimed she knew he and Qian Zhiqing had arranged to meet here, which is why she followed them? That doesn't seem plausible at all!
Ma Zhiqing no longer wanted to know why she had asked him to come over; he had to rush back because he was still worried about that simpleton.
"Listen to me!"
Once she finally recovered from her embarrassment, he continued, "Let's pretend tonight never happened. Let's go back right away! We've been set up! Do you understand?"
Cao, the educated youth, was momentarily stunned. What did that mean? Wasn't he and Qian, the educated youth, supposed to meet here?
Why are you saying they were set up?
"Huh? Ma Zhiqing, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Ma Zhiqing didn't say much. He didn't know who Zhang Zhiqing had arranged to hold them back, or when they would arrive. He could only try to get his men away as soon as possible.
"Now is not the time to talk. Come back with me!"
Cao Zhiqing's expression turned serious. Although she was simple-minded, she wasn't stupid, and she realized that something was wrong.
"Okay! Let's go!"
The two walked out of the grove, one after the other, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
