After losing her memory, Mo Xiaotuo enters a flash marriage to continue managing her property but mistakenly marries Luo Chen instead. They agree to divorce after one year. Not long after the weddi...
Clang!
The monkey grabbed a bottle from the table and smashed it down on the back of Chen Luyao's head, causing her to fall to the ground with a dull thud.
Mo Xiaotuo was a little confused as to why the drug had worn off so quickly, even though she had given it to the woman. Since that was the case, she couldn't let her guard down. She found a rope nearby, tied the woman up, and stuffed a rag into her mouth.
"Why not just kill her?" Luo Chen asked, puzzled.
"Perhaps it might still be useful." Mo Xiaotuo said, glancing around before turning to her excited grandmother. "Grandma, surely he's not the only one here?"
“This is an abandoned laboratory, usually no one's here. I guess he came to get something. Come on, what we need is here. Let's find it first, then we can go over there to rescue your grandfather and the others.” Nangong Yunni was very familiar with this place and knew that the other base wasn't here.
Mo Xiaotuo nodded and let Xiong Hu carry Brother Min on his back and continue walking forward.
Nangong Yunni led the way, passing two laboratories and arriving at a warehouse. The warehouse was large, and inside they found an old, abandoned safe, which looked like it had been discarded among a pile of junk.
"Xiao Tuo, come here!" she called Xiao Tuo to her side.
Mo Xiaotuo noticed that the safe had a combination lock, and there was also a keyhole on the combination lock, so it should be a double-secured safe.
Although she didn't know what was inside, she was certain it was very important to her grandmother. However, no one would have imagined that something so important would be kept in an abandoned safe.
She closed her eyes, thought about the password she had seen before, entered the password, and then inserted the key.
Click!
After a dull thud, the safe opened, revealing a black box inside.
Nangong Yunni excitedly took out the black box, and inside was a transparent glass bottle containing a green liquid.
"This is it, this is Zhiyan's antidote. Your grandfather told me this before he disappeared. Actually, they had already developed the antidote, but he was being watched when he tried to escape, so they put it here. This base is the oldest; your grandfather and master should have been captured and taken to the new base." She said excitedly, looking at the bottle of medicine. This was something that could save Zhiyan's life.
Mo Xiaotuo took the box, carefully closed the lid, put it in her backpack, and pulled her grandmother to stand up: "Let's go find Grandpa and Master first, we'll talk about the rest later."
“No, we don’t have enough people. Let’s drag Chen Dongqi’s body out first, and clean up everything. Someone might come here at any time. We can only start when our reinforcements arrive. If we’re going to act, we have to do it right the first time, otherwise…” Nangong Yunni knew they only had one chance.
Seeing her grandmother's somber expression, Mo Xiaotuo turned around and told everyone to clean up the bloodstains on the ground. Together, they carried the body and Chen Luyao out.
They acted swiftly, leaving the base together a little over an hour later, erasing all traces of their arrival. Luo Chen checked the inside; although there were cameras, their circuitry had long since failed. Aside from the lights and doors, the remote controls in many places were malfunctioning.
It was already daylight when they left the old base. In order not to expose the place, they found a place to bury the body and deliberately walked a long way before finding a place to stop and rest around noon.
Min Ji-hyun had been unconscious since then, and after the tent was set up, she was taken inside.
Seeing that Xiao Tuo had given Min Zhixian a detoxifying pill, but the effect was not obvious, Nangong Yunni decided to go to the nearby area to dig for medicinal herbs.
"Grandma, Mom, you can wait here. I'll go dig for herbs." Mo Xiaotuo knew that the poison in Brother Min's body couldn't be delayed and that an antidote had to be found as soon as possible.
"I'll go with you!" Luo Chen said.
Mo Xiaotuo shook her head, worried that if they were ambushed, Monkey and Bear Tiger wouldn't be a match for those people. After all, her grandmother was old, and her mother wasn't particularly skilled in combat.
Seeing that the little wildcat disagreed, Luo Chen did not force her, but simply told her, "Be careful."
Mo Xiaotuo nodded in agreement. There were many good things in these mountains, and the antidote on Min Zhixian wouldn't be hard to find. She found the necessary herbs in less than an hour. She was about to hurry back when she noticed someone not far away.
"Hurry up, don't try anything funny!" A young man pointed a gun at an old man not far away.
The old man was chained on his hands and feet, which made his movements slow and caused him to be somewhat hunched over. Dragging the heavy chains, he tried to quicken his pace as he walked into the woods.
Mo Xiaotuo followed and, upon closer inspection, discovered that the person was actually his master, who had been missing for many years.
Those damn bastards!
She clenched her fists, made sure no one was following her, and waited for the man to be distracted before suddenly lunging at him and killing him with a dagger.
"Little Tuo, it's you, Little Tuo." Napo never expected to see his beloved apprentice again in his lifetime, and he cried so hard that his body trembled.
“Master, now is not the time to be sad. We have obtained the antidote for Zhiyan. Let me unlock the chains for you first. Who else is inside? We need to rescue them all.” Mo Xiaotuo said as he used something to unlock the chains.
Napo tried to calm down, glanced at the assassin who had been killed beside him, and asked, "Do you have any other helpers? Have someone disguise themselves as this bodyguard and come in with me. There aren't many guards inside, but there are surveillance cameras. We'll have to deal with the surveillance cameras inside if we want to get in."
Mo Xiaotuo nodded after listening, quickly unlocked the chains, carried the corpse on his back, and led his master back to their camp.
Nangong Yunni was heartbroken to see her senior brother, and could only shed tears and couldn't say a word.
"Grandma, now is not the time to be sad. Leave Brother Min to you. Luo Chen and I will go rescue Grandpa and the others." Mo Xiaotuo comforted her grandmother and handed the man over to Xiong Wu and Monkey.
"No, it's too dangerous." Nangong Yunni shook her head worriedly.
Napo then spoke up from the side: "Their people went out to transport supplies a few days ago. If they come back, there will be even less of a chance. We don't need so many people. Besides Xiao Tuo, who among you is a hacker? Come with me."
"I'll go!" Luo Chen said decisively.
Napo looked at Luo Chen, and Nangong Yunni explained from the side, "This is my granddaughter's husband."
"Then let's not waste any more time and get going. We can't stay out for too long. Take off your clothes and change quickly." As soon as Napo heard that it was Xiao Tuo's man, he gave the order directly.
Although Luo Chen disliked the clothes on the corpse, he had no choice but to wear them in order to save the person.
Mo Xiaotuo took something out of his backpack and fiddled with it for about twenty minutes, until a skin-like object was placed over Luo Chen's face. Luo Chen turned around, startling Xiong Wu and the monkey.
