Lin Qingtong stood up, smiled gently at him, and thanked him.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, sir, but I can't accept this key. I'd like to ask you to show me the way out or a shortcut up the mountain."

The old man stared at Lin Qingtong, then suddenly laughed out loud. He staggered to his feet, then turned around and lifted the bed board he was sitting on.

He looked so thin and small, and he even had a wheelchair at home, so he must have been disabled, but suddenly he stood up.

For some reason, Lin Qingtong wanted to reach out and help the other person.

She asked with concern, "Sir, are you alright?"

The old man waved his hand, refusing Lin Qingtong's approach.

"I'm dirty, so don't touch me. This is the road up the mountain, and there's a helicopter over there."

"You came to find me because you want to go up the mountain, right? Just go in."

He smiled, his eyes curving like beautiful crescent moons.

Lin Qingtong suddenly grabbed the other person's hand, "Why don't you leave with me?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then decisively refused.

"No, even though it's a flat road, you're a young lady and can't carry me, so I won't drag you down."

Lin Qingtong originally wanted to agree and escape from here as quickly as possible, but for some reason, a voice kept clamoring in her heart.

"Take him with you."

Lin Qingtong thought to herself that if she took Dongfang William's father away, and they happened to meet him on the mountaintop, she could use it to buy time.

That way, she can live a little longer.

In fact, she didn't agree with this idea herself; it was just a reason for herself to take him away.

Lin Qingtong acted quickly, throwing his wheelchair under the bed and then helping him inside.

The old man waved his hand with a hint of helplessness: "No, no, it will implicate you."

He was extremely anxious and wished Lin Qingtong would leave as soon as possible.

Lin Qingtong didn't care about anything else and helped him walk into the secret passage.

At the same time, she closed the bed board, barely covering the traces of their departure, which would at least buy them some more time.

She placed the old man in a wheelchair and then pushed him quickly through the dark passage.

Despite the darkness around her, Lin Qingtong reached the mountaintop as quickly as possible, guided by the old man.

She pushed open the door and saw the open space on the mountaintop where helicopters were parked, but there was no one there at all.

That's normal, because usually no one runs uphill instead of downhill, so if the helicopter isn't in use, no one stays here.

"Can you fly a helicopter?" the old man suddenly asked Lin Qingtong.

Lin Qingtong shook her head at the enormous thing and smiled helplessly.

"I can't fly a helicopter, but I can give it a try."

The old man rested his hand on the wheelchair, his eyes becoming much more determined.

"I can drive. You sit in the driver's seat, and I'll tell you. You at least know how to drive, right?"

Lin Qingtong nodded, and the two of them then boarded the helicopter.

After settling the old man in, she got into the driver's seat and looked at the dense array of switches in front of her, feeling her hands and feet go weak.

This is a helicopter. If she's not careful, she could crash and kill the old man in front of her, and they might not even be able to find their remains.

Although Lin Qingtong was nervous, she did not show any panic; on the contrary, she appeared very calm.

The old man sat beside her, behaving in the same manner, and smoothly gave Lin Qingtong instructions on what to do.

Lin Qingtong took a deep breath and was about to operate the device when Dongfang William jumped off the cable car and strode towards them.

With a loud roar, the helicopter's rotor blades spun wildly, whipping up a gust of wind.

William Dongfang's clothes were billowing and his hair was disheveled as he stared at Lin Qingtong in the driver's seat and shouted.

"Come down, I won't hurt you, come down quickly."

Lin Qingtong opened a crack in the window and answered Dongfang William.

"I don't believe you, you're a liar."

William from the East seemed very anxious, waving the white paper in his hand as he explained.

"Look carefully at what this is, it's a paternity test."

If Lin Qingtong is willing to come down, Dongfang William swears he will never do anything hateful to her again.

Lin Qingtong only heard the first half of the sentence and didn't hear the rest at all.

She closed the window, put on her special glasses, and made a cool gesture toward William in the east.

When William Dongfang appeared, Lin Qingtong became fearless and began to manipulate him boldly.

The helicopter roared into the sky and gradually disappeared into the distance in the direction of William and his group in the east.

Lin Qingtong glanced out the window and saw a look of melancholy and sadness on Dongfang William's face.

She was taken aback. Why did she feel sorry for William Dongfang?

But she quickly dismissed the thought.

Eastern William is the devil; that's a fact everyone knows.

If I don't escape, I'll eventually become fertilizer in that courtyard.

Lin Qingtong became even more determined to escape from this place.

The helicopter was being piloted fairly smoothly. The old man next to him used scissors to trim his beard, revealing a face with excellent bone structure.

It's just that she's so thin that you can't really tell what she originally looked like.

Lin Qingtong glanced at him and immediately felt that he did resemble Dongfang William somewhat.

"Sir, are you William Dongfang's father? What's your name?"

The old man stared at Lin Qingtong, then suddenly smiled and spoke.

“I am indeed his father, and my name is Dongfang Qingfeng.”

Lin Qingtong was taken aback. Was the name Qingfeng really that similar to someone else's?
