Chapter 1252 The Returnee's Notes 326
The warm sunlight filtered through the shadows of the mountains and quietly fell on this lonely little courtyard. The barking of the dogs had been silent for a while, and the people in the courtyard looked outside with pale faces and some worry.
"Won't something bad happen?"
Xue Li has been here for a week and has been restless the whole time.
He came with Chen Qi. Their friendship was superficial, but even superficial is better than that of strangers. Not to mention, they had some open dealings, so they both had something on each other.
And having known each other for so long, there must be some affection between us.
Because of the previous failure, Chen Qi did not obtain the medicine. Later, he could not even find Xie Ning, let alone persuade him. Moreover, not only him, but even the Wangjiang Group could not find Xie Ning.
Afterwards, Chen Qi's condition worsened, and there was no time to wait any longer. Just as he was getting anxious, people from the Wangjiang Group, which is also known as Yuemen, threw him a lifeline.
Yuemen said they had a way to save Chen Qi.
When people are at their wits' end, they have no choice at all.
Chen Qi didn't want his family to know what he was doing, but he didn't have any friends, so he had to ask Xue Li, with whom he had a slight connection, to come here for treatment.
Xue Li still doesn't know how the disease is specifically treated, but he has felt unwell ever since he arrived here, especially after not seeing Chen Qi for three days, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He wasn't a good person, but he was also afraid that bad things would happen to him.
Although he still cherished a little bit of friendship with Chen Qi, he had already decided to find an excuse to run away.
If all else fails, we can go out and call the police, and see if they can find Chen Qi.
Beside Xue Li was a slightly hunchbacked old man with long, gray hair braided into a plait hanging down his back.
Sensing the fear in Xue Li's voice, she merely glanced at him indifferently and said, "With Xiao Dan here, there's nothing to worry about."
After saying that, she shifted her gaze to the doorway, "Xiao Shuang, the sun is up!"
"They're here."
Xiao Shuang came in carrying a large bag and a broken drone, and she was also holding a shotgun.
She was the one who shot down Xie Ning's drone just now.
"Grandpa, this is very good."
She had never seen such a good drone on the market before and wanted to study it.
Old Yue noticed Xiao Shuang's interest and pointed to the cloth bag, saying, "Finish the work first."
"Um."
Xue Li watched the two go down to the basement, but had no desire to follow them. After all, there was more than just an old man and two teenagers in the courtyard.
But if I can't get in, I should be able to get out, right?
Xue Li tried to walk out, but only saw two people guarding the gate doing woodwork. The wall was too high for him to climb over.
As soon as he reached the door, the two men who were doing carpentry looked up. After Xue Li took another step toward the door, one of them stood up and said, "Mr. Xue, it's dangerous outside. You'd better not go out for now."
The tone was dry and emotionless. Xue Li paused, turned his head to meet the man's eyes, and said, "I have urgent business and need to leave here."
The man remained silent, only gesturing for Xue Li to look upstairs.
A dark gun barrel was pointed directly at him.
Xue Li walked back stiffly, his face expressionless, but inwardly he was cursing, cursing the old man, then Chen Qi, and finally himself.
He shouldn't have been so foolish as to accompany Chen Qi on this trip.
The courtyard is not only tightly enclosed, but also equipped with surveillance cameras. Even if you have superhuman abilities and can climb over the wall, you still can't escape.
Xue Li was unaware that the person sitting in the monitoring room was staring blankly at the static screen. How could the monitors have broken down after just a moment of distraction?
By the time he sent someone to check the situation, Xie Ning had already climbed over the wall and come in.
Wang Ze was hiding in a blind spot outside, waiting for Xie Ning's news. He couldn't possibly climb over such a high wall, but Xie Ning jumped over it in one leap. He didn't know how she did it, how anyone could jump so high!
And she's even wearing a cat on her head!
Black Egg, like Wang Ze, couldn't jump up, but jumping off such a high wall was no problem for it. So, after Xie Ning climbed the wall, it landed lightly first.
