C201 On His Way Home
The next morning, Wu Sheng decided to talk to Hua Jingsheng about Yin Lan. He went to Hua Jingsheng's door and knocked on it before he realized what was going on. Was he too early? To his surprise, the person inside quickly responded, "Come in."
He pushed the door open and entered. Hua Jingsheng was walking in from the balcony outside. His clothes were still the same black gold button shirt from yesterday. It seemed like he had not slept for the whole night. Although he still looked high-spirited, his bloodshot eyes revealed his fatigue.
"Master Jing, did you not sleep last night?" He asked tentatively.
"It's so early. Do you have anything to tell me?" Hua Jingsheng did not answer his question. He felt uneasy last night, as if something he did not know was happening, so he did not sleep.
Wu Sheng saw Hua Jingsheng's intention of coming to him, and his heart tightened. He then answered, "Yes, I have something to tell you, Master Jing."
Hua Jingsheng saw that Wu Sheng was talking and hesitating today. He could not help but look at him again. "Tell me."
Wu Sheng did not dare to look at him again. He lowered his head and said, "Master Jing, I went to see Ning Ou last night."
Hua Jingsheng's expression changed slightly when he heard this. "Why did you look for him?"
"I want to find out more about Yin from him." Wu Sheng answered truthfully. At the same time, his heart tightened. He was afraid that Hua Jingsheng would ask him why he was looking for Ning Ou.
However, Hua Jingsheng was only silent for a moment. He continued, "Did you find out?"
Wu Sheng was surprised that Hua Jingsheng did not ask. He cared about the result directly, but did not show much. "No. Ning Ou did not see him after the Cheetah Family gathering. But he reminded me to keep an eye on Vince. It seems that Vince has disappeared during this period of time."
"Did he say that?" Hua Jingsheng put his finger on his chin. He was thinking whether Ning Ou's words were trustworthy or not.
Wu Sheng saw that Hua Jingsheng was hesitating and did not interrupt. He quietly waited for his opinion.
"Do you think Ning Ou's words can be trusted?" Hua Jingsheng still felt that it was not trustworthy. "We used Lan to do a lot of things about him. What if this is just a bluff and wants to break the delicate balance between us and Moore?"
When Wu Sheng heard Hua Jingsheng's concerns, he also thought for a moment. The day before yesterday, Moore came to them to seek an alliance. Now that Ning Ou suddenly said this, it was indeed suspicious. But did he really want to lie to him? Could it be that he really wasn't worried about Yin's safety?
He wasn't sure about this either.
"If Master Jing has any concerns, we can observe Moore first. Even if he sees through us, we have something to say. What do you think? "
Hua Jingsheng heard Wu Sheng's words and thought for a while. Then, he nodded and said, "You can do it. If there is news of Lan earlier, it will be good."
"Yes." Wu Sheng was about to leave when Hua Jingsheng stopped him.
"Sheng," Hua Jingsheng said.
"Master Jing, what else do you need?" Wu Sheng turned around and stood still.
Hua Jingsheng paused for a while before he said, "Why do I feel like I can't see through Lan?"
Wu Sheng lifted his eyes slightly and looked at Hua Jingsheng's angular face and those dark blue eyes that hid the strangeness. The killing intent in them had faded and was filled with doubt and worry.
"Master Jing, give her more time. After all, too many things have happened in Nanxing. These things are closely related to her. Even those who have experienced hundreds of battles will have a chance to doubt themselves."
Hua Jingsheng was not a sentimental person. It was just that Yin Lan's actions this time were too strange. He could not figure it out. That was why he could not sleep and could not let go of his heartstrings. Now that he heard Wu Sheng's analysis, he also felt that it was like this. He did not ask anymore and let him out.
However, he could only wait until Yin Lan came back to know what was going on.
He hoped that she would not disappoint him.
Leaning against the green mountain, Yin Lan and Vince, who were facing the colorful pond, woke up with the sunlight. Although the two of them had a little struggle in the middle of the night, they had a good rest after that. After they woke up, their complexion was still normal. After breakfast, the two of them packed up their tents, carried their luggage, and prepared to return home.
When they passed by the church, the two of them went in to pray once more before bringing them back.
The previous downhill road had become their biggest problem. Just as they grabbed the tree trunk and supported each other as they walked up the hill, panting, Vince's phone rang at the wrong time. He held onto the tree trunk with one hand and Yin Lan with the other. There was really no spare hand to pick up the phone.
But the phone was very persistent and kept ringing. Yin Lan was worried that because she let him miss something important, she climbed halfway and hugged a slightly smaller tree. She said to him, "Pick up the phone and let us rest while we are at it."
Vince saw that she held the tree firmly before he took his hand back. When he took out the phone, he saw that it was Moore's. He gently frowned and picked it up. "What is it?"
"Where are you guys? Why is there no one here?" Moore sounded very anxious.
"We were camping outside last night. We are on our way back." Vince did not expect Moore to come to find him. He restrained his temper and explained.
"It was just camping!" Only then did Moore feel relieved. "I just came to see you. I also told you not to go out these few days. I have already sent a few people to protect you. But don't worry. They are just in the dark. They won't show themselves unless you are in danger."
Vince wanted to ask more questions when he heard Moore's words, but he saw Yin Lan was still there. She didn't want her to know more about what was happening outside, so he held it in. "Okay, I know."
"Remember, don't show yourself these few days. They won't be able to find you here." Moore was worried.
"Okay, I got it."
After putting away the phone, he reached out to Yin Lan again, "Come! Grab my hand. Come over."
Yin Lan hugged the tree and was a little dissatisfied, "I'm not that weak. Don't always worry about me!"
Although her body was slowly not well, it was also slowly but not for an instant. Vince always took care of her like this, making her feel extremely weak.
Vince saw Yin Lan hugging the tree with an annoyed look. She was very cute. He could not help laughing. Those purple eyes seemed to melt water, so gentle that it wrapped around Yin Lan tightly.
"Okay. I'll walk in front then. You follow slowly. We have no strength left. We will rest."
Yin Lan listened to Vince's tireless exhortation. She could not help but think of them who had been at odds with each other before. It was not an exaggeration to describe the changes that happened in such a short period of time. Suddenly, she thought of her and Ning Ou in the beginning. They were so incompatible with each other. If they could be like Vince back then who knew how to back down, would the result be different?
Unfortunately, they had all missed the moment when the other party wanted to explore the path with sincerity the most.
Since Vince had promised to live a day longer than Yin Lan last night, he had promised to live a day longer than Yin Lan. Today, he was very careful with his body. When he was not strong enough, he would take the initiative to bring up the news. Yin Lan would always take out some water from her backpack and let him drink it at the right time. The two of them could be considered to have formed a tacit understanding.
Yesterday, they walked for two hours and today, they were forcefully walked for half a day by the two of them. It was not until noon did the two of them return from the outside in exhaustion. When they walked to the door of the wooden house, Vince took out the key to open the door. Yin Lan asked him to put down his backpack and rolled in later. However, just as Vince took the key to open the door, Yin Lan suddenly felt that there was a glimpse behind her. When she looked back, she did not find anything unusual.
But her intuition did not lie to her, so she kept looking over there. Her soft and gentle brows instantly twisted into a murderous look.
"What's wrong?" Vince opened the door and saw Yin Lan staring at the woods behind them. Her face was filled with killing intent, so he could not help but ask.
"I feel there is someone over there." Yin Lan did not hide it from him.
"That is the person Uncle sent to protect us. You do not need to care." Vince did not expect Yin Lan to be so sensitive and could only answer truthfully.
"Protect us?" Yin Lan was surprised. They were already here, so what kind of danger would there be?
"He is only worried that something will happen to us. Those people are just protecting us in the dark. If we are not in danger, they will not show themselves. Don't worry." Vince comforted her. He reached out and took off her backpack. At the same time, he kicked the big bag on his back into the house.
Yin Lan did not care about what Vince said. In the entire family, only Moore was good to Vince, so she understood that Vince would not ignore his good intentions.
After Yin Lan and Vince entered the house, Ling, who was hiding in the forest, finally found himself. He followed Moore all the way here. When he heard that Moore and Vince called, he left. He did not leave. He wanted to stay and see if there were any other discoveries, but he did not expect to see Yin Lan again. Although her appearance was still the same, he could clearly feel that Yin Lan had become thinner. Moreover, the world outside was so competitive. Whether it was Hua Jingsheng or Ning Ou, they were both in deep water. She and Vince were hiding here alone. Why?
Could it be that she was really poisoned?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry. Although Hua Jingsheng had harmed them, Yin Lan did not. Instead, they had hurt her. Therefore, he was worried that Yin Lan would really die. He was even more worried that the young master would blame him if he knew about this.
Sensing that there were sounds floating around, he did not stop and immediately left along the path he came from.
Yin Lan stood at the kitchen window, but her gaze still did not give up as she stared outside. That gaze from before did not seem to be monitoring but more like probing. If the person who came today was not Moore's person, then Vince and her would be exposed. But she could not tell Vince directly, because she herself was not very sure, but she still had to do protection work.
"How about we eat spaghetti today?" After cleaning up the camping things, Vince took a shower and wore light colored household clothes. He ran to the kitchen to see Yin Lan.
Yin Lan had not washed the cup in her hand yet. Seeing Vince walk in, she smiled gently, "Okay, I will help you."0
Her hands had almost recovered and could completely share some of the labor.
"Okay." Vince did not refuse. He started to rummage through the cabinets for materials.
