The other person let out a cold laugh, then with an indifferent expression and tone, said, "The buyer’s information isn’t something we can disclose just because we want to. But since Mrs. Lu, you are so eager to know, I might as well give you a piece of information: The buyer is a woman."

A woman...

Song Qiao frowned immediately. How was this answer any different from not saying anything?

...

On the highway, Lu Jingchen was driving at a speed of 180 km/h. Fortunately, there weren’t too many cars on the highway late at night.

From the villa to the West Suburb, it took him less than twenty minutes.

When Lu Jingchen arrived at the exact location shown by the coordinates on his phone, he found only the car, with nobody inside.

Standing outside the car, the man furrowed his brows and shouted around, "Qiaoqiao..."

However, after calling several times, there was only the sound of the wind in response, with no reply at all. Lu Jingchen immediately understood that Song Qiao wasn’t there, but she might be somewhere nearby.

As he was about to return to his car, suddenly, gunshots rang in his ears.

His footsteps froze on the spot. Initially, he thought he might be hearing things, but then a second and third gunshot followed.

Lu Jingchen immediately started running in a direction.

...

Song Qiao’s face was very pale, shielded behind Chu Munan, her breath getting erratic, completely frightened.

It hadn’t been so dangerous earlier, but perhaps there was a traitor among them or something. The leader initially wanted to take her somewhere else to deal with her.

But somehow, someone on their side first pulled out a gun and aimed it at her.

If not for Chu Munan’s quick reflexes, pulling her aside, she would have been shot dead by now. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Then those people, seeing how agile Chu Munan was, drew their guns one after another, shooting at the two of them.

The people hiding in the dark to protect her came out one by one, but didn’t expect those people to have guns too. From childhood, Song Qiao had never experienced what a gunfight was, only seen it on TV, and real guns she had only seen on special police officers.

So right now, Song Qiao was genuinely terrified.

Lu Jingchen shielded Song Qiao in his arms, hiding behind a low wall.

The man peeked out his head, his eyes sharp and filled with killing intent as he looked across.

Retracting his gaze, his eyes fell on Song Qiao, and Chu Munan earnestly said, "Qiaoqiao, they have guns and we don’t have anything, so no matter what happens, don’t go out. Remember to protect yourself. If you find a chance, run away, keep running forward and leave, don’t come back, understand?"

His observations always keen, he sensed a car approaching and suspected it was accomplices to those people.

Song Qiao, hearing this, regained her composure slightly, her gaze falling on Chu Munan’s handsome face, her once listless eyes blinked, and with a slightly hoarse voice, she asked, "What about you?"

"Those are my good brothers’ people, I can’t leave them alone. Qiaoqiao... It’s enough for you to leave safely. As for Lu Jingchen’s mother, I’ll find a way to get her rescued."

After Chu Munan finished speaking, footsteps approaching them were heard, instantly heightening his alertness. He put a finger to his lips, signaling Song Qiao to not speak.

Song Qiao quickly quieted down, as she too heard footsteps approaching, making her tense like a tightened string, even breathing cautiously.

The footsteps got closer, pausing for about ten seconds before continuing towards them.

Song Qiao clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, biting her lip, her eyes wide open in fear, listening to the approaching footsteps. Her tension grew, sweat forming in her palms from nerves.

Just as the footsteps were about to reach them, Chu Munan suddenly leaped out unexpectedly and tackled the person.

Song Qiao was stunned, then stood up to see Chu Munan already wrestling with the person.

Chu Munan shouted at Song Qiao in a spare moment, "Qiaoqiao, run, keep running ahead, don’t look back, leave here..."

Listening to him, Song Qiao’s body stiffened, her eyes reddened, and in the next second tears rolled down her cheeks. She kept shaking her head.

Evidently, the opponent was not ordinary either. Chu Munan had excellent skills, yet in the fight against this person, they were evenly matched.

Chu Munan kicked the person away who immediately toppled aside. He then immediately told Song Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, be good, run quickly. If you’re here, I’ll get distracted, hurry!"

Song Qiao’s face was wet with tears. She gazed deeply at Chu Munan, gritting her teeth, "Then you must take care of yourself, Chu Munan. Make sure nothing happens to you. I’ll find someone to rescue you right away..."

"Alright."

Upon hearing his reply, Song Qiao finally turned and ran into the darkness.

Everything was pitch black around her, even the path ahead was indistinguishable, but Song Qiao ran forward continuously, her face already covered in tears.

Chu Munan, nothing should happen to you, I’ll find help to rescue you.

Please, be safe.

"Qiaoqiao..."

After running a considerable distance, unaware of how far she had gone, a familiar voice suddenly reached her ears, stopping Song Qiao in her tracks. She looked around.

It was Lu Jingchen...

That was Lu Jingchen’s voice.

Everything was dark around her, and having stopped, Song Qiao suddenly felt scared, exclaiming hurriedly, "Jingchen... where are you?"

Suddenly, rapid footsteps came from behind, getting closer. Turning back quickly, expecting it was Lu Jingchen, in the next moment her mouth was covered, she smelled a fragrance, and immediately lost consciousness, fainting.
