Chapter 197 Fu Zixian's Jade Pendant (1)
Wen Yantong complained in a low voice, "Why don't you wake me up? Time is of the essence."
Chi Jingxi's hand on her cheeks squeezed with increased force. After squeezing a few times, he let go after she stretched out her hand to stop him. "Tell me, what's going on?"
Wen Yantong rubbed her face and replied, "I heard that Fu Zixian was injured."
Chi Jingxi responded calmly, "None of his bones has been fractured."
Wen Yantong frowned, "I'm worried that you will also be injured, so if I couldn't sit still, it's best if the authorities can catch them as soon as possible."
He sat on the edge of the bed and said in a low voice, "There are three possible paths that can be taken to descend this mountain. There aren’t enough people to set up defenses on all three roads. We can’t act rashly since we do not know which path they will take."
Wen Yantong said, "I have a method."
Chi Jingxi suddenly turned to look at her, his eyes were profound, his thoughts all veiled and indecipherable.
Wen Yantong knew that he must have many questions, but the current situation did not allow explanations; moreover, she hadn’t come up with a proper explanation.
Thus, when Chi Jingxi turned to look at her, she suddenly moved closer, took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, and pressed her lips on his.
Chi Jingxi only paused for a moment, and quickly reacted by wrapping his arms around her. He closened their distance, deepening their exchange.
Wen Yantong's actions this time were much more bold than their previous two times, which caused Chi Jingxi to almost lose control as his body gradually began to heat up. In the end, he suppressed his impulse, hugged Wen Yantong in place as he turned his head to calm down his heavy breathing.
Wen Yantong clung to him, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "I'll explain everything to you after we get out, okay?"
What could Chi Jingxi do other than trust her? Helpless at her antics, he could only exhort, "Stay cautious."
Wen Yantong grinned, "With you here, I have nothing to fear."
Chi Jingxi endured the dryness of his mouth, and unbuttoned his collar to dissipate some of the heat from his body.
"What are the three ways down the mountain?" Wen Yantong straightened his clothes.
"One to the east and two to the south." Chi Jingxi allowed her to move on his clothes as she pleased.
Wen Yantong thought for a while and said with a solemn expression, "Have the authorities put most of their people in the east pathway and leave just a few people on the other two roads. Capture anyone passing by the southern roads. As for the people using the eastern path, allow them to pass temporarily while keeping an eye on their movements."
Chi Jingxi looked at her in surprise after hearing this, and soon understood her plans. He then asked, "How are you sure they will take the eastern road?"
Wen Yantong assured, "I'm sure of this."
Chi Jingxi said, "How sure?"
Wen Yantong was silent for a moment and finally answered a number, "Eighty percent."
After a moment of silent contemplation, Chi Jingxi kissed Wen Yantong and said, "The transfer will be completed within half a day."
Wen Yantong knew that he had agreed, so she smiled, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get out safely, and will also put all these people in jail."
She had always been of low status and short stature, and was often the first to start trembling whenever they encountered anything, but this time Chi Jingxi saw an inexplicably reassurance and calmness in her smile.
He recalled back when they were in the underground hideout at Nian'an Temple. Even though Wen Yantong was extremely frightened, to the point her hands kept shaking from fear, she did not flinch when facing the criminals. When he was injured, she came forward to help stop the bleeding and talk to him to keep him conscious.
Truth was, Wen Yantong had always been reliable, but this trait of hers was not an easily discoverable one.
Chi Jingxi exposed a faint smile, gently patted the top of her head, and said, "Don't be afraid, I will never let you face any danger."
Wen Yantong’s heart beat sped up at his words, she didn't know what to say in response and just nodded slowly. Then she watched him put on the silver mask, extinguish the light in his sleeve, kiss her forehead in the darkness, and finally left.
His departure was the same as before, without any sound. Wen Yantong continued to sit for a while and found that the room was extremely silent. It took a while before she finally realized that she was the only one in the room.
After talking to Chi Jingxi, Wen Yantong’s mind was re-energised and it took her a while before slowly falling asleep again.
Since no one bothered her, she slept until late in the morning, and continued to laze in bed some more.
When Wen Yantong washed up and went out, she saw Jiang Yan wandering in the yard, with an anxious look on his face. But when he saw Wen Yantong come out, a fearful expression appeared on his face.
Just as she was about to speak to Jiang Yan, Wen Yantong saw him running back to his room and closing the door tightly shut.
Wen Yantong helplessly shrugged. After she asked for some food, she went back to her room and started to stare into the nothingness.
Once it was the afternoon, Wen Yantong called to inquire, "Have the two other leaders returned?"
The masked man replied, "Not yet."
Wen Yantong didn't ask anything else, and immediately had someone to summon the red masked man. Now that the red masked man had some trust in her, his attitude had completely turned. Not long after her request, he arrived.
Wen Yantong asked him, "Autumn and Winter still haven't returned yet?"
The red masked man answered, "We have already sent people out to look for them."
She shook her head with a collected face. "Everything bodes ill, no positive signs."
The red masked man speculated, "Perhaps they have been impeded by something."
"Even if there was some hindrance, it shouldn’t have stopped both people. The government authorities must have already made their way up the mountain to surround us. The only way to do this is to evacuate as soon as possible. If we hesitate any longer, no one will be able to leave." Wen Yantong sternly said, "Do you have a plan for the evacuation route?"
The red masked man hesitated for a moment, and then answered, "There are three roads; two to the south, leading directly to Chuanyang, and one to the east, which requires crossing the river to reach Nie City."
"Go south." Wen Yantong said, "There are two roads in the south, it is easier to escape."
The red masked man said nothing, as if he couldn't make the decision in this matter.
Wen Yantong was not in a hurry and just continued, "Discuss with the other man which path to take. The sooner the better. I must continue to gain their trust, so I can't reveal my identity to them just yet. I’ll be visiting the young master of Fu Residence later."
The red mask hummed in response and left with haste, as if in a hurry to discuss with the green masked man.
Wen Yantong remained calm and steady. Their leaders, Autumn and Winter, should have already been arrested, or perhaps captured by General Mu himself. According to the original book, these people evacuated in a hurry after discovering that the two leaders had been arrested. One group went to the southern paths while the other group took the eastern road.
However, only a limited number of people evacuated south, and most of them evacuated from the east. Although the authorities followed up closely, some people still escaped.
Wen Yantong had deliberately said to go south, and had given a rather shallow reason. With the green masked man's suspicion, he would definitely repeatedly mull over her intention of directing them south.
