Lu Ze's answer surprised Yu Yao.
What do you really think?
Lu Ze nodded, his expression serious and solemn.
Perhaps because he joined the army in his teens, Lu Ze did not have the arrogance and impetuosity that other children of high-ranking officials possessed.
Only the composure cultivated through years of military experience.
While Lu Yunqi, who is seven years younger than Lu Ze, was still begging his parents and using his family connections to protect him, Lu Ze had already received numerous honors.
The youngest three-time champion soldier on the island, a valiant general who can stand alone...
These honors are insufficient to fully describe his excellence.
Sometimes, Yu Yao finds this kind of person rather endearing.
For example, right now.
She had only asked out of curiosity, but he answered her seriously and earnestly.
Looking back, he always responded seriously and responsibly to his questions, whether they were jokes or casual inquiries.
She has excellent manners.
To Yu Yao's surprise, she was also somewhat pleased.
I am once again proud of my good taste in choosing a marriage partner.
Yu Yao smiled and gave him an appreciative look: "You're quite good at talking, and you have a good understanding of things."
"Thank you for the compliment," Lu Ze said calmly.
Yu Yao was amused, never expecting that such a serious and aloof person would accept praise so confidently.
There's an inexplicable cuteness to it.
Seeing her smile, Lu Ze's eyes and brows relaxed as well.
It has to be said that Lu Ze was a big plus today.
These human traffickers are only a part of the group; Li Weibing and other human traffickers are still hiding in the mountain god temple on the mountaintop.
When the police were about to go up the mountain to arrest people, Yu Yao volunteered: "When I was a child, I often went to the mountain god temple to play hide-and-seek with my friends. I know there is a secret passage that allows us to enter the mountain god temple without alerting the traffickers."
The police officers said, "Then we'll trouble Comrade Yu to lead the way."
Some of the police escorted Xiong Ge and the others down the mountain, while the rest followed Yu Yao to the mountain god temple.
Just as Yu Yao was about to lead the way, Lu Ze walked in front of her.
"The mountain road is slippery, you point the way, I'll go first, and you follow behind me."
Yu Yao nodded and pointed southeast: "The shortest route to the mountain god temple is from that direction."
Lu Ze walked at the front, a machete in his left hand and a wooden stick in his right.
While scaring away snakes, insects, and rodents in the grass, they cleared a path for one person to pass through.
In the original owner's memories, there used to be a road here.
It's just that no one has walked on it for many years, and the road has long been covered with weeds and various saw-like vines.
The person at the front has the heaviest task, and no matter how careful they are, they will inevitably get red marks from the saw vines.
On the other hand, Yu Yao was unharmed because Lu Ze protected her.
Led by Yu Yao, the group quickly arrived at the mountain god temple located on the mountaintop.
This temple was built before liberation by a wealthy landlord from the foot of the mountain to escape the Japanese invaders.
The materials and workers used were of good quality, and even after decades, the main structure of the temple remains intact.
If it hadn't been destroyed during the "Destroy the Four Olds" campaign a few years ago, it would still be thriving today.
The police officers stared at the tightly closed temple gates, at a loss for what to do.
"There is only one way to enter the mountain god temple: through the main gate."
"It will probably be difficult to rescue people without alerting those inside."
All the police officers instinctively looked at Yu Yao and asked, "Comrade Yu, do you have a solution?"
Even they didn't know where their confidence in Yu Yao came from.
Perhaps it was her unexpected skill, or perhaps it was her calm and methodical leadership along the way.
All of this made them feel inexplicably trusting.
Yu Yao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by their trust, then smiled and said, "You've really come to the right person. I don't know about others, but I do know a secret passage leading to the Mountain God Temple."
The original owner of this body grew up under the tyranny of Han Fenglan, and whenever she was unhappy, she liked to run to the mountain god temple.
She knew exactly where the secret passages, dog holes, and hidden passages were in the mountain god temple.
Yu Yao led the people around to the foot of the mountain behind the mountain god temple.
There is a hidden cave here that leads directly to the guest rooms in the backyard of the mountain god temple.
However, the passage had fallen into disrepair over the years, and at the very end, it was only wide enough for the petite Yu Yao to walk together.
There was no other way but for the others to stay and clean up, while Yu Yao went out to check the situation first.
Lu Ze was a little worried. "Let's wait a moment while I go out to investigate."
“Brother Xiong and the others haven’t returned for so long, Li Weibing and the others are probably starting to suspect something. Every second that’s delayed increases the danger to those trafficked women and children.”
Yu Yao winked at him.
"Don't worry, life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate."
"Hmm?" Lu Ze looked at her.
Yu Yao patted Lu Ze on the shoulder, "Just kidding, I value my life and won't take any risks. Trust me!"
After saying that, Yu Yao crouched down and crawled into the passage. Following the original owner's memories, she walked for a short while before reaching the end.
Looking at the wooden board above her head, Yu Yao leaned in and listened.
After confirming that no one was outside, they carefully moved the wooden plank away.
The exit was hidden in a woodpile, concealed by weeds and branches, and no one noticed it.
Yu Yao tiptoed out and peered through the crack in the woodshed window.
Observe secretly.
There were about five or six people in the courtyard, including Li Weibing, who was talking to another man with a square face and a scar.
There was a man standing in front of each of the two rooms to her left; the arrested person was probably being held in those two rooms.
Yu Yao went to the corner.
There is a secret passage that leads to every room in the mountain god's temple.
She carefully squeezed in and peered through the hidden passage to check the two rooms.
As expected, the people who had been kidnapped by human traffickers were kept in this room.
