Several gunshots were heard from time to time in the silent mountains, disturbing the originally peaceful forest.
The ice that had been hanging on the trees for two months fell to the ground one after another. Looking from above, in the lush white rime forest, black figures could be seen from time to time.
On the middle road, two cars stopped.
Jiang Yunhao listened to the noise nearby and raised the lighter in his hand.
"This Mo Xiao is really not as simple a playboy as he seems."
Even a simple meeting could be so carefully arranged, but it actually made her catch a few mice.
"Mr. Jiang, do you need me to go down and take a look?" The man in the passenger seat turned back with a stern look on his face.
Jiang Yunhao reached for a cigar box, lit it and pressed down the car window. The burning cigarette butt fell to the ground.
"Go and see who broke in."
Jiang Yunhao exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth, "I heard that many people came to Beicheng from the Imperial Capital during this period. If they are people related to the Imperial Capital, you don't need to report them to me. You can just hand them over to Mo Xiao directly."
Everything happened by the Mo family's hands, even if others wanted to accuse him, there was nothing they could do.
The car door opened and then closed, Xiao Yan held the gun and walked into the woods.
After Mo Xiao's people determined that there was someone in the woods, they mobilized manpower to track them down, and silencers were installed on everyone's pistols.
But from time to time there were still sounds of trees being penetrated and the sound of something exploding in the air.
A strong smell of blood came over, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, and the sound of footsteps rising from all directions trapped the two of them.
"The phone has no signal, what should I do?" Li Li raised the phone, but the signal bar was still zero.
"it's here!"
There was a shout from behind. Li Li turned around and saw three men in black appearing.
"boom!"
The sound of bullets piercing flesh and the strong smell of blood filled the air.
Yun Xiao blocked the person behind him and accurately knocked down the three people surrounding him with the gun in his hand.
The man who fell to the ground twitched and closed his eyes. Warm blood seeped out and filled the ground.
Yun Xiao took out the gun from the three men, turned around and handed one into Li Li's hand.
"I'll lure them away. You go down the mountain road and find someone to rescue me." Yun Xiao dragged Li Li and hid behind a tree.
Li Li held the pistol and shook his head, "No, I can't leave you."
"Be obedient. The most important thing is to bring in reinforcements and deal with them. Otherwise, we both will die here silently. You go down this road."
Li Li saw that Yun Xiao didn't move, and saw her worry. Yun Xiao raised his hand to rub her face, "Be obedient, they can't kill me yet. I promise that I will be alive until you bring someone to rescue me."
"Then you wait for me." Li Li turned around holding the gun.
Yun Xiao turned around and ran out from behind the tree with a sharp look on her face. Her overly obvious movements quickly attracted the people who gathered around her.
There were numerous crashes, and trees and soil flew up.
Yun Xiao killed the two people from behind with neat movements, put the dagger in his arms, squatted down to remove all the bullets from the opponent, and then raised the gun.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The sound of gunshots rang out all around, which reminded everyone that he soon heard footsteps approaching from all directions in this place.
Yun Xiao turned around and stood there waiting for the arrival of those people.
All the mountain roads were guarded. In order to avoid those who were following him, Li Li could only travel through the narrow paths.
Bushes and conifers slashed across her face, stinging every inch of her skin.
There were sounds from behind him from time to time. Li Li turned around, panting with sweat, without stopping.
From her point of view, she could already see the villa down the mountain. Li Li had a smile on her face and was about to rush out.
He was grabbed from behind.
Li Li was shocked, turned around and raised his foot to kick him, but was restrained.
"Shut up."
Li Li stared at the sudden appearance of the man with wide eyes at the sharp scolding from the man opposite.
"Are you here to catch me?"
Didn't he already leave with Jiang Yunhao? Moreover, at this juncture, if he appears here, he must be arresting people for Jiang Yunhao.
Xiao Yan looked into the distance, pulled the person to bend over and turned around, "Hurry up!"
"Let me go!" Li Li tried hard to break free.
But the hand holding her wrist was as motionless as a steel band.
"If you go down there, you'll be shot as soon as you show up." He looked at the girl who was still struggling and said.
"What do you mean?" Li Li stared at him.
"All the roads going down the mountain are blocked. The main roads and even the small roads are guarded by people. Do you think they will be so stupid that they don't know that you are going down to fetch reinforcements?"
His words left Li Li stunned on the spot.
"What do I do now? I have to go down."
If no one can be found to rescue Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao will definitely be caught.
"Go around the back mountain."
Xiao Yan said, pulling her back.
Li Li continued to move forward with the man. The two of them walked in a hurry, and they could still smell the stench of blood along the way.
Originally, the back door of the villa area could be seen, but he could only change the direction and walk back.
"Do you have any communication equipment on you? Yours can definitely make a call and go out." Li Li grabbed the person's hand without letting go.
Xiao Yan pulled her forward without stopping, without even looking at her.
"The signal in the whole mountain is blocked, and you can't make any calls out."
This must be a good thing Mo Xiao did. He was really thoughtful and even thought of this.
In addition to Li Li, there must be other people in this mountain, otherwise Mo Xiao would not make such a fuss.
"over there!!"
People who were searching everywhere happened to bump into the two of them by mistake.
Looking at the pistols they raised, Xiao Yan turned around to protect the person in his arms, and rolled down the side hillside with the person in his arms.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
"Bang bang bang!!!"
All the bullets hit the ground around them, making a dull sound after hitting the thick snow.
There was a whistling sound and the sound of rustling cloth rubbing against tree branches.
Li Li closed her eyes and felt the pain from the touch on her back. Xiao Yan held her tightly in his arms, and the two of them rolled down the hillside more than ten meters away.
"Chasing?"
The man in black, who failed to hit after shooting, came over and took a look. The vast snowy field fell from the mountain into the woods behind.
It's still night, so I'm going to search again.
The leader took out the walkie-talkie and said, "A man and a woman fell into the woods at the foot of the mountain to the west."
The person over there quickly replied that they had received it, followed closely by the sound of footsteps approaching.
After rolling to the bottom continuously, the two of them could hardly stop due to inertia. There was a waterfall through the forest here.
Going down from there is equivalent to being shattered into pieces and reborn as a new person.
Li Li held on to the man tightly without letting go, her eyes closed and she couldn't even breathe comfortably.
When approaching the nearest tree, the dagger in Xiao Yan's hand quickly pierced the tree and clung to the tree tightly.
This prevented the two of them from rushing out directly along the inertia.
He held the girl's hand tightly, and pressed his back hard against the tree next to him before the two of them reluctantly stopped.
"Ahem..." Li Li fell to the ground gasping for air.
There was snow on her body, face, and hair. She breathed in the cold air and coughed out in excitement.
Xiao Yan shook off the snow on his body and stood up, reaching out to her.
"Let's go, there's still a long way to go."
If you want to get around from here, you have to walk for another half an hour.
Li Li didn't waste any time, quickly got up from the ground and followed him forward.
Xiao Yan broke off the branches and leaves nearby and cleared the footprints behind the two of them. It didn't look like it would snow in the second half of the night.
This series of footprints is too eye-catching on the snow.
Xiao Yan dragged Li Li on foot and walked through the woods. As long as he bypassed the stream to the west, he could directly reach the ski resort.
"Why are you helping me? Aren't you Jiang Yunhao's subordinate?" Li Li followed him and asked questions.
Xiao Yan, who was cleaning up the traces, said nothing, but Li Li's chatty nature would not diminish.
"You discovered me from the beginning, so you told me not to move. But no matter what you do in this world, there must be a reason. You can't help me for no reason."
Li Li could see that when he said not to move, he really wanted to save her.
But this was a deal between Jiang Yunhao and Mo Xiao. If this person saved him, she would definitely report them to her grandmother when she got out.
By then, this person will be doomed. This is a naked betrayal of his boss.
"Aren't you afraid that I will report it to the Fu family? If your boss knows that you saved me, he will definitely kill you."
Xiao Yan threw the branches and leaves in his hand far away, and raised his hand to stop the people around him from talking.
He looked around cautiously, leaned down, and put his ears close to the ground.
Seeing his actions, Li Li held his breath.
Xiao Yan stood up and pulled her forward quickly, and the two of them ran wildly along the frozen creek.
There were chaotic footsteps and shouts from behind.
…
At twelve o'clock at midnight, the person lying on the bed opens his eyes.
Wen Li looked at the time. She had just fallen asleep for half an hour and woke up not long after.
I stood up and put on my slippers to open the curtains. From this angle, I could see the trees growing on the mountain behind.
Wen Li poured a cup of hot water from the kettle next to him. As soon as he took the cup to the balcony, he felt the bone-chilling cold air.
She wrapped her velvet jacket tightly around her body, as if she heard shouts coming from afar.
The person who thought he heard wrongly frowned. The villa they lived in was the closest to the mountain, so naturally he would be the first to know if there was any movement.
Wen Li's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the people walking on the mountain road in the distance.
At this time, why are there so many people guarding the mountain road
“Knock knock…”
There was a knock on the door behind him, and Wen Li turned around, put down his cup, and opened the door.
Xia Chen stood at the door and faced Wen Li with a smile on his face.
He was still holding a computer in his hand, pointing at the polka dots that appeared on the screen.
"Boss, the signal source just detected Jiang Yunhao appearing nearby."
Wen Li took the computer in his hand and looked at it. Since he knew the power behind Mezui, he naturally had to take countermeasures.
Therefore, Jiang Yunhao must be within the scope of monitoring.
"Tell me, is Jiang Yunhao here looking for the Mo family or the Li family?"
One of the two families in Beicheng has always maintained close contact with Purgatory, otherwise there would be no protection from these two families.
There was no way that woman had stayed up north for so many years and remained unharmed. "Of course it's the Mo family."
The door to the next room opened, and a man in black silk pajamas came out, half leaning against the door and opening his mouth.
Xia Chen politely called, "Mr. Fu."
"Is there a cooperative relationship between Jiang Yunhao and the Mo family?" Wen Li looked at the man and asked.
The black pajamas are loosely open, revealing the delicate collarbone and strong abdomen. The messy hair only adds to the sex appeal.
The man came over, pinched her chin with his fingertips and smiled.
"Children should be sleeping at this time, not the time to discuss such issues."
His fingers were cold, so Wen Li raised his hand to grab the man's wrist, which was also cold, and then looked at the wet hair on his head.
"You take a shower in the middle of the night?"
Moreover, the bath was still cold. This man was afraid that he would die.
Seeing her slightly angry eyes, Fu Yuxiu chuckled, lowered his head and leaned close to her, leaned into the girl's ear and spoke softly.
"We are separated by a wall. If I don't take a shower, how can I resist going over and swallowing you?"
The cold mint smell surrounded Wen Li, and his ambiguous words also fell into the girl's ears.
Wen Li let go of her hand and patted the back of his hand gently.
Seeing her little action, the smile in the man's eyes grew wider.
"Children should rest when the time comes. Can we wait until tomorrow to discuss these matters?"
Fu Yuxiu said, raising his hand and pushing the person into the room.
"Boss?"
Xia Chen stood there in a daze, trying to say something but was frightened away by the man's look back.
It was a threat, a naked threat.
When he wants to see the boss, he has to get Mr. Fu's consent. What kind of statement is this
Xia Chen, who was holding the computer, sighed. The boss could bear it.
Although he came over, he didn't sleep in the same room with Mr. Fu. He also thought that the boss didn't sleep in the same room with Mr. Fu anyway.
He just came up with the computer in his arms.
He walked downstairs slowly. In the hall downstairs, Fei Ran and Lu Min, who were making tea, looked back at him.
"Have you hit a wall?"
He should have been told not to go up.
Although the young master and Miss Wen Li did not sleep in the same room, how could the young master allow anyone to disturb Miss Wen Li's sleep in the middle of the night.
If you think about it with your toes, it's a good thing that this person wasn't thrown down.
"But I'm talking to the boss about business." Xia Chen was dissatisfied.
What's more, that's their boss, Evans' highest-ranking commander.
Why are you being restrained by them
"Whether you want to drink it or not, it's the best Mao Jian soaked in pure snow water." Feiran handed over the teacup.
Xia Chen took it and drank it generously, "It doesn't taste good."
Fei Ran raised his forehead and then remembered that this person was not from the G country. He didn't grow up drinking tea, so he couldn't get used to the taste.
"I don't think it tastes good." Xia Chen stared at Fei Ran with an expression of enjoyment.
"You don't understand. This tea is like life. When you can understand it, the road will be almost complete."
What he said is extremely profound.
"Forget it, let me go up and rest. I still have a lot of things to investigate."
The boss couldn't control it, but Jiang Yunhao's whereabouts had to be monitored.
The boss came here specifically to catch that woman this time. If he ran away because of Jiang Yunhao's appearance, he would not be able to escape.
It’s not that the gain outweighs the loss.
"Would you like to try it too?" Feiran looked at Lu Min opposite.
The young man waved his hand, "No need, I can't drink it out of your long life."
Looking at the backs of the two people going upstairs, Fei Ran laughed out loud.
He is really a young child. He has a free and easy temper and can't calm down. Of course, he can't drink anything.
But this is also the best.
It’s been a long time since I had a good cup of tea. Enjoying the tranquility at this time is more important than anything else.
…
In the white sky, the blood flowing from the guns of the men in black strewn with corpses smeared the thick snow under them. The red and warm snow melted the snow under them and dissipated the heat before freezing into ice.
Li Li helped Xiao Yan get up from the ground, and his fingers touched a warm and sticky patch.
She was stunned, looking down at the red fingertips and his torn sleeves.
"You are hurt?"
The wound was on his arm. He must have been shot during the confrontation with these people just now.
"Don't worry about this and leave quickly."
Xiao Yan pulled off the tie from the person on the ground and tightly wrapped the bleeding wound on his arm.
There is no way to remove the bullet now, so we can only do simple treatment first to prevent the blood from flowing like this anymore.
Li Li took a step back and stood still, "You don't have to worry about me anymore. Just go. I'll find a way out of here on my own."
He was originally an outsider, although he didn't know why he came back to save her.
But now this man has been involved in danger to save her, and now he is even injured.
If this continues, people will die.
She couldn't be so selfish and let an irrelevant person die for her in vain.
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
Xiao Yan urged in a cold voice.
Li Li picked up the man's gun on the ground and turned around in the opposite direction. "Go back and don't worry about me."
He stepped over in two steps. He reached out and dragged the girl who was about to leave back.
"Do you still want to be willful at this time? Don't you still want to save people?"
Li Li yelled at him, "This is not willful!"
The surrounding air was quiet, and the man in front of him didn't speak again, listening to her continue.
"You have nothing to do with me. There is no need to risk your life for me. If you die here just to send me out, I will not be stable for the rest of my life."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and kept holding on to her hand, "If you go out by yourself, you will definitely die."
"I know that the Mo family has made up its mind to rebel. They will definitely find ways to eliminate everyone who knows about this matter. Even if I am the eldest lady of the Li family, I will not be able to escape death."
The other party is someone who even dares to attack the young master, so what do you expect them to be afraid of
If she was destined to die, she would have to find a way to get the news out. She didn't really care what happened to the young master.
But there is Wen Li next to Fu Yuxiu. When those people attack, Wen Li will definitely be in danger.
"You belong to Jiang Yunhao. If you abandon me, you can walk out of here intact. If you continue to follow me, you will definitely die."
Moreover, in this ice and snow, their traces cannot be hidden. There are no reinforcements, and more and more people are surrounding them.
If you can't get out, you will easily freeze to death here.
Li Li took out the mobile phone from his pocket and handed it over, "If you are willing, can you help me send this mobile phone back to my sister."
As long as Li Ruobing unlocks the lock, he will definitely be able to see the message she left. It is enough to know what happened.
Xiao Yan looked at the phone and said nothing.
Li Li also smiled when he saw this, and said the last words, "Besides, I don't completely trust you."
Having only met him once, this man was willing to give up his life to save her.
Although she has been protected by Li Langhua for so many years and has not seen too many evil people, she is not a fool.
No one will stick to your fate for no reason, let alone someone you just met.
"Haha..." Xiao Yan suddenly laughed out loud.
Perhaps because of the injury, the blood on his lips had faded, and the look he looked at Li Li was still cold.
"Just because you are a young lady from the Li family, is that enough?"
Li Li looked at him, the man's eyes were dark, and his expression was as cold and solemn as ever.
When such a person speaks, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"No one wants to climb up the ladder. You are the most beloved granddaughter of the head of the Li family, and you are also rumored to be the future head of the Li family. If I can make you owe me a favor, you will naturally get whatever you ask for in the future."
Power is really tempting sometimes.
"Just because I am the eldest lady of the Li family?" Li Li looked at him, obviously not believing what he said.
"Otherwise, why?" Xiao Yan smiled sarcastically, "You are the eldest lady of the Li family. This is enough to make many people flock to you. The two words "Li family" represent huge power and wealth. These are not enough for me. Will he risk his life for you?"
Everything can be solved with one word, money.
Li Li stared at him for a long time before finally uttering a sentence.
"Did Jiang Yunhao bully you?"
Isn't it said that the underground world is full of darkness? As a small bodyguard, he might be beaten severely by his boss from time to time.
"You can understand it this way, but don't forget, Miss Li. After you walk out of here, remember that you owe me this favor."
It would be much simpler if everything could be solved through exchange of interests.
People with different goals are often the purest when they gather together.
Li Li looked at him for a long time. Now she needed this person to help her report the news to save Yun Xiao's life.
If all he wanted was money, it would be easier to solve it.
"I promise you that I will give you the most generous reward after you go out. As long as what you want is within the power of my Li family, I will definitely not say no."
This is cooperation.
Xiao Yan picked up the weapons on the ground, took off their coats and handed them over.
"Put it on, it will get colder in the second half of the night."
Li Li obediently took off the coat that had been wet just now, and wrapped it around her body, which relieved her almost frozen body.
She glanced forward and saw that the world was still white. She sniffed and continued to follow Xiao Yan.
Just bypass the creek and walk out.
But once on the road, another fight is inevitable.
But there is one thing to be thankful for. The people living in the villa are not ordinary people.
It wouldn't take such a long time for people inside to notice such a big movement in the Mo family.
Once someone can open the gap from the outside, they can naturally get out.
Li Li regretted a little. If he hadn't come out to paint, he wouldn't have been like this. It would have been better to stay in the villa and watch TV with his grandma.
Although she is getting older, she always urges her to go on a blind date and find a partner.
But that one is never as deadly as this one.
