It was Kang Xing’s remark, laced with sarcasm, that caught Lin Deng and He Zhilan off guard.
"Gu En!"
The two shouted a na in unison!
"Could that woman be Gu En? Her eyes, Lin Deng, don’t you also feel that her gaze is particularly similar to Gu En’s?" He Zhilan was instantly tense when she thought of Gu En, "How did she end up like this? Why did she co to the village? Did she accidentally co here, or has my business in the village already leaked out?"
"It must have been a fluke," Lin Deng replied, "She was so shocked to see you that she sat right on the ground; it’s evident she didn’t know you were here initially! So, her appearance here probably has to do with her so-called brother attempting to sneak across the border! Then, by chance, they ended up in the mountain village and were discovered by the villagers, forcing her to pretend she was just heading ho!"
"If it really is Gu En, sister-in-law, aren’t you in danger? She’s a lunatic, a demon!" Kang Xing beca anxious, "No way! We need to relocate sister-in-law out of the village right away! We can’t wait even a night!"
Lin Deng nodded, "I fear that whoever is with Gu En must have so kind of background too, no matter how much that man tries to hide it, he has an intense hostility about him, especially the way he looks at people, there’s a fierce air in his gaze."
"Where should we hide sister-in-law then?" Kang Xing was so anxious he was becoming agitated, "Right now, I feel there’s nowhere safe, why not take sister-in-law to the military base? The base is strictly managed, and no matter how skilled Gu En and that man are, they won’t be able to infiltrate. Moreover, the people in our unit might not recognize sister-in-law when she gets there! When she cos to the base, we can just say she’s my wife from back ho, here to visit because she misses !"
"Are you stupid? You’re a soldier, you can’t just lie about being married, can you?" Lin Deng glanced at Kang Xing, "We’ll just say she’s the wife of my friend, here seeking help for so issues, and leave it at that! Although the people in the unit know He Zhilan’s story, none of them have actually seen her. Once we’re there, we’ll refrain from calling her by na, just call her sister-in-law, that way no one will link her pregnancy to the long-deceased He Zhilan. Afterward, we’ll protect her and update He Teng about what’s happening here. We’ll report Gu En’s appearance as well."
Though Lin Deng’s thod was a bit risky, it was also the safest option.
The two decided to act imdiately and by early afternoon, they took He Zhilan away from the Niu Family, leaving so instructions before departing.
However, He Zhilan was still pregnant, making the journey uphill and downhill difficult, and they worried about her possibly falling, so Lin Deng and Kang Xing took turns carrying her, which made He Zhilan feel quite guilty.
"Sister-in-law, don’t feel embarrassed, you’re so light, even pregnant you don’t weigh a hundred pounds. To Lin’s and my strength, under a hundred pounds feels like nothing!" Kang Xing kept reassuring He Zhilan the entire way, noticing how matured he has beco since they last t, no longer the carefree guy always smiling foolishly; Niu Rang’s sacrifice had deeply affected Kang Xing, catalyzing his rapid growth.
As evening approached, Lin Deng and Kang Xing, leading the pregnant woman urgently back, startled quite a few soldiers at the base.
