Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Bow and Arrow in the Wildlife Park
At this point, Bai Youwei couldn’t help but laugh.
“I asked each of you to guard the four directions of the forest. No matter where Ye Chong and his men come from, at least one of you should spot them. Even if your vision is obscured by plants, you couldn’t have missed their footsteps, could you?”
Ya Chaohui frowned, “I didn’t hear anything.”
Asarina shook her head, “I didn’t hear anything either, the forest is too big.”
Along and Zhang Yu shook their heads as well.
Bai Youwei’s face remained calm as she said casually, “The traitor, of course, won’t expose themselves. I’m just curious, what’s their motive? Why would they help their enemy?”
Asarina narrowed her eyes, suspiciously looking at the others.
Having known Along for many years, she firmly believed it wasn’t him. Leaving only Ya Chaohui and Zhang Yu as potential traitors.
Zhang Yu hesitated, his gaze shifted to Ya Chaohui…
“Why are you all looking at me?” Ya Chaohui’s face turned grim. “You think I’m the traitor?!”
Asarina scoffed and said, “Isn’t it natural to suspect you? You’ve always been unhappy with the King, constantly raising objections. Out of all us, you’re the one who least wants the King to win!”
“You!” Ya Chaohui snapped, “These are totally unrelated!”
“Enough, no more quarreling.” Bai Youwei looked at the sky and said nonchalantly, “Regard the traitor, I may be overthinking it. I want to go check the trap before dark, I’m a little uneasy about the surprise attack from the White Glove. What if they target Shen Mo and Tan Xiao next…”
She glanced at Ya Chaohui and then Asarina. Her gaze lingered on them momentarily, finally resting on Asarina.
“Asarina, come with me.” Bai Youwei said.
Even though she said that she might be overthinking things, it seemed… she didn’t quite trust Ya Chaohui either.
Ya Chaohui frowned, “What about us?”
“You guys…” She paused, then continued, “Keep trailing them. Let me know if anything happens. But I think it should be fine… Ye Chong just made an attack, he wouldn’t make a second one so soon.”
After Bai Youwei finished speaking, she turned and headed in the direction where the trap was set.
Asarina promptly followed after her.
Ya Chaohui, Along, and Zhang Yu were left standing still in their places.
As he watched the two women move further away, Ya Chaohui felt suffocated. He glanced at the other two and grumbled, “Let’s go, keep trailing.”
Up front, Bai Youwei and Asarina continued walking.
Bai Youwei walked quite slow, her silence proposing that she was deep in thought.
Asarina looked back, her confusion towards Bai Youwei evident, “Is it really Ya Chaohui? Thinking he’s already lost, so he sided with White Glove? Or…did he deliberately want to take revenge on you?”
Staring straight ahead, Bai Youwei asked, “What do you think? Besides him, who else could it be?”
“It’s definitely not Along.” Asarina said categorically, “Along’s not that kind of person.”
Hearing her defend her friend, Bai Youwei couldn’t help but chuckle, “How about Zhang Yu? Is it possible?”
“He is someone brought in from the evaluation group, I am not familiar with him. Seems like he’s the rule-abiding type, but he could also be threatened by White Glove…” Asarina sighed, “Whoever it is, it’s really troublesome, equivalent to us short one person.”
Bai Youwei stopped in her tracks.
Asarina continued for a few more steps before noticing Bai Youwei had stopped. She turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Bai Youwei asked, “Asarina, do you know how to use a bow and arrow?”
“I do, but I haven’t used it for a long time…” Asarina responded, surprised by the sudden question, “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?”
Bai Youwei further asked, “If the distance is between twenty and thirty meters, are you sure you can hit a person?”
Asarina had a vague idea of what Bai Youwei was planning. She pondered before answering earnestly, “If you give me a bow now and let me practice a few times to familiarize myself, hitting a person shouldn’t be a problem.”
