After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Chapter 1087: Even Our Own People Should Be Guarded Against

Noticing Lin Yuqing's unusual behavior, Zhang Kaifeng became curious and asked, "Why are you smiling so strangely?"

“Because your tone and the content of your speech are exactly the same as Mingyang’s!” Lin Yuqing said with a hint of mockery in her eyes. “You two are really strange. You’re always at odds, but your ideas are surprisingly similar. If you could join forces, you would definitely be perfect partners.”

Zhang Kaifeng, looking rather reluctant, haphazardly stuffed his hands with shrimp dumplings and said, "That guy is domineering and unreasonable. I'm afraid I'll be driven crazy if I cooperate with him! Let's just forget about it!"

Thinking of Xiao Mingyang's stubborn and willful nature, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but laugh. But soon, she was overwhelmed by endless longing.

Although they had only been apart for two days, Lin Yuqing missed Xiao Mingyang terribly, wondering if he was taking good care of Zhenzhen and himself...

Seeing the desolation in Lin Yuqing's eyes, Zhang Kaifeng knew what she was thinking.

With a soft sigh, Zhang Kaifeng wiped his hands with a tissue and said with a smile, "Let's eat quickly. We need to be full to deal with Si Wen's endless tricks. Although Si Wen is young, he is ruthless enough. We still can't let our guard down."

"I know," Lin Yuqing smiled again, encouraging herself, "You should eat well too, because we don't know when we'll get our next meal!"

……

Across a small green hill, Lin Yuqing looked at the ancient castle opposite, her eyes filled with longing and worry.

Putting down his binoculars, Zhang Kaifeng raised an eyebrow and said, "The sentry post has changed again. This Xiao Jincheng is really overthinking things; he even has to be wary of his own people."

With his hands behind his back, Si Wen said expressionlessly, "At this rate, we won't have a chance to sneak into the Xiao family before dark."

“But we managed to sneak in so easily yesterday. How did it turn out like this overnight?” Lin Yuqing said anxiously, clenching her hands and frowning. “Why don’t we contact Da Zhong again and ask him to think of a solution?”

Lin Yuqing's words seemed to be questioning Si Wen's abilities, so he quickly explained to himself, "This has nothing to do with who you ask for help! Xiao Jincheng is cunning and shrewd. Perhaps he has already discovered something, which is why he has redeployed the outposts."

Staring blankly ahead, Lin Yuqing murmured, "Yes, it's not impossible. But what should we do now? We can't just keep waiting."

Zhang Kaifeng knew Lin Yuqing was anxious, but now was not the time to rush things and solve the problem. He had to plan carefully and proceed with caution at every step.

He patted Lin Yuqing on the shoulder, and when Lin Yuqing turned around, she suddenly saw Zhang Kaifeng making a funny face at her.

Phew——

Lin Yuqing was genuinely surprised that Zhang Kaifeng, who was usually calm and composed, would make a funny face, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing Lin Yuqing relax, Zhang Kaifeng smiled knowingly and said, "See, it's not that hard to smile, so don't always be gloomy. Smile more, and your luck will improve."

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect our President Zhang to say such inspirational things. I will definitely remember them."

Although her tone was full of teasing, Lin Yuqing was very grateful to Zhang Kaifeng. It was with his companionship that she was able to calm down from her anxiety and move towards the right goal.

Seeing Lin Yuqing's smiling face, Zhang Kaifeng smiled knowingly and said, "Siwen once mentioned that Xuan'er would leave his room when he was sketching. Similarly, this child must have other excuses to go outside for a while. As long as we lead Xuan'er outside, where the view is wide, it will be easier for us to make our move. So you see, there is still a way, there is no need to put so much pressure on yourself."

Hearing this, Lin Yuqing nodded and said, "I understand, but what's the point of leading Xuan'er to an open area? Are we going to kidnap him?"

"No, that was just to divert the enemy's attention." Zhang Kaifeng picked up the binoculars again and looked at his face from the side. His features were strong and firm, with a mature and weathered beauty that was exceptionally captivating.

Seeing that Zhang Kaifeng didn't want to say more, Lin Yuqing didn't press him further. Although she was still preoccupied with her own thoughts, a sparkle in her eyes made her appear radiant.

Seeing the two people over there working together so well, while leaving him standing to the side, Si Wen felt very uncomfortable.

Unwilling to remain invisible, he walked over to Lin Yuqing, appearing gentle and considerate, and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

"Here, have some water first."

"Thank you." Lin Yuqing's attention was not on Si Wen, so her smile was forced and brief.

But it was this dazzling, trendy brilliance that Si Wen savored and carefully memorized.

Si Wen pulled up a chair and sat down next to Lin Yuqing. He said, "Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. After all, Xiao Jincheng won't be back for a while, so we have plenty of time to plan. Besides, don't you have an inside man to help you? As long as we figure out the route, we can execute it immediately."

Even so, Lin Yuqing's heart was in her throat every day she couldn't see Xuan'er, and she couldn't relax at all.

Seeing Lin Yuqing remain silent, Si Wen continued, "Moreover, I have already found a child of similar age to be Xuan'er's stand-in. With just a little makeup, she will look eight or nine parts like Xuan'er. You won't be able to tell the difference unless you look closely."

The familiar plan made Lin Yuqing's heart clench. Then, looking at Si Wen's scrutinizing gaze, she frowned and said, "This way, we can indeed rescue my Xuan'er. But what about the substitute child? Won't he also be in danger?"

"I've already given that child's parents a large sum of money as compensation; I haven't treated them unfairly," Si Wen said confidently. "Besides, in front of Xuan'er, other people's lives are insignificant!"

This cold, indifferent answer sent a chill down Lin Yuqing's spine. Giving Si Wen a deep look, Lin Yuqing shook her head and said, "That's too cruel! I don't agree to using someone else's life to replace Xuan'er's!"

"But don't you want to live with Xuan'er?"

"I want to, but I can't do it at the cost of other people's lives!"

With a hint of allure in his eyes, Si Wen said with a touch of emotion, "It seems you don't miss Xuan'er that much. If you really missed your child, you would have paid any price and wouldn't care about the lives of others."

"Although I really want to reunite with Xuan'er, that doesn't mean I have to abandon my conscience!" Lin Yuqing frowned, disagreeing with every word Si Wen said. However, her mind was in turmoil, and she didn't want to argue with Si Wen, so she turned away, her gaze fixed elsewhere.
