After returning from the hunt, Liu Mei held the phone with a charming demeanor, "Young Master Wang, let's meet. This afternoon? Great, great, let's not miss each other at the teahouse by the river."
Behind her, Aunt Zhang stood in the corner and quietly asked Ling Yunhan, "Young Master? Should we tell her that the phone line isn't connected yet?"
Ling Yunhan lazily shook his head, "No rush, let her continue her act for a while longer."
After finishing lunch, Liu Mei stepped out, and Ling Yunhan leisurely followed her.
Liu Mei felt a bit annoyed: What should she do? He shamelessly followed her. If she didn't meet anyone later, he would surely laugh at her.
As they reached an alleyway, Liu Mei suddenly vanished.
Ling Yunhan's heart tightened as he rushed over and saw Liu Mei had already climbed up a wall from a distance.
He sighed and was about to leap up to chase after her when he suddenly heard someone behind him say, "Isn't that the Japanese spy Liu Mei?"
Ling Yunhan halted his steps and turned around to find a few martial arts practitioners nearby.
Another one said, "A notice was posted on the city wall early this morning. The government will be coming to arrest people soon. She wouldn't be trying to escape after hearing the news, would she? We should hurry and stop her."
Ling Yunhan frowned, took a step back, and turned to leave.
Liu Mei wandered around the city and didn't return until it was dark.
As she approached the entrance of the martial arts school, she was taken aback.
Outside the school, a dark crowd stood with torches, illuminating the sky in red.
Upon seeing Liu Mei return, someone immediately shouted, "Catch her! Don't let that Japanese spy escape."
Liu Mei felt a chill in her heart: Could it be that they already knew about her carefully hidden past?
The crowd surrounded her tightly. Mr. Liao wanted to come over, but Liu Mei gently shook her head at him. Mr. Liao could only clench his fists and stop in his tracks.
The children hid behind the door, crying in fear.
Someone said viciously, "Damn it, I heard these orphans were brought here by her from the north. I once respected her, but I never expected she would use them as a cover for her identity as a traitor."
The county magistrate stepped forward: "Please allow me to interrogate her thoroughly to clarify the situation and avoid wronging an innocent person."
Liu Mei let out a cold laugh; it turned out the magistrate was behind this. He had tried to arrange matches for her several times, all of which she had rejected.
Ling Yunhan was nowhere to be found; it seemed they would never meet again. It was truly a pity not to see him one last time.
In the courtyard of Changyu Martial Arts School, the magistrate laughed loudly: "A few days ago, I asked a friend in the capital to investigate your background. Just now, I received a call from there saying that based on my description, you are the one who assassinated General Zhao, a Japanese spy. Men, capture her! If she dares to escape, shoot her on the spot."
Just as Liu Mei was about to take action, suddenly the door was kicked open.
A large group of soldiers rushed in, surrounding the people in the courtyard.
A young man followed behind them, moving leisurely with a smile on his face that made others feel uneasy.
That handsome face clearly belonged to Ling Yunhan.
Liu Mei felt a pang in her nose, wishing she could throw herself into his arms. However, seeing him dressed in a handsome uniform, she stood frozen in place.
Her mind raced as she quickly plotted several escape routes.
But it seemed Ling Yunhan could see through her thoughts; he silently moved to her side and reached out to tightly grip her hand from behind.
The officer following Ling Yunhan shouted loudly, "Boldly, the Young Marshal is here! Who dares to draw a weapon?"
The county chief immediately put on a flattering expression, saying, "The Young Marshal is truly wise and mighty, risking himself to go undercover to uncover spies. I was just about to send the spy to the Marshal's Mansion."
Ling Yunhan coldly replied without even looking at him, "If you dare to touch my woman, how many lives do you think you have? Get out of my way now."
Hearing him say this, Liu Mei momentarily lost her senses, feeling sweet inside and a bit excited.
