322 Hiding Place
On the way to escape, Shan Yue had deliberately made some branches and footprints in the opposite direction to confuse the other party’s vision and make them wonder which direction she had gone. Zhou Xuan had seen all of this.
Suddenly, Shan Yue discovered an extremely hidden pit on the road from the corner of her eye. It was beside the gra.s.s. If one didn’t squat down and take a closer look, they wouldn’t have noticed it at all.
The s.p.a.ce inside could accommodate two people. At this moment, the two of them did not have time to think and jumped in. Then, they used a large number of branches and gra.s.s to cover the edge of the pit.
At this moment, the two of them finally obtained a moment of rest.
“I wonder how the others are doing now. I’m not worried about those specially trained bodyguards. What worries me the most is Zhang Luo.” Shan Yue frowned and a worried expression appeared on her face. “He only has He Sheng by his side. I hope they can find a good hiding place. If they’re found, I’m afraid they’ll be doomed. If something really happens in the end, I won’t be able to answer to Grandpa Zhang when I go back.”
“At this time, you’re still in the mood to worry about others. Instead of thinking about whether Zhang Luo will encounter danger, why don’t you think about what to do first? Don’t underestimate He Sheng. If you really compare them, those bodyguards aren’t even as good as him. Not only is He Sheng good at computers, but he has a black belt in Taekwondo. It’s more than enough to protect a person.”
Zhou Xuan narrowed his deep black eyes and said calmly, “On the other hand, we’re more to worry about than the two of them. Although I often learn some combat, I’m not as good at fighting as He Sheng. You’re also a girl and don’t even have a weapon in your hand. If the two of us meet someone, we’ll really be finished.”
Shan Yue glanced at Zhou Xuan and smiled. She was not worried about what Zhou Xuan said at all. After a while, Shan Yue asked Zhou Xuan half-jokingly, “Will President Zhou agree if I were to sacrifice myself to fight for a chance for you to escape, so you can live to the end?”
“At a time like this, President Shan still doesn’t forget to joke about me. Looks like you’re not afraid at all.” Zhou Xuan’s tense face softened slightly, and his mood gradually relaxed. “If you want to know the answer, you’ll know my choice when we really fall into that situation.”
Suddenly, Shan Yue’s ears twitched. She pressed Zhou Xuan’s arm and shook her head, placing her index finger between her lips. “Don’t speak. There’s movement nearby. Someone should be coming.”
The two of them curled up in the pit together. They held their breaths and listened quietly to the sounds nearby, afraid that they would cause any commotion.
Sure enough, after a while, noisy footsteps sounded around them, accompanied by Pang Shuo’s shout. “Don’t continue hiding. Don’t waste each other’s time. As long as you’re willing to take the initiative to come out, I can consider not killing you. Everyone lives for benefits. We can discuss a win-win solution.”
However, no matter how Pang Shuo shouted in the forest, no one responded to him, let alone take the initiative to stand up.
Just as the two of them thought that they would not be discovered and could hide here for the night, a shoe suddenly appeared above their heads. In an instant, a leg sank in, and the deliberately disguised branches and leaves on the pit collapsed.
The two of them quickly came out of the pit and dusted themselves off. After confirming that they were fine, they were slightly relieved.
Zhou Xuan’s cold eyebrows could not help but curl up. He smiled helplessly and shook his head. “What day is it today? Looks like we’re really unlucky. Such a hidden place would definitely not have been discovered. I didn’t expect someone to happen to miss and fall.”
“Stop sighing, President Zhou. This can only mean one thing. Your lives are over. Even if the heavens want to protect you, they can’t.” A creepy smile appeared on Pang Shuo’s face again. “Are the two of you going to end it yourselves, or do you want us brothers to help you?”
