Chapter 51: The Untasted Roasted Potato
"Li... Youcai?!"
Suizi’s voice couldn’t help but tremble in shock. Him?!
"My brother and I, following Jingting’s plan, hid out in our village’s small woodland, and watched Li Youcai sneak past..."
The younger brother narrated their experience in detail.
To brighten up his wife’s mood, Yu Jingting spent most of the earlier day near the tree by the village entrance, marking off suspicious spots on the ground with small twigs.
He and his group took turns watching these marked locations. Each suspicious spot having two people keeping an eye on it.
The informer was Yang Dazhi, who was paired with his brother Yang Erkui to keep an eye on the Yang Village’s small woodland.
Both brothers were in their late teens, an age where they idolized their older brother. They yearned for an opportunity to impress Jingting.
"He was acting so suspiciously, so sly... We thought we could nab him right there, but we remembered Jingting’s rule — always apprehend in pairs, never just one person."
Suizi looked at Yu Jingting in admiration.
Jingting was not just some hot-headed fool. His actions were a mix of rough internality and delicate exterior with a grand strategic vision.
