Chapter 148 Exposed

Upon hearing Feng Nan's question, Qianqian wiped away her tears.

With a sorrowful expression, she said, "Five years ago, my mother passed away suddenly without saying much."

"My mother said that among those who escaped together, there was a traitor."

"Several uncles and aunts were taken back by the lab staff because of his betrayal."

"And that person also knew that Mom was hiding here."

"To avoid implicating me, my mother sent that person a message saying she was heading south, and then left in a hurry."

At this point, Qianqian choked up again.

Feng Nan lowered her eyes, a hint of sadness flashing in them.

He pulled Qianqian into his arms again and gently patted her back.

Did Auntie say who the traitor was?

Feng Nan asked softly.

Qianqian shook her head: "Mom didn't say."

"After Mom left, those people from the lab came."

"They've been monitoring me all this time."

"Fortunately, my mother told me to keep pretending to be stupid before she left, and I was careful so that I didn't expose myself."

Hearing Qianqian's words, Feng Nan nodded and gently comforted her, "Qianqian, you've suffered so much these past years."

Feng Nan waited for a while and saw that Qianqian had cried herself to sleep.

Feng Nan then said, "Pack up, we'll leave now."

It wasn't that Feng Nan was heartless, but that she didn't give Qianqian time to vent her emotions.

Tamura was truly fraught with danger. In this small village of just over a hundred households, who knew how many people from laboratories were hiding?

If they stayed any longer, Feng Nan was afraid that both she and Qianqian would be exposed.

Given the uncertainty of friend from foe and the inevitable disparity in numbers and weaponry, both she and Qianqian would be in danger if exposed.

Feng Nan didn't want to risk fighting the people in the lab under these circumstances.

"it is good!"

Fortunately, Qianqian is someone who knows what's important and what's urgent, and she didn't lose her rationality because of her sadness.

After Feng Nan suggested leaving, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Qianqian broke free from Feng Nan's embrace and walked to the earthen kang (a heated brick bed), the most common type of kang in the old rural houses of northern China.

He lifted the kang mat, pushed aside a movable kang board, and took out a hiking backpack.

"There's not much to pack, I'll just take this with me."

“There are things my mother left behind here. Before she left, she said that you would come to find me sooner or later.”

"The things in here will be helpful in dealing with the lab's pursuit in the future."

Qianqian patted the dust off her backpack and said to Feng Nan.

"What's in it?"

Feng Nan asked curiously.

"I don't know, I've never had the chance to open it."

"Because I'm afraid the people in the lab will see me."

Qianqian replied helplessly.

"Let's watch it together after we leave here."

Feng Nan took Qianqian's hand and walked towards the door.

Just as she was about to step out of the room, Qianqian suddenly grabbed Feng Nan again.

Feng Nan looked at Qianqian with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

"Did you forget something?"

Qianqian shook her head: "No!"

"It was because I suddenly remembered something my mother said."

“Mom said that if I go with you, we will be relentlessly hunted down by the laboratory from the day we are discovered.”

"So before I go with you, I need to make sure you are ready."

"If not, I can stay and pretend to be stupid; I'm used to it anyway."

Qianqian's resolute expression made Feng Nan feel sorry for her.

"Do not worry."

"Before I came to find you, I was already at odds with the lab."

"We've clashed countless times during this period."

"I found out you were here by getting information from an assassin sent from the lab." "It's just a pity that before I could get any more information about what happened back then, the assassin was silenced."

To reassure Qianqian and persuade her to go with him, Feng Nan briefly explained that Qianqian and the laboratory had long been enemies.

Hearing Feng Nan say that, Qianqian felt relieved.

Happily, she followed Feng Nan into the courtyard.

"Little girl, where do you want to go?"

"You've been acting really well these past few years!"

"If I hadn't suddenly decided to come and take a look, I would have almost been fooled by you."

Just as Feng Nan and Qianqian were about to climb over the wall to leave, a sinister voice suddenly entered their ears.

Feng Nan and Qianqian stopped moving at the same time, and both of them showed a look of horror on their faces.

Clang——

Feng Nan immediately drew the short knife from his waist and slashed in the direction from which the sound came.

On the roof of Qianqian's house, an old man, about fifty or sixty years old with dark skin, was standing there.

The old man's triangular eyes gleamed with a sinister light.

He looked sleazy and ruthless.

"who are you?"

Feng Nan braced herself against the wall with one hand and used the momentum to jump onto the roof.

He held the dagger horizontally in front of his chest, watching the old man who had suddenly appeared warily.

"Nan Nan, be careful, he's from the lab."

Qianqian reminded her urgently.

Upon hearing Qianqian's reminder, a cold glint flashed in Feng Nan's eyes.

They had already decided to kill the old man.

At such an advanced age, to still act as an accomplice to such evil forces as the laboratory, what kind of good person could he be?

Now that they've run into each other, and it's clear the other party doesn't intend to let her and Qianqian leave home.

It would be impolite for Feng Nan not to kill him.

We have let down the good intentions of those who came to offer themselves up for death.

"Qianqian, you go first."

"I'll handle this old man."

"Just run towards the village entrance, our support will be here soon."

While keeping a wary eye on the old man, Feng Nan spoke to Qianqian.

Just before leaving the house, Feng Nan received a text message from Yue Yang.

Li Biao brought her supporters, and they would arrive near Tiancun in five minutes.

With Li Biao's support, Feng Nan is no longer afraid of being exposed.

Even if they are exposed, as long as she and Qianqian can hold out for five minutes, they will be able to get reinforcements.

Even the most ruthless killer in a laboratory can't be unafraid of the police.
If they're not afraid of the police, how could they not be afraid of the "equalizer" in the hands of Li Biao and his gang?
"But you-"

Upon hearing Feng Nan's words, Qianqian showed a hesitant expression.

"Go quickly, I can handle it."

"You can't help even if you're here, and I'll have to focus on protecting you."

Feng Nan hates teammates who are overly indecisive and hesitant at crucial moments.

So he shouted loudly.

"All right--"

Hearing Feng Nan's call, Qianqian bit her lip and reluctantly agreed.

However, it's clear that Qianqian still has some things she wants to say.

Seeing that Feng Nan's attitude was firm and she seemed a little angry, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Want to go?"

"Do I agree?"

The old man gave a sinister smile and leaped towards Qianqian.

Feng Nan reacted immediately, swinging his knife at the old man.

At the same time, he shouted to Qianqian, "Run!"

Seeing Feng Nan and the old man fighting, Qianqian hesitated for a moment.

He chose to obey Feng Nan's orders and jumped off the wall.

They ran towards the village entrance.
