It wasn't until it was confirmed that Li Jin was asleep that the butler closed the small opening by the door and silently stopped his peeping.

"Take care of the people inside, don't embarrass him, and don't tell him to run away. Report to me if you have anything to do." After instructing the two guards at the door, the butler left the guest room with his hands behind his back.

At the same moment, Li Jin, who was supposed to be sleeping in the room, quietly opened his eyes.

According to the stand-up sweater, the people in the city don't know that they have been brought here.

But now I have no mobile phone to call for help, and no means of transportation to escape, so escaping by myself is simply an impossible task.

How to do?

In the darkness, Li Jin clenched his fists tightly.

Assuming that He Er's normal routine is to get up at seven o'clock, then there is less than three hours left for him to escape.

He had to figure out a way to escape in this limited time, otherwise, he would just sit and wait to die.

Then, since you can't rely on yourself, try to find a way to inform those who can save you.

In a very short time, Li Jin determined two things he had to do:

One, contact the city; two, delay the time so that the rescuers can arrive in time.

When the housekeeper went out, he turned off the lights in the room, but the room was not dark.The courtyard downstairs was brightly lit, and the dazzling light shone through the heavy curtains, making the room dim red.Li Jin turned over pretending to be dreaming, and took advantage of this light to carefully inspect many blind spots in the room, such as under the corner table.

That's fine, no cameras.

He boldly jumped out of bed, walked lightly, rushed to the window a few times, lifted the curtain with two fingers, and looked out.

There are not as many bodyguards here as expected.He remembered that there were even bodyguards patrolling the entrance of the He's Manor in Xishan, but here, let alone patrolling, there were no one standing at the entrance to answer the door.Along the way, according to his preliminary estimation, there are only seven people here, including He Er.

Seven people proved that some things were bound to be impossible due to insufficient manpower.

Li Jin squeezed the curtain tightly and looked out the window again.

The villa is located in the woods, looking from the guest room on the second floor where Li Jin is, there is just a green forest in front.The new wind blew through the gaps in the branches and leaves, making an eerie whimper like a ghost crying.

The so-called certain things include - Li Jin turned his head and looked around as far as his eyes could see - searching for people.

The transportation here is inconvenient, and a large part of the reason is that there are many trees and large forests.Later, the He family took over and deliberately planted a lot around the villa.So much so that when it comes to summer, it is a sea of ​​green and cool.Although it's winter now, there are still many evergreen trees mixed in, which look lush and lush, and it shouldn't be a problem to hide people.

While breathing, an escape plan has already taken shape in Li Jin's mind...

"Did you hear anything?" Outside the door, the bodyguard on the left shrugged his ears and asked his companion.

"What's the sound?" The companion glanced at him impatiently, and suddenly, he was frozen as if someone had cast a spell on him, "Oh, don't tell me, there really...is it inside?"

"Yes." The bodyguard on the left put his ear on the door, and at the same time, a weak cry for help came from inside the door.

"Is anyone there? Help... help..."

"Fuck! What are you doing inside!" He kicked the door hard, and was about to push the door open when his companion stopped him.

"What's wrong?" the companion asked aloud.

"Come on, come on!" Li Jin shouted from the room, "My stomach hurts, please, call me a doctor!"

"Stomach pain?" The bodyguard on the left glanced at his companion and cursed loudly, "Be patient with the stomach pain! Let's talk when the pain dies!"

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then, a weaker call for help than before: "No... I can't take it anymore... Please..."

The left side wanted to scold again, but the companion suddenly gave a "tsk", bowed his head and said, "Stop shouting, go and call the housekeeper."

"You..." Zuo didn't understand.

"What are you, go if you are told to go!" The companion shouted in a low voice, "Have you seen the attitude of the butler towards him? This person is something we can offend? Go!"

The one on the left was enlightened, and after being shocked for three seconds, he didn't dare to breathe, and ran to find someone.

As for the remaining one, he looked around for a long while, fearing that something might happen and he would not be able to bear the responsibility. Unable to withstand Li Jin's repeated calls for help, he took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole.

"Crack...knock..."

Each of the two door bolts seemed to have twisted Li Jin's heart.He held his breath and stared fixedly at the door.One second, two seconds... The time was stretched extremely long by the waiting, and when he held his breath to the limit, the door was finally slowly opened in front of him.

It's now!

Li Jin jumped up, exhausted all his strength, and smashed the white porcelain vase in his hand to the back of the visitor's head.middle!Before the visitor could even see Li Jin's face clearly, he was hit hard to the ground.

The door of the room was wide open, and the light in the corridor illuminated the side of the door.Li Jin squatted down and groped around the man one by one.His mobile phone was not deliberately hidden, but placed generously in his trouser pocket.Li Jin was overjoyed and quickly took it out.

Turning on the screen to dial, his reason told him that he should call He Wenzheng or Jiang Jin at this time, but his body refused to listen, and subconsciously dialed another series of familiar numbers.

At this time... At this time, he should still be abroad...

His fingertips trembled, but the mobile phone, which weighed only a few hundred grams, actually weighed more than a thousand catties in his hand.He could hear clearly from the door, and knew that the butler would come soon, if he didn't take advantage of this gap to leave, he might miss the best time.At such a critical moment, it would be much more meaningful to call Jiang Jin or He Wenzheng who are in the city at the moment.

But so what?

He had pretended to be calm all night, but at this moment, all of them showed their true colors.

Afraid, in fact, he has been afraid.

Because fear doesn't help, I force myself to suppress this useless emotion.But now that the mobile phone is in his hand, this emotion can no longer be suppressed.

Want to hear his voice right away—yes, I know I'm childish.

Want to hear him say something to himself, anything - yes, it really doesn't solve the problem and wastes time.

But I don't care.

How about wasting your thoughts?So what if you can't escape?

If Fate is playing tricks, then tonight, maybe the last time I'll hear his voice.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

After a series of busy sounds, Li Jin stared blankly at the "connecting" on the screen, as if a heavy weight fell from his heart, and as time went by, bit by bit, he fell into the abyss.

Suddenly, the screen changed color.

The phone was connected at the last second before hanging up!

"Hello?" After squatting for too long, his calf was sore and numb. Such a sudden turn of disappointment and surprise made Li Jin tremble, and he knelt down on the ground, "Li Yiheng? Li Yiheng!"

Lowering his voice, his voice trembling, he tried hard to hold back his crying, and called Li Yiheng's name.There seemed to be a response from the other side, but the intermittent "stinging" echo mixed with electric current could not be heard clearly at all.

Impatient, Li Jin yelled again, took the phone from his ear and looked, damn it, there are only two signals here!

"Li Yiheng, can you hear me?" Li Jin covered the receiver, hoping to transmit his voice to the other side, "I...I am now..."

He closed his eyes, and the voice in his ears was intermittent, mixed with a large blank where no signal could be found.

That's good, he thought, that's what he heard.

"Li Yiheng, um, I'm sorry, I was arrested by He Er again." Li Jin put the phone to his ear, and pressed it against the wall, careful not to be found, while lowering his voice, deliberately speaking to the person on the phone in a relaxed tone. Bian reported his situation, "I was taken out of the city by them, and now I am under the banner of He's..."

"Is anyone there? Come!" Just as Li Jin was carefully descending to the bottom of the stairs, suddenly, there was a sullen shout from behind, "Where are all the people dead!"

Li Jin's body shook, he walked lightly and quickly, and carefully retreated to the side of the stairs.

Then, there was a bang on the top of his head, and He Er ran down angrily.

he woke up?

Why is he awake now!

Li Jin poked his head out quietly, and the distance between the two was no more than two or three meters. The crystal chandelier was lit in the living room. Under the lamp, He Er was barefoot, wearing long-distance running pajamas, standing in the middle of the room with his hips akimbo.

"Where are the people! Where are the people! Didn't you hear me!" He cursed loudly, hopping around in the middle of the living room like a child trying to vent his anger.But no matter how much he yelled and made trouble, no one responded in such a big room.

Where have all the servants' bodyguards gone?

At this moment, Li Jin finally realized something was wrong belatedly.

Even though it was late at night, the servants were all going to bed, but the butler was on call 24 hours a day.Besides, He Er's voice was so loud, even a deaf person should have responded when he shouted from upstairs to downstairs.

The only explanation is—the other five people who were supposed to be in this room disappeared inexplicably.

Thinking of this, Li Jin couldn't help shivering.

No wonder I didn't encounter any obstacles all the way down the stairs.

But where did these people go?

The hairs on his back stood on end, Li Jin gritted his teeth, and quietly hid in the shadow of the stairs.

After He Er jumped, he still couldn't find anyone, and he was so angry that he was smoking.When he was angry, he had to vent. If he couldn't find someone to vent, he could only force himself on things.All of a sudden, there was a clatter in the living room, porcelain vases and carved clocks fell to the floor, and none of the high-quality Jun kiln teacups placed on the coffee table were whole.

Li Jin listened with pricked ears, thinking to himself, prodigal, truly prodigal.

After venting, He Er silenced his flag, turned around, and walked upstairs dejectedly.But the moment he turned around, the doorbell rang.

After a pause, he looked back.

The door is unlocked, and you can get in just by pulling the armrest.But the person outside the door seemed to be very strict with etiquette, and he was extremely persistent in ringing the doorbell again and again.He Er seemed to be stunned, maintaining that posture, staring blankly at the door for a while, and then raised his voice and asked, "Jun Xi, is that you?"

No one answered, and in response, another ringtone.

He Er turned around hesitantly, walked over by mistake, tentatively, and opened the door a crack.

"Ashu?"
