The time of the city

Chapter 156 Escape from the Manor

It was late at night, and all around was silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind to be heard. Nan Feng quickly reached the dog hole and pushed aside the leaves. The hole was large, and except for the shoulder, which was difficult, he could easily squeeze through it with other parts of his body.

After leaving the manor, Nan Feng ran forward for more than ten minutes without looking back before stopping. This successful escape made him feel too unreal. Making sure no one was chasing him, Nan Feng opened Zhao Qiang's phone and called Yu Yao. The ringtone rang for a few seconds and was quickly picked up.

While waiting for Yu Yao to pick him up, Nan Feng opened Zhao Qiang's mobile phone again to check it. He contacted Wu Kang most frequently. Wu Kang urged Zhao Qiang almost every day to keep a good eye on him and not let him escape, and even threatened him with Zhao Qiang's wife and daughter.

"Grandpa, what are you planning? Can you let me go?" Nan Feng's eyes were red, and his pupils were full of broken light. He had lived a very tiring life these years.

More than ten minutes later, a car stopped in front of Nan Feng. Nan Feng raised his head and saw Yu Yao getting out of the car.

"Ayao, you helped me again."

"Hurry up and get in the car and leave here first, there's no guarantee they won't catch up."

Before getting in the car, Nan Feng threw Zhao Qiang's mobile phone into the trash can beside him. This phone was very likely to have a location, so he didn't dare to take the risk.

Yu Yao, with his hands on the steering wheel, looked at Nan Feng, who was leaning on the passenger seat with a tired face. "Fortunately, you told me the address before you came, otherwise I would not have come here."

Nan Feng's eyes were dim, with a hint of self-mockery in them, and a bitter smile that did not reach the bottom of his eyes. "Because I know him too well. By the way, A Yao, has my grandfather made any moves?"

"I was just about to tell you that Wu Kang has built a lot of factories in the suburbs of City A and hired a lot of people. I don't know what he's doing, but it seems like he's in a hurry."

After hearing Yu Yao's words, Nan Feng froze for a moment, a hypothesis forming in his mind. Some time ago, Qiao Zhengrong had asked him about his thoughts on the new energy project being jointly developed by the Ni and Lin companies, and now he was imprisoned abroad. He had always known Qiao Zhengrong's ambitions. If the suburban factory was truly developing new energy equipment, and in such a short time, then his grandfather must have been using some shady tactics.

In order to verify his idea, he had to return to China immediately. "Ayao booked a plane ticket for me. I want to go back to China. I know what he is going to do."

.....

Lin Yuan's forehead was covered in sweat. Time ticked by, and he still hadn't figured out the formula for the nerve-numbing drug. Lin Tianxiong had destroyed nearly all of the drugs and the formula before his death. Now, he could only rely on his memories and decades of accumulated medical knowledge to develop a new drug.

"Dean, time is running out. Director Qiao wants you to hurry up."

Lin Yuan looked up at the surveillance video playing on the big screen. In the pristine white ward, Lin Xiao lay quietly on the bed, weak and pale, no longer as lively as before. Lin Yuan's hand holding the beaker felt incredibly heavy. He longed to hold Lin Xiao's hand, to hear her call him "Dad." But even this small wish was unfulfilled. His eyes were filled with pain and helplessness.

"I hope you won't blame Daddy when you wake up."

The first rays of sunlight penetrated the thin cloud layer, and Nan Feng arrived safely in City A. He immediately put on his cap and mask after leaving the airport. He figured Qiao Zhengrong must have heard about his escape and was searching the city for him.

On the plane, he and Yu Yao agreed that he would go to the factory in the suburbs to check, and Yu Yao would be responsible for investigating Wu Kang's recent actions.

Arriving at the factory, Nan Feng noticed many security guards patrolling the area. The walls were so high that he couldn't see what the people inside were doing. Pulling his hat down low, he walked over to one of the security guards and whispered, "Can I go in and look for someone? My brother's in there."

The security guard wanted to see Nan Feng's face clearly, but found that most of his face was hidden in the shadows, with only a pair of deep eyes showing, and his whole body exuded a mysterious aura.

"You can't just go in, go away." The security guard looked impatient.

Nan Feng took out a stack of banknotes and quietly put it into the security guard's hand. "Brother, please be flexible. I'll go in and look for it and be right back."

The security guard seemed a little moved, his eyes turned and he said, "What's your brother's name? I'll call it out for you. We are very strict here. If I let you in and you are discovered, I will be in trouble."

"It's so strict, what do you do?" A sense of uneasiness came over me.

"I'll tell you in secret," the security guard put the money into his pocket and lowered his voice, "These factories are all owned by the Qiao family, the Qiao family among the four major families, you know them. The people inside are all making new energy equipment, and they have signed confidentiality agreements." Seeing that Nan Feng didn't say anything, the security guard said to himself, "Don't tell anyone nonsense, our batch of equipment has not been released yet."

Nan Feng nodded, his heart sank, and he left the factory in a daze. At the same time, Yu Yao sent him a message, telling him that Wu Kang had contacted a woman named Song Fei several times recently, and that further investigation was needed.

Nan Feng searched his memory for Song Fei and remembered that Mo Yu had told him she was his best friend. Realizing that things were not going well, he decided to go find Mo Yu.

He wanted to tell Mo Yu that Qiao Zhengrong might have stolen Ni's secrets, and asked her to be wary of Song Fei. He would never let Mo Yu come to any harm, even if it meant risking everything for her and everything in the Qiao family.

Spring seems to have arrived later in City A than in other cities. The air is still chilly. Mo Yu, wearing a pink woolen coat, emerges from school. She hides her face in her scarf, revealing only a pair of bright almond-shaped eyes.

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed through the street. Mo Yu instinctively looked up. The damp wind lifted her inky black hair. She stood there, her brows cold and her long eyelashes fluttering rhythmically with her eyelids. Her beauty was breathtaking in the dim light. Across the street, her eyes met Nan Feng's.

He looked at her, a smile on his lips, his eyes seemed to be shining with stars, deeper than usual. "Xiaoyu, long time no see"
