After finishing her meal, Nanxing finally managed to fill her stomach briefly. Undeterred, she regained her strength and slowly stood up, leaning against the wall. She then began searching for a way out.
To her despair, the door seemed to be a specially installed iron door, and the walls on all sides were made of cement. Apart from the square window, she could not find any way out.
Nanxing gradually succumbed to despair and could only start rummaging through the discarded trash in the room.
She needs to find a powerful tool to protect herself in critical moments.
As dawn broke, Nanxing finally found a rusty razor blade. She quietly wrapped it in a tissue and put it in her bag.
Then, Nanxing found a few small pebbles in the corner, and without hesitation, she arranged them into a five-pointed star shape on the ground.
After everything was arranged, it was already broad daylight.
Nanxing looked at the five-pointed star pattern on the ground and then realized...
The direction she set up was the same one she and he had set up many years ago when they were both seven or eight years old, when they played hide-and-seek.
They were very young then, and she and Duan Ye always liked to tease Duan Ze and Nan Yue together.
When it's her and Duan Ye's turn to look for someone, one of them is always an undercover agent, and the symbol for an undercover agent is... a five-pointed star.
As Nanxing watched, she inexplicably felt a little teary-eyed.
Even if she was completely ignorant of worldly affairs, she knew that she had been taken away from Kyoto.
If she's not in Kyoto, why would Duan Ye come looking for her?
Just as she was crying, she heard footsteps outside the door. Nanxing quickly wiped away her tears, grabbed some of the discarded trash, and used it to cover up the five-pointed star symbol.
After she finished doing all that, the door was opened again.
Nanxing looked at them in horror.
Yang Hao: "Stop looking, come out, let's go."
Nanxing could only emerge from the corner, trembling. As soon as she reached Yang Hao, a black hood was put over her head, and then her hands were grabbed and she was dragged out the door.
After being dragged along for a while, Nanxing suddenly stopped.
The henchman was extremely impatient: "What? You want us to carry you again?"
Nanxing stammered, "I...I need to go to the bathroom..."
Henchman: "Don't you dare cause trouble! Where the hell are you going to find a toilet in this desolate place?"
Yang Hao glanced at the henchman and then pulled Nanxing forward.
The henchman glanced around impatiently, then dutifully took up his post.
He wouldn't have put up with this if the boss hadn't specifically asked for the woman.
Meanwhile, Yang Hao led the woman to a reed bed and removed her hood: "Alright, let's take care of this here."
Nanxing looked at him pitifully: "You...you're here, I..."
Yang Hao frowned and glanced at her a few times, then took out the gun from his waist. He got his wish and saw Nan Xing's face turn deathly pale.
Yang Hao laughed, grabbing Nanxing's hair and pressing the gun to her head: "Big star, if you dare to play any tricks, this bullet will go right through your head, I promise..."
Nanxing was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Yang Hao put away his gun: "I'll give you five minutes."
After saying that, Yang Hao turned and walked away.
But the distance is such that Nanxing can see it as soon as she stands up.
Nanxing gritted her teeth. This was her only chance. If she didn't run, she might never be able to escape again.
So Nanxing said, "Big...Big Brother, please go away a bit, if you keep going like this...I...I can't get out..."
Yang Hao was speechless, but he still took a few more steps away. He didn't think that Nan Xing, a weak woman, could escape their sight.
When the henchman saw Yang Hao approaching, he laughed: "See? I told you women are such a hassle, didn't I?"
The henchman handed Yang Hao a cigarette, and the two brothers started smoking.
Yang Hao: "Hey, you little punk, you should know what the consequences are of messing with the boss's men..."
Yang Hao looked at him with a dark expression: "Your whole body will be riddled with bullets."
The henchman's face darkened, and in his anger, he threw the cigarette away and crushed it.
"Nanxing, right? The boss will get tired of her sooner or later!"
With that, the henchman walked straight towards Nanxing: "Really giving her five minutes? Does she really think she's here on vacation?!"
Nanxing had just finished sizing up the route and was about to run when he heard the henchman's impatient voice getting closer and closer...
I also heard the sound of a bullet being chambered.
Nanxing could only frantically make a five-pointed star with trembling hands, and then quickly stood up.
The henchman just happened to be standing in front of her.
The henchman was also wearing a mask, so Nanxing couldn't see his face, but she could see his eyes, which gave her the creeps.
The henchman, toying with his gun, glanced at the ground and, noticing a wet puddle, chuckled, "Let's go..."
Nanxing quickly moved away from the henchmen and ran towards Yang Hao.
At least this person didn't have any improper thoughts about her.
Nanxing knew very well that if it weren't for Yang Hao, she would probably have been killed by his henchmen long ago.
As she ran, she didn't forget to quickly look up and glance at the surrounding terrain.
Duan Ye had taught her that if she ever found herself in danger, she must remember the way... remember the way...
Remember to mark his location; he will definitely come looking for her.
When the black hood was put on again, Nanxing shed two lines of tears, and she was filled with despair.
She was put into a car and driven away from the reed marshes.
She knew she shouldn't pin her hopes on Duan Ye, but deep down, she still longed to see him one last time.
——
L City Police Department.
The three men were sitting in the bureau chief's office.
Chief: "Based on the intelligence you provided, we've located the group in an abandoned building on the outskirts of the city, but the terrain there is complicated... I've already sent men to scout ahead..."
Xiao Liu: "Director, there's no time to lose, so let's not stand on ceremony and head over now."
After Xiao Liu finished speaking, Duan Ze and Duan Ye both stood up.
Director: "Okay, I'll have Captain Guo take you there."
Soon, everyone was assembled, and the group headed towards the outskirts of the city.
The police car approached from afar, but by the time they arrived, the place was already deserted.
A police officer rushed in to report: "We've searched the entire area, there's no one here, only one house with signs of having been occupied..."
Duan Ye: "Take me to see it."
The police officer glanced at Guo Han instinctively.
Guo Han nodded, and only then did the police officer take Duan Ye over.
Guo Han: "Looks like they got away again..."
"Officer Liu, we're nearing the border. To prevent them from escaping, we've deployed personnel along the border. Don't be too nervous..."
Duan Ze frowned. How could he not be nervous? Nan Xing was a girl, and today was the third day.
If they really do escape across the border...
Nanxing's safety is truly in jeopardy.
