Translator: Lonelytree

Mo Li was about to go out to ask the old man for some fever medicine when she heard the old man exclaiming from next door. Quan Yu heard it as well and struggled to sit up. However, his body rebelled again him. Whenever he moved, the world moved.

They heard footsteps of people moving towards them. There was a group of people shouting at the old man. “Old man, did you come across a non-local tonight? The man is very weak and drove a very luxurious car!”

“I run a vegetable stall at the market, I see non-locals daily. How am I supposed to know who are you talking about?”

“Damn it, old man, do you know who you’re talking to? If you think you’ve lived for far too long, I can end your life now. So stop spouting nonsense. Our Brother Zhang wants to capture that dangerous man. If you don’t come clean with us, then don’t blame us! Our brothers have looked?through the other houses and yours is the last! Get out from my way!”

“But there is really no one here! I am not lying to you.. Hey, what are you people doing. That’s my son’s house! You can’t barge in like that!” The old man shouted. Mo Li’s heart rose to her throat. Quan Yu appeared to have fainted so he was no help.

Mo Li scanned around the room swiftly and she saw the big cardboard boxes folded at the corner. She opened one of them. With a grit of her teeth, she picked up Quan Yu and dropped him into one of the boxes. She threw in the wet comforter and Quan Yu’s wet clothes as well. Then she jumped into the rattan wardrobe in the room.

As the door closed, the front door was kicked down. “Jesus, that was a new lock!”

It was dark inside the box. Quan Yu felt the air thinning and his mind fraying. He could barely breathe but he knew the severity of situation. He tried his best to keep his voice low.

Through the gaps in the rattan, Mo Li saw the people from the motorcade charge into the room.

“I told you there is no one here! This is my son’s marital room. You’ve now ruined all of the Feng Shui!” The old man stood at the door with his flashlight. He sighed helplessly.

The people inside the room looked around seriously. The place was empty and the bed was clean. They checked earlier and this house didn’t have a back door.

Quan Yu, that fox... If he’s not here, where can he be??The leading man walked into the room and stopped not far from Mo Li. Mo Li’s heart raced. She started to observe the man’s physical weakpoints. If she was spotted, she would have to fight. There was no other way. She would distract them and lead them away from this place.

“Hmph, old man, you said this is your son’s marital room but the bed doesn’t even have a comforter? What’s up with that?”

The old man frowned and then broke in a smile. “Brother, that shows you don’t know anything about house chores. During this kind of weather, all the comforters have to be kept away or else they’ll mold if left in the open.”

The man didn’t notice the cardboard box but instead turned to the cupboard where Mo Li was hiding. He narrowed his eyes. “You mean the bedding are kept in this cupboard?”

Mo Li readied herself as the man reached for the cupboard door.

At that crucial moment, a man barged in from outside. “Brother Liu! Brother Zhang want you to return immediately. They have found Quan Yu’s car. Based on his understanding of Quan Yu, we have must been misled. It’s be like him to leave his car behind and then rush down the mountain while we stay here to search!”
