"Drag them all away!" Zimo ground his teeth as he ordered the guards.
"Yes, my lord," the guard replied.
All five men in black were dragged away, leaving only Lin Caisang and Zimo in the courtyard.
"It seems I was wrong!"
Zimo came over to Lin Caisang, relieved to see she was unharmed, yet his expression remained grave.
It was him who, wishing to be alone with Sang'er, had sent the guards to watch outside the courtyard, while Zhe Jue, upon receiving his orders, went off to prepare the medicinal materials and items Caisang needed.
"No one's at fault; those people are just too cruel," Lin Caisang said.
She too hadn't expected that merely appearing by Zimo's side would prompt those men to try to capture her and use her as a hostage to threaten Zimo.
"It seems that those men are indeed not to be underestimated, and I'll need to redouble my efforts," she reflected.
