Qiao Zhen scoffed dismissively, noticing Chu Zhao's thin frame and the muscles in his abdomen.

Chu Zhao also noticed that Qiao Zhen was looking at his body, so he tried to cover it up by tugging at the white towel on his shoulder.

"I'm not going to look anymore." Qiao Zhen closed the bathroom door and then unplugged her fully charged phone. After turning it on, she thought of calling her adoptive father, but she couldn't get through after several attempts. When she looked at her phone more closely, she saw that there was no signal at all.

Qiao Zhen's expression was somewhat solemn. Her right eyelid was also twitching incessantly. She still somewhat believed in the saying that a twitching left eyelid meant good fortune and a twitching right eyelid meant bad luck, since it was accurate two or three times out of ten.

As for Chu Zhao, it is better to kill a thousand innocent people than to let go of one person, thing, or event that might harm him.

Chu Zhao, still rubbing his stomach in frustration, was somewhat dejected. He figured his weak physique was definitely not going to pique Qiao Zhen's interest; he should have exercised every day. He muttered to himself as he turned on the showerhead.

Chu Zhao was relaxing in the bathroom.

Qiao Zhen was busy packing her things in the house, her feet barely touching the ground. She had to get Chu Zhao away from here as soon as possible. Gu Chen was like a ticking time bomb, and she didn't know when he would blow Chu Zhao up and leave her battered and bruised.

[Chu Chu, is Chu Zhao still on the verge of collapse?]

[Report! No, his feelings are a bit complicated right now, I can't figure it out.]

Can you detect anything about Gu Chen?

[Report! No! Gu Chen is the designated target of the mission, so only someone more capable than the target can detect his activities.]

Qiao Zhen stopped relying on Chu Chu, but she also knew that the difficulty of the mission was in the hands of the mission's target. She was neutral about the mission itself, but she was genuinely terrified of this incompetent teammate.

If Chu Zhao hadn't caused trouble by hiding their ID cards, they would already be in Kyoto by now. Why would they be living in fear in a foreign land?

"We met again at the bottom of a dried-up well, a scar on my palm..."

Qiao Zhen quickly answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Zhenzhen, is that Dad? Was your phone out of battery just now?"

"There is no signal. The other party is Gu Chen, the youngest son of the Gu family in Kyoto. I don't know how long the signal will last."

"Take Chu Zhao and run! Don't worry about anything else, understand?"

"I understand." Qiao Zhen subconsciously glanced at the phone in her hand. Her father had just reminded her that her phone might have a location tracking feature.

Her only contact with Gu Chen via mobile phone was the last time they were halfway up the mountain. At that time, her phone couldn't last for a game of Honor of Kings, so she borrowed Gu Chen's phone. Gu Chen also used her phone, but she didn't pay attention to it. Now that she thinks about it, she has to take it seriously.

Chu Zhao emerged from the bathroom with water dripping from his hair. He looked at the bulging suitcase with a puzzled expression. "Are we going to run away?"

Qiao Zhen looked at him seriously, "Chu Zhao, we may need to leave. Do you dare to escape with me?"

"I dare." Chu Zhao seemed to have used up all his courage. He was the only son in his family and his life had always been smooth sailing. Even after he became a punk rocker, he still lived a very proper life. Now, encountering the word "escape" for the first time, he felt a sense of novelty.

Qiao Zhen felt that his words were enough, but her teammate was really too unreliable, and she was inexplicably hesitant. "Are you sure that if I run away, you won't reveal my whereabouts to Gu Chen?"

Chu Zhao was somewhat indignant, "I'm sure not!"

Qiao Zhen tiptoed and then lightly lifted Chu Zhao's delicate chin with her finger. "Have you heard the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf', young man?"

Chu Zhao looked somewhat embarrassed, his gaze shifting slightly. "I just hadn't thought it through before." He then looked at Qiao Zhen with unwavering determination, his eyes sparkling. "Not anymore!"

Qiao Zhen wasn't really trying to make things difficult for him, but she still needed to give him a warning, after all, things shouldn't happen more than three times. "Alright, we'll climb down through the back window in a bit. This time, just bring your ID card and bank card. I'll go down first. If there are people down there, I can take care of them. This is the second floor, so even if you jump, you won't die. Don't be scared, okay, young man?"

Chu Zhao nodded solemnly, "Yes."

"Then you should change your clothes first, and I'll go lock the door."

After giving her instructions, Qiao Zhen climbed down the water pipe outside the window. She carefully listened to the sounds around her and could clearly hear several different breathing patterns. Her hearing was extremely sensitive because of her martial arts skills.

After changing his clothes, Chu Zhao peeked at Qiao Zhen. He saw that Qiao Zhen was making very little noise, and he assumed that Qiao Zhen wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him. In a panic and anger, he shouted, "You heartless woman!"

Qiao Zhen, who was not holding her forehead, was full of black lines. She grimaced to express her inner "fuck". She simply let go and fell directly to the ground, and several burly men gathered around her.

Without saying a word, Qiao Zhen started fighting. After all, the one who starts first has the advantage, and the burly men's teamwork wasn't perfect, so she could always find a loophole. Even so, it still took her a lot of effort to bring down five or six burly men.

She looked up at Chu Zhao, "Jump!"

Chu Zhao jumped down without hesitation.

Qiao Zhen is now very glad that when she wanted to beat up Chu Zhao, she went to the army to integrate her martial arts with this body. She is also glad that she endured two months of hardship to improve her physical fitness. Otherwise, her two small arms would have been crushed by Chu Zhao!

"What are you standing there for? Get up and run!"
