What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 112: Time Passing Like Years

As the fire broke out in the backyard storage room, the chaos in the front yard also underwent a change.

The guards who were driven out by the foul odor dared not leave easily, so someone decided to use a hairdryer to blow the smell away.

Unbeknownst to them, a figure had hidden behind the safe in the confusion. With the gust of wind, both the person and the safe floated out of the secret room.

Guard: “???”

Long Qi Jia had secretly hidden in the secret room for a while during the chaos, and no one had noticed. Taking advantage of the sudden gust of wind, the half-ton safe was carried away… It contained all the Wang family’s incriminating account books!

Who could have imagined that someone could move a safe like that! How much force could a mere hairdryer have? Newton would have risen from his grave to witness this!

The guards were dumbfounded for a moment, then shouted in unison and chased after them, “Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang! Someone has stolen the safe!”

The crowd outside, who had been in a chaotic pursuit of Zhong Yi and others, came to a stunned halt as they watched the safe gently floating in the air, making its way outside the villa’s fence.

However, outside, the wind had stopped.

Long Qi Jia: “What the hell?”

How could there be no wind on a calm autumn night…

He awkwardly stumbled and fell while carrying the safe, which weighed four times his own weight.

Wang Xiangdong burst into laughter, his expression sinister as he watched Long Qi Jia fall onto the sharp end of the iron fence. “You thought your ability was all about controlling the wind?”

Everyone suddenly realized.

Wang Xiangdong’s ability was the true wind manipulation, capable of influencing and even stopping the wind within a certain range! Unfortunately, it seemed that he couldn’t control the wind in reverse, otherwise Long Qi Jia would have been blown back by the wind.

But now it was even more ruthless—Long Qi Jia fell from above the fence, and such a fall would surely pierce him through!

However, Zhong Yi casually pulled out a round paper fan from the street with an advertisement for infertility treatment. With a light “whoosh,” he swung it.

With just this gentle breeze, Long Qi Jia felt like a fish in water, gliding smoothly along the fence and out.

Wang Xiangdong was stunned and angrily shouted, “What are you standing there for? Take out your guns and shoot him dead!”

Originally, Wang Xiangdong didn’t want to resort to using guns, fearing that things would escalate and not end well. But now there was no choice. The contents of the safe that Long Qi Jia took away were too important. Once they fell into the hands of the police, it wouldn’t matter if you were charged with using a gun…

The security guards all pulled out their guns, aiming them at Long Qi Jia outside.

Lights illuminated the darkness of the night.

Outside, it was filled with vague figures of police officers, all pointing their guns towards the villa.

Lin Wuyang brought Long Qi Jia and the safe to a tree and let out a long sigh of relief. “With these things in hand, it’s time to uproot you cancerous tumors from Nanjiang. My name is not Lin if I don’t do it!”

The fire in the backyard began to spread, casting an illuminating glow on Wang Xiangdong’s grim face. “Lin Wuyang, do you think you’ve won? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?”

Lin Wuyang shouted loudly, “Those troubles mean nothing! If I can make all of you end up in jail, at least Nanjiang will have won!”

…………

The police systematically took people into custody and extinguished the fire. They rescued both the Iron Anvil and the two groups of Wang family members from the fire scene, taking them away separately in a busy manner.

The people in the Black Room didn’t want to deal with the police and went to the back door to find Zhang Qiren. They wanted to settle the score with him.

At this time, Chu Ge had gone with Hai Dongqing to surrender to Lin Wuyang, coincidentally diverting away from the chaotic scene and not encountering them.

As a result, Panda and his group aggressively sought out Zhang Qiren, only to be met with a desolate face. “Are you here to cause trouble for me? Well, Rong Fu was my invitation. I only asked them to teach you a lesson. I never expected him to use a knife… And as for Chef Jin, I didn’t ask him to go at all. He went on his own… I can only say that hiring uncontrollable wolves will lead to their own downfall, just like the Wang family, and me as well… If you’re angry, go ahead and beat me. I won’t fight back.”

Panda and Wan Zijun looked at each other. This Zhang guy, who had always given them a sinister and fierce impression, with a sharp edge, why was he like this today… Even just a moment ago, he was fierce, setting fires without hesitation, a natural killer. Could it be that he had become despondent because he couldn’t successfully steal something? It couldn’t be…

This appearance actually dampened the flames of revenge among the people in the Black Room. They looked at each other for a long time, and Wan Zijun, who was the most seriously injured, spoke on behalf of everyone. “Forget it, what’s the point of beating you up? You wealthy folks can compensate us with some money for our medical expenses, consider it as payment for this operation, and we’ll be even.”

Zhang Qiren replied weakly, “Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

Zhong Yi looked at Zhang Qiren thoughtfully. He didn’t know about the affair between Zhang Qiren and Moon Shadow, but he thought of something else. “Do you feel like your father has played a trick on you again? But there’s no need to lose your spirit. You don’t seem like the Zhang Qiren I know.”

Zhang Qiren was taken aback, and a glimmer of regained insight emerged. He furrowed his brows and said, “Could it be that my father didn’t intervene because he knew… because he knew the police were coming?”

“In that case, he would at least give you a warning,” Zhong Yi sighed. “I think your father’s thoughts are somewhat contradictory. He might not necessarily care about your life and death. Don’t blame me for sowing discord, just take it as a piece of advice.”

Zhang Qiren replied, “Whether you’re sowing discord or not, these words have no meaning to me. I only have one path, and I can only continue walking it.”

Zhong Yi said, “You should also realize that the environment in China is not conducive to carrying out your plans. This path is not viable for you. The more capable you are, the faster you will die.”

Zhang Qiren looked at him with a furrowed brow.

Zhong Yi whispered, “Reap the benefits while staying safe.”

The sense of desolation in Zhang Qiren instantly disappeared into the sky, replaced by a fierce glint in his eyes.

Zhong Yi calmly led his group away.

On the other side, Chu Ge handed Hai Dongqing over to Lin Wuyang, who couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. “Now I know, it was you who screwed with the Wallwalker back then.”

“It was done by my wife, so consider it as if I did it.” Chu Ge accepted it all and grinned. “So, should the commendation for your act of bravery be more generous? By the way, the reward for capturing the fugitive last time hasn’t arrived yet. What inefficiency!”

“I’ll remind them, but I’m sure I’ll be too busy to follow up for you. It’s up to your luck,” Lin Wuyang said as he looked at Hai Dongqing. “Surrendering? Meritorious service?”

Hai Dongqing looked at Chu Ge with hopeful eyes, and Chu Ge nodded. “Let’s consider it as such.”

Although he didn’t really play a significant role this time, did punching Iron Anvil count as a contribution?

Well, at least he managed to knock the box out and prevent it from being destroyed by Iron Anvil. At least he felt that he had made a contribution to punishing the wicked and doing good, giving him a sense of involvement rather than just waiting at home for news… At least he felt at ease.

Otherwise, what was the point of practicing the Golden Bell Shield?

He even unexpectedly gained one month of research access to that small metal box… Could it be that his parents pulled some strings for him behind the scenes? It was strange because in theory, this department was very strict and couldn’t make personal exceptions. Chu Ge had never enjoyed any special treatment in his life… Maybe it was because Moon Shadow, the person in charge, was an acquaintance, making things easier?

He wanted to ask Moon Shadow more, but she had disappeared without a trace. This girl had gone through some special training, and now she was even more cold and ruthless. The more tragic thing was that she didn’t even spare a glance at Zhang Qiren; you could sense her aversion to him just by being in the same airspace.

Qiren, my brother, I really can’t help you with this matter. I wish you the best of luck.

Chu Ge shook his head, feeling that he had nothing to do here. He wanted to go home and get some rest. It suddenly occurred to him that he had been busy all night, but what about tomorrow’s update?

So, writing a book and being a hero are absolutely conflicting!

Thinking about the recent hiatus and the upcoming one, Chu Ge’s expression changed. He quickly left Wang’s Villa halfway up the mountain and rushed to the main road at the foot of the mountain to flag down a car. At this moment, nothing was more important!

Just as he reached the edge of the mountain, he saw Qiu Wuji standing with her hands behind her back at the moonlit cliff, quietly watching him. She was still dressed in ancient clothing, her robes fluttering in the autumn breeze under the moonlight, as if she wanted to ride the wind and return.

Her autumn-water-like eyes gazed at him, seemingly filled with some resentment, yet also some joy.

“How… How did you come out?” Chu Ge flew towards her, both shocked and delighted, and instinctively wanted to embrace her.

He truly missed her.

Even though they had been apart for only two days.

At this moment, nothing was more imprtant than Qiu Qiu!

But when he was about to reach her, his hands opened up, yet he hesitated and withdrew them in embarrassment.

Qiu Wuji looked at his hands, pursed her lips, and took the initiative to hold his hand, walking down the mountain side by side.

In a soft voice, she said, “I couldn’t come out in time… I stayed inside for a whole day. Chu Ge, during this day, I truly understood the meaning of ‘time passing like years.’”

Chu Ge felt a stir in his heart and turned to look at her profile.

Qiu Wuji slightly lowered her head, looking at the moonlight on the road. “It was my mistake that allowed the water-based ability user to escape. I didn’t expect him to find you so quickly… I’m very uneasy.”

“What are you talking about?” Chu Ge spoke softly, “It’s your calligraphy formation that has protected me. Wherever you are, you always watch over me.”

Qiu Wuji felt a bit flushed as she listened. She thought to herself, why does this person talk so cheesy? However, this time, she didn’t curse at him.

Sometimes, even cheesy words can sound… pleasing to the ear.

But then she saw Chu Ge holding her hand and not continuing to walk. She turned her head in confusion to look at him.

Chu Ge gazed intensely into her eyes and whispered, “Qiuqiu, can you hug me? Just once.”

Qiu Wuji opened her mouth, feeling a bit empty-headed.

There was also a strange impulse flickering in her heart. Having spent the day anxiously, seeing him safe filled her with joy. At that moment, she had the impulse to hold him, out of fear of losing him. He was too hesitant to hug her earlier, and in that moment, she didn’t know if she wanted to hit him or not.

But if she agreed to let him hug her, would he misunderstand something…?

She wanted to refuse, but for a moment, she couldn’t find the words to say. Her mind was blank and couldn’t form coherent thoughts.

Her thoughts were in disarray, and before she could make sense of it all, she realized she was being held tightly. Chu Ge had taken the initiative and hugged her tightly, without letting go.

Qiu Wuji numbly rested her chin on his shoulder, gazing at the moon in the sky.

Didn’t he say just once, a quick hug would do?

It had already been three seconds, five seconds!

Deceptive liar.
