Chapter 465 - 464: Unease
Wei Zhirong was full of surprise when she saw Xie Yuanzhou, "Brother Xie, why are you here."
Xie Yuanzhou didn’t say a word, looking at the bruised and battered face of Wei Zhirong, his expression was very unpleasant, and finally he couldn’t help but pat her head, asking: "Does it hurt?"
Hearing this, Wei Zhirong was still a bit unresponsive, finally shaking her head blankly, saying: "It doesn’t hurt."
Xie Yuanzhou didn’t believe a word of it, "It’s like this, how can it not hurt."
Seeing the two like this, Yiyi did not approach further but went to Wen Tao’s side, asking: "Little Tao, are you okay?"
Wen Tao shook her head, saying: "I’m fine, it’s just some minor injuries, Yiyi, really thank you guys, otherwise Zhirong and I were going to be sold to the South." She really didn’t expect to be caught by traffickers one day. That day, when leaving the house, someone came to kidnap her, but she didn’t take it seriously, didn’t expect to realize her carelessness after the confrontation, and in the end, she got Wei Zhirong involved.
That day, those people were just about to take her away from Shangjing, unexpectedly encountered Zhirong on the way, and then Zhirong quietly followed. However, in the end, she was discovered, and Zhirong, like her, became a lamb to be slaughtered.
Hearing Wen Tao’s words, Yiyi then understood why Wei Zhirong was also caught; it turned out she wanted to save Wen Tao.
At this time, Wei Zhirong sighed on the side, saying: "It’s all because I was too useless, not only failing to save Little Tao but also getting myself caught, luckily you guys came to rescue us, otherwise I and Little Tao really wouldn’t know what to do."
At this time Wei Zixiao rushed over, seeing his sister safe, he breathed a sigh of relief, then started to scold, "Wei Zhirong, do you have a pig’s brain? I told you to go home and report, and you ended up getting yourself lost, how could you be so stupid."
Hearing this, Wei Zhirong felt a bit wronged.
At the time, she really was anxious, fearing that once she left, she couldn’t find Little Tao, so she hurried to catch up, not expecting to be discovered; she didn’t want it either.
Seeing Wei Zhirong’s tear-filled eyes, Yiyi was just about to say something when Xie Yuanzhou beside them frowned and said: "Zhirong just wanted to save someone; she’s already hurt, yet you still scold her."
"I..."
Wei Zixiao was caught short, he certainly worried about his sister, but wasn’t he hoping she’d learn a lesson for the future? Quickly, he glared at Xie Yuanzhou, immediately saying: "I’m lecturing my sister, what’s it got to do with you." He knew well enough about his sister’s feelings for Xie Yuanzhou, but this guy was always indifferent, and now he dared to criticize him, how could he tolerate it?
Hearing this, Xie Yuanzhou pressed his lips together, finally saying: "Alright, let’s get out of here first." Saying this, he directly picked up Wei Zhirong.
Seeing Xie Yuanzhou’s actions, Wei Zixiao’s eyes widened, then he reacted immediately, quickly said: "Xie Yuanzhou, let me carry Zhirong, you hand her over to me."
At this moment, Wei Zhirong was completely stunned.
She just nestled dazedly in Xie Yuanzhou’s arms, her mind blank. It was only when she felt Xie Yuanzhou carrying her outside that her mind came back, quickly saying: "I... I can walk by myself."
"You’re injured."
Xie Yuanzhou said blandly, still carrying Wei Zhirong.
Seeing Xie Yuanzhou like this, Yiyi couldn’t help but smile, it seemed Wei Zhirong’s feelings finally had some return, so she turned attention away from her, looking at Wen Tao, saying: "Little Tao, your big brother and the others are also looking for you, let’s leave here quickly."
Wen Tao smiled and nodded, but the smile tugged on the wounds on her face, grimacing and hissing several times, yet her eyes were full of smiles as if it didn’t hurt at all.
Yiyi was about to take Wen Tao out when Gu Tingyu came over, his expression somewhat serious, saying: "That Leng Ning is missing."
"What..."
Hearing this, Yiyi was full of surprise, "How can that be, didn’t we just have everyone controlled?"
Wen Tao beside her was also anxious, "How could he be missing, that Leng Ning, although not the leader, is a cautious and ruthless person, and within this group, he plays a crucial role, I heard that many deals of this group were masterminded by him."
Yiyi felt it was quite tricky upon hearing that.
"Send someone to look, that person poses a bigger threat than the leader."
Gu Tingyu directly said: "I’ve already sent someone to look, but whether we can find him is uncertain."
At that, everyone’s good mood was almost gone.
"Tingyu, let’s head back first." Yiyi looked at Wen Tao this way, intending to take her back first, but she didn’t forget about the escaped Leng Ning, directly letting Yun Chu take people to continue the search.
"Little Miss, rest assured, we will thoroughly search." Yun Chu said while taking people to search.
And Gu Tingyu also sent people to continue searching for that Leng Ning, then took Yiyi and the others back.
When Wen Lin arrived, the two siblings couldn’t help but have red-rimmed eyes.
"Brother, I thought I’d never see you again."
Hearing his sister’s words, Wen Lin felt heartache, finally quickly hugging Wen Tao saying: "Alright, Little Tao, it’s all fine now, brother will definitely protect you in the future, never letting you meet any danger again."
Wen Tao nodded with red eyes.
"Alright, stop crying, Dad will be here soon, he was also greatly relieved to know you’re alright."
Just as he finished speaking, Wen Hong’an came over, upon seeing his daughter return safely, his expression visibly relaxed, then looked at Gu Tingyu and Yiyi, saying: "Yiyi, thank you both."
"Uncle Wen, there’s really no need to thank us, you should take Little Tao back quickly, she’s injured and needs proper attention."
"Yes, yes."
Wen Hong’an quickly nodded in agreement.
Although Wen Tao kept insisting she was fine, Wen Hong’an and Wen Lin were still worried, and eventually hurried her to the hospital.
After Gu Tingyu and the others left, he looked at Yiyi saying: "Yiyi, I need to take some people back first."
Yiyi quickly nodded saying: "Your work is most important, hurry back."
Gu Tingyu patted Yiyi’s head, and finally took people away.
You Zhen was following at the end of the group, seeing the interaction between Gu Tingyu and Yiyi, his eyes couldn’t help but flicker. Thinking of the words he had previously spoken, he suddenly regretted them a bit; he shouldn’t have impulsively said those things. Gu Tingyu’s fiancée didn’t seem simple, but thinking of his own family’s situation, he put his mind at ease; after all, the You Family wasn’t to be trifelled with.
But when he learned of the organization’s arrangements for him, You Zhen suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
"Leader, why am I being transferred out of Organization 1? I think I’ve performed well and haven’t done anything against the rules; you can’t just casually let me leave."
