Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 60: Someone was Actually Tailing
Qin Kaize trusted the people he had trained to leave his side. Ke Zeming was currently in Hu City, and he was a close friend who had gone through life-and-death situations with him. So, the people he had chosen to bring along were naturally trustworthy.
Gao Huabin immediately saluted and said, "I promise to complete the mission!"
After they left, Su Yijia planted a deep kiss on Qin Kaize’s lips once more. Even though other places might have been more convenient for this, she thought that since he could still eat, his lips should still retain some sensation. Besides, this was her way of making sure he knew she had kissed him.
"Don’t be too stubborn. Go to crowded places; it’s easier to detect anything unusual. A crowd can hinder action but makes it easier to spot threats."
Qin Kaize was extremely worried and kept blinking rapidly while giving Su Yijia lengthy instructions.
Su Yijia suppressed her laughter, nodded seriously, and replied, "You can trust me. I’ll follow your instructions, and I won’t be stubborn. After I finish my tasks today, I’ll try to apprehend the culprits if possible. If not, I’ll stay at home for ten days or half a month and even let Gao do the grocery shopping." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Although she thought the same way in her heart, Qin Kaize still didn’t believe her promises. After all, she had made a similar promise to him just before Xia Weiguo left.
Gao Huabin returned rather quickly, taking about half an hour. However, his relaxed expression turned serious as soon as he entered the room.
"Are you sure you really want to go?" Gao Huabin asked. "When I went out to make a phone call just now, I felt like I was being followed not far from the alley. It definitely wasn’t our people."
"That’s even more reason for me to go!" Su Yijia replied without any hint of hesitation. "If I don’t go out, how can I create an opportunity to deal with them? You’ve already called people, right? Since you’ve noticed, I’m sure you’ve called extra. I’ll go out on my own, and you guys can follow me from behind."
Gao Huabin couldn’t believe that this young girl was fearless in the face of such danger. He looked to Qin Kaize for guidance.
Qin Kaize wanted to change his mind, but Su Yijia immediately clung to his legs and looked up at him with a pitiful expression. "We’ve already agreed, you can’t go back on your word now!"
Qin Kaize’s head was pounding. If these were his subordinates, he would have kicked them out a long time ago. They weren’t obedient, they liked to join in the excitement, and they liked to show off. But when it came to his wife, he couldn’t even scold her, let alone hit her.
"Let her go! Be careful! Don’t get into any trouble!" Qin Kaize reluctantly gave in and shifted the responsibility onto Gao Huabin.
Gao Huabin felt like crying but had to tough it out. "Don’t worry, Boss! I promise I won’t let anything happen to your wife!"
To be honest, Su Yijia did feel guilty when she saw how determined they were. If it weren’t for the mission, she would never have dragged them into this situation where they had to constantly worry about their safety. She was also worried that these people might have weapons, and if they got injured because of her, she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself.
But for now, whether it was for her own future or to successfully complete the mission in this novel’s world and return to her original world, she had to put aside these feelings of guilt and be a bit selfish. Su Yijia wouldn’t pretend that she was risking others for noble reasons like saving the old professor or unlocking treatment formulas for Qin Kaize. Ultimately, her motivation to move forward was driven by her own self-interest.
