Feng Wu and Li followed Zilan through the woods.
“Come here.” Zilan waved at Li.
Despite her fear, Li still forced herself to walk toward Zilan. Zilan glanced at Li and smirked. “You have the plague. Die!” As soon as she said those words, Zilan struck Li’s head with a knife.
“Ahhh!”
Li’s stomach lurched.
Just then, there was a whooshing sound.
A dagger cut Zilan’s throat.
Zilan turned around and looked at the people behind her.
Feng Wu stood behind her with an indifferent look on her face and a calm look in her eyes. She was holding a dagger, and blood was trickling down the blade.
“You…” Zilan was dumbfounded.
She was supposed to be the one in control and could decide who lived or died, but now…
Feng Wu watched as Zilan fell.
“Little Feng…” Frightened, Li grabbed Feng Wu’s hand and burst into tears. She was too scared to speak.
Had it not been for Feng Wu, she would have been dead by now.
Feng Wu patted the back of her hand.
“I need to take care of this. Otherwise…” Feng Wu recalled that there were still a lot of people in the Gao family.
Things would have been much easier if she was all by herself. She could run as fast as she wanted into the woods, but what about the Gao family?
They weren’t just names, but flesh and blood. They had been eating, living, and getting along well with each other… Feng Wu couldn’t just stand there and watch them get killed.
She told Li, “Go back to your family now and set out immediately. You have to reach the border city at noon tomorrow. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get in.” “But, but…” Li was at a loss.
Feng Wu said calmly, “If you panic now, so many people in the Gao family will lose their heads. Are you sure you still want to panic?”
Li had been panic-stricken at first, but hearing Feng Wu’s words, she immediately calmed down as if someone had poured cold water on her head.
She knew that Feng was the most capable member of the team, so she listened to the girl.
Feng Wu said, “You don’t have to worry about anything here. Go back to your team and tell them to set out now. As for me… tell them that they’ve taken me away.”
Li said, “But…
Feng Wu said, “No buts. If you tell the Gao family about what really happened, do you think they’ll be able to handle it and keep it a secret? You heard it yourself. They’re Princess Rao’s people.”
Li shook her head anxiously. Her family couldn’t take it, and they would have a nervous breakdown.
Feng Wu nodded. “So, you don’t have to tell them what happened here. Just tell them that the three people have taken me away. As for what happened here… you don’t have to worry about it. And you…”
Feng Wu smeared something on Li’s face. “The ointment will fester your face for a while, but it’ll recover in time. Don’t worry. It’s to keep you alive.” Li was concerned. “What about you? Are you going to turn yourself in?”
Feng Wu chuckled. “Why would I do that? Don’t worry. I have my own plan.
Don’t you know what I’m capable of?”
After much persuasion, Feng Wu finally persuaded Li to leave..
