Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Did you see anyone?”

Fang Qiu paused for a moment.

Then, she said with a puzzled look, “No, I didn’t.”

“Okay.”

The security guard did not have time to question her any further. Losing sight of Li Ran was already a big deal.

Cui Chong came soon after.

He pushed the door of the abandoned room open and entered. Cui Chong saw Li Ran making a gesture of some sort.

She was so focused that the sudden sound of the door opening gave her a fright.

When she saw that it was Cui Chong, Li Ran immediately stood up and clasped the iron ball in her hand.

She quickly said, “You want to use this room? Then I’ll leave.”

Li Ran hastily walked out. She had a bad feeling that something would happen.

However, Cui Chong darted forward and grabbed Li Ran’s arm.

Li Ran instantly panicked and reflexively covered her stomach. She was afraid that she would fall over and hurt the baby.

Cui Chong saw this as an opportunity to take advantage of her.

He covered Li Ran’s mouth with a cloth that he had prepared earlier.

Li Ran’s eyes widened and she kicked Cui Chong with her right foot!

When Cui Chong tried to dodge her attack, the cloth in his hand fell to the ground.

There was a very strong smell coming from the cloth.

Li Ran had already inhaled whatever it was.

She glared at Cui Chong angrily and asked, “What was that?!”

Cui Chong smiled sinisterly.

“You’re smart, so you should know. It’s nothing. I just want to weaken you. By the way, feel free to shout all you want.”

Cui Chong then mouthed another three words, “I’m not afraid.”

Li Ran’s eyes darkened when she looked at the door. There were two men guarding it.

She did not know when the drug would take effect.

So, she had to escape as soon as possible!

She might lose her life!

Li Ran clutched the iron ball in her hand.

Meanwhile, Cui Chong got close to her and grabbed her waist.

He buried his head into Li Ran’s neck and took a deep breath.

Then, he muttered to himself, “I didn’t expect you to smell so good.”

Li Ran did not care about what Cui Chong was doing.

However, her eyes were filled with shock and confusion!

She could not enter the mysterious space!

…

When Li Hui found Lin Nan, he was reading a message sent by the receptionist at the entrance. This had become his daily routine. His most important task was to read all the feedback. Whenever someone entered the safety base, he would check their names.

Lin Nan desperately wanted to see Li Ran’s name.

However, he never did.

Li Hui rushed to him and shouted excitedly, “Brother Nan, I saw a person who looked exactly like Li Ran! Do you want to go and take a look?”

She did not mention that this person’s name was Li Tao.

If she did, Lin Nan might not want to see her.

Lin Nan stood up from his chair.

He promptly asked Li Hui, “Where is she?”

“I asked a security guard to keep track of her. He only told me a rough idea of the direction. Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Lin Nan kept asking Li Hui questions on the way, such as what did she look like.

This was the first time Li Hui had ever spoken so much to Lin Nan.

It was also the only time that Lin Nan talked about anything other than work.

Li Hui felt that she had done the right thing, but she did not expect the security guard to lose sight of her.

Lin Nan was breathing rapidly because of how fast he was walking. It made Li Hui nervous. She was afraid that they might not find Li Ran.

Suddenly, a woman’s scream could be heard.

It was filled with anger.

Hearing the scream gave Li Hui a scare. She looked in the direction where the sound was coming from.

Just as she was about to turn her head towards Lin Nan, he had already rushed over like a wild horse!

Li Hui followed closely behind.

‘Could it be that Li Ran was in danger?

‘This voice…’

As Lin Nan ran, he bumped into a woman.

It was Fang Qiu.

She was shocked to see Lin Nan and screamed again.

Her sharp voice was just as loud as before.

After seeing her, Lin Nan stopped in an instant. Although there was a difference in voice, it could be the distance between them…

The woman in front of him cried and sat on the ground without saying a word.

Li Hui finally caught up with Lin Nan and she was panting. She was not physically fit. Li Hui was never a person who enjoyed exercising.

“Ah!!!!! I’m so angry!!!”

Fang Qiu plucked up some weeds beside her and threw them to the ground!

She was extremely angry!

“Why!”

She did not understand! The person who was supposed to destroy Li Tao was her. Not Cui Chong! Just why?!

Her entire life was in shambles!

“Li Tao! I hate you! I hate you to death!!!”
