A Critical Junction

He Xun was well aware that the residents of Osmanthus Village were targeting not only women in the car but also him and Chen Wei’er.

He Xun and Chen Wei’er were prominent. The residents of Osmanthus Village clearly knew that the couple wouldn’t let it go. Following He Xun and Chen Wei’er would guarantee that no one would be able to escape…

Chen Wei’er also understood the problem. She held He Xun’s hand and nodded at him.

“Ma Qiang, you guys stay here and protect them,” He Xun instructed quickly. “Wei’er and I will leave. The food in the RV is enough for everyone to eat for a week.”

“What about you and Madam?” Ma Qiang was anxious. “Let me follow you and Madam. If not, it will be dangerous for the two of you without help. Besides, you don’t have any food!”

“No need. I have a way.” He Xun scanned the time on the wall and did some calculations. He realized that the locals of Osmanthus Village should be able to catch up with them very soon.

“President He, there are two forks in the road ahead!” The driver shouted.

“Alright, stop the car!” At He Xun’s order, the two cars stopped.

He Xun pulled his wife and walked down. As he walked, he instructed Ma Qiang, “You guys protect them and pay attention to the signal at all times. Once there’s a signal, call the police immediately!”

As a bodyguard, the most important thing was to listen to his employer! No matter how worried Ma Qiang was, he could only listen to He Xun’s arrangements.

“I understand, President He!” Ma Qiang nodded his head heavily.

He Xun was walking very hurriedly, and Chen Wei’er had to run all the way to keep up with his pace. He walked to the car and opened the door to the driver’s seat. He said to the driver and the bodyguards inside, “You guys, head to the RV immediately!”

The few of them were stunned. They had no idea what had happened.

“There’s no time to explain. Just go!” He Xun roared.

The staff quickly got out of the car.

Chen Wei’er quickly sat and fastened her seat belt.

He Xun stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away. At the fork in the road, he chose the one on the left.

Everyone else went to the RV. The RV started again and drove to the right road.

Back on He Xun’s side, no one spoke. Only the sound of the engine could be heard.

He Xun took a deep breath and asked his wife, “Are you scared?”

“I’m not scared.” Chen Wei’er looked at He Xun with determination. As long as he was by her side, she was not afraid of anything. Her husband promised to protect her. He Xun wouldn’t put her in any danger! That was why she was not afraid!

Chen Wei’er even felt a little excited. “Hubby, why do I feel like we’re on the run?”

He Xun was surprised that Chen Wei’er could still joke at this time, and his mood inevitably improved.

“I think we are more like a couple who eloped for true love.”

At the mention of elopement, Chen Wei’er couldn’t help but stiffen momentarily. She thought of the dream she had…

In order not to remind He Xun of the unhappy past, Chen Wei’er smiled awkwardly and said, “Then, you have to treat me well!”

“Of course!” He Xun looked at her. His eyes were filled with tenderness.

Chen Wei’er was touched.

As He Xun drove, he found another fork in the road. He randomly picked one and drove in. After about ten minutes, he suddenly turned the steering wheel frantically and turned around.

Chen Wei’er was startled by his action and quickly followed him. However, it was pitch black and she couldn’t see anything clearly.

Her heart was beating wildly. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m afraid that they’ll chase after us through the tire tracks.” He Xun’s expression was grave.

Chen Wei’er gradually reigned in her emotions. She released a long sigh and got accustomed to the speed of the car.

He Xun had just sharply turned around, and the loud sound of friction made Chen Wei’er really think that the residents of Osmanthus Village had caught up.

He Xun and Chen Wei’er were alone now. If the other party really caught up…

On the other hand, the RV was also having trouble.

“Chief, what is the situation? Why didn’t President He let us follow?” The bodyguard, Xiao Wang, had been in the car a while ago. He had not heard the conversation in the RV. Naturally, he did not understand why He Xun’s actions. The few of them were still in a daze.

They had come to protect their employer, but the employer left them…

“There are cars in Osmanthus Village,” Ma Qiang clarified. “The road ahead is blocked, and we will soon be caught by the people of Osmanthus Village. In order to ensure our safety, President He suggested splitting up to reduce the enemy’s force.”

Ma Qiang sighed in his heart. ‘I didn’t expect that at a time like this, we can’t protect our employer. Instead, our employer has been considerate of us at a critical juncture.’

“There are still a few seats in the small car. Why didn’t President He allow us to accompany them? President He and Madam are alone…” Xiao Wang felt that he should follow President He and keep him safe at all times!
