Chapter 284 - 112 East Mountain_2
But he didn’t say anything, just laughed heartily and said, "Very good, very good, with this, I see that our task will be half as difficult. Jiang Li, I’ll leave the rest to you; I’m going to brief the brothers first."
Ye Mingyu went outside to instruct his subordinates, and Jiang Li watched his retreating figure, feeling both guilty and moved. Despite the many doubts, Ye Mingyu asked nothing because of her and trusted her wholeheartedly. This trust was immensely precious to her and she would remember it forever. Since arriving in Tongxiang, Ye Mingyu had been by her side to assist; tonight, he would have to travel overnight again without any rest. Jiang Li didn’t want him to work so hard, but on the other side was her father.
She believed that while she was thinking of strategies, Feng Yutang must also be trying to inform Princess Yongning about the situation here. Once Princess Yongning learned of this matter, she would undoubtedly try to get Feng Yutang to stop her, but Jiang Li thought it more likely that Yongning would directly order Feng Yutang to kill her.
The key to this war between her and Feng Yutang was time. Whoever was faster would gain an advantage in the fight to win. She dared not pause, not even for a moment.

Though it was just one visit, she still remembered every place she had been to. Even though the East Mountain might have changed somewhat due to Feng Yutang’s "mining," the general layout should remain the same.
By marking the location of the East Mountain Mine Path, it would make the investigation easier for Ye Mingyu and his men. However, once Ye Mingyu initially figured out what the situation was there, she would still need to go to East Mountain herself. Those subordinates of her father’s, with whom she had been in close company in the past, knew her best. If she wanted them to come forward and trust her, Ye Mingyu wouldn’t suffice; she had to talk to them personally.
It wouldn’t be much longer; soon it would be done.
