After Being Transported into a Book, I Adopted the Villain-Chapter 56: Escape (2)

“This is the key to the back door. You may go out from there. There’s someone waiting for you.” Aunt Chen placed the key into Shen Yu’s palm. “I’ll lure the two bodyguards outside away but I’m afraid I can’t escort you out. For your convenience, use your crutches or wheelchair”

“Who is waiting for me?” Shen Yu asked.

“It seems that he is a friend of Young Master Tang Li. Young Master Tang Li personally gave me a call earlier.” Aunt Chen answered.

Shen Yu was excited, “Is Chestnut alright?”

“He probably should be fine.” Aunt Chen scratched her head. “I’m not really sure but you may ask him later.”

“That’s great...”

Shen Yu was so happy that he somehow lost his bearing. He couldn’t wait to see Tang Li. He got up from the sofa and hurried out, Aunt Chen hurriedly following him.

Although Uncle Zhang arranged six bodyguards to keep an eye on Shen Yu 24 hours a day, they did not dare to keep watch of Shen Yu while he’s in the bathroom or taking a rest.

When they saw Shen Yu return to his room earlier to rest, they went downstairs to relax.

Shen Yu followed Aunt Chen carefully down the stairs. Due to his weakened body, they almost stopped after two steps. They practically walked for half an hour in a ten-meter distance.

On the first floor, Shen Yu saw two bodyguards lingering in the living room.

The sky outside the French window [3] had completely darkened, showing a deep dark blue color. There was no starlight present, only a silent crescent moon hanging in the air.

(TN: [3] French window is a pair of casement windows that reaches to the floor, opens in the middle, and is placed in an exterior wall.)

The living room was lit up with only two bright yellow floor lamps, drawing the shadow of the two bodyguards.

Aunt Chen, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped. She turned around and gave Shen Yu a stop signal, “Please wait here for a while.”

Shen Yu immediately stood still.

His pair of round peach blossom eyes widened, his face became white from nervousness and unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Aunt Chen took a deep breath. In a blink of an eye, her expression became anxious.

She stumbled towards the two bodyguards, pulling the hem of their clothing from one of them. She didn’t know what to say as she gasped for breath. She saw that the two bodyguards were so frightened that they turned pale. They did not waste time to even think about it and turned around, running to the second floor.

Shen Yu watched as Aunt Chen and the two bodyguards went up the stairs at full speed. He did not dare to hesitate and immediately dragged his legs to the back door.

There were three back doors in the villa. To prevent paparazzi from sneaking in through the back door, the original owner asked Uncle Zhang to find someone to seal two of the three doors. In case of an emergency, the other door would be used as an emergency exit.

They had been in the villa for so long that it hadn’t even been used once. However, it’s not until now that it has been made for good use.

It was quite ironic to think about it.

He was glad that the original owner had coincidentally left a way for him to escape.

Shen Yu gritted his teeth hard. His footsteps were deep and shallow as he walked at a fast pace. He grasped the key with his hand to his chest.

He walked out of the villa and went through the dark garden. He didn’t dare to stay for a second.

He didn’t know how long he had walked. Shen Yu felt his legs gradually hurting, almost losing control over it. His legs trembled so much until it gave up on him. He fell, luckily he was uninjured since he fell on the grass. But the land was wet from rain, the unpleasant smell of wet soil went straight to his nose, dirt splattered on his face and body.

At the same time, a voice came from behind.

“Sir!”

It was Uncle Zhang’s voice.

However, what Shen Yu heard was a call from the devil. His whole face had become ashen in the speed of light. He hurriedly crawled up from the grass in panic.

His hands were covered with sticky mud. It was as if he was not aware of it. He continued to walk unsteadily. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

“Sir.” Uncle Zhang shouted anxiously. “Calm down. Young Master Tang Li is fine. Mr. Shen, they have released Young Master Tang Li.”

Shen Yu ignored Uncle Zhang’s words, he didn’t even look back.

“Sir...”

“Don’t come here!” Shen Yu snapped. He walked towards the back door desperately.

He was in a dark place, he couldn’t even see his fingers. Behind him were fierce beasts waiting for an opportunity. If he didn’t pay proper attention, they would rush up to him and gnaw him to the bone.

In front of him was light, Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and looked straight.

It was close.

He was getting closer and closer.

It was until Shen Yu took out the key to open the door, Uncle Zhang and the bodyguards seemed to have stopped a few meters away from him, they didn’t make any more noise and watched Shen Yu leave silently.

Stepping out of the back door, Shen Yu saw dense woods before the narrow path.

There was a black car parked on the other side of the road. The driver noticed Shen Yu’s arrival and immediately turned on the headlights, honking twice.

Shen Yu instantly knew. With some difficulty, he walked towards the car. He stooped slightly and looked at the unfamiliar man sitting in the driver’s seat through the semi-open window.

It was strange, he had never met this man.

However, this man clearly knew Shen Yu. He saw an embarrassed Shen Yu under the streetlight, mud smudged on his cheek. The man was stunned for a while then uncertainty asked, “Are you, Mr. Shen Yu?”

Shen Yu ignored his question and asked, “Who asked you to come for me?”

“Brother Li.” The man replied. He caught a flash of vigilance in Shen Yu’s eyes. He squirmed and quickly added, “It’s Tang Li. He’s waiting for you somewhere else.”

As he said those words, the man stretched out his hand to open the front passenger’s door. He smiled and introduced himself, “Hello, Mr. Shen. My family name is Zhou and my given name is Che. I’m Brother Li’s colleague.”
