Chapter 347 The Best Solution
Lin Zhiqing knows Lu Huai all too well.

It is precisely because of this understanding that the bittersweet emotions are all the more pronounced at this moment.

Putting aside whether Lu Huai could hear the noise Lin Yangyang made when she broke through the wall, the very structure of the house was enough to raise suspicion.

Although she didn't know if Lu Huai was aware of her and Lin Yangyang's disappearance, for some reason, she had a premonition that Lu Huai should know.

Nowadays, it's impossible to say that I don't have emotional ups and downs.

Lu Huai doesn't understand psychology, but he has strong thinking and observation skills. Coupled with his powerful numerology skills, it would be impossible for him not to have noticed some clues here.

So, whether Lu Huai outside was genuinely unaware or aware but chose not to intervene, Lin Zhiqing didn't want to ponder which was the case.

She took Lin Yangyang's hand and saw the bloodstains on it, her eyes involuntarily stinging.

She gently blew on Lin Yangyang's hand, then poured some water to wash it for her.

Lin Yangyang noticed that Lin Zhiqing's eyes were a little red and felt anxious.
"Qing, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. I'll eat a couple more chicken legs and I'll be alright. Don't be sad."

"Quickly, go listen to what's going on outside again. I can handle it myself."

Lin Yangyang took the water and started rinsing herself.

Lin Zhiqing did not force him. He went to the hollow wall again, took a deep breath, and pressed his ear against it once more.

Lu Huai's footsteps were still very clear.

He seemed to be circling around the outside, never taking another step closer to the hollow wall.

Soon, the footsteps grew lighter and farther away, as if they were about to disappear.

Lin Zhiqing's hands tightened, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Yes, Lu Huai is leaving.

What stands between them is more than just this one wall.
As Lin Zhiqing left the wall, Lu Huai in the outer room seemed to sense something the moment she turned around.

Just as he was about to step out of the room, he turned back and glanced at the hollow wall from afar.

Jiang Liuyun, who was standing to the side, narrowed his eyes. He thought that Lu Huai had figured something out and was about to speak to test him when he saw Lu Huai step out of the room very decisively.

He walked without stopping towards the door.

Jiang Liuyun lagged behind, also turning back to glance at the hollow wall before stepping outside.

Lin Zhiqing was unaware of what had happened between the two.

At this moment, she was staring blankly at the hollow wall.

She didn't come to her senses until Lin Yangyang patted her on the shoulder.

Lin Yangyang had already treated her wound casually, and she waved to Lin Zhiqing:
"Qing-meimei, look, I'm really alright."

"Besides, we're going out now, but there's always a way, so don't worry."

Lin Zhiqing smiled gently as she watched Lin Yangyang comfort her, casting aside all the unpleasant emotions she had just felt.

Previously, she was always the one comforting and advising Lin Yangyang, but now it's the other way around.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, there must be a way."

After breaking free from those negative emotions, Lin Zhiqing began to think about what their next step should be.

Lin Yangyang looked around at the walls. She tried to touch them, but found that the walls were quite hard, and it would be difficult for her to force her way through.

Lin Zhiqing was well aware of this.

Now, aside from Lin Shi'an, it seems that their only chance is to leave one other option.

Thinking of all this, Lin Zhiqing asked Lin Yangyang:

"Cousin, you've fought Jiang Yunhe before. If you were to face him again, how confident would you be?"

Knowing the gravity of the matter, Lin Yangyang didn't try to be silly. Instead, she thought about it seriously for a moment before holding up five fingers:

"If I give it my all, I have a 50% chance of winning." This is not an conservative estimate.

Lin Zhiqing nodded: "After Lu Huai leaves, Jiang Yunhe or Jiang Liuyun will most likely come to check on our situation."

"Since we can't get out of the completely enclosed space, our target is the door they use to enter and exit."

Lin Yangyang understood Lin Zhiqing's meaning, and she nodded emphatically:
"Qing-meimei, are you planning to catch them off guard while they're checking on us, and then escape?"

"Not bad." Lin Zhiqing nodded.

"In that situation, there are likely to be three possible outcomes."

"First, our sneak attack failed."

If that's the case, the two of them will need to find a solution.

"Secondly, you are skilled and will be the first to escape."

If this is the case, Lin Yangyang going out to get reinforcements is undoubtedly the best solution.

"Third, you hold them off while I escape."

Lin Zhiqing was the main target of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion in this matter.

If she escapes, leaving only Lin Yangyang, Lin Zhiqing has a way to rescue her.

Of course, it's not impossible for the two of them to escape together, but the possibility is so small that it can be ignored.

Lin Zhiqing doesn't know martial arts. Although he has learned a few tricks to strengthen his body from Lin Yangyang these days, they are clearly not enough to deal with the experts outside.

After analyzing the various scenarios, Lin Zhiqing patted Lin Yangyang's hand:

"Cousin, if you go out, our chances of winning will be the greatest."

Lin Yangyang abruptly pulled her hand away, her expression serious.

“Qing, we have different roles, and if we’re talking about intelligence, I’m not as smart as you.”

"If you escape, it will be more advantageous for us."

"I will do everything in my power to get you out of here. I believe you will come back to save me."

It was impossible for Lin Zhiqing not to be moved by these words.

She grabbed Lin Yangyang's hand: "Cousin, don't worry, I've already calculated it in my mind. The best solution is for you to escape on your own first."

Lin Yangyang suddenly became excited:

"And what about you? If you were here alone, who knows how dangerous it would be for you!"

"Jiang Yunhe harbors such great hostility towards Second Uncle, he must not like you either."

Even if Jiang Liuyun likes you, he can't go against Jiang Yunhe. I can't leave you to take risks alone.

"Cousin, I won't take any risks. I still want to live a good life in this world," Lin Zhiqing said solemnly.
“After you leave, I will try to get Jiang Liuyun’s attention and help. He likes me, so he will definitely do something.”

“Even if I can’t escape Jiang Yunhe’s control, I can still seize the opportunity and turn the tide.”

"I'm confident in this, you have to believe me." Lin Zhiqing patted his chest, mimicking Lin Yangyang's manner.

Lin Yangyang pursed her lips, her expression somewhat forlorn: "Qing-meimei, do we really have to go that far?"

"Let's play it safe and wait for Shi'an. I trust him!"

“I believe in him too, but cousin, we can’t put all our hopes on one person.” Lin Zhiqing looked into the distance.

"Moreover, it's all worth it for us to do all this now."

"Have you forgotten? My father's case is about to be retried."

"This is hope."
