Chapter 657: I am not that weak

Though Yu Dong did not blame Shen Li who was just a mer who could not fight against Gu Li, it did not mean that she was not going to blame someone else. She turned to Village head Gu and walked over to where she was standing with a rather aggressive stance, seeing her like this Village head Gu thought that she was going to be punched in the face for sure but before Yu Dong could reach her, she was stopped by Wu Junfen who caught her arm and said, " Don't move around recklessly, even if Gu Li is Village head Gu's sister, there is nothing that she could do anything about. We all were fooled by her, even I would have never thought that a veteran like her who worked in the army once would be like this."          

    

Wu Junfen felt bitter just thinking about how she always thought that Gu Li was one of the few villagers who knew what they were doing and had a stable mind and plans, who would have thought that such an ugly face hid behind the mask that she wore on her face.     

" That's right!" Village head Gu was already scared stiff when she heard that the person who was behind the kidnapping and killing of the mers was none other than the sister she doted on the most, and now that she knew that her foolish sister also kidnapped Yu Dong's husband and Xiao Hua, she was already shaking.      

She was worried that she will be beaten black and blue by Yu Dong which was why she turned to look at Yu Dong and said earnestly, " I really had no idea that the woman was like this. She has been so kind and helpful to others and she even adopted Pei Yuyan when the latter was in trouble, who would have thought that she will be hiding such hideous truth behind her kind mask?"     

" But don't worry, she will not kill Ye Liu and Xiao Hua," Village head Gu insisted as she looked at Yu Dong who was glaring at her with red eyes. " You can rest assured about that, she needs both Ye Liu and Xiao Hua to make them listen to each other. She will keep them alive until or unless she marries Xiao Hua, and we will get the two of them back by that time. You just need to stay calm and keep your head on the right track, Yu Dong. Your husband needs you to stay calm and think."      

Yu Dong did not want to be calm especially when she had no idea where Gu Li might have taken her husband and Xiao Hua with her. She could have been calm in the face of danger, even in the face of death she did not flinch but how can she be calm at this moment? She couldn't even think of staying calm when she knew that her husband was in danger along with the man she loved.      

Fang Chi took a step forward and with his face covered with sympathy and concern, he placed his hand on Yu Dong's arm. She wanted to stop Fang Chi because she knew that she could not handle getting touched at the moment when she was like a ticking bomb but she knew that even if the dark emotions were swirling in her heart she could not let them explode at the wrong person and Fang Chi was not in the wrong which was why she let him get close to her and invade her personal space.      

" We will get to them, they were just taken away which meant that Gu Li has not taken them away for a long distance, we just need to follow her while keeping a straight head," he turned to look at Chen Mi who nodded and said, " I made some pouches for everyone in the house including Xiao Hua," he said with a slight distaste. " Those pouches are made from the herbs that you grew, you know? If you trace their scent then you will be able to catch Gu Li and her partner."     

Yu Dong snapped her head and looked at Chen Mi who was reminding her that she could still catch the three of them and was surprised, she did not even know when he did that, she blinked her eyes and asked, " Mi, you did that—-" she wanted to ask whether he did that because he wanted to make sure that they will be able to track Xiao Hua in case the worst happened but the latter simply scoffed.      

" I just don't know what is good about that mer but since you like him then I can't let him be dragged away," he said with a face that was full of white look and glared at Yu Dong when he saw that the latter look surprised, he raised a brow and said, " Why are you looking at us like that? We are not fools who can't catch something this simple."      

Yu Dong's face burned a little as she turned to look at Fang Chi in embarrassment who smiled at her gently and patted her cheek as he softly said, " You don't have to think so much about me, you know? I am stronger than you think I am. Before you married me, I always thought that I will stay alone till the day I die."      

" I was an abandoned mer whom no one wanted to marry, not even an aged woman who lost more than three husbands because I was ugly and didn't fit in the norm of mer beauty but you married me and you even gave me a home, what's more, you even brought me so much happiness, slowly teaching me that I am more than just a mer who needs to care about my looks."      

With his eyes glimmering with love and tears Fang Chi patted Yu Dong on the cheek and caressed her lips. " You have given so much to me, can't I even give a small space in the house to the mer whom you love? I am not that  selfish, now go and get that mer safe and sound."      

" Don't let brother Liu's sacrifice go in vain."
