Chapter 264 The Escaped Canary
"Haqiu!"

Xiao Qingque suddenly sneezed.

She rubbed her nose, wondering if someone was secretly thinking about her.

Could it be that guy Shen Cheng? He usually pretends to be a gentleman, but after being bitten a few times by me, his true colors were exposed. Maybe he is waiting for me to go back home and play with him.

After sneezing, Xiao Qingque looked up again at the mansion in the distance.

It was late at night, but the lights were still on in the mansion, and many bodyguards were patrolling around day and night.

In order to find out whether Cheng Ying was in the mansion, Xiao Qingque deliberately released a large number of mosquitoes into it, and finally found Cheng Ying.

The task that Shen Cheng assigned to Xiao Qingque was almost completed, and she was ready to go back to report and lie down at home.

When he returned home, he found that Shen Cheng was not there. Xiao Qingque was afraid that Cheng Ying would move again, and he would have to look for her again, so he could only continue to come here and keep an eye on her.

While keeping watch, Xiao Qingque discovered many things. For example, although Cheng Ying lived in the mansion and had a high status, she was actually imprisoned and could not leave the mansion at all.

In addition, Cheng Ying has been planning to escape.

Every time she would avoid the surveillance housekeeper and secretly plan her escape route in the middle of the night.

And all of this was seen by the mosquitoes that Xiao Qingque released into the mansion.

Moreover, by eavesdropping on the conversations between the bodyguards and servants during this period, Xiao Qingque suddenly understood Cheng Ying's identity. She was actually a mistress kept by a big shot.

Shen Cheng actually asked them to find the residence of this mistress, which made Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli imagine at least two million words of love, hate and vengeance.

Yan Qiuli still has a lot of opinions about this. She feels that there are more and more women around Shen Cheng, and now he even wants other people's mistresses. Her brother is too picky.

Xiao Qingque became excited about this. As an author, what she liked most was this kind of ups and downs in the plot and the complex interpersonal relationships.

This completely gave her up the idea of ​​going home to slack off, and she began to take the initiative to monitor outside the mansion day and night, just to see if Cheng Ying could escape successfully, and also to get material for her new novel.

While Xiao Qingque's Mosquito was still staring at the movements in the room, Yan Qiuli beside her yawned.

After all, he is too young, and he has been staying up late with me for several nights, so he is starting to feel sleepy now.

Yan Qiuli turned around and looked at her: "Why don't you go back first?"

"No."

Yan Qiuli refused immediately.

Although she kept complaining about Shen Cheng not being picky about finding a mistress, in fact, like Xiao Qingque, she was always paying attention to whether Cheng Ying could escape successfully.

This is much more interesting than going home and being alone.

But she was really sleepy. Yan Qiuli leaned on Xiao Qingque and asked in a low voice: "Sister Qingque, how long do we have to stay here?"

"You don't have to wait too long. I think she's going to escape tonight."

Xiao Qingque touched Yan Qiuli's head and said, "If you are really sleepy, just take a nap here."

As she spoke, she used blood control techniques to create a bed for Yan Qiuli.

"Good night, Sister Qingque."

Yan Qiuli lay on the bed, still mumbling: "If she runs away, remember to wake me up later..."

He fell asleep before he could finish his words.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Yan Qiuli was suddenly woken up by Xiao Qingque.

"Wake up."

Yan Qiuli sat up sleepily and rubbed her eyes: "Is it morning yet?"

"No, it's the mistress inside who's about to run away."

After hearing Xiao Qingque's answer, Yan Qiuli suddenly became alert and all sleepiness disappeared.

"Did he run away?"

"I see she's getting ready."

Xiao Qingque placed several mosquitoes in Cheng Ying's bedroom and watched her every move.

It is now past four in the morning, the time when everyone is sleeping the deepest.

Cheng Ying was wearing a black shirt and black pants, with a black mask and hat on her face. She was wrapping her feet with a thick layer of cotton cloth to prevent making any noise when walking.

Looking at her appearance, it was obvious that she was preparing to run away.

Listening to Xiao Qingque's description, Yan Qiuli also became excited: "Sister Qingque, do you think she can escape?"

"It's hard to say. She tried to escape once before but failed. Now people must be keeping an eye on her."

Xiao Qingque looked down at Yan Qiuli and said, "How about you help her with divination?"

"Okay!"

Yan Qiuli immediately took out the crystal ball she carried with her and began to tell fortunes for Cheng Ying in the mansion.

Fortunately, Cheng Ying's strength was not strong, and with Xiao Qingque's detailed description of her, Yan Qiuli was able to successfully predict Cheng Ying's situation.

The crystal ball emitted a faint light. Yan Qiuli fumbled with the ball with both hands. Suddenly, her expression changed slightly: "Oh, she will fail in her escape!"

"fail?"

Xiao Qingque was shocked. She had been looking at the escape strategy made by Cheng Ying these two days. It was so detailed that almost every aspect was taken into consideration. She couldn't see any problems at all. Even if she did it herself, she would definitely not be able to do better.

I didn't expect it to fail. Could something unexpected have happened along the way?

Yan Qiuli put down the crystal ball and asked Xiao Qingque, "What should we do, Sister Qingque? Should we help her?"

If Cheng Ying was just an ordinary mistress, Yan Qiuli would definitely not care about her life or death.

But now Cheng Ying is obviously imprisoned. The fact that she wants to escape proves that she is not willing to be a mistress in her heart. Yan Qiuli feels that she can lend a helping hand.

Xiao Qingque frowned and thought. The reason she stayed here to monitor was just to collect materials for her new book.

Cheng Ying's successful escape and her failed escape are two completely different story lines. After the failed escape, she made up her mind to start a rebellion within the group, or after the successful escape, she hid from place to place and gradually grew up.

These two different directions made it very difficult for Xiao Qingque to make a decision.

But she finally decided to follow her heart.

……

Cheng Ying didn't know that her every move had been watched. After making careful preparations, she took out a wig and pretended to be someone sleeping on the bed. Then she stood behind the bedroom door, calculated the time, pushed the door open a crack, slipped out quickly, and closed the door.

There is a surveillance camera outside facing the bedroom door, monitoring day and night.

But Cheng Ying had already secretly figured out that the employees in the monitoring room would make themselves a cup of coffee to wake themselves up at 4:30 in the evening. At that time, he would leave his seat to pour hot water, leaving about ten seconds of free time.

Cheng Ying took advantage of this opportunity and left the bedroom without anyone noticing.

But this is not the biggest test, it is just the beginning.

In view of Cheng Ying’s last escape experience, a large number of surveillance cameras were installed in the mansion this time. There were also more than ten bodyguards patrolling day and night, and they were replaced every day.

With such tight defense, not even a mosquito can fly in... Well, mosquitoes can still fly in, but apart from mosquitoes, even if a fly flies in, it will be beaten.

However, no matter how tight the defense is, there will always be loopholes.

Ever since moving to the new residence, Cheng Ying has been planning to escape. Her ability is psychic, which allows her consciousness to leave her body and move around the mansion without being discovered.

With this method, Cheng Ying completely understood the situation of the entire mansion, including the locations of all surveillance cameras, the patrol times and areas of all bodyguards, and even the little habits of each of them.

Although she was forced to be a canary for so many years, Cheng Ying did not fall behind in the training she received back then and had been practicing secretly.

Relying on the loophole she discovered, Cheng Ying successfully found an escape route.

Before tonight, she had simulated this many times with her own consciousness, with a success rate of 99 percent.

Tonight was her first real attempt, and also her last. If she failed and was discovered, she would face guards ten times tighter than this in the future, and she would never be able to escape again.

Relying on the intelligence obtained in advance, Cheng Ying easily avoided all patrolling security guards and surveillance cameras, and successfully left the mansion and came to the back garden.

The back garden is not safe either, there are also patrolling bodyguards and cameras.

Cheng Ying lurked patiently in the garden, moving forward a short distance after about ten minutes.

From the time she left the bedroom at 4:30 to now, almost 5 o'clock, half an hour had passed, and she had only just reached the wall of the back garden.

Looking at the wall that was so close, Cheng Ying did not rush over rashly. She lurked there for at least fifteen minutes until the passing patrol officer walked away. At this time, the next patrol officer would desert his post and hide to smoke.

Cheng Ying seized the opportunity and ran out from her hiding place without hesitation, rushing towards the wall a few meters away.

The nearly three-meter-high wall was not a problem for her. She ran up and jumped up, reached out to grab the top of the wall, and pulled hard, easily pulling her body up. She used her other hand to gain leverage on the top of the wall and climbed over the wall with a perfect move.

The moment she jumped out of the wall, Cheng Ying could hardly believe that she had escaped so easily.

Restraining her excitement and the urge to laugh out loud, Cheng Ying subconsciously rushed forward after landing.

But she stopped after taking just a few steps.
Because there were two people standing right in front of her, blocking her way, and it seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.

One is the captain of all bodyguards, responsible for the security of the entire mansion, and the other is the housekeeper who is responsible for Cheng Ying's daily life.

At this time, the man and woman should have been sleeping, but they were standing here in high spirits. They were not surprised at Cheng Ying's behavior of climbing over the wall. It was obvious that they had known about her escape plan and were waiting here specifically.

Cheng Ying's face turned pale, and her heart sank to the bottom in an instant. Her originally excited mood turned into despair.

Seeing the stunned expression on Cheng Ying's face, the housekeeper suppressed her joy and said calmly, "Madam, it's almost morning, please go back and have a good sleep."

Cheng Ying didn't move. After a few seconds of silence, she asked, "How did you find me?"

"Your escape plan was very successful. I didn't expect you could find a route despite such careful defenses."

The housekeeper first praised him, and then said, "But your last escape has already made us alert enough. We have to keep an eye on you day and night, and you have revealed many flaws, including your strange schedule and the loss of paper and pens at home, which all show that you have not given up your plan to escape again."

Only then did Cheng Ying realize that her escape plan had been discovered long ago. Once such a thing came to light, no matter how careful the plan was, it would be useless.

The bodyguard captain also spoke: "Madam, please go back."

Cheng Ying didn't move, but her eyes looked past them into the distance.

I was so close to freedom, as if I could reach it, but I was blocked by just two people.

They are blocking not only their present selves, but also their future lives.

The bodyguard captain frowned slightly: "Madam, please don't make things difficult for us, otherwise I will have to take coercive measures to ask you to go back."

He was an extraordinary man and could easily subdue the lady. His only worry was that he would be blamed by that adult if he used force.

Cheng Ying still didn't move. She knew that she was far inferior to the bodyguard captain in terms of strength and was no match for him at all.

Although she was extremely talented when she was a child, she was forced to be a canary for so many years and had no chance to gain any experience or grow, which wasted her talent. The senior executive also deliberately kept her in a weak state.

But what if we are no match?

Cheng Ying had already made up her mind to escape, even at the cost of her life.

Not only did she not look back, but she took a step forward, ready to fight the two men.

The captain of the bodyguards' face changed, and Cheng Ying's fearless look finally turned the housekeeper's joy into anger: "Madam, what are you making a fuss about? You are so high up, well-fed, well-clothed, and you are loved by that master. What on earth are you dissatisfied with?"

Cheng Ying glanced at her and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

She followed up with an "oh": "Sorry, you're too ugly. I don't like you."

The housekeeper's expression twisted instantly.

The bodyguard captain also stepped forward, ready to subdue Cheng Ying: "Madam, I'm sorry."

Rather than being blamed by that gentleman for using violence, it would be a capital crime if the lady were to escape successfully.

He had no choice but to resort to coercive measures in order to choose the lesser of two evils.
