Logically, they should be acting separately, but acting separately means Xia Chuyi can only have herself to rely on.

Xiao Jingqi was somewhat worried; if it was just her accompanying Xia Chuyi, and anything unexpected happened, she might not be able to handle it.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi said, "Jingqi, don’t worry too much. Even if we act separately, I’m still together with you."

"As long as it’s just the two of us together, nothing will happen." Xia Chuyi smiled slightly, still calm.

"Then..." Seeing Xia Chuyi so calm, Xiao Jingqi gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, let’s separate from them."

Then the two soldiers who were with them went down one of the forked paths.

As for Xia Chuyi and Xiao Jingqi, they went down the other path.

Perhaps it was a predestined ominous connection, the two walked along the alley for a while.

Not far ahead, Xia Chuyi unexpectedly saw Mother Xia and Xia Lianlian’s figures; the two were crossing the alley.

"Xia Lianlian!" Seeing this, Xia Chuyi immediately whispered.

"Where?" Hearing this, Xiao Jingqi immediately looked ahead and asked Xia Chuyi, "Where are they? Are there others?"

As she asked, Xiao Jingqi reflexively positioned herself in front of Xia Chuyi.

Seeing Xiao Jingqi like this, Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "You don’t need to be nervous."

"I only saw Xia Lianlian and Mother Xia." After a moment’s thought, Xia Chuyi added, "This situation is more or less as I predicted before."

"Xia Lianlian should not be together with the people behind her."

"Otherwise, ’that person’ definitely wouldn’t let her make that call to me."

Xia Chuyi shared her analysis with Xiao Jingqi.

"Hmm, good that there aren’t other people." Xiao Jingqi immediately nodded and said, "Let’s report to the captain right away!"

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "No, let’s follow them first, observe their landing spot, and then go back to tell my brother. Many haven’t returned, they might have disappeared already."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingqi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright."

Then the two moved on towards where Xia Lianlian and Mother Xia had disappeared.

After walking for a while, they indeed saw Xia Lianlian and Mother Xia.

Next, Xia Lianlian led Mother Xia through several curves to a lakeside park.

Upon reaching, Xia Lianlian and Mother Xia seemed to have gotten into an argument.

"Lian’er, where are we going?" Only Mother Xia’s voice was heard asking her daughter, "We’ve been hiding all these days..."

Mother Xia was somewhat sorrowful, wiping her eyes, and said, "Lian’er, why don’t we go find your husband?"

"You find him yourself if you want!" Upon hearing this, Xia Lianlian rolled her eyes.

"Lian’er..." Being spoken to like this by her daughter, Mother Xia felt even more aggrieved, her eyes turned redder.

"Fine, just follow me!" Xia Lianlian looked at Mother Xia with disdain, saying, "I certainly won’t mistreat you!"

Although this is what she said, Xia Lianlian thought to herself: Humph, if it weren’t for her having some use value, Xia Lianlian wouldn’t bother with her.

Then, Xia Lianlian looked ahead,

"Is it this place? The place they told me to bring her..." At this moment, Xia Lianlian stopped in her tracks, glancing around incoherently.

Indeed, Xia Lianlian brought Mother Xia to this place because the people behind her had specifically instructed her to bring someone here.

"But, bringing someone here, can the plan really proceed as planned?" Xia Lianlian was somewhat doubtful.

"What plan?" Upon hearing Xia Lianlian’s muttering, Mother Xia immediately asked aloud, "Lian’er, what are you talking about?"
