Touya Yaoyao

At that very moment, Ye was still doing his best to guide the relentless investigators, trying to keep them further and further away from the location where the evidence was released.

He moved with the agility of a cat, darting swiftly through the narrow alleyway, barely wide enough for one person to pass at a time. Every step felt like walking on a knife's edge; a single misstep would mean being overtaken by the enemy behind him. Yet, Ye showed no hesitation or retreat. He nimbly leaped over obstacle after obstacle, his movements fluid and seamless.

By now, large beads of sweat had soaked through his once clean and tidy clothes, clinging tightly to his back and making him feel sticky and uncomfortable. Even so, Ye dared not stop for even a moment. He knew that if he stopped, all his previous efforts would be in vain; not only would he fail to protect the crucial evidence, but he himself would likely be unable to escape.

The ruthless investigators from the interest group, like sharks smelling blood, relentlessly pursued Ye Qi. As they ran, they shouted furiously, "Stop! Don't run!" Their roars seemed to pierce the sky, deafeningly loud.

Ye was already panting heavily and drenched in sweat. He felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and every step required all his strength. But even so, he dared not slacken in the slightest, because a raging fire burned in his heart—he had to buy enough precious time for Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi no matter what.

This belief, like a lighthouse, illuminated his path forward, giving him endless strength and courage, and supporting him to persevere through this arduous and perilous escape journey.

Just when he felt he had reached his limit, as if he was about to completely collapse and could no longer hold on, he suddenly caught sight of a rather dilapidated and long-abandoned factory not far ahead. This discovery instantly ignited a glimmer of hope in him, and his mind raced.

Without the slightest hesitation, he sprinted towards the abandoned factory with his last ounce of strength, like an arrow released from a bow. At the same time, he secretly prayed that the factory could become a temporary refuge for him from the pursuers.

The investigators who were closely following him naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. Seeing their target rush towards the abandoned factory, they all sped up to keep up, afraid that if they relaxed even slightly, they would lose track of the clues and allow their hard-won target to escape again.

Inside that old, dilapidated factory, a thick layer of dust filled the air, forming a hazy, gray fog that made it difficult to breathe. The factory was unusually dimly lit, with only a few chandeliers casting a faint glow that barely illuminated a small area, while the rest of the factory was shrouded in darkness, resembling a giant maze.

In this mysterious and dangerous environment, Ye, like a nimble feline, skillfully utilized the complex terrain and obstacles to engage in a thrilling game of cat and mouse with the relentless pursuers. He would sometimes hide behind mountains of goods, and at other times swiftly traverse narrow, dark passages, his movements as fast as lightning, making him impossible for the investigators to track.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the city, Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi, after much arduous effort, finally succeeded in revealing crucial evidence to the public. However, they did not lower their guard in the slightest, knowing full well that the enemy would not give up easily. The two remained highly vigilant, closely monitoring their surroundings, ready to respond to any potential crises.

Their hearts clenched, filled with worry for Ye Qishi's safety. Yu Yaoyao's hands trembled as she dialed Ye Qishi's number, her heart tightening with each ring. When the phone stopped, Yu Yaoyao shouted impatiently into the phone, "Ye Qishi, how are you? Answer me if you hear me!" However, there was only deathly silence on the other end; no response came.

Yu Yaoyao's face instantly turned deathly pale, tears welling up in her eyes. Bai Taoyi, seeing this, was also extremely anxious. She frowned deeply and said firmly, "No, we can't just sit here and wait like this. We have to find him as soon as possible!" As she spoke, she began pacing back and forth in the room, her mind racing.

Yu Yaoyao nodded obediently, indicating her agreement to go and find Ye Qishi together. Thus, the two of them embarked on their journey to find Ye Qishi.

At this very moment, Ye was actually inside a massive factory. Faced with relentless pursuers, he had no choice but to hide like a frightened rabbit, playing a thrilling game of hide-and-seek with them.

He nimbly moved among the various large machines, eventually choosing to hide behind an exceptionally massive one. He was extremely tense at that moment, not daring to even breathe, afraid that the slightest sound of his breathing would give him away.

However, at this critical and life-or-death moment, something unexpected happened! A rat, seemingly appearing from nowhere, darted past Ye Qishi's trembling feet like lightning, without any warning. At the same time, the rat emitted a series of sharp, piercing, and chilling squeaks as it ran.

This sudden turn of events made Ye Qiqi's heart tighten, and a fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

The investigators also clearly heard the strange noise. They immediately stopped, listened attentively, and slowly moved their bodies, gradually approaching the direction where Ye was hiding.

As the enemy drew ever closer, Ye Qishi's heart pounded wildly, as if it would burst from his chest. He clenched his fists tightly, his palms already sweating, and silently resolved that if he were discovered, he would fight them to the death!

In the blink of an eye! At that critical, extremely dangerous moment, Yu Yaoyao and Bai Taoshi arrived at the scene like saviors descending from the heavens, moving with lightning speed. Their figures streaked across the sky like two bolts of lightning, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
