The person who had climbed up the tree lifted the bird’s nest, and found out that a hole had been dug in the trunk.

Chu Luo frowned. “This tree has grown here for hundreds of years and has long had a tree soul. The people who dig holes on it will receive retribution sooner or later.”

Li Yan said to the person on the tree, “See what it is.”

That person brought the camera closer to what was inside and turned on his phone to illuminate it.

There were actually several exquisite explosives and a map that could only be found in the black market.

There was a red thread on the map.

Li Yan added, “Open the map.”

Chu Luo quickly stopped him. “Don’t open it.”

Li Yan quickly said, “Don’t open it yet.”

Chu Luo told him, “That red line can’t be touched. That’s a death line. If you touch it, those explosives will automatically explode.”

Li Yan nodded and asked the person on the tree to come down first. He continued to fiddle with the tablet.

Chu Luo sat beside him and drank hot water.

After a while, she remembered that she had yet to read a few people’s messages, so she took out her phone again.

The message was from Tang Zhiyun and the others, reminding her that the company would open the day after tomorrow.

Chu Luo replied that she would be there on time and prepared to put away her phone.

Just then, Anya sent her another message.

Anya: “Chu, it’s too boring here. I want to go back.”

Chu Luo: “Go back if you want.”

Anya didn’t reply. After about five minutes, she sent another message.

Anya: “Chu, guess who I saw?”

Anya: “I actually saw the Qin family in the parking lot.”

Chu Luo looked at the two messages and said to Li Yan, “Yan, the Qin family is there.”

Li Yan had obviously already received the news and only responded with an “Mm.”

Anya sent another message: “Chu, I won’t go back first. I feel that the Qin family is acting suspiciously. They must be up to something bad. I want to follow them and see what they’re up to.”

Chu Luo quickly typed: “Don’t go. Be careful that they’ll deal with you too.”

Chu Luo waited for a while, but seeing that Anya didn’t reply, she said to Li Yan, “Anya went to follow the Qin family.”

She complained in dissatisfaction, “Isn’t this person afraid that the Qin family will harm her if they discover her?”

Li Yan’s expression was cold. “People who don’t listen to advice can’t blame anyone should they be dealt with.”

Chu Luo thought about it and felt that Anya was a good person. She said, “You should send a few people to follow her. What if the Qin family discovers Anya and wants to target her?”

Li Yan responded with an “Mm” and used his communicator to get someone to follow Anya.

The two of them waited in the room for more than ten minutes before walking out.

…

Elsewhere.

Anya led her guards and followed the Qin family from afar.

It was a young master from the Qin family. Anya had seen him before, but she couldn’t remember his name.

The young master of the Qin family also brought some people over. Not long after, his people quickly left.

The young master from the Qin family continued walking forward.

Anya was still confident that the Qin family hadn’t discovered her. However, after following them for a few minutes, the guard realized that something was wrong and reminded Anya, “Princess, that person seems to be going to an increasingly remote place as we walk.”

Anya felt that since the Qin family didn’t have good intentions towards Chu Luo, they would definitely make preparations in advance. If the place where they do evil deeds isn’t a little remote, they will be discovered.

“But…”

“Shh, don’t speak. Otherwise, the people in front will discover you.”

The two of them followed the person in front for a while more. The guard became even more uneasy. “Princess, the atmosphere nearby seems a little strange.”

“What’s so strange about that? Isn’t this the atmosphere at night?”

The person in front stopped just as Anya finished speaking.

That person suddenly turned around and strode back.

Anya was stunned and stood there, forgetting to react.

The guard quickly pulled her into the forest.

However, the peach tree’s trunk wasn’t big to begin with, and it was bare at this time. How could it conceal anyone?

The person walked to the stone path closest to Anya and stopped. He said in a cold voice, “Do you want to come out yourself, or do you want me to invite you? Your choice.”

Anya grabbed the tree trunk tightly and her heart almost jumped to her throat. She tried her best to calm down and thought about how she was the princess of America and was protected by the secret guards. As long as this person from the Qin family dared to mess around, the secret guards would definitely not let him off.

Feeling more confident, she walked out.

“I’m not following you. How do you want to invite me?”

“Ha, do you think I’m a three-year-old child? You didn’t follow me when you’ve been walking behind me all the way?”

After that person finished speaking, his voice became stern. “Tell me, who sent you!”

“How dare you speak to our princess like that!”

“Princess? Pfft… How can a princess do such a thing? You’re still too inexperienced to fool me.”

Anya was a little surprised to hear this. Although there was no moonlight tonight, she could still see the outline of a person clearly. As a member of the top families in the empire, it was impossible for the Qin family not to know her.

At the thought of this, she was displeased. “How dare you speak to me like this. Do you believe that I’ll get your country’s guards to arrest you?”

“Pfft… Before you want to catch me, let’s see if you can leave my place.”

After saying that, that person took out the gun.

Anya’s eyes widened when she saw the gun.

The guard quickly shielded her behind him.

“Princess, quickly leave this place. This person is crazy. He actually dares to point a gun at you.”

Anya came back to her senses and said angrily, “Who are you from the Qin family? How can you not know me!”

The man opposite her was extremely arrogant. “Listen up, my name is Fifth Young Master Qin, Qin Zhao. Since you dare to follow me, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

After saying that, he really started firing a shot.

Bang!

“Ah…”

Anya screamed as her guard pushed her into the peach forest beside her. She lost her balance and fell.

After realizing the bullet didn’t enter her flesh, Anya suddenly came back to her senses and only saw her guard fall.

“Mina!”

Anya exclaimed in surprise and wanted to get up.

At this moment, Qin Zhao had already arrived in front of her.

Anya propped her hands on the ground and looked at the man approaching her in horror.

At this moment, Qin Zhao turned on his phone’s light and shone it on Anya’s face. As Anya was stimulated by the light and wanted to cover her eyes, he grabbed her chin and sized her up carefully.

“Tsk tsk…” Qin Zhao’s tone sounded lewd. “What a good-looking foreign girl. Did you just say that you’re a princess? Coincidentally, I’m a prince. Are we destined to meet in this peach garden? ”

Anya had never been treated like this before. She struggled with all her might and shouted, “Help!”

In the next second, Qin Zhao pressed the gun against her temple.

Anya trembled and turned pale.

Qin Zhao said sinisterly, “If you dare to scream, I’ll kill you immediately.”

“You… you’re impudent!” Anya was really frightened, but her mind had cleared up. She decided to save herself.

“Hahahaha… I can be even more impudent than that.”

As Qin Zhao spoke, he caressed her smooth face ambiguously with the hand that was holding her chin.

Anya was disgusted. She clenched her fists on the ground to calm down.

“What do you want to do to me?”

“F*ck you.”

As Qin Zhao spoke, his hand really went down.

Anya had never been insulted like this before. She quickly fell to the ground, took out her gun, and fired two shots at Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao didn’t expect Anya to have a gun. When the first bullet came, he didn’t have time to dodge it and it brushed past his shoulder.

“F*ck!” When Qin Zhao dodged the second shot, he cursed and fired at Anya.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Ahhh…”

Anya screamed instinctively, but her hand quickly pulled the trigger.

After she was done shooting, she celebrated the fact that she hadn’t been shot into a sieve by the other party. Her heart skipped a beat again.

Qin Zhao was obviously not shot either.

Qin Zhaoyi walked over again when Anya ran out of bullets.

“Why aren’t you shooting?” He laughed sinisterly. “Since you’re not shooting anymore, it’s time for you to serve me.”

After saying that, he put his hand on his belt buckle and walked towards her.

“Don’t come over! Don’t come over!” Anya’s face was pale and her body was trembling. She subconsciously propped herself up on the ground and retreated. In the end, she closed her eyes and screamed, “Ah…”

Bang!

“Ooh…”

The terrifying thing that she had imagined didn’t happen, but a cold and ruthless voice came from above her head.

“Chase after her. Kill her if you catch her.”

“Yes!”

Then, a few pairs of footsteps could be heard.

Anya knew who had come when she heard the voice. She opened her eyes and looked at Qin Ming standing in front of her.

Qin Ming held a flashlight in his hand. The flashlight shone to the side, but she could see her surroundings and his expression.

He continued to look at her with his expressionless face and asked in a low voice, “Who asked you to follow him here?”

“I…” Anya knew that she was in the wrong and felt aggrieved. She started crying.

Qin Ming pursed his lips and looked at her, displeased. At this moment, a subordinate came over and reported to him, “Boss, that person is a fake member of the Qin family. He has been killed by us.”

“He must have accomplices. Search!”

“Yes.”

As soon as his subordinate left, Qin Ming looked at the trembling Anya. It was obvious that that person had deliberately lured her over. He couldn’t help but berate her softly. “Stupid woman!”

After saying that, he walked to her side, bent down, picked her up horizontally, and left.
