Xiao Li listened but didn’t say anything, quietly continuing with the task at hand. After placing a petri dish properly, Xiao Li left the laboratory to call Yue Wenwen. As expected, she couldn’t get through. Frowning lightly, Xiao Li started to worry. She called Hua Xiaochun to understand the situation and felt something was off. Even if there was an emergency at home, it shouldn’t be so urgent that she couldn’t even have time to call Hua Xiaochun! And going off the grid like that seemed absurd, especially when her family had requested leave from her mentor. What was going on? Xiao Li pondered deeply. Her intuition told her that something must have happened to Yue Wenwen! Flipping to Qin Xiao’s number, Xiao Li called directly and quickly filled him in, "Hey brother, could you have your people check on Yue Wenwen’s situation?" "Alright, I’ll have Feng Ye handle it!" After hanging up, Xiao Li was about to return to the lab when her phone rang again. It was He Jie, she answered curiously, but before Xiao Li could speak, He Jie started rambling. "Xiao Li! Didn’t sister-in-law treat you well in the past? You regained your memory and didn’t tell me, fine, but you tricked me! Do you know, these past few days my back is almost breaking!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Li couldn’t help but laugh with her hand covering her mouth, then she pretended to be pitiful, "Sister-in-law, you know some things aren’t up to me to decide." Just this sentence was enough, no need to say more. He Jie filled in the blanks himself, she knew, Xiao Li wouldn’t do such a deceptive thing, it must have been Qin Xiao with his tricks! "Sigh... Sister-in-law understands, it’s not easy for you either, dealing with this old fox and forced to call him brother, we’re in the same boat! This matter, I’ll go find Qin Xiao to settle it!" He Jie hung up after finishing, Xiao Li kept the phone and went straight back to the lab, with no guilt of passing the buck! Meanwhile, Qin Xiao also skillfully took the blame, while doing so he played another trick on his big brother, "Sister-in-law, I really didn’t know it would turn out . Back then big brother asked me how to get Nini to call me brother. I just told him the truth, you know I care for Nini, I wouldn’t want her to be too tired, as for big brother! What I said was right, must be something wrong with his approach!" With that, he hung up the phone, leaving He Jie on the other end listening to the busy tone, the anger rising... Inside the apartment, Yue Wenwen peeked through the peephole, seeing the guard outside smoking, she opened the door a crack, "Could I have a cigarette?" The guard, seeing Yue Wenwen asking for a cigarette, responded, "Miss wants to smoke?" Yue Wenwen nodded, "Yeah, give me a light!" The other person pulled out a cigarette and gave it to Yue Wenwen to bite before lighting it for her. After taking a puff in front of them, Yue Wenwen closed the door. Outside, seeing the door closed, the guards whispered, "Didn’t expect this missy, who looks so demure, to smoke." "What’s surprising? Rich kids, which one doesn’t play around? Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙 You reckon young master locked up missy here for what? Yesterday I heard her screaming, could it be between the two they are..." "Don’t talk nonsense, they’re siblings, how could that happen? Most likely missy annoyed young master, and we know he’s not one to mess with!" Inside, Yue Wenwen pretended to take a few puffs before slowly slipping to the bathroom corner not covered by surveillance. In the bathroom, Yue Wenwen first wiped the water from the sink, then pulled all the tissues and threw them into the sink, placing the still-lit cigarette on the paper, blowing hard, igniting the paper. Yue Wenwen grabbed a dry towel from the bin, placed it inside, and then threw the burning paper onto the towel. Within moments, the towel caught fire. Yue Wenwen placed a half-damp towel over it, and soon it was filled with smoke. The bathroom door cracked open a bit, letting smoke out, which triggered the smoke alarm. The whole apartment building alarms went off... Hearing the alarms, Yue Wenwen promptly poured the water set aside into the bin to extinguish the fire, then dashed out of the bathroom. As she rushed out, the guards outside burst in, grabbing her and carrying her away. Due to the constant alarm, the elevator was out of service. The guards carried Yue Wenwen down the fire escape stairs, packed with people, everyone evacuating downstairs. With so many people, after a few steps, Yue Wenwen used the chaos to break free from the two guards. Once free, she desperately ran downstairs, but upon reaching the apartment exit, she saw two men in black suits guarding the door. Blocked ahead, chased from behind, what should she do? At this moment, a figure appeared at the apartment entrance. Hua Xiaochun had just left the university planning to go to the hospital when he saw a crowd. So many people indicated an incident, where incidents happen, doctors are generally needed. Instinctively, he ran over to check. Just as he arrived, someone called out to him. He saw Yue Wenwen running towards him, but before she could get close, two men stopped her. Yue Wenwen had wounds on her body and face. Seeing her condition, Hua Xiaochun rushed to help. "What are you doing? Why are you grabbing my girlfriend? People, help! Someone’s trying to abduct in broad daylight." Hearing Hua Xiaochun’s cry and seeing Yue Wenwen’s state, compassionate onlookers stepped in to help Hua Xiaochun. "Don’t shout! This is my family’s miss, we’re here to protect her." Yue Wenwen shouted, "No, no! They’re trying to catch me; they’ve locked me up for half a month!" Hearing this, more people joined the cause, preventing Yue Wenwen from being taken away. Seeing the black-suited men flee, Yue Wenwen immediately turned to Hua Xiaochun, "Xiachun, give me your phone, quick!" Hua Xiaochun quickly embraced Yue Wenwen, "Wenwen, where have you been? Why didn’t you answer my calls?" Yue Wenwen pushed Hua Xiaochun away, "Xiachun, give me the phone, I need to make a call quickly... or it’ll be too late!" The guards would surely inform Gu Zhiyuan of her escape, knowing this, he would certainly go after her sister, she had to quickly notify her. Seeing her urgency, Hua Xiaochun set aside his questions and handed over his phone after unlocking it, Yue Wenwen asked, "Do you have my sister’s number?" "I mean, Xiao Li sister’s number!"
