"That's settled then. I've never seen anyone as stupid as you, betraying your own people. Let me tell you, whatever that thing that just flew by, we'll pretend we didn't see anything. If anyone asks, we'll say it was a cat. In short, we absolutely cannot admit to seeing anything strange. Got it?"
"I...I understand. But what if something really happens to the hostage? Wouldn't we both be in even worse shape?"
Bodyguard B was still somewhat uneasy. This Master Xia was a ruthless character; he dared to touch even the Mu family, so he wouldn't take them, these small fry, seriously at all.
Thinking that B's words made sense, bodyguard A thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go take a look? That strange thing seemed to have come out of this room. As long as we make sure the hostage is still there, everything will be fine."
"Okay, that's a good idea."
So the two bodyguards climbed up to the fourth floor together. They then had the other two bodyguards stationed at the door open the door a crack so they could peek inside.
On the bed in the room, Yi Yi's coat and her hair were visible under the covers.
"It's alright, the person is still inside safely." Bodyguard A breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that what happened just now was a cat, perhaps even a spirit.
"That's good. Let's go downstairs and get...and have a drink. Damn it, having to stay in the yard this late at night is so boring, there's no fun at all."
"Exactly, whatever, let's go drink."
The two men, arms around each other's shoulders, walked downstairs together without any worries.
...
In the darkness, the fiery red figure moved swiftly, evading the heavy guards. Occasionally, someone would see her and think they were seeing things, or perhaps they were spotting some kind of animal. After all, in their understanding, no human being possessed such a speed.
Yi was extremely anxious. After leaving the villa, she headed straight for the eastern suburbs. According to Xiao Fang, they were attacked there, and Mu Nanxun and "Mao" "Mao" also accidentally fell into the sea there and disappeared without a trace.
For the past month or so, both Xiao Fang and the group that wanted to kill Mu Nanxun have been searching for his whereabouts, both openly and secretly. But they have found nothing.
Some say that Mu Nanxun was seriously injured that day, fell into the water, and his body was never found; he must be dead. Even the old man and the eldest daughter often shed tears, believing he had no chance of survival. But Yi Yi didn't believe it. She knew Mu Nanxun was definitely still alive. The reason he hadn't returned for over a month must be because he had his own plan. Definitely.
Mumu, where are you? Wait for me, I'm coming.
By the time Yi Yi ran from the villa to the eastern suburbs, the night had gradually faded and the sky was beginning to lighten.
Fortunately, the eastern suburbs are located in a remote area with few people passing through year-round. Therefore, Yi Yi was not worried about being discovered.
Overgrown with weeds, a sheer cliff more than ten meters high plunges into a bottomless pool of water, where ferocious crocodiles roam year-round. If a person were to accidentally fall in, they would become the crocodiles' meal. On the opposite side of the cliff, beyond the pool, lies a small patch of jungle.
The crocodiles in this pool are extremely dangerous, and the presence of wild animals in the jungle further increases the risk. Therefore, this jungle is almost entirely devoid of human presence. Even renowned wilderness survival experts avoid this area.
Oh no, there's a human presence!
