Avenge For Love novel Chapter 76

Sizheng had never rode a horse before so he was smiling widely and looking down at the ground.

"Hold on tight." She moved his hands to wrap around General Tang's waist. Once he was sure everything was set, General Tang turned the horse around and began riding away.

"Stop going so fast! Don't you see there's a child riding?" Wu Xingxie harshly chided the general as they passed through the bustling streets. Multiple people stopped what they were doing to have a look but General Tang's speed was so fast, they couldn't get a glimpse of his face.

Since it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, lines of booths were set up, people were everywhere enjoying themselves.

After about twenty minutes of riding, General Tang stopped at a small restaurant. It wasn't so busy compared to the booths set up but it was great for those who wanted a quiet place to eat.

"Get off." General Tang told the two behind him. Wu Xingxie elegantly jumped off the horse before opening her arms out.

"Here, I'll catch you." Wu Xingxie beamed as Sizheng readied himself. He lightly gave his body a push, and Wu Xingxie caught him, arms under his armpit.

The general got off and led his horse to a place where he could tie the horse so it wouldn't go anywhere. After doing so, he gestured for the two to follow him.

"I've never been here." Wu Xingxie looked around the restaurant. It was small, but had around 7 to 8 tables for customers. At the moment, only 3 were occupied so General Tang told the waiter that they would take the one near a window.

"Sir, right this way with your wife and son." The waiter directed politely since he misunderstood that the three were a family.

Sizheng snickered at the waiter before following Wu Xingxie to the table. General Tang wanted to correct the waiter but seeing how people were looking at them, he refrained from doing so.

"Pick what you want to eat. The meal's on me." General Tang told as he handed them the menu.

Wu Xingxie took it and as she looked through the list, she asked,

"Why did you choose this place?"

General Tang stared at her for a few moments before he told her about why this place meant so much to him.

This restaurant was where he met Prime Minister Gu just at 10 years old. That day, he had been starving for days without food or water so he came here to beg for food.

He had no money as he grew up alone, without parents or any guardian. General Tang didn't know why, but he had no memories of his childhood of when he was 7 or before that. All he knew was that he had to survive. He survived by searching for food in the woods, but he would often be frightened when he heard scary stories from other people about the places.

The day he met Prime Minister Gu, he was sickly thin, his ribs showed through his skin and his hair was brittle from not bathing for so long. When the people saw him, they were very disgusted by him but a man came up to him.

Bao Ling returned to his working chambers to retrieve something he needed to go out, wondering how odd the whole situation was.

After all, if he was alive, why hasn't he returned to where his wife and soon to be born child were waiting?

While everyone else was out enjoying the festival, the Demon King was trying to confirm the veracity of his current findings.

A few days earlier, one of his most trusted men sent a letter claiming that he sensed the Prime Minister's spiritual energy but it was so quick that the servant thought he was hallucinating.

Only when it happened a few more times did the servant realize that the Prime Minister was alive somewhere. He searched the areas for anyone, but he simply could not find the man.

Although Bao Ling didn't know his grand uncle-in-law on a personal level, he still knew how much his grand aunt valued her husband.

It was his duty to uncover the truth and save Prime Minister Gu so that Madam Gu wouldn't have to continue an endless revenge.

"If Grand Uncle Gu is alive, then there's no need for revenge." Bao Ling stated to himself before picking up his most hideous mask.

Covering his face with the mask, he secured the strings before teleporting out of the building. Since the Bao estate was far from where most of the people lived, he and his men would either meet inside the forest or the manor.
