Just when she was relieved that she would soon be safe and could linger a bit longer, unknown to her, danger was creeping in.
Qiao Qing maintained a cautious posture, looking back every few steps and moving forward quietly. Her eyes were carefully scanning the safety passage ahead.
Suddenly, the light in front of her turned pitch black.
Startled, Qiao Qing quickly turned around. Then she saw Lu Nanchen stepping out from a corner to her front, lifting his toy gun at her with a clear intention.
The disparity in strength between men and women was significant. Confronting Lu Nanchen was undoubtedly a disaster for Qiao Qing. Experiencing the saying ’caught between a rock and a hard place’, she heard a faint rustling sound coming from behind.
Whether it was Lu Nanchen in front or Liu Zhiyuan behind, her end seemed inevitable...
Her eyes darted around, her mind racing. Before Lu Nanchen could shoot, she screamed, "Lu Nanchen is here!"
Smack.
Just as she finished speaking, she was hit.
After lifting his gun, Lu Nanchen’s thin lips slightly parted, uttering a few words, "Sorry."
Then, he gave her a shot.
Her white clothes were stained with yellow paint.
"The first contestant, Qiao Qing has passed. Eighteen minutes left."
Hearing the commotion, Liu Zhiyuan and Tong Na rushed through the concrete stairwell from their hiding place. As they appeared from the safety passage, they saw Lu Nanchen fleeing the ’crime scene’.
Using his fleeting shadow as a guide, the two quickly gave chase.
The chase intensified. The peaceful mall echoed with the sound of frantic footsteps.
Tong Na and Liu Zhiyuan, unlike average celebrities, paid utmost attention to their physical fitness and diet. Their physical prowess was far superior compared to the average person. Despite chasing Lu Nanchen for several minutes, they didn’t lose him.
Lu Nanchen knew this, and through the clean mirror on the side of the corridor, he saw two small black dots chasing him.
These two competitive individuals were playing the game seriously.
With that thought,
Lu Nanchen increased his pace, rounding a corner and successfully shaking them off.
Seeing that Lu Nanchen was out of sight, Tong Na and Liu Zhiyuan picked up the pace and quickly arrived at the place where Lu Nanchen had disappeared.
After turning the corner, they found two branching paths. The paths seemed eerily quiet, with no sight of Lu Nanchen.
Ding.
"Ten minutes left until the game ends. Contestants, keep going!"
The voice from the earpiece made the situation tense.
Just as Liu Zhiyuan was having a hard time deciding which direction to go, Tong Na seemed to have made up her mind.
"Let’s split up. I’ll go left, and you go right."
As she spoke, Tong Na used her hand to gesture.
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned.
"Isn’t it risky? What if you encounter Lu Nanchen? With the power disparity, you can’t resist him," he objected.
Tong Na casually waved her hand and replied, "What’s there to worry about? It’s just a game. Even if I run into him, would he really harm me? At most, I would be shot with a foam bullet."
Liu Zhiyuan pursed his lips.
Of course, he was not worried about Lu Nanchen, but about Tong Na.
He knew his wife better than anyone else, didn’t he?
Considering her competitiveness and desire for victory,
She could end up fighting with Lu Nanchen in desperation.
Seeing Liu Zhiyuan in such an unusual state, his words stuttering without forming a coherent sentence,
There was no time to waste, Tong Na gave him a few glances. After a pat on his shoulder, she ran off to the left.
"That’s the plan. I’ll be fine."
