Chapter 699 Ye Qing Exposed (10th Update)

All communication was severed, and Ye Qing no longer attempted to call for help. Instead, he left Lin Huayu's small building and began to search the surrounding area. With so many members of the Lin family present, it was improbable that the assailants could have killed everyone. Until he saw bodies, Ye Qing clung to a sliver of hope.

The Lin family manor was vast, comprising over a dozen pavilions, each spaced some distance from the next. Ye Qing searched several pavilions without spotting a single soul, which only heightened his concern. Nevertheless, he did not falter and continued his search until he arrived at the main hall where the Lin family received guests.

As Ye Qing approached, he heard voices in the distance. His heart skipped a beat, knowing he had finally found some people. He proceeded with caution, slowing his pace and stealthily moving from the doorway to a window.
