After transmigrating into the body of a stepmother, I led the villains in a rebellion.

In this urgent situation, Lu Junheng didn't have time to think much; a carriage was always faster than walking.

Lu Junheng's rare decision not to refuse Bai Qi'an surprised Bai Qi'an.

She believed she had opened Lu Junheng's heart and made him take the initiative to become her friend.

The two of them ran quickly toward the entrance of Qingsong Academy, and Bai Qi'an summoned his page.

The pageboy quickly arrived with two guards, looking quite menacing.

The two quickly boarded the carriage. Bai Qi'an left his page to cover for them and, with two guards, hurried towards Qijia Village.

On the way, Bai Qi'an noticed that Lu Junheng looked preoccupied and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Lu Junheng, why did that person want to capture you?"

"And what about your mother? She used to always come to pick you up, but she hasn't come for a long time lately. Has something happened?"

“My mother has gone out,” Lu Junheng said, his expression softening slightly as he mentioned his mother.

When my mother was alive, I felt that every day was fulfilling.

Ever since my mother was taken away by my father, life suddenly changed.

The courtyard became quiet, and even the food lost its usual appeal.

"She went out? Do you know when she'll be back?" Jiang Mubai had told him that Doctor Lin's cooking was delicious.

The fact that this person isn't home means he's unlikely to meet them.

Lu Junheng shook his head.

He didn't know that when he left, his father told him that his mother would only be gone for half a month.

A month has passed, and there's still no news. We don't know what happened.

Just as the two were deep in thought, a series of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from afar.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder as they approached.

Lu Junheng cautiously lifted the curtain and saw a group of people on horseback chasing after them, carrying torches, not far away.

He frowned slightly. He hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly.

Just as he was deep in thought, he heard Bai Qi'an cursing, "That damned Lu Junheng, he's really useless, he couldn't even last for an incense stick."

Lu Junheng felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing someone cursing him to his face.

He said irritably, "If you can't swear, then don't swear."

This time, Bai Qi'an was not in the wrong, since Lu Junheng hadn't told him that guy's real name.

"Then why didn't you tell me his name? How am I supposed to yell at him?"

Lu Junheng knew that this guy had been waiting for him here for a long time. He sighed helplessly and uttered three words in a low voice, "Zhao Xinyuan".

No sooner had he finished speaking than Bai Qi'an cursed, "Damn, so corny. No wonder I like your name. It feels like we're not even in the same league. I have to say, your parents know how to name their children."

...Lu Junheng, is this the time to discuss this matter?

This guy really can't tell what's important.

Before Lu Junheng could even complain about him, he launched the first attack.

Bai Qi'an instructed the guards outside the carriage, "Go and send them away; they're disturbing the young master."

“Yes, young master,” one of them tightened the reins, while the other jumped off the carriage and walked toward the people chasing after them in the distance.

However, Liu Wuhen and the others were completely unreasonable and started fighting before they could even say a word.

Seeing that his brothers were no match for him, the guards on horseback turned to Bai Qi'an in the carriage and said, "Young Master, you run quickly, I'll go stop them."

Seeing his men suffer a setback, Bai Qi'an immediately wanted to rush down to take revenge, but was grabbed by Lu Junheng.

"What are you going to do? They can't beat you, but you can."

"Then what do we do? Are we just going to wait to get arrested?" Bai Qi'an looked at him speechlessly.

Lu Junheng's lips twitched slightly. "Run," he said, then pulled Bai Qi'an down from the carriage in the dark and ran towards a small hill not far away.

Fortunately, Lu Junheng was quite familiar with this road, so he knew which direction was more concealed.

After Liu Wuhen and the others dealt with Bai Qi'an's guards, they arrived at the carriage, only to find it already empty.

Liu Wuhen felt like he had been tricked again.

He was already seething with anger, and now his temper was flaring up even more.

"Damn it, find him! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find him for me."

He hadn't expected an eight- or nine-year-old child to be so difficult.

From being deceived by Qingsong Academy to being played now, he felt a sense of shame at being manipulated.

If that kid hadn't been caught and turned out to be a spineless coward, he probably would have already lost his head.

The thought of Lu Junheng deceiving her made Liu Wuhen unable to swallow her anger.

As soon as Liu Wuhen gave the order, the riders jumped off their horses and ran towards the small hill not far away.

Lu Junheng bringing Bai Qi'an along was undoubtedly a burden.

He didn't blame the young master for not being familiar with the place, since he had never been here before, which was understandable.

But why did he complain that he couldn't run anymore after only a few steps?

"you……"

"I'm scared, my legs are weak," Bai Qi'an said, seeing that Lu Junheng was about to get angry. He quickly made his position clear, as it was definitely not that he had a problem with his physical strength or that he couldn't run.

For a fleeting moment, Lu Junheng wanted to strangle him.

With no other option, he could only take a deep breath and try to calm the frustration stuck in his chest.

With patience and earnestness, he said, "Bai Qi'an, now is not the time for you to be afraid. We must run quickly, or he really will kill us."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi'an's face paled slightly, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, then you lead the way, and I'll try my best not to hold you back."

Seeing this, Lu Junheng pulled him along and continued running forward.

However, no matter how clever and calm Lu Junheng was, they were still just two children, and how could they possibly be a match for a group of adults?

Soon, Liu Wuhen found their trail. "They're over there, chase them."

With Liu Wuheng's command, the familiar figures behind him followed closely, rapidly approaching Lu Junheng and Bai Qi'an.

In the darkness, the flickering torchlight became a deadly nightmare for Lu Junheng and his companion.

As Liu Wuhen and the others drew ever closer, Lu Junheng grew extremely anxious.

He knew that he would be caught sooner or later if things continued like this, but there was nowhere to seek refuge right now.

Apart from sparse woods and overgrown open spaces, there were no other obstructions around.

He began to feel secretly anxious.

He wasn't afraid of being arrested; he was afraid that they would arrest him to threaten his father and mother.

Especially since Father has just woken up, we absolutely cannot let him implicate us any further.

Lu Junheng clenched his fists, which were hanging by his sides, and glanced at Bai Qi'an with a complicated expression.

Bai Qi'an was dragged into this mess because of him. Although he doesn't have much sense of morality, he should save him.

Just as Lu Junheng was pondering how to save Bai Qi'an, Liu Wuhen and the others had already arrived at the small hill in front of them.

The flickering firelight made Liu Wuhen's already gloomy face appear even more distorted.

Like a cobra lurking in black, filled with coldness and venom, it was flicking its tongue at them, wanting to devour and poison them.
