I insist

Chapter 451: Found

After hearing Yu Huailin's instructions, the guards began to keep an eye on the General of the Cavalry's residence, trying to see if there was any movement inside.

Soon, they noticed that Du Chun'an had left with a large group of people, and they felt it was time for them to take action.

The bodyguard relayed the news to Yu Huailin.

"Du Chun'an left the General's Mansion with people?" Yu Huailin asked, frowning slightly.

The guard nodded slightly: "Yes, and they brought a large group of guards with them, and they seemed to be in a great hurry, so it must be something urgent."

"Master, should we act now? Du Chun'an isn't in the manor; our operation might be more successful then."

Yu Huailin nodded: "That's what I was thinking too. You guys keep a close eye on Du Chun'an outside, I'll go in and find her."

"It's too dangerous. If he really came for Miss Song, he couldn't have left in such a hurry without any preparations. There might be many dangers inside."

"We might not be able to find Miss Song easily, so Master, you should stay here and wait. We'll go rescue Miss Song."

Yu Huailin shook his head: "No, I have to go find her myself. Let's go."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Yu Huailin, the guards had no choice but to follow him to the General of the Cavalry's residence.

Yu Huailin stayed in the shadows until nightfall. Once everything was quiet, he entered the general's mansion without making a sound.

When the guards saw him go inside, they left two men in the shadows while the others followed him down to find Song Miqiu.

Yu Huailin led his guards to secretly infiltrate the general's mansion and searched it thoroughly, but they found no one there.

However, Yu Huailin did not give up. He knew that it was impossible to search an entire mansion without having it thoroughly searched.

There must be a hidden place that they haven't found.

Just as Yu Huailin was wondering how to find out Song Miqiu's whereabouts, a guard brought over the general's steward and threw him on the ground.

“Master, this is the steward of the General’s Mansion. Perhaps he knows something.”

Yu Huailin looked at the butler and asked directly, "Where is the woman Du Chun'an brought earlier being kept?"

"I don't know, what woman? I'm not sure."

The steward was very loyal and would never tell an outsider the secrets of the General's Mansion.

"It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Since you won't talk, then we'll beat you until you do."

After Yu Huailin finished speaking, he gave the guard a look, and the guard nodded in understanding. Then, his fists rained down on the steward.

The bodyguards are all meticulously trained, so they naturally know where to strike most painfully, and they can also make it impossible for anyone to tell that they are injured.

At first, the butler was able to hold on, but after a while, he couldn't bear the pain anymore and quickly spoke to Yu Huailin.

"I know where she is. Please stop hitting me. I'm willing to tell you where she is."

Yu Huailin gave the guard a look, then coldly looked at the butler: "Where is she?"

"She's in a secret room; her master has locked her up in a secret room."

The butler had been beaten so badly that he could barely stand and could only answer Yu Huailin's questions while lying on the ground.

Yu Huailin asked for directions to the secret room. After the butler finished speaking, he walked directly there, with the guards following behind him.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the secret room.

There were two guards outside the door of the secret room. Before Yu Huailin could give any orders, the guards stepped forward and started fighting with the guards.

The guards were no longer able to keep an eye on the entrance to the secret chamber, so they didn't realize that Yu Huailin had gone in without their noticing.

Yu Huailin thought he would see Song Miqiu after entering the secret room, but he didn't see her. Instead, the room was empty and there was no one there.

His first reaction was that the butler had lied to him. His face turned very ugly, and he turned to leave.

He had only taken two steps when he suddenly remembered that when he looked around, he had noticed footprints on the ground, and those footprints were not pointing outwards, but inwards.

Thinking of this, Yu Huailin turned around and looked at the ground. Sure enough, he saw a series of footprints leading inward. He followed the footprints.

He had only taken two steps when he stopped. The footprints on the ground had disappeared, and he was standing in front of a wall, a stone wall.

Yu Huailin carefully examined the wall, convinced that there must be a mechanism inside, otherwise there wouldn't be footprints on the ground.

Moreover, there would be no one guarding the outside, and all the evidence proves that there must be a secret mechanism inside.

He kept feeling around the wall, trying to find the mechanism. His hand had been touching the wall for so long that he had almost touched an entire wall before finally finding a protruding spot.

Yu Huailin held his breath and pressed the protrusion down. Sure enough, the wall opened up.

He followed the gaze and saw a space inside. He walked over quickly, and after the wall stopped moving, he finally saw the person he had been longing for.

Song Miqiu was pacing back and forth inside, wondering when she could get out. Just as she was thinking this, she noticed the wall was moving.

She thought it was Du Chun'an who had returned, and looked outside warily, but unexpectedly, she saw Yu Huailin instead.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy.

Upon seeing Song Miqiu, Yu Huailin disregarded everything else, ran straight over, hugged Song Miqiu tightly, and whispered, "I've finally found you."

His voice carried a sense of relief, but also a slight tremor, which Song Miqiu noticed.

She hugged Yu Huailin back and whispered, "I knew you would find me, and sure enough, you did."

After hearing Song Miqiu's words, Yu Huailin looked her over carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was unharmed.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Let's get out of here quickly, we can't stay here any longer."

Song Miqiu was excited to see Yu Huailin, but this was not the time to be excited. It would be better for them to leave quickly, since no one knew when Du Chun'an would return.

Yu Huailin nodded repeatedly: "You're right, let's get out of here quickly."

After saying this, Yu Huailin grabbed Song Miqiu's hand and walked out. At this time, the guards outside were still being entangled by the secret guards and did not notice them at all.

Yu Huailin took Song Miqiu away from the general's mansion. After returning to his residence, he held Song Miqiu tightly and wouldn't let go for a moment.

Song Miqiu guessed that Yu Huailin might have been really frightened this time, so she let him hold her.

"It's none of your business, you don't need to overthink it. I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?"

"It's my fault for not protecting you."
