Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

As the night deepened, the sky slowly spread out like a huge black velvet. The moon tonight seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist, appearing a little hazy and mysterious. Its light shone through the mist and sprinkled on the earth, casting a soft and blurred glow on everything around it.

Under the moonlight, the vision became very dim. The scenery in the distance gradually blurred, leaving only some vague outlines. The lights on the street seemed particularly weak, as if they would be swallowed by the endless darkness at any time. There was a silent atmosphere in the air, and only the steady and powerful footsteps and gentle conversations could be heard from time to time in the corridor.

The two groups of people stationed there patrolled closely and competed with each other.

Xu Meir read the data of 736 and used the ability to stop time, but it could only stop time for a maximum of 2 minutes. Any longer and it would not be able to block the snooping of the main system.

She climbed down from the second-floor window using the bed sheet that had been tied up long ago. Fortunately, she was very light now and the bed sheet could fully bear her weight.

As soon as she landed on the ground, she ran as fast as she could to where Lu Qingheng was. There were far more guards there than her. She calculated the time, and when there were only ten seconds left, she dodged and hid in a half-closed room.

The room was pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, as if swallowed by endless darkness. Not a single ray of light came in, making one feel as if they were in a completely enclosed space.

Xu Meir held her breath and stood quietly for a while. She didn't hear any breathing sounds, so she thought there must be no one in the room. She carefully took out the lighter she had received from the guard, and "click!" a faint light came on.

There was indeed no one in the room, but there were wrinkles on the bed sheets and some personal belongings were placed around, which meant someone was living here!

Xu Meir reacted quickly. She used her height advantage to crawl under the bed, which completely covered her.

She did not sleep and remained highly alert. Time passed minute by minute. About half an hour later, a slight sound reached her keen ears - it was a steady and firm sound of footsteps. From the rhythm and strength of the footsteps, she immediately determined that this was definitely not an ordinary person, but most likely a strong adult man!

The adult men here are most likely guards, and each of the guards stationed here is extremely skilled.

Xu Meir breathed in small sips, trying not to make any sound. She could no longer use time standstill today. Once the main system was used, her position would be monitored, and she would undoubtedly be exposing her weakness to it. Then, everything would be over.

She was ready to attack, but with her current small body it was like hitting a rock with an egg. She pursed her lips, secretly hoping that she would not be discovered.

The man turned on the light, took off his clothes and threw them on the bed, then walked forward without stopping.

After a while, the sound of water spraying was heard.

He was taking a shower, and Xu Meir breathed a sigh of relief. She hesitated briefly between continuing to hide here and taking the opportunity to slip away, but quickly decided to continue hiding here.

If she guessed correctly, this should be the time when the guards changed shifts. There must be a lot of guards walking outside, entering and leaving the room. Although it was dangerous to hide here, it was even more dangerous to go out.

The man took a shower and lay down on the bed. The moment he lay down, the bed shook. Xu Meir inferred that he should be a tall man.

"Beep, beep, beep" he was dialing the phone.

"Your Highness." His voice was particularly respectful.

"Yes, it's the same as before. He didn't say anything useful. Yes, we have no way to get close to him, and the same goes for the Lu family."

"The maids just put the food at the door, so they had no chance to come into contact with him. The food was always checked by both of us, so it was impossible for someone to pass on the message privately."

"Well, yes, he kept thinking about that kid."

"Yes, I won't let them meet."

"I must complete the order!"

There was another long period of silence, and Xu Meir guessed that he had hung up the phone.

Hearing the sound of even breathing, Xu Meir felt relieved and began to think carefully about the phone call just now.

Anyone who can be called His Royal Highness is undoubtedly a member of the royal family. It is normal for the royal guards to report their work to the royal family, but Xu Meir felt that this matter was a bit unusual.

Thinking of everything that happened in prison, she unconsciously connected the two things together. Could it be that the royal family wanted to target Lu Qingheng? But, why?

Lu Yi himself is the richest man in the empire. The Lu family has countless collaborations with the royal family. The two can even be said to be inseparable. If it were just a simple business conflict, it would be understandable, but the seventh princess, who has always been favored by the royal family, is about to marry Lu Yi.

Logically speaking, the relationship between the Lu family and the royal family should have been taken to a higher level. Could the so-called marriage be a conspiracy?

It turned out that, unknown to her, the young man had endured so much silently.
