Splitting Up

“I’m scared, don’t go…” Perhaps the strange dream of Chen Wei’er was to blame. She couldn’t control her rapid heartbeat. On top of that, the car suddenly stopped in its tracks. Chen Wei’er didn’t forget that it was late at night and they were still on the run. She was even more terrified.

“I’m just going out to take a look. It will be fine.” He Xun found that his wife’s entire body was trembling, but he had no choice. He could only hug Chen Wei’er even tighter to make her feel at ease. Thereafter, he opened the bedroom door with her in his arms.

At this moment, the bodyguards were also woken up by the sudden disturbance. The driver also opened the door of the RV and went out to check. He returned and reported, “President He, the road ahead is blocked. It looks like they’re repairing it.”

The bodyguards were dumbfounded. When they traveled earlier, the road wasn’t being repaired!

He Xun furrowed his brows and thought for a while. “Do you guys know any other routes?”

Everyone shook their heads. There was no internet, and they didn’t have a map to rely on. How could they find their way?

He Xun rolled down the car window and looked around. There were crops in front and behind him, and there was no sign of a town at all. It was difficult to find a place to rest.

“What should we do? President He, if we stop, those people will be able to catch up! I think there’s something suspicious about this road construction. When we came here, we didn’t hear about any road construction project!” The chief’s brows were furrowed so tightly that they were about to form a knot.

“Let’s check if there’s any other way. We’ll take another route.” He Xun hesitated for a moment.

Hearing this, the driver was in a difficult position. “But I don’t know the way.”

“It’s fine. Let’s drive forward first. We’ll ask again once we find a village or town.” He Xun was extremely decisive. They definitely couldn’t stop here at this time. If the locals from Osmanthus Village caught up, they wouldn’t be able to take advantage of them at all. Earlier, they only managed to escape because the residents of Osmanthus Village were not prepared.

Although the people He Xun brought were all professionally trained, there were far too many people from Osmanthus Village. Much worse, they were not familiar with this area. Who knew if the people in Osmanthus village would contact more people? By then…

“Yes!” The driver and the head of the bodyguards nodded. They decided to listen to He Xun.

Seeing that the driver had returned to his seat, He Xun closed the door of the RV. Then, he pressed a button on the wall, and the partition between the inside and the driver’s closed. With this, everyone could see the road ahead. Of course, if the driver became sleepy, the rest could talk to him to divert his attention.

He Xun lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then, he looked at Qin Dandan.

“Reporter Qin, you have met most of the people from Osmanthus Village, and you’re the most knowledgeable. Do you know if there are any cars that can be driven in Osmanthus Village?”

Qin Dandan’s expression was solemn as she nodded. She had overlooked this previously. Not only did Osmanthus Village have one, but there was also another vehicle! Moreover, the car could run well. After all, the residents of Osmanthus Village had to capture people often, and they were greatly concerned about the travel.

After Qin Dandan nodded, everyone’s expression turned ugly. They had never expected Osmanthus Village to have a car!

Especially Lu Haiying, she couldn’t believe it. “I have been in Osmanthus Village for two years, but I have never seen any shadow of a car!”

Qin Dandan explained, “I found it by chance. The village chief’s house has a basement! The cars are hidden inside, and there are two very good ones.”

Due to the nature of her job, Qin Dandan was more careful than others. When she found that there were empty houses near the village head’s house, she felt that it was strange. She took the opportunity to observe the village head’s courtyard and sneaked into the basement.

Finally, Qin Dandan figured it out. It was natural that no one else knew about the car. The village chief’s house was isolated. Even if someone used a car, the rest would not find out. Or rather, only the locals in the village knew about this.

“What!”

Lu Haiying was dumbfounded.

He Xun and Chen Wei’er were also shocked. The two of them had even been to the village chief’s house, but they didn’t find anything wrong!

Huo Yijia assumed she would be safe until she found out about the car in Osmanthus Village. They would definitely catch up! Moreover, the RV was still driving back, so they might encounter each other!

Besides, even if they didn’t run into each other, how were they going to escape? Compared to the route, they were not as familiar with it as the people from Osmanthus Village! The more she thought about it, the more afraid Huo Yijia became, and her tears began to fall.

Qin Dandan was already annoyed. When she saw Huo Yijia start to cry and hear her increasingly loud sobs, she couldn’t help but shout, “What’s the use of crying? Stop crying!”

“I… You…” Huo Yijia bit her lower lip and glared at Qin Dandan.

Qin Dandan was abundantly annoyed that she looked directly at He Xun and Chen Wei’er.

“What do we do now? I’m willing to cooperate no matter what you say.”

He Xun pondered for a moment and said, “Find the nearest fork in the road. If there’s none, we’ll split up. You guys take this car, and I’ll drive the small car with Wei’er.”
