Coback? Wu Chengzu didn’t like this idiom; it no longer held any aning for him.
Wu Chengzu sneered, looking sarcastically at Yao Zhiqing, "Do you think we still have a chance?"
Yao Zhiqing nodded, "Yes, of course, we do! We still have money, lots of money. We can live worry-free days in T Country, and once this storm passes, I can start all over again!"
Suddenly, Wu Chengzu felt powerless and indifferently removed Yao Zhiqing’s hand resting on his arm, "Call them back, we’ll set off overnight."
Having said that, Wu Chengzu turned and went to the room where Bai Yiran had been kept. He sat on her bed, where her traces and scent lingered. Wu Chengzu’s rough hands stroked the surface one by one, and his eyes unexpectedly reddened.
He knew that Bai Yiran would never fall in love with him in this lifeti; he was already prepared to be hated by her for a lifeti. But even if it’s hate, he didn’t care. As long as this person was by his side, he no longer wished for her heart.
It seed, after all, it was just his wishful thinking.
Soon, those thugs were called back by Yao Zhiqing, and everyone started packing their things, preparing to leave overnight.
Wu Jingjing, who was asleep, was woken up by Wu Chengzu. It wasn’t until she got in the car that Wu Jingjing asked Wu Chengzu, "Dad, where is Aunt Yi Ran?"
Wu Chengzu looked at Wu Jingjing’s eyes, which were beginning to clear, and said lightly, "She’s dead."
Wu Jingjing’s eyes widened in disbelief, "She was fine during the day, how could she be dead?" She knew that Bai Yiran was kidnapped by her dad, and she could tell Bai Yiran resented her dad. But everyone seed fine, how could soone suddenly die? She didn’t believe it, "I don’t believe it! Where’s Aunt Yi Ran really? Did this woman hide her!"
Wu Jingjing angrily pointed at Yao Zhiqing, who was innocently caught in the crossfire but couldn’t argue with a child at this ti.
"Wu Jingjing!" Wu Chengzu grabbed the slightly hysterical Wu Jingjing, saying coldly, "Just think of her as dead."
After that, no matter how much Wu Jingjing asked, Wu Chengzu never answered her again. The car slowly started, heading towards the vast land behind the house, eventually disappearing into the night.
Bai Yiran couldn’t find her way and didn’t dare to wander aimlessly, so she hid inside a tree hollow, planning to find her way out after dawn.
She didn’t dare to sleep, carefully listening and observing the movents outside. She knew it wouldn’t be long before Wu Chengzu discovered she had escaped and would definitely send soone up the mountain to look for her. She was afraid of being caught again, for then she would never get out.
That night, she endured pain and cold, feeling terror and dread, everything tornting her, driving her to the brink of collapse.
Finally, dawn began to break. From midnight to daylight was just a few hours, but to Bai Yiran, it felt like a century, with every minute and second being pure agony.
Bai Yiran moved her arm, just about to crawl out of the tree hollow, when she heard footsteps approaching from afar.
She was startled and quickly shrank back, beginning to tremble uncontrollably. She covered her mouth with her hand, preventing any sound from escaping and even holding her breath.
The footsteps grew closer, accompanied by the jingle of tal.
She wasn’t sure if the people outside were Wu Chengzu’s n. It was broad daylight, and if Wu Chengzu’s people discovered her now, she wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.
Soon, two figures walked past Bai Yiran’s tree hollow. She froze, then, excitedly, quickly ran out of the tree hollow.
"Wait a minute!"
