Chapter 500: A Glimmer of Hope

Knowing that Feng Jianling had made arrangements, Qi Yun did not bother with these people for the time being.

"Captain, look, there are a series of footprints here." Not far along the river, they made a discovery. There were traces of someone having lingered by the riverbank, along with a series of footprints, deep and shallow, indicating the person had difficulty walking.

The secret guard deduced that Madam must have been washed ashore and upon awakening, moved up the bank.
