"Get out of my way!" Huo Xin snapped, exuding an aura that warned others to stay away.
However, the guard outside the door remained motionless, showing no sign of timidity on his face.
Seeing the unyielding guard, Huo Xin grew angrier. She simply pushed the man aside and said, "Don't block my view."
But the guard still lowered his head and returned to the door, blocking Miss Huo Wu who was about to go out.
"Miss Wu, this is an order from the madam and the master. Please don't make things difficult for us subordinates," the guard pleaded.
Seeing the unwavering man, Huo Xin forced a smile on her lips and nodded.
As she nodded, she said, "Fine. Since that's the case, I'll ask for their permission. You'd better watch out then."
Huo Xin pointed at the guard with an arrogant look. Then, she turned around, closed her eyes tightly, and wrinkled her face into a ball. She of course knew that her parents wouldn't let her go. But now she was confined in the Huo Mansion. If she didn't leave soon, her sister - in - law would be in danger.
Moreover, she knew that her eldest sister and second brother were both out. If she didn't go out...
The more she thought, the more anxious she became. It was impossible to get her parents' permission. So, Huo Xin lowered her eyes and stood still.
She looked darkly at Yang Qian's door. Then she turned to look at the guard. The guard was staring straight ahead indifferently, just like a soldier standing at attention.
This was the moment.
Huo Xin clenched her fists, curled the corner of her mouth, and suddenly closed her eyes. She strode outwards.
The guard perhaps didn't expect this. Hearing the noise, he slowly turned his head and stared at the young lady charging straight at him with his mouth wide open. He quickly tried to stop her.
In the end, Miss Huo Wu's head bumped into the guard's chest.
Feeling something was wrong, Huo Xin touched her head and felt a soft spot. Her face stiffened. Bad, the attempt had failed.
The two stood still. Just as the atmosphere was getting increasingly awkward, Huo Xin moved quietly again. While the guard hadn't reacted yet, she turned her head and body and ran towards the now unguarded main gate.
However, the guard was faster. He gasped for breath and blocked the door, pleading, "Miss Wu, please spare me! If I really let you leave, I'll be in big trouble!"
"Do you think you'll have an easy time just by blocking me?" Huo Xin threatened with a dark face.
The guard's face stiffened. He swallowed hard and then regained his composure.
"But if you slip out now, I'll definitely be in trouble. Miss, please take pity on me and spare me!" the guard pleaded.
Huo Xin snorted and shifted her foot to the left. Crossing her arms over her chest, she said, "I won't!"
The guard immediately followed. Huo Xin angrily shifted left and right, but was blocked by the guard who was driven by a strong will to survive.
She got angrier and simply charged straight ahead.
The guard pushed her back, but she rushed out again. When the guard stood in front of her, she bumped her head against his chest. After such a struggle, both of them were exhausted, and Huo Xin's hair was in a complete mess.
Just as she launched her Nth charge, she suddenly stopped. Bending over, her messy hair covering her face, she heard footsteps. Huo Xin looked up.
The person behind the guard was actually her fourth brother.
She curled the corner of her mouth. It took her a while to react, and she covered her mouth.
Huo Cheng was a bit confused to see such a scene as soon as he entered.
"Sister Wu, you...?"
There was no time.
Huo Xin quickly grabbed Huo Cheng's hand and pulled him inside. They stopped beside the wall.
"Fourth brother, don't say anything first. Listen to me," Huo Xin said anxiously.
Huo Cheng also sensed the seriousness of the problem at this time and listened to her.
Huo Cheng's face remained unchanged, but his whole aura was obviously different.
"I thought there was no way out just now. Fortunately, you came back early," Huo Xin said with a sob.
"It's okay," Huo Cheng comforted her. Then he quickened his pace and turned around, saying, "I need to hurry up, or it will be too late."
Huo Xin trotted to keep up and asked, "Fourth brother, can I go with you?"
Huo Xin understood what Huo Cheng meant and slowly stopped, watching him walk further and further away. Indeed, if she went out, she might be in danger too. This was not abroad, and they didn't have their influence here.
But if fourth brother went to rescue someone, he would surely succeed.
The big stone in her heart was put down. She walked towards the door again.
As soon as the guard saw her, he became vigilant and immediately blocked the door.
Huo Xin smiled faintly. She walked beside the guard and said with a forced smile, "Do you think I'll go out again? Let me tell you, even if you beg me to go out in the future, I won't."
Having said that, she snorted and turned back into the Huo Mansion.
These days, she was so worried that she couldn't eat. Now she could finally relax and needed to treat herself well.
Even under house - arrest, Miss Huo Wu lived more freely than anyone else.
Huo Cheng would leave the Valley of Death in the quickest way with a dark face. He didn't expect such a misunderstanding to occur.
In fact, he had indeed passed by the Valley of Death, but only on his way.
The Valley of Death was just the intersection of Country G and Country Z. So passing through here was the shortest route.
He got off the helicopter, and a group of men in black suits also got off from several other helicopters.
The hotel owner stood on the upper floor, watching the trees swaying in the wind caused by the helicopters. He sighed. It seemed that the Valley of Death was destined to be in turmoil.
These days, he had noticed that there was a lot of commotion here. Today, it was even greater, as if a raging fire was about to spread.
Since that woman entered alone, he shook his head and didn't look anymore. He couldn't tell whether this was good or bad.
A group of people rushed into the small woods like sharp swords.
Jiang Lihao had hidden in the small woods for a whole night. Finally, when the sky was just getting light, he carried the prey he had finally obtained and walked towards the grotto.
However, there were suddenly more patrolmen during the day. Jiang Lihao dodged one group after another.
When the sky became completely bright, seeing group after group of people, he knew that this couldn't go on. He gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk.
Just after he saw a group of people leave, he started running without stopping. The group of people he had just passed by heard something wrong and immediately followed him.
When they caught up, they found that there was another group of people chasing that person.
The two groups of people followed the escaping person. Jiang Lihao was filled with wails. If there was a regret pill now, he would surely swallow it.
Now, not only the group of people he had just passed by was chasing him, but almost everyone who could hear the noise was following him.
Although it was exciting, it was risking his life, a bit too exciting.
He gasped for breath as he took detours. Finally, he began to run out of strength, and the people behind him were getting closer and closer.
"Plop!" Jiang Lihao sat on the ground.
He looked like he had given up struggling.
The people behind caught up and surrounded him. After they caught their breath, they discussed what to do.
"Let's report to the boss now!"
"Where is the boss?"
"In the village inside."
Just as this group of people decided where to take him and were about to grab him, Jiang Lihao had recovered. He found a gap and immediately ran away.
The group of people followed him again. Jiang Lihao led them around in circles in the woods.
