After Xiao Li entered the villa with the children, she felt a lingering fear when recalling the scene just now. What if that shot hadn’t hit the wall but hit them instead?
Thinking of this, Xiao Li imdiately checked on the two children’s condition. She first glanced at Little Li, who was in her arms, and seeing that he was fine, handed him over to Aunt Wu, who had co to investigate the noise.
Then she pulled Mianmian over to examine her, "Mianmian, are you okay?"
As Xiao Li spoke, she looked Mianmian over head to toe.
Mianmian shook her head, "Mom, I’m fine!"
After saying this, she broke free from Xiao Li’s hand and tried to run off to play.
Xiao Li was unsure of the situation outside. It wasn’t necessarily safe inside the villa either, so she held Mianmian tight, not letting her go, and they stood at the entrance listening quietly.
Mianmian wanted to go play but was held back by Xiao Li, asking in confusion, "Mom, why are we standing here?"
The bullet had directly hit the wall, so Mianmian had no idea what had happened.
In her mind, it was just a loud noise that had occurred, and now there was no sound at all!
Xiao Li didn’t explain, just held her there listening for any sound outside.
Qin Zilong felt dood because after he returned to B City, soone had found out that Xiao Yan had also co to B City.
He had been searching for Xiao Yan’s whereabouts ever since, and just earlier, they discovered the car Xiao Yan had abandoned at the foot of the mountain.
When Qin Zilong saw the mountain’s location, he beca suspicious and sent soone to search the mountain while he led others to the villa.
Just as he reached the entrance to the villa area, he heard gunshots, which frightened him...
My God, please don’t let anything happen!
Qin Zilong floored the accelerator, stopping the car in front of the villa within monts. Seeing the people guarding the villa and those searching in the dense woods, Qin Zilong knew the gunshots had indeed co from this area.
Qin Zilong got out of the car and quickly approached the villa door, "Are the Young Madam, Young Master, and Miss alright?"
The person guarding the door said, "They’re fine. The shot missed and hit the wall."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zilong quickly went to look at the bullet in the wall, from which he could tell it was fired from a handgun.
Qin Zilong asked, "How many shots were fired?"
Having just arrived, Qin Zilong was unsure if there had been any shots before he got there.
"One shot."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zilong breathed a slight sigh of relief, "I’ll go in and see the Young Madam."
Saying this, Qin Zilong entered the villa. Inside, Xiao Li saw Qin Zilong and quickly asked, "Qin Zilong, was it Xiao Yan?"
Qin Zilong shook his head, "I’m not sure, we haven’t caught anyone yet.
But I think it’s highly likely, because earlier, I found the car she drove into B City at the foot of the mountain ahead."
Hearing this, Xiao Li nodded, "So she’s hiding in the dense forest ahead, right?"
Qin Zilong nodded, "Yes."
Xiao Li lowered her head in deep thought, "Finding soone in the dense forest would be a bit difficult."
Xiao Li glanced at the children, asking Aunt Wu to take them down to play first. At this ti, Xiao Yan would be busy hiding, so they were safe for the ti being.
Xiao Li was about to invite Qin Zilong to the living room to talk, but the phone rang.
The call was from Qin’s mother, who had also heard the gunshots at ho and was concerned about Xiao Li, wondering if they had arrived ho safely.
With gunshots outside and the situation unknown, Qin’s mother didn’t dare venture out to check, so she called to confirm.
Xiao Li answered the phone, assuring that they were okay, without ntioning that the gunshots were aid at her, feeling that explaining over the phone would be too complicated.
Since Qin’s mother hadn’t gone out to see, she didn’t know where exactly the shots ca from.
After hanging up, Xiao Li intended to bring Qin Zilong to the living room for a detailed discussion, but more people arrived outside; it was the security from the villa area who had rushed over after hearing the gunshots, and Xiao Li had to go out and handle it.
It wasn’t long before the police arrived, and Xiao Li directly ntioned Xiao Yan’s situation. Learning that Xiao Yan was a fugitive, the B City police imdiately contacted the C City Police Station.
With all this going on, the number of people outside the villa greatly increased, including both family bodyguards and police officers standing guard.
The commotion alerted Qin’s mother, who ca to the villa, and shortly after, Qin’s father also arrived.
Inside the villa, Xiao Li explained the situation with Xiao Yan to Qin’s father and mother, omitting the details from the past life.
Upon hearing this, Qin’s father asked Qin Zilong, "You’ve been investigating her for so long, haven’t you found out who helped her escape?
Is she alone now, or does she have help?"
Qin Zilong replied, "We’ve found out who was helping her. When she broke out this ti, all her supporters were exposed. Now, besides us, even Evil Shark, whom she tricked, is sending people to find her.
I guess she is alone now. She survived before by relying on Evil Shark, but she burned that bridge when she escaped, so she shouldn’t have any support now."
Qin’s father nodded, "Without backing, this person is even more dangerous.
When a person reaches the end of their rope, they’re bound to act desperately.
We must find her quickly."
Qin Zilong said, "Our people and the police are searching, but the woods around the neighborhood connect to other mountains, so if she’s hiding between them, it will be hard to find her."
Qin’s father nodded, "Zilong, gather more people..."
"Dad, I have an idea."
Qin’s father was about to call for more people to search the woods when Xiao Li interrupted him.
She calmly stated, "Dad, Xiao Yan is after . If she becos desperate, she’ll undoubtedly co for .
Since she’s going to target no matter what, we should draw her out sooner."
Qin’s father looked at Xiao Li, "You intend to use yourself as bait to lure her out?"
Xiao Li shook her head, "Yes, I know if I do this, Uncle will be furious when he returns.
But Xiao Yan escaped from prison, and rather than fleeing, she’s obsessed with finding . If we don’t give her a chance to get close, it might not work.
I’m also afraid she’ll escape. She’s flexible enough to recognize there’s no chance to approach anymore, she might just flee.
If we truly let her flee, there will be a ticking ti bomb, and we won’t know when it will explode.
Especially since she’s a madwoman. Today the shot missed, but what if it didn’t? Would it hit or the children?
I’m not afraid of putting myself in danger, but I can’t risk Mianmian and Little Li."
Hearing this, Qin’s father looked at Xiao Li, "What do you plan to do?"
Determined, Xiao Li said, "I’ll openly act as bait, creating an opportunity that makes Xiao Yan think she can get close to .
Those protecting will stay hidden."
Qin Zilong imdiately objected, "No, Cousin-in-law, you know that’s too dangerous.
The Second Young Master will skin alive if I let this happen. Cousin-in-law, trust , I’ll find that crazy woman."
That’s a joke, if he dared to let his cousin-in-law be the bait, he would definitely be skinned alive by Qin Xiao!
