The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

It was a chaotic scene in the mountain behind the Lucky Cloud Pavilion.

While Xu Wei came out of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion under Wang Rao’s protection, she raised her head and she saw the silver sports car that sped by.

“Ah!” Xu Wei shouted as she pointed at the silver sports car. She turned her head back to Lu Jingqing and said, “Honey, that car is so cool! Let’s buy one so that you can bring me back to the villa!”

In this way, she did not have to suffer from her motion sickness for so long. After all, she did not wish to go through the same experience when Wang Rao fetched her down from Mount Qiu Ling.

Lu Jingqing did not know what he should say. If he really wanted to grant Xu Wei’s wish, the first thing he needed to do was resign from his job. Then, he would go for a professional training for a year, but he doubted he would be able to drive as fast as the driver of the silver sports car.

That said, this could wait until they had escaped from here. Lu Jingqing protected Xu Wei with his body and both of them went into the car.

Not far away from them, Wu Qi was shouting, his talks interspersed with curses, “Godd*mn it, this bunch of barbarians! Xiao He, call Zhiheng. Ask him if he has contacted the owner of Iris Time Villa or not!”

Xiao He nodded.

Inside the black limousine, Wang Rao turned his head and scrutinized the silver sports car. He felt the silver sports car was very familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it before. Just when the thought surfaced in his mind, he noticed the string of “sixes” on the number plate and his eyes rounded in shock.

‘Isn’t it the sports car from Iris Time Villa?!’

Wang Rao’s heart skipped a beat and he hastily sent a message to Shen Cizhou, [Boss, this is bad! Ms. Fu is driving again! And she’s running, not one but multiple red lights! Just how much money do you have to help her pay this time!]

Shen Cizhou, [???]

Wang Rao then snapped a picture of the silver sports car and sent it to Shen Cizhou.

When Shen Cizhou saw the red light in the junction, his heart nearly stopped.

[Is she rushing to die? What the hell did she drive so fast for?]

Wang Rao replied, [I’m not sure if she’s rushing to die or not, but one thing I’m very sure of is that she won’t be returning to Iris Time Villa for the time being. You should stop replying to my message, and pack all your money and stuff, and run!!]

[You do have a point. Well, thanks for your reminder!]

—

The harsh winter had frosted the road in front of the Lucky Cloud Pavilion, and the forest of the mountain in the distance was blanketed in a layer of snow.

Leaning against the stump, Gu Yanqi closed his eyes as he allowed the darkness to invade his mind inch by inch.

The hounds were growling several meters away from him. The sky was lit up by the blinding ray of light from the torchlights, and he could vaguely pick up the inaudible yelling and cursing from the air.

“Run!”

The shout and voice of his teammates asking him to run was still within earshot.

However, where could he possibly run to right now?

He ran his fingers over the ring necklace on his neck as his eyes turned red around the rims.

There was nowhere he could run to.

Two hours ago, when they were on their way to the Zheng Mansion, their driver was shot in the head, their car went out of control, and Li Nanli fell unconscious after he sustained an injury in his heart.

Half an hour later, they were cornered on an abandoned mountain range that used to be a military base behind the Lucky Cloud Pavilion.

Nobody had expected something like this. After all, considering the influence of the Li Family in Myanmar, they did not believe that anyone would be audacious enough to ambush them, and it was exactly because they took their opponent lightly that they were pushed to their current situation.

Listening to the incoming barking of the hounds, Gu Yanqi picked up the gun beside him and took a deep breath.

Someone was getting closer and closer to him. He held his breath and then a foot landed on the pile of fallen leaves beside him.

There were only a few bullets left in his gun, and Gu Yanqi’s first reaction was to leap up and snap the neck of the person coming. Then, just when he turned around and saw the incoming person, he froze.

The person was petite and there was no expression on her face.

The night had gotten even darker, and one’s senses were magnified multiple times in a dark area.

At the same time as Gu Yanqi saw clearly who the person was in front of her, a dazzling ray of light came from the distance.

Gu Yanqi’s pupils constricted and he hastily picked up his gun to shoot at the source of the light.

The torchlight rolled down from the man’s hand as he fell limply to the ground.

“Fu Zhi!”

Gu Yanqi pulled her over and hid her behind the trunk. Then, he looked at her with a stern expression as he hissed, “Have you gone out of your mind? What the hell are you doing here?

“Do you have any idea how dangerous it is? You will get yourself killed!” He snarled.

Using the light from her phone, Fu Zhi could see that Gu Yanqi’s eyes were red. He was grabbing her arms and his voice was hoary.

“Come, let’s go find…”

“There’s no way to go.”

“I will find a way,” he pitched his voice low and replied, “Follow me!”

However, Fu Zhi smacked his hand away. She looked at him calmly, pulled out a piece of antiseptic cotton from the first-aid box, and said, “I’m sure you know better than me, right? There’s no way we can go now.”

The entire mountain was under the control of their enemy. They could come in easily, but it was as difficult as nailing a jelly to the wall to get out of here. They were like turtles in a jar right now.

Both of them did not talk to each other for a short while, as Fu Zhi helped Gu Yanqi to tend to his wound.

“I want to go find Li Nanli,” Fu Zhi said, breaking the silence.

She sounded very firm and determined.

Gu Yanqi closed his eyes, and mixed expressions dawned on his face when he opened his eyes again.

“I was separated from him. Fu Zhi, you listen carefully to every word I am going to say next,” he said, “The people who surround us are a mercenary group from Country M. The four people who got separated from me were dead, and I’m one of their targets.”

Then, he pulled out another gun from his shirt and handed it to Fu Zhi. “Here, take this. I won’t be able to save you, so you need this to protect yourself. Of course, I will try my best to protect you before I die.”

Fu Zhi lifted her head to look at her.

“Load the bullet, pull the bolt, aim, pull the trigger, and fire,” Gu Yanqi said. Then, he pointed at the distance and continued, “If they don’t die, it will be us who will die.”

Fu Zhi took over the gun that Gu Yanqi handed her.

As if he was still worried about her, he gripped at the gun tightly and asked, “We don’t have much time left. Did you remember everything I said?”

Fu Zhi did not say anything and just pulled the gun out of Gu Yanqi’s hands. Gu Yanqi was caught off guard and he fell towards Fu Zhi.

She dodged it by standing up, and Gu Yanqi fell on the ground with a meaty smack.

“F*ck!” He cursed aloud and got up from the ground. Although he felt Fu Zhi was a nuisance, she was the only one who came all the way here alone to look for Li Nanli.

As such, he suppressed his rage and said, “If you can’t do it, you can wait for me here. If I’m lucky enough to go inside, I will ask Liu Mi to bring you out of here.”
