Shang Yueming's movements were quite fast, he changed his clothes and came out, flipped neatly out of the balcony, grabbed the railing with one hand, and picked up Qiao Mai's waist with the other.

"Aww!" Qiao Mai was so strangled that he couldn't breathe well, and was carried on his shoulder by Shang Yueming like a sack.The night wind blew past, and she only felt a strong sense of weightlessness, which made her panic.

Seeing that Shang Yueming was about to turn back into the room again, Qiao Mai hurriedly hugged his waist: "I don't want to go back into the room, you take me downstairs."

"No, you can't leave until the boss comes back."

"I'm not going. I just don't want to be locked up again. At worst, you can watch me yourself." Qiao Mai said, analyzing with reason and evidence, "I tell you, private confinement is against the law, and Nie Yuan can never be locked up. My whole life. If you don't take me away now, I will definitely tell about this matter in the future. Anyway, I don't have much reputation on the Internet now, at worst, I will share the blessings and difficulties with Nie Yuan."

Shang Yueming looked at her long hair tousled by the wind, and her eyes as bright as stars.

Knowing that Nie Yuan doesn't care about fame, he still convinced himself to accept Qiao Mai's words.

He nodded and said, "Okay, then bear with me, I'll be on the ground in a few steps."

He did what he said, every time he jumped, he could hook his feet and land on the balcony railing on the next floor. Qiao Mai survived the thrilling moment without any danger, until his hands and feet were still a little weak when he landed.

Shang Yueming held her arm: "Are you ready? Let me go when you're done."

Qiao Mai let go of his hand, and patted the sweater on his body in embarrassment.Shang Yueming was wearing Nie Yuan's loose home clothes, the two of them were about the same size, and they fit just right, as if Shang Yueming also lived here.

He put his hands in his pockets casually, and said to Qiao Mai: "Let's go, let Aunt Liu open another room for you to come out."

Qiao Mai dawdled, observing the terrain, looking for a way to escape.

"Mr. Shang, Nie Yuan is not in Ningnan City right now? I heard that Chang Huiyu will hold a coming-of-age banquet in Beidu City tonight. Given how much Nie Yuan attaches importance to her recently, he will definitely attend with her. After tonight, Qiao Mian and the others will definitely find that they can't contact me, and Red Maple Manor won't be able to lock me up at that time, do you think Nie Yuan came back first, or Qiao Mian came first?"

Shang Yueming stopped and looked back at her: "What do you mean?"

Qiao Mai blinked slyly: "Think about it, if you want Qiao Mian to find me, you should move me to a place where they can't get to them."

Shang Yueming didn't speak, and stood face to face with her, continuing to look at her expressionlessly.

Qiao Mai thought to himself, isn't what I said reasonable enough?

"Here, Mr. Shang, what do you think?"

Shang Yueming was unmoved: "Ms. Qiao, do you know how many guards there are in the Red Maple Manor? Qiao Mian, Joey, Qiao Jia... We know exactly where they are."

To his surprise, Qiao Mai was not depressed, her eyes were shining with determination: "You can take care of the Red Maple Manor and our Qiao family, but don't forget, Qiao Mian is now with Ling Ye together."

Her words precisely hit Shang Yueming's most worrying place.

That's right, Nie Yuan can cover the sky with one hand in Ningnan City and is not afraid of Ling Ye, but the latter is the royal family of a country after all, if they really want to make trouble, it will cause them a lot of trouble.He specially went to Lingnan Forest that day, which shows that he has a lot of interest in Qiao Mai.

Qiao Mai approached her, covered his lips with his hands, and said quietly, "You should know that I signed a contract with the Fifth Research Institute, right?"

Shang Yueming's expression changed.

He could already feel that he had stepped into Qiao Mai's trap step by step, but what she said was impeccable.For a moment, Shang Yueming felt that he was so close to her that it was difficult for him to breathe.

"You want to be free?"

"Yes."

Shang Yueming bent down to pick up the clothes he dropped just now: "Okay, I'll take you to the fifth research institute, but I will inform the boss, you can't escape."

Qiao Mai happily reached out to give him a high five: "Deal!"

When Shang Yueming was about to drive Qiao Mai away, Xiang Peiwen stood in front of the Porsche and saw him off worriedly: "Old Shang, you have to think it over."

"It's okay, I'll call Boss when I leave the manor." He waved at Pei Wen, and drove Qiao Mai out of the gate.

As soon as he reached the boundary with a signal, Shang Yueming immediately connected to the Bluetooth dial.

There were regular beeps on the other end of the phone, and Porsche drove for a long time, but still no one answered.

Qiao Mai thought to himself, Nie Yuan is enjoying himself in the gentle village, who has the leisure to answer your phone call?
Shang Yueming turned out to be a dead-headed person. If Nie Yuan didn't answer, he kept calling.From the beginning of ridicule, Qiao Mai was full of sympathy: "Mr. Shang, you and Nie Yuan are very similar to the ancient faint kings and loyal ministers."

"Are you still in the mood to make sarcastic remarks?" While waiting for the red light, Shang Yueming rubbed the center of his brows, "I really want to know what your heart is made of."

"What is it made of? Can my heart still be made of steel?"

Perhaps it was because the deserted streets were too easy to engender the fragility of the heart, and the two people sitting in the car loosened their solid shells at this moment.

Qiao Mai quickly adjusted his mood, and changed into a teasing tone: "Mr. Shang, I have to call you Master anyway. You taught me so many sniper skills, I shouldn't laugh at you."

She thought about it one after another, and her mood changed faster than the weather. Shang Yueming, who was always vigorous and unsmiling, couldn't help showing a helpless smile.

The base of the Fifth Research Institute in Ningnan City is located on the outskirts of the city, not far from the Red Maple Manor, and the Porsche drove up to the door in a short while.

The guard on duty saw someone coming so late, and raised several rifles in the dark: "Who?!"

"I'm Shang Yueming, and I'm sending Dr. Qiao Mai to the research institute."

The level of secrets that the sentry knew was not high, but they could recognize the documents in Qiao Mai's hands. After calling and checking layer by layer, the two were put into the research institute.

It was already early morning, and it was too late for the senior management of the research institute to welcome Qiao Mai, so they quickly arranged a room for her and Shang Yueming to stay.Qiao Maili asked them for a mobile phone confidently, and the feeling of reconnecting to the Internet was wonderful.

When he opened the door, Qiao Mai saw him standing still, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, and asked, "You won't... want to watch me outside the door, right?"

"Ah."

Qiao Mai raised his forehead: "Please, this is the Fifth Research Institute, a place under the Ministry of Security. I have to go through layers of body searches every time I go out. How can it be so easy to escape? What are you going to do?"

Shang Yueming looked at her deeply: "If you have the Internet, it's like swimming in the sea. I can't worry about it."

"Thank you for your compliment." Qiao Mai quickly ran into the door and called Joey on his mobile phone.She was afraid of Ling Ye, so it was inconvenient to contact Qiao Mian for the time being.

But the strange thing is that Joey didn't answer the call, and even Qiaojia and Job didn't hear from him.

Qiao Mai became anxious and opened the door again.

Shang Yueming stood tall and straight in front of the door like a statue: "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Shang, I can't get through to Joey and the others. Did you send someone to do anything to them?"

"You wait for me to ask." Shang Yueming walked to the end of the corridor with his mobile phone, and called the person in charge of tracking the Qiao brothers.

The sound insulation effect of the mobile phone is too good, Qiao Mai circled around him, but didn't hear a word, only Shang Yueming's face became more and more tense.

She finally endured until the man hung up the phone: "Mr. Shang, how are you doing?"

"Ms. Qiao, I have some bad news for you, don't worry."

For Shang Yueming to say comforting words, Qiao Mai's heart was tightened.

"Okay, tell me, I'm trying to stay calm."

"Actually, Joey and Qiaojia went to look for you tonight, but there were too many guards and they were not allowed in. Joey probably had a hunch and told Qiaojia that you would definitely find a way to get them out first. act rashly."

Qiao Mai asked in confusion, "Is this bad news?"

Shang Yueming went on to say: "After they returned to Chunlin Street, according to the people watching, the lights in the villa were all extinguished, and no one came out. But in the blink of an eye, there were sudden footsteps in the villa. Immediately afterwards Joey and Joja ran out and started looking for something on the street."

"A clansman with top climbing ability sneaked into the villa and found..."

Qiao Mai grabbed his cuff anxiously: "What did you find?"

"I found that only Joss was sleeping soundly at home, and Nie Xin and Nie Chongzhi were gone."

Qiao Mai Ruanruan leaned against the wall: "You mean, they are missing."

She thought of the scene when the Four Treasures and Five Treasures were lost. At that time, she was just like this moment, lost in spirits, her limbs were numb, as if a hole had been broken in her heart.

It's so strange, obviously Nie Xin and Nie Chongzhi should have no blood relationship with her.

Shang Yueming saw her walking towards the stairs, followed him and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

"Well, how can I sleep like this now? First go find a computer, and I'll connect to the Sky Eye system to see if there are any clues in the monitoring."

With a muffled sound, Qiao Mai's eyes instantly lost focus.At the last second before losing consciousness, what she saw were Shang Yueming's hazel eyes that seemed to contain a whole forest.

"Look at your own face, do you still want to go on?"

When Qiao Mai woke up again, Shang Yueming was no longer in the research institute, and several researchers warmly invited her to the lab to discuss work.

"It's really unfortunate, I have something important here..."

"Dr. Qiao, don't worry." A researcher handed her a note, "Boss Shang asked us to give this to you. He said that he will help you solve your worries, so you can stay here with peace of mind."

A simple sentence was written on the note: [The kitten is in the manor, find it and bring it to you. 】

The same is true of Qiao Mai's speculation. Nie Xin is still a child at heart. Although Nie Chongzhi is more mature than him, he has never experienced anything in the world. The two of them ran away from home. The most likely thing is to go straight to the Red Maple Manor, intending to rescue her.

Qiao Mai was distracted, the researcher patted her hand and reminded, "Dr. Qiao, your phone is ringing."

This is the phone card provided to her by the research institute. Apart from the leaders and the Qiao family brothers she contacted yesterday, no one should know the number.

However, even if there is no caller ID for this string of 11 digits, Qiao Mai still remembers who it belongs to.

"It's a harassing call." Qiao Mai hung up decisively and added the number to the blacklist.
