Perhaps, some people are the doom of some people, and some people are the salvation of some people.

-- Inheritance

I was taken to a luxurious villa on the outskirts of the city, locked up in a room on the second floor, and more than an hour had passed, and I hadn't seen Jossi, or rather, no one had visited.

Outside the door was heavily guarded, and in the courtyard downstairs were busy waiters and bodyguards patrolling back and forth, looking at the white tables and plates of food that gradually grew in the open space of the courtyard, I knew that Zosi's drinking party was going to be held here.

I suddenly thought of my grandmother's words, Zosi should not arrive until four o'clock in the afternoon, and now at three o'clock, if I don't face Zosi directly, this group of bodyguards should not be difficult to deal with, which means that I can find an opportunity to escape again.

At that moment, the door opened, and a maid walked in with a few gowns in her hand.

The maid bowed and said respectfully: "Miss Liuzhi, this is the reception dress prepared for you by the young master, please choose one of them, and someone will come to put on makeup for you in a while." ”

Is this going to let me go to the party? What kind of medicine is sold in his gourd?

I didn't want to think about the rare opportunity, so I nodded and replied, "Okay, you can put it down first." ”

"Yes." She walked to the bed, and the moment she bent down with her back to me to lower the gown, I picked up one of the vases and smashed it straight at the back of her neck.

I took off the uniform of the maid who was knocked unconscious, put on my clothes, thought about it, and dragged her into the closet to hide her, for no other reason, if a group of bodyguards rushed in after a while and found that the maid's uniform had been changed, I would definitely pay more attention to the people in the maid's uniform, I can't leave myself a hidden danger.

So he immediately took action, tying the sheets and bedding end to end to form a rope several meters long, one end of which was tied to the railing on the balcony outside the bedroom, and the other end, if it went down, should extend almost into the open space in the courtyard downstairs.

I was not in a hurry to go down the other end of the "rope", but waited for the opportunity, and hurriedly threw the other end of the "rope" down when the bodyguards and waiters in the courtyard were leaving.

The moment the "rope" was thrown down, I hurriedly turned to the door and shouted in a tone similar to that of the maid just now: "Someone! ”

At the same time, he hurriedly hid in the closet before a group of bodyguards rushed in.

Of course, my original intention was not to climb down this "rope" that was not strong, so that not only would it be easy to fall, but also that I would definitely run into the bodyguards patrolling within five seconds of landing, you know, as a woman who is not very good in physical strength, I have no chance of winning alone with even one bodyguard.

As soon as the closet door closed, a group of bodyguards broke down the door, saw that the room was empty, and rushed to the balcony again, and found a "rope" tied to the railing that extended to the ground.

One of the leaders shouted: "Miss has fled, chase!" ”

The crowd rushed downstairs without even suspecting where the maid had never left my room was.

Dressed in the uniform of a maid, I walked out of the room with my head bowed.

At this time, there was no one in the corridor on the entire second floor, not even a single figure on the first floor, everyone was already in a mess, searching around in the courtyard.

If I'm not mistaken, the waiters and most of the bodyguards in the entire villa are not people brought by Zosi from the Furcummings family in the United States, since it is someone outside the family, and Zosi has always kept my identity secret, I think that except for the few bodyguards who just brought me, very few people will know me, and I have a better chance of escaping from the chaos.

I hid in the corner and watched carefully, because most people didn't know me, so most of them were looking for the general outline and clothing described by the bodyguards, I changed into the uniform of the maid and tied the same hair ornament, even though there were many people passing by, I did not attract their attention.

But the bad thing is that due to our escape, the gate of the villa has also been strengthened, and ordinary people must not be able to get out, especially women. When I was embarrassed, someone tapped me on the shoulder, and I subconsciously exclaimed, but the person covered my mouth and nose.

The man whispered in my ear, "Don't be afraid, Miss Ruori, it's me." ”

Seeing that I had stopped struggling, he let me go.

"Uncle Werther?" I exclaimed, "Why did you come to China too?" ”

"Young Master Zosi didn't bring many people from the United States this time, so I came over before him to arrange the situation here." Uncle Witt lowered his voice and said, "I just saw that they captured you, and I was in a dilemma about how to get you out of the well-guarded room, but fortunately you escaped, and I will take you away before the young master arrives." ”

"Wait," I grabbed him and looked at the gate, "I'm afraid I'll ...... if the guards are so tight."

Uncle Witt smiled, "Miss, don't worry, I'll drive you, they won't suspect me when they see me, not to mention that almost no one here knows you, plus your clothes, I said to go out for the cocktail party, no problem." ”

Of course, the doorman will not suspect him, and the entire Furcummins family will not suspect him, Uncle Witt followed his father when he was young, and as a special assistant was his father's right-hand man, after his father's death, he assisted Zosi, who had just come to power, with the help of Uncle Witt, who was familiar with the family business, could quickly enter the role, become an excellent president, and also became an excellent leader of the family. So an elder like Uncle Werther, even Zosi loves him very much.

"I know. However, if Zosi finds out that I am missing, he will definitely check the surveillance records of the doorman, and he will find that you took me out, even if you hide me in the trunk, at this moment, the doorman will only let me go after searching the car. ”

He laughed, "That's right, Miss Liuori, my logical thinking ability has improved a lot, it's just that I have also heard about the reason why Miss escaped two years ago, I watched Miss grow up, and I really don't want Miss to marry someone she doesn't like, and the situation may be more serious if she is caught back this time, so ...... Hurry. ”

As he spoke, he took me to a car as far as possible through the blind corner that the monitor couldn't photograph.

"Uncle Werther...... "I was about to say something, but he was stuffed into the car."

"Don't worry," he started the car, "at most, the young master will let me retire early, and he will not be willing to punish me heavily." ”

I said no more, keeping my head down and trying not to attract attention.

After a while, the car drove to the door, and the doorman saluted respectfully: "Mr. McKelson, since someone has escaped in the villa, in order to prevent her from escaping in the car, please get out of the car and cooperate with the inspection." ”

"Of course." Uncle Witt nodded, and got out of the car, and I followed.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

As he spoke, a security guard walked to the side of the car, carefully inspected the interior of the car, opened the trunk to check, and after a while, nodded at the doorman.

The doorman approached and fixed his gaze on me, "Who is this?" ”

"Oh, she's the one I've hired to be in charge of the party." Uncle Witt said indifferently.

The doorman naturally didn't dare to challenge the authority of the president's special assistant, so he didn't ask anything, and nodded briefly to let him go.

I breathed a sigh of relief and took a step to get into the car, when suddenly there was a crisp applause behind me, accompanied by an empty and distant voice.

All my blood and all my thoughts came at once.

"Wonderful, 22 minutes and 17 seconds, there is progress."

Turning around, the tall Zosi was as similar as the noble and distant boy in the winter sun in his memory, but it was completely different.

If I was scared from the moment I heard the news that he was coming, the moment I really saw him, my heart was calm beyond my imagination.

The Zosi in front of me, my brother who is not related by blood, is the only person I have ever loved, and the only one who has hurt me so badly. In the past two years, his handsome appearance has not changed slightly, his awe-inspiring figure is even stronger, the short platinum blonde hair seems to be rubbed into the fine sunlight, and the corners of his lips outline a perfect arc, like a god.

But I was surprised to find that he had just come from the direction of the house, not outside the gate, that is, he had already arrived.

Uncle Witt also found out about this, and he let me go and was caught red-handed, and there was already a trace of panic in his calm voice, "Young master, when did you arrive?" ”

"An hour ago." He stared at me the whole time, slowly approaching two steps and standing straight in front of me, "Long time no see, Ruori." ”

I didn't say anything, but I didn't bow my head humbly, I raised my head to meet his gaze.

He curled the corners of his lips, and his gaze never moved slightly, "Fortunately, I arrived early, otherwise, I would have missed the wonderful escape technique, did you stay weaving?" ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning a little.

He has been watching me in the dark, and he sees all my carving skills, just to see how long I can struggle and what tricks I can play. When he got tired of seeing it, he showed up and threw me a cruel smile.

Are they so passionate about this cat-versus-mouse game? Zuoxi is, and so is the former Si Tianzhe.

As if to see through what I was thinking, Zoshi said leisurely, "Don't think too much about Ruori, the monitoring system here is very imperfect, and I don't need to monitor your every move, otherwise, wouldn't it be too victorious?" Looking at my slightly surprised expression, he actually smiled triumphantly, "I only need to stand on the balcony of the room on the second floor and stare at the door of the villa, it is enough." ”

Silently, I believe his words, this is the difference between a man who is competent to be the head of a large family and the president of the group, and a mere mortal - Zosi always gets to the point. In this regard, I was doomed to fail miserably.

After ordinary people are shocked to find someone fleeing, their first reaction is naturally to guard the door of the villa, and then search in the villa. Because searching around is subconscious, they simply won't put all their strength on guarding the door, or even focus on guarding the door. And the more people who search, the more psychological advantage they have, thinking that the survivors will not have the ability to escape to the door without being caught by them, so they will mobilize more and more manpower to search, but more and more ignore the door, of course, this approach is very effective for catching untrained survivors, but I am not.

Yes, I practiced, to be exact, a game I used to play with Zoshi when I was a kid.

In the villa, one person escapes, and one person searches.

Calculate from the beginning of the escape, see who is caught by the other party for a long time, whoever wins, or the survivor who has a way to escape to the villa gate, wins.

As Zosi said, my performance today is indeed better than two years ago, but Zosi is really smart, and the goal of the game is no longer "to see who gets caught by the other party", but only to "escape to the door". I'm not going to hide in the villa until I'm found, and then I'm going to run to the door in every possible way, Zosi just needs to watch the door and wait for me to appear.

On the other hand, this group of searchers, like them, put a lot of manpower on the search in the villa, and when the search was fruitless and had to turn to the door, the experienced survivors had already managed to break through the weak link in the door and escaped.

Zoshi spoke softly, interrupting my frantic thoughts, "Anyway, there are only three and a half hours left before the drinking party begins, and I wonder if Ruori should go and prepare." ”

I stood still and didn't react.

Zosi leaned down slightly and whispered in my ear, "How is Miss Horshi?" I've always wanted to visit her, but luckily, I'll be able to see her in a moment. I don't want to cause any unpleasantness at the party, but if someone won't cooperate......"

This blunt warning or threat made me bite my lower lip, and if Zosi could catch me under the secret of my grandmother, it would have been easy for him to do something to my grandmother.

Now that the winner has been decided, I have no choice.

I looked up and walked straight into the villa.
