Upon seeing the watch still on my wrist, a slight relief washed over my heart. As long as this watch is here, Qin Xiao can locate me. He should already know I’ve been abducted! Before being taken, I told him I would head straight to the lab. I’ve been delayed for so long, he must already be looking for me. Thinking of this, Xiao Li calmly spoke, "Gu Zhiyuan, you haven’t told me where you’re taking me?" Gu Zhiyuan chuckled softly, "We’ll go to H Country first, then take a boat to a small island. I bought a villa there; we can live on that island. The island is sparsely populated, with islanders rarely leaving, and outsiders seldom visiting. I stumbled upon the island accidentally, discovered the property was cheap, so I bought a large villa. Before this, I transferred all my domestic funds to an overseas account. This money is enough for us to live a worry-free life forever. Of course, I know my finances aren’t as strong as the Qin Family’s, but the money I have is earned by myself, unlike Qin Xiao. If he left the Qin Family, he’d be worse off than me for sure. Rest assured, I’ll work hard to give you a better life. Going abroad, I can still make big money." Listening to Gu Zhiyuan’s words, Xiao Li thought to herself, "You’re truly arrogant!" Nonsense! You can’t even compare to one of Qin Xiao’s fingers! You can only buy a villa on the island, while Qin Xiao could buy the entire island, and maybe another one too, even without the Qin Family’s support. Besides, who wants to live with you? Who do you think you are? While Xiao Li ridiculed inwardly, her face remained unchanged, "But I don’t want to go with you! I want to be with Qin Xiao!" Timely resistance is necessary; constant compliance raises more suspicion. Sure enough, after Xiao Li said this, Gu Zhiyuan felt a bit uncomfortable, but his doubts somewhat lessened. "Who you’ll be with isn’t for you to decide, it’s for me to decide!" Gu Zhiyuan said coldly. Xiao Li feigned a frightened expression from his gaze, "Then... then... then are we going to the airport now?" Gu Zhiyuan shook his head, "Not to the airport; going there, we’ll definitely be blocked by the Qin Family. I have chartered a private jet; we’ll be at the private airfield soon, and once we board the plane, we can take off immediately." Upon hearing this, Xiao Li quietly panicked, realizing that if they got on the plane, the positioning from the watch would likely become useless, its signal would be blocked! She needed to buy time for Qin Xiao. Meanwhile, Qin Xiao was also racing towards the location given by the watch. Looking at the watch’s location, Qin Xiao pulled up a nearby map just as his phone rang. The call was from Qin Zilong, who Qin Xiao had previously asked to investigate Gu Zhiyuan. "Second Master, I’ve found that Gu Zhiyuan transferred all his personal account money overseas some time ago. He owns property on an island in H Country. From the financial flows, I also discovered he recently rented the Lin Family’s private jet, indicating he’s planning to take Madam abroad." Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao responded coldly, "Did you contact the Lin Family?" Qin Zilong calmly replied, "I did. If Gu Zhiyuan gets there first, the Lin Family will stall him." Qin Xiao gave a slight nod and immediately pulled up the map. Knowing the destination, there was no need to continue following; he took a shortcut directly there. At the Lin Family’s private airfield, Gu Zhiyuan’s car had arrived. His car drove right to the airplane parked, and he exited first, approaching the waiting pilot. "Hello, Captain Lin, thank you for waiting. We can depart now." Captain Lin shook his head, "Not a long wait, I just arrived as well. However, Mr. Gu might have to wait a bit now." Gu Zhiyuan’s expression froze, "What do you mean by that, Captain Lin?" Captain Lin smiled slightly, "I just learned that the maintenance department forgot to conduct checks on this plane yesterday. The maintenance crew is currently performing routine checks, so you have to wait for a while, Mr. Gu." Gu Zhiyuan glanced around, indeed seeing several people in blue overalls inspecting the plane. "How long will this inspection take? Roughly when can we fly?" Captain Lin laughed lightly, "Around twenty minutes or so!" Gu Zhiyuan tensed inside; twenty minutes was too long. What if there were any changes? Thinking of this, Gu Zhiyuan wanted to retreat back to the car, but as he did, Captain Lin moved. The orders he received were to stall the person and, upon detecting any attempt to flee, to detain them. Official source ıs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 So when Gu Zhiyuan moved to retreat to the car, Captain Lin acted. Already wary, Gu Zhiyuan immediately drew a pistol from his waist and fired at Captain Lin. Due to being too close, Captain Lin couldn’t dodge in time and took a shot to the stomach, which started bleeding profusely. Despite the gunshot wound, Captain Lin, adept in hand-to-hand combat, disarmed Gu Zhiyuan’s gun while being shot. As Captain Lin disarmed Gu Zhiyuan’s gun, the others also rallied to help. It seemed as though Gu Zhiyuan was subdued, but unexpectedly, the driver of the small car suddenly drew a gun and began shooting wildly, taking down a group of people. At that moment, Qin Xiao arrived. Seeing Qin Xiao, the recently freed Gu Zhiyuan knew it was impossible to leave with Xiao Li, so he picked up the ground pistol and pulled Xiao Li from the car. The anesthesia in Xiao Li’s system had worn off partly, leaving her body less vulnerable, but stabilizing herself was still difficult, let alone resisting. Xiao Li moved her hands twice, trying to push Gu Zhiyuan off, but couldn’t muster the strength! Seeing Xiao Li being dragged away, Qin Xiao was about to explode, his gaze towards Gu Zhiyuan cold and menacing like he was looking at a dead man! With the gun against Xiao Li’s head, Gu Zhiyuan retreated. No one dared to stop him, only watching helplessly as he tried to drag Xiao Li into the aircraft cabin. Retreating with his gun aimed, Gu Zhiyuan whispered in Xiao Li’s ear, "Xiao Li, I don’t want to do this to you either, but if we don’t, neither of us will be able to leave. Don’t be mad! Once we’re on the plane, I’ll take you away, and I’ll treat you well and make it up to you!" Xiao Li calmly asked in a low voice, "You shot the captain, who will fly the plane?" In her ear, Gu Zhiyuan laughed manically, "I can fly it. Bet you didn’t expect that! I know a lot of things, and you’ll find I’m much stronger than Qin Xiao!" Upon hearing he could pilot the plane, Xiao Li felt a pang in her heart—no, she couldn’t let him board the plane!
