CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 430: IT’S NOT MY BLOOD

Hei Tie couldn’t understand why, with a human shield at hand, he was captured even more quickly.

Mo Siyu tied Hei Tie up, and only then did Hei Tie understand, his eyes bulging with anger as he exclaimed, "You know each other?"

Hei Tie had just been worried about whether Tang Yue, the hostage, would make Mo Siyu agree to his terms. But seeing the closeness between them, he was taken aback.

Mo Siyu didn’t even glance at Hei Tie. He pulled Tang Yue to his side, and when his gaze swept over the blood on her hands, his pupils contracted as he asked, "Where are you hurt?"

"Don’t worry, it’s not my blood," Tang Yue hurriedly explained.

Mo Siyu looked at Tang Yue suspiciously.

Tang Yue struggled to explain clearly and said, "Si Yu, it’s a long story, but the blood isn’t mine. I’m fine."

"Why are you here? Didn’t you go to gather herbs?" Tang Yue excitedly looked at Mo Siyu, previously hoping to run into him, never expecting they would be so fated to meet.

"Are we especially fated to meet like this?" In front of Mo Siyu, Tang Yue was like an innocent girl, unaware of worldly affairs. Her excited expression, her smile of happiness, and the adoration in her eyes as she looked at Mo Siyu were something Meng Yanzhi had never seen before.

She smiled with curved eyes, in the way he liked the most. Once, he had fantasized about Tang Yue lying in his arms with such a smile, but alas...

Meng Yanzhi slowly got up, the wound on his abdomen splitting open, very painful but not as much as the ache in his chest.

"Yes, we are fated," Mo Siyu embraced her and asked, "What brings you here?"

He avoided Tang Yue’s question.

Mo Siyu’s cold gaze swept towards a somber Meng Yanzhi.

"I..." Tang Yue started to speak but couldn’t find the right words.

"It was me who brought her here by force," Meng Yanzhi confessed boldly, adding, "Mo Siyu, I will surely defeat you."

"Not good." Suddenly, Tang Yue grabbed Mo Siyu and started running, urgently saying, "I need to check on Lian Qingyang and Yu Zhaodi."

Having been helplessly taken away by Meng Yanzhi before, and now having the ability to act, Tang Yue naturally worried about Lian Qingyang.

"Wait a second." Mo Siyu sent up a signal, and soon Zhao Xiangqian was the first to arrive. Seeing Tang Yue, he exclaimed in surprise, "Little sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"Zhao Xiangqian, let’s not explain this now, saving them is more urgent. I’ll treat you to a meal later," Tang Yue said, pulling Mo Siyu along as they ran.

"Little sister-in-law, you better keep your word," Zhao Xiangqian called after Tang Yue’s retreating figure as he pulled Hei Tie up.

Using not-so-standard Mandarin, Hei Tie asked, "You called that woman little sister-in-law?"

"Yeah, she’s Brother Mo’s fiancée, but don’t get any ideas. You might not even have a latter half of your life left," Zhao Xiangqian said as he tightly grasped Hei Tie, not daring to take him lightly.

Hei Tie had no clue about Zhao Xiangqian’s unspoken thoughts, and he spat out blood in anger. If he had known how important that woman was, he would have clung to her, no, he would have threatened Mo Siyu with a knife. How could Mo Siyu dare to lay hands on him?

Hei Tie had held the woman hostage without much thought, thinking if Mo Siyu didn’t care, he would just toss her to Mo Siyu. He never imagined that the woman he happened upon by chance would be Mo Siyu’s.

Hei Tie felt a deep regret, so much that his insides turned blue with it.

Zhao Xiangqian’s gaze kept returning to Meng Yanzhi, wondering in his mind what Meng Yanzhi was also doing here.

Could it be, that little sister-in-law and Meng Yanzhi have been together all along? Meeting him in the forest?

Pfft, little sister-in-law wouldn’t fancy someone like Meng Yanzhi, that dandy.

"It should be just ahead." Tang Yue ran anxiously forward. When she was taken away, Lian Qingyang was injured, and Yu Zhaodi was helpless. Could they really be in trouble?

Tang Yue ran extremely fast, not caring at all about the tree branches scratching her.

Mo Siyu said, "Xiao Yue, don’t panic, they’ll be fine." Mo Siyu simply hoisted Tang Yue onto his back and said, "You guide the way."

Carrying her, he could move even faster.

"I..." Tang Yue wanted to refuse, but Mo Siyu didn’t give her a chance to. She lay on his back, very safe. Her memory was quite good, and coupled with the fact that Meng Yanzhi hadn’t taken any detours, they followed the path for about ten minutes.

"It’s just ahead." Tang Yue saw the wounded men; those were indeed Meng Yanzhi’s subordinates. She said, "Be careful, these are thugs Meng Yanzhi found from who knows where, and they’re quite formidable."

She knew a bit about Lian Qingyang’s skills. Someone who could leave Lian Qingyang helpless was certainly no ordinary man.

"Don’t worry, your man is very capable." Mo Siyu put her down, lightly flicked her hair, and his words echoed in her ears. The next moment, Mo Siyu had already charged into the crowd.

Tang Yue’s gaze followed him closely. His tall figure entered the circle surrounded by a dozen men, his presence still overwhelmingly strong. Unlike Lian Qingyang’s fighting style, Mo Siyu’s moves were stable, precise, and ruthless to the extreme—a kick for one, a punch for another, with each strike hitting vital points.

Compared to Lian Qingyang’s child’s play, it was a huge difference.

The previously formidable men now seemed weak as reeds in front of Mo Siyu.

"Where’s Lian Qingyang?"

In less than five minutes, Mo Siyu had everyone down. He stepped on one of the men and demanded, "Where is he?"

"In... in..." The man was in so much pain he could hardly speak clearly. He pointed to the nearby gully and said, "He fell down there."

"What?" Tang Yue was shocked, and hastily looked towards the gully. The gully appeared very deep. She cupped her hands around her mouth to make a megaphone and shouted loudly, "Lian Qingyang, Yu Zhaodi?"

Her crisp voice echoed through the mountains.

"Xiao Yue, I’m going down." Mo Siyu reassured Tang Yue and prepared to descend.

Tang Yue, worried, asked, "Are you just going down like that?"

The gully looked quite steep, and she wasn’t sure how Xiao Yang and the others were.

"It’s okay."

Mo Siyu gave her a comforting smile and cautiously used his strengths to step down carefully.

"Brother Mo." Zhao Xiangqian, with Hei Tie in tow, moved slowly. When they saw so many people downed and Mo Siyu about to descend into the gully, he quickly asked, "Little sister-in-law, what’s Brother Mo doing down there?"

"My brother and my classmate fell down there." Tang Yue responded anxiously and worriedly, continuously reminding Mo Siyu to be careful.

Upon hearing that two people were down there, Zhao Xiangqian glanced at Tang Yue and Meng Yanzhi beside her. He became very anxious, and it just so happened that Li Wei and Yan Dong also arrived. Zhao Xiangqian immediately said, "You guys watch him, I’ll go help."
