Chapter 75: Escape

ell, I understand. So Uncle Liao usually stays at the military base all the time""Yes, when I'm not busy, I'm always at the barracks. I spent my whole life there; living in a city now feels strange."W...The head of the Zhou family did not answer again. He had already run out of the study, quickly glancing in a certain direction.

That person understood the implication and pulled out their phone to contact Zhou Qi. After a few words, they quickly hung up and then made several more calls in quick succession.

Zhou Qi did not dare to neglect, quickly called Wang Lin, after the call was connected, he eagerly said without waiting for Wang Lin to speak.

"Wang Lin! Run away! The Night Demon is going to take you! Right now, the chief is trying his best to stall for time, but it won't last long. Don't worry about anything else, leave as fast as you can!"

Wang Lin heard Zhou Qi's urgent voice, his heart skipped a beat, he instantly jumped out of bed, pushed open the door and leaped onto the wall, dashing straight towards outside the manor.

At this time, the Zhou family patriarch was slowly walking towards Wang Lin's guest room. The Night Demon walked beside him. They said they were looking for someone, but their manner seemed more like a leisurely stroll in the mountains and waters.

Even though Ye Mo was very anxious, seeing the Zhou family patriarch's old and frail appearance, he forcibly restrained himself from urging him. As long as no one leaked the news, Wang Lin wouldn't be able to leave suddenly, finding him was just a matter of time.

At this moment, Wang Lin had already escaped to the edge of the manor. He just needed to climb one more wall to get out, but he abruptly stopped his steps.

"Proceed with caution, Night Demon is a high-level member of Dawnbreak. He definitely has many subordinates and might have arranged for people to monitor outside the manor. What should we do"

Now he was truly panicked. If he were caught by the Night Demon, he'd surely be in deep trouble. The Night Demon's men had already been ruthlessly killed or injured by him, completely making enemies of them.

He paced back and forth within the courtyard walls. If he were discovered by his men, it would implicate the Zhou family, which was not the outcome he desired.

"That's right! Zhuilongya!"

Wang Lin's eyes lit up. This manor was nestled against the mountain, and that path was very secluded. The Night Demons definitely wouldn't find it!

He quickly changed direction, speeding towards the path, carefully avoiding the area near his guest room.

Since it was full speed, Wang Lin arrived at the path very quickly. The area around the path was pitch black. He carefully stretched his head out to look left and right, but he didn't see anyone.

But just to be safe, he still crouched down, his whole body lying flat on the ground, using the cover of grass and darkness, he slowly crawled in the direction of Zhuilong Cliff.

He didn't get up again until he had climbed four or five hundred meters. Then, bending over at the waist, he quickly left.

At this time, the head of the Zhou family had also arrived at Wang Lin's guest room with the Night Demon. The Night Demon kicked open the door with one foot and rushed in quickly, but after searching several times, he couldn't find anyone.

"You're playing me!"

The Night Demon's cold eyes stared fixedly at the head of the Zhou family, while the head of the Zhou family was also staring blankly around the room. He then called over the person in charge and looked at them with the same cold gaze.

"Where is everyone"

The headman trembled and bowed his waist, looking somewhat fearful. "Reporting to the chieftain, these people left an hour ago."

"Are you sure it was an hour ago"

"Yes, he even greeted me back then, so it left a deep impression."

"Daredevil, you heard it! This man left an hour ago, before you got here!"

"Very good! You're all doing well, the Zhou family is doing well! Just wait for my revenge!" The Night Demon laughed maniacally, still threatening relentlessly.

"Daredevil, what do you mean by that! We are fully cooperating with you. Only I know the reason for your visit here, and I've been with you all along!"

"Damn it! Don't give me that!"

At this time, the expression of Zhou's patriarch also turned cold, and he put away his respectful attitude towards the Night Demon.

"Daredevil! If you think my Zhou family is hiding him, feel free to search. I respect your intentions, but don't mistake my reluctance for fear!"

"Hehehe, getting brave now Don't worry! You guys are just waiting to be wiped out!"

"Well now, who's got such a big mouth, not afraid the wind will blow your tongue away!"

A sarcastic voice came, causing the Night Demon's eyebrows to furrow. He followed the sound and looked around in astonishment, thinking, "How could this person be at the Zhou family"

There appeared an old man with white hair and youthful face, walking slowly with his hands behind his back. His long blue robe fluttered in the wind, giving him an air of nobility and otherworldly charm.

"I didn't know Elder Wang was here, please forgive my ignorance. I'll leave now!"

Nightcrawler bowed to the old king and was about to leave.

"Did you let him leave"

Wang Lao's single, nonchalant sentence sent a shiver down Ye Mo's spine, yet he still mustered his courage to ask.

"I wonder what instructions you have for me, Elder Wang. I will do my utmost to complete them."

"Wasn't that impressive just now Insulting the Zhou family, and then acting like nothing happened Get out! I'm bored lately anyway."

"The junior knows his mistake and hopes that the elder Wang will show mercy, and Chief Zhou will also show leniency."

"Are you taking the piss"

Wang Lao squinted at Night Demon, a playful smile twitching his lips.

"No, no, I would follow whatever arrangements Elder Wang makes."

Daredevil's forehead beaded with cold sweat. He cursed under his breath, feeling utterly unlucky to have encountered such a freak in this situation.

"Let's move to a different place to talk!"

Ye Mo and Zhou's patriarch followed Wang Lao respectfully. Ye Mo was subdued along the way, unlike his previous arrogant demeanor.

As he reached the outside of his study, Master Wang turned and kicked the Night Devil, followed by a barrage of punches that rained down on him like a storm.

To avoid angering Elder Wang, he didn't even dare to dodge. He just used his own body to directly take Elder Wang's punch.

But soon, a bruised and battered man climbed to his feet from the ground, shouting incessantly.

"Have you tried searching for 'lu qin'"

Old Wang looked at the miserable state of Night Demon, a wave of satisfaction washing over him. He hadn't gotten his hands dirty in ages, it seemed beating people up was truly the way to bring himself joy.

"Go on. Why are you here"

Because someone named Wang Lin repeatedly injured my subordinates, and this time even hurt my brother.

"I see. It's not a big deal then. It must have been your people who provoked them first. Let's just forget about this grudge, shall we"

"Uncle Wang, I only have this one brother in my life. I usually don't even want to beat him up. This time he was beaten so badly, if I don't help him get justice, I would be a terrible older brother."

"I know about this. I was there at the time, but your brother got beaten up, Wang Lin is really to blame."

"But my brother said that the most hated person was Wang Lin. He even yelled in the hospital demanding that Wang Lin pay for it."

"Well... this... that kid was really annoying at the time, but he didn't mean anything bad to your brother. If it wasn't for him, your brother would have been beaten even worse. You can ask your brother directly what he thinks."

“Okay! I’ll ask when I get back.”

"Well, it's better to make peace than to hold a grudge. I hope you won't make things difficult for others in the future... Forget it, that's not your character anyway. In any case, let's just drop this."

As for your insults towards the Zhou family, well… consider it a debt to them! Do you have an opinion on this

"No problem, no problem. If Zhou's family needs anything from me in the future, just give me a shout."

Okay, the matter is perfectly resolved, so I won't stay any longer. I'm getting old and easily tired.

Has that young punk retreated

"Um"

After Ye Mo turned and left, the Zhou family head respectfully bowed to Wang Lao.

"Thanks to Elder Wang for helping the Zhou family out of a predicament."

"It's nothing, haha. It's good to come out and walk around sometimes, I'll go first. You're busy!"

"Wang Lao, let me see you off"

"No, I'm fine on my own. I like being independent. I have things to do, you go ahead and do yours."

Without giving Zhou's family head a chance to speak, he stood up and left. The speed was so fast, in the blink of an eye, he had vanished without a trace.

After Wang Lao walked out of the study, he looked towards the direction of the back mountain and muttered to himself.

"Hey kid, don't go too far."earing Wang Lin's words, Xiaoyue buried her face in her chest, and said softly like a mosquito, "Well, it's a secret that belongs to only the two of us."Wang Lin didn't hear this sentence, instead he...
