Chapter 214 Betrayal
Upon hearing this, Su Yiran looked up at Federer.
Seen it?
When did you meet him?
"But you're also careless; you didn't even notice there was something extra in your bag."
Charles continued, "I heard that after that day, your bodyguard was punished by Gu Yanli and couldn't get out of bed for several days. I suppose Gu Yanli won't let you know about this."
Gu Jing?
It turned out to be the case.
She sensed something was wrong at the time, but no one told her the real reason. Even when she asked Gu Yanli to bring Gu Jing with her, he was clearly reluctant, but he still agreed.
However, at the same time, his status in the Gu family is not as good as before.
What did you put in my bag?
Federico didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "Gu Yanli has always been intolerant of any wrongdoing. If he treats his own people this way, what about others? Why don't you think he's ruthless now?"
Su Yiran asked again, "What exactly did you put there?"
"It's just a small gadget, it's not important."
Federico waved his hand and walked past her.
"Take Miss Su back. The weather is bad these days, so don't go out."
Su Yiran clenched her fists, letting his men take her back.
For the past two days, she has been confined to her room while it rained heavily outside. The rain didn't clear up until the third day.
Su Yiran sat by the window.
Now that Federico has caught him, Gu Jing is bound to be the target of his anger again.
Gu Jing's injuries were all because of her.
Gu Yanli's decision not to let him stay by her side was perhaps for his own good.
The door was opened.
It was Uncle Zhong, whom I hadn't seen for several days.
"I mean."
Uncle Zhong looked at her from afar and said, "The sun is out today, would you like to go for a walk?"
Su Yiran glanced at him sideways, "Fedric let me out?"
“Mr. Federer has set up a swing and a pavilion outside, which offers a very nice view.”
Uncle Zhong said, "Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, so you can't just sit or lie down all the time. Appropriate exercise is good. He cares about you a lot, and the doctors and nurses are on call 24 hours a day."
"Standby 24/7?"
Su Yiran sneered and looked away, "He really doesn't want anything good for me."
She's only a little over seven months old.
Uncle Zhong watched her retreating figure, shook his head, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Since Federico wasn't keeping her locked up, and she was getting tired of sitting, she got up to leave, when she caught a glimpse of a note under the vase.
This is--
Just as Su Yiran took the note, the door opened, and she instinctively hid it.
Federer immediately noticed Su Yiran's flustered expression and frowned, "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
"Isn't it ridiculous that a man suddenly barges into my room and asks me why I'm nervous?"
Su Yiran didn't even glance at him before walking past him.
"Where are you going?"
"Go out for a walk and soak up some sun. Surely Mr. Federer isn't even satisfied with this simple wish?"
"...Do as you please, but be careful."
Su Yiran walked away.
Federico withdrew his gaze, fixed it on the room, looked around, and finding nothing amiss, left the room.
Federer instructed his men, "Keep an eye on that guy surnamed Zhong, and don't let him have much contact with Su Yiran."
"Are you worried that he might betray you, sir?"
"Who can say for sure?"
"……Yes."
The subordinate left.
……
12:30 a.m.
A figure slipped out of the room, evading all the eyes and ears, and boarded a ship that was heading to the other side to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.
Su Yiran was on tenterhooks the whole time, being extremely careful and not daring to disturb anyone, and stayed hidden at the bottom.
She had observed that there was very little surveillance here, so apart from avoiding Federico's men, she didn't need to avoid much surveillance.
But the ship was also full of Federico's people, so she had to be careful.
However, being pregnant, Su Yiran was particularly sensitive to smells. She was fine when she first boarded the ship, but after a while, coupled with the poor ventilation at the bottom, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
But there are people above her, and if she goes up there she will definitely be discovered, and then she won't be able to escape.
No.
She can endure it a little longer.
Ships that usually purchase supplies return around dawn, and a round trip takes about three hours each way.
Su Yiran took a deep breath and took out the note.
[12:30 AM, Matter]
A short sentence.
It was Uncle Zhong who gave it to her.
She didn't believe it at first, but at this point, she had no choice but to take a gamble, even if it was Federico's trap.
When people are feeling unwell, they like to numb themselves by sleeping.
In her dazed state, Su Yiran sensed that the ship had docked and she suddenly woke up.
"arrive."
She perked up and cautiously climbed up, making sure no one was there before proceeding.
She hid in the back, secretly watching ahead. It was drizzling, and everyone was wearing waterproof hats, carrying supplies they had bought in advance on the ground.
Suddenly, someone ran out from inside, saying, "Sir, you're on the phone."
The leader rushed inside immediately.
Federico?
At this point, Federico made a phone call?
not good!
He must have discovered that she was missing.
Without thinking, Su Yiran grabbed a hat from the side, put it on her head, and pretended to be carrying supplies as she ran out.
She was dressed in all black today, with a wide cloak, and no one noticed anything amiss.
The moment her feet touched the ground, the people behind her shouted back.
Su Yiran took off running.
It was probably the dead of night, and with the rain, in the midst of the chaos, no one noticed that she had already disembarked.
Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to outrun those tall and strong men.
Su Yiran ran a distance and saw a ship approaching from the sea in the distance.
Federico came in person.
She really has a lot of influence.
They actually sent Federico himself to arrest them.
Su Yiran turned and left.
The most urgent thing now is to hide him and then find a way to contact Gu Yanli.
……
"The freshly made hot soup will warm you up."
Su Yiran had been running around all night and was exhausted, but luckily she ran into a family: an elderly woman in her seventies or eighties and her granddaughter.
The other person was speaking the local dialect, which she couldn't understand, but she could still guess a thing or two from their tone and gestures.
"Thank you."
Su Yiran thanked them and tried to communicate with them. She learned that this was a remote village in South Africa where arson, murder, and looting were common and the security was very poor.
The old man vacated his granddaughter's room for Su Yiran to rest in, and the granddaughter slept with the old man.
Su Yiran couldn't sleep well all night, but she was extremely sleepy. Just as she fell asleep, she was instantly awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
She got up and looked outside, where she saw Federico's men.
He came looking for me.
How could it be so fast?
Her palms were sweating. Suddenly, she heard a voice coming from the next room. She quickly ran out and saw the old man come out.
"I……"
Su Yiran held the old man's hand, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
