Chapter 354 Escape
Seeing that the two were arguing, Xia Yue had no choice but to step in and mediate, saying, "We're talking about serious matters. You two stop bickering. If this continues, I'd rather take matters into my own hands."
"No, Yueyue, your belly is so big now, you need to rest properly!" Shen Xiangxiang quickly advised.
She only regretted that she was too weak to be of any help and would only be a hindrance.
Otherwise, she would rather go and save her brother and lover herself.
Seeing this, Qu Wanwan wisely shut up.
Ten days passed quickly.
Xia Yue's belly was already not much different from that of an eight-month pregnant woman in the outside world.
This was the day Gu Chen left the Drug base.
It was also the day that Xia Yue and the others had arranged to carry out their "switcheroo".
The group agreed not to reveal the operation to anyone until it was successful.
Qu Wanwan and An Sen were in charge of the operation, while Xia Yue and Shen Xiangxiang waited at the villa.
However, if the plan fails and the person hasn't returned by nightfall, Xia Yue and Qu Wanwan must leave immediately and go to the island lord's mansion to seek help from Qin Yeting.
Time passed slowly, and Shen Xiangxiang grew increasingly anxious.
Xia Yue was also worried, but in order to prevent this anxiety from spreading, she appeared very calm, as if she had everything under control.
It was this composure that slightly reduced Shen Xiangxiang's anxiety.
Even so, she kept asking, "Yueyue, will this plan succeed?"
"Yes, don't worry."
"But what if we fail?"
"It won't fail. Don't forget, I've never had a failed case when I was practicing medicine and saving lives. This time will be the same."
“But this time it’s not about practicing medicine and saving lives…” Shen Xiangxiang got stuck on this point.
Xia Yue sighed softly. If it weren't for the fact that they had known each other for years and were best friends, she would have given Shen Xiangxiang a generous gift of sleeping potion to put her to sleep.
"No, Yueyue, just knock me out and let me sleep. When I wake up, I'll see my brother and Shang Zexi, okay?" Shen Xiangxiang pleaded for the medicine.
She was afraid that if she continued like this, she would develop a heart attack from anxiety.
Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative, Xia Yue did not stand on ceremony.
"Alright, I'll let you take a nap."
But just as she was about to take action, Shen Xiangxiang stopped her again, "No, I can't sleep."
Xia Yue, “…” She didn’t want to use a sleeping potion, it would be like poisoning her.
What a terrible friend!
"You're pregnant now, I have to take care of you. How can I take care of you if I faint?" Shen Xiangxiang remembered her important business.
She was there to take care of Xia Yue, not to cause trouble.
Xia Yue twitched her lips speechlessly.
It's rare that someone is aware of their mission.
"From now on, the best thing you can do for me is to stay quiet and stay put," Xia Yue said irritably.
“Okay!” Shen Xiangxiang agreed loudly.
She sat opposite Xia Yue, stopped nagging, but started shaking her leg.
The ground was shaking so badly that Xia Yue, sitting opposite him, could feel it.
Xia Yue, “…” Never mind, she’ll just use the sleeping potion.
Of course, this was just Xia Yue's internal monologue.
Xia Yue would not drug Shen Xiangxiang without her friend's permission.
Two hours had passed, and the sun had sunk far to the west.
Xia Yue, who had been pretending to be calm, was actually sweating profusely.
She was also worried about whether the mission would succeed.
Just then, the sound of flapping wings came from the window; a homing pigeon had landed on the window frame.
Wireless communication is not possible on Broken Soul Island, so the fastest way to send messages is by carrier pigeon.
Upon seeing this, Shen Xiangxiang immediately went to the window and took the note off the pigeon's leg.
There were only two words on it—Run!
The words were written in red blood, which shows how urgent the situation was.
Shen Xiangxiang turned pale and immediately handed the note to Xia Yue.
"Yueyue, what should we do now? Has the mission failed? Will my brother and Shang Zexi be in trouble? I—I—" Shen Xiangxiang stammered, then plopped down on the ground.
Xia Yue was equally worried, but she forced herself to analyze the situation calmly.
"No, this letter might not have been sent by them. If there were really a problem, Gu Chen's men would be faster than carrier pigeons and would have already rushed in and surrounded us."
Don't forget, those people outside are also Gu Chen's people.
Moreover, we only agreed on a time with Anson; we never mentioned using carrier pigeons.
"Yes, you're right, it was just an accident." Shen Xiangxiang also hoped that it was all a lie.
She snapped at the carrier pigeons on the windowsill, "It's all your fault! You must have delivered them to the wrong place!"
The pigeons were startled by Shen Xiangxiang's shout and flew away on the spot.
Xia Yue continued reading the note written in blood.
The handwriting was crooked and illegible, written with blood from biting a finger, so the handwriting was not visible.
If this wasn't for them, then who was it for?
Xia Yue thought of the person living next door!
She went to the window and saw that the carrier pigeon from before had landed on the roof of the neighboring house.
The villa next door is only five meters away from this one.
It seems quite normal for carrier pigeons to make mistakes.
Xia Yue twitched her lips, somewhat speechless.
Shen Xiangxiang relaxed, but she still couldn't help but curse at the pigeons on the roof next door, "Stinky pigeons, rotten pigeons, bad pigeons!"
"Alright, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear us." Xia Yue gestured for Shen Xiangxiang to be quiet.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than a window opened in the villa across the street, and a man wearing a black mask stood there, asking in a cold voice, "Pigeons? What pigeons?"
