Chapter 940 -944: Clever

“We’re almost there,” the girl said forcefully as she dragged him, “I read in a book that water can throw pursuing hounds off scent. There’s a pond ahead, hide in it, and the hounds won’t be able to find you.”

Alive, who wants to die?

He didn’t want to run anymore because he felt he surely couldn’t escape.

Hearing the girl say their route was planned for escape, not just reckless running, he forced himself up from the ground and followed the girl through another alley.

Sure enough, at the end of the alley, there was a pond.

As the barking of the hounds grew closer, he hurriedly wanted to get into the water, but the girl grabbed his clothes, “Take off your coat.”

He thought the girl was worried about the coat getting wet, so he took it off and handed it to her.

After he took off his coat, the girl pulled a length of reed from beside the pond and handed it to him, “Here, put this in your mouth and also hide your head underwater. Just lie by the shore, as long as the water covers your head. Don’t go to the middle, it could drown you.”

He found the girl nagging and said impatiently, “I can swim.”

The girl retorted, “But you’re not a submarine, how long can you hold your breath underwater?”

He had no reply, glared at her, bit the reed in his mouth, and was about to get into the water.

The girl said, “Give me your shoes too.”

This time, he didn’t argue; he tossed his shoes and got into the water.

The girl put on his shoes and coat, “Stay hidden and don’t move; I’ll lead them away.”

He suddenly panicked, “Are you crazy? Can you outrun the hounds?”

“Without you slowing me down, I can,” she replied with a radiant smile under the moonlight, looking as beautiful as a sprite, “The water can stop the hounds from following, but if the hounds follow the scent here, you won’t escape. I have to lead them away so they can’t find this pond. Stay hidden and as soon as it gets light, head straight home.”

After speaking, she zipped up his coat, pulled on the hood, and ran towards the sound of the barking hounds.

He watched her disappearing back, stunned.

A moment later, the barking intensified.

After another moment, the barking grew more distant from him.

Hidden in the water, he knew he was safe, but his mind was greatly preoccupied with the girl’s safety.

He didn’t know if she had escaped her pursuers.

Although his enemies had no quarrel with her, she had helped him, causing the plans of his enemies to fail.

If she were caught by his enemies, she certainly wouldn’t end well.

She might even be tortured severely by his enemies.

Would she betray him then?

Reason told him that he should change locations.

If the girl were caught and revealed his hiding place, he would be doomed.

But emotionally, he didn’t want to move at all.

He still wanted to wait for the girl to come find him.

Regardless of whether the girl was caught or not, he wanted to wait for her to come find him.

His health was poor, and after soaking in the cold water for a while, he couldn’t take it anymore.

Feeling like he was about to pass out, he hurriedly climbed out of the pond.

He was afraid that if he passed out in the pond, he would drown.

Lying by the pond, he couldn’t move at all.

Looking at the particularly bright stars in the sky, his last thought before passing out was whether the first person to find him would be the girl or the kidnappers.

He guessed wrong.

The first person to find him was neither the girl nor the kidnappers, but an elderly person who rose early for morning exercises near the pond.

After finding him, the elderly person immediately called the police.

The police had long received a report from the Li Family and had issued a nationwide alert.
