He casually tossed the fake necklace into the coffin, picked up the skeleton that was somehow connected, and ran to the balcony.
"My beloved concubine, let's go!" She grabbed the skeleton with one arm, climbed over the railing, and slid down the rope.
Li Man paused for a moment when she saw the skeleton tucked under her arm: "Okay." Stealing someone else's skeleton, is that really okay?
She took the safety rope off her waist and quickly descended the moment she hooked it.
Just as they reached the ground, the door was kicked open, and Desen entered, his eyes wide with rage upon seeing the empty coffin.
Rushing out onto the balcony, I happened to see Luo Shimiao carrying the skeleton as he climbed over the wall.
He raised his gun and fired in that direction, but it was too late.
He roared, "Ah! Chase after her! Bring her back to me! I want to eat her alive!"
Seeing their leader get angry, half of the henchmen stayed behind to protect him, while the other half slid down the rope.
Hearing the gunshot behind him, Luo Shimiao ran wildly without turning his head, his frame creaking in the wind.
Her skeleton couldn't withstand her rough treatment; it was almost shaken to pieces.
Li Man ran behind, picking up bones as she went.
"Beep beep." Gu Nian drove his car out from behind the building.
Luo Shimiao opened the car door and got in.
With a crisp "crack," the skull slammed against the doorframe and rolled to the ground.
"Boss, boss, my beloved concubine, please pick this up."
Li Man threw the pile of bones she was carrying into the car and turned to pick up the skulls that had rolled to the side.
"Bang!" The car door slammed shut, and the journey was safe; the accelerator was released, and the journey was smooth sailing.
Luo Jianxing turned around and saw the skeleton sitting between the two of them. His temple throbbed violently: "How did you manage to bring this thing out as well?"
"I didn't want to either, but there wasn't enough time, so I had to take it all with me." Luo Shimiao closed her eyes and put her hands together in front of the skeleton: "Amitabha, I'm sorry to have bothered you."
“The situation was urgent, and you were there at the time. I hope you can forgive my recklessness. If you don’t say anything, I will take it as your forgiveness.”
Gu Nian: "........."
Luo Jianxing: "........."
Li Man: "............."
If you were to speak, would you still be this calm?
Luo Shimiao bent down and picked up the bones scattered inside the car one by one.
"How did Derson know we were in the room? Is it related to me moving the crystal coffin?"
“When I opened the coffin lid, a red light suddenly came on, and then you, Third Brother, said he had arrived.”
Gu Nian avoided the large potholes in the road and said, "It's the same as the mattress in my room. It's connected to my phone, and it will give me a notification whenever I use it."
"It must be him, otherwise how could he have discovered it so quickly?" Luo Shimiao saw her best friend untying her necklace, took the box from behind her, opened it, and placed it on her lap.
Li Man took off the necklace and carefully placed it into the specially made box, saying, "No wonder he's called a pervert, he even put a warning on the coffin. What normal person would touch that thing inside?"
Luo Shimiao held the bone, tilted her head slightly, and felt as if she had been subtly insulted.
"I've found a clue," Luo Jianxing said excitedly.
Li Man: "What clue?"
"Regarding Desen's first love, she is very likely the woman sitting between you right now." He held his laptop and said slowly, "Her name is Tatana."
"The information I found said that she couldn't stand Desen's almost perverted possessiveness and unilaterally broke up with him. Not long after, she started dating another man."
"The unwilling Desen sent men to capture them, and their fate was predictable."
"There has been no further news of them since then."
Luo Shimiao put the bone aside, took off his gloves, and asked, "Do you have a photo?"
"Yes." Luo Jianxing scrolled down, and a young woman's face appeared on the computer screen.
Although she was smiling, there was an underlying sadness between her brows.
Luo Shimiao picked up the skull and placed it next to the photos: "Will we know if we draw it?"
"But... who she is doesn't matter much to us."
Gu Nian tapped the steering wheel casually with his long, slender hand: "What are you planning to do?"
"Find a place to put her down and return her to her." Luo Shimiao touched the skull, which had been polished to an incredibly smooth surface, and sighed, "A perfectly good plan of switching the prince with a cat has been ruined like this."
"But even if we return it, they won't let us go." She still remembered his howls, saying he wanted to eat her alive.
Li Man: "We haven't shown our faces, so we're safe for now."
......
More than forty minutes later,
Just as the car was about to cross the bridge and head to another city, Gu Nian suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.
Due to inertia, the frame, which wasn't wearing a seatbelt, flew forward and this time it really did fall apart.
Luo Shimiao craned his neck to look ahead: "Gu Nian, what's wrong?"
"There are people stopping the car for inspection ahead."
Luo Jianxing lowered the window and said, "Back up, let me see what's going on." He then released the little bee.
The car slowly reversed until it stopped at a safe distance.
The little bee flies overhead, and the scene it sees is simultaneously transmitted to the computer.
Six men in uniforms, each holding two pieces of paper, were checking the people inside the car.
Luo Jianxing zoomed in on the image: "They are local soldiers."
"Wow, Miaomiao, Master, you two look so good in photos! Even though we can't see your faces, your backs are so beautiful that we can't help but exclaim 'Oh my god!'" Xiao Lü said, stopping on Luo Jianxing's arm and turning back to look at them.
The A4 paper was printed with photos of the two of them in the villa, especially the first one, in which Luo Shimiao was holding a skeleton in one hand, climbing over the wall, and looking back at the third-floor balcony.
His eyes were arrogant and unruly, full of provocation.
This is the only photo of her where her eyes are visible.
The photos show Li Man's back, her profile, and her picking up bones.
The other sheet of paper had the portraits of two men printed on it, and they were very clear.
Gu Nian looked at the two faces, a hint of surprise flashing across his handsome face: "Chinese?"
"That was fast." Luo Jianxing took a screenshot and then remotely controlled the little bee back.
A flashlight shone over, and a soldier was standing on the other side of the road.
He shouted across the road, "What are you doing here? Get out of the car and submit to inspection."
Without saying a word, Gu Nian stepped on the gas and turned around to go down the small road on the left.
"Something's up. A black car escaped without being checked, and it's very likely the person we're looking for," the soldier said into the walkie-talkie.
In less than a minute, several tails appeared behind them.
The car's chassis scraped against the rough road, making a "clanging" sound.
Luo Shimiao gripped the handrail to steady himself: "For patients with kidney stones, this route is more effective than surgery in clearing the stones!"
“A-Nian, let’s go into the mountains,” Luo Jianxing said, unfolding a topographical map. “I reckon every road leading to other cities is guarded. Land won’t work, so let’s try the waterway.” He showed him the planned route.
"Hmm." Gu Nian glanced at it a few times, stepped on the gas, and circled around to completely shake off the tail behind.
