"Xingzhi, what are you doing?!"

Xie Mingyi grabbed Pei Xingzhi, who suddenly rushed out, somewhat panicked and bewildered.

Pei Xingzhi glared, gritting his teeth as he said, "Chai Rui heard A Yuan's voice! A Yuan is really locked up in that villa! I'm going to find her... I'm going to find her!"

"Wait a minute!" Xie Mingyi pulled him back forcefully, his voice clenched tightly. "There are bodyguards everywhere in the villa. You'd better think of a way to get in! If you just swagger in like this, forget about saving Zhaozhao, we'll all become Qin Wushuang's hostages!"

“Yes,” Lin Jiahe helped Xie Mingyi persuade, “Pei Xingzhi, calm down. Let’s think of a way first, and then see how to get in.”

"..." Pei Xingzhi clenched his fists, clearly having lost the patience to slowly come up with a solution.

At that moment, his phone screen suddenly lit up dimly.

Lin Jiahe whispered a reminder to him: "Pei Xingzhi, it seems like Chai Rui sent you a message."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingzhi quickly picked up his phone to read Chai Rui's message.

—Brother Pei, it seems like your wife is arguing with someone.

Pei Xingzhi typed a few words with trembling fingers.

—Who are you arguing with? Qin Wushuang?

Chai Rui: It's not Qin Wushuang, it's a woman.

Pei Xingzhi: A woman?

Chai Rui focused intently, listening carefully to the sounds coming from the second floor of the villa.

"No way, are you out of your mind, you old hag?!" Xie Zhaoyuan's voice was full of speechlessness, and upon closer listening, it even sounded a bit like she was about to collapse.

"You're just Qin Wushuang's nanny, not his mother. Why are you worrying about these things for him all the time? Besides, I've said it many times, I will never compromise with Qin Wushuang, not even if it means death!"

“Xiao Song…” another female voice sounded somewhat old, “Why are you so stubborn? It doesn’t matter who you live with, as long as they’re good to you, isn’t that enough?”

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Shut up!! Don't think I won't hit you just because you're old!!"

Chai Rui: My sister-in-law is arguing with an old woman. They're arguing really fiercely, and my sister-in-law even wants to hit her.

"An old woman?" Xie Mingyi looked at Pei Xingzhi's phone, frowning in confusion. "Why would there be an old woman in the villa? Could it be Ding Fenglian?"

“It can’t be Ding Fenglian.” Pei Xingzhi was very certain. “Ding Fenglian is under house arrest in Yuncheng by the criminal police team, and there is absolutely no way she could come to Linzhou. Moreover, Qin Wushuang wouldn’t dare to let A Yuan interact with Ding Fenglian in this capacity.”

"But if it's not Ding Fenglian, then who could this old woman be?" Lin Jiahe asked, puzzled.

Pei Xingzhi thought for a moment, then said somewhat irritably, "It's probably the nanny. After all, such a big villa can't be lived in without a nanny to clean it."

"...A nanny?" Xie Mingyi asked incredulously. "Why is A-Yuan arguing with a nanny?"

"I don't know." Pei Xingzhi wasn't in the mood to care about that right now; he sent a message to Chai Rui.

What is the security situation like inside the villa?

Chai Rui didn't reply for almost a minute.

There are many bodyguards inside; there are more than twenty guards alone responsible for watching over the villa.

Pei Xingzhi: What about the bodyguards in other places? Are there just as many?

Chai Rui: There aren't as many bodyguards in other places. If you want to come in, you can take the small path on your right. There are no bodyguards patrolling that path, and the green coverage is also very high. As long as you are careful, you won't be easily spotted.

Pei Xingzhi replied with "Okay," and then turned off his phone.

"It's 2:50 a.m. now. Qin Wushuang will probably be back in about an hour. In an hour, even if we can't rescue Ayuan, we can still sneak into the manor and hide."

"Shall we take action?" Xie Mingyi asked in a deep voice, looking at the lone bodyguard in the distance.

"Let's do it." Pei Xingzhi didn't hesitate at all.

"What about this bodyguard?" Lin Jiahe asked worriedly. "Should we throw a rock at him and knock him unconscious?"

"Hmph..." Pei Xingzhi chuckled and pulled the backpack from his shoulder to the front. "There's no need to be so violent."

As he spoke, he unzipped his backpack and took out a towel and a small bottle of colorless, transparent liquid.

"What is this?" Lin Jiahe asked.

“Ether,” Pei Xingzhi said frankly.

"...Ether?" Lin Jiahe was startled. "How did you get this?"

Pei Xingzhi: "This is what I prepared for Qin Wushuang. I originally thought that if I had a chance to get close to him, I would use this to knock him unconscious. If I didn't have a chance to get close to him, I would pour it on him and then set him on fire to burn him to death."

"Okay!" Xie Mingyi's face darkened, his tone extremely displeased. "Don't say such nonsensical things."

Pei Xingzhi raised an eyebrow but did not respond.

He unscrewed the bottle and poured the liquid inside onto a towel: "Who's confident they can subdue him in one move?"

“I have it!” A tall, muscular man stepped out from the darkness behind him.

“Brother Pei, I worked as a fitness instructor for six years and studied taekwondo for three years. Taking him down is definitely not a problem.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingzhi carefully examined his physique and, seeing that he indeed seemed to have some skills, handed him the towel in his hand.

"Ether is highly volatile, so please be as quick as possible."

Man: "No problem!"

He took the towel, casually hid it behind his back, and then leisurely walked out of the grove.

"A hearty laugh echoes across the vast ocean, as tides surge on both shores..."

He hummed a little tune leisurely as he walked directly toward the bodyguard at the door.

The bodyguard didn't understand what he did at first, until he got closer and asked, "Hey, what are you doing here?"

The man said nonchalantly, "I'm not doing anything, I'm just taking a walk. What, is that illegal?"

Bodyguard: "It's not illegal, but this is a private resort. If you want to take a walk, go somewhere else."

"A private villa?" The man continued walking without stopping. "What's wrong with a private villa? I didn't go through that door."

"It's not okay even if we don't have it!" The bodyguard grabbed the man's arm and shoved him outside. "This area outside the door also belongs to our boss. If I say we can't leave, we can't leave!"

"Hey!" The man shook off the bodyguard's hand, puffed out his chest, and glared at him. "Your boss is so domineering, he won't even let people walk outside the door!"

Bodyguard: "Yes, no! Go back to where you came from right now!"

The man shook his head cheekily: "I'm not going back!"

"Tsk, you fucking can't understand human language, can you?" The bodyguard was so angry that he couldn't control his temper and tried to kick him out.

But he suddenly dodged and quickly moved to the side of the bodyguard.

"Huh?" Before the bodyguard could react, a thick towel suddenly appeared over his mouth and nose.

The towel smelled extremely pungent; after only a few breaths, he felt his head throbbing and his vision blurring.

"Ugh—" He instinctively struggled, but the man's strong arms pressed down on his neck.

At the same time, the hand covering his mouth and nose suddenly increased its force, causing him excruciating pain in his nose, as if the man was about to break his nasal bones.

"Ugh..." He struggled in vain for a few moments, then suddenly lost consciousness.

"Oh!"

The man threw the unconscious bodyguard to the ground, his heavy body making a dull thud as it hit the concrete.
