"But, Great-Grandfather, if you are that confident, why are you afraid to play chess with Grandpa Zhang? So, it can only be said that Great-Grandfather is lying!"
"Yes, yes, Brother is right! Great-Grandfather lied!" No matter what Brother Mu said today, Ruo Ruo was set to agree.
Even if Brother Mu's father was blown up, she would still say, "Yes, yes, he was blown up!"
"I never lie! I have never lied in my life! Let's go!" Seeing that his great-grandson actually didn't believe him, the angry Grandfather stood up and said, "Let's go right now and play a few games with Master Zhang to see who is better. Just wait, I will take that old man down in one move!"
One move to victory, easily taken down!
Brother Mu laughed.
The Ye Family members were all so easy to manipulate! They were all played in the palm of his hand!
Today's plan should also go smoothly!
Now Grandpa Ye was leading his great-grandson towards Master Zhang's house, while behind them, the little follower Ruo Ruo kept shouting, "Brother, wait for me, wait for me! I want to go too!"
Lan Baobao quietly watched all of this from the side, feeling a surge of emotions.
The first step of the plan had been successfully completed, and during breakfast this morning, Mu Mu had quietly changed the Ye Family's surveillance system and slipped out to the back yard's back door, opening it to make ample preparations for Lan Baobao's departure.
To avoid attracting the attention of the housemaids, Lan Baobao continued to move around the house as usual and didn't prepare anything except for taking that one ** and necessary documents along with some cash; she hadn't packed a single piece of clothing.
A large bag was enough to hold everything.
Lan Baobao felt that this time she was truly traveling light.
About half an hour later, Lan Baobao's phone suddenly lit up; it was a message from Mu Jiangfeng. Lan Baobao nervously opened the message and saw it contained only a few words:
Already arrived at the backyard, hurry up.
It felt as if Lan Baobao had done something terribly wrong, and her heart raced to her throat. However, she pretended to be nonchalant while feeling quite anxious as she slipped into the bathroom.
The bathroom window was indeed not large enough, just barely enough to fit Lan Baobao's body. However, the window was positioned a bit high, making it quite a challenge to squeeze through.
When Grandpa Ye went out, as per usual, a portion of the servants and guards from the Ye Family followed him.
On one hand, this arrangement looked good and wouldn't bring shame; it presented a nice facade.
On the other hand, it was because Grandpa Ye's health had been fluctuating over the years. No one knew if he would pass away at any moment.
Ye Zixun had replaced several of the household servants with medical staff who were responsible for Grandpa Ye's daily care aside from simple chores.
Those bodyguards were also there because they feared that if Grandpa Ye needed assistance outside, the servants might not be able to help.
In this regard, Ye Zixun could be considered a dutiful grandson.
One-third of the people monitoring her at home had left.
The remaining individuals had already relaxed their vigilance, significantly increasing the chances of sneaking out of the house.
Lan Baobao stood on the edge of the bathtub and leaned halfway out of the window. Sure enough, she saw Mu Jiangfeng, dressed in all black sportswear, looking up in her direction.
When he spotted Lan Baobao's head peeking out from the window, their eyes met and they exchanged smiles. This thrilling adventure truly sent shivers down their spines.
But it was quite thrilling and a bit fun!
"Come down, I'll catch you."
In order to be able to move around, Mu Jiangfeng had specially worn sportswear today. However, after such a long time, seeing Lan Baobao again made his heart more excited than he had imagined.
She seemed to have gained a little weight.
For girls, having a bit of meat is better! If they are too thin, they can easily feel cold, often get sick, and their complexion won't be good.
A figure like Lan Baobao's is just right!
Although Lan Baobao usually acts with a strong sense of justice and has the demeanor of a heroine, in reality, she is not that agile.
Climbing through a window took her quite some effort, leaving Mu Jiangfeng waiting outside in a cold sweat.
After nearly half an hour of hard work, Lan Baobao finally managed to climb up to the window, curling up in front of it and looking quite pitiful.
The window didn't seem very high, but sitting here looking down was truly terrifying!
Jumping down... would she break her leg?
If Brother Mu were here right now, he would definitely look down on her harshly!
"Lan Baobao, don't worry, jump down! I'll catch you; you won't fall!"
Mu Jiangfeng was sweating profusely. He knew that in situations like this, time is life.
If some bored servant happened to wander into the backyard and witness this scene, it would be impossible for them to clear their name.
Although Mu Jiangfeng was not a kind person either, it didn't matter if he couldn't clear his name; it would be best to take the opportunity to get Lan Baobao back. However, the key issue now was not to snatch Lan Baobao away but to first get her out of this place.
At that moment, Mu Jiangfeng realized that he had truly overestimated Lan Baobao's ability to act.
He saw her crouched by the window like an injured Teddy, kneeling on the ground and trembling all over, making her look quite pitiful.
"Baby, come down! I’m here; I won’t let you get hurt! You can trust me!"
Trust?
What if she fell and broke her leg? It wasn't something Mu Jiangfeng could just return!
"Mu Jiangfeng, this is so high! I’m too scared to jump down!" After a while, Lan Baobao furrowed her brows in distress and said pitifully.
Mu Jiangfeng twitched his brows; Lan Baobao's courage was really diminishing!
However, a two-meter height was quite considerable for someone like Lan Baobao, whose athletic abilities were not very developed.
She measured the height with her legs; it seemed to be about twice her leg length...
Indeed, the window was very high, and the distance from the window to the ground in the backyard was a full two meters.
Stuck at the window without enough cushioning preparation, she could only jump down hard. If Mu Jiangfeng failed to catch her in time, then Lan Baobao wouldn’t be enjoying herself abroad anymore.
Her fate would either be lying in a hospital or being caught by Ye Zixun and lying comfortably in bed.
Lan Baobao is a person who values life, so it's only natural for her to be scared.
At this moment, Mu Jiangfeng must be regretting not bringing a ladder or wondering why he couldn't grow a pair of wings to perform a spectacular hero's rescue.
"Don't be afraid, I will catch you. It's only two meters high; you won't get hurt! Baby, jump down quickly."
Mu Jiangfeng had to keep his voice down to avoid alarming others and ruining the plan while also trying to project confidence to give Lan Baobao enough courage to jump down.
It seems that helping someone escape is indeed a skillful task.
"But what if you can't catch me? What if I end up crippled? I'm still scared!" Lan Baobao couldn't help but voice her doubts without holding back.
In a life-and-death situation, she wouldn't consider whether saying such things might hurt Mu Jiangfeng's confidence.
Although for a man, the distance was only two meters, for Lan Baobao, two meters felt no different from five or ten meters.
Equally terrifying!
A chill swept through Mu Jiangfeng's heart as he sometimes really had to question what it was about Lan Baobao that attracted him.
When this girl’s brain isn’t functioning properly, even the gods would be driven mad by her.
Now that things had come to this point, did it make any sense to still be tangled up in this issue?
The arrow is on the string and must be released; even if Mu Jiangfeng truly lacked confidence in catching her, would she not jump?
Sometimes, Mu Jiangfeng found Lan Baobao adorably silly, but other times, he felt that her mind was always occupied with questions he couldn't understand.
For example, right now, because of the fear of this short two-meter distance, she has been sitting on the windowsill, unwilling to jump down.
Because she is afraid of injuring her feet, she has been hesitating. If someone discovers her and brings her back to Ye Zixun, then it wouldn't just be a fear of spraining her ankle! She fears that both of her legs would be rendered useless by him.
"Lan Baobao, you can jump down boldly! Baby, I will definitely catch you, I promise."
Although Mu Jiangfeng felt speechless about Lan Baobao's hesitation, he still patiently encouraged her.
In fact, the little bit of complaint in his heart was entirely due to the feeling of happiness resonating within him. This was the first time Mu Jiangfeng had hope for his relationship with Lan Baobao, and he was determined to fight for it with all his might. He was willing to be someone who would give everything for her, aside from Ye Zixun. He even felt that he could do better.
Lan Baobao didn't know if she truly trusted Mu Jiangfeng or if she was forced to trust him out of necessity. In any case, after a long period of time, she finally leaped down without hesitation in a dog paddle position.
"Well... I'm jumping down now, remember to catch me, okay? If you dare to let me fall, just wait and see how I will deal with you!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I know! I will absolutely not let you fall to the ground! Hurry up and jump down; there's not much time left!"
"Alright then, I'm jumping! You catch me!"
With a deep breath and a quick leap, she thought that dying early would mean being reborn sooner!
Lan Baobao closed her eyes and pushed off with her legs, jumping down from the two-meter-high windowsill.
