Eric hesitated for a moment, then frowned: "What do you want to do with him?"

Gu Xuan was about to speak, but Gu Yueze stopped her, placing his arm between her and Ai Rui. "Why do you care so much? This has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way."

After driving the yellow-haired boy away, Gu Yueze didn't forget to scold Gu Xuan: "What's wrong with you? You're telling this to someone whose origins are unknown? You're hopeless."

Gu Xuan curled her lips, feeling aggrieved and unwilling to accept it: "He might just be curious..."

"Curious as hell! This is something he can be curious about..." Gu Yueze's words stopped abruptly.

Because seven or eight men in black suddenly appeared in front of them, lined up in an orderly manner, blocking their way like a black city wall.

Gu Xuan held her breath: "Who are they?"

Song Zhizhi narrowed her eyes: "Why do I feel a little familiar..."

Gu Yueze said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? They're not coming for us..."

Before he could finish his words, the group of men in black all turned their heads, locked their gazes on the group of four, and strode towards them.

Gu Yueze's expression froze instantly.

He recognized the scarred leader, whom he had seen in the cemetery last time. He was Liz's bodyguard.

"Are they Liz's people?" Gu Xuan also recognized them.

Song Zhizhi's face turned pale. "Yes, it's Liz's people. It seems they are coming for us."

Gu Yueze's Adam's apple rolled: "Could it be that they found out that we kidnapped Duke and are here to settle the score with us?"

Song Zhizhi nodded heavily: "Definitely."

As he was speaking, the bodyguard in black rushed over at an accelerated speed.

A cold metallic light flashed, and Gu Yueze could see clearly that they were all holding batons and wooden sticks.

"No, run away!"

Gu Yueze turned around and was about to pull Gu Xuan, but he saw that Ai Rui had already stepped in front of Gu Xuan.

The little yellow-haired boy seemed like a different person at this moment, with sharp eyes and quick and fierce movements.

He dodged the attack from the first man in black by leaning sideways, and raised his leg to kick him hard in the abdomen.

The man in black groaned and flew two or three meters away.

"Let's go!" Ai Rui grabbed Gu Xuan's wrist and ran with her in the opposite direction.

Gu Yueze widened his eyes and watched Gu Xuan being led away by the little yellow-haired boy, and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.

This little yellow-haired boy doesn't even care about his life or death!

Seeing the man in black continue to rush over, he could only grab Song Zhizhi's hand and say, "What are you standing there for? Run!"

The two of them rushed out like frightened rabbits, followed by the sound of chaotic chasing footsteps.

Running all the way...

Gu Yueze had never run so fast in his life. The wind whistled in his ears and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Song Zhizhi's palms were sweaty and slippery like a fish, but he didn't dare let go, for fear that the girl would be left alone if he let go.

"Left!" Song Zhizhi suddenly shouted, pointing in the direction where Ai Rui and Gu Xuan escaped.

Gu Yueze made a sharp turn and pulled her into a narrow alley.

But because Eric ran so fast, they soon couldn't keep up.

The two of them wandered around in the maze-like alleys and finally hid in a corner filled with cardboard boxes, holding their breath and listening to the noise outside.

The chaotic sound of footsteps came from far away and then gradually faded away.

Until the group of black-clad bodyguards completely walked away and disappeared...

Song Zhizhi leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. "It was so scary. I almost got killed by them."

Gu Yueze wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It seems that Liz has set her sights on us. Let's leave this city first."

Song Zhizhi nodded, suddenly realized something, and looked down.

Gu Yueze was still holding her hand tightly.

Her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.

Gu Yueze followed her gaze and immediately threw his hand away as if he had been burned: "Damn it!"

The two men each took a half step back and wiped their hands desperately on their clothes, as if they had just held something dirty.

"So disgusting!" Song Zhizhi made a vomiting expression.

"I'm going to vomit, okay? Your palms are all sweaty!" Gu Yueze rolled his eyes.

The two of them dislike each other.

At the same time, the man in black outside the alley chased the man all the way, but finally lost him.

They stopped in the road to catch their breath.

One of the men in black said, "What should we do? The young master has escaped again."

"Keep chasing, and tell Liz that we saw the young master nearby."

After saying that, the men in black began to disperse and look for people.

If they weren't afraid of hurting the young master and needed to capture him alive, they wouldn't have watched him run away.

............

On the other side, Ai Rui took Gu Xuan and ran very far.

Gu Xuan was almost out of breath from running, her lungs felt like they were on fire. She held onto Ai Rui's wrist tightly and was almost dragged forward by him.

"No... I... can't run anymore..." She begged breathlessly, her throat sore.

Ai Rui looked back at her, then quickly glanced behind him. The group of men in black had caught up with him again, with no intention of letting him go.

So he dragged Gu Xuan into a narrow alley and pushed open a mottled wooden door.

The moment the door closed, Gu Xuan's back suddenly hit the door panel, and Ai Rui supported the door with both hands.

The two of them were so close that she could feel Eric's rapid breathing on her forehead and see the fan-shaped shadows cast by his eyelashes.

"Well, you..."

"Don't make a sound." Eric covered her mouth with his palm and whispered, his blue eyes looking particularly deep in the dim light.

Gu Xuan widened her eyes and nodded.

Outside the door, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from far away.

The group of men in black have not given up and are still looking for them.

Until the footsteps fade away again...

Only then did Ari let go of his hand, but the two of them still maintained a dangerously close distance.

Gu Xuan leaned on Ai Rui, her chest heaving violently.

When she finally caught her breath, she found herself wrapped in Eric's arms, his arms resting on her ears, forming a closed space.

She subconsciously tried to break free, but Eric held her shoulders and said, "Wait, they might not have left yet."

Sure enough, footsteps were heard outside the door again. The man in black came back, this time closer, and seemed to be wandering outside the door.

Gu Xuan suddenly froze and even held her breath.

Ai Rui leaned forward slightly to protect her more tightly.

Fortunately, the group of people stayed for a few seconds and left without finding anyone.

Gu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then realized that she was still holding Ai Rui's clothes, and quickly let go.

There were already a few wrinkles on the fabric.

"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble." She whispered, lowering her head guiltily.

Ari raised an eyebrow: "You... implicate me?"

"Yeah." Gu Xuan bit her lower lip. "We kidnapped Duke. Those people are here to kill us."
