"Second Uncle, don't panic just yet."
"I heard them shouting that the person they want to catch is Ye Fan."
"It must have been Ye Fan who rescued her, which has nothing to do with our Su Manor."
Su Jin quickly tried to persuade him, but her words only made Su Hong dizzy.
"Ye Fan?"
"That makes it even more related to our Su Manor! The evidence is irrefutable, we can't explain this away, we just can't."
Suddenly thinking of something, he hurried back to Su Li's boudoir and immediately questioned her, "Su Li, let me ask you, was it you who tipped off that Ye Fan?"
"Did you ask Ye Fan to come and rescue your second sister?"
Su Li's dim eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light, and she instantly gained a bit more confidence. "Brother Ye Fan is like a god, why would he need me to send him a message?"
"He must have foreseen it!"
Su Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it wasn't Su Li.
However, he instantly realized something.
Did it matter if their Su Manor knew it wasn't Su Li who tipped him off? The most important thing was to make the Great General believe that it wasn't their Su Manor who leaked the information.
But why would the Great General believe them?!
"It's over, it's really over."
"Now, even if we jumped into the Yellow River, we wouldn't be able to wash ourselves clean."
Su Hong's slightly relaxed mood suddenly tightened again. He scratched his head and cheeks in anxiety, a look that hadn't appeared on him for years.
Yet, during this period, it had appeared time and time again.
He suddenly shouted loudly, "Gather the family guards, servants, and everyone in the Su Manor who can move. Grab your weapons."
"Hurry, hurry."
"Go catch the thief for the Great General!"
"We must catch that brat Ye Fan!"
Su Hong's word was law in the Su Manor. Now that Old Madame Qin was dead, he held all the power. With a single order, the Su Manor moved quickly.
They rapidly formed a team of nearly a hundred people.
There were family guards, maids, and old wet nurses... each holding brooms, wooden sticks, and the like.
Some even wanted to bring kitchen knives, but Su Hong stopped them.
They were doing this to show their loyalty; if they held swords and knives, it wouldn't be easy to explain.
Soon, led by Su Hong, the group rushed out of the Su Manor, shouting "Catch the thief!" and followed the soldiers to search the entire city.
Half an hour later, he heard the soldiers shouting, "He's cornered! He's cornered!" He quickly led his people over and found it was a small alley.
If he remembered correctly, the other end was a dead end.
It seemed that Ye Fan must have been cornered in the dead-end alley. While breathing a sigh of relief, he ordered the family guards to check for any gaps, making up for any loopholes left by the soldiers who were unfamiliar with the terrain.
Once it was quickly set up, he squeezed forward.
He saw many soldiers of Yunji City, dressed as imperial guards in golden armor, gathered at the entrance of the alley behind a general riding a tall horse.
"It's General Sun Xiang!"
Unlike Deputy General Wang Ming, who had dealt with the Su Manor many times, Sun Xiang didn't interact with them much, but Su Hong already knew him. In fact, not only Sun Xiang, but all the guerrilla generals under the Great General—whether they knew him or not, he knew all of them.
"With General Sun Xiang here in person, that poor boy Ye Fan shouldn't be able to escape, right?" Su Hong felt slightly relieved and grew a bit curious.
How did this Ye Fan manage to rescue his second niece?
Not only was Su Hong puzzled, but Sun Xiang was also quite bewildered.
Although there weren't many guards at the foot of the Yunji City wall, it was inside the city and very close to the inner city barracks. No matter how you looked at it, it was a foolproof situation.
Yet this guy named Ye Fan came charging over, shouting his own name.
And then...
He just rescued the person!
"He's not a fierce and valiant general like Zhan Shubai, and he didn't go on a killing spree. How did he rescue her so easily?"
"How is that possible?"
Sun Xiang was dumbfounded.
What baffled him even more was Ye Fan's outfit.
He was carrying a long, box-like container on his back.
The box was obviously prepared in advance. It was just big enough to hold one person, and it even had air holes on all four sides. Looking closely, one could even see bedding inside.
It was inevitably prepared for rescuing someone.
But...
It was a rescue mission!
Shouldn't you first rescue the person and then settle them down later? Carrying such a big box to rescue someone was just bizarre.
Sun Xiang couldn't figure it out.
The only plausible explanation he could think of was that this young man named Ye Fan didn't want any physical contact with Su Xiu.
But...
That was even more absurd, wasn't it?
Shaking his head slightly to clear away these messy thoughts, he swung his long spear and faced Ye Fan, who was forced into the dead end, saying coldly, "Where did you come from, you ignorant fool, daring to snatch someone from Yunji City?"
"Put her down immediately."
As Sun Xiang spoke, he was already gathering his strength, ready to strike Ye Fan at any moment.
The main issue was that Ye Fan was carrying Su Xiu. No matter what, she was the woman who had once been engaged to the Great General. Sun Xiang couldn't just charge in recklessly; it would be bad if he accidentally injured Su Xiu.
"Judging by your appearance..."
Ye Fan finally turned around completely, revealing a handsome and clean-cut face. Despite being surrounded by countless people, there was no trace of fear on his face; instead, it was full of confident pride.
"You must be Ren Tianye, right?"
"This is our first time meeting."
Pausing, he habitually tried to put his left hand behind his back, but because the large box he was carrying blocked his way, his hand couldn't quite reach, leaving it awkwardly suspended in mid-air.
But no matter how comical his posture was, the confidence and strength in his expression didn't change in the slightest. He even had a smile on his face.
He said calmly, "Even though you are the Great General, I am not afraid of you."
"Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side!"
"Do not bully the young for being poor!"
"Right now, I am indeed inferior to you, but in the future, that might not be the case!"
"Given time..."
Ye Fan's gaze suddenly turned sharp and piercing, as if he had the momentum of a tiger swallowing the world.
Seeing this, Sun Xiang's heart tightened. He felt that this person was extraordinary. Having followed the Great General for some time and being influenced by him, Sun Xiang had become more perceptive and immediately guessed what Ye Fan was going to say next.
He would inevitably say that given time, after he had grown stronger, he would come back to seek revenge on the Great General and make them all pay a heavy price.
A thought instantly popped into his mind.
"This boy absolutely cannot be left alive!"
Then, he heard Ye Fan continue, "Given time, I, Ye Fan, will make sure that the love between men and women in this world will no longer be divided by social status, no longer distinguished by wealth or poverty, and no longer subject to coercion."
"The one I, Ye Fan, love, and the one who loves me, Ye Fan."
"We will definitely be together!"
"I, Ye Fan, always do what I say!"
Sun Xiang: "???"
Wait, bro, why is what you're saying different from what I was thinking?
Whatever, let's attack first.
There was something very wrong about this situation.
The long spear in his hand thrust forward abruptly. Driven by the charging horse, the strike carried the force of a thunderbolt. Just as it was about to pierce Ye Fan, Ye Fan spun around and dodged it effortlessly.
Immediately after, despite carrying a large box on his back which should have made his movements sluggish and inconvenient, he executed a swift maneuver, kicking off the wall and leaping out of the dead-end alley backwards.
"I make a three-year pact with you."
"We will meet again in three years!"
The voice echoing from afar sounded more like a provocation.
Sun Xiang immediately bellowed, "Search the area! We absolutely cannot let that boy get away!"
The soldiers responded with a thunderous shout and immediately dispersed.
Taking advantage of the moment, Su Hong stepped forward. With a respectful demeanor, he offered, "General Sun Xiang, our Su family has been rooted in Yunji City for over a century, and no one knows the local terrain better than we do. I have brought along some of our retainers; please allow us to assist you in the search!"
