"Let me go..."
Feeling his hot breath on her ear, Fu Zhiqing trembled, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.
But Li Zhiqi seemed not to hear him, and his large hand moved downwards: "It's still early. Since Miss Fu doesn't plan to call the police, why don't you spend some more time with me?"
Fu Zhiqing's eyes widened suddenly, but the next moment she was pulled onto the bed, and the man's body pressed down on her instantly.
...
At the same time.
Li Ruo developed a high fever due to dehydration from the past few days of travel and an infection in her leg wound.
But this is a slum, where living conditions are already poor, and it's a problem for everyone to have enough to eat, let alone have access to medicine.
Seeing Li Ruo's condition worsen day by day, and her face grow paler and paler, Lyon was anxious but helpless.
After all, he could only afford to eat one meal a day, let alone have money to buy medicine, so he could only bring her hot water again and again: "Drink some, it might make you feel better. This is the cleanest water I can find."
"Thanks."
Li Ruo forced a smile before taking the water and drinking a sip.
Even this simple action made her hands tremble uncontrollably.
Realizing she was completely exhausted, she remained silent for a moment before finally gritting her teeth and taking off the bracelet she had worn for many years. She handed it to Leon: "This is the bracelet I've worn since I was a child. Although it has lost some value now, it should still be worth a lot of money. After you exchange it for money, can you buy me some medicine? The rest of the money is yours."
"this……"
Lyon instinctively took the bracelet, but hesitated.
After all, the outside is full of Darius's people, and the checks are very strict. This trip out of here is probably quite risky for him.
Moreover, although Li Ruo didn't say it, he could tell that this bracelet was very precious to her.
"Are you really willing to do that?"
Li Ruo gave a bitter smile: "Life is more important!"
This bracelet was a gift from Jiang Luochu, and she has worn it on her wrist for many years without ever taking it off.
But she also knew that staying alive was the most important thing!
If I die here today, no matter how precious these things are, they're useless...
Seeing her serious expression, Leon sighed: "Wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, he turned and ran out.
He moved quickly, weaving through the narrow alleyways, and soon arrived at the familiar exit.
But the next moment, upon seeing what was ahead, he abruptly stopped in his tracks.
Not far away, Darius's men were checking each person who was leaving.
The other party seemed certain that Li Ruo was still in the slums. Although they were not sure where she was hiding, they assumed she would try to contact Wen Huaiyan, so they increased their vigilance.
Regardless of age or gender, everyone must undergo a body search before entering or leaving, to prevent them from smuggling out any information for Li Ruo.
Seeing that Darius's men were checking several exits, Leon had no choice but to stuff the bracelet into his tattered hat and grit his teeth and walk over.
He originally planned to use his status as a child to sneak out, but he was stopped.
"Hey kid, stop right there!"
Upon hearing this, Lyon's heart skipped a beat, but he turned around cooperatively and said with a smile, "Brother, what is it?"
The person conducting the inspection was the same fat man who had previously conspired with the scarred man to take advantage of Li Ruo.
Hearing this, the fat man couldn't help but sneer: "What is it? Didn't you see there's an inspection here? Are you hiding something and trying to sneak out?"
Hearing his question, Leon hurriedly waved his hands in fright: "No, no, no, I didn't do anything wrong. I just thought you didn't search children. In that case, go ahead and search, search as you like!"
As he spoke, he immediately opened his arms.
"You're smart to know what's good for you!"
The fat man glared at him before groping him all over.
Finding nothing amiss, the man's eyes clearly showed anger, as he felt his time had been wasted.
Lyon seized the opportunity to quickly ask, "Brother, can I leave now?"
The heavy workload of the past few days had already made the fat man somewhat irritable, and now that he hadn't found anything, he impatiently waved his hand and said, "Get out of here!"
Hearing this, Lyon finally felt relieved.
"Thank you, brother."
He nodded to the fat man and quickly turned to leave.
Perhaps it was the first time he had faced such a situation, but as he turned around, he subconsciously adjusted his hat.
Upon seeing this, the fat man narrowed his eyes, as if he had sensed something, and his gaze sharpened.
"etc!"
Hearing his stern shout, Lyon's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around tremblingly.
Is there anything else?
The fat man looked him up and down, finally fixing his gaze on his hat.
"I don't think I checked your hat just now. Take it off."
Upon hearing this, Lyon's heart leaped into his throat.
He was hiding Li Ruo's bracelet in his hat; if he took it off, it would definitely be discovered.
