Chapter 160 Escape from Danger! Back to the Mansion!
Without time to think, Lin Zhiqing responded softly, "Cousin, are you there?"

"Here!" Upon hearing her voice, Lin Yangyang immediately popped her head out.

She was dressed in black, with bright, almond-shaped eyes, and kept waving at Lin Zhiqing.

Then, Lin Shi'an emerged from behind Lin Yangyang.

He was dressed as a farmer, wearing a straw hat, and his baby face stood out in the darkness.

He was gripping a sickle tightly in his hand, and when he saw Lin Zhiqing, he visibly relaxed.

"Zhiqing, you're out. Are you alright?" Lin Shi'an asked anxiously.

"No." Lin Zhiqing shook her head.

"Why are Prince Jiang and Lu Huai... going around in circles there?" Lin Shi'an asked, puzzled.

Following Lin Shi'an's gaze, Lin Zhiqing then noticed that Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun were circling around in the distance.

"They've lost their minds." Lin Zhiqing didn't have time to say more, so she gave a brief explanation and quickly ran in the opposite direction from the two of them.

Lin Yangyang and Lin Shi'an exchanged a glance, sensing that things weren't going well.

In their eyes, losing one's mind is a very serious problem.

Before they could think about it, Lin Zhiqing whispered something in Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun's ears and patted them on the shoulder.

In an instant, the two stopped spinning.

Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun were already aware of their hypnotized state, and they weren't particularly surprised after realizing they had been hypnotized.

The scene left Lin Yangyang and Lin Shi'an completely stunned.

Just as Lin Shi'an was about to ask further questions, Lin Yangyang grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Lin Shi'an asked, puzzled.

Lin Yangyang frowned, closed her eyes to sense the situation, and confirmed her suspicions: "Someone is coming, a lot of people."

"Qing-meimei, someone's coming!" Lin Yangyang sensed danger approaching and shouted loudly to Lin Zhiqing and the others.

Lin Zhiqing and the other two exchanged glances and instantly understood that Liu Mang's men must have been dispatched!

"Let's go!" Lin Zhiqing made a decision immediately: "I have the evidence. Since Liu Mang's mansion was burglarized, he will definitely search the surrounding area."

"Okay, let's go." Lu Huai and the others nodded and didn't delay any longer.

Lin Shi'an prepared a carriage. Since it was a very important matter, he didn't even bring a driver and took on the role of driver himself.

After everyone quickly got into the car, Lin Zhiqing instructed Lin Shi'an to drive around the city several times to make sure there were no tails following them before slowly driving towards the Lin family home.

The carriage passed by the Lu family's residence midway, and Lu Huai stopped the carriage.

Lin Zhiqing thought he was going back to the mansion, but Lu Huai brought out Lu Nanyue, who was carrying a medicine box.

Everyone except Lin Zhiqing was puzzled. Lu Huai glanced at Jiang Liuyun and said, "Brother Jiang is injured."

Hearing this, Jiang Liuyun was somewhat flattered.

He shook his head: "My little injury is nothing serious."

"No, let Nan Yue take a look," Lin Zhiqing said.

“You will be going to the battlefield in the future. If there are any problems with your arm here, it will be my fault.”

Although Lu Nanyue didn't understand what had happened, she could tell from their attire that they had gone to some dangerous place.

Without hesitation, she opened the medicine box: "Qing'er is right. Prince Jiang is fighting on the battlefield for the sake of Da Sheng's talents. Your arm is very precious."

“That’s right, that’s right. Martial arts practitioners are most afraid of getting injured. Young Master Jiang, don’t be so polite with our Nan Yue.” Lin Yangyang patted Lu Nan Yue’s medicine box casually.

"What do you mean 'we Nanyue'? Lin Yangyang, when did we become that close?" Lu Nanyue teased. "You're Qing's best friend, so her friends are my friends," Lin Yangyang said, patting her chest with great pride.

Lu Nanyue was very observant and noticed that the atmosphere in the car was a bit serious, so she said a few jokes to Lin Yangyang.

Indeed, some smiles appeared on the faces of those present.

Hearing those words of concern, Jiang Liuyun felt a surge of inexplicable emotions.

He didn't refuse again and took the initiative to roll up his sleeves.

"Hiss~" Lu Nanyue frowned as her gaze fell upon Jiang Liuyun's scarred skin. Even though she was used to seeing wounds, she couldn't help but frown.
"How did it get like this? Besides the injuries from tonight, you also have old wounds on your arm."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze shifted to Jiang Liuyun's arm.

The surface was covered with scars, new and old wounds piled together, and some of the wounds were even oozing blood.

Lin Zhiqing narrowed her eyes slightly. Apart from the fresh wounds from fighting with the white-haired man tonight, the bleeding wounds had only just scabbed over, so they must have been inflicted a few days ago.

"It's nothing serious, just a minor injury." Jiang Liuyun tried to pull his arm back, but Lu Huai grabbed it.

Lu Huai frowned: "You were ordered to suppress the remnants of the mountain bandits a few days ago. Could it be that you were injured at that time?"

“That’s right.” Jiang Liuyun nodded.

Lin Yangyang noticed something was wrong: "These are clearly whip marks. Judging from the force, they didn't hit any vital organs. Why would the bandits hold back against you?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes were filled with doubt.

Lin Zhiqing had no knowledge of weapons, but Jiang Liuyun's wounds were indeed not very deep, just as Lin Yangyang had said.

The bandits, of course, wouldn't hold back.

Moreover, Lin Zhiqing knew very well that the matter of the mountain bandits had been settled when the Qianjin Pavilion incident occurred.

The remaining bandits were merely a pretext used by the higher-ups to prevent the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion from helping the Lin family and to divert the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion away.

They are most likely not bandits.

Lin Zhiqing frowned and thought for a moment. At present, apart from the royal family, probably no one in Dasheng would dare to plot against the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion.

Just as she was thinking this, Jiang Liuyun spoke:

“I violated the imperial decree when I returned a few days ago. Although my father vouched for me, I still made a mistake. The Crown Prince only gave me a minor punishment.”

"This minor injury is nothing to me."

Upon hearing this, the carriage fell silent instantly.

No wonder Jiang Liuyun showed up briefly a few days ago and hasn't been seen since; he was punished.

Lin Zhiqing looked at Jiang Liuyun earnestly: "Young Master Jiang, I am deeply grateful. If you ever need anything in the future, as long as it is not something immoral or immoral, my Lin family will do everything in our power."

Lin Yangyang and Lin Shi'an nodded, agreeing with Lin Zhiqing's statement.

"Qing'er, you're being too polite. If you're in trouble, then I'm in trouble too. I won't just stand by and watch." Jiang Liuyun waved his hand.

But this gesture aggravated his wound, and he frowned instantly.

Lu Nanyue quickly took out a small bottle to apply medicine to Jiang Liuyun.

Lin Zhiqing looked at Lu Huai again: "You and Nan Yue have helped me a lot, and what I just said was also to you."

Lin Zhiqing had not forgotten Lu Huai, who had stepped forward to protect her when the white-haired man was about to attack her.

Moreover, Lu Nanyue is currently taking a huge risk by being with them.

The Lu siblings also treated her exceptionally well.
