640 In Hiding

Lily's POV:

I had no idea how to escape from this manor. I lied to Yarin.

The security guards monitored me closely, and I couldn't find any opportunities to take advantage of them. Even the servants who delivered the meals had turned into security guards. They were not as soft-hearted as young women. After the stipulated meal time, they would immediately remove all the cutlery and not leave a single 'tool' for me.

I didn't sleep the whole night, waiting for dawn.

When the whole city gradually woke up, there was indeed a commotion in the manor. I believed the news of Yarin's disappearance from the hospital had been exposed.

Although I felt sorry for the Queen, I still chose not to say anything. After the heat from last night subsided, I gradually realized that this was a stupid thing to do. However, since I had decided to help and trust in Yarin, I would never hold him back.

So, when my mother came in aggressively and asked me if I knew the inside story, I only replied calmly, "I've been locked up here by you, haven't I? If you don't believe me, you can ask the security guard at the door. I can't even leave this room, let alone go to the hospital."

My mother refused to believe me. Her instincts were always sharp.

"I've been wondering why you lured me here last night. You've always been very cautious. If you wanted to run, you would never deliberately attract attention and create trouble for yourself. Are you hiding something for someone? Sacrificing yourself to promote something?"

My palms were full of sweat, but I still tried my best to appear calm. I said coldly, "Mother, you're starting again. Perhaps you're not suitable to be a politician. It would be best if you were a screenwriter writer. I believe that your work will definitely sell well."

My mother was indignant that she didn't get any reliable information from me, so she called the security guards from last night to confront him.



"Did you only see Miss at that time? Was there anything wrong with the situation?"

The security guard thought for a moment and shook his head. "No, Madam. There was only Miss and me. There was no third person."

"Are you sure?" My mother asked him to take out the signal detector. "Are you sure it's working? No external signal detected?"

I broke out in a cold sweat when I saw the signal detector. Fortunately, we didn't contact each other on our phones last night. Otherwise, we would have been exposed.

My mother called the technicians to check all the equipment on the security guards, but they found nothing.

also found a bunch of spies from the Lily of the Valley hiding in the Silver Moon Pack.

20:57

These people had been lurking for a long time. Not only did they have legal identities in the Silver She was very reluctant, but there was nothing she could do. She could only leave angrily. Before she left, she sent more people to watch over me.

I deliberately provoked her. "Instead of wasting your energy on me, why don't you send more people to find the prince? How refreshing. The same person was lost twice in the Silver Moon Pack. Even if the Queen didn't mind, you should think about how to face the media."

My mother slammed the door loudly.

At noon, new news came. Yarin was found, and he appeared on his own accord. Apart from that, he also found a bunch of spies from the Lily of the Valley hiding in the Silver Moon Pack.

These people had been lurking for a long time. Not only did they have legal identities in the Silver Moon Pack, but they had also been colluding with Lily of the Valley for a long time.

The Queen was furious. She reprimanded my grandfather and mother and ordered the closure of foreign labor channels indefinitely until the Silver Moon Pack proved its innocence.

Now, no one had time to care about me. The security guards in front of the door were gradually withdrawn. It seemed that my mother had more important things for them to do.

A young servant was the only one left to watch over me the next day. It was easy to get around her.

I wanted to follow the agreement to find Yarin, but I needed to find out where he was. The news about him had been tightly sealed, which made me worry that something had happened to him.

I first went to the garbage disposal plant in the suburbs. This place had already been sealed off. The spy had been taken away. Everyone else had to undergo a strict inspection before they could leave.

I couldn't enter, nor did I dare to. I couldn't find any clues here, so I had to leave first.

The Silver Moon Pack was like a frightened bird. Its owner was panicking, so it naturally couldn't calm down.

It was said that nearly half of the jobs were closed, and only the government and public facilities were still supporting the operation of the city. This made it even more difficult for me to move because the police were on the street interrogating suspicious people.

I did not doubt that my mother had discovered that I had run away again. In a fit of anger, it would not be surprising if she issued a warrant for my arrest.

I had to hide.

The hiding place was a closed bakery. Picking the lock was a piece of cake for me.

The owner had obviously left in a hurry. The dough in the fermentation room had spilled onto the floor, emitting a not-so-attractive sourness.

The environment could have been better, so I could only endure it the next day.

With the lessons learned from the past, the patrols at night were even more intense than during the day.

The following day, I was woken up by a few sparrows. These natural creatures became active when the human trail gradually dispersed from the city. n()0vElbIn

Looking out of the window where the sparrow was perched, I saw a police car parked by the side of the road, checking the closed stores one by one. I secretly cried out that something was wrong and immediately left quietly through the back door.
