On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

Chapter 185 Doesn’t He Want to Go to the Toilet?

The two of them stayed on the ground in this awkward up-and-down hugging position for a long time, until Chen Qian's arms could no longer hold on and he called for a stop, only then did they separate.

"It's been a long time since we last met. It was so heartwarming so I gave you a hug." Chi Mu pulled Chen Qian's hand and stood up. His voice sounded very weak, "Xiao Qian, you shouldn't mind, right?

"No..." Chen Qian stared at the two people's tightly clasped hands, and suddenly thought of Miss Shi, whom he had met before leaving. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "Um...are you standing firmly?"

"Ah."

"hand……"

"Oh."

Chen Qian pinched his fingertips and looked at Chi Mu's smile gradually disappearing. He felt a little disappointed for a moment.

"Um...how are your injuries?" Chen Qian had not yet forgotten the tragic scene in the video. His eyes swept over Chi Mu's exposed skin.

"The injuries on your body? They're nothing serious, they're almost healed." Chi Mu rolled up his sleeves and covered his entire forearm as if to show off. There were several small and large, very light bruises on his fair arm.

He raised his hand and rubbed the bruise a few times, then said with his eyes downcast as if nothing had happened, "Without orders from above, they won't do anything to me."

After saying that, he raised his eyelids inconspicuously and glanced at Chen Qian's expression.

Chen Qian looked at the uneven dark spots on the fair skin, feeling mixed emotions and a hint of sourness between his eyebrows.

He reached out and pulled Chi Mu's arm, and began to rub the bruise without saying a word, until the skin began to turn red and slightly hot.

"How did you escape?" Chi Mu did not reject his action, but was very pleased with it, and smiled again.

Chen Qian's hands paused for a few seconds as he pondered the commotion he had just taken advantage of to escape.

He suddenly had an idea, so he asked tentatively, "Brother Chi Mu, when did you escape?"

"It's been a while, more than an hour."

"So they were in a mess just now, actually looking for you, right?" Chen Qian was not surprised that Chi Mu was able to escape alone, but Chi Mu had already come out, wouldn't it be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth to rescue him?

Then he became uneasy again, "We knocked out the person who delivered the food and escaped during the commotion, but we thought you were still imprisoned..."

"you?"

"So Chi Yuxing went to find you." Chen Qian said bluntly, looking at Chi Mu with an embarrassed look.

"As for Chi Yuxing, you don't have to worry about it." Chi Mu caressed Chen Qian's hand as if nothing had happened, then turned to Chen Qian with concern, "Has it been hard lately?"

"It's okay, I'm just hanging." Chen Qianyan said it succinctly in three words.

He recalled the days he spent in that small room and found that although it seemed unbearable at the time, now that he had left the room, he felt that everything he had experienced before was... nothing.

Especially after meeting Chi Mu.

There was a vague feeling of joy and relief in my heart, which came from the fact that I had come here in person.

Those nights when I woke up in the pitch dark, the strange nutrient solution sent by the buzz cut guy, the numb hands and feet from being tied up for too long and lacking blood circulation...

Everything seemed like a nightmare, and now he was half awake, with only a slightly weak body, red bruises on his wrists, and bloodstains that were accidentally rubbed out when he resisted.

Chen Qian raised his eyes to meet Chi Mu's, his voice a little cold, "What about you?"

"I'm also... just tied up." He narrowed his eyes slightly, forming two upside-down crescent moons.

The two did not stay in the room for too long and soon began to discuss their next move.

Although Chen Qian still thought that they should go back to confirm Chi Yuxing's whereabouts, he could not refute Chi Mu's insistence.

So he had to give up Chi Yuxing for the time being and work with Chi Mu to plan how to escape.

"There is a back door here, and there is a path leading directly to the back mountain." Chi Mu used the napkins in the room to spread a large patchwork canvas on the ground, and then filled some water to wet the napkins to draw a simple geographical map.

His finger was pointing vaguely at the middle of the back wall of the house, where there was a small circle representing the back door.

He dipped his fingertips in some water and drew a winding road further beyond the small circle, then put a dot on the side of the road.

"There's a hut here that used to be a temporary shelter for forest rangers. But it's now abandoned."

"Are we going here?" Chen Qian sat cross-legged on the ground, watching very seriously.

"Yes, let's sneak out before dark and then go up the mountain. It will take about ten minutes to get there." Chi Mu crossed his arms and nodded. "When it gets light tomorrow, we will go down the mountain from the other side."

"I remember there are a few small villages at the foot of the mountain, so we just need to go to the village for help." Chen Qian had no objection to this plan. Now that the villa was in chaos, the only way to see hope was to run away as soon as possible.

While thinking, Chi Mu walked to the heavy curtains. He carefully opened the curtains a little, and a thin ray of light instantly appeared on the dark wooden floor, extending straight to Chen Qian's legs.

There was a green field outside the window, and further out one could see a jade-white wall, and beneath the wall stood a man dressed in black, standing upright.

He looked out through the gap to see what was happening outside, his face serious and deep. After a while, Chi Mu turned his head again.

"There are quite a few people in the villa. We'd better climb out through the window, but there are a lot more bodyguards patrolling the yard recently, so it's easy to be discovered."

"When will they change shifts?" Chen Qian was still sitting there, looking up at Chi Mu's actions.

"I don't know about that." Chi Mu's tone was full of regret. "We can only wait for them to reveal their flaws."

"Or...we create a gap ourselves?" Chen Qian's face looks particularly innocent when he relaxes, and even more childish a few years ago. Simon once joked that his face made it very convenient for him to do bad things and deceive people.

Chi Mu looked at his innocent face and was confused for a moment. "Gap? How to create it?"

"Knock him down." He said it as a matter of course.

"Really... That's a good idea, worth a try." Chi Mu nodded in agreement.

They waited from the brightest moment of the afternoon until the sun set.

The bodyguard outside the window stood motionless, showing no intention of leaving or anything else.

"Doesn't he want to go to the toilet?" Chen Qian sighed in confusion.

He had been a little too relaxed when he met Chi Mu. He was now hiding under the curtains bored, with only his eyes exposed to spy on the bodyguard.

"He should have some professionalism too." Chi Mu shook his head lightly, feeling both amused and helpless. He waved his palm over Chen Qian's hair that was sticky with sweat, then hesitated and withdrew his hand to the side.
