A small town in Hunan.
Li Jing was walking casually on a road in the suburbs, carrying a travel bag.
Since being fired by Tang Xiaobao, she returned to the Cao family.
She was given a long vacation.
Although Cao Jianguo did not say it explicitly, she understood the meaning of his words.
So she went out traveling.
Cao Jianguo actually gave her a card, but she refused it.
Her work for the Cao family had never been about monetary compensation.
This life was given to the Cao family, so working for the Cao family is natural.
A long time ago, she had no feelings about life, no hope, no happiness, no family, no friendship, nothing.
Like a walking corpse, like a dog raised by the Cao family.
But she had no choice, because she was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. She remembered more clearly one morning twenty years ago when she was lying on the street with a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius and had not eaten for two days. It was snowing heavily and pedestrians walked past her one after another, but no one stopped to ask her if she was hungry.
At that time, she was desperate about the world. She thought that as long as someone could give her food to eat and keep her alive, she would be willing to give everything, including her body and life.
Just when she was about to die in despair, a car stopped and a young man carried her into the car. She still remembers the hint of pity in the man's eyes, very faint, but after so many years, that scene is still deeply imprinted in her mind.
That young man is Cao Jianguo.
Later, when she recovered from her illness, she met Cao Ying. In the Cao family's old house, Cao Ying always gave the best things to her and would secretly buy her delicious and fun things.
She received rigorous training and education, and finally joined the army. When she came out again, she became a sword in Cao Jianguo's hand.
She was assigned to Shenlong Pharmaceutical and became Chen Mengyao's assistant and bodyguard.
When she was a child, Cao Ying made her feel loved, and with more contact with Chen Mengyao, Li Jing's heart softened again.
Chen Mengyao treated her very well, like a sister.
The company's core secrets were never deliberately concealed from her.
It was because of this that she was able to successfully complete the task assigned by Cao Jianguo.
But day by day, Li Jing's heart was tormented.
If not, with her ability, how could Shen Mengyao notice her abnormality? When she came out of Shenlong Pharmaceutical, Li Jing thought she was finally free.
But after traveling for so long, her heart has never been truly at peace.
She changed her cell phone number. It was Cao Jianguo's suggestion, and she wanted to change it too.
After traveling across most of China, Li Jing still found it difficult to truly let go.
Coming out of the town, I don’t know where this road leads to.
In the distance, there are some dilapidated tiled houses built in the 1970s and 1980s, scattered in the fields and suburbs.
On both sides of the road, there are large fields of corn stalks, a vast expanse of green that stretches as far as the eye can see, extending all the way to the foot of the mountain in the distance.
Li Jing swung the travel bag behind her. Her skin looked a little dark, as if it had been marked by years of experience.
Suddenly, the roar of a car engine came from behind.
Li Jing turned her head and took a look.
An off-road vehicle without a license plate, with several people vaguely visible in the car.
The SUV didn't honk its horn and was driving slowly towards us.
Li Jing turned her head, moved to the side, and continued walking forward.
She walked aimlessly until the roar behind her suddenly became frantic.
His expression suddenly changed, his brows furrowed, and Li Jing turned around abruptly.
But it was too late.
She only had time to see the two men in the cab with arrogant and cruel smiles on their faces.
Li Jing has experienced life and death, no, she has experienced too many life and death situations, so she can see some problems from the other person's expression.
For example, the other party must be a desperado.
For example, the other party has received professional training like her.
For example, the other party is here to kill her.
The off-road vehicle crashed into him hard.
Bang!
Although Li Jing dodged quickly, she still couldn't avoid it completely and her body was knocked away.
Then she fell heavily into the ditch by the roadside.
The travel bag was thrown next to her.
The ditch is not deep, only half a meter high.
The SUV braked with a squeak and four people jumped out, each holding a gun.
Four guns were pointed at Li Jing.
Li Jing's body suddenly flipped over, she grabbed the travel bag, rushed into the cornfield on the side, and fled quickly into the distance.
Several gunshots were heard behind me.
The four men looked at each other and chased after him together.
They worked in perfect harmony, pushing forward from different angles.
Soon, gunshots were heard from the cornfield from time to time.
Half an hour later they were crossing the cornfield.
At the end of the cornfield, there is a small river.
Of the four men, only three were able to stand.
The other one was lying on the ground with a bloody streak on his neck. He was holding his throat tightly, but he was already dead.
During the previous tracking process, Li Jing was injured, and one of the four killers was killed by Li Jing.
There was still a lot of blood flowing by the river ahead.
Li Jing escaped.
"What should we do?" someone asked.
The leading killer, with a murderous gleam in his eyes, said, "Get rid of the third one as soon as possible, and then notify the others. I believe she won't be able to hide too far."
Someone interjected, "Yes, I shot her too. It seems she escaped from this river. Let's search along the riverbank. We should find her soon."
In the lower reaches of the river, there are reeds on both sides.
Li Jing was lying in a patch of reeds at this time, with the lower half of her body still soaked in water. The blood had turned the river water red, and blood was oozing out from time to time.
She lay there quietly, unconscious, but the travel bag was slung across her shoulder.
A group of fish swam over, smelling the blood, and swam around Li Jing's legs.
The river breeze was blowing, bringing a strong chill.
Li Jing woke up with a start.
She slowly opened her eyes, didn't move at first, rolled her eyes, and then listened attentively.
It's very quiet around.
It took a full two minutes before Li Jing started to move.
She crawled to the shore, her clothes were wet, and her right leg was still bleeding from a gunshot wound.
There was also bleeding in the shoulder, where he had also been shot.
Just from climbing out of the river, Li Jing was already exhausted. Her forehead was covered in sweat and her body was trembling slightly. She lay behind a rock, shivering in pain.
After a short rest, Li Jing looked around.
A thousand meters away there was a tiled house, hidden in a forest. It was barely visible and it was almost dusk, but there was no sound of people there, so it didn't look like anyone lived there.
Not far away, there is a mottled stone bridge across the river. The bridge is covered with moss. The bridge is simple and old, but full of historical flavor.
