Wu Shutong hummed softly before hanging up the phone, leaving Song Ruyu staring at her device, biting her lower lip in silence.


    On the side, charlie Wade mused to himself, “Your Grand Commander has asked you to report back to the Tongzhi, implying that his return might be dyed for a while.” <fn21b2> Fresh chapters posted on find·novel</fn21b2>


    Song Ruyu then spoke up, “The Grand Commander has important matters to attend to.”


    With a hint of disdain, charlie Wade replied, “What important matters? It’s just a matter of going to Nigeria to serve the three elders.”


    Surprised, Song Ruyu eximed, “How do you know that?” <h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    charlie Wade shrugged casually, “I know because Sara arranged for the three elders to go to Nigeria. Was it meant to lure me into a trap? Little did she know, my sights are set on Moro, not Nigeria.”


    Song Ruyu couldn’t help but admire charlie Wade’s strength and intelligence.


    She was taken aback that he was aware of such information, which she deemed privileged. It was only due to Grand Commander Wu Shutong’s exceptional trust that she learned about it.


    She realized that Wu Shutong had gone to great lengths to win her over, and she had initially nned to ept his favors, hoping he would look after the Song family well. Now, however, it seemed all for naught.


    Reflecting on charlie Wade’s impressive capabilities, especially his ability to orchestrate the secret evacuation of tens of thousands, she began to understand that he must have significant resources and connections, enabling him to stand against the Poqing Society. A sudden idea struck her, and she knelt before charlie Wade, pleading, “Mr. Wade, you possess incredible powers. You can break the strange poison affecting the Cavalry Guard. I implore you to save my family from peril! If you can help them, I am willing to dedicate my life to you and follow your lead!”


    Curious, charlie Wade asked, “Do you want me to evacuate your entire family from France?”


    “Yes!” Song Ruyu affirmed vigorously, her eyes filled with hope. “The Poqing Society has been using strange poisons to control the Song family, leaving them without any oversight. If you could arrange for their escape and help them detoxify, they could finally break free from the Wu family’s maniption!”


    charlie Wade replied, “If I extract you alone, Sara will assume you were kidnapped or killed by me. And if I take your family away, she will undoubtedly realize you have betrayed her. Have you considered the family members of the Song family who are married into the Wu family? Even if I manage to whisk your family away from France, Ick the means to rescue those already in the Wu family. Are you not concerned that Sara and the Wu family would retaliate against them?”


    Song Ruyu hesitated, the reality of her situation dawning on her.


    The adult female members of the Song family had predominantly married into the Wu family, and should the Song family defect, these rtives would inevitably face consequences.


    Given Sara’s vengeful nature, she would likely eliminate all members of the Song family to set an example.


    Once this thought crossed Song Ruyu’s mind, her previously hopeful expression turned ashen.


    Recognizing that many women in her family were married off, she whispered, “Mr. Wade is right. I haven’t thought this through. The best oue for them might be for me to disappear.”


    Noticing her distress, charlie Wade reassured her, “Miss Song, don’t fret too much. When we evacuate, I’ll leave your sword behind. This ce will be a ruin, leading the Poqing Society to believe you were killed by me. In their eyes, you’ll be seen as a martyr for their cause, which will ensure they treat your family well. After I deal with Sara and the three elders, I will help you reunite with your family and grant freedom to all your rtives.”


    Then, shifting the topic, charlie Wade cautioned, “However, if you waver or hesitate, my promises will mean nothing. I hope you can recognize the situation and adjust your mindset.”


    Song Ruyu understood that charlie Wade was calling her out for her indecision. Realizing this, she replied respectfully, “Mr. Wade, please rest assured. I will focus solely on following your lead and obeying yourmands!”
