Next to Shi Nian were Fang Ning and Zhao Xinyue.
Feng Sihan's breathing rate quickened, his eyes fixed on Shi Nian's figure.
Shi Nian leaned against the window. Fang Ning's mouth opened and closed, and no one knew what he was saying to her.
Fortunately, she did not appear to be hurt.
Feng Sihan breathed a sigh of relief and moved his gaze to Fang Ning, his eyes filled with coldness, and he urgently wanted to save Shi Nian.
She must have been terrified to come to a place like this.
He used a telescope to observe the surroundings. The village was brightly lit and filled with armed patrolmen.
He gestured for Han Ye to come forward and lowered his voice, "Come with me to remember the various sentry points and patrol routes. We will each lead three people later. I will go in front and you will follow behind to flank them."
Han Ye made an understanding gesture, crawled forward, took the telescope from the team member, and began to observe with held breath with Feng Sihan.
In the village.
Shi Nian was stared at by Fang Ning and returned to the stove to cook.
She decided to quit while she was ahead and didn't add more salt to the food this time.
No one spoke in the kitchen and the atmosphere was depressing.
Shi Nian served the rice and walked to the side, "Okay, come and get it yourself."
Fang Ning looked at her suspiciously, then walked over to take a bite. His brows relaxed, and he looked up at her and said calmly, "From now on, cook for me according to this saltiness."
Shi Nian ignored him and said, "I feel a little bored. I want to go out for a walk."
She took Zhao Xinyue's arm and said, "I won't go far. I'll just sit in the front yard. We'll come back after you finish your meal."
Fang Ning said firmly, "No."
Shi Nian was unhappy. Seeing him pursed his lips and said nothing, his expression was serious, and he lowered his eyes. "Didn't you say that as long as I listen to you and don't leave the village, I can move freely in the village? Are all the things you told me before a lie?"
Fang Ning frowned slightly and said nothing. The kitchen fell silent in an instant.
Shi Nian was nervous, not knowing whether he would agree to her request.
Zhao Xinyue seemed to be even more nervous than her, and her cold hand clasped hers tightly.
The rice in the plate gave off an enticing aroma. Fang Ning pondered for a moment. No matter what, Shi Nian at least stopped confronting him.
She is already in his hands, and it is difficult for her to fly away even with wings. If they want to get along, there is plenty of time in the future. There is no need for him to push her so hard and be anxious for this moment.
Fang Ning changed his tone, "Okay."
Shi Nian's tense nerves relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Without hesitation, she pulled Zhao Xinyue and turned to walk out.
Suddenly, Fang Ning's voice came from behind, "Wait a moment."
Fang Ning said a few words that she couldn't understand, and then the man standing not far away came over, clamped Zhao Xinyue's arm, and forcefully pulled Zhao Xinyue away from her.
Zhao Xinyue was startled. She didn't care about putting on a show in front of Fang Ning. She waved her arms to pull Shi Nian's hand, "Niannian, save me!"
Shi Nian was also frightened by the sudden change. She held her best friend's hand tightly and turned to question Fang Ning, "Why did you let them arrest Xinyue?"
"I can only promise you freedom of movement in the village. You can go out, but she must stay."
Fang Ning's eyes were sharp and penetrating, and he seemed to be saying to her, don't think I don't know your little thoughts. If you dare to run away, I will not be polite to her.
Shi Nian clenched her fists, and her fingertips pinched the wound on her palm. The pain made her sober up a little, and her sharp expression gradually eased.
She refused to give up, "What if you hurt her again after I leave?"
Fang Ning suddenly laughed. Shi Nian didn't feel relieved. She just felt that his smile was sinister and had bad intentions.
"Nian Nian, I'm not a sadist. I've said that as long as you listen to me and don't make me angry, I won't hurt you or do anything to her."
Seeing her doubtful look, Fang Ning sighed, "I will fulfill the promises I made."
Shi Nian didn't want to give up the opportunity to go out and observe, but she was worried about her best friend.
She looked hesitant, not sure whether she should believe Fang Ning's words.
Just when she was in a dilemma and unable to make a decision, Zhao Xinyue suddenly let go of her hand.
Zhao Xinyue didn't say anything. Shi Nian raised his eyes to meet her gaze and understood what she meant.
Her bestie wants her to go out.
Shi Nian bit her lower lip lightly, "I'll be back soon."
She was facing Fang Ning, and her words were indeed directed to Zhao Xinyue.
Fang Ning promised her freedom of movement, but did not give her complete freedom.
When she came out of the house, she noticed that two men with guns were following her.
They kept a distance from her, watching her every move warily.
Shi Nian hated the feeling of being watched, but she didn't dare go back and question Fang Ning.
Fang Ning is a psychopath. If she says something wrong and makes him unhappy, he will lock her up again and she will be the one who suffers.
Zhao Xinyue was still in his hands, so even if she could run, she couldn't escape alone.
Shi Nian pretended that the person behind him didn't exist, and walked slowly in the front yard, observing the entire village.
If her guess was correct, Fang Ning must have brought them back to Country M.
After getting on the bus from the port, they walked on dirt roads.
The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there seems to be no other residents around except them.
Shi Nian did not give up and looked around carefully again, and disappointment gradually appeared in his eyes.
The village is surrounded by barbed wire, and there are strong men with guns patrolling outside.
The village where she was was like a birdcage, airtight and tightly wrapped in layers.
The more Shi Nian watched, the more frightened she became. It was harder than climbing to heaven for her to escape with Zhao Xinyue with her bare hands.
No wonder Fang Ning agreed to let her move freely in the village, because he knew that she couldn't escape...
She wanted to save herself, but she absolutely couldn't do it in a short time.
Shi Nian couldn't help but think of Feng Sihan.
It was already late at night, and she didn't know where he was, what he was doing, and whether he was still looking for her...
Shi Nian lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment in her eyes.
She didn't know that at this moment Feng Sihan was hiding in the mountains a few kilometers away, watching her through a telescope.
Feng Sihan's jawline was tense, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his fingers holding the telescope tightened, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.
Shi Nian was facing him, and he noticed that her neck was injured.
She must have had a conflict with Fang Ning.
Since she came out alone, she must have gained Fang Ning's trust. It is also possible that Fang Ning threatened Zhao Xinyue and bet that she would not dare to run away.
It was only almost a day since they last saw each other, but Feng Sihan felt like a whole year had passed.
The situation in the village was more serious than he had imagined. This was probably Fang Ning's lair. There were many sentry posts and patrols were ongoing, with only a few seconds for shift changes.
These are only what they can observe from the outside, and they don't know how many people are inside the village.
Feng Sihan put down the binoculars and asked calmly, "Have you contacted the police in Country M? When will the reinforcements arrive?"
