The remaining two black-robed men allowed her to vent her anger, remaining silent all along.
"What if this gets out and is traced back to me?" After venting her spleen, Li Yanran sat on the stool, muttering to herself like a listless rag doll.
"Miss, rest assured, no one has ever known our identities. I can stake my life on it, they will leave absolutely no trace." One of the black-robed men tried to soothe her, bowing his head.
Yes, they were ready to die for the cause. Li Yanran finally regained a bit of her spirit. "Hide yourselves well; until I summon you, you are not to appear in the Li Residence."
"Yes." The two black-robed men vanished into the room.
Li Yanran lay alone in bed, tossing and turning, feeling somewhat uneasy. Sitting quietly on her own, she decided to be patient, keep an eye on the situation, and wait it out.
The next day, Lady You saw that Yanran had not left her quarters, and sent a maid to investigate.
