Chapter 83 Escape on a Snowy Night



Gu Hui's call still had some impact on Qi Nuan.

She never thought that she would become such a greedy person.

Just as Gu Hui said, the starting point is different, and the heights that can be reached in life will also be very different.

These shares are not a small amount after conversion.

With money, she can do many things that she couldn't think of before, and provide better living conditions for her sister, nephew and grandmother.

The elite education I received in those years can also have greater room for display.

After all, if conditions permit, who doesn’t want to achieve success in their career?

Compared to improving her life by marrying into a wealthy family or rising to prominence by becoming a wealthy family herself, she would rather choose the latter.

However, Gu Tingze's will also stated that if Qi Meng failed to inherit these shares within a year, they would be donated to society as public welfare.

Now, two seasons have passed since his death. The remaining time is neither short nor long.

Qi Nuan and Qi Meng discussed a plan to exchange money and live abroad, but due to Lu Yin's obstruction, it probably couldn't be realized smoothly.

However, when he decided to break the terms of the contract, didn't he think that she would turn against him because of it?

Or does it mean that he doesn't care even if she withdraws from his support group?

Qi Nuan couldn't tell what this man was thinking.

But now that she has these shares in her arms and cannot sell them, they are like chicken ribs and have no value at all.

If she had known this, she might as well have made a deal with Gu Hui from the beginning.

Special Assistant Zhao, who is loyal and highly skilled in combat, dutifully and responsibly sends Qi Nuan to the "safe place" designated by his boss.

One morning after a heavy snowfall, he drove away quietly and alone.

After only two or three hours of sleep, Qi Nuan woke up from an uneasy nightmare. He went out and looked at the white mountains outside the house with a confused look on his face.

Although she knew that this was Lu Yin's villa in the remote mountainous area, she had never imagined that it would be such a remote "deep mountain forest".

Apart from this villa, all you can see around the house are old pine forests and mountains.

The house is fully stocked with supplies and daily necessities.

After taking a shower, Qi Nuan changed into clean new clothes that fit her perfectly and were exactly her size.

This damn man is so well prepared. Could it be that he has been planning to lock her up for a long time?

Could it be that he wanted to lock her up for half a year, and only set her free after his battle was over or the inheritance of shares became invalid?

Could it be that Lu Yin is wary of her having a large amount of wealth in her hands, fearing that she would have bargaining chips to exchange and thus be able to climb higher independently and gain more autonomy?

It should have been a good place to cultivate one's body and mind, but Qi Nuan was alone with nothing to do and had a lot of time, so he had to think about it a lot.

Not only did her anger not subside, but her resentment towards Lu Yin for not being able to express it only grew.

No matter how angry she was, she could do nothing about it since she couldn't even see anyone at the moment.

During this week, she had thought about running back to the city on her own.

But among the "thoughtful" items in this house, the only thing missing is outdoor supplies suitable for snow and mountains.

The next day, when Qi Nuan tried to hike along the mountain road, he slipped into a tree hole on the side of the road not long after he got there.

I scraped my hands and bruised my legs, and they still hurt even after several days.

There was no signal on her cell phone and she couldn't make any calls. She didn't know the situation around her and was completely afraid to act alone.

She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would freeze to death in the snow and no one would know.

The day after Qi Nuan came back from her fall, a middle-aged man who claimed to be looking after Mr. Lu's mountain villa came to visit her, Mrs. Lu, and then stayed in a security room outside the villa, waiting for orders.

Although his attitude was respectful, Qi Nuan knew that this person was following Boss Lu's orders to watch over her.

Ever since Qi Nuan complained to Assistant Zhao, who always treated her wounds, that he was bored, the gatekeeper would chat with her for a while every day.

Qi Nuan didn't refuse either.

She inquired intentionally or unintentionally and soon found out that the security room was not as comfortable as the villa where she lived, and most of the good things for food, clothing and daily necessities were for her alone.

So, she would occasionally take out some food and drinks to express her goodwill to the gatekeeper.

Of course, it was not to highlight how kind she was, but mainly to get more information from him about her escape and to relax his vigilance in monitoring her.

The same was true for dinner tonight. Qi Nuan specially shared some of the excellent steak and red wine that Special Assistant Zhao had sent the day before with the gatekeeper.

At this moment, the sun was setting. She looked at the drunken figure staggering in the window of the security room and sneered.

Turning around, Qi Nuan tied her hair up high, put on two more layers of clothes and socks that she had prepared in advance, wrapped a blanket over her coat, and stuffed the important document bag into her arms.

Then he unplugged his phone which was still charging, took it in his hand, and quietly went out.

Although it still has no signal, it has enough power to at least be used as a flashlight.

The night is very dark in the winter forest.

In order to avoid falling again, Qi Nuan almost waded through the snow to move forward. The moisture quickly seeped through her shoes, socks and trouser legs, stuck to her skin, and brought a burning coldness.

After walking for more than an hour, she climbed up a small hill and turned around. She could still vaguely see the guiding light on the top of the villa behind her.

According to the gatekeeper, the village at the foot of the mountain is less than four hours' walk from here.
