Although Yu Ling saw the newspaper, she only thought that the underground party was doomed and didn't really take it seriously, much less care about it.
After all, he wasn't a real underground party member with any related identities. One was branded a traitor, and the other was an alias who never even showed his face and only communicated through letters.
What's there to be afraid of? There's absolutely no need to panic!
So, when Yu Ling saw Nan Miaoyin arrive, she had no idea it was because Ye Linglong had been arrested. She thought Nan Miaoyin was up to some trick again, and panicked, stammering:
"W-why did you suddenly come to find me? Don't scare me, Sister Miaoyin. Could you give me a hint beforehand? Where are you taking me?"
"What are you afraid of?" Nan Miaoyin didn't answer Yu Ling's question, but turned to Jiang Zhicheng, who had come after hearing the news, and said, "You don't mind if I borrow your men for a while, do you?"
"Haha, what are you saying! Zhong Kai, you can go ahead and do your work with Miss Miaoyin. I have some things to do anyway, so I won't keep you any longer."
Jiang Zhicheng was not surprised at all by Nan Miaoyin's visit.
If she didn't have any feelings for this guy, she wouldn't have asked me to go to the karaoke bar to recruit people, and she wouldn't have gone to the trouble of coming up with such a way to save face for me.
This guy is really lucky with women!
To ordinary people, Jiang Zhicheng was a ruthless and unscrupulous businessman, but to Nan Miaoyin, a friend with whom she had a life-or-death bond, his character was impeccable.
So he simply sold Yu Ling.
"Go on, go on! Don't come back unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm giving you a long vacation!"
Thank you!
Yu Ling was dragged away by Nan Miaoyin with a pale face.
Jiang Zhicheng watched the two walk away with a smile, then called over his old servant and raised the price of his goods by another 30%.
The more chaotic the world is for him, the better, because it will never affect him!
In Nan Miaoyin's eyes, Ye Linglong was just a distinguished guest worth visiting. Although they had some friendship, it wasn't worth going to prison to bail her out.
Under Yu Ling's tense and unwavering expression, Nan Miaoyin led her to the small house where Yu Ling first met her after she transmigrated there.
"Ye Linglong has been arrested. I heard she's got connections with the underground Communist Party." As she spoke, she frowned, her hand unconsciously reaching for her pipe. "Didn't you also join that underground Communist Party? Do you know her?"
She probably meant to discuss the issue of Ye Linglong's arrest, but Yu Ling didn't understand.
Why did this person suddenly bring up Ye Linglong out of the blue? Logically speaking, since she hasn't been arrested yet, she obviously didn't have time to have anything else happen with me. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, why is he still so angry?
After a moment of surprise, Yu Ling said:
"Really? The underground party has never contacted me since you betrayed me. As for Ye Linglong, I really don't know much about her."
Nan Miaoyin said, "I knew you wouldn't admit it, but I do believe you don't know each other."
Otherwise, he would have severed all ties with Ye Linglong before she was arrested, and might even have anonymously blackmailed the Ye family with the information.
Yu Ling was unaware that the original owner's character was already deeply ingrained in Nan Miaoyin's mind from her previous life. Seeing that she believed in her, she assumed that Nan Miaoyin was not planning to cause trouble, and Yu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was too quick to relax.
“Master Ye came to me to ask about what happened back then. Although I didn’t expose you, with so many eyes watching and that playboy Chen Yuwen present, it was bound to reach his ears.”
Although Master Ye had a good temper and was honest, and his family was well-off, he was not as confident as those who held military power. Nan Miaoyin hardly ever associated with him.
Only Ye Linglong frequently tried to get close to her. Now that I think about it, it was probably just a pretext to gather information by using her territory.
Hearing Nan Miaoyin say this, Yu Ling's mind was filled with thoughts like, "What does this have to do with me? It was Master Ye's daughter who came up with this bad idea, not him. I'm a victim too!"
But if I were to actually say that, I'd probably get beaten up.
"...Then what should I do?"
"It depends on whether you want to atone for your sins. Besides, it'll give you another way to make money. If you can get Ye Linglong out, Master Ye will ask for at least this much." Nan Miaoyin crossed her fingers and gestured ten.
"Ten thousand?"
"One hundred thousand silver dollars."
Yu Ling didn't really want to earn this money.
But he gave so much.
"Should I go find Roach now and demand his return?"
Yu Ling thought that Ye Linglong was probably only supporting the underground party with some money, and she probably didn't know much. As long as the seal was found, there was a good chance that the person would be released.
"..." Although it was her own idea, she was really annoyed to see the man from her past life saving another woman.
Nan Miaoyin said sarcastically, "Oh~ you said it was no big deal, but you took on the whole thing for a mere 100,000 yuan."
Yu Ling: Didn't you tell me to go? I was just lazing around next to Jiang Zhicheng, what did I do to deserve this!
"...Once we've saved him, I'll give you all of Master Ye's money as a thank you for your kindness in letting Master Jiang take me in."
"Not for money? Then it must be for people?" Nan Miaoyin misunderstood the point again.
? ? ?
Are you telling me to go or not?!
"Yes, it was for someone, and that person was you, my dear sister!"
This time, Nan Miaoyin spoke too subtly, so Yu Ling naturally didn't expect that she was still jealous. She thought that Nan Miaoyin had gone to such lengths to get her to save the person, and patted her chest to guarantee that she would bring the person out.
Nan Miaoyin: I don't care if she dies!
Wait a minute, I think I came here to see if Yu Ling had any feelings for Ye Linglong, but somehow I ended up talking about rescuing someone who didn't seem to want to get involved.
After thinking it over, I gave up on agonizing over it. After all, this kid has good judgment and knows to side with me.
The pipe that Nan Miaoyin was touching ultimately failed to light.
After leaving Nanmiaoyin's hut, Yuling hailed a rickshaw and went straight to the guard station. But... why did this young man look so familiar? Wasn't he the one who took her home?
He deserves to make money; he's really good at running around.
After mentally grumbling, Yu Ling entered by scanning her face and went straight to Luo Qi's studio. She saw him frowning as he flipped through documents, completely unaware of her arrival. She immediately asked about the progress and what was going on with Ye Linglong.
This made Luo Qi, who had just felt relieved, become suspicious again.
"What, you want me to release them too? Zhao Zhongkai, I understand that Master Ye is anxious to save his daughter."
He closed the papers in his hand, slammed them on the table, and stood up with a blank expression. As he walked, he spoke...
"However, I just arrested someone, and you got the news so quickly to come and bail him out. Shouldn't I suspect that you were at the party at the time and were also involved in that operation?"
