After being dragged away, Su Li took advantage of the chaos to struggle free from the other person's grasp, and then turned and ran.
Upon seeing this, the man went after her.
She didn't know the way around and just followed her instincts, ending up on a secluded, deserted path.
Hearing the footsteps chasing after her, her heart leaped into her throat.
As she was thinking of a solution, she stepped on a pile of weeds and suddenly lost her footing and fell down.
"Help!"
The person who chased after them didn't see Su Li, but vaguely heard shouts.
She must be nearby!
A figure walked over, and the man suddenly turned his head to look at the other person warily.
Song Qinze stood there, looking at him coldly, and said, "Did Wan'er send you to cause trouble here?"
Chen Qi pulled off his mask and bowed slightly. "Young Master."
Song Qinze strode over, grabbed his collar tightly, and said through gritted teeth, "Didn't I warn you not to touch Su Li again? How dare you disobey my orders!"
"Young Master, the young lady is in this state because of that woman. Why is it that the woman surnamed Su is still alive and well?"
Song Qinze punched Chen Qi directly in the face and shouted angrily, "I don't want to hear such words again. Also, go back and tell Wan'er that if she makes any further moves, I will send her out of Haicheng. This is my last warning to you."
Chen Qi raised his head, his expression revealing a complex emotion. "Young Master, can you bear to see Miss suffering like this?"
“That’s her own doing. If she hadn’t insisted on doing those things, things wouldn’t be like this now. You’ve made too much of a commotion today. Quan Ye has already thoroughly investigated the entire grassland. You should take your people and leave immediately. I’ll take care of the rest.”
If Song Wan's actions are discovered, they will greatly damage the Song family's reputation and image, so he must protect her.
"I also have a very important guest today. Fortunately, he is alright, otherwise you would be held responsible. Get out."
Chen Qi left reluctantly.
Song Qinze looked around and noticed a hole below. He went closer and saw that someone had slipped and fallen there.
Su Li might be inside.
"Miss Su, Miss Su?"
Just then, shouts rang out from outside; it was Quan Ye's men who had come looking for them.
He lifted his foot and brushed aside the weeds to cover the entrance to the hole.
When Zhang Quan brought his men over, he saw that Zhang Quan was also there.
"President Song, why haven't you left yet? Master Quan said that all irrelevant personnel should leave this place immediately."
"I'm worried about Su Li, and I'm looking for her too."
Zhang Quan secretly rolled his eyes and muttered a few words, "Who is Miss Su to you? Why are you so concerned? No wonder Master Quan doesn't like him."
Song Qinze, unaware of what he was muttering, said, "You take some people to search over there, and I'll search here. It'll be faster if we search separately."
"Alright then." Zhang Quan led his men to the other side.
After they left, Song Qinze carefully jumped down into the cave.
The entrance to the cave was neither too big nor too small; it was dark inside, with the occasional sound of dripping water.
Su Li lay unconscious on the ground.
"Su Li?" He went over and helped her up.
Her delicate and pretty face looked pitiful at that moment, and her body was so light that she didn't seem to weigh much, which showed how thin she was usually.
He helped her sit down on a rock to the side and gently brushed a few strands of hair from her cheek.
"Thank goodness you're alright."
Looking at her up close again, Song Qinze's heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.
