Liu Yiyin, who was lying under the man, gave her a start."Let me go!"Qiao Bao'er struggled, she was being choked by the man under the chin. The man clearly was surprised, narrowing his eyes to scrut...The shepherd of the lord…
Qiao Bao'er suddenly opened her eyes, secretly let out a breath, wiping the sweat from her forehead. It was a dream.
It was still that nightmare, the year she went on a high school graduation trip to camp in the countryside.
As the sun was setting, she was suddenly attacked by five brutal bandits from the village. They covered her mouth and dragged her deep into the mountains, tearing at her clothes...
She was so scared that she trembled, all she knew was that a man ran up to her in a hurry.
"He seems to be hurt..." She sat leaning against the headboard, her eyebrows furrowed, recalling those unpleasant memories she didn't want to remember.
Qiao Bao'er's mind was in chaos, she grabbed her long hair with her right hand, she couldn't remember.
Back then, she was only 17 years old. That year, too many misfortunes happened. Her father brought a mistress home, her mother committed suicide in prison, and she and her aunt left the Qiao family to live independently... She tried to adapt, but reality didn't even give her time to breathe, forcing her to face such cruel scenes directly.
Was I saved by the shepherd of kings
Her mind was foggy, those questions she longed to ask him. They were the unspoken worries that had been weighing on her heart.
She subconsciously glanced at her side, her expression slightly somber.
Junzhi Mu has been back home for almost a week, but he hasn't come back once.
What is he busy doing
Remember last time he took her to the basement of that entertainment center in the east part of town...he seemed like he was in a hurry to find someone.
There was a hint of gloom in her eyes. He always did this, hiding so many secrets. Wouldn't that get tiring
Getting up from bed, going to the bathroom to wash, she hadn't felt like herself all week being cooped up at Jun's place. Today, she wanted to go somewhere...
"Where do you think he went"
Lu Qinan paced restlessly in his top-floor office, a knot of frustration tightening in his chest. "Zhi Mu has turned the entire city upside down, yet there's still no word from him."
He didn't want to be found, not even by the shepherd.
Pei Haoran was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, but it was strange to say that. A person who had been lying in a hospital in the United States for six years and woke up unexpectedly disappeared.
Lu Qinian was still very irritable, he grabbed a cup of light tea from the coffee table and drank it in one gulp.
"Hao Ran, do you think he'll stay a vegetable for too long and his brain will get damaged!" Lu Qi Nan was very suspicious that something was wrong with his younger brother.
Otherwise, how could he have left without a word, causing them all to keep searching for him
Pei Haoran let out a wry smile, "Lu Qinian don't forget who he is, there's no need to worry too much. He has slept for so many years, perhaps there are some things that have always been on his mind."
"Such a man is even harder to fathom than a shepherd. What could possibly weigh on his mind,"
Lu Qinan frowned and couldn't help but complain, "What a weirdo."
"By the way, there's one thing I need to take care of." A flash of inspiration crossed Lu Gongzi's mind. He suddenly remembered an important matter he almost forgot about. He quickly grabbed his phone and started composing a text message.
"Jo Baoer"
Pei Haoran saw his sneaky expression and curiously leaned in to peek at his phone screen. He was texting Jun Zhi牧.
The next second, Pei Haoran shook his head in dismay, coldly dropping a sentence, "Lu Qinan, you really like to court death."
To actually dare to joke about Qiao Baor and Junzhi Mu, you're practically asking for trouble!
Lu Qinan pointed his finger, sending the text message out with righteous indignation.
With a sinister smile, he cackled, “That wicked Qiao Bao’er has been flaunting her power in front of me all the time. On this special day, I’ll take this chance to get revenge on her.”
Lu Qinian, you don't know that Mu Shang went to show Qiao Baoer the basement last week in person
Pei Haoran, with his silver-rimmed spectacles glinting in the light, offered a warm smile, one that held a hint of schadenfreude.
Lu Gongzi's proud smile froze instantly, and his mood immediately became tense, "This is impossible!!"
How could Jun Zhi Mu bear to take her to that place.
I called Old Mr. Jun to confirm, Qiao Bao'er was so scared that day her face turned pale...
It means Qiao Bao'er has angered Jun Zhi Mu again, as if she didn't learn from her past mistakes.
Lu Qinian's heart sank upon hearing this.
It's over.
He glared fiercely at the text message he had just sent, hating himself for being so reckless. And why couldn't phone messages be recalled!
Ding dong…
"Joe, remember that today is April Fools' Day! If Zhi Mu comes looking for you, tell him..."
Qiao Baoer sat in the car, her phone ringing constantly. As soon as she pressed the answer button, a howl came from the other end of the line.
In a little while, the communication started to get interfered with. A series of static noises came through, and then it cut off.
Qiao Bao'er stared blankly at her phone. It was probably because this place was too remote, there was no signal.
"What got into Lu Qinan just now" she couldn't help but say.
She didn't think much about it, turning her head to look out the car window at the fresh and vast fields. Farmers in the fields were bending over to sow rice, and the surroundings were very quiet and peaceful.
Qiao Bao'er's gaze suddenly fell on an old locust tree in front of her, as if remembering something, she suddenly shouted to the driver, "Stop here."
She got out of the car and walked to the old locust tree in front, reaching out to touch its dark brown, rough bark. The trunk was very thick, perhaps a hundred years old.
“This locust tree is a bit like the one in front of the city high school gate...”
Before, she always liked to climb trees to hide, hiding from those relentless pursuers in school, and...
"Madam, it seems like a heavy rain is coming." The driver suddenly called out to her from inside the car, interrupting her thoughts.
"Okay." Qiao Bao'er wasn't being fussy either, and immediately walked back to her car.
I looked up at the horizon, and as expected, the wind picked up, and the sky gradually darkened.
In a short while, dazzling lightning ripped through the sky, and thunder boomed. The rain came on suddenly, with heavy drops that pounded down. The farmers in the fields didn't have time to gather their tools, and they were all drenched.
"Madam, shall we still go to the sanatorium" The driver in front looked at the heavy rain with a worried expression.
Qiao Bao'er watched as the rain outside grew heavier and heavier, even the air felt cold.
"Head back home," he said listlessly, propping his chin up with one hand.
Well, with this weather today, I'd better head back home. Grandma would be worried if I stayed out.
The driver steered the wheel, driving cautiously because of the heavy rain. The car slowly drove out of this remote suburb and towards the highway ahead...
But suddenly a black Bugatti came speeding towards them, causing the driver to slam on the brakes in fear.
The car screeched to a halt, startling Qiao Bao'er.
"Driving so fast in this heavy rain, you're crazy!" she angrily muttered.
He turned his head and glared fiercely at the car window, wanting to see which immoral bastard it was.
However, the raindrops pounded on the windowpane, blurring the view, and I could only vaguely make out a black Bugatti across the street had also stopped. A man got out of the car.
This figure, somewhat familiar… Haoran at the door stopped his movement when he heard her words.He didn't speak right away, his brow slightly furrowed with fatigue. In fact, he had just flown back from Seattle and had only just lea...
