After locking the shop door, she walked towards the street exit, but halfway there, she ran into Fu Haonan, who she didn't know whether he was waiting for her on purpose or was just taking a walk.
"Yan Mo, what a coincidence!" He still had that spring-like smile on his face.
Fu Haonan is Yan Mo's landlord. He didn't do anything to her and even helped her. She couldn't just ignore him. She slowed down her pace and nodded lightly.
"Are you planning to walk back?" Fu Haonan looked at the route she was taking and asked casually, "Why don't you drive back yourself?"
Speaking of her car, Yan Mo was depressed. When she came in the morning, the car was parked fine. When she was about to leave, she found that the car was parked in the original place. She didn't know what happened, but all four tires of the car were deflated. Helplessly, she could only ask A Biao to take it to the car dealership to repair it overnight. Now the shop was being renovated and it was very inconvenient without the car.
Yan Mo smiled politely and answered truthfully: "The car broke down, let's take a taxi back!"
"Taxi?"
Fu Haonan murmured, looking absentmindedly at the road ahead under the shade of a large tree. He then looked at Yan Mo who was still walking forward, his brows furrowed tightly.
When Yan Mo was about to enter that section of the road, Fu Haonan suddenly stopped, pondered for a moment, exhaled silently, and called out to Yan Mo:
"Yan Mo."
"What's wrong, Mr. Fu?" Yan Mo turned around in confusion and looked at Fu Haonan.
Fu Haonan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He looked at the road ahead that was shaded by big trees, feeling conflicted.
After not hearing a response for a long time, Yan Mo stopped paying attention to Fu Haonan, turned around again, and prepared to continue walking forward.
At this moment, a "crack" sound and the sound of dead branches breaking came from the road blocked by the big tree in front.
This movement successfully alerted Yan Mo. She immediately stopped and squinted her beautiful eyes to look into the depths of the road ahead.
Under the big tree in the shade, it was Bald Brother Xiong, leading dozens of people squatting behind the tree, motionless. Everyone had a tense expression, staring at Yan Mo who suddenly stopped outside. The sound just now was made accidentally by the bearded man behind the bald man.
Bald Brother Xiong saw Yan Mo standing there motionless and knew that the previous incident must have made Yan Mo alert.
"Who the hell wants to die?" Bald Xiong shouted in a low voice, turned around and glared at the bearded man fiercely.
The bearded man was frightened and apologized silently, feeling guilty: "Brother Xiong, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
In fact, he did it on purpose, because he saw through that person's thoughts. That's why he made a noise even though he knew he would be scolded. His eyes looked outside unconsciously.
This glance happened to be caught by the robed man next to the bald man. He looked at the bearded man meaningfully, grabbed the bald man who was about to hit him, and whispered in a low voice:
"Stop talking, if you keep going like this, that woman will find out."
The bald man could only wave, turned around, and set his gaze on Yan Mo outside again.
In fact, they didn't know that Yan Mo had amazing hearing. When the bald man said the first sentence, she vaguely heard the voice. She didn't hear clearly what he said, but it didn't stop her from thinking the worst of him.
If someone was coming from the opposite direction, they should have walked over that road long ago, but they didn't. This could only mean that there were people hiding inside and didn't want others to know of their existence. This was worth considering. The experience of being kidnapped was still fresh in her memory. Regardless of whether they were targeting her or not, she couldn't take this road to be on the safe side.
Having made up her mind, Yan Mo stared ahead warily and began to retreat step by step. She retreated to Fu Haonan's side and made up an excuse without thinking:
"Fu Haonan, didn't you say you left something in my shop? Let me go with you to get it now!"
Having said that, he turned around quickly and left without looking back.
She couldn't say openly that there were people inside and alert those people. This place was remote, and if she told them openly, they would come with more people and more power, and she would be at a disadvantage. So, when she passed by Fu Haonan, she said in a voice that only the two of them could speak, "Hurry up." Her tone was very anxious.
"Okay." Fu Haonan looked deeply at the big tree, a smile flashed in the depths of his eyes. Without hesitation, he turned around and followed Yan Mo's steps and walked back.
Seeing Yan Mo was about to run away, the bald man frowned. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He no longer hid and immediately jumped out, chasing after Yan Mo. The man in the robe couldn't stop him. He screamed "Damn it" and could only follow him out. His younger brothers followed him.
Seeing a group of people chasing after him, Fu Haonan hurriedly shouted to Yan Mo:
"Yan Mo, run, someone is chasing us."
Hearing this, Yan Mo kept walking and turned back to look. When he saw the dozens of people, all his hope was gone.
Just now she was still thinking that if there were only three or five people, with two bodyguards secretly protecting her, it should be no problem to deal with them. But now she saw that she had no choice but to run for her life.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace again and ran with all her strength. After Si Ze's recent training, the distance between her and Fu Haonan became larger and larger in the blink of an eye.
When he turned around and saw Fu Haonan, Yan Mo realized that something was wrong with Fu Haonan. After running for a while, he was panting like a bull, and his face looked pale under the dark street lights. Although he was still running, he looked shaky, and his legs seemed to be shaking, as if he would fall down at any time.
She was a little confused. How could someone who was fine just now suddenly become so sickly? However, the current situation did not allow her to think too much. She immediately turned around and ran towards Fu Haonan, shouting anxiously:
"Fu Haonan, hurry up!"
Fu Haonan was out of breath, shook his head helplessly, and said with a heavy breath:
"I can't run anymore, Yan Mo, run fast and don't look back. Don't worry about me."
"Shut up."
She was speechless. How could she possibly abandon Fu Haonan in such a situation? No one would do such a thing. She remained unmoved and continued to run towards Fu Haonan.
Fu Haonan looked at the woman who was running towards him without hesitation. At this moment, an indescribable emotion emerged in his eyes. This was the first time in more than 30 years that he felt cared for, and his heart was very complicated.
Yan Mo stopped in front of Fu Haonan and said breathlessly, "I'll help you walk."
"Yan Mo, actually you don't have to worry about me." Fu Haonan said hoarsely, unable to tell whether he was touched or what.
"Stop talking nonsense." Yan Mo looked behind him, watching the group of people gradually approaching. He grabbed Fu Haonan's clothes and dragged him forward.
