Chapter 1295: I Want to Make You Stay (173)

The secret passageway did not lead to the world outside the estate at all.

This was...

After going round in circles, he still ended up in the estate.

However, it was much better here compared to the mansion, because there were fewer guards around to keep close tabs on him.

His mood was instantly lifted at the thought of it.

However... Fan Shixin should be back any time soon. It would be terrible if he finds out that I’m here.

Speak of the devil.

As soon as he heard the footsteps approaching the door, Henry frantically stood behind the clothes rack, which was full of Fan Shixin’s clothes, thus allowing him to stay hidden.

The first thing Fan Shixin did when he returned was to take a shower, thus giving Henry the chance to escape as well. When Fan Shixin removed his clothes and headed to the bathroom in a pair of shorts, Henry hurriedly removed his own and put on Fan Shixin’s. He had even put on Fan Shixin’s cap before grabbing his own clothing and making his exit with Fan Shixin’s car keys. He decided to leave a note for Fan Shixin on the table.

He then headed straight to the garage to collect Fan Shixin’s car, put on the surgical mask, and drove through the entrance. He managed to pass through successfully.

Henry’s cells were bursting with euphoria. He had finally managed to sneak out of the estate using his own wits. What he had to do next was to remove the GPS tracker.

His lips curled into a sinister smile, and he stepped onto the accelerator while surging forward.

Fan Shixin was dumbfounded and shocked beyond words the moment he discovered that his clothes and car keys had gone missing, as well as that there was a note on the table.

He rapidly called the guards in the guard room. After hearing that Henry had left, he hurriedly instructed his subordinates to find out his exact location.

He put on his clothes and immediately took chase.

However, Henry had been gone for more than half an hour already.

A lot could be done in half an hour.

Hence, Fan Shixin immediately rushed to the location with his subordinates after verifying Henry’s whereabouts.

After knocking on the car door and receiving no response, Fan Shixin decided to open the door.

There was no one in the car at all. Fan Shixin discovered that his clothes, car keys, and Henry’s GPS tracker were in the car.

There was a note as well.

It read: “I won’t get into trouble. I just want to stay out and roam freely for a few days. Will you allow me the freedom to enjoy peace for a few days?”

Fan Shixin was utterly speechless.

Needless to say, he definitely wouldn’t fulfill Henry’s wishes. He immediately sent his subordinates to continue trying to track Henry down.

However, Henry was just like a wild horse that had been set free. He definitely wouldn’t allow himself to be caught easily.

It did not cross Fan Shixin’s mind that he would sneak out of the nation and cross the borders illegally. Henry felt that the only way he could take a breather was by going overseas.

At this juncture, he did not have the time to pick where to go at all and simply boarded a random ship. He only realized after the ship sailed off that they were headed toward R Nation.

——

The sky had just turned dark, and An Xiaoning was already getting ready to set off. This time, she did not put on her wig because she found it to be a hindrance. Hence, she decided to just put on a hat.

Donggong Lianzhi said, “Since there are people watching us outside, it would be difficult for us to avoid them.”

“We definitely can’t go out by the main entrance, of course. It’d be best to trick them into thinking that we’re at home all day. Only then will your family let their guards down, because they wouldn’t be expecting that we would show up at the mansion all of a sudden at night.”

“Where do we leave from, then?” Although he hated to admit it, he could not help but find himself to be clueless around her.

“There are lots of ways. Follow me,” said An Xiaoning.

Donggong Lianzhi had no idea what her plans were and had no other option than to follow her into the elevator.

Instead of heading to the first floor, An Xiaoning chose to stop on the second floor.

They exited from the elevator, and An Xiaoning led him to a staircase, after which they made their way up.

She was well aware that there were window grills at the turning point from the first floor to the second floor, whereas there were none from the second to the third.

An Xiaoning decided to open the windows first before wrapping the rope around his waist. She then said to him, “Go down from here. I’ll be pulling you from upstairs. You must grip the rope tightly. Although it’s not too high up, it’s still going to hurt if you fall off.”

“Alright.” Without hesitation, Donggong Lianzhi climbed over the railing and straddled the windowpane before grabbing the rope tightly. He then made his descent slowly.

An Xiaoning grabbed the rope on her end tightly until he had landed safely. However, Donggong Lianzhi began to wonder just how she would manage to make her way down without anyone up there to hold the rope for her.

He gasped in shock the moment he saw An Xiaoning climbing over the window and casting the hooked end of her rope toward the window grille next door. She then grabbed the rope tightly with both hands and leaped off. The momentum of the rope then swung her over to the grille and allowed her to slide downward slowly.

She then gave the rope a tug to remove it from the window grille. Since the car was parked by the corridor outside the main entrance, they had no choice but to climb over the wall of the estate in order to leave.

They left the lights on in the apartment so as to create the false image of them being at home.

They hailed a taxi to a spot near the Donggong family mansion. An Xiaoning asked softly, “How many doors are there in your family’s mansion?”

“Two. One at the front and one at the back. The one at the back is usually meant for servants. However, it’s also the most crowded. I do know of a place where we can enter without being captured by the surveillance cameras.”

“Where?”

“Come with me.”

“...”

A few minutes later, they arrived at a door. An Xiaoning asked, “Where’s this place?”

“This is a forbidden area, and I heard from my family when I was a child that it’s haunted in here. It’s been abandoned for decades, and no one has ever dared to enter. However, it’s only one wall away from the main mansion. There are no surveillance cameras on the wall too.”

“Haunted? Aren’t you afraid, then?”

“I heard that you’re a supernatural expert so I doubt there’ll be any issues even if it’s really haunted. Besides, we’re only going to pass by for a while. We won’t be staying there for long.”

An Xiaoning nodded and took out her night vision goggles. “There are dim lights around here. Put this on, you’ll be able to see clearly at night.”

He took it from her and put it on before entering the dilapidated house with her.

As soon as they stepped foot inside, An Xiaoning began coughing violently for a long while before saying softly, “This is indeed a sinister place. Can’t you smell that stench?”

“I can,” Donggong Lianzhi said with a frown, feeling rather nauseated.
