Chapter 322 Another shortcut
Mi Ke’er turned around and looked at Lacy with a disgruntled look, “Aren’t you going to get engaged to Mei?”
Lacy kissed Mi Ke’er on her face to please her, “I did it deliberately to make you angry. I never thought of marrying her.”
“But she saved you, and she kept emphasizing that she is your fiancée in front of me.” Mi Ke’er said in a tone of jealousy.
Lacy thought for a while and sat on the sofa with Mi Ke’er on his legs, “Mei did save me. I will repay her, but I will not sacrifice my marriage. You know, I love you, n.o.body but you.”
Mi Ke’er snuggled in Lacy’s arms with a sweet smile on her lips.
“Who is Mei? Why did she always want Xia Nuan’s whereabouts?” Mi Ke’er was curious.
Lacy sighed quietly when he heard this, “Mei has an older brother. She said that her older brother and Xia Nuan were friends. Her brother heard that Xia Nuan was dead, so he was unconscious and lying on the bed all the time. All I know is that Mei and her brother’s surname is Gu, and I haven’t seen her brother, not even once. She didn’t tell me.”
Hearing this, Mi Ke’er was lost in her thought.
But Lacy held Mi Ke’er’s hand, “I know that Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen are not dead, but I don’t want to mess up. They’ve already hidden themselves. I don’t want anyone to disturb them. It might be cruel for Mei’s brother.”
“Lacy, we have the same thought. In fact, Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan experienced so many ups and downs. It was really not easy for them. I don’t want them to be uneasy.” Mi Ke’er held Lacy’s hand.
They smiled at each other tacitly.
“Then that’s settled.” Lacy looked at Mi Ke’er.
Mi Ke’er nodded unconsciously.
“Lacy! You lied to me!” Suddenly, someone rushed out of Mi Ke’er’s bedroom.
It was Mei.
Lacy protected Mi Ke’er in his arms subconsciously, “Mei…”
It turned out that Mei took advantage of Mi Ke’er’s absence and tricked the landlord by saying that she was Mi Ke’er’s sister. Then, she opened Mi Ke’er’s door with the key.
She originally wanted to re-abduct Mi Ke’er back to give Lacy an explanation, but to her surprise, Lacy stayed with Mi Ke’er actually and they decided not to tell her about Xia Nuan’s whereabouts!
She was annoyed and clenched her fists, appearing in front of Mi Ke’er and Lacy.
“I think it’s better not to be involved in something… Mei.”
“You guys shut up!” Mei screamed, “You don’t even know how much my brother is suffering, and you will never feel it! Because you are selfish and never think of others! Do you know how my brother lived these years? He suffered every day!” Mei said, and sobbed.
Lacy saw that Mei had lost her mind. He got up and pulled Mi Ke’er behind him, “I’m sorry, Mei. I beg you not to reveal the news that Xia Nuan is alive to anyone. This is bad for you and me.”
“Don’t scare me anymore!” Mei sneered, “Lacy, I was wholeheartedly at you, but you betrayed me. What’s more, you know I am eager to find Xia Nuan, but you help her in concealing me. You really disappoint me!” Mei squeezed her hands and screamed sharply, “I will not let you go!”
Lacy and Mi Ke’er only discovered at this time that there was not only Mei alone in the bedroom, but also several tall and strong men, who were aggressively approaching him and Mi Ke’er and surrounding them.
Mei clapped her hands, “Tie them up!”
“Mei, you can’t do this!” Lacy was annoyed and hugged Mi Ke’er tightly, not allowing anyone to approach Mi Ke’er.
“Lacy, you’re sorry for me at first. Whatever I do is reasonable.” Mei gritted her teeth.
“You saved me, Mei. I am grateful, and I can give you whatever you want.” Lacy extorted Mei.
“Well, if you marry me, I will let her go.” Mei snorted when she saw Lacy’s hesitant expression, “I know, you certainly won’t agree, so what else can we say?”
She winked at these men. Several men stepped forward to kidnap Lacy and Mi Ke’er. Lacy held Mi Ke’er and fought hard to resist. Although Lacy was quick in movement, he still failed in front of several strong men. Soon, Lacy and Mi Ke’er were kidnapped.
“Mei, what are you doing? Please don’t hurt Mi Ke’er.” Lacy was worried about Mi Ke’er’s safety.
Mi Ke’er said to Mei, “How about you let us go, and we take you to Xia Nuan?”
“I won’t believe whatever you say. Because I know that once I let you go, you will find a way to escape.” Mei looked at Lacy, and a flash of unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She turned around and instructed the men, “You have to watch them carefully, and you can’t relax for a moment, understand?”
“Got it, Miss Gu.”
Those subordinates spoke in unison.
Mei finished, stepped on her high heels, and walked out of Mi Ke’er’s rental house arrogantly.
Lacy and Mi Ke’er were imprisoned in two different places. Lacy was afraid that these men would hurt Mi Ke’er, so he was unwilling to be separated from Mi Ke’er. The men saw that and punched on Lacy’s face. Lacy suddenly pa.s.sed out.
Mi Ke’er called for help urgently, and the men covered Mi Ke’er’s mouth with tape…
Late at night, Mei was drunk and went back to the mountain villa, which was called Warm Mountain Villa, bought by her brother for a lot of money.
Haha, warm?
In fact, there was always gloom and coldness, without a trace of temperature. Where was the warmth?
As if lost her soul, Mei walked into the villa.
“Miss, you are back.” The guard greeted and helped Mei, who was unsteady, “Miss, are you drunk? Watch out.”
“I’m not drunk. I can walk by myself.” Mei shook off the guard’s hand, stumbled across the garden and walked towards the living room.
Everywhere were pictures of a woman, and the walls were almost full.
Seeing this, Mei grabbed a teacup and slammed it at the photos.
“d.a.m.n Xia Nuan! You brought me bad luck!” Mei scolded while smashing.
“Miss, stop. If he knows, he will be sad.” A maid came over and tried to stop Mei.
“He shouldn’t be sad. These photos should have been thrown away!” Mei shouted, “I really don’t understand what he thinks. After being imprisoned for so many years, he just got a lot of photos! Haha, it’s ridiculous!” Mei finished talking and laughed on the sofa.
“Miss, Sir woke up and told you to come.” An elderly man stood upstairs and said to Mei.
Mei stopped laughing, looked at the man, and slowly stood up.
She quickened her pace and entered the bedroom on the second floor. The bedroom was dim, but she was still able to discern the direction. Under the dim light, she ran towards the big bed, fell to the ground on her knees, and held the man’s hand on the bed.
“Bro, you awake? How do you feel? Is it better?”
“Mei, did you find her?”
“Brother, rest a.s.sured, I will find her. She is not dead.” Mei said, “I have kidnapped her two friends.”
“Let them go. I just want to know she’s okay. We don’t have to screw up.” He held Mei’s hand tightly and advised Mei.
“No, it’s her who made you this. She’ll pay the price! I want her to kneel in front of you and admit mistakes. I want her to return everything you give!” Mei said more and more excitedly, and her hands touched the man’s cheek, crying sadly.
The man was silent for a moment, “Why?”
“Brother, you must hold on. I will bring her over. You’ll see!” Mei wiped tears from her face.
She sat silently beside the man, and tucked the quilt for him.
For a long time, the man suddenly said, “If you insist on this, you can take another shortcut.”
“What shortcut?” Mei asked.
“They are her best friends. It’s better to let out the news…” The man’s voice gradually lowered.
After Mei listened to him, her eyes lit up immediately, and nodded slowly.

In Country A. Ye Sichen and Nan Zhentian cooperated secretly, and n.o.body knew it. Nan Zhentian secretly collected Xiao Chi’s indictments and handed them over to Ye Sichen, including Xiao Chi winning over ma.s.ses by money, using money to do things during voting, etc. Ye Sichen collected these evidences secretly, in case for need.
Everything seemed to be in peace. However, Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan knew that this was just a sign of the storm.
Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen were preparing to transfer the three children to the island, because it was the safest place.
But the three children were reluctant to leave their parents, because there was no such place on the island. The island was surrounded by water. When you lived there, you always felt lonely. Because there was near the amus.e.m.e.nt park, Wuyou, Nianci, and Ansheng could contact with those children.
Xia Nuan discussed with Ye Sichen for staying here with their children.
Ye Sichen refused.
“The island is really not suitable for children to grow up, Ye. I don’t think there is any danger now. Because no one knows our true ident.i.ty, we can live here in peace. And I can help you out when you need it.” Xia Nuan tried to please Ye Sichen with a cup of tea.
Ye Sichen said seriously, “But the island is safe. Besides, I think you should be good with Mrs. Ni, Nuan.”
After Nan Zhentian showed him the video, Ye Sichen, as a son, had always felt upset, thinking that Mrs. Ni had been living in a hiding life for years.
