Everything settled, An Yan once again took out an Acupuncture Needle.
At tis like this, she truly loved these disposable Acupuncture Needles. She didn’t even mind throwing them away!
Mu Enyu’s heart leaped again, and she clenched her fists. If she weren’t afraid of distracting An Yan, she felt she could transform into a cheerleader and shout encouragent.
Suddenly, her hand was grasped.
Mu Enyu turned her head and saw Liang Chen.
He smiled at her. "It’ll be fine. What we need to do now is not let our imaginations run wild, but conserve our strength. When the opportunity arises, we’ll seize it imdiately."
"Oh."
Mu Enyu nodded, her face flushing slightly. In that instant, all fear and worry vanished. Her entire attention was focused on the hand Liang Chen held.
Luolie, Wen Ya, and Wen Ge were treating their wounds. If An Yan hadn’t forbidden it, the three of them could have escorted her out, even if they had to charge through a hail of bullets.
An Yan had also seen their determination and stopped them. She couldn’t let Mu Enyu and Liang Chen be sacrificed here. Without the assurance of saving everyone, she would rather be captured and then find another way out.
The silver Acupuncture Needles flew out again.
CRACK!
The surveillance cara was hit. It flashed twice, and the screen dissolved into static.
「...」
"Truly impressive!"
The masked man stared at the dark monitor, not expecting An Yan to possess such skills. She actually managed to destroy the surveillance cara! Heh. But so what if the surveillance cara was destroyed? There were guards outside, and the house itself was absolutely solid—it wouldn’t budge even if bombarded with a cannon.
An Yan herself was a little surprised to have hit the target on her first try!
Mu Enyu, her little fangirl, imdiately cheered, "Sister Yan is aweso! Sister Yan is the best! Go, Sister Yan!! I love you, love you, love you!!!"
Everyone: "..."
Wen Ya and Wen Ge exchanged glances, wondering if they should cheer too. But it felt a little embarrassing. The two sisters lowered their heads simultaneously and continued wrapping bandages around their wrists.
After destroying the cara on one side, An Yan repeated the process, making another oblique cut on the other wall. Then she flicked out another Acupuncture Needle.
The other surveillance cara shattered on impact.
Inside the room, An Yan tilted her head, puzzled. She had only intended to use that Acupuncture Needle to test the distance between this cara and the door. She hadn’t expected to hit it in one shot! Was her luck really that good?
"Sister Yan is incredible!!" Mu Enyu, the little fangirl, cheered again.
"Boss, all the surveillance caras on sublevel two have been destroyed. Should we send soone to fix them?" a subordinate asked the masked man cautiously.
The masked man said coldly, "Don’t fix them! You take two trustworthy n and go down there to watch them personally!"
"...Yes."
After destroying the caras, An Yan listened carefully to the sounds outside for a while. Once she was sure no one new was coming, she leaned against the wall and sat down, relieved. Destroying the caras was just the first step. Figuring out how to escape was the most crucial part.
Wen Ya, Wen Ge, and Luolie’s wounds were now bandaged.
"Rest for a while! We’ll wait for an opportunity!" An Yan said.
She didn’t believe their captors wouldn’t send soone to repair the caras. Once there were more people outside, creating noise, she could seize the chance to disable the locks on the security door!
The scalpel spun back and forth between An Yan’s fingers. Her slender, beautiful fingers were as nimble as a mature dancer, and the cold, gleaming scalpel was like a jewel adorning the dancer’s costu.
Mu Enyu was utterly srized! Sister Yan is so amazing!!
Just as she was about to drool, Liang Chen suddenly leaned over and whispered to her, "Enyu, I was just thinking about targeted therapy, which is often used in tumor treatnt. It’s precise and efficient, so..."
As soon as he ntioned the topic, Mu Enyu’s train of thought imdiately followed Liang Chen’s. "In that case, we’d need to..."
The two of them huddled together, discussing in hushed tones.
An Yan, anwhile, was lost in her own world. She couldn’t help but use the Divination Technique, wanting to see what Li Tianyao was doing. Now that he knew she’d been captured, would he obediently stay in Yuncheng, or had he already set off for Shangjing City?She hoped Li Tianyao would listen to her and not co to Shangjing City.
But in reality, Li Tianyao was on a plane at that very mont.
An Yan’s brows furrowed the instant she saw him. The flight from Yuncheng to Shangjing took a little over three hours at most. If she couldn’t let Li Tianyao know she was safe within those three-plus hours, the consequences...
An Yan tried to use the Divination Technique to communicate with him, but it was simply impossible.
An Yan subconsciously reached for her neck. The thumb ring wasn’t there.
Feeling frustrated, she heard new voices from outside. Two security guards were reporting on the situation.
"Everyone back off a little, keep your eyes peeled, and watch the door! Have your weapons ready. If anyone cos out, shoot to kill!"
Mixed in with that voice was an almost imperceptible squeak.
It was Little Squirrel!
An Yan turned her head in shock and activated the Clairvoyance Technique in an instant. Outside the security door, there was a new stainless steel trash can. Little Squirrel was hiding inside it.
As the speaker’s voice faded, Little Squirrel’s squeaks also stopped. This little fellow even knew how to conceal itself; it was truly clever.
An Yan got up and sat beside the door, signaling to Wen Ya.
Wen Ya imdiately shouted, "Can the people outside send us so water? We’re dying of thirst!"
Hearing her voice, soone outside laughed. "Haha! Wang Ge, did you hear that? These people have no awareness that they’re prisoners, yet they’re asking for water? Next, will they ask us to bring them food?"
Wen Ya quickly retorted, "Sure, bring us so food too! Oh, and our young lady is a picky eater. Rember to get food from the Beauty Hotel on Dalla Road in Shangjing City. Our young lady can’t stomach anything else!"
The man outside laughed again. "Are they crazy? They’re actually trying to order takeout..."
While Wen Ya was talking to the people outside, An Yan lowered her voice and whispered to Little Squirrel, "Little guy, listen carefully, I need you to..."
Little Squirrel listened intently, nodding from ti to ti.
After An Yan finished her instructions, she added, "Complete the mission, and you’ll get a pill as a reward!"
Little Squirrel instantly sat up straight, its whole body radiating excitent.
An Yan was now certain it truly understood her. Excellent! Just excellent!
An Yan had always sensed Little Squirrel was quite intelligent. After all, last ti on the show, it had perford every task she’d given it very well. And during the plot against Feng Jingnian, its performance was nothing short of stunning! But this ti, the plan was much more complicated than before. She wondered if it could still handle it.
However, they had no other choice now and had to pin all their hopes on Little Squirrel.
Wen Ya’s conversation with the people outside continued. Suddenly, a CLANG ca from the trash can by the door.
The n outside all looked towards the trash can simultaneously.
"Was there a trash can here before?"
