Chapter 1114: Escape
Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhang Qi continued, “My sister had placed two bodyguards by my side. They probably followed me here long ago. Your family… is in danger!” She smiled.

Wang Xin was a little panicked, but he still didn’t believe it in his heart. “Are you really the young lady of the Ye family?”

Zhang Qi replied, “It’s real! Our housekeeper is called Liu Yong, and the head chef is called Chen Hai. We have a big garden at home, and the villa has several floors. I…” As she said more and more information, Wang Xin’s face became paler and paler.

Zhang Qi continued, “If you help me leave, I can ask my family to be lenient and deal with it appropriately. Otherwise… none of your family members can escape!” She glared fiercely at Wang Xin with a fierce, dignified, and terrifying boldness.

Wang Xin was completely convinced. He hesitated for a moment and said, “If I let you go, will your family let my family go?”

Zhang Qi smiled. “Of course, my sister will at most teach your family a lesson verbally. Your lives won’t be in danger. After all, I’m not injured.” It seemed that there was hope.

Wang Xin nodded. “Then I’ll try my best to help you get the key to the chain. You can find a chance to escape. I don’t care about the rest.” He was crippled and couldn’t care about anything else.

“Sure!” Zhang Qi agreed readily. Soon, the afternoon passed. The room gradually turned dark. There were birds chirping outside the window and the sound of people walking. Zhang Qi hugged herself and held on a little longer. She would be able to leave soon.

At the fork in the road, Zhuang Xuan and the others stopped the car. This was the place where the bodyguards had lost track of them. Yu Su took out three ancient coins and thought of Zhang Qi in her heart. She drew her aura into the ancient coins and silently chanted an incantation. This was the famous tracing technique.

In the end, Yu Su threw the ancient coin up and looked at the direction it fell. Under the effect of gravity, the ancient coin fell down and finally landed in three different directions.

Yu Su took a look at the divination. She pointed at the path in the center and said to the few of them, “She’s in this direction. Let’s follow this path and divine when we encounter a fork.”

The few of them immediately got into the car and it sped away. Along the way, Yu Su threw the ancient coins seven times in a row before their car finally stopped halfway up the mountain. The few of them stood halfway up the mountain and could look down at the area below. It was a large village. This village looked very old and the houses were very sparse.

“Zhang Qi is in this village, but I can’t pinpoint her exact location. We have to search for her ourselves,” Yu Su said coldly.

Usually, when entering such a village, they should not alert the enemy immediately. If the villagers hid her, it would be even more difficult for them to find her.

Zhuang Yang pulled his hair fiercely and gritted his teeth. “What should we do now? Aren’t we going to go in and look?” He was very afraid.

Ye Tang rolled her eyes at him. “Have you never watched any documentaries? If you go in, the villagers will skin you alive in minutes. People in this kind of village are very united. If you want Zhang Qi to die early, go in.” She was really speechless. Ever since she found out their identities, she disliked them even more. She even hated Zhuang Yang.

Sure enough, after Zhuang Yang removed the halo of a celebrity, he was also a very ordinary person.

Zhuang Xuan pondered for a moment. “Should I send someone in to investigate first?”

Yu Su nodded. “Sure, arrange for a candidate.” The safest way was to inquire in secret.

At night, outside the tent, Zhuang Xuan held a pair of binoculars and looked at the houses in the village. There was a large area, but he could not lock onto any house.

The bodyguard said, “President Zhuang, please eat something first!”

“I have no appetite,” Zhuang Xuan said coldly. Zhang Qi was imprisoned. How could he eat?

The bodyguard said, “Why don’t I bring a group of people in and search around? We should be able to find Young Miss.” He sighed.

Zhuang Xuan glanced at him coldly, his eyes sharp. “What if you can’t find her?”

“If he didn’t find her…” The bodyguard scratched his head. If he didn’t find her, he would alert the enemy. He didn’t know where Ms. Zhuang would be transferred to. At that time, it would be even harder to find her. What if these people wanted to kill her?

Zhuang Xuan asked, “Is the mayor here?”

“One kilometer to go. They’ll be here soon,” the bodyguard replied.

The Zhuang family had always provided assistance to the nearby villages and towns. Every year, their family would invest a large sum of money in the construction of infrastructure. There were several roads nearby that were built by the Zhuang family. This was all done by Zhuang Yu. His goal was to pray for his lost daughter, so the Zhuang family had contact with the mayor.
