Ye Ling had already organized her words in her mind and calmly began, "Village Chief, have you ever wondered why I would come to you with that worker who came out of the mine?"
Caught off guard by the shocking and confusing situation, the Village Chief hadn't considered this question. He looked at Ye Ling with suspicion and stammered, "You..."
Ye Ling smiled faintly and continued, "Today, I went to Chen County with a young female scholar from the village, Yu Huan. On our way back, we were captured by Wang Gang's men on the small road to the west of the village. They took us to the forest farm. I managed to escape and encountered the injured man on the way."
The Village Chief was completely astonished by all that had happened to Ye Ling. He opened his mouth to say something, but Ye Ling went on, "So, Village Chief, you need to send someone to rescue Yu Huan. This matter must also be kept secret."
