Chapter 380 - Do You Think You Can Catch Me?

Zi Yi looked at the german shepherds staring at her and shifted her gaze to Ansel, who had walked over in her direction.

Ansel looked at her as if looking at his prey that had finally fallen into his carefully arranged net, and he felt a strong sense of excitement deep down inside.

Zi Yi narrowed her eyes as she looked at Ansel and a cold smirk curled up on her lips. "Do you think you can catch me?"

"Aren't the facts placed right in front of us at this very moment?" Ansel spread out his hands. "I don't believe you can escape from the encirclement of my bodyguards and these dogs."

"Then let's see."

The moment she said that, a circular ball appeared in her hands.

Ansel sneered and all his bodyguards took out sunglasses and put them on.

"Is Miss Zi trying to use strong light to blind us again? Then I'm afraid you might have to be disappointed."

"Do you think I will do the same moves the second time?"

Zi Yi's wrists twisted and the circular ball in her hand rapidly shot out and transformed into a sharp rotating weapon.

Whoosh~

The next second, all the bodyguards and dogs felt that their chests were bare, and shortly after, pieces of clothes and fabrics along with traces of blood danced in the air.

Everyone was momentarily surprised at first, before they subconsciously covered their chest.

Ansel only managed to react after a second delay. He was extremely furious and stomped his foot in anger. "Capture her!"

The group of bodyguards and German shepherds were about to pounce towards Zi Yi. However, she then controlled the rotating weapon to block them in front of her. At the same time, while the weapon was blocking them from approaching her, she raised her cheongsam and continued to run towards the wall.

Muffled sounds coming from the bodyguards and the German shepherds could be heard from behind her from time to time.

Seeing that Zi Yi was about to reach the wall, the sound of a bullet piercing through the air came from behind.

At the same time, Zi Yi's powerful sixth sense detected the additional defense system activated near the wall.

Moreover, it was the most advanced defense system at the current time.

In actual fact, Zi Yi was not worried about the defense system. However, there were incoming bullets from behind and she did not have time to take out her phone and destroy the defense system.

The speed of the bullet was very fast and she only had time to throw out one circular ball.

The ball instantly transformed into a protective barrier.

Just then, sounds of hidden weapons flying past her could be heard from above.

"AHHH~"

Zi Yi saw those holding onto a gun getting shot by the hidden weapons and they held onto their hands in pain. She subconsciously looked behind them, only to see a blond-haired man carrying arrows and he had his back against the light. He was on the other side of the wall and only half of his body was exposed.

The blond-haired man did not stand close to the wall. It was most likely that he had something under his feet.

He was holding onto a crossbow in his hands and his lips pressed together tightening. He gave off a look like he was a death god.

Zi Yi looked at him and somehow felt that he was her Ah Jing.

The blond-haired man did not look at Zi Yi. The weapon in his hand was aimed at Ansel.

At first, Ansel's expression changed. Following that, he grabbed one of the bodyguards next to him to block his front, before he shouted to the other bodyguards, "Kill him!"

Several other bodyguards pointed their guns at the blond-haired man at the same time.

There was not the slightest change in his expression. The blond-haired man pulled the trigger and a sharp weapon was shot towards Ansel.

The sharp weapon then stabbed the bodyguard in front of Ansel.

Ansel was frightened out of his wits. He then dragged the bodyguard with him and immediately took out his phone to press an alarm.

At once, a loud alarm instantly sounded throughout the Count's villa.

At this moment, the blond-haired man's voice sounded from behind Zi Yi. "Run towards the back of the house."

Zi Yi turned to look at the blond-haired man only to see that he had disappeared from her line of sight.

Zi Yi thought about it for a moment and started to run to the back of the villa.

The back of the Count's villa was those types of duplex palace-styled buildings. After she ran in, she was met with a corridor that connected to many rooms.

A famous painting was hung on the wall in between every room. There was not a single soul around at this moment. However, Zi Yi was not wearing any shoes and her feet which stepped on the floor did not produce any sounds.

Loud voices could be heard from the backyard and there were many people searching in her direction.

Zi Yi ran past the corridor and turned at a corner, only to see a staircase ahead. Without even standing still for a second to think, she ran up the stairs.

The cheongsam was in the way and she simply lifted it up.

When she reached the second floor, she did not immediately run up to the roof. Instead, she ran into one of the rooms.

The room was very dark. Zi Yi sensed her surroundings for a moment and did not detect any danger. Only then, did she pull out her phone and swiftly start to do her work.

After she swiped for some time, the sound of footsteps that were chasing after her had soon left and the second floor returned to its original silence not long after.

Zi Yi then used her phone to shine around the room. She was surprised to see what the room was used for.

"There's a studio in Count Alistair's home? Who's the painter in their family?"

Zi Yi had checked up on Count Alistair's family when she returned to change her clothes. He had two sons and two daughters. Ansel was the Count's eldest son, and he would be taking over his company. His second son had opened a winery by himself and his business was doing pretty well. Among two of his daughters, none of them had studied painting either.

Zi Yi could not figure it out and decided to put it aside and was just about to open the door to leave.

However, just as she pushed open a crack, she heard the sounds of footsteps coming from the staircase.

There were two sets of footsteps.

Zi Yi shut the door and held her mobile phone to connect to the surveillance. She discovered that it was Ansel and Allen who had tied with Meng He for the second place in the second round.

The two of them were clearly headed for the room Zi Yi was in.

She was thinking if she should knock these two people unconscious.

When, just then, she detected movements from the window, and immediately after the window was opened and a figure jumped inside.

Zi Yi swiftly grabbed a circular ball in her hand.

Yet, a familiar voice sounded before she could throw it out. "Yiyi, it's me."

Zi Yi was delighted the moment she heard the voice and she quickly responded. "Ah Jing, I'm here."

Lu Jingye quickly headed towards her following the direction of her voice. He then hugged her waist and they swiftly spun around towards the side and hid in a narrow space.

Soon, the door was opened and the lights inside the room were lit up at the same time.

Allen's voice sounded. "Zi Yi ran away. Is our plan going to be exposed?"

Ansel's tone of voice sounded irritated. "What are you worried about? That woman definitely didn't escape from my house. With so many people looking for her right now, I don't believe we can't find her."

As if he did not wish to continue on this topic any further, Ansel said, "This studio is specially prepared by my father for those painters. Hurry and paint. As long as you can complete a painting that satisfies him, our plan will not have failed."

"Okay." Allen then asked, "What about Meng He?"

"Ha!" Ansel sneered. "He's merely a man who depends on a woman and he has yet to clearly see his position. Feiya no longer has the capability to protect him right now. I will keep him out of the last round of the competition."

Allen was satisfied with his response. "Good. I want to get first place in the last round of competition tomorrow."

"Rest assured, Dou Xiangling is in Meng He's hands and perhaps something might happen to her… As for Zi Yi, other than me, there are also others who are planning to scheme against her.. Even if Lu Jingye does manage to rush over, he won't be able to rescue her."
