Chapter 330: Chapter 338: So Hateful
“Madam, what should we do? Shall we leave first? We don’t even know who this man is. If he gets Master involved, that would be terrible.” Qi Luo was already angry at the man for injuring Su Wenyue, and now seeing the Government Soldiers turning back to search again, she considered the serious implications and naturally did not want Su Wenyue to get involved any further.
Su Wenyue hesitated somewhat. She had gone to great lengths to find the man, and now to suddenly say they wouldn’t rescue him seemed wrong. Moreover, the fact that the man had spared her after listening to her plea indicated that he was not evil at heart. Had he been one of those ruthless types, he wouldn’t care about her reasons and would have killed her to prevent future problems.
“Let’s find a hidden spot to conceal him, and then leave quickly!” It took only a second for Su Wenyue to decide resolutely.
Su Wenyue couldn’t bear the thought of doing nothing and allowing the general magistrate’s men to find the man. She wouldn’t allow herself and Han Yu to get dragged into this mess. There was no other choice but to hide the man; whether he could avoid capture by the Government Soldiers was up to his own fate. After all, she had done all she could.
In this urgent moment, Su Wenyue paid no heed to the propriety of gender segregation. She helped Qi Luo move the man and suddenly noticed a Jade Pendant at his waist with a signature that made her expression turn solemn. It turned out that he was… It seemed they had no choice but to save him.
“Qi Luo, listen to me, we must save this man. I don’t have time to explain the reason now, but we absolutely can’t let the Government Soldiers take him. You are strong, take him immediately to a safe place, and I will distract the soldiers.” Su Wenyue spoke indisputably, with an unprecedented seriousness and earnestness on her face.
“But Madam, Master said that no matter what, your safety comes first. How can we let you distract the soldiers alone? What if something happens to you?” Qi Luo didn’t understand why Su Wenyue had suddenly changed her attitude, but she definitely didn’t approve of it.
“Do as I say immediately!” Su Wenyue exclaimed sharply. Without waiting for Qi Luo to react, she headed towards the direction of the soldiers’ voices. Qi Luo, despite her anxiety, had no choice but to do as Su Wenyue said. Before leaving, she cleverly created a false trail of blood in the opposite direction.
“Help, help! Somebody come quick, there are bandits!” As Su Wenyue ran, she disheveled her hair, making herself appear somewhat disordered. It wasn’t long before she bumped into the same group of soldiers she had encountered on the Street earlier.
The soldiers looked puzzled upon seeing Su Wenyue here again. They had just seen her, and since Su Wenyue was so striking, they couldn’t have forgotten her if they wanted to, especially Ba Lang, who had previously lusted after her, cast a suspicious gaze at Su Wenyue.
“Young lady, what are you doing here?”
“It’s you, we just met a short while ago! Quick, there’s a thief over there, holding a Dagger; you must capture that Thief before he escapes!”
“What Thief, is it a man in a blue robe?…” As soon as Ba Lang heard that Su Wenyue had encountered a thief, and thinking of the man they were pursuing, the lascivious look on his face diminished substantially, and he became serious. He described the man’s appearance and attire to confirm the identity of the Thief with Su Wenyue.
