Chapter 141 - 90: The Person Who Looks Forward to the 10th Son
Enough!
If this person really is Ge Lan, and Ran Yan did not save her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. As for the consequences, Ran Yan estimated that the likelihood of the matter being exposed was not very high. After all, they, master and servant, had not met for two years, and she had most of the original owner’s memories; even if someone suspected, there was ultimately no evidence. Moreover, having gone through a life and death situation, a drastic change in character could be somewhat justified.
After Ran Yan had made up her mind, she privately shared her doubts with Xing Niang.
Xing Niang’s face could hardly hide her excitement as she choked up and said, "Then we must hurry! There is no time to delay. Ge Lan, that child, has suffered so much!"
The case at the Yin residence had already been solved, causing unrest among the people. The guards assigned to watch Ge Lan might have grown lax, which is why she could send out a message now, and there was no guarantee that those who detained her thinking the trend had gone, would not kill Ge Lan to vent their frustration.
Ran Yan naturally could not share this worry with Xing Niang. It was still uncertain, and losing one’s composure now would not be good. Thus, she said, "We have no one on our side. We cannot go rescue her on our own. There are only a few solutions. The first is for me to personally go down the mountain and ask Inspector Liu for help, the second is to inform Shilang to assist in the rescue, and the third..."
The third is to ask Su Fu for help.
However, Su Fu had said that he only killed people. Asking him to do this might unavoidably lead to loss of life, and then she would be unable to explain it to Inspector Liu. Moreover, why would he help her?
"Old servant believes that asking Shilang for help would be best. Shilang is a businessman, inevitably dealing with all kinds of people. Finding a few men to rescue Ge Lan should not be a problem. If we inform the government and they create a stir, what if those people were to move Ge Lan or silence her permanently?" Xing Niang wiped her tears and agreed.
Ran Yan nodded. She was now a devotee and was effectively under house arrest. If she personally went to find Inspector Liu, who knows how many problems might arise? "I will write two letters, one you will personally deliver to Shilang, and the other let Wan Lu take to Inspector Liu."
Xing Niang also felt this was feasible, so she went to grind the ink.
