Chapter 348 Response
When the matter was brought up, Lin Yangyang calmed down a bit.

That's right, they have achieved their goal.

We are currently in the final stages, and everything we are doing now is simply to extricate ourselves from the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion.

Once they are freed, they can dedicate themselves to the retrial of Lin Congrong's case.

The process of escaping is simply a matter of whether it's smooth or complicated.

Seeing that Lin Yangyang had come to some understanding, Lin Zhiqing continued:

"The Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion won't kill me. First, they want to use me to play the role of a good person."

"Secondly, if I die, and die in the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion, the filth on their bodies will never be washed away."

"Third, and most importantly, they now believe that Zheng Kuo, the only witness, is no longer a threat, so they are not as wary of me or the Lin family as they used to be."

"For them, keeping me alive is more beneficial than killing me, so you can rest assured."

After hearing all this, Lin Yangyang's thoughts became much clearer.

She knew Lin Zhiqing was right, so she nodded and said, "Qing-meimei, I understand."

"Don't worry, I won't ruin your plans."

Lin Zhiqing nodded, confirming this point:
"Don't worry, what I just described were the worst-case scenarios. What if we both manage to escape together?"

"The Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion has many experts, Qing-mei, no matter what happens, you must be careful," Lin Yangyang instructed.

Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Remember, no matter who goes out first, we have to go to the back gate of the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence."

“There are people I arranged to meet you there.”

"The person who was supposed to meet you?" Lin Yangyang was taken aback.

Clearly, Lin Zhiqing hadn't mentioned this to her before, and she was slightly puzzled:
"Who is the person who is providing backup?"

"You'll find out when you go out," Lin Zhiqing said, not revealing everything.

She now habitually leaves herself a way out.

The person who was supposed to meet him... Thinking of that person, Lin Zhiqing subconsciously wanted to touch Wang Shujian.

But her hand touched nothing.

When she learned that Jiang Yunhe had Lin Yangyang kidnap her, she hid Wang Shujian.

That thing was practically Lin Zhiqing's trump card, so of course he couldn't bring it along.

With their thoughts settled, Lin Zhiqing briefly explained some precautions to Lin Yangyang, and then the two quietly waited for night to fall.

Time can fly by, or it can drag on.

After Lin Zhiqing silently counted a few numbers in her mind, the area outside the laundry room fell completely silent.

Lin Zhiqing pressed her ear against the wall again and found that the faint footsteps she could usually hear had disappeared.

This means that the people outside have left, and it is very likely that it is already evening.

She walked slowly to the oil lamp, nodded to Lin Yangyang, and then blew it out without hesitation.

The darkness made it easier for them to act.

Then, Lin Yangyang took Lin Zhiqing's hand and they moved together to the entrance and exit of the Jiang family.

Lin Yangyang held a chain in her hand, while Lin Zhiqing had taken a table leg off and was holding it in her hand.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, stared intently at the doorway.

Lin Zhiqing was certain that someone would come because they had made some noise during the day.

Those outside might not know the specifics, but Jiang Liuyun and Jiang Yunhe certainly knew that the sounds coming from outside could be heard from inside the secret room.

They will come to check on Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang's condition.

Even if they don't come, someone will bring them food, which will make it even easier for them to carry out their tasks.

"Tap!" Just as Lin Zhiqing was pondering, a series of extremely light footsteps sounded.

Lin Yangyang gripped the chains tightly and looked at Lin Zhiqing with a questioning gaze: "Have they arrived?"
Lin Zhiqing frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said softly:
"I am not sure."

After observing for several days, Lin Zhiqing realized that if Jiang Liuyun or Jiang Yunhe were coming, their footsteps wouldn't be so quiet.

Moreover, both of them had wide, sweeping strides, and because they had practiced martial arts for many years, they had a very stable stance, making their footsteps heavier than others.

Lin Yangyang's footsteps should have sounded the same.

However, perhaps because Lin Yangyang often sneaks out to play and doesn't want to be discovered by Lin Congli, she deliberately keeps her footsteps very light.

The footsteps outside now seemed to be deliberately lowered, as if the person didn't want to be discovered, yet their pace was slow.

Thinking of these things, Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly.

Who else could it be but the Jiang family father and son?
Lu Huai's footsteps weren't like that either.

Aside from these people, she couldn't think of anyone else who might come.

Could it really be the person who brings them food and water?

That's unlikely, since Jiang Liuyun always brought the food and water.

Jiang Yunhe and Jiang Liuyun did not want them to come into contact with outsiders.

But never mind.

Lin Zhiqing gripped the stool leg tightly. No matter who came, she was determined to get out today.

They met Lin Yangyang's gaze, both with resolute expressions, and raised their weapons high.

It was impossible for Lin Zhiqing not to feel nervous as she listened to the footsteps that stopped at the door, but she managed to remain calm.

The person outside was unfamiliar with the place and fumbled around for a long time, seemingly searching for a way to open the door.

Lin Zhiqing found it strange. Could it be that Lin Shi'an had secretly come to rescue them?

But Lin Shi'an's footsteps didn't sound like that.

Who exactly is this person?!

Just as this question occupied Lin Zhiqing's mind, there was a "creak," and it seemed that the person outside had touched some mechanism, and the door seemed to have loosened a little.

Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang exchanged a glance and became extremely alert.

Soon, the stone gate swayed and slowly moved to the right.

Lin Zhiqing pressed her body tightly against the wall, silently chanting in her heart.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

A foot wearing a men's boot stepped in, and Lin Zhiqing gritted her teeth and slammed the table leg down hard.

At the same moment, the iron chain in Lin Yangyang's hand was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, heading straight for the person's face!

The instant they made their move, a very familiar voice rang out from the newcomers:
"Miss Zhiqing, Miss Lin, are you there? I'm here to save you!"

Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang's pupils both contracted; they both recognized that the person who had arrived was clearly Yun Feng!

Putting aside the table legs, Lin Yangyang used all her strength in the chains. If the chains were to fall on Yun Feng, he would be disfigured, or even killed.

Lin Yangyang gritted her teeth and pulled the chain backward, causing it to fall straight down.

Due to inertia, the end of the chain landed on Lin Yangyang's arm, and she groaned, clearly in great pain.

However, the chains were put back in place, but Lin Zhiqing, who had no martial arts skills, couldn't retract the table leg in time.

With a loud bang, the table leg struck Yun Feng!
