The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

Li Ruo raised her hand, held the bunch of keys up to her eyes, and looked past the keys to Fu Chenzhou's face.

Her eyes blinked brightly:

"I did this so that... you would pursue me."

The next second she turned around and rushed towards another place among the eight titanium alloy doors!

Fu Chenzhou's pupils suddenly contracted.

She even managed to find such a narrow and hidden place?

Didn't she just arrive at his collection room?

How could this be...?

That's the only ventilation duct leading to the basement!

Li Ruoqing's clear voice came from the direction of the narrow ventilation duct:

"You just said that if I don't leave within ten minutes, it will be considered that I have voluntarily become a collection."

"Then I'll state a rule too!"

"Mr. Fu, if you can catch me, I'll willingly become your collection."

"If not, you must willingly agree to one thing for me."

Fu Chenzhou stared in the direction from which the sound came, his gray eyes narrowing slightly.

An eerie silence fell over the entire underground storage room.

Only the artifacts in the display cases watched this confrontation with an eternal gaze.

What is Li Ruo doing?! She made a bet with Fu Chenzhou?!

[This is insane! This is suicidal!]

[Wait, she has the keys! Those are all of Fu Chenzhou's keys! Including the inner door keys!]

If she could escape through the inner gate without being caught...

But Fu Chenzhou will have his men block the only exit! She won't be able to get out at all!

Fu Chenzhou stared at the direction where Li Ruo's head was peeking out for three seconds.

A slight smile reappeared on that cold, hard face.

That smile carried a dangerous undertone of being offended, but also a peculiar expectation.

"it is good."

He spoke in a low voice, with the urge to hunt:

I accept.

"Let's begin."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a loud crash came from behind the metal door as the ventilation duct was kicked open.

Fu Chenzhou stood there, his bathrobe open, his gray eyes deep and unfathomable.

The curve of her lips grew wider and wider.

Then he ran at an extraordinary speed, this time even more vigorously, leaving a trail of afterimages!

Holy crap! Fu Chenzhou's speed!

Is he even human?!

Fu Chenzhou's desire to conquer was completely ignited!!!

[I forgot to mention, Fu Chenzhou's physique has undergone special modifications, making his speed and strength three times that of an ordinary person!]

【Li Ruo, you can't escape now!!!】

No, I think Fu Chenzhou is finished...

He's finished! He's finished! He's finished!!!

Li Ruo's pupils suddenly contracted.

She had known all along that Fu Chenzhou was no ordinary person, but this speed... completely exceeded her expectations!

Without hesitation, Li Ru kicked off her shoes that were in the way and turned to run!

She walked barefoot through the dark, narrow passage, her feet on cold, smooth rocks that could easily slip and fall.

But she ran fast and steadily, and her body seemed particularly light.

Children who grow up in slums run through all sorts of dangerous terrain from a young age, including dilapidated staircases, leaky roofs, and alleyways piled with clutter.

This level of difficulty is nothing to her.

The sound of Fu Chenzhou's footsteps came from behind.

It's not fast, but it's very stable.

It's like a cat chasing a mouse, not rushing to kill it, but enjoying the process of the chase.

Li Ruo turned a corner and two forks in the road appeared before her.

The left side leads to a more densely packed display area, the right side leads to...

She looked to her right.

Instead of running blindly, they sprinted towards the nearest inner gate with a clear goal in mind!

The keychain rattled in her hands as she ran, quickly identifying the key numbers.

Fu Chenzhou was in hot pursuit, moving at an astonishing speed.

ten meters.

eight meters.

five meters.

Li Ruo could feel the wind he created blowing up to the back of her neck!

Three meters!

Two meters!

Just as Fu Chenzhou's hand was about to touch her shoulder, Li Ruo suddenly rolled to the side!

Fu Chenzhou's hand brushed against her hair, but grasped at nothing.

Using the momentum of her roll, Li Ruo crashed directly into the keyhole of the inner door, inserting the key precisely.

Click!

The door opened!

She rolled inside and was about to slam the door shut!

But Fu Chenzhou's hand had already blocked the door crack!

The two looked at each other through the crack in the door.

Fu Chenzhou's grey eyes burned with the excitement of a hunt:

"Little fox, you run pretty fast."

Li Ruo was panting heavily, but her laughter was unrestrained:

"Mr. Fu, you can't catch me."

She suddenly raised her foot and kicked Fu Chenzhou's hand, which was stuck in the door crack!

Fu Chenzhou instinctively withdrew his hand.

In that very instant, the door slammed shut!

Click! Locked!

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!!]

[Li Ruo went inside! She locked Fu Chenzhou outside!]

What kind of incredible move is this?!

[Fu Chenzhou's expression, hahaha, this is the first time I've ever seen that expression on his face!]

Outside the door, Fu Chenzhou stared blankly at the tightly closed metal door for a second.

Then, a genuine smile of shock and admiration appeared on his face.

He has forgotten when he last laughed.

Twenty years ago?

Was it thirty years ago?

But tonight, he really couldn't remember how many times he laughed.

"Interesting... This is so interesting."

He murmured, his grey eyes shining with an astonishing light:

"In all these years, you're the first one... I've lost track of."

Inside the door, Li Ruo leaned against it, panting heavily.

My heart was pounding and my whole body was shaking.

But she laughed triumphantly, a wild and unrestrained laugh.

"Mr. Fu, I won again."

She said towards the direction of the door:

"There are seven more gates."

"Take your time chasing him."

The next twenty minutes were the most bizarre chase in the entire history of the Rose Manor.

Fu Chenzhou was fast, but Li Ruo was more cunning.

She grew up in a tenement building in a slum, and what she was most familiar with and best at was navigating this maze-like terrain freely.

Then, by taking advantage of the timing of each door opening and closing, and by exploiting the inertia of Fu Chenzhou's pursuit,

Time and again, just as he was about to grasp her, she slipped through his fingers.

The second door, she used the sliding track of a display case to slide to the other side the moment Fu Chenzhou pounced on her.

At the third door, she deliberately threw out two fake keys and rushed in the instant Fu Chenzhou was distracted.

She climbed through the fourth door into the ventilation duct and crawled out through another exit.

At the fifth door, she took advantage of Fu Chenzhou's mysophobia by deliberately knocking over a paint bucket and rushing through it the instant he dodged.

The sixth gate...

The seventh door...

Each door represents a thrilling and intense battle.

Behind each door, Fu Chenzhou's eyes grew even brighter.

When Li Ruo rushed through the eighth door, which was also the last exit to the ground, Fu Chenzhou's hand finally landed on her shoulder.

"Gotcha!"

His voice came from behind, tinged with a faint panting.

Li Ruo froze.

She turned around and saw Fu Chenzhou standing behind her, his gray eyes burning with a light he had never seen before.

He caught him.

According to the bet, she would become part of his collection.

But Li Ruo felt no fear.

She looked at Fu Chenzhou with a clean yet cunning smile, like a fox that had finally lured a tiger into a trap.

"Mr. Fu, are you sure... it was you who caught me?"

Fu Chenzhou raised an eyebrow.

Li Ruo slowly raised her hand.

In his hand was a small remote control.

"When I entered the seventh door just now, I pressed something on my whim."

She pointed to the ceiling:

"Guess what that is?"

Fu Chenzhou looked up.

A huge display case hangs above their heads from the ceiling; it contains the largest piece of art in his collection.

There is a small electronic lock on the chain of the fixed display case.

At this moment, the electronic lock is flashing a red light.

"Just press this!"

Li Ruo shook the remote control:

"This cabinet will fall down."

"With its weight, neither of us can escape."

"We'll all be smashed into mincemeat."

Fu Chenzhou's gray eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked at the remote control in Li Ruo's hand, then at her clear yet dangerous eyes.

silence.

A long silence.

Then, Fu Chenzhou smiled gently, revealing a faint, reserved smile.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, his tone neither warm nor cold:

"Then let's smash them all into mincemeat."

Fu Chenzhou's fingers slowly tightened around her shoulder blades, as if he were enjoying the final moments of control.

Li Ruo suddenly closed her eyes and pressed the button.

The next second, instead of the sound of something falling from above, the ground suddenly became suspended in mid-air.

Snapped!

Li Ruo fell from the access panel and landed heavily on the marble floor.

The excruciating pain of her dislocated shoulder made her tremble all over; blood was flowing from the wounds on her arms and calves, and sweat mixed with blood soaked through her white dress.
