The tale now diverges to follow Huang Donglai and Lei Buji.
With the help of informants along the way, the two quickly caught up to Huang Jun, who was fleeing through the night.
Huang Jun had already sprained his ankle, so even though Huang Donglai could not utilize his Qinggong, he could easily keep pace.
There is a saying, "In panic, we do not choose our path." And Huang Jun was the embodiment of that; just moments before, upon witnessing Sun Ling being surrounded by a sudden ambush of government officials, he had written Sun Ling off as dead in his heart... Having once held the bag himself, Huang Jun knew full well its weight, and he estimated that with such a substantial sum, coupled with the crime happening red-handed, Sun Ling would at least be sentenced to join the army or be exiled; should the officials further discover the previous scamming and robbery acts that Sun Ling and he had committed while posing as Double Xie, the penalty would rise another degree.
