After much hardship, Wenqing finally managed to find the back door of the villa.
Then I saw a fingerprint lock.
She stared at the fingerprint lock for several seconds, mentally cursing Lin Zhiyan's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Fortunately, the system spoke up in time to say it could solve the problem, which brought me a surge of joy, and I couldn't help but marvel at the system's omnipotence.
She was able to escape from her room all the way here thanks to the system. The surveillance cameras in the corridor and stairwell were temporarily blocked by the system, and the system would give her advance warnings when patrolling people passed by, allowing her to hide. Even the internal access control systems that required identity verification were all cracked by the system.
Without the system, she wouldn't have been able to leave that room empty-handed.
As she was studying how long it would take to crack the system by looking at the back door, the fingerprint lock suddenly flashed twice, and then the door opened.
She breathed in the air that drifted in from outside, feeling a sense of liberation.
However, she was able to escape so easily because Lin Zhiyan wasn't there today.
He came to her room in a suit that morning, stood there for a while without doing anything, just staring at her, making her feel very uncomfortable. Then he said a few ambiguous words, took a phone call, and left. She guessed that he was probably going out to deal with something, and that it would take him all day.
At first, she didn't understand why he would leave her alone in the villa, but she later figured it out.
The villa is equipped with surveillance cameras and fingerprint locks inside and out, so he doesn't need anyone to watch over her at all.
He must have been certain that even if she broke free of the chains, she wouldn't be able to escape this villa.
The door opened a crack, and a cool breeze blew in from outside, carrying the scent of leaves and earth.
Wen Qing snapped out of her thoughts and slipped away to the side.
Behind the villa is a dense forest.
As dusk settled, the woods grew dark and somewhat eerie, the tall treetops rustling in the wind as if something were whispering in the shadows.
She took a deep breath, wrapped her coat tighter around herself, and hurried along the path toward the main entrance.
The system kept reminding her where people were and where there were surveillance cameras. She moved silently, like a small animal traversing the forest.
A few minutes later she finally made her way to the front of the villa.
Compared to the back gate, this place finally has some human touch, with asphalt roads and upright streetlights. Although there is no one on the road, at least there are traces of civilization.
As she was about to pass through the main gate, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a person lying on the ground not far away.
The man's posture was extremely unnatural, and the dark, messy mass beneath him gleamed with a dark red light under the streetlights.
Upon seeing this, Wenqing froze in her tracks, her heart pounding wildly.
She then mustered her courage and walked over, finally seeing the face of the person lying on the ground.
It turned out to be Gu Qin.
He was lying on the ground with a gash in his left chest, from which blood gushed, soaking his coat and the ground beneath him.
His eyes were closed, his lips were deathly pale, and his breathing was so shallow it was almost imperceptible.
"How could this happen..."
Wenqing gasped in surprise and quickly knelt down to check his breathing.
Fortunately, he was still breathing, but very weakly.
"System, is there any hope for him?"
Wenqing quickly asked the system.
"There's still hope. The wound is actually off-center from his heart, so the assailant probably didn't know his heart wasn't on the left side. However, if he continues to lose blood like this, he won't last much longer..."
The system's voice carried a rare hint of urgency.
Warmth tightened in my heart.
She sensed a hidden meaning in the system's words and pressed for details about what would happen if Gu Qin died.
The system paused for a moment, then said, "Gu Qin is one of the key figures in this world. If he dies, it may have an impact on this world."
"What impact?" Wen Qing's voice was a little tense.
"I don't know," the system paused, seemingly weighing something, "Based on the data sample, his death may have an impact on the world structure, but the specific consequences are unpredictable."
Looking at Gu Qin's increasingly pale face, Wen Qing frowned and said, "Then how should I save him? Calling an ambulance is definitely too late. This place is so remote, by the time the ambulance arrives, he will have bled to death."
The system was silent for a moment, then said, "There is a medicine in the store that can accelerate wound healing, but it is very expensive and requires a lot of favor points. Judging from the host's current balance, exchanging for it will almost wipe out all your remaining savings."
Wen Qing looked down at Gu Qin's increasingly pale face, then glanced at the so-called "emergency medicine" in the system store.
The price is indeed outrageously expensive, almost depleting all her remaining affection points.
She hesitated for a moment.
She has accumulated over a hundred points of affection, and her health has recovered, but she hasn't told her brother yet.
However, despite this, the amount of affection points accumulated is not yet enough to cope with future variables.
And for some reason, the frequency of comments has decreased significantly recently, and she hasn't received any new likes for a long time.
She needs to keep saving.
But seeing Gu Qin's dying state, remembering that he had helped her twice before, and thinking about how the system said his death would cause uncontrollable consequences, she gritted her teeth and made the switch.
The medicine was poured into Gu Qin's mouth, and a miraculous scene unfolded.
The wound on Gu Qin's chest, which was still bleeding, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The rolled-up skin closed up again, and the bleeding slowly stopped.
Although his face was still pale, his breathing was noticeably more steady.
Seeing this, Wen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch his forehead, which was no longer as cold as before.
After confirming that he was not in immediate danger, she stood up, dusted off her knees, and turned to leave.
She couldn't stay here any longer; who knew if the people in the villa would discover she had run away?
As for why Gu Qin was lying there in such a dying state, she didn't have time to find out for the time being.
Similarly, she couldn't control what happened next; she could only wait for someone else to find him.
So Wen Qing took one last look at the unconscious Gu Qin and then turned and left without looking back.
She walked quickly forward, her heart still pounding.
This road is very remote, with a narrow lane and tall, dense trees on both sides, and there are almost no pedestrians.
The system whispered in her ear that she should turn left at the next intersection and walk a little further before seeing the main road.
It was quiet all around, with only the sound of her footsteps and the rustling of the wind through the treetops.
After walking for about ten minutes, she turned a corner, but a car suddenly came towards her.
The car lights were blindingly bright, and she instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes, freezing in place.
When she lowered her hand and saw the car clearly, a familiar voice, one that sent chills down her spine, rang out: "Wen Qing, what are you doing here?"
The rear window of the car slowly rolled down, and Lin Zhiyan's face appeared before her.
He wore glasses and looked refined and gentle; the car's overhead light cast a soft shadow on his face.
But his gaze was not gentle; it held a depth and scrutiny she had never seen in him before.
