Chapter 584: Discovered
With a forehead full of sweat, Gu Qingjiu watched Zong Wenjia hang on the backyard wall like a lizard.
In the blink of an eye, she jumped to another place.
Thankfully, everyone was in the hall.
When Lie Feng wanted to enter the backyard from the front, he was denied entry.
People in the center yard were blocking off the guests, but nobody came to look over here.
Occasional patrols didn’t discover Zong Wenjia, who was swift in her actions.
Zong Wenjia didn’t manage to find anything in the study, only an encrypted USB flash drive.
She didn’t get to see the contents yet, but merely ran a check and found out that it was encrypted before taking it away with her.
The few of them weren’t greedy. Zong Wenxuan and Lie Feng evacuated first.
Subsequently, Gu Qingjiu helped Zong Wenjia keep a lookout and enabled her to run from the back hall directly.
But after Zong Wenjia had changed out of her gown and was about to leap onto roofs and vault over walls, she saw the couple Gu Qingjiu saw earlier.
“Oh, my eyes!”
Zong Wenjia cursed softly over the ear mic. Gu Qingjiu nearly couldn’t hold herself back from laughing out loud.
However, as the night breeze blew at her, the smile froze on Gu Qingjiu’s lips.
Movement!
She instantly turned her head and saw a patrolling guard walking over from the other side of the slope.
She was lying on her stomach now. If she were to stand up, that person would undoubtedly discover her.
This was because there wasn’t anything blocking one’s view of the surroundings.
Gu Qingjiu decisively fired a shot at the other party.
“…”
No response.
Gu Qingjiu felt like breaking down.
Why did those people only load two bullets in this gun?
Were they kidding or what!
To avoid arousing the other party’s attention, Gu Qingjiu pressed her head to the floor instantly.
She slipped her gun-wielding hand under her stomach, pretending she had fallen unconscious.
“Newbie?”
“Newbie!”
The voices of Zong Wenjia and the rest rang over the ear mic, but Gu Qingjiu didn’t reply to any of them.
That patrolling guard held a torchlight in his hands and was aimed it everywhere, and he immediately discovered Gu Qingjiu, who was lying down on her stomach.
She was dressed in a denim dress today that revealed her fair and long legs, forming a stark contrast with the soil underneath.
“Eh?”
That patrolling guard was rather bold. Seeing someone lying there, he walked closer to her strangely.
He didn’t even suspect that it might be a ghost in this remote wilderness.
He edged closer to Gu Qingjiu and first kicked at her waist.
As though he was trying to test if Gu Qingjiu would respond.
There was a small rock against her forehead where she was lying, making her face suspend in mid-air such that she didn’t have to breathe in the soil. Also, her eyes were widened.
Seeing that Gu Qingjiu wasn’t responding to the kick, the patrolling guard cautiously crouched down and sent a message at the same time. “Team Number Two, please come over here. I discovered a woman in the back of the mountain. Seems like she has fallen unconscious…”
Bang!
As he spoke, he rolled over Gu Qingjiu’s body with a hand.
Borrowing the momentum of being rolled over, Gu Qingjiu abruptly got up and mercilessly smacked the gun handle on his forehead.
He merely let out a muffled ‘hmph’ before falling unconscious.
An urgent voice rang over the walkie-talkie at his waist. Ignoring that, Gu Qingjiu grabbed the binoculars on the ground and maniacally ran downslope.
“Hurry, come over and fetch me! I’ve been discovered!”
She said as she ran.
She wasn’t too far away from the villa, but suddenly, a series of dog barks rang from inside the villa.
Tens of torchlights shone towards the back of the mountain.
Once Lie Feng and the rest heard Gu Qingjiu’s words, they speedily drove towards Gu Qingjiu’s direction.
