But under such circumstances, Chu Qianqian really dared not make a sound, even though her sensitive body was reacting in very strange ways.

"Hold on to me..."

Chu Qianqian had a slender figure and was quite tall, but wearing high heels made running on this rural path utterly impractical. Qin Fang, helplessly furrowing his brow, had no choice but to say this.

"Hmm?"

Chu Qianqian was slightly stunned, yet upon seeing the increasing number of figures illuminated by the distant firelight, she also became quite panicked.

Her face blushed slightly, but still, she reached out her delicate hands and wrapped them around Qin Fang's neck...

Qin Fang, however, didn't have time to ponder those romantic niceties. He wrapped his arms around Chu Qianqian's slender waist, slightly exerted strength, lifted her up, and after scanning the surroundings, crouched slightly and quickly dashed deeper into the darkness.

His steps were light, his movements very agile. In such a night, he was not only unbothered but seemed almost like a fish in water...

The surroundings were very dark, the stars above scarce. Although Chu Qianqian gradually adapted to the darkness, she could only make out very faded views of the ground, enough to recognize some clear areas like ditches, ponds, and roads... the rest was murky.

In such an environment, walking for Chu Qianqian could only be done by feeling her way step by step, but now Qin Fang moved as if on level ground, utterly unconcerned with the path beneath his feet...his stride as light as if it were day.

And since she was not using her hands, the one who was injured was...

"Are... Are you hurt?"

Chu Qianqian was not foolish. Despite being overwhelmed by fear, the blood splattered on her face had clued her into what had happened.

"Don't speak; I'm fine..."

However, Qin Fang still appeared relatively calm, whispering to Chu Qianqian, then crouched even lower...

Now, Qin Fang became even more cautious. He didn't rush anymore but carefully surveyed the environment to find better escape routes.

"Damn, I was too confident..."

While scanning his surroundings, Qin Fang also secretly rebuked himself.

He had detected the sudden appearance of these enemies in advance but had underestimated them. Not only were there many of them, but they were also armed with guns...

The black night had given Qin Fang a considerable advantage, making his escape somewhat easier, but the opponents had guns and equipment, which Qin Fang hadn't anticipated, and his previous overconfidence had indeed cost him—he was shot in the right shoulder!

"Thank goodness it's not critical, or it would have been too wrongful..."

Simultaneously, Qin Fang was also very relieved. The place he was shot, fortunately, was the relatively less severe shoulder area. Although it almost instantly rendered his right arm uncontrollable and his life points had plummeted by more than half, it hadn't cost Qin Fang his life...

"Over there... over there..."

"Quick, quick, quick..."

"Split up and encircle him; we must not let him get away..."

The silhouettes in the distance moved rapidly and with great caution. Although they were few in number, they were well-armed, causing Qin Fang's brow to furrow tightly!

The surroundings were quite open. Besides some farmland nearby, there were hardly any homes in sight. A small hill not far away stood out somewhat majestically in the black night.

The current view was extremely broad, almost entirely visible at a glance, making it difficult to find any substantial cover, which complicated Qin Fang's escape significantly.

If it were just him alone, the dark night would have been Qin Fang's best cover, paired with his Stealth Skill. Although he might not have been able to turn defeat into victory, at least his escape was assured.

But now he was not alone; he had Chu Qianqian, a burden following him, making his escape very difficult...

These people were clearly targeting him, Qin Fang, which Chu Qianqian did not know, but Qin Fang did, as the system had sent him a warning beforehand; otherwise, he wouldn't have escaped in advance.

Yet Qin Fang couldn't be sure whether these pursuers would spare the irrelevant Chu Qianqian. He didn't dare to gamble... nor did he want to, so he had to escape with Chu Qianqian.

"Qin... Qin Fang, put me down...Escape on your own!"

Just as Qin Fang was agonizing over how to break out of the encirclement, Chu Qianqian, who also realized this, fearfully and anxiously whispered to him.

"Shut up!"

Under normal circumstances, Qin Fang might have bickered with Chu Qianqian, but now, in a life-or-death situation, their hiding place was not secure, such noise could easily draw enemy fire.

As for leaving Chu Qianqian behind and escaping alone, that was something Qin Fang could never envisage doing... even if Chu Qianqian herself suggested it, he would not agree.

Apart from the Qin and Chu families being friends for many years, with Elder Chu particularly fond of Qin Fang, Qin Fang could not allow Chu Qianqian to be captured or even... killed by the opponents.

Not to mention, Chu Qianqian was a woman, a vulnerable one, and Qin Fang was a man of integrity, not the type to cower or be cowardly; he couldn't just abandon a woman like that.

What Qin Fang needed now was to remain exceptionally calm. The more dangerous the situation, the more serene his mindset needed to be, enabling his mind to function at its best and find a way to escape out of danger.

Not wanting to hear the woman in his arms nagging in his ear, he spoke in a severe tone, immediately making Chu Qianqian behave more submissively, looking pitifully at Qin Fang as if she hadn't expected this man to suddenly become so fierce...(To be continued.
