Sometimes, An Ru really wanted to rush out and ask those people what they wanted to do by capturing her here, why they didn't pay any attention to her after throwing her here. Even if she was a criminal, wouldn't she have to undergo some sort of interrogation? But there was nothing. It was as if she had been forgotten here.
She had once looked for those guards to strongly request to see the person who kidnapped her here, the one called Cang Kui. She wanted to ask him in person, just how long was she going to be locked here?
However, those people completely ignored her. Their duty was to guard the villa, to guard her, including other people in the villa.
That's right, besides An Ru, there were other people locked up here. However, those people were not as lucky as An Ru. All of them were wearing heavy chains, and would only be able to come out for half an hour every day. Not as An Ru, not only did she not need to wear any iron chains, she also had a single room, and was allowed to enter and leave the courtyard freely as long as she did not leave the villa.
They had treated her like this because she was just an ordinary person and wouldn't be a threat to the people who were guarding her. The rest of the prisoners were all Martial Cultivator, and a slight mistake on their part could cause them to kill guards and escape from the prison, so they had no choice but to treat them strictly.
An Ru did not know about all this and felt that these people treating a beautiful girl like her had shown that they were somewhat human, but this good impression had already been worn out after two months of suffering, and now only anger remained in her heart.
But she could be only angry. In this place, she no longer could do anything outside or in the commercial world. All she had was helplessness; she could only continue to waste days and days here, wasting her life and her precious time. So one day in here feels like a year, and today was the same. It was also a hard day for her.
Thinking that she had to continue to suffer here and there was nothing she could do, An Ru sighed dejectedly. She shook her head and was about to return to her room when she suddenly heard the harsh sound of a siren outside. "Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! Gather!"
Amid the shouting, numerous figures rushed out from many rooms outside. These people were not running as the army leaving barracks, but rather directly fly out of the room. The ones who lived upstairs were even more powerful, and they instantly jumped down rather than walked through stairs to join the gathering.
An Ru stood in the courtyard and looked at those people who were in an emergency muster in surprise. And then she watched them leaving here. The people who were guarding the villa all disappeared in a flash.
Seeing that there were fewer guards now, the Martial Cultivators who were locked up became restless. They all went to the iron window to check the situation outside, but more importantly, they wanted to see if there were any chances of escape.
An Ru was very self-aware. She knew that those were the Martial Cultivators, and she was just an ordinary person, even if there were fewer people outside, she would have no chance of escaping from this place. So she chose to return her room helplessly.
The villa returned to its former tranquility and baldness after the agitation.
Outside, the two guards who were guarding the gate were watching those restless people vigilantly at first. Then, after seeing that those people had settled down, they relaxed as well. They leaned against the door, smoking and chatting. In any case, those stronger and more advanced cultivators had already left. It was rare for them to have a chance to relax while staying here to guard the door every day.
"I say, big brother, what was going on today? It's actually serious. Everyone has been sent out, and only the two of us are here?" Guard A blew out a smoke ring and asked Guard B.
Guard B smirked. "Heh heh, you're asking the right person, my friend. I heard a few things just now. Someone received a call from higher-ups, saying that our new secret stronghold in the city was broken into, and two of our men were killed. "
When the guard heard this, he almost puffed out the smoke from his mouth. He was obviously shocked, and at the same time, he couldn't believe it, "Big brother, are you sure you heard clearly? Did someone actually dare to kill our Dragon Group's people?"
"Nonsense, with my hearing, how could I have misheard?" Guard B is very dissatisfied with Guard A's suspicious attitude towards him, "Besides, if such a big thing had not happened, would the people here all be gathered together, leaving only the two of us here? I think we are going to do a big search of the city to catch the person who dares to kill our Dragon Group's people. "
"Hehe, Big Brother, I didn't doubt your words." The guard immediately smiled apologetically, "I just think that person is too bold, he even dared to kill the people from Dragon Group. This has already been a long time since I heard of such things, is he tired of living?"
"Who knew that person …"When Guard B took over the words of Guard A and was about to say something, he stopped abruptly with the first few words. "Who is it?"
"Big Brother, is there someone?" Before Guard A could react, a middle-aged man with a sturdy appearance and a full black whisker stood in front of them. His speed was as fast as lightning.
"Who are you?" The two of them asked in shock.
The middle-aged man replied by slapping them on the shoulder and knocking them out on the ground. The two of them were just at the Beginning Stage level of cultivation (the guards at the door were certainly not very powerful), but the middle-aged man was at the Inner Stage level, dealing with the two of them was easy.
The person who came was none other than Wang Zhong, the guard of An Ru's villa. An Ru called him Uncle Zhong.
In the past few days, Wang Zhong had been lurking in the vicinity, looking for an opportunity to save An Ru. It was a pity that he did not have the chance to do so, and this time, seeing that all the experts had left, it could be considered an excellent opportunity is given by the heavens. So he took action.
Of course, he was not Qin Hao, and did not have Qin Hao's bachelor's temper, so he had some sense of propriety. He did not kill them, and only knocked them out. In these few days, he had heard that this was a stronghold of the Dragon Group, and he knew the reputation of the Dragon Group very well, so he didn't dare to offend the Dragon Group.
There was a rumor in the underworld that you would rather offend a country's leader than Dragon Group. The leader of a country was only trying to kill you within the borders, but the Dragon Group was trying to kill you across borders. Furthermore, there were the seven great sects behind the Dragon Group. And there are no Cultivators in the city who were so arrogant as to dare contend against the seven great sects.
The most frightening part was the Dragon Group's record. So far, not a single person who was on the Dragon Group's killing list had escaped. If one insisted it had, then it would be Qin Hao. However, Qin Hao was a freak, it was purely an accident. Moreover, the fight between Qin Hao and the Dragon Group had just started, so it was still unknown whether Qin Hao would follow in the footsteps of the other dead.
When the two hounds at the door saw the enemy, they immediately revealed their sharp teeth and rushed towards Wang Zhong with a roar. How could two animals be a match for an Inner Stage Martial Cultivator? Wang Zhong threw out two kicks casually and kicked the two dogs out, causing them to fall unconscious on the ground.
He did not dare to kill these two dogs. As the saying goes, consider its master before hit a dog, and certainly one must look at its master before killing the dog. He could not help but fear the Dragon Group.
After solving the two people and the two dogs, Wang Zhong broke the door and rushed into the villa.
The people inside were now even more agitated than before. All of them pounced towards the iron window and shouted loudly, there were no doubts that they wanted Wang Zhong to let them out, some even promised to give Wang Zhong some benefits if he was released.
Wang Zhong was indifferent to their cries. He only wanted to save An Ru, the other people were not his duty, he did not dare to let them go, releasing them would offend the Dragon Group completely, and at that time, there would be no leeway for it.
"Uncle Zhong, why are you here?" Hearing the commotion outside, An Ru was the first one to rush out, and only she was able to do so, the others were not free to do so.
"Miss." Wang Zhong was extremely excited to see An Ru, but when he saw that her beautiful face that used to shine brilliantly became emaciated and haggard, he couldn't help but feel a little sore in his heart.
"Miss, you … you've had a rough time." Wang Zhong's voice trembled slightly.
"Uncle Zhong, I'm fine. Where's my mother? How is Xiang Lan Corp.?" These were the things that An Ru desired to know right now.
Wang Zhong wanted to tell her everything in detail, but this was obviously not the time to be long-winded. They had to leave quickly, "Miss, let's leave this place first, we will talk about these matters later."
"Mm. Alright." An Ru also knew that they had to leave this place as soon as possible.
Seeing Wang Zhong bringing An Ru away, the other people who were imprisoned started shouting crazily, some were even angrily cursing at Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong did not bother to pay attention to them, and as they scolded what they wanted, he quickly brought An Ru and disappeared into the path of the mountain forest.
"Uncle Zhong, let's rest here for a while. I can't walk anymore. "Ah, there is a mountain spring there, let's go there and drink some water." An Ru said as she crawled towards the mountain spring.
"Miss, be careful." Wang Zhong followed behind An Ru anxiously, just in case she fell. He somehow wished that he was a woman, so he could support An Ru or carry her on his back.
With great effort, An Ru finally reached the spring. Not only was there water to drink, but there was also a small pavilion to rest in.
The spring water was very sweet, and after An Ru gulped down a few mouthfuls, she shouted at Wang Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, come and drink some water too, this water is very nice to drink."
"Miss, we have to leave immediately." Wang Zhong replied with a serious expression. He seemed to have sensed something and felt danger approaching.
"What's wrong? Has someone caught up with us?" An Ru stood up and looked around, except the forest and the grass, she did not see anyone else, "Uncle Zhong, there's no one."
"Hahaha, here I am, beauty. "Hahaha." Strange laughter that sounded like a duck rang out suddenly, which made them startling. The voice came from the pavilion, and the two of them quickly looked in that direction. However, the pavilion was empty.
"Who?" Wang Zhong stood in front of An Ru anxiously and protected her, and then shouted at the pavilion.
"It's your grandpa."
Under astonished gazes of An Ru and WangZhong, a child walked out from behind the stone table in the middle of the pavilion. No, not a child, a child could not be so old, and could not have a beard. More accurately, it was a dwarf that was about the same height as a child. His face was huge, and he had mustaches.
The dwarf was holding a bag of dried beans in one hand and stuffing them into his mouth with the other hand. His mouth is making "Kacha Kacha" noises.
Seeing such a tiny guy, An Ru felt that this "little guy" was rather interesting, and he had wiped out her shock completely. And she thought the little guy had a funny appearance. No wonder she couldn't see anyone. He wasn't even as tall as the stone table, so he was all blocked.
However, Wang Zhong was different. After seeing the dwarf walk out, his face paled a bit, and he recognized who this person was.
