Chapter 142 Caught!

The escape went so smoothly that it aroused her suspicion.

How strange! The female lead is not like that at all. She always crawls through the dog hole because she's afraid the servants will stop her, but none of her own servants stop her!

Lin Yiluo had just come downstairs and before she could hide, she saw the maids cleaning.

"Hello, Miss."

"Uh-huh."

Before they had taken two steps, they ran into the servant again.

"Hello, Miss."

"Uh-huh."

She hesitated. Should she still crawl through the dog hole? Oh well, she'd better go and see if there was a dog hole!

"Garden, garden," she murmured to herself as she walked toward the garden. Suddenly, she remembered the most important thing: to avoid being monitored.

The girl looked around; there were surveillance cameras everywhere. It seemed there was no way to hide. Although they were practically useless, Ilo still tried her best to avoid them.

She quickly found a hole surrounded by weeds, which looked quite desolate.

"Miss, what are you doing there?"

When Lin Yiluo heard someone calling her, she trembled twice in fear.

Turning my head, I saw the gardener pruning the branches.

"I'll take a walk around here."

"Okay, then be careful, Miss. I'm nearby. Call me if anything happens, and I'll come to your aid."

"Okay, is this a dog hole?"

She pointed to the hole in the corner of the wall.

"It is indeed a dog hole, Miss. This dog hole hasn't been patched up yet."

"Okay, I understand."

Yay! The first step of her escape plan, finding a dog hole, she's done it, hehe. But the gardener is still here, how can she get out? It seems a bit embarrassing to do it in front of the gardener.

Never mind, she'll go for a walk around the neighborhood. She can't let the gardener suspect she's trying to run away. She'll come back after the gardener leaves.

Lin Yiluo was hiding and wandering around the area when Zhao Ming spotted her from above.

Mo Ziyuan: "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Ming immediately came to his senses.

"Young Master, I just saw Miss. She seems to be hiding from someone."

"Miss?"

Mo Ziyuan immediately stood up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking down, I really saw the little girl.

Lin Yiluo, dressed in a white nightgown, kept glancing furtively in the direction of the surveillance camera.

Zhao Ming wanted to chat with his young master for a bit, but when he turned around, he saw his young master's icy face. His young master was angry!

Mo Ziyuan immediately left the study.

……………

Lin Yiluo only started walking towards the dog hole after the gardener had left.

She compared the size of the dog hole to the actual size; she could easily squeeze through. There were a lot of weeds around it, but she could bear with it.

The little girl wasn't planning to crawl over; she intended to squat down and slowly move over.

The journey there was long, and she had to be extremely careful, because she might accidentally lean back and end up sitting on the ground.

Having finally moved over, and before she could even catch her breath, she saw a pair of black leather shoes. The girl slowly raised her head and saw the man's gloomy face.

With a "plop," she squatted down on the ground.

"Brother Ziyuan, you've found out."

Looking at the scene before him, Zhao Ming finally understood that the young lady was trying to escape. But why would she want to escape? If she wanted to leave, she could just go out the main gate.

The girl looked up at him with her clear, innocent almond-shaped eyes, captivating him without realizing it.

Mo Ziyuan was very angry, but he didn't want to argue with her here, so he simply bent down and picked the girl up.

Lin Yiluo, with her arms around his neck, was still asking him.

"Brother Ziyuan, where are we going?"

"Shut up!"

This sentence frightened Lin Yiluo so much that she dared not utter a sound.

Once they reached the basement, Mo Ziyuan locked the door, and Lin Yiluo, watching him, dared not make any rash moves.

The man walked right over and started helping her pull up her clothes.

"No, no."

Mo Ziyuan stopped what he was doing, then pinched the girl's cheek and said.

"It's filthy."

The little girl looked down at herself and saw that she was indeed a bit dirty; her white nightgown was now somewhat dusty.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the man quickened his movements.

Then they threw her into the bathroom.

"Wash yourself first."

Water gushed down his neck, but Mo Ziyuan left the room without even glancing at it.

After leaving, he made sure to lock the door. He needed to go back to his room, take a shower, and apply the medicine one last time, just in case.

After taking a shower and applying the medicine, he came downstairs wearing his bathrobe again.

The little girl inside was still taking a bath. Lin Yiluo was deliberately slow; she was a little scared. She must have failed to escape now. She wondered if the heroines in novels ever failed to escape.

Mo Ziyuan glanced at the novel she was reading and picked it up to read. After a few pages, he finally understood why Lin Yiluo had run away. It turned out she had learned it all from this novel.

He continued reading, and saw that the female lead had failed to escape and was then locked up by the male lead. It began... well, it seemed his darling hadn't seen this part, but he would make sure his darling saw it.

He tossed the novel aside and went into the bathroom.

The bathroom door was suddenly opened, startling Lin Yiluo.

…………

Lin Yilu struggled somewhat uncontrollably, but this was quickly met with a new round of attacks.

The man's large, bony hand lifted her chin, making her look in the mirror.

"Are you still moving around?"

Mo Ziyuan looked down at her.

"You're tired, aren't you? You don't want to continue, right?"

His voice was gentle, as if he were coaxing her.

Lin Yiluo stared blankly at him, then almost swayed by his words and nodded.
