Chapter 333: Chapter 332: Outsmarted by One’s Own Wit!_1

"Dad, please don’t be like this."

Though Su Yue’er was bubbling with resentment, she still tried to comfort her father: "They’ve escaped; they’ve escaped! At worst, we’ll just have to start over! Let’s go, let’s go back to Lotus Garden. Dad, let’s go!"

"Lotus Garden, Lotus Garden, Lotus..."

The words mumbled from Su Sikong’s lips, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

He abruptly grabbed Su Yue’er’s hand: "Yue’er, you just mentioned Lotus Garden? Lotus Garden... right, right, right. How could I have forgotten about Lotus Garden? I’m such a fool!"

Su Sikong couldn’t help but raise his hand, promptly slapping himself in the face.

Causing Su Yue’er to cry out in horror.

"Ouch! Dad, why did you hit yourself..."

"Yue’er, I’ve figured it out. I now understand how they managed to evade our search! Hahaha...I get it! Hahaha..."

Su Sikong suddenly broke into a bitter laughter: "I thought myself clever, yet it seems ’Cleverness often outwits itself’! I used the Zhuge Liang strategy of repairing in the open while secretly advancing, but they just turned it around with their ’using the enemy’s strategy against them’. Not only did they utilize ’Golden Silkworm Shedding its Shell’ strategy beautifully, they also perfectly executed the strategy of ’fighting the enemy with their own tactics’! Hahaha..."

"Dad, what are you talking about? I’m getting more and more confused."

Su Yue’er was at a loss.

"You want to know how they managed to escape?"

Having finally stopped laughing, Su Sikong patted Su Yue’er’s shoulder, "Come! Let’s hear from your father the hindsight-Wise old Zhuge Liang... I think, Su Pan’er didn’t particularly make use of any complex methods. She must have speculated on our present situation, that if she had left with damn girl from the Jun Family, she would certainly be caught by us. So, she would definitely not leave the city..."

Su Yue’er quickly interrupted him: "But father, you’re wrong! They were not in the garden..."

"That’s exactly why they chose an alternative path and managed to escape! On one hand, Jun Ruoxue was leading an entire group away from the county government office to attract our attention, while on the other hand, that damn girl and Qin Yi managed to quietly slip out of the garden and hide while we were all distracted by the Jun girl at the county office."

With deep regret, Su Sikong said: "The most dangerous place is often the safest. While you were all still searching Jun Ruoxue’s garden, Su Pan’er and Qin Yi had probably sneaked into either your or my residence. At this point, there wouldn’t have been a safer place than that!"

"That...can’t be, can it?"

Su Yue’er could hardly believe it, what level of cunning and audacity would they need to pull this off?

"Ah! The reality is right in front of us, there’s no way you can’t believe it."

Su Sikong wore an expression of utter despair: "Then, they must have waited for your search to turn up empty, brought people along and chased towards the city gate before blending into the crowd and escaping the county office. I think, their next target would certainly be to go home. Although the South City Gate is the closest to home, it’s also the most dangerous, so they must have taken a detour to the East Gate. The path towards the North Gate is blocked by a river, so they could only take the East Gate!"

Su Yue’er was immediately panicked!

"Then, father, what should we do now? Should we rush to the East Gate immediately?"

"What’s the use of chasing them now, they must have run off long ago!"

Su Sikong’s gaze grew even gloomier: "...thus we’ve failed! We simply watched as they escaped under our very noses. This...this feeling in my heart...Yue’er, my heart hurts!"

Su Sikong wished he could turn back time and capture Su Pan’er and Qin Yi while he had the chance.

Thinking of Eighth Master’s repeated instructions in his letter to get rid of Su Pan’er, and how he had multiple chances but failed time and time again, how was he supposed to justify himself to Seventh and Eighth Masters.

Moreover, Eighth Master will soon arrive to marry Yue’er, and given Yue’er’s personality, she would certainly refuse, leading to an inevitable conflict!

If they had managed to achieve something significant, there would have been a chance to persuade Seventh Master to get Eighth Master to abandon this idea. But now, everything’s ruined!

If anything happens to my dear Yue’er, my life as a father would be in vain!

Thinking of this, Su Sikong was in such a rush that his eyes turned red. He beat his chest, tore at his hair and displayed a wild and crazy image.

"Father, don’t be upset or rush, let’s think about it again, see if there’s any other way," Su Yue’er hurriedly comforted him, her tears falling relentlessly: "Maybe we can still turn defeat into victory. Father, you think again."

"There’s no way, there’s no way left! They’ve already escaped, what else can we do..."

Su Sikong was seething with fury!

His fists repeatedly pounded against the stone wall of the city gate, leaving a trail of bloodied hand prints.

"Father, please don’t be like this! You’re hurt, it hurts me too, Dad, Dad! Woooooo...."

Su Yue’er couldn’t stop crying.

Su Sikong, however, suddenly stopped. He turned slowly to look at Su Yue’er, a flicker of hope in his eyes.

"Hmm, what did you just say?"

"I, I... what did I say? I said... said that your hand hurts..."

"Right, right! When you’re hurt, it does hurt! Hahaha... I know how to punish those two little wretches now! Wait here, I’ll definitely bring good news back to you. Hahaha!"

Su Sikong suddenly broke into wild, manic laughter.

He immediately ordered his troops and headed straight for Luoyan Village.

Has Father thought up a good solution?

Su Yue’er tilted her head, thinking hard for a long time but still couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation.

At this moment, Su Sikong seemed like a gambler who was desperate to recoup his losses, not considering any other consequences!

He led his men at a swift pace towards Luoyan Village.

On the way, he even caught up with Jun Ruoxue’s party, who had set off half an hour earlier.

Upon seeing him, Jun Ruoxue couldn’t help but lift her carriage curtains and smirk.

"Lord Su, where are you hurrying to in such a rush? Surely you’re not planning to apologize to my elder brother in advance? Even if you’re here to apologize, bringing this many people seems a bit excessive, don’t you think?"

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort from his nostrils, Su Sikong didn’t bother to converse, instead, he directly passed by their group, continuing his rapid journey towards Luoyan Village.

"Miss, something’s off about Lord Su’s demeanor!" said Zi Lan, her eyes keen.

"When we left, he clearly looked as if he had lost his parents. How come that he now looks so rejuvenated as if he had taken some potion? Could it be that something happened after we left?"

Jun Ruoxue’s brow furrowed.

After thoughtful consideration: "No matter what happened, Su Sikong’s behavior must have a reason. Have someone quickly chase after him. I want to see what exactly his game plan is!"

"Yes!"
