But it’s better to be cautious.
At that ti, the two of them had already slowly vanished into the air, then ran off in two directions.
Both carried weapons, and spirit talismans drawn on paper. Unless they encountered soone particularly skilled from the Mystic Sect, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Moreover, since the goal was just to distract them, there was no need for direct confrontation, so being invisible was the best state.
At this mont, the two were already far from the cave.
It seems she had sowhat underestimated their speed.
Their speed was faster than hers; they must have been accommodating her pace earlier.
In that case, she felt more at ease.
She checked the barrier at the cave entrance once more, then swiftly entered the cave, where Liang Yan was surprisingly sitting on the ground with a pained expression.
Her hand was on her ankle. Gu Qiaoqiao looked closely and was startled; she hadn’t expected Sister Yan’s ankle to be so swollen.
How did she manage to run so fast earlier?
And she didn’t even cry out in pain, which made Gu Qiaoqiao admire her deeply.
She was seeing such a resilient woman for the first ti.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly walked to her side, squatted down, and without saying anything, directly moved Liang Yan’s hand away from her ankle.
Then Gu Qiaoqiao placed her hand on Liang Yan’s ankle, and strands of spiritual energy flowed from Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingertips towards the swollen area.
Under her calm mind’s direction, she secretly repaired the twisted tendons.
To avoid arousing Liang Yan’s suspicion, Gu Qiaoqiao gently massaged the area, as if she were giving a massage.
anwhile, sweat was already forming on Liang Yan’s forehead.
It wasn’t just a sprain; so joints seed to be dislocated.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Liang Yan while her hands continued working, and asked, "Sister Yan, who are you really? Why do you want to deliver this letter to Director Li of the Public Security Bureau? How should I explain it to him? You’d better deliver it yourself."
While speaking, her hand suddenly moved, twisting sharply to the left, and there was a crisp sound as Liang Yan cried out in pain. Then, astonished, she widened her eyes and moved the previously aching ankle, "Qiaoqiao, you’re amazing!"
"You’re amazing too; you almost fractured your bone, yet you managed to run such a long distance."
Gu Qiaoqiao spoke while placing the envelope back into Liang Yan’s hand, not expecting Liang Yan to refuse it, her eyes filled with deliberation, and then, seemingly deciding sothing in an instant.
She pushed the envelope into Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, speaking softly, "Qiaoqiao, I need to trouble you with this task."
Gu Qiaoqiao took the envelope without saying anything, and Liang Yan continued, "Qiaoqiao, because of you, my plan has to change sowhat."
"Sister Yan, can you tell , why are you here?" asked Gu Qiaoqiao seriously.
Liang Yan looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, her eyes filled with determination, and directly said, "Qiaoqiao, to be honest, I’m a detective with the police central bureau, undercover in a drug trafficking organization. The docunts in this envelope are very important; you must deliver them to Director Li personally."
Gu Qiaoqiao was shocked and wide-eyed.
She truly hadn’t expected Liang Yan to be an undercover detective.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart suddenly swelled with indescribable emotions, watching the battered yet resolute Liang Yan, her throat choked up, she grabbed Liang Yan’s hand, "Sister Yan, I’ll take you out, don’t worry. Please trust ."
Liang Yan shook her head, "Qiaoqiao, I can’t leave with you. I need to return to that place..."
"Haven’t you already co out? Haven’t you obtained the information? Why do you need to go back?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked urgently,
"The docunts in this envelope are incomplete. I have no choice and lack ti, so I could only extract this part. But now, I’ve changed my mind. I need to return to find their drug research base."
"Sister Yan, isn’t that very dangerous?"
"I know it’s dangerous, but it’s my mission, and I must do it," Liang Yan replied indifferently.
She seed to think she wasn’t that remarkable.
"But, Sister Yan, if sothing happens to you, what will you do?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked worriedly.
"Qiaoqiao, because of this plan, three of our comrades have already sacrificed themselves. I can’t let their deaths be in vain or let this mission have any regrets."
"Then pretend you never t , okay? Just act like you didn’t see, and carry out your original plan," Gu Qiaoqiao pleaded, tears threatening to fall.
Clearly, if Liang Yan returned, it would be extrely perilous. Her mind couldn’t bear to imagine how terrifying it must be in that den of wolves.
"No, Qiaoqiao, you’ve misunderstood. After delivering the intelligence, I still have to return, just not under the current circumstances," explained Liang Yan calmly.
"But haven’t they identified you? Returning like this is suicide!"
"No, they don’t know who I am yet. Until they truly catch , they won’t suspect . After all, on the surface, I am still part of the Xino Family, and without evidence, they won’t harm ."
Liang Yan comforted Gu Qiaoqiao.
So there was a reason for being with Xino.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly asked, "Sister Yan, then tell , when will you return?"
Liang Yan shook her head, her eyes dimd, "Qiaoqiao, I don’t know either."
Then she turned her hand and held Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, looked into her eyes, and said word by word, "Qiaoqiao, maybe I’ll co back alive, maybe I’ll sacrifice myself. If I do sacrifice, I beg you to tell Fong Lei that I never betrayed him, nor our shared beliefs. I love him, until death do us part!"
Tears fell from Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes like peas, and she choked, "Sister Yan, why are you so foolish? How can you go to such a dangerous place? If sothing really happens, what about Master Fong? What about your parents?"
Liang Yan reached out and gently wiped the tears from Gu Qiaoqiao’s face, saying softly, "You silly girl, what’s there to cry about? If I don’t go, soone else will. It’s our duty and mission."
"Sister Yan, I truly admire you!" Gu Qiaoqiao said emphatically.
Liang Yan placed her hand on her ankle, moved her foot, and laughed, "You little girl, what’s there to admire? It’s what I should do."
