The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 362: Chapter 361: Notebook

Gu Tingyu nodded after hearing what Yiyi said, ”Yes, part of it is Zhang Li’s fault. This time Xiao Gao got injured almost entirely because of her. She deliberately exposed our whereabouts, causing our encirclement action to fail.”

However, at the end, Gu Tingyu continued, ”But ultimately, it’s because there’s a mole within the organization. Zhang Li is just one link; the most important is the mole who leaked all our information.”

Yiyi frowned upon hearing this and said, ”All the information? Does that mean the mole is quite powerful? Otherwise, they couldn’t possibly know all your actions.”

Gu Tingyu’s expression was somewhat heavy as he nodded, ”Yes, that person should be someone of high rank and power; otherwise, they wouldn’t know so much.” But finally, Gu Tingyu touched Yiyi’s hair and said, ”We’ll talk about these things once we get out of here. Right now, my only hope is to get you out.”

Seeing Gu Tingyu’s expression, Yiyi gently leaned her head on his shoulder and said, ”I trust you. You will definitely be able to take all of us out.”

Seeing the little girl believe in him so much, the corners of Gu Tingyu’s mouth slightly lifted, and his previously gloomy mood improved a lot.

After talking for a while, Gu Tingyu stood up and said, ”I’m going outside again to scout the situation and find some food. We’ve been trapped here for two days, and we can’t go on like this; otherwise, we’ll all perish here.”

Hearing this, Yiyi also stood up and said, ”I’ll go with you.”

However, Gu Tingyu made Yiyi sit down, saying, ”You rest well, I’ll go alone.”

”I’ve already rested, and I’m not injured at all, so I won’t be a burden to you. There’s strength in numbers; I’ll go with you, and I can definitely be of some help.”

Seeing Yiyi say this, Gu Tingyu didn’t stop her anymore, ”Alright, you can go with me.”

Then he looked at Wei Zixiao and said, ”I leave this place to you; take good care of the others.”

”Don’t worry, I will take good care of them.”

Gu Tingyu nodded upon hearing this and gave a few more instructions before preparing to leave with Yiyi.

Before leaving, Yiyi specifically said a few words to Tao Cuizhu, ”Cui Zhu, we’ll be back soon. You’re safe with Tingyu’s team members, don’t worry.”

Tao Cuizhu hurriedly nodded and said, ”I know, you guys be careful too.”

”Okay.”

After finishing speaking, Yiyi went outside to scout with Gu Tingyu.

”Tingyu, go this way.”

Yiyi surveyed the surroundings and directly led Gu Tingyu down that hidden path. This was their only chance for escape, but they feared there would be too many people making the target too obvious.

Gu Tingyu followed behind Yiyi as she walked forward. As they gradually veered off the main path, he couldn’t help but ask, ”Where is this place?”

”We’ll know when we get to the end.”

Yiyi turned back to smile at him, then continued walking forward.

Their pace was quick, and soon they reached the exit.

Gu Tingyu was filled with surprise looking at the open ground in front of them, ”Are we... are we out?”

Yiyi smiled and nodded, ”Yes, we’re out. This path is very hidden and usually goes unnoticed.”

Gu Tingyu heard this, a faint joy appearing on his face, but soon he discovered a problem, ”Yiyi, have you been here before?” Otherwise how could you be so familiar with Medicine Valley.

Upon hearing Gu Tingyu’s words, Yiyi was momentarily stuck. She didn’t really know how to explain this, but soon she thought of a solution, ”I found this path when I secretly came to Medicine Valley. Back then, I used this path to go up and no one found me, so I thought it was safe.”

Gu Tingyu heard this and couldn’t help but laugh, ”You’re quite lucky to find such a hidden path on your first try; we’ll use this path to leave then.”

”Mm.”

Yiyi was relieved that Gu Tingyu didn’t suspect anything, and quickly added, ”When I was looking for where Cui Zhu was being held, I scouted many places. I remember there’s a small orchard. Even though the fruits aren’t very filling, it’s better than nothing. Let’s go there now.”

”Alright.”

Gu Tingyu followed Yiyi to the orchard, and they quickly began picking fruit. Yiyi had already informed Gu Tingyu about which fruits could be picked and which couldn’t.

This is Medicine Valley, so even the fruits here are specifically grown for their medicinal properties. Currently, there weren’t many ripe fruits, and even fewer that could be directly eaten. Only some lychees and plums were edible. The lychee seeds are a warm medicinal ingredient, used frequently, so it’s planted here. Now, they can eat a little.

After picking fruits, they quickly headed back to the basement.

But on the way back, they noticeably found there were more patrols. Fortunately, both Yiyi and Gu Tingyu had excellent skills and were not discovered, and they finally returned safely.

”Yiyi, you’re finally back.”

Tao Cuizhu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yiyi and the others return. She was truly worried they’d been captured.

Wei Zixiao saw the two returning and quickly asked a few questions. When he saw the lychees and plums, his eyes lit up, ”You really found food; that’s wonderful.” He hadn’t eaten anything for two days and felt like he could eat a whole cow now.

The other team members were also very happy, but everyone refrained from rushing. After dividing the food evenly, they began to eat ravenously.

However, Yiyi didn’t let Xiao Gao eat these, instead taking out two loaves of bread she had carried with her and handed them to him, saying, ”Your injuries are too severe; it’s not good to eat these. It’s better to have some bread.”

Initially, Xiao Gao kept refusing, but Yiyi was persistent, and he eventually accepted them.

After the group ate some food, they felt revived, and Gu Tingyu shared the plans for the next steps.

”Today, Yiyi and I were very lucky to find a hidden path, and we’ll use it to leave. But it’s too late today. Everyone should take a good rest tonight, and we’ll act tomorrow.”

”Okay.”

Upon hearing Gu Tingyu’s plan, everyone’s spirits were lifted, and smiles appeared on their faces, dispelling the earlier gloom.

Yiyi felt happy seeing this, but Tao Cuizhu sat on the side, somewhat hesitant. She glanced at Yiyi, and finally moved slowly to her side, quietly asking, ”Yiyi, will we be able to leave tomorrow?”

Yiyi, puzzled, glanced at Tao Cuizhu and asked, ”What’s wrong? Do you have anything else to do?”

”No, no.”

Tao Cuizhu quickly shook her head but eventually expressed her regret, ”I noticed the old man who captured us to experiment seemed to have a notebook containing many formulas. It would be great if we could get it.”
