After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

She said this with great sincerity, and the tears in her eyes made Yi An feel that she was really worried about him.

Yi An reached out and held her in his arms. Tao Tao obediently took a step forward, leaned against his chest, and raised her hands to hug his back.

She closed her eyes and tears rolled down. Yi An happened to hold her shoulders. The two of them moved apart a little, one looked up and the other lowered her head, and their eyes met.

Yi An gently stroked her face with his fingers and said with a smile, "Don't cry."

Tao Tao forced herself to raise the corners of her lips and hugged him again.

Yi An was ecstatic. He buried his head in her neck and took a deep breath.

The autumn wind blew, and the hems of their clothes were blown up, tangled together, and then separated.

In the evening, Yi'an took Tao Tao to sit in the yard. He wrote while Tao Tao continued to embroider.

Zifei hurried inside, and when he saw Tao Tao, he stopped talking in time and said, "Sir, I have something important to report."

Yi An looked at him. After more than ten years of being master and servant, he instantly understood what he meant. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Speak."

Zifei said: "In Tongqiu County, Miss Tao's missing person notice has been withdrawn, and the people in charge of the search have also withdrawn."

After hearing this, Yi An glanced at Tao Tao's expression. She lowered her head but did not stop moving her hands.

"Okay, I understand, let's go down."

After Zifei left, Yian put his hands on the table and turned to look at Tao Tao.

Tao Tao noticed his gaze and looked up and said, "Why are you looking at me..."

Yi An asked, "A Tao, are you sad?"

Tao Tao nodded, her hands trembling slightly.

This time it was Zifei who brought the news, and it was very likely true. Did they really withdraw their troops?! Did they find the body and really make a mistake, or was there some other reason? But it was definitely not that they gave up.

Tao Tao was really sad and couldn't believe it. It seemed that the only reason they were asked to withdraw their troops was that they had recognized the wrong person.

That Xunyan...really died under the cliff.

Tao Tao felt her breathing hold and the thing in her hand fell to the ground.

Yi An just thought that she heard the news with her own ears. She couldn't stand it for a moment, so she picked up the things on the ground and put them on the table, comforting her: "A Tao, don't..."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Tao burst into tears. He hurriedly said, "Don't cry, don't cry."

Tao Tao cried because of Xun Yan, but she didn't believe that they would make a mistake, and she couldn't believe that Xun Yan was dead.

Yi An comforted her gently. Tao Tao held his clothes tightly and leaned on his shoulder. She stared at him with red eyes where he couldn't see. She just hated that she had to pretend to cry so that he wouldn't see any clues.

"Yian, you are all I have now..." Tao Tao said gritting her teeth.

Yi An hurriedly said: "It's the same for me. I only have you, and you only have me."

Tao Tao closed her eyes and kept telling herself to calm down. It didn't mean they had really withdrawn their troops. Perhaps it was just a show put on by Yi An and Zi Fei to make her believe that they had really given up looking for her.

She had to stay calm, because now the only way to see the truth was to escape.

Tao Tao gently pushed him away and said, "I'm tired. I want to rest."

Yian nodded, picked her up and walked into the house.

After washing up, Tao Tao lowered her head and sat in front of the bed, watching Yi An put handcuffs on her.

Yi An touched her head and said, "I'll go take a shower and come back to accompany you."

Tao Tao hummed and hugged her knees silently.

After he left, Tao Tao buried her head in her knees and thought hard.

Did they really withdraw their troops? This was unlike Yiqing's style, and Xia Nian and the other two would not compromise.

Although she looked similar to Xun Yan, she was not so similar that Xia Nian and the other two could not recognize her, unless... Xun Yan fell off the cliff and became unrecognizable.

"No, it won't." Tao Tao shook his head violently and covered his ears with his hands.

Why did they withdraw the troops? If we exclude the possibility that Yi An was acting, the best scenario is that Xun Yan is not dead, but told them that she is fine for the time being, and guessed that she might be in Tongqiu County.

At this time, Nian Nian would think that she must not alert the enemy, because Yi An was very cautious. In this case, was the withdrawal intentional in order to let Yi An relax his vigilance?

Thinking of this, Tao Tao relaxed a little.

It was good for them to know that she was okay, and she couldn't just wait for them to rescue her.

If they went to Zhulin's yard and saw the chains left by Yian, they would definitely be very angry and sad, and she must escape quickly!

Tao Tao raised her hand and looked at the chain reflecting the light.

She had to get rid of this thing quickly.

After a while, Yi An came back. Tao Tao heard the sound, got out of bed, and ran towards him quickly, but was tripped by the chain and fell to the ground.

Yi An's eyes widened, he quickly stepped forward to help her up, and asked anxiously: "How is it? Did you fall anywhere?"

Tao Tao hugged him and cried, "Why did you take so long? I was so scared. I wanted to find you, but I couldn't leave..."

Yi An patted her back gently and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm back. It's my fault that I was away for so long."

He wiped the tears from Tao Tao's face, turned his eyes over her, and asked, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Yes." Tao Tao said, lifting her skirt to reveal her calves. Her white knees were scraped and blood was oozing out.

Yi An frowned, carried her to the bed, and turned to get the medicine.

"I'm sorry." Tao Tao rubbed her eyes and said, "I wanted to see you so much just now. I was worried that you would be like them and forget that you still have this thing on you."

Yi An carefully applied the medicine to her and said softly, "A Tao, I don't blame you. I won't be like them."

Tao Tao sobbed and said, "Yian, I don't want to wear this thing anymore. I want to find you anytime and anywhere. I'm scared when you leave me alone in the house."

Hearing this, Yi An paused. Looking at his expression, Tao Tao felt that he was worried about whether she would run away. She choked up twice, rushed forward to hug him, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't you care about me? Can't I go find you if I want to?"

"No, you are the only one in my heart." Yi An hugged her back and said.

He did think about the fact that Tao Tao would run away, but it was only for a moment. These days, the two of them spent every day together, and he no longer thought that Tao Tao would leave him. And in his opinion, in Tao Tao's eyes, he was the only one.

He just felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have let Tao Tao hear Zifei's words and made her so sad.

Yi An added: "A Tao, I didn't want to use this on you either. It was my fault before. I was worried that you would leave me."

As he said this, he took out the key from his waist and prepared to unlock her handcuffs.

Tao Tao shook her head and said, "Now you are all I have, where can I go?"

The chains were thrown to the ground, her hands and feet were free, Tao Tao was held in his arms, and heard him say: "Well, we will stay together forever."

Tao Tao raised the corners of her mouth, smiling with a fake smile, and said, "For a lifetime."

Han Liuyi waved the reins and rushed out of Chaomu City.

She had been out of the city before and had no news of anything. After she changed her appearance and went to Baihu City, she learned that Yi An was wanted and Tao Tao was missing. However, the wanted order had been withdrawn in the past few days.

She didn't know what happened, but she was sure that Yi An was definitely not caught. Now she could only ask her father, maybe he knew something about Yi An.

When they arrived at the third farm outside Chaomu City, Han Liuyi saw Han Qianfeng sitting in the yard drinking.

She settled the horse down. When Han Qianfeng saw her, he waved at her and shouted, "Liu Yi, why are you calling your dad so anxiously? What happened? Don't worry, your dad will definitely help you if you have any problem."

Han Liuyi snorted coldly, stepped forward quickly, and said, "Dad, do you know where Yi An is?"
