The forest was the closest place to the villa, and it was also the easiest way to escape to the outside.
Jiang Li stood by the window and watched as Huo Ru disappeared into the forest. She casually found a pair of scissors in the room and drew a shallow blood mark on her neck. She screamed, "Someone, Miss has escaped!"
The Huo family was suddenly woken up by the commotion. The crowd came and went to search for Huo Ru, the small forest was almost trampled by them.
This was the closest path to leaving the Huo family's house. Huo Ru was the most likely to leave from here, but they searched everywhere and didn't find anything. No one could run so fast, let alone a weak woman in high heels.
It turned out that after Huo Ru entered the forest, she didn't move at all. She knew that no matter how much she ran, she wouldn't be able to outrun the car and the endless stream of young and strong bodyguards. She found a tree and climbed up, no one suspected that she was in the tree. No one even thought about the possibility that she might climb the tree.
Of course, Huo Ru knew how to climb a tree. She didn't even choose this tree for nothing. Ever since her mother passed away, she liked to climb into trees every time she was in a bad mood, as if she could get closer to her mother this way. Moreover, this tree was very tricky to climb, the bottom was wrapped tightly in a layer of branches and leaves while the upper layer became hollow. Unless one specially looked for it, it was difficult to find her.
"That's strange. Did the eldest daughter of the Huo family learn how to do the triathlon? We ran out the moment we heard Madam scream, but we couldn't find a single shadow. Strange!"
"Do you think… could it be that Madam…"
"I'm afraid you're stupid. If I were Madam, I wouldn't let Missy go even if I died. Besides, she is not her biological child. Why should Madam help Missy! You can't spout nonsense."
The two bodyguards leaned against the tree and chatted. Huo Ru huddled against the tree in an awkward position.
A drop of blood hit one of the bodyguards' hands. He smelled it curiously. "Why is there blood?"
Oh no! Huo Ru hurriedly covered the wound that had been cut open by the glass. The intense movement just now had intensified the scope of the glass's movement on her body, and the wound that had barely stopped the bleeding was torn open again.
The two bodyguards looked up in unison. Before they could take a closer look, they caught a glimpse of someone cursing and leaning over.
"What are you two doing here? Miss Huo Ru is missing and we haven't completed our mission. It's fine if you don't want to look for her, but are you trying to act all high and mighty? Or are you trying to tell me that Miss Huo Ru can fly?"
"No, boss. Look, there's a drop of blood on it!"
The leader also took a quick look and scolded, "Do you think there's anyone here? Hurry up and find someone!"
Everyone searched the forest for another hour. After making sure that every stone on the ground had been flipped over, they finally retreated from this place.
However, she did not dare to act rashly. She waited until night fell before quietly climbing down. There were people patrolling the forest in twos and threes, but they were all careless.
It had been so long, Miss Huo Ru could already reach another city by this time. How could she still stay in this lousy forest?
Huo Ru didn't have to spend much effort to break through the crowd blockade, but there was a new problem. Back then, this villa was mainly close to nature. Many of the forests on the mountain hadn't been modernized. Just now, she could still use the light from their flashlight, but now, she was really blind and couldn't see anything.
She could only stumble and rely on her senses to feel her way down. She had fallen countless times along the way, but she had not touched the glass foil on her body. There was no way to clean it up, pulling it out would only worsen her wound.
Finally, there was a faint light in front of her and the sound of a car driving past. Huo Ru was overjoyed, she must have reached the road to the villa area. She just had to find a passerby to ask for help. Even if she couldn't get a ride, she could call Yun Feng. He had already gotten off work and was probably scared to death.
She was right. After Yun Feng repeatedly confirmed that Huo Ru had returned to the Huo family, he was relieved. He thought that Huo Ru had gone home to talk to her father.
However, after not a single call went through at night, the situation completely changed. Yun Feng immediately asked Hao Ming to drive to the Huo family to pick her up, it was better to be exposed than to risk something happening to her.
Huo Ru stuck her head out and was about to get out when she realized that something was wrong with the car.
