Chapter 308: Chapter 308 Madam, You Walk Too Slowly, It’s Inconvenient to Take You with Me
"Uncle Ye! Uncle Ye!" Tang Suiyu rushed over, disregarding everything.
Feng Li scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, quickly sweeping over the people lying on the ground. "He’s not here!"
Was it good news or bad news?
Tang Suiyu’s heart pounded violently as she weakly asked, "He won’t be in trouble, right?"
Just a moment ago, he hadn’t paid attention to her, and now seeing her somewhat disheveled appearance, she was still just an inexperienced eighteen-year-old girl after all.
Feng Li couldn’t bear to leave her question unanswered, "He won’t be!"
"That’s good. He’s so capable, how could he be in trouble!" Tang Suiyu comforted herself with words, but her heart was as tense as a steel rod twisted continuously, invading her flesh inch by inch, like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
"Remember this place, the corpses of these people must be dealt with." She slowly walked out, "Do you know where to find Uncle Ye?"
"I don’t know!"
Feng Li looked around, packed some more food and medical supplies into Tang Suiyu’s bag, and carried a larger bag himself. Only then did they leave.
This time, they walked slower because they were moving through the woods and didn’t dare take the main road.
Sunlight dotted through the trees, illuminating their path as Tang Suiyu followed closely behind Feng Li.
Thinking about the recent events, even their assassination attempt had been so blatant. Was it really as threatening as they said, that Uncle Ye must not make it back alive, and they must take his life?
Was Ye Gushen’s life so easy to take?
"Let’s sit down and rest for a bit." Feng Li stopped in front of a large rock.
Tang Suiyu sat down while Feng Li offered her some water. She took a sip, then held the bottle in her hands, drooping her head like a frightened little rabbit.
Feng Li stood there, observing the surroundings. Although the West Mountain was vast, they were in the open while the enemy could be lurking, so caution was essential. Any inconspicuous place could harbor enemies.
"Is that so?" Tang Suiyu suddenly asked.
"Probably not." Feng Li replied.
"Why?"
"He no longer has the opportunity for re-election. It’s already fortunate if he doesn’t seek Ye Family’s protection, let alone causing more trouble!"
"That makes sense..." Tang Suiyu crumpled the drink bottle, "But what if he’s so furious that he insists on..."
Feng Li shot her a cold stare.
"Don’t look at me like that. I was just thinking! Can’t I even say it? This is my husband we’re talking about. I’m more concerned about him than you are!" Tang Suiyu stood up, "Let’s go! Move out!"
She felt that Feng Li had a goal while walking ahead, though she didn’t know what it was.
Ye Gushen’s personal bodyguard, he shouldn’t harm her, right?
——
Finally, they stopped at a cave.
Feng Li set everything up, prepared some firewood, and blocked the cave entrance with a lot of brushwood.
"Madam, rest here for now. I’ll go find him. Once I find him, I’ll bring him here!"
"Can I go with you?" Tang Suiyu asked weakly, clutching her backpack.
"Honestly, Madam, you walk too slowly. It’s inconvenient to take you along, and if we encounter the enemy, I’ll have to protect you while dealing with them. I’m not entirely confident in doing that. It’s safer for you to stay here!"
"You won’t forget to come back for me, right?" Tang Suiyu felt a pang of sadness. Indeed, she was a burden.
She hadn’t slowed him down too much today, right?
Having walked continuously without noticing, she now felt her legs weren’t hers anymore.
"I won’t." Feng Li said seriously, leaving the cave alone and sealing the entrance tightly from the outside.
