Chapter 2121 - 2122: Follow Me Quickly
Hidden in the shadows, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia’s hearts were in their throats, their entire bodies tense, appearing ready to take action at any moment.
Although this man had them hide, they barely knew him, let alone were familiar with him.
Who knows whether he’ll betray the two of them now?
If they were betrayed and they weren’t prepared at all, it would be like not knowing how they’d die!
Seeing the goat-bearded old man bow to him, the man looked satisfied: "After seeing me sitting here, they didn’t dare come, and took a detour instead. As for where they went, I don’t know!"
"You can take your time searching!"
"Can you tell me how many people there are?"
"Seems like one!"
"A man or a woman?"
"Should be a woman!" the man said softly, "Blonde curly hair, very tall, not from Huaxia, more like from Europe!"
"Why do even foreigners now know about a place like Broken Cliff Residence, couldn’t resist coming for a look?"
"A foreigner?"
"It was too far, I only glanced, can’t be sure!" the man said vaguely.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, the man didn’t betray them. Otherwise, they really wouldn’t know what to do.
The goat-bearded old man knew this man’s temperament well, knowing that his current principle is to mind his own business and stay out of others’ affairs!
The next moment, the goat-bearded old man signaled to Xing Kun with a look.
Immediately, Xing Kun went to search for Ye Xunhuan and Olivia.
However, the goat-bearded old man did not leave but remained there, quietly watching the man in front of him.
"Aren’t you curious about what they came in for, whether they’re trying to rescue you?"
"Rescue me?" The man chuckled softly, "I don’t even think that’s possible, why would you think it is?"
"I don’t think it’s possible either!" The goat-bearded old man confidently said, "Getting out of here is definitely harder than coming in!"
"So I’ve never planned to leave, and I believe the king will eventually let me have a look outside one day!"
"I also believe that day will come!" The goat-bearded old man said heavily, "But when you leave, everything will have changed."
The man ignored the old man’s words and began playing the piano again.
Seeing this, the goat-bearded old man said no more, directly leaving.
After the goat-bearded old man left, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia didn’t move, continuing to cautiously hide in the dark.
After all, they didn’t know if the old man would come back suddenly, plus the man had said nothing to them.
If it were really safe, surely the man would have said something?
So Ye Xunhuan decided it was better to be cautious.
"Stay hidden inside, don’t move." The man said flatly, "I’ll let you out when the time comes!"
Hearing the man’s words, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia simply lay under the flowers, like mummies, perfectly still!
The man continued playing the piano, although he played intermittently.
After playing for a while, he picked up the teacup beside him, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped it leisurely, his face perfectly calm without any trace of emotion!
Time ticked by, and finally, darkness descended, soon enveloping the surroundings.
However, a circle of lights around the flowers lit up immediately as night fell, illuminating the once dark surroundings!
After night fell, it wasn’t long before the goat-bearded old man returned.
"So, did you find them, solved it, and come to gloat?"
The goat-bearded old man exhaled heavily, "The opponent is very cunning, haven’t found them yet!"
The man inwardly snickered; they’re right beside me, how could you possibly find them?
Of course, he wouldn’t voice such thoughts, chuckling, "Looks like you’ve got your work cut out for you!"
"Good luck tonight!"
Saying this, the man clapped the ground with both hands, and the bench he was sitting on immediately started rotating.
The bench beneath the man, or rather, the chair, was entirely made like a wheelchair.
Except, the man’s bench was custom-made, if you didn’t look closely, you’d never know his legs were gone, and would think he was sitting cross-legged, with his loose clothes hiding his missing legs.
Watching the man’s departing figure, the goat-bearded old man wore a contemplative expression.
He’d been searching here all day but hadn’t found any trace of Ye Xunhuan and Olivia, as if they had vanished into thin air.
This made the goat-bearded old man wonder if the man had meddled somehow, yet as the man casually left, everything seemed normal.
Coming out on time, going back on time, very normal!
His heart was filled with endless doubts, was he overthinking, had the man done nothing, were they simply hidden among the flowers?
The next moment, the goat-bearded old man sighed slightly, shook his head, and left.
Once the goat-bearded old man left, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia exchanged glances.
"What now?" Olivia whispered in a voice barely audible, asking Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan glanced at Olivia, "Wait!"
He wasn’t familiar with anything here, besides waiting, he didn’t know what else to do.
Of course, they could leave, but who knows if they would be caught as soon as they stepped out; it’s safer to stay here.
Moreover, since the man had said not to come out without his word, surely the man would lead them out eventually.
As for how, Ye Xunhuan didn’t know, he just had to keep waiting.
Time flew by quickly, night deepened, and the voices of insects began resounding.
Ye Xunhuan and Olivia remained still as they lay silently.
At this moment, a faint voice reached Ye Xunhuan and Olivia’s ears: "Quick, follow me!"
