Xiao Tao nodded slightly and said, "Miss Su, I've got it. But this villa is heavily guarded. How am I supposed to escape?"
Su Huaiyue thought for a moment and said, "I will find a way to create some chaos to attract their attention, and you will take the opportunity to escape. But before that, you have to pretend to be my helper, obey my orders, and don't arouse their suspicion."
Xiao Tao said firmly, "Okay, Miss Su, I'll listen to you."
After arranging all this, Su Huaiyue opened the door and took Xiaotao back to where the sick subordinate was. Su Huaiyue began to direct Xiaotao to assist her in the treatment, and the two cooperated very well.
Under Su Huaiyue's careful treatment, the condition of his sick subordinate gradually stabilized.
When President Zhao saw this scene, he was overjoyed and became even more convinced of Su Huaiyue's medical skills.
He said to Su Huaiyue, "Miss Su, your reputation is well-deserved. As long as you can completely cure them, I will reward you handsomely."
Su Huaiyue smiled slightly and said, "President Zhao, you are too polite. It is my job to treat illnesses and save lives. However, this plague is highly contagious. If we want to completely eliminate future troubles, we need to thoroughly clean and disinfect the villa."
President Zhao nodded and said, "Miss Su is right. I will arrange for someone to do it right away."
While President Zhao was arranging for people to clean up the villa, Su Huaiyue quietly said to Xiaotao, "Tonight, I will make some noise in the kitchen to distract the guards. You can take the opportunity to escape through the back door. Be careful and don't get caught."
Xiaotao nodded slightly, her eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation.
As night fell, the entire villa was shrouded in darkness.
Su Huaiyue quietly came to the kitchen and deliberately knocked over some pots and pans, making a noisy noise.
When the guards heard the noise, they rushed to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Xiaotao immediately took advantage of the fact that the back door was not guarded and quietly slipped out.
She carefully avoided the patrol team and ran out of the villa.
However, just when Xiaotao was about to escape from the villa, a patrolling guard discovered her whereabouts.
The guard shouted, "Someone's escaping! Help!"
Hearing the shouts, the other guards gathered around. Xiao Tao was terrified and ran desperately towards the foot of the mountain, but suddenly her foot missed and she slid down the huge slope.
The guards chased after him but couldn't find him, and they all stared at each other in surprise.
President Zhao was awakened from his dream and hurried out to check, thinking that Su Huaiyue had run away.
But when he ran to the kitchen and saw Su Huaiyue standing there with the sweet potato, watching a group of guards searching everywhere, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Su, why are you not sleeping so late? What are you doing here?"
"I was a little hungry, so I came out to find something to eat. It was too dark in there, and I accidentally knocked over some bowls and plates. Then I heard the guards say someone had escaped, so I was so scared that I hurried out to take a look." As he spoke, Su Huaiyue still pretended to be frightened.
That look was so scary to see.
President Zhao looked at Su Huaiyue suspiciously, and seeing that she looked panicked and was holding a sweet potato tightly in her hand, as if she was really scared, he temporarily put aside his doubts.
He turned and shouted at the guards, "You bunch of losers! You can't even keep an eye on one person! Hurry up and keep looking for her! If you let her get away, you'll all be in trouble!"
The guards were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They quickly responded and scattered to continue searching the villa. President Zhao glanced at Su Huaiyue again and said, "Miss Su, it's not safe here. You should go back to your room and rest first."
Su Huaiyue nodded slightly and said in a frightened tone, "Okay...Okay, President Zhao."
After saying that, he hurried back to his room.
After returning to the room, Su Huaiyue's heart was still pounding.
She was worried about Xiaotao's safety, but she knew that she couldn't panic at the moment. She had to stay calm and wait for the next opportunity.
Not long after, someone knocked on Su Huaiyue's door.
She stood up and opened the door, and found that it was President Zhao standing outside.
"What's wrong, President Zhao?"
Chairman Zhao's face was full of suspicion. "Our guards just went to check and found that your slave girl had escaped, so they came to inquire about the situation."
Su Huaiyue's heart tightened, but her face still maintained a look of fear and uncertainty. She pretended to be surprised and said, "The slave girl ran away? This... How is this possible? She has always obeyed my orders."
She bit her lip slightly, as if trying to calm herself down, but her eyes were filled with confusion and anxiety. "I... I really don't know why she ran away. I was counting on her to help me treat those sick brothers."
President Zhao stared at Su Huaiyue with sharp eyes, trying to find a flaw in her expression.
He said slowly: "Miss Su, you personally selected this slave girl. Now she has run away. I can't help but wonder if there is any hidden reason behind this."
Su Huaiyue secretly groaned in her heart, but she knew very well that she must not lose her composure at this moment.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked directly into President Zhao's eyes, her eyes filled with grievance and innocence. She said, "President Zhao, how could I have colluded with her? I have been doing my best to help you treat your men, and you have seen it all. Maybe... maybe she was afraid of being infected by the plague, so she wanted to escape."
"You also know how terrible this plague is. The appearance of those infected brothers would scare anyone who saw them. All the men in your village are like this, not to mention a little girl."
President Zhao frowned slightly, as if weighing what Su Huaiyue said.
After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "I hope so, Miss Su. However, with something like this happening in this villa, I have to be cautious. In the next few days, please do not leave your room at will to avoid any further trouble."
Although Su Huaiyue felt unwilling, she nodded quickly and said, "President Zhao, don't worry. I understand your concerns. I will definitely not move around casually to avoid causing you trouble. However, those brothers who are sick... their conditions still require me to continue to follow up and treat them."
Chairman Zhao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that. I will arrange for other subordinates to assist you. You just need to stay in the room and tell them the prescription and treatment method."
Su Huaiyue thought to herself that President Zhao had obviously become suspicious of her, and the next action would probably be even more difficult.
But she still forced a smile and said, "Okay, President Zhao, everything is up to you."
President Zhao looked at Su Huaiyue again before turning and leaving.
Su Huaiyue closed the door, slowly squatted down against the door, her heart full of worry.
She was worried about whether Xiao Tao had escaped safely, whether Wei Che and County Magistrate Chen knew about the situation, and even more worried about how she would deal with this increasingly difficult situation.
