"Tomorrow, I’ll head to town to gather some information before making a decision." Third Young Master Jun embraced her, having his own thoughts but considering her feelings.

Ye Lu felt a vague sense of resolve in his tone. Her heart skipped a beat as she wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled into his embrace, speaking quietly.

"I don’t care what your plan is, but I have one demand: you’re not to think of any strategy that involves sacrificing yourself to save me. Otherwise, I’ll just run out there and let my godfather catch me."

Her voice was calm, utterly decisive, and devoid of any hint of jest.

Third Young Master Jun was speechless, realizing she had even learned to threaten him. This little woman...

"Promise me, we escape together, or we are caught together," Ye Lu held his hand.

"Okay."

...

"After investigating all day, what information do we have?" The godfather sat in a rosewood chair, a cup of clear tea in his hand, his stern face showing displeasure.

Fei Ying stepped in, his voice firm and emotionless: "Ye Lu did not pass the checkpoint; she secretly fled, eluding all of our watchers. But by noon, we got a tip-off. In a remote mountain village, a pregnant woman and a man, spies, burned down several houses and escaped from the patrol team’s pursuit. I believe the woman must be Ye Lu."

Su Feiman’s eyes darkened with anger: "Clever Ye Lu, to see through my plan. It seems she truly is the illegitimate daughter of the Hua family; otherwise, she wouldn’t have fled. Hua Yiren, the impostor, wasted quite a bit of my time. The pregnant woman is her, right? And who’s the man she’s gone to find?"

"A man named Xie Wen, but Su City’s patrol team caught another Xie Wen simultaneously, so this Xie Wen must be using a false identity. And according to Xie Wen’s wife Mei, this man is intimate with Ye Lu, I’m afraid his identity is..."

"Are you suggesting he’s Jun Huang?" Su Feiman’s cold and harsh face brimmed with a menacing killing intent, and he hurled the teacup along with the boiling water directly at Fei Ying.

The white porcelain shattered on the floor, the sound shocking, while the scalding tea cascaded down Fei Ying’s tanned face, reddening a large patch of his skin.

Yet, he remained expressionless, like a thoughtless and loyal robot.

"Yes, according to various signs, he is likely Jun Huang." His voice remained calm.

"I told you to keep an eye on him, and you were outwitted by him instead, spending so many days unable to find any information on him, claiming with much assurance that he was dead! So who’s the one alive now?"

Su Feiman was unmercifully sarcastic, looking down condescendingly at the figure bowed before him.

"You truly are a dog, a useless one at that."

Fei Ying’s back stiffened as he lowered his head, "I will personally lead a team to search for them and capture Ye Lu and him."

"Hmph, I dare not trust your competence any longer. Issue my command throughout all the Su Family territories—broadcast the news and play their photos and descriptions on loudspeakers, announcing that whoever captures them will be awarded a reward of ten million. With such a nationwide manhunt, I, Su Feiman, want to see where he can run to! The moment he shows himself, he will fall into the net for sure!"

Su Feiman revealed a confident demeanor, a strategist behind the scenes, this disciple is still not fierce enough.

If it weren’t for Ye Lu, if he could just brush aside the troublesome burden of Ye Lu and ignore her, with his capabilities, he could surely escape beyond my sphere of power.

Pity, this woman will always be his fatal weakness.

What a disappointment!
