After the heavy rain, the sky had been washed clean. The air was especially fresh, and the stars hanging in the night sky seemed to be brighter than usual.
Ji Rou sat in the rattan rocking chair on the balcony and looked up at the stars in the sky in a daze, her mind thinking of a way to escape.
This villa did not have any television, computers, or any communication equipment. It completely cut off her contact with the outside world.
She had been here for five days now, and she had not heard from anyone outside for a full five days. Her heart was getting more and more flustered every day.
She wondered what had happened to the company her father had worked so hard to build. I wonder how my mother is doing in her hospital bed.
She was afraid that by the time she escaped, the Ji family would have taken over the company her father had left her. She was even more afraid that her mother's illness would not be treated in time.
No!
Ji Rou wiped the tears that were about to fall from the corner of her eyes and suddenly sat up.
She was Ji Rou, the daughter of the founder of Qianshui Company, Ji Houkun. Her father had died accidentally and her mother was in bed.
No matter how dirty and despicable the Ji Family people were, she could not just sit there and wait for death. She had to think of another way to protect Qianshui Company, and even more so, take good care of her mother for her father.
Only, in order to protect the Qianshui Company, they had to escape from this place first, but leaving this place was easier said than done.
This morning, she had escaped from the trunk of the car, only to be discovered a few miles away and caught without incident.
She couldn't use the method of escaping from the trunk of the car, so she had to think of another way.
These few days, she had carefully observed the villa's topography. This villa was a three-storey villa with a small yard, and it didn't take up too much space.
When she observed, she found that the villa was co
ected closely to the one next to hers, and could climb directly to the roof next door.
Wait ??
What did she think of?
She could climb straight to the bottom of the building next door from the top of this villa. So she could flip to the next building before thinking of a way to escape?
Ji Rou clapped excitedly. Why didn't she think of this idea earlier?
She had always been an activist, and she wanted to do it.
Ji Rou returned to her room, rummaged through the entire wardrobe, and finally found a set of black clothes. She quickly changed into it, preparing to run away.
Her room was on the third floor, and the moment she turned left, it would be the staircase to the top floor. Under such circumstances, Ji Rou didn't disturb anyone and smoothly reached the top of the building.
There were some flowers and plants on the roof, Ji Rou was not in the mood to admire them, with a flick of her fingers, she flipped to the roof of the house next door.
Strangely enough, the door to the building next door was unlocked, and she managed to sneak into someone else's house.
Charging into someone's house in the middle of the night, although she did not know who this family was, Ji Rou was still a little panicked. She leaned on the wall and quietly took a few deep breaths.
Right now, she only hoped that the family wouldn't find her.
"Plop ~ ~ ~"
She dared not turn on the light. It was dark in the corridor, and she had only taken a few steps when she stumbled and sprained her ankle. She fell with a thud to the ground.
"Aiyo!"
The floor was so hard that her bones nearly broke from the fall, but she didn't even dare to make a sound.
She laid on the ground and steadied herself. Just as she was about to get up, a pair of slippers appeared in front of her.
To be more precise, it was a man's feet.
Damn it, I've been discovered!
Ji Rou wailed as she covered her eyes, pretending that no one else could see her.
After a while, no sound came from above her head, Ji Rou thought that she had seen wrongly, and quietly opened her eyes to take a peek, but the feet in front of him were still there.
She lay on her stomach and looked up. From her feet up, she saw two long legs.
The man's legs were long, and her gaze moved up slowly. It took her a long time to see his face, but there was no light, so she couldn't see clearly.
"That ??" Ji Rou's eyes turned and she had an idea, "I accidentally passed through here, if I'm not careful enough, I would have fallen on the roof of your house, do you believe me?"
The man didn't answer.
Ji Rou endured the pain coming from his feet and crawled up using the wall. Borrowing the moonlight, she finally saw his face.
It was a beautiful face. It couldn't be said to enchant a woman so much, but it definitely had the charm of a man. However, its expression was ugly and gloomy, as if it wanted to eat someone.
"Sorry to disturb you!" She smiled at him and spoke to him in the tone of a friend she had known for a long time.
The man still didn't answer her, but he pointed anyway.
"Oh, thank you. You're such a good person." Ji Rou squeezed out the sweetest smile in her life, "I'll be taking my leave now."
"Hiss ??" The moment she took a step forward, her ankle was so painful that it made her gasp.
Damn it, now that she had sprained her ankle, how was she to escape?
Is this what people often say about a house miss being in the middle of a rainy night?
However, in order to escape, he could only grit his teeth and endure the pain. She walked down the stairs, holding on to the wall, every step giving her a piercing pain.
"Miss from another world, do you need me to send you out?" Behind him, the man's deep and powerful voice was like the sound of nature.
"Can I?" Happiness came too suddenly. Ji Rou was so happy that she even forgot the adage of life, "Then I'll be troubling you."
She really did dare!
Qin Yinze looked at her without batting an eyelid. Under the moonlight, his eyes were as bright as a pool of autumn water.
"Everyone split up and search. Try not to make any noise. Don't wake Mister up."
Ji Rou's familiar voice came from the nearby room. It was that Chu Yuan who had spoken.
F * ck!
They're not sleeping in the middle of the night?
It seemed that he wouldn't be able to escape now. He had to think of a way to stay here until he escaped the limelight.
If he wanted to stay, of course, it was with the consent of the family's owner.
Ji Rou rubbed his eyes, his eyes turning red as she forced out two drops of tears: "Sir, I haven't eaten for a few days, can you give me something to eat before I leave? "Don't worry, I'll pay for how much I've eaten."
Seeing that he was not convinced, Ji Rou quickly touched her pockets in an attempt to find the money, but was unable to find even a single coin.
"Sir, I travelled so suddenly that I forgot to bring money in my pocket. "But I can write a promissory note, I will definitely return the money to you in the future." The situation was so awkward but Ji Rou didn't feel awkward at all, because she was thick-ski
ed.
Then, to make her pity more real, she sniffed and squeezed two more tears. If she could, she wanted to ask him for some money, some protection.
Qin Yinze looked at her without batting an eyelid.
The performance was really good.
It was even better than what was written in the information.
He wanted to see what else she could do.
