Chapter 505 - Chapter 505: Chapter 512: Rescue Plan (2/2)

Certainly, Su Hengyi was surprised. But he knew that Sikong Ling’s help must be due to his brother-in-law, and perhaps his younger sister too. Recalling the confrontation between Han Yu and Sikong Ling at the Su Family’s doorstep, although the Su Family had always pretended not to know, being right outside their own gate, how could they really be oblivious? Yet surprisingly, Han Yu and Sikong Ling ended up working together.

“Please thank your Young Master for me. I was originally worried whether I could pass the hurdles successfully, but with your master here, those worries are no longer an issue.” Regardless, Su Hengyi was grateful that Sikong Ling had stepped in at this time.

Su Hengyi might not understand the reason, but those who served close to the master knew of the master’s concern for Miss Su. Naturally, they didn’t dare to neglect her big brother and responded courteously. The master sending him to communicate with Su Hengyi was no doubt intended to curry favor with Miss Su’s Su Family.

“Brother Hengyi, can we really trust this Young Master Sikong?” Feng Ruolin watched the Sikong Family’s servant depart, her words tinged with worry. With the execution day drawing closer, not only the Prison but the entire Chang’an City had tightened security. It seemed that Wang Mang had become aware of their presence, unable to catch anyone. After planning for so long, this was their only chance to rescue the Marquis Bei’an and his son. Even though they knew that the Young Master Sikong Ling had been helping them in secret, Feng Ruolin still couldn’t completely relax, since she knew little about the Sikong Family and Sikong Ling.

“We have no choice but to trust him now. If Brother-in-law managed to get Young Master Sikong’s assistance, he must be confident. Moreover, with the current situation in Chang’an City, we couldn’t rescue them on our own. The only ones we can rely on, besides Brother-in-law’s men, are Young Master Sikong,” Su Hengyi responded.

Feng Ruolin obviously understood this as well, “That’s the only way.”

“Sister Ruolin, you don’t need to worry too much. Although I don’t know much about the Sikong Family, I trust Brother-in-law. I have also heard some things about Young Master Sikong; he is neither entirely righteous nor evil, unorthodox in his actions, but he values his promises. Since he has agreed to this matter, he should not go back on his word. Let’s consult with Zhai Mo later on. He should know how to deal with the Sikong Family’s affairs,” Su Hengyi comforted Feng Ruolin but was not without worry himself and immediately went to find Zhai Mo.

Zhai Mo was somewhat surprised but answered without hesitation, “Since Young Master Sikong stated it so, he should be able to deliver. At this point, all we can do is trust him.”

Conversely, even if Sikong Ling couldn’t fulfill his promise, they had no way to respond. Although Han Yu had developed to this extent, his foundation wasn’t in Chang’an, and inserting some of his people here couldn’t compare to Sikong Ling. Without Sikong Ling’s assistance, their progress would have been difficult; so now, they could only trust Sikong Ling, who had no reason to concoct such a ruse to deceive them.

Seeing Zhai Mo’s reaction, Su Hengyi finally felt somewhat relieved. As the day of the plan approached and time grew short, although Su Hengyi had made all the arrangements, he checked again to ensure there were no oversights and to guarantee the smooth implementation of the plan on that day.

The father and son of the Marquis Bei’an, along with others in prison, were also unprecedentedly anxious. They had been prepared to face death, but upon receiving the note from Su Hengyi passed from outside, they were not so much glad as they were concerned for Su Hengyi’s safety. No one knew better than they the rigor of the Prison’s security arrangements; Wang Mang, the old villain, had made extensive preparations, specifically waiting for those coming to their rescue to walk into his trap.
