I insist

Chapter 46: Tracking

Yu Huailin hadn't expected the woman to answer so readily.

He was quite certain that the woman had just softened her heart.

But why did you suddenly change your mind?

Sure enough, this woman has always been enigmatic. But the more enigmatic she is, the more people are drawn to her secrets.

But he won't take the initiative. Isn't it more interesting to uncover secrets little by little?

"Oh? So determined? Are you sure you won't change your mind? After all, these people really do look quite pitiful."

This time, Yu Huailin's face clearly showed a teasing expression.

However, only Song Miqiu saw his expression; Qiu Tianlei, who had his back to them, didn't notice it at all, otherwise he probably would have already caused an uproar.

Fortunately, Yu Huailin's appearance immediately brought Song Miqiu back to her senses.

“I said I wouldn’t, and I definitely won’t. There’s always a reason why someone is pitiful. I’m clear-headed. Besides, so many of us need to eat.”

Song Miqiu's words were simple yet irrefutable.

Yu Huailin smiled and said, "You're right. There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. If Qiu Tianlei had fallen down there today, these people would never have let us go."

Yu Huailin was afraid that this woman would make a mistake at a crucial moment, but fortunately, she did not disappoint him.

Such a rational person is also a good fit as a partner.

Although Song Miqiu didn't know what Yu Huailin was thinking, she understood that Yu Huailin wouldn't say these things to her for no reason.

But today's events made her realize a very serious problem.

"I and this era...have not yet fully accepted each other."

If her mind continues to dwell on the past, she might find herself in countless dangers once she leaves the people around her.

Song Miqiu understood that her ideas were not suitable for her current situation.

The people here cannot fight against the officials, nor can they win against them.

What's more, they are just ordinary people with nothing to lose, and they are dragging along a wanted criminal who is like a ticking time bomb.

They cannot afford to be soft-hearted or make any mistakes, otherwise, who knows what awaits them.

Yu Huailin looked at the woman in front of him and suddenly fell into deep thought. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, he knew that she wouldn't make a mistake.

"Mother! What should we do with these people?"

Qiu Tianlei was also tired of fighting. He looked at the pretty boy who was still surrounding his mother and talking to her. He was furious when he thought about how the pretty boy had been hiding behind his mother like a good-for-nothing while he was fighting.

"Did I buy you to enjoy life? Why didn't you make a move just now?!"

Seeing that Qiu Tianlei was about to fight Yu Huailin, Song Miqiu felt a headache coming on.

Sure enough, the things she had just been thinking about were a bit too far ahead; the most important thing right now was to take care of things at home.

"Qiu Tianlei, teach these people a lesson, so they'll know better than to come after us again."

Song Miqiu was already exhausted and didn't want to waste any more time with these people.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tianlei got excited and, disregarding whether Yu Huailin was slacking off, started punching and kicking those who had just attacked him the hardest.

This time, Yu Huailin watched more intently than anyone else.

Qiu Tianlei only stopped when he was so tired that he couldn't lift his legs anymore.

Song Miqiu walked over at the opportune moment, his expression colder than ever before.

"You'd better not let us see you again. You can mess with whoever you want, just don't come near us again. Otherwise, we won't let you leave so easily next time!"

She let them go this time because of a moment of pity in her heart, but she would never do that again after this!

Hearing this, these people left with deep gratitude, despite their physical pain.

Song Miqiu felt extremely tired and let out a sigh of relief. She didn't know if it was because she had been tense all the time, or because she had finally realized the difference between herself and the world. She suddenly relaxed and almost fell over.

Fortunately, the person behind her reacted quickly and helped her up.

Thank you.

She tried to keep her distance from Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin didn't mind, and the group continued on their way, but Yu Huailin walked at the very back, taking his time.

Naturally, the people walking in front did not notice that Yu Huailin casually waved his hand behind his back a few times, and that his gaze was fixed on the group of refugees who had just left.

The leaves behind me seemed to be rustling in the wind, but strangely, only the leaves of that one tree were moving.

That night, Song Miqiu and his companions could not find a place to stay, so they had no choice but to find a cave in the mountains.

"Let's make do for the night. Let's get some extra things for the children to be covered up. Yumei, come with me to cook a pot of soup."

Their current conditions are limited, but fortunately they have food, so they won't go hungry.

Qiu Tianlei went out to collect firewood on his own initiative, while Yu Huailin sat down to the side without a care in the world.

Fortunately, everyone got used to it, each doing their own thing, and no one paid him any attention.

A pot of rich soup warmed everyone up, and drowsiness immediately washed over them.

"You've all been traveling all day, so get some rest."

After Song Miqiu spoke, everyone quickly washed up and went to rest.

Even Yu Huailin was unusually quiet.

Unbeknownst to them, the bodyguards who had been following Yu Huailin had already arrived at another location with the departing "refugees".

"Isn't Master being too cautious? Are these people really problematic? Aren't they just ordinary refugees?"

When their master told them to follow these people, they were a little confused. After they left, they even complained that their master had been spending too much time with these people lately, which made him suspicious.

But as they followed along, they finally realized that it wasn't that their master was overthinking things, but rather that they hadn't observed carefully enough.

"Look? That person's figure!"

They had naturally watched when these people fought with Qiu Tianlei, but they saw it clearly at the time: these people were just ordinary folks using the same moves, nothing more than random, chaotic slapping.

But just now, when that person almost stepped into the pit in front of him, he dodged it very easily!

If they were just ordinary people, how could they have such abilities?

This time, they finally started to take it seriously!

When Yu Huailin received the message from the secret guard, it was already very late, and Qiu Tianlei's snoring could already echo throughout the cave.

But everyone was fast asleep, so no one was disturbed.

Until a faint, strange sound rang out, Yu Huailin, who should have been fast asleep, opened his eyes.

"Master, come quickly!"
