This chaos of pursuit and escape lasted for less than an hour.

When a guard came to the boat and reported to Ye Tianyang that all the escaped strange people had been captured, Gu Chan stood there numb.

"Damn! These bastards, they claim to be extraordinary people, but how come they are so useless that they were caught within two hours of escaping."

Gu Chan was so angry that she cursed in her heart.

She originally thought that this group of people could buy her some more time to escape, but judging from the current situation, she had indeed overestimated them.

Ye Tianyang glanced at Gu Chan and then asked, "Have they all been caught?"

"City Lord, there is only one person left who has not been captured. His physical ability is a bit problematic, but if we give him some more time, we should be able to capture him," said the guard.

"Okay, then you guys continue to arrest this guy, and I'll have a good chat with Manager Gu." Ye Tianyang said with a sneer.

The guard responded respectfully, jumped off the merchant ship, and continued to catch the man who was still at large.

Ye Tianyang walked up to Gu Chan and said, "Do you want me to take you to the dungeon to confront those who were captured?"

"No need, I was just joking with you! Why are you taking it so seriously? I admit it, I was the one who let them go. Don't try to catch the guy who escaped, just let him get away. Just do as I say, and you will definitely get unexpected gains." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"I won't trust you anymore. You are too cunning." Ye Tianyang said coldly.

Gu Chan spread her hands and said, "If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do."

"Come here, take Manager Gu and all the others off the boat and send them back to the City Lord's Mansion to rest." Ye Tianyang shouted angrily with a livid face.

Several guards immediately stepped forward and prepared to attack Cheng Hao and others.

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "Okay, we can leave on our own, why make such a big fuss?"

After saying that, she led Cheng Hao and others off the boat in a swagger and returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

On the way back, she was speechless, thinking that it would not be so easy to escape again in the future, and she would have to find another way.

Ye Tianyang led his men to follow behind them and deliberately gave an order, "Listen to me, everyone. From tonight onwards, no matter what happens in the City Lord's Mansion, you must protect the courtyard where Manager Gu and his men live. Don't let them escape easily again."

"Yes, City Lord." The guards responded in unison.

The ghost-bat beast laughed loudly and said, "You little brat, let's see how you can run away now. I'll teach you a lesson."

"Just wait for me, you damn bat. I will remember this grudge for you." Gu Chan glared at it angrily.

"It's up to you. I'm not afraid of you." The ghost bat beast said proudly.

Gu Chan glared at it fiercely, then shut her mouth tactfully.

Afterwards, she led her men back to the courtyard behind the City Lord's Mansion and was taken under the supervision of the guards.

Cheng Hao said helplessly, "Master, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Let's go to bed and talk about it tomorrow." Gu Chan said unhappily.

Everyone smiled bitterly at each other, and quietly returned to their rooms to rest.

The next afternoon.

Just when Gu Chan and others were imprisoned in the yard and were extremely unhappy, Ye Tianyang suddenly walked in from outside the yard.

Seeing Gu Chan sulking at the stone table, he walked over to her with a smile and sat down opposite her and said, "Why, you didn't run away last night, so you're in a bad mood today, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Why did you come to me? If you want to make fun of me, then forget it!" Gu Chan said unhappily.

"Hahaha……"

Ye Tianyang laughed happily. The more he saw Gu Chan's aggrieved look, the happier he was.

Gu Chan didn't bother to pay attention to him. She stood up and wanted to hide back in her room.

Ye Tianyang quickly reached out his hand to stop her, "Don't be anxious! I'm not here to laugh at you, I want to tell you two good news."

"What good news?" Gu Chan asked doubtfully.

"You hit the jackpot last night. I didn't catch that man, but I not only helped you kill those five, but the physical training master from Tiancang Country was also recruited by two of King Fan's men. Now he has followed those two men to see King Fan, and my people happened to be following them quietly. I believe that in a few days, I will know where King Fan is hiding." Ye Tianyang said with a wry smile.

He had just received the news early this morning. In fact, he had never thought that the loss caused by Gu Chan last night could bring him such an unexpected gain.

Gu Chan had a frozen face and couldn't be happy at all.

Ye Tianyang pulled her to sit down and said, "Cheer up! These are two pieces of good news! Why are you looking so sad?"

"I tell you, you can keep me, but you can't keep all these people under my command. They are innocent. If you really want me to stay here and help you honestly, then you should release all my people and send me a boatload of food so that they can transport it back to Tiancang Kingdom." Gu Chan said coldly.

Ye Tianyang was in a good mood and agreed without thinking, "Okay, it's just a shipload of food! It doesn't matter if I give it to you. I just want you to stay. As for your men, I don't care at all."

"It's settled then. Go and tell people to move food to fill up my Great China." Gu Chan said in a deep voice.

"Don't play tricks on me again, or I will beat you up together with Senior Ghost Bat Beast." Ye Tianyang threatened with a wicked smile.

Gu Chan stuck out her tongue at him, then stood up angrily and went back to her room.

Ye Tianyang left with a big laugh and ordered people to move the food to the Great China.

In the afternoon, a ship was loaded with grain. Gu Chan led Cheng Hao and others to the dock of the City Lord's Mansion.

Gu Chan stared at everyone and said, "Listen, you must deliver this ship of food to the Lord's Mansion in Jiangnan City safely. If you can save as many civilians as possible, it will count. Otherwise, when I return, you will all be punished."

"Yes, master." Everyone knelt on the ground and responded in unison.

Then everyone stood up, said goodbye to Gu Chan reluctantly, and then got on the boat and left.

When Da Hua Xia left the dock and was getting farther and farther away from Gu Chan, everyone on the boat shed tears of reluctance, simply because they all knew that all this was earned by Gu Chan with her own life, and she had paid too much for the disaster-stricken people in the Jiangnan area.

A good lord like this is totally worthy of their lifelong loyalty!

When Gu Chan saw that everyone had left safely, her heart, which had been hanging in her chest, finally settled down completely.

After that, she said nothing and silently followed the guards who were guarding her back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Three nights later.

He followed the guard under King Fan and finally returned safely to the City Lord's Mansion, and reported King Fan's hiding place to Ye Tianyang.

After Ye Tianyang learned about this situation, without any hesitation, he immediately sent someone to invite Gu Chan to the study to discuss the matter.
