C218 She Had Been Targeted

Mu Tingye only let go of the woman in his arms when her breathing became stable. He covered her with a blanket and stood by the edge to look at her before turning around and leaving the lounge.

Ji Nian had a good sleep. When she woke up, the lounge was covered by a dark light. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. It was just an afternoon nap. Why did she sleep for so long? When she opened her eyes, it was already dark.

Why didn't Mu Tingye call her? She was still working?

She walked out of the lounge. There was no light in the office outside. The lights outside the window lit up the huge office. Various documents were stacked on the desk, but Mu Tingye was nowhere to be seen.

Where did he go?

She opened the office door and walked out. It was quiet outside. The employees were all off work? Mu Tingye would not do something that would make her forget about her in the lounge. He should have something urgent to deal with, but where was he now?

Ji Nian was a little panicked. She took out her phone and wanted to call him. One of the rooms in front of her opened the door and someone walked out.

She looked over and saw that it was Qin Luoluo. She had not left yet? Qin Luoluo was holding a notebook and a leather file bag in her hands. Inside was her design drafts. She had been busy the whole afternoon and had finally revised the drafts to a satisfactory level.

Qin Luoluo walked over to Ji Nian in her high heels, "Why are you still here?"

"I was resting in the lounge. I didn't expect that it would be dark when I woke up. I didn't see Ye and wanted to call him." Ji Nian briefly explained her situation.

Qin Luoluo's eyes flashed. She suddenly smiled and said, "You don't need to call him. I know where he is. In the afternoon, he went to see a big client and something happened. When he saw that you were sleeping and didn't want to disturb you, he let you continue sleeping. He came back to pick you up when he saw a client. Looking at the situation now, he should still be talking to the client. I'll drive you to his place. "

"Will I disturb him?" Wang Yao asked. After Ji Nian knew what had happened, she did not want to continue looking for Mu Tingye.

"How could that be? Even if it is like this, he does not need to come back to pick you up." Qin Luoluo insisted on sending Ji Nian over.

She handed the things in her hands to Ji Nian. "Help me take it. I need to go to the bathroom."

Ji Nian took the handheld and file bag from her hands and five minutes later Qin Luoluo came out of the washroom.

"Let's go. I will send you there." Qin Luoluo took back her things and was very enthusiastic towards Ji Nian.

The two of them took the elevator all the way to the basement garage. Qin Luoluo's car was parked near the exit.

The garage was very big and the two of them slowly walked over. The sound of Qin Luoluo's high heels stepping on the floor tiles echoed in the garage and it made people's heart tremble.

The two of them did not speak, so they heard the footsteps of a third person or even four or six people. Those sounds followed closely behind them and even quickened their pace towards them.

Ji Nian and Qin Luoluo looked at each other and felt that the atmosphere was not right. Qin Luoluo frowned and said in a low voice, "We have been targeted."

Ji Nian was shocked and wanted to look back but Qin Luoluo suddenly grabbed her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Don't look back. We need to get out of here quickly."

There was an exit in front and there were people guarding the garage. Maybe it was because of this reason that the people behind did not chase up and attack them.

Ji Nian did not know who was behind them. Perhaps they were too sensitive and they were not chasing after them at all.

Qin Luoluo had been holding her shoulders and did not let her look back. The two of them quickly walked out of the parking lot. There was an empty path behind the company. She was not familiar with this place and this kind of place seemed to be more dangerous.

"Luoluo, do you know how to walk here?" She asked in a low voice. After all, this empty and pitch-black path that seemed to have no end was too frightening.

Qin Luoluo shook her head, "I don't know."

Such an answer undoubtedly made Ji Nian flustered. They were not familiar with this place. If the people behind really wanted to harm them, wouldn't they be doomed?

The sound of footsteps chasing behind them was especially shocking in the quiet and desolate path.

At this time Qin Luoluo pulled Ji Nian's hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's hurry and run."

Ji Nian did not even have time to react before she dragged her hand and ran forward. The sound of their hasty escape shattered the silence of the night. Following closely, they heard a shout from behind, "Stop! Don't run!"

Ji Nian's scalp went numb. They were really being targeted!1

Who was it? Why did they chase after them? She didn't know. She thought that she shouldn't have offended anyone. What were these people trying to do?

The two of them ran for an unknown amount of time, but the footsteps chasing them were still there. There was a fork in the road beside them. Qin Luoluo pulled her and ran into the fork in the road.

Ji Nian felt her chest tighten. She could not run too far and saw the garbage bin by the side. In such a chaotic situation, she did not have time to think and pulled Qin Luoluo back.

The two of them squatted beside the garbage bin and there was an abandoned bamboo basket by the side. The bamboo basket was woven very tightly and would not be discovered if it covered people. It was a wide bamboo basket that could cover the two of them.

But Ji Nian knew that it was very easy for them to be discovered if they hid here like this and must think of a way to get out of this embarrassing situation. Those people who chased after them were not idiots and they would not be able to not be suspicious when they saw the large garbage bin.

Qin Luoluo could not bear to hide beside the garbage bin and use a dirty bamboo basket to cover her body.

"Nian, we can't hide here." Qin Luoluo said in a low voice.

"I know, but we can't keep running." Besides, she could not run very far. They would definitely catch up to them in the end. She was very puzzled. "Who are they? Why are they chasing us?"

There was no light here. Only the crescent moon above their heads gave off a cold moonlight. Qin Luoluo slightly frowned and her expression was serious, "Not chasing us, but chasing me. It should be my arch-enemy who sent people to snatch the design drafts from my hands."

Qin Luoluo was still holding the design drafts in her laptop and leather bag. Ji Nian looked at the things in her hands. Those were the drafts Qin Luoluo told Mu Tingye about at lunch? Those were very important things.

At this time, the people chasing them walked into this fork in the road. Someone said gruffly, "Damn it, where are they?"

"He's probably around here. Everyone, look for him!" another person added.

The footsteps gradually approached the two of them. At this time, if they really ran, it was not like they were waiting to be caught.

Just as they were in a dilemma, Ji Nian bit her lips and her eyes revealed a determined glimmer. She softly said to Qin Luoluo, "I will lead them away now. Wait for me to lead them away. You take the design drafts and leave quickly."

Qin Luoluo's eyes focused and could not hide her shock, "This... No, you will be caught by them. This matter has nothing to do with you and you cannot take the risk."

"Even if you can't do it, you still have to do it. This design drafts are so important, you absolutely cannot let them snatch it away. If you don't have time, just do as I say. If I am caught, remember to inform Ye to come and save me."

Ji Nian patted Qin Luoluo's hand and motioned for her to not speak, because those people had already kicked a rubbish bin.
