Chapter 181

She chuckled self-deprecatingly, “I was foolish too. In the apocalypse, where is there any law to speak of?
In your hearts, shouldn’t I be grateful to Zheng Qian for giving me such a privileged life? Letting me not worry about food and clothing?
I’m hardly his wife; I’m clearly the laughingstock of the entire underground city.
Everyone knows Zheng Qian has a new love, everyone knows I’m the discarded, haggard wife left at home.
They all treat me with utmost respect to my face, but who knows how they laugh at me behind my back.”
The bodyguard stood like a wooden statue in place, silent.
Sun Qingye turned to look at the No. 1 red tent behind her, stopped arguing, and left on her high heels.
Lin Qianhuan also didn’t plan to stay here any longer, and began to explore other areas of ‘Paradise’ wearing her invisibility cloak.
Due to the limited total area of the underground tunnels, the overall size of ‘Paradise’ wasn’t too large.
The living area, trading area, and office area were closely connected.
But Lin Qianhuan, after going around in a big circle, couldn’t find the shadow of the storage warehouse.
Puzzled, she was just about to search again when she suddenly saw a very familiar figure.
A-Kuan?
Her pupils shrank, her heartbeat skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why would this guy be here?
Shouldn’t he be taking care of the children in the guesthouse outside the botanical garden?
She hurriedly hid in a corner and called Jiang Xing on the communicator.
It was answered in just a few seconds. Without any time for pleasantries, she immediately asked, “Quickly check if A-Kuan is still in the room?”
Jiang Xing busily got up to check: “He’s here, sleeping.
What’s wrong?”
Lin Qianhuan felt like she had overlooked something, but after thinking hard for a long time, she had no clue.
Seeing that she didn’t answer, Jiang Xing was just about to ask what exactly had happened.
When his gaze fell on the sleeping A-Kuan on the bed through the glass, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He pushed the door open and went inside. Jiang Xing reached out to push A-Kuan’s shoulder.
But the moment his fingers touched A-Kuan’s tattered coat, the person who was still sleeping suddenly dissipated without a trace.
“Huanhuan, he’s gone! The bed has an illusion specifically used to confuse people!”
No wonder this guy’s chest wasn’t rising or falling while he was sleeping; it turned out this body was fake and would disappear with a light touch.
Lin Qianhuan hid in the shadows of the corner, her expression obscure.
No wonder A-Kuan and the team he led would risk angering Zheng Qian to accept Ji Rong and the children she rescued.
It turned out this guy was Zheng Qian’s mole planted outside of ‘Paradise’!
But since A-Kuan was here, killing Ji Rong should have been as easy as pie.
But why hadn’t Zheng Qian ordered him to do it?
Lin Qianhuan thought about it, and there was only one reason.
That was that Ji Rong was hiding a secret that even she herself didn’t know.
Steadying her mind, Lin Qianhuan whispered, “A-Kuan knows our plan, the guesthouse is not a safe place to stay.
I left a car outside the guesthouse, take the children and leave there quickly, find a new place to live, the key is on the bedside table in my bedroom.”
Jiang Xing hurriedly ran to her bedroom, but the bedside table was empty, with nothing on it.
“The key was taken by him, and the car is gone too.”
He paused, then comforted, “Don’t worry, I will protect those children.
You be careful in ‘Paradise’, Zheng Qian probably already knows your and Ji Rong’s whereabouts. It’s not a safe place to stay for long, find a chance to escape.”
Lin Qianhuan sighed, “Don’t worry, I know.”
After speaking, she hung up the call with Jiang Xing and dialed the group chat.
When everyone had connected, Lin Qianhuan began to issue new tasks.
“Lu Lu, send Big Brother and Second Brother back to the guesthouse, don’t keep following those people, I’m afraid there’s a trap.
Ji Rong and I will wait for you at the entrance of ‘Paradise’. After sending Big Brother and Second Brother back, you come and find us.
Be careful, the guesthouse is likely to face a siege!”
Lin Yixuan: “No problem, you be careful, hide in the space if there’s danger.
We’ll go back immediately and wait for you at the guesthouse!”
After the call ended, Lin Qianhuan didn’t chase after A-Kuan, but turned back to the red tent to find Ji Rong.
But when she lifted the curtain of Tent No. 24, she didn’t see her at all.
The ground was full of messy footprints, the bathtub was overturned, and the chairs in the corner were not spared.
Lin Qianhuan was thinking about where she had been kidnapped when she heard Yan Longyue’s voice coming from Tent No. 23.
She moved closer and stood outside the tent.
“Mr. Zheng, I just bought these two, how can you just grab them?
With two fewer people, how am I supposed to do business tonight?”
Yan Longyue leaned close to Zheng Qian, her voice soft and charming, with a hint of coquettishness.
“Zheng Kuan told me that two women disguised themselves and tried to sneak into ‘Paradise’.
Coincidentally, you have two new people here, so of course I have to investigate.
Didn’t you see? The woman in Tent No. 24’s face changed as soon as it touched water, she’s clearly Ji Rong.
In that case, the one living in this tent is her accomplice.
I wonder where she ran off to.”
Zheng Qian sat casually on the bed, his suit a little wrinkled.
“But it doesn’t matter, at least I know she’s a woman.
‘Paradise’ isn’t that big anyway, I don’t believe she can escape.”
He spoke through gritted teeth: “She dared to bully my son, I’ll make her pay the price!”
Yan Longyue stood silently to the side, but subconsciously pinched her skirt.
