Chapter 1596: I Don’t Have Any Regrets. You...
Ning Shu pressed against the wall. In all probability, the old man was in this villa. However, it had quite a few rooms. So, where was the old man?
Before she had a clear picture of the situation, she could not act rashly in case they decided to hurt the old man.
Plus, it was unknown how many people were inside. Ning Shu wasn’t sure she could beat them all.
Ning Shu raised her head and noticed an air conditioning box. She carefully climbed a tree next to the villa, mobilized her energy, and jumped to the air conditioning box. Using it as leverage, she leaped to the balcony of the second-floor room.
After walking into the room, Ning Shu turned on the flashlight and scanned her surroundings. This was a bedroom without anyone inside.
At that moment, Ning Shu suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor outside. She hurriedly turned off the flashlight.
When the footsteps disappeared, Ning Shu slowly and gently opened the door. Fortunately, the noise in the living room downstairs could be heard here.
The smell of cigarettes and alcohol also washed over her nose.
There were really quite a few people here.
Luckily, she hadn’t rushed straight in before.
Otherwise, even if each person only stabbed her one time, she would be reduced to minced meat.
Ning Shu slipped into the next room. It was also pitch black. She turned the flashlight on but did not see the old man’s figure.
Where exactly was he?
Since this room was empty, Ning Shu switched rooms. However, this one was brightly lit. She instantly pulled out the fruit knife tied to the calf in defense.
The old man was being tied to a heavy solid wooden chair, and his face was ghastly white.
Ning Shu hurriedly walked over and called in a small voice, “Dad.”
The old man opened his eyes slightly. He froze for a moment when he saw Ning Shu. “Why are you here?”
Ning Shu cut the rope with the knife and whispered to him, “Let’s not talk about that first. I’ll put you on my back and escape.”
“There are too many of them. Lina, Dad’s already old. I don’t have any regrets. You...” The old man still wanted to talk, but Ning Shu put him on her back and accidentally touched his wound. The pain immediately shut him up.
Ning Shu used the rope to tie the old man to herself. Next, she used her free hands to tie the rope to the bed’s legs. She then flung the rope over the window and slowly slid down.
As the rope rubbed against her hand, the friction made it hot and painful.
Furthermore, she was bearing the weight of two people. There was piercing pain in her palm. Most likely, her skin was ruptured.
After finally getting down, Ning Shu stuck close to the wall. She carried the old man to the parking place, loosened the rope, and put him into the car. Finally, Ning Shu hurriedly drove away.
When the car traveled some distance, Ning Shu heaved a sigh of relief.
It was considered lucky to have saved the old man so smoothly. No, it should be thanks to Shi Lina’s tireless investigation of Xi Mucheng. As a result, she knew the location of Xi Mucheng’s villa.
Ning Shu took out her cell phone and called the police. At that time, she saw several cars speeding toward her from the rearview mirror.
Could it be that they discovered the old man was missing?
Ning Shu’s face turned solemn. She pressed hard on the gas pedal and zoomed straight... to the police station.
Since they f*cking came after her, she’d like to see if they dared to chase her to the end!
The cars behind were coming fast. Some people were sticking their heads out of the windows, screaming at Ning Shu to stop.
Ning Shu didn’t pay them any attention. She pursed her lips as she focused on the gas pedal.
Since she had called the police, there were police cars heading towards Ning Shu. Soon, she saw the police mobiles. Right away, the cars chasing her immediately turned around and turned tail.
By this time, Ning Shu was finally relieved enough to look back at the old man. He had already passed out.
