Chapter 822: Escape

Yeh Hannian seemed struck by lightning, his brow and eyes stern, “Li Jian, have you sunk to such depravity?

Even resorting to such despicable methods?”

“Wei Zhao!” Li Jian’s hand holding the cigar was trembling, “Release the child!”

Wei Zhao refused, it was his first time disobeying orders, “I’m sorry, I have to do this.

You’ve been given a death order from above; if you don’t capture Yeh Hannian this time, upon return…

you’ll be half-dead.”

“That’s my concern!”

Li Jian reached out, “Give me the child.”

Wei Zhao gritted his teeth hard, resolved not to comply, but the instinctive obedience to Li Jian caused him to hesitate.

Before he could decide, there was a sudden whooshing behind him; turning hastily, he only caught the shadow of a whip.

The next second, the child in his hand was snatched away by the whip.

Tuantuan fell into Nan Jiaojiao’s hands.

The little one hugged Nan Jiaojiao’s neck tightly, their eyes met, Tuantuan was first suspicious, suddenly his pupils shook violently, as if a sparkle appeared in his eyes at that moment, his small mouth slightly opened, wanting to say something but swallowed it back.

His face turned to the side, his little body couldn’t handle it, barely any distance apart, his head leaned back into Nan Jiaojiao’s bosom.

Nan Jiaojiao pulled out the cloth from his mouth, speaking in a voice only audible to the two of them, “You recognized me, so why pretend not to?”

Tuantuan shook his head, clinging tighter to her neck.

Nan Jiaojiao was touched inside.

How had Yeh Hannian taught him, to understand not to implicate others at such a young age?

“Put me down, otherwise it’ll be a lot of trouble for you.”

Nan Jiaojiao sneered, “No way.”

Tuantuan looked up, staring at her forcefully.

Nan Jiaojiao pressed his head into her bosom, “Hold tight, falling off will hurt.”

White Fox was right next to her; since she saved the little girl, he had already grasped the gun at his back, the people he brought also stood up silently, ready for combat at any moment.

Therefore, when he heard Nan Jiaojiao’s words, he closed his eyes, resigned to fate with a sigh.

She moved, White Fox called out “Cover”, quickly drew his gun and aimed at Wei Zhao.

“Killing Alliance, what do you mean by this?” Wei Zhao shouted angrily.

White Fox gestured, without saying a precise word, yet six or seven people surrounded Wei Zhao.

“Sorry, you guys fight, we agreed to be neutral, not taking sides, but my people are now in your firing range, can’t help but protect.”

While speaking, White Fox glanced at Li Jian, whose expression was unclear, with a sneer, “Using a kid as leverage, how low can you stoop.”

Wei Zhao’s face turned bright red, he gritted his teeth, turned back under countless gunpoints, where there was any trace of Yeh Hannian, the woman in the black cat mask and the child were gone.

He exclaimed urgently, “Colonel, I’ll take the punishment myself upon return, can’t let Yeh Hannian escape.”

Li Jian didn’t want to speak to him anymore, leaving half a team for him, the rest followed and chased out.

The forest was barely developed, paths were difficult to discern, surrounded by wild grass, brambles were dense, no matter how good the physical condition, couldn’t hold out much longer.

Especially since Nan Jiaojiao was holding a child.

“Jiaojiao, give Tuantuan to me.”

Nan Jiaojiao handed the child directly to him, whipped her whip out, wrapped it around a tree branch, the drooping branch was tugged and yanked by her, its elasticity launched her forward.

Yeh Hannian followed closely behind.

“Where’s your support?”

Yeh Hannian raised his chin forward, “Ahead, in the desert, I had them disguise as Bandits, as long as we get through this forest and link up, we’ll be safe.”
