In terms of escape experience, how could Hao Rong compare to Luo Yirui and Jing Changle? If it weren’t for him being a bit older, he might have lost them. Fortunately, he kept up, and the two of them twisted and turned, quickly shaking off those people.
Having shaken off those people, Luo Yirui and the others found a place to stay.
It was soone else’s backyard, unoccupied at the front but seemingly only temporarily. At the back, there was a particularly small utility room, with so tools inside. There were two small windows, and the door outside was locked.
The three of them climbed in through a small window, which couldn’t be seen from the outside, making it quite concealed.
The weather here gets quite cool at night, but not too cold, so if the three of them huddled together, they’d be just fine.
The utility room’s windows were quite high and very small, square-shaped. If the three weren’t so young, they wouldn’t even be able to squeeze through.
Luo Yirui jumped up, grabbing onto the small window fra to look out. It was past eleven, and you could still hear the bustling noise from the distant streets, but this area was very quiet.
On the other side, Jing Changle also jumped up to grab the window and look out, then ca down and nodded at Luo Yirui.
Luo Yirui jumped down as well, ca over to Hao Rong, and asked, "What’s going on, making yourself look so bedraggled?"
Hao Rong’s face was still quite unsightly. Anyone going through such an ordeal would feel uneasy. Hearing Luo Yirui’s question made him look a bit strange, especially the way he looked at him.
"How did you know my bodyguard was problematic?" Hao Rong was still in disbelief. If Luo Yirui hadn’t given him that powerful dicine powder, he might have fallen into the other’s hands by now.
"When I was borrowing a phone, his couldn’t make calls at all. He probably thought I didn’t understand, so he didn’t beco suspicious," Luo Yirui said.
This was also why he was so eager to get off the car. He was afraid the bodyguard, anxious about him, would bind him up as well.
Hao Rong’s expression remained strange, "You really figured it out by yourself?" After asking, he felt his question was odd. If he hadn’t figured it out, could he have been in cahoots with them? "What about that bag of dicine powder? It’s the sa kind that numbed my arm last ti, isn’t it? Really powerful!"
At the ntion of this, his eyes lit up. In the chaos, he had tossed the powder, and it landed right on the bodyguard and driver trying to grab him, covering their faces.
With that, the two of them seed numbed, unable to control their expressions, and they soon collapsed. Except for their eyes, they couldn’t move the rest of their bodies, and even their consciousness seed hazy, like they were under anesthesia.
Full-body anesthesia!
"How much more of that powder do you have? I’ll buy it all!" Hao Rong, suddenly excited, shook off his earlier dejectedness. With this powder, he could strut around boldly in school!
Luo Yirui rolled his eyes, too lazy to respond.
Seeing Luo Yirui’s indifference, Hao Rong habitually wanted to act tough to scare him. But he quickly realized that even though Luo Yirui was much younger, he was not soone he could handle, especially with that powder; he didn’t want a repeat of that.
Reacting quickly, Hao Rong imdiately put on a smiling face, "Brother, I an it. Whatever the cost, I can afford it."
Luo Yirui lowered his eyelids, drawing randomly on the ground, "First tell what’s really going on."
Hao Rong suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "I initially didn’t suspect anything. Your comnt made wary, and later I found it odd—the so-called expert didn’t exist. When I realized it, those two were already planning to capture ."
Luo Yirui listened quietly, making Hao Rong too embarrassed to stop talking.
"My aunt is indeed sick, and my house has been quite chaotic recently. My dad sent out, but he’d never assign such a tough task to if it wasn’t urgent. Soone must have deceived him with so excuse to control and threaten my parents."
This is all Hao Rong could think of; otherwise, his father, who adored him so much, wouldn’t have knowingly sent him into danger.
"Do you know why they want to capture you?" Luo Yirui asked.
Hao Rong thought for a mont and shook his head, "Probably for profit. Maybe my dad is about to sign a big contract, and soone wants to snatch it using this thod. This isn’t the first ti."
Luo Yirui seed a bit disappointed. He didn’t know exactly what to investigate, but he felt that these people were from Jiang City, capable of providing so clues about his mom.
"Oh, right, I suddenly rembered sothing. My aunt fell ill, so my dad invited many so-called folk experts to treat her. These experts had their factions. Could this have sothing to do with them?"
After all, failing to cure would damage their reputation, so perhaps they didn’t want others to succeed? But this can’t be. The experts in Ningjin County didn’t exist, so this possibility is moot...
Hao Rong stopped mid-sentence, having negated his own theory.
"By the way, is your mom familiar with Young Master Zhan?" When Hao Rong ntioned this, he recalled because so of those folk experts were recomnded by Zhan Hongjun, for which his dad was quite proud since it’s not easy to befriend Young Master Zhan.
"Not really familiar; the man insisted on inviting my mom to a party." Luo Yirui was indifferent to Zhan Hongjun, speaking casually.
But Hao Rong heard it differently. Did it sound like Zhan Hongjun was begging his mom to attend the party?
Was this kid exaggerating on purpose?
"Don’t get cocky now. Who is Young Master Zhan? He’s the mayor’s son. Who do you think your mom is for him to beg for a party invitation?" Hao Rong found it hard to believe, but recalling Luo Yirui’s dicine powder made him unsure.
Luo Yirui paused, asking, puzzled, "What’s it matter that he’s the mayor’s son?"
The mayor’s son still lags behind the governor’s son, and it’s not like this is a city like Beijing. He’s never seen Uncle Tianji boast about such things.
Hao Rong gave Luo Yirui a thumbs up, "Brother, in terms of acting cool, I’ve got a long way to go to match you. You’re so calm, not even considering the mayor’s son at all, who’s soone even my dad wants to associate with!"
Just then, Jing Changle suddenly signaled for silence. The two stopped talking, and soon after, they heard footsteps outside and then so whispered conversations.
The voices, one male and one female, soon led to sounds that made one blush. Only Hao Rong looked sowhat excited, flushed, while Jing Changle and Luo Yirui appeared puzzled and curious.
