Chapter 1506

Outside was a small alley, with no trace of Nangong Yun’s men; they likely hadn’t come from this direction.

Guisu had a plan in mind, turned to Baili Xia, and gently said, “Don’t worry, let’s wait a little longer.”

Listening to Guisu’s renewed confident voice, Baili Xia felt somewhat reassured.

She nodded and sat down in the chair.

…

Every minute and second passed, and after about half an hour, a commotion echoed from outside.

Obviously, someone had entered the courtyard, shouting orders to search.

Baili Xia sprang up from the chair and looked at Guisu.

Guisu furrowed his brow; he went to the window and looked out once more.

Only after confirming no one was there did he open the window.

“Let’s go.”

At this moment, he dared not take any more risks.

Staying would only mean waiting for death.

Waiting was not his style!

Guisu climbed out of the window first.

After ensuring the surroundings were clear, he beckoned to Baili Xia, indicating for her to come out.

Baili Xia moved to the window, ready to leave, but suddenly remembered something and quickly walked back to the bed.

Guisu felt a twinge of surprise, not understanding what Baili Xia was doing at such a critical moment.

Baili Xia reached the bed, picked up the bag used to store items, and emptied everything from the trash can into it.

Then she also approached the table and placed the used dishes and chopsticks inside.

After doing all this, she quickly walked to the window and climbed out.

Once outside, she purposely closed the window.

Only then did Guisu understand Baili Xia’s intentions.

She was worried about leaving evidence behind and implicating the old lady.

This girl was truly meticulous; only someone as compassionate as she was since childhood would consider everything for others.

Despite knowing her for so long, why was it only today that he recognized this?

Once Baili Xia was out, Guisu grabbed her and quickly ran towards the depths of the alley.

Shortly after they exited, Nangong Yun’s men searched the room where they had hidden.

These people were professionally trained, conducting a thorough search without missing any potential hiding places.

Soon, they discovered the secret door behind the wardrobe.

Mrs.

Chen stepped out quickly and said, “This is my son’s room; you can’t go in.”

A man who appeared to be the leader snorted disdainfully and pushed her aside.

Viciously, he said, “Hidden so well, there must be something odd. Open it for me.”

Upon hearing this, his subordinates immediately surrounded the door and aimed their guns at the entrance.

One of the subordinates stepped forward and kicked the already somewhat old wooden door.

The door fell to the ground with a bang.

At this moment, Mrs.

Chen’s heart sank.

She hadn’t expected that these people would find the room so quickly.

Years ago, her son had hidden here for many years without being discovered.

However, the room was utterly silent.

A subordinate slowly walked inside, glanced around, and turned back to report, “Boss, there’s no one.”

Mrs.

Chen was somewhat surprised, not knowing when Baili Xia and the others left.

But seeing no one was found, she finally felt relieved.

“See, this is really my son’s place, empty.”

The leader snorted coldly and ignored her, heading out of the courtyard.

Just as he reached the yard, a subordinate ran in hastily from outside.

“Boss, we’ve spotted a man and woman to the east; must be them.”

“Chase.”

At the leader’s command, everyone swiftly left Mrs.

Chen’s house and pursued in the direction of Baili Xia and Guisu.
