"none of you need to exchange with me. huo jiu, your daughter needs you to raise her too, your parents need you to give up your old age, and your employees need you to lead them to make the huo family stronger and bigger. how can you exchange with me? "as for you, mr wu, you have even less of a reason to do so. have you forgotten that your parents are waiting for you at home as well, and that a beautiful fiancée is waiting for you …" he meixin turned her head to the side and refused loudly.

"she meixin, shut up. you don't have the right to talk right now." huo jiajia's face turned ugly as he listened to she meixin. this stupid woman, why didn't she just know how to escape in time?

"my fiancée is right in front of me. if she doesn't come home with me, who will i marry in the future?" wu wei looked at he mei xin with an affectionate expression. his eyes were very much like that night half a year ago when he asked her to marry him. it was so gentle and filled with tender feelings for her.

"wu wei …" he meixin looked into wu wei's eyes and suddenly lost control of his emotions. tears welled up in his eyes.

"so it turns out that you really don't want to part with me. very well, since you don't want them to replace you, then come with me." ye si ze smiled, then dragged he mei xin away.

seeing this, wu wei and huo jiabao immediately chased after him, step by step.

"don't follow, otherwise you will regret it." ye si ze warned them as he watched them closely follow.

but with he meixin right in front of them, how could they give up?

they continued to follow closely behind, their expressions incomparably solemn.

"he's really disobedient." seeing this, ye si ze lowered his gun and shot he mei xin's arm. with a "bang" sound, he mei xin screamed miserably. the bullet pa.s.sed through her arm, leaving behind a b.l.o.o.d.y hole.

"beautiful …"

"he meixin …"

as the sound of the gunfire reached wu wei and huo jiabao's ears, both of them were shocked and shouted loudly.

ye si ze charmingly turned his head to look at the two people following him. smiling, he asked back, "how is it? do you still want to follow me?"

when the two of them heard this, their feet paused. seeing how he mei was so heartbroken that she was about to faint, the blood in their hands flowed nonstop and instantly dyed her sleeves red. her lips, like her face, turned as white as paper.

they didn't dare to take another step forward. seeing that they had finally stopped, ye si ze nodded in satisfaction. "now that's more like it." he then dragged he meiming in another direction.

this villa had a total of several exits, the most hidden of which was a secret pa.s.sage in the bas.e.m.e.nt. it was four kilometers long, and after pa.s.sing through seven streets on the ground, they arrived at a new densely populated area.

from the corridor to the staircase, they followed the whole way down to the bas.e.m.e.nt. she meixin's footsteps also slowed down as more and more blood dripped from her hands.

after finally arriving at the bas.e.m.e.nt with great difficulty, ye si ze entered and closed the door. he gently twisted the wall lamp hanging on the wall, and with two "ka ka" sounds, a secret door appeared in their line of sight. he mei was startled; he didn't expect this house to actually have a secret pa.s.sage like this, if they escaped from here, then wu wei and huo jiabao definitely wouldn't be able to find them.

upstairs, huo jiabao watched ye si ze and he mei xin disappear from his sight. a burst of irritation rose in his heart. he wanted to quickly chase up, but wu wei grabbed his hand.

"young master huo really wants to make a senseless sacrifice?"

"young master wu should worry more about how you're going to get out of here later on. with so many mercenaries around, it must be a big deal." hearing this, huo jiabao sneered. he then turned his head to xia luo who had followed him over and said, "you must be very interested in where they went, right?"

"no need for young master huo to worry." wu wei smiled, turned around and said a few words to the surviving mercenaries, then went downstairs and walked out of the villa.

huo jiabao watched wu wei's back as he left. he never expected that wu wei would come to q city, much less that he would be faster than wu wei. it seemed that his amnesia had recovered very quickly.

"in order to ensure the safety of the hostages, we can't act rashly for the time being. i'll get someone to check the design of this villa. if there are hidden tunnels, we can go to the exit to check." based on his many years of experience in handling cases, xia luo lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then raised his head to speak.

"alright." in this strange city, huo jiu could only listen to his a.n.a.lysis. after all, he didn't know much about this place.

"let's go out. we'll leave it to the police to take care of it."

this was probably the reason why fu muyun recommended charlotte to huo jianji. although he had the name of a private detective, he had a very high standing in the police force. huo jianji's request to help him this time could at least save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

for example, wu wei had brought a mercenary with him to kill his way in. the killing power of a mercenary was indeed strong, but it was still illegal. once caught, the mercenaries would not point out their envoys, but if they were found out, he would get into trouble.

after they entered the secret underground pa.s.sage, they took out money and clothes from a safe in the front section of the secret pa.s.sage and changed into them. following which, they opened the first aid kit inside and took out some blood medicine powder and gauze.

at this moment, she meixin only felt that her arm was completely numb and unconscious. there wasn't a single trace of blood on his lips. her eyes drooped lifelessly as she allowed ye si ze to bandage her wound. she couldn't even feel the pain.

"is he dead?" seeing that he meixin didn't react in the slightest, ye si ze reached out his hand and gently patted her face.

he mei xin lifted her eyelids slightly. feeling the pain in her hand, she snorted lightly.

"get up." seeing that she wasn't unconscious, he grabbed her uninjured left arm and pulled her off the ground. then, he threw a white man's shirt to her and ordered her coldly, "put it on."

at this moment, she meixin did not have the slightest bit of strength left. her numb hands were gradually recovering from the pain. the pain that was so deep that it reached her bones caused beads of sweat to appear on her forehead.

she did not extend her hand to take the clothes he handed to her. instead, her vision darkened as she heavily fell to the side.

"hey …" seeing this, ye si ze quickly supported her. he inwardly cursed, "d.a.m.n!" this woman was simply too weak.

when she meixin woke up, she found herself lying in a rather messy room.
