Lin Yu slowly approached Lao Liu, who trembled in fear. He did not expect that after helping Zhang Dashan's family just last night, he would be chased down so quickly. The man in front of him, although dressed plainly, had a strong build and a gaze filled with intense killing intent that sent chills down one's spine.
Lao Liu's legs weakened involuntarily; he wanted to retreat but found no escape. Lin Yu stood before him and said softly, "Uncle Liu, I'm sorry. I just want to find the Dashan family. Like you, I'm here to help them."
A flicker of doubt crossed Lao Liu's eyes as he trembled and asked, "Are you... really not here to capture them?"
Lin Yu took a deep breath and spoke sincerely, "I truly am here to help them. Zhang Dashan is my friend; they are in big trouble, and I must find them to ensure their safety."
Lao Liu still seemed reluctant to believe him, his gaze filled with suspicion and unease. "But... how can I trust you with that killing intent?"
Lin Yu sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "Uncle Liu, I am indeed not an ordinary person, but I am on the same boat as Zhang Dashan. Our common enemy is the Shadow Guard. If you don't believe me, their situation will become even more dangerous."
Lao Liu fell silent for a moment, contemplating Lin Yu's words. The events of last night left him shaken, but he also understood that if this man was truly there to help Zhang Dashan's family, refusing to assist would only put them in greater danger.
Finally, Lao Liu took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright, I'll trust you this once. They came looking for me last night; I directed them to the Small Farmhouse on the back mountain of Baiyue Village. It's relatively secluded and should be able to evade pursuers."
Lin Yu nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Uncle Liu. This information is very important to me."
Lao Liu looked at Lin Yu with a complex expression. "I hope you can really protect them."
Breathing heavily, Lao Liu leaned against the wall, his face filled with terror and confusion. Lin Yu reached out and helped Lao Liu up, whispering to him, "Uncle, I advise you to leave this place quickly. The pursuers are close behind; I can't protect everyone... please be careful."
Lao Liu looked at Lin Yu, his eyes filled with confusion and anxiety. "What trouble has the Dashan family gotten into? Xiao Yun is just a girl; what serious crime could she have committed... is it really that serious?"
Lin Yu's gaze flashed with a hint of pain, and complex emotions surged within him. He knew that Xiao Yun's background and origins were far more complicated and dangerous than Lao Liu could imagine. But how could the truth of it all be easily revealed?
He sighed softly and said calmly, "Everything is just a shared history... You should leave quickly."
Lao Liu looked at Lin Yu and felt the weight and helplessness in his words. He finally nodded, deciding not to ask any further questions. He understood that the man before him would not speak without reason; since he said so, the situation must be dire.
"Alright, I'll leave now. I hope you can protect them," Lao Liu said, his eyes filled with helplessness and concern.
Lin Yu watched as Lao Liu left the alley. Looking at Lao Liu's retreating figure, he knew that this man's fate was unlikely to end well. Perhaps from the moment he chose to help the Dashi family, his future had already been severed. The Shadow Guards would spare no effort in searching for any information and possible suspects; even if Lao Liu tried to escape, he would likely not be able to evade their grasp. At least, no matter what happened, he could never return to a normal life.
Lin Yu felt heavy-hearted. He understood that all he could do now was find Xiao Yun's family as soon as possible to ensure their safety. His pace quickened, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, but his thoughts inevitably returned to Lao Liu.
"He chose to help us, which was already a great risk," Lin Yu silently thought. "If the Shadow Guards find him, he will have no peace."
With this thought, a stronger sense of responsibility and urgency surged within Lin Yu. He knew he could not let Lao Liu's sacrifice be in vain, nor could he allow Xiao Yun's family to fall into danger again. He quickened his steps, passing through the narrow alleyway until he reached an open area.
In the distance, the outline of Baiyue Village gradually became clear. Lin Yu knew he had to find Zhang Dashan's family before the Shadow Guards did and help them escape this disaster. He silently prayed that he could get them to safety before things got worse.
Lin Yu continued running, his steps light and steady. The only thought in his mind was to protect Xiao Yun's family; no matter how great the danger, he had made up his mind to persevere until the end. This chase had only just begun, but he was already prepared to face any challenge.
Soon, Lin Yu rushed up a hill and spotted a small farmhouse on flat ground in the distance, seemingly the location mentioned by Lao Liu. A surge of joy filled his heart as he quickened his pace toward the small farmhouse.
As he ran, Lin Yu couldn't help but reflect on the past ten years. As a member of the Shadow Guards, he had secretly tracked Xiao Yun under the guise of his position to ensure her safety. Over these ten years, he had witnessed her grow from a little girl into a strong young woman, filled with conflicting and complex emotions. He knew that everything he did was to atone for past mistakes and seek redemption.
Lin Yu remembered that stormy night when he was ordered to wipe out the Xia Family, coldly and ruthlessly executing the command. However, when he saw Xiao Yun's innocent and fearful eyes, the ice in his heart was melted by a trace of humanity. He decided to spare her life, and from that moment on, he secretly protected her, hoping to atone for his sins.
Now, everything was about to shatter. The Shadow Guard had discovered Xiao Yun's existence, and the peaceful days of the past had vanished. All he could do was to do his utmost to protect Xiao Yun, the last descendant of the family he had exterminated ten years ago.
Lin Yu rushed into the Small Farmhouse, looking around for any sign of Zhang Dashan's family. His heart was filled with urgency and a sense of responsibility, knowing that every moment was crucial. He had to find them as soon as possible and take them away from this place of turmoil.
