Hiding her form in the dark was what Gu Ning was best at. Even a cat might not have lighter steps than hers. She moved quickly through the darkness, illuminated by the streetlights within ten metres of the villa. Gu Ning moved quickly and shield herself behind a begonia tree.
The moment the flashes from the torchlight swung past the tree where she was hiding, Gu Ning instantly bowed and dashed toward the wall with her back pressed against it. In order not to make any noise, Gu Ning took off her shoes and kicked them into the grass. She glanced around to make sure no one was near her and then with a light step, vines broke out from the grass on the other side of the fence while spreading up along the fence rapidly and then over it.
Gu Ning tugged on one end and wrapped it around her hand a few times before she climbed up quickly. In a blink of an eye, she climbed up the fence, flipped herself over, and landed on the grass softly with one hand. Gu Ning instantly shifted like a black shadow and ran in a single direction without the slightest hesitation.
As she ran, the structural map of the villa appeared clearly in her mind.
Gu Ning dodged the patrolling guards and went around to the back of the villa where there was a large swimming pool. Above the pool was a huge open balcony that connected to the second floor. Gu Ning was now about to enter the villa through the balcony. However, two men were standing on the balcony chatting.
Fortunately, the greenery around the villa was very well maintained. Gu Ning hid behind an unknown bush and glanced down at her watch. Thirteen minutes had passed since Ji JiuZe had stated the twenty minutes buffer time. Thus, there were still seven minutes left for her to try and enter the villa.
She nestled behind a bush and waited patiently for the two men on the balcony to finish their conversation and walk away as soon as possible.
Yet the two men seemed to be having a great time chatting with each other, and as the time passed, her seven minutes buffer time had gone in the blink of an eye while the two men still had no intention of leaving. When the buffer time passed, Gu Ning became anxious, staring deadly at the two figures on the balcony. Another three minutes passed, and it was only when Gu Ning was about to leave to find another way then the two men left.
Gu Ning didn’t waste any more time and ran quickly to the bottom of the balcony. There was a coconut three about a metre away from the balcony, so she quickly climbed up the tree on her hands and knees. After climbing up, she listened to the surroundings to make sure no one was near the balcony before leaping down from the tree and carefully jumping onto the balcony.
By this time, four minutes had passed since Ji JiuZe had set the time limit for her. There was not much time left so she once again carefully recalled the map in her mind, double-checked the direction, and started darting across the cold marble floor with her bare feet.
Gu Ning ran against the wall, avoiding the patrolling and weaving through the corridors. Her pores were all open, feeling everything around her and her nerves tensed while her ears perked up so that she could capture any movement around her.
At the same time as she heard sounds coming from the left corridor, Gu Ning’s body, which had been charging forward lurched and then bounced backward like a spring before quickly retreating to the corridor she had come from. She was slightly relieved to find that the two sets of footsteps had gone the other way and was about to move on.
“Who is it?!” Suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder and simultaneously pressed down hard to wrench her shoulder backward! Gu Ning was shocked but her expression remained calm. Without waiting for the man to say anything else, her body suddenly darted downward and broke away from the man’s grip. Her reflex and speed had shocked everyone in the Five Stars Brigade except Ji JiuZe and this time, Gu Ning had exploded to her greatest advantage! With dizzying speed, she went around behind the tall man and used her hand as a knife to hit the spot where Ji JiuZe had told her it was the easiest place to cause a person to faint!
The man didn’t expect Gu Ning to be this fast! He had obviously grabbed her but he didn’t expect her to slip out of his grasp in the blink of an eye like a slippery loach. Then he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck as his vision went black and his body plunged to the ground!
Gu Ning reached out to catch the man a second before he fell to the floor, then unlocked the door to the room next to them, and dragged the man inside before stuffing him under the bed. Gu Ning darted out the door and continued to approach quickly in the direction of her target.
Carefully unlocking the door, she rushed in. The room was dark but this did not affect Gu Ning’s vision. She quickly glanced around the very spacious room and found the bookshelf that Ji JiuZe said was almost as big as a whole wall. The floor was covered with a wonderfully fluffy carpet and she made her way to the bookshelf which the top rightmost shelf was almost reaching the ceiling! Gu Ning soon saw a small ladder placed on the other side and she immediately move it over, climbed up, grab the seventh book from the right at the top.
As her hand had only just touched the bookshelf when all of a sudden! There was a click —— the closed door was being opened! Someone was coming!
With a “snap”, someone had switched on the lights and the room lit up!
Meanwhile, Gu Ning had rolled under the desk in front of the bookshelf, holding her breath as the book had passed through her hands into the space. She raised her hand to glance at her watch before cursing that thirteen minutes had passed. She was delayed by tucking the man under the bed and was irritated. Then she saw a pair of feet in shiny black leather shoes appear in front of her as the man actually walked over to the desk and sat down.
Gu Ning was even more afraid to move and her breathing became very faint.
This was not the post-apocalyptic world where she could enter the space rashly. If she was discovered when she came out of the space, then there would be endless consequences.
Where could Ji JiuZe be at this hour? Was he gone already?
“Bang!” a loud sound rang out!
Before Gu Ning could react, the table above her head was lifted off the ground!
Gu Ning instantly responded as soon as the light hit her blonde hair and she bounded up from the floor and was going to restrain the man! However, the moment she stood up, she was shocked when she saw that person’s face. With that arrogant short silver hair was none other than Bai Lang?! The shock was only momentary, Gu Ning’s hand had already swung toward Bai Lang!
Bai Lang seemed to be stunned for a moment at the sight of Gu Ning then quickly reacted by stomping his long legs on the floor and his whole body along with the office chair flew backward. At the same time, raised his legs to block away Gu Ning’s attacking hand again.
Gu Ning’s two attacks failed and she was a little panicking. It was mainly because she was worried that the commotion here would draw in all those guards patrolling outside. She had no desire to fight with Bai Lang and after throwing a false attack, she darted in the direction of the door!
“Want to leave?” Bai Lang caught up with Gu Ning in three to five steps and reached out for her shoulder! Gu Ning caught a glimpse of him and reached out to switch off the light in the room. The room was instantly plunged into darkness again, followed by a bend and shifted behind Bai Lang. Gu Ning wanted to use the same trick again by knocking Bai Lang unconscious, but who knew that she was fast yet Bai Lang was even faster! With a spin, he blocked Gu Ning’s hand slash with a single swing! Then he persistently reached out to grab hold of her! Gu Ning sidestepped and her elbow slammed into Bai Lang’s armpit!
Bai Lang was also slightly startled by her quick reflex and at the same time took half a step back! His eyes shone out vicious gaze and instead of trying to grab hold of Gu Ning, he started attacking her directly!
Gu Ning immediately felt the pressure increase as she struggled to block Bai Lang’s storm of attacks while secretly panicking. Although they had met each other several times in the post-apocalyptic world, they had never fought against each other so she didn’t know that his fighting skills were almost as good as Ji JiuZe!
She couldn’t beat Ji JiuZe so certainly not even Bai Lang. However, thanks to her daily diligent practice, she actually managed to block away dozens of his moves! Moreover, she also noticed that darkness had very little effect on him.
Finally, Bai Lang found her loophole and clipped her hands behind her while slamming Gu Ning’s entire body directly into the wall! Just when Gu Ning thought she was going to be slammed hard into the wall when Bai Lang suddenly withdrew some of his strength. She felt soreness from the slam but it was not too serious yet she was still pinned to the wall by Bai Lang in dead weight.
She raised her leg to kick! Only to be knocked back by his and her knee knocked painfully into the wall.
Bai Lang abruptly pressed his body over, one hand was still holding onto Gu Ning’s hands in a deadly grip while pinning her hard against the wall and another hand came around to cover her mouth.
Gu Ning suddenly had an extremely strange feeling and even more so, an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her current situation ——
The feeling had only surfaced when she heard Bai Lang say with some triumph and incredulity: “It was you!”
It was her? Where did that come from?
Gu Ning suddenly had a flash of thought run through her mind, remembering the dark alley where she had been inexplicably “hijacked” and used by someone as a cover. Could it be that the person that day was Bai Lang? Gu Ning was in a state of disbelief.
Out of nowhere! “Bang!” There was a loud crash! The door next to her, which was closed had been violently and viciously kicked open!
Gu Ning and Bai Lang were both startled and looked sideways at the same time to see Ji JiuZe dressed in a suit, walking in through the doorway, followed by five or six men who seemed to be overwhelmed by his aura and didn’t dare to come forward to stop him.
Hiding her form in the dark was what Gu Ning was best at. Even a cat might not have lighter steps than hers. She moved quickly through the darkness, illuminated by the streetlights within ten metres of the villa. Gu Ning moved quickly and shield herself behind a begonia tree.
