Chapter 1096
The cold wind howled, and torrential rain poured down without showing any sign of stopping.
This is a private island, heavily guarded. Xia Miaomiao lay on the muddy grass, letting the rain wash over her soaked face, not daring to move a muscle. She had been watching for three days; the patrols changed shifts every half an hour, making escape as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
But if she didn’t find a way to escape, tomorrow would be the day of final judgment, and she would be dead for sure.
Buzzzzz—
Suddenly, a huge gust of wind rose above her head.
Xia Miaomiao looked up.
Damn, a helicopter was arrogantly descending right above her!
Unfortunately, it seemed as though it was going to land right on the patch of grass where she was lying.
If she didn’t dodge, and the helicopter descended on her, wouldn’t she be crushed into a pulp?
Just as Xia Miaomiao was about to move, a group of bodyguards in raincoats rushed up rapidly through the torrential rain.
Xia Miaomiao immediately held her breath, not daring to move at all. If the patrolling bodyguards discovered that she had sneaked out, there was no need to wait for the final judgment tomorrow; the next second would be her death sentence!
What to do?
Here’s a joke: Would you prefer to be squashed to death by a helicopter, or shot to death?
As a naturally lazy bones who preferred lying down at home to sitting, she figured that since it was a dead end anyway, she might as well follow her heart. Xia Miaomiao decided to play dead!
Rumble rumble—
The sound of thunder and the helicopter rotor moved simultaneously, seemingly dissatisfied with her choice to play dead, determined to pierce her eardrums.
Xia Miaomiao closed her eyes, waiting long for the moment she’d be flattened by the helicopter, which surprisingly did not happen. She opened her eyes in delightful shock.
The helicopter landed just five centimeters away from her. Whew, how close~~~
"Master Huo!"
Suddenly, respectful voices of the bodyguards came to her ears, all nodding and bowing down in unison.
Xia Miaomiao curiously looked up, only to see a long, straight leg stepping out from the helicopter.
The biggest boss on this island was holding a black umbrella, respectfully welcoming the man stepping off the helicopter, shielding him from the howling wind and rain, never daring to raise his head, as if raising his head in front of the man would be an unforgivable offense
Xia Miaomiao knew the rules on this island were very strict, and rank was oppressive. But what was the background of the man who commanded such respect, even from the most arrogant boss on the island?
She lay in the mud, staring at the man’s pure black, exquisitely tailored trench coat, wishing she could immediately pull it off the man and wrap it around her shivering body for warmth.
Unfortunately, the reality was that she did not dare to move even a bit, afraid of being discovered and shot in the head.
So she had to lie there, admiring the man with an unusually fierce aura. noveldrama
The back looked great, tall and straight, emitting a regal noble aura from every angle...
With Xia Miaomiao’s professional eye, this outfit was likely top-notch, but she wondered about his facial features?
Many who looked good from behind were disappointments when revealed.
Unexpectedly, the man’s vigilance was so strong that he walked a few steps among the entourage of bodyguards, then suddenly turned around, sending a sharp look in her direction.
The moment the man turned his head, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky.
Caught off guard, Xia Miaomiao met the man’s intensely domineering gaze and simultaneously saw his face clearly.
It was a face of proud ice, millennia old, with eyebrows slanted sharply into his temples, a high and handsome nose ridge, lips as thin as cherry blossoms, every aspect was soul-stirring, his facial features were as exquisite as a king from a medieval castle...
In the next instant, hissing—
Xia Miaomiao felt smoke rising from her head, her only awareness being that she had been struck by lightning!
