Lin Zhiyi just wanted to shout that they were here when she heard the men’s voices.
"Lin Zhiyi can’t have gotten far with a child. Search around here."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi immediately covered herself more tightly with the grass in front of her.
She thought they would leave after going around once.
Unexpectedly, they started wildly chopping the surrounding grass with machetes.
Watching the grass slowly fall, Lin Zhiyi knew that she and Jian Xi would soon be discovered.
She looked down at the feverishly unconscious Jian Xi and resolutely wrapped him in clothes, placing him carefully in the grass pile.
The next second, she jumped out of the makeshift grass pile, deliberately making a noise as she ran out wildly.
"Over there! Chase quickly!"
A group of people ran in the direction of Lin Zhiyi.
At the same time.
Gong Chen and Captain Xing followed the traces left by others, closing in continuously.
Finally, they stopped at a place where the grass had been pressed down in all directions.
Captain Xing stepped forward to observe the marks: "These have been cut with a knife, and the grass is lying down neatly, so it probably wasn’t an ordinary knife. It seems they’ve lost patience; we can’t discern their movements now."
Gong Chen stood in place, closing his eyes.
"Do you hear anything?"
Captain Xing immediately became alert, differentiating the sounds among the wind, then turned to look in a certain direction.
He touched the gun at his lower back, approaching step by step, and parted the grass pile in front of him.
He shockingly found a child lying inside.
"It’s a child."
Captain Xing picked up Jian Xi.
Gong Chen also walked over and touched Jian Xi’s forehead.
"He’s having a fever, but he’ll be fine for now."
"Ah?"
Captain Xing expected him to be anxious, yet Gong Chen simply unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and poured it over Jian Xi’s face.
Jian Xi jolted awake.
Gong Chen crouched down: "Where’s Zhiyi?"
Jian Xi wiped his face and pointed in a direction.
Immediately, Gong Chen’s silhouette vanished.
Captain Xing handed the child to a colleague, muttering, "Third Young Master is quite the wife-saver."
...
Lin Zhiyi weaved through the grass, eventually losing track of where she had run.
Ultimately, she tripped over a tree vine on the ground, completely exhausted, unable to get up.
She knew she couldn’t run anymore.
But she had to run, or she’d die.
Lin Zhiyi grabbed the ground vine and stood up, realizing it extended upwards.
Suddenly, an idea struck her.
She climbed directly up the tree following the vine.
Just as she held on to a branch, four men chased over beneath her.
The lead man’s hat had come off while running.
Turning, Lin Zhiyi clearly saw his face.
Fang Sisi’s lawyer.
"How come you can’t handle a woman and a child? Headquarters said that if it’s not well handled this time, nobody will have it easy."
Headquarters?
It seems it really is Yang Jingwei stirring things up.
Only she would use Fang Sisi to kill with a borrowed knife.
Lin Zhiyi held her breath, silently watching from the tree.
The lawyer angrily swung his hand, dropping something from his pocket, which made a clatter as it hit the ground.
Lin Zhiyi paused for a moment.
It was that sound.
Every time something was wrong with Fang Sisi, Lin Zhiyi would hear that sound.
It turns out to be the sound from a pocket watch.
Before, she’d heard online that watches could be used for hypnosis.
She never thought it was true.
Now, she definitely couldn’t be discovered.
Just when she thought she was well hidden, she heard a noise like flapping wings in front of her.
Yet she couldn’t see anything.
Until she turned her head, facing a drone.
Scared, she nearly screamed.
Seeing that it didn’t attack her, Lin Zhiyi immediately guessed something, pointing down below.
The drone’s camera shifted, indeed pointing downward,
seeing the person clearly, it swiftly flew in another direction by control.
The lawyer was startled.
