Wang Ruo ran almost non-stop towards the secret cave. Just as she passed the Qingliang County boundary marker, she noticed someone following her. At first, she didn't think much of it, thinking it was just some petty thieves on the loose. But she didn't expect this person to follow her for a whole day and night. Although they couldn't catch up, they never vanished from her perception.
Wang Ruo didn't know the origins of the people behind her, so she simply stopped and rested while waiting for the group of petty thieves to show up. What she didn't expect was that the people chasing her were actually people from the black market.
"Greetings, Madam!"
There were many underlings in the black market, but these few were the ones who had been following Jiang Ling, and they were also familiar to Wang Ruo. Normally, Hua Wuxin wouldn't have sent them to deliver messages unless it was something important. Thinking of this, Wang Ruo's nerves became even more tense. "Why are you here? Did something happen in Qingliang Valley?"
Several people said, "I think Madam has heard about the big events in Qingliang Valley along the way. We are here for another matter."
"explain."
"The shopkeeper said that this matter is not convenient to disclose. It is all written in the letter. He asked us to hand it to the lady personally. We are all at the lady's disposal." As they spoke, several people handed over the letters on them.
"What a huge commotion! I want to see what happened." Wang Ruo sorted the letters in order before seeing the content Hua Wuxin had asked them to deliver. From her shocked expression, one could imagine that something major had indeed happened that was closely related to her.
“…How is that possible!”
In a rage, Wang Ruo destroyed all the letters and changed his direction. He also took off a ring he was carrying and handed it to the black market man, saying, "You guys don't have to follow me. Take the map with you. If you meet anyone after you find the secret cave, show this to them."
"yes."
Considering that the information Tang Chen gave her might be true, Wang Ruo handed them the map and layout of the secret cave and said, "If, if there is no one left, or if there is something else, please make sure to search the secret cave thoroughly inside and out."
Wang Ruo pointed to a marked secret room on the layout and emphasized, "If something really happens, make sure to bring back the item placed in the center of this ice cellar intact."
"yes!"
As they rushed towards Zhiyou Forest, Wang Ruo's mind was in a state of confusion. She didn't know if Hua Wuxin's promise was true, but she had to see it for herself. "I don't believe it. He couldn't have done that. If it was really him, he wouldn't have just stood there and watched everything unfold in the town that day. If he had taken action, Li Xinzhai wouldn't have..."
When Wang Ruo arrived at the town where the South Vietnamese army was stationed, these soldiers from South Vietnam were looking at the falling snow and were so happy that they could hardly contain themselves. They looked disgusted and said, "They really are from the south. Are these South Vietnamese soldiers stupid? They have never seen snow. I don't remember that even in South Vietnam, it was not this cold."
In order not to alert the enemy and for her own safety, Wang Ruo could only walk along the outskirts of the town intentionally, trying not to alert the untouchable people guarding the granary.
After "kidnapping" several South Vietnamese soldiers, Wang Ruo also found her way to Ou Yezi's room. After Wang Ruo confirmed that no one was inside or outside the room, she began to search the room with some recklessness. She was looking for evidence that could prove that Ou Yezi was the master. But after searching for a long time, Wang Ruo did not find anything she needed, including the artillery blueprints, except that the room was a bit messy. "...It seems that there is nothing wrong. Could it be that Hua Wuxin is lying to me?"
"He didn't lie to you."
"......!" Wang Ruo turned around abruptly upon hearing this. The man in front of him had an ordinary appearance and dark hair. He was completely different from the gentleman. Even his temperament was a little different.
"I'm still wondering when you'll come to me."
After Ou Yezi said the second sentence, Wang Ruo finally realized that his face, figure, and even temperament were indeed different, but his voice and tone of voice were exactly the same: "How is this voice possible!"
Ou Yezi slowly took off the mask on his face and asked with a smile, "Aruo, long time no see. How have you been lately?"
Wang Ruo tried her best to control her emotions and lowered her voice, fearing that the people of South Vietnam would discover her presence. "You, you bastard, do you know what you are doing? I was skeptical at the time. How could artillery appear out of thin air in South Vietnam? Apart from my sister's casually drawn diagram and Xihe's ability to make explosives of such power, who else could have such a skill?"
Ou Yezi shook his head helplessly and said, "I have my own ideas. This time, I'm sorry I can't go with you."
Wang Ruo was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back, nodding repeatedly. "...Very good, very good. People with different ideals cannot work together. Since you have already decided to stand on the opposite side of me, I will not interfere with you."
After saying this, Wang Ruo was about to leave this dangerous place when Ou Yezi grabbed her and clamped her hands tightly: "I have something to ask you."
Wang Ruo looked at her restrained hands with some anger, and said viciously: "You still have something to ask me, just in case, I also have something to ask you. Tell me honestly, have you done anything bad to Yao Chen and those people in the secret cave?"
After hearing her words, Ou Yezi swallowed back the question that was about to come out of his mouth and replied, "I swear on my family, no."
Wang Ruo warned bluntly, "Okay, I believe you this time. But remember, if I find out what you did to them, even a rabbit will bite when it's angry, let alone me, Wang Ruo."
Ou Yezi explained: "Not to mention that Yaochen is also half of my apprentice, Xihe is still with him."
After saying that, he seemed to know something and added: "There is one more thing. I have to remind you that you'd better not believe everything Hua Wuxin says."
Wang Ruo's eyes widened as she looked up at him angrily and asked, "Oh, what about yours?"
Ou Yezi looked around the yard, making sure there were no South Vietnamese patrolling soldiers. He whispered, "I know you're angry that I didn't tell you, but I do have my own difficulties and plans."
After Wang Ruo struggled to break free from Ou Yezi's grip, she said, "You have your own plans, and I can choose not to ask, but you should at least discuss this matter with me."
