306 Reunion 1 (1/2)
”What injuries?”
Mei Yangyang told An Xiaoning the truth about everything that had happened ever since she sneaked her way inside the den. Although she had sounded calm, An Xiaoning was extremely shocked and frightened.
She realized how Mei Yangyang had risked her own life just to save hers.
Moreover, Mei Yangyang even allowed herself to be stabbed in order not to let her identity be exposed. Greatly touched by how much she had sacrificed, An Xiaoning hugged Mei Yangyang and expressed her gratitude.
”Thank you, Yangyang.”
”I'm just glad to see that you're alright, Sis. We're still not safe yet, so we must get out of here as soon as possible. But I'm afraid we won't be able to leave tonight. Everyone is looking for you, it won't be easy to leave,” said a teary-eyed Mei Yangyang.
An Xiaoning gave a nod of approval.
”I'll send Mr. Jin a text message right away so he can relax,” said Mei Yangyang.
”Alright.”
Jin Qingyan was overwhelmed with mixed emotions upon hearing that Mei Yangyang was with An Xiaoning at the moment. He then informed Mei Yangyang that he had sent his bodyguards to block the entrances of all the secret passageways.
Xi Bolai had engaged all his men to surround the main entrance and exits. Thus, there was no way An Xiaoning could leave from there.
The only solution ahead was to leave via the secret passageways and meet with Jin Qingyan's bodyguards.
Jin Qingyan instructed clearly that he would be meeting them at the entrance of one of the secret passageways.
After discussing the plan with An Xiaoning, Mei Yangyang then left together with her according to Jin Qingyan's instructions.
They had a feeling that Xi Bolai's territory would be completely destroyed once they managed to escape.

Xi Bolai grew into an uncontrollable rage as soon as he woke up.
He had been reinforcing the command that An Xiaoning was strictly not allowed to be rescued. Yet, his efforts had gone in vain.
After looking through the surveillance camera footage, Xi Bolai discovered that An Xiaoning had escaped in the direction of Xi Boyu's backyard.
However, nothing else could be seen since there were no surveillance cameras at the blind spot.
He deduced that An Xiaoning must be hiding somewhere and was yet to leave his territory.
Thus, he checked all the footages of the surveillance cameras himself.
He scrutinized every segment, one by one.
He made sure not to let any clues escape his eyes.
After a full day of investigating and watching the footage, he suddenly discovered that Mei Yangyang had been captured by the surveillance cameras.
Xi Bolai was a quick-witted and intelligent person.
He immediately summoned his bodyguards and headed to his brother's abode to look for Mei Yangyang.
Xi Boyu said that Mei Yangyang had gone to get some rest after dinner.
Xi Bolai insisted on seeing her, however. Thus, the two headed to Mei Yangyang's room, only to find that she was not around.
”Where are the surveillance cameras in your place?”
”Brother, did you forget that the surveillance cameras here have been faulty for a few days already? You said you wanted to fix them for me.”
”What!” Xi Bolai gasped in exasperation. How could such important devices like surveillance cameras be left damaged and unrepaired!?!
”The two of them must be in cahoots. I knew something was off about that woman.”
”Brother, didn't you already test her?” said Xi Boyu, who refused to believe that Mei Yangyang was a spy since she had once risked her life for him.
”We'll know the answer if she does or doesn't come back. I reckon she won't be returning, though. But I've already laid traps everywhere, there's no way they can escape,” Xi Bolai deduced.
A frown creased Xi Boyu's forehead. He was hoping to himself that Mei Yangyang was not a spy and had merely gone out for a walk.
Half an hour later, he was struck with a huge blow.
