With Gu Lang's arrival, Zhao Qinghuai felt much more at ease. To be honest, they weren't worried about the two groups of people outside at all; what they were worried about were the people wearing the same clothes as them.
We must not harm the innocent, nor let the bad apples go unpunished.
In the days that followed, they could only wait for outsiders to take control of the area.
However, for Lin Ying, this wait felt like an eternity.
She was extremely worried about the children's safety, and because there were outsiders present, Lin Ying couldn't take out any food from her spatial storage to give to Hu Zi. This made her start to get irritable.
Because this feeling is like that sense of powerlessness she felt back then, no matter what she did, she couldn't escape the gears of fate.
Zhao Qinghuai noticed Lin Ying's agitation and tried to calm her down, but to no avail.
Before she could lose her temper, Lin Ying couldn't hold back any longer: "I want to be alone for a while. You don't need to come with me. Don't worry, only I can come and go from here. With Hu Zi here, I'll ensure my safety. I'll be back soon."
If Zhao Qinghuai continued, she was genuinely afraid she might expose the secret of the space. But this was her bottom line; she didn't want to reveal it to Zhao Qinghuai yet.
Watching Lin Ying's departing figure, Zhao Qinghuai's tightly clenched hand finally loosened weakly, without reacting even as his fingernails pricked and bled.
He knew that he had failed to give Lin Ying enough security.
Although he had provided Lin Ying with a relatively safe environment all along, she had to solve all the problems on her own, as she was used to facing them alone.
Lin Ying was worried about the child, and so was he. But now, this was the best solution. If they went out, it would only complicate things.
It's not a problem with the gold itself, but rather, what's lurking behind the unknown risks outside? Their going out will only make things more passive.
After Lin Ying left and confirmed that Zhao Qinghuai hadn't followed, she found a surveillance camera, covered it, and immediately entered the space.
She first introduced meat to Tiger. For the past two days, Tiger has been eating canned meat, but only in small amounts, which is not enough for an adult tiger.
Although those people thought it was delicious for Tiger to eat rice and meat, Lin Ying still felt that it was unfair to him.
While Hu Zi was eating, Lin Ying bought a drone inside.
Afterwards, Lin Ying went to the outer perimeter, avoiding the surveillance cameras, so even the people monitoring her couldn't find her.
Having roughly determined the children's location, Lin Ying flew the drone high into the sky. When the camera captured the children's situation, seeing Haoyu constantly looking in that direction while Er Ya remained relaxed and carefree, Lin Ying was certain the children were safe.
Now she could finally relax.
After retrieving the drone, Lin Ying took Hu Zi back.
But deep down, Lin Ying decided that no matter what, she would never keep the child.
When Lin Ying returned, she saw Zhao Qinghuai packing his things.
She asked excitedly, "Have you received contact from the outside?"
Zhao Qinghuai gave Lin Ying a deep look, which made Lin Ying feel a little guilty, but she still pretended that nothing had happened.
Zhao Qinghuai felt a little disappointed when he saw that Lin Ying didn't intend to tell him how she had adjusted her emotions.
Given Lin Ying's personality, she wouldn't have acted this way if she wasn't certain the child was safe. But clearly, she had no intention of telling him how she determined the child's safety.
Zhao Qinghuai felt as heavy as if he had cotton stuck in his throat, but in the end he could only sigh: "No, it's not a good idea for me to leave the child outside, so I discussed it with Gu Lang. He's here with his men, so we'll go out first."
Lin Ying was about to say something when she noticed Zhao Qinghuai's expression was a little off: "What's wrong with you?"
Just as Zhao Qinghuai was about to speak, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and became much weaker. Lin Ying's expression changed, and she quickly took Zhao Qinghuai's pulse.
At this moment, Zhao Qinghuai's pulse was weak, but his internal energy was surging continuously.
However, Zhao Qinghuai seemed oblivious, wiping away the blood and saying, "It's alright, let's go, let's leave first."
Lin Ying panicked: "How are you going to leave like this? What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Qinghuai thought his anger stemmed from his deep concern for Lin Ying, but if he said it was because he was bothered by Lin Ying's secrecy, it would seem like he was forcing her to reveal her secret, and he didn't want any scheming between them. So he told her not to worry: "I'm really fine."
Lin Ying was very worried. It seemed like something was running around inside Zhao Qinghuai's body, but it didn't seem like he was poisoned.
But one thing is certain: if Zhao Qinghuai moves around carelessly, something bad will happen: "Don't move, Zhao Si! Didn't you hear me telling you not to move?"
Lin Ying spoke louder because she was anxious, which made those around her realize that there might be a conflict between the two.
Everyone fell silent and looked this way.
Lin Ying sighed: "Brother Gu, could you let my husband and I talk alone for a while?"
Gu Lang replied, "Okay, okay! Didn't you hear me? Let's go, let's go outside. Why go to the monitoring room? Let's go outside!"
Once everyone was sure they had left, Lin Ying looked at Zhao Qinghuai, who was now cautiously watching her because of her outburst, and instantly laughed in exasperation: "Sit down!"
Zhao Qinghuai sat down on the stone bench. Lin Ying had never wanted to tell Zhao Qinghuai the secret of the space, all because she was influenced by Mo Zi's memories. If the space were known to others, it would be destroyed.
Similarly, the betrayals of the men in the novels that Mo Zi remembered also bothered her. She worried that one day Zhao Qinghuai would do the same to her, and she would end up with nothing.
