The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Wanted

Seeing that he was still a little depressed, Lu Qingrang calmly changed the subject, his voice calm and reassuring: “Let’s go to the North District. The Nangong family’s power is mainly concentrated in the South District, and his hands can’t reach that far for the time being. Let’s just find an inconspicuous small city to settle in the North District.”

“North District?” Xu Wen was indeed attracted by this topic. He jumped up from the bed, threw himself on the bed and grabbed his mobile phone. His movements were so fast that it almost caused a gust of wind. “Okay, I’ll check the route and train times!”

He quickly opened the browser and his fingertips slid quickly across the screen.He first searched for information on long-distance buses from City A to several transportation hub cities in the northern region. His brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

“Found it!” After a while, he raised his head, his eyes flashing with the light of a plan taking shape, and he spoke to Lu Qingrang slightly faster, “I’ve made a rough plan, you can see if it works.”

He took the mobile phone, came to Lu Qingrang’s side, pointed at the information on the screen and explained:

“The first step is to go there on time tomorrow morning to get our new ID cards and phone cards. This is the foundation. Without this, nothing can be done.”

“The second step is to go to the Chengbei Passenger Terminal immediately after getting it.” He pointed his finger at the address of the passenger terminal. “I checked. The management there is relatively loose, the flow of people is large, and the inspection at the manual ticket window is not so strict. Using the ‘ID card’ we just got to buy tickets has the highest success rate. We cannot buy online, as it is easy to leave electronic traces.”

“The third step is the destination.” Xu Wen slid the screen and displayed an inconspicuous third-tier city in the northern region. “Let’s go to Lincheng. This is not a popular city with many trains and a relatively complicated flow of people, so it is not easy to notice. When we get there, we will decide whether to stay longer or move to a more remote place based on the situation.”

He put down his mobile phone and concluded: “In short, the core is: Get your identity certificate tomorrow, go to the passenger terminal immediately, and use cash to buy the fastest ticket to Northern Lincheng. We can leave during the chaos to avoid Nangong Chen’s eyes and ears as much as possible.”

His plan is clear and concise, making full use of existing resources and information to minimize risks.

Lu Qingrang stared at Xu Wen’s eyes that were shining with concentration. Those eyes, which were always a bit playful or anxious, were now filled with serious planning for the future.

He saw Xu Wen’s fingers tapping on the screen, outlining the road they were about to embark on, and a strange sense of participation arose spontaneously.He no longer just followed passively, but leaned forward slightly, approached the weak screen fluorescence, and added softly: “Lin Cheng… I heard that winter comes early over there, so we need to prepare some thick clothes quickly when we get there.”

“Yes! It has to be dark, resistant to stains and not conspicuous.” Xu Wen immediately answered, his eyes brighter, as if they were already on the streets of Lincheng.

“Maybe…” Lu Qingrang’s voice became softer, as if he was sharing a precious secret, “We can find a room with a window. It doesn’t need to be big, but it’s best to be able to get sunlight.”

Xu Wen’s eyes suddenly lit up: “That’s right! It would be better if there is a small balcony. We can raise a few pots of pothos. That kind of plant is the best to grow.” He said, and he gestured unconsciously with his fingers, “Just put it on the windowsill and water it every day.”

“Yeah.” Lu Qingrang’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

The small and dilapidated room seemed to be warmed by this small conversation.The two of them talked under the dim light, talking to each other about everything from ticket time to livelihood after settling down, from necessary luggage to possible difficulties and responses.Those cold plans for life were strangely tinged with the warmth of home at this moment.

Lu Qingrang listened quietly, occasionally making one or two cautious suggestions.He looked at Xu Wen’s eyebrows dancing with joy, and the desolation in his heart seemed to be softened by the trickling warmth.

It was late at night, and the dilapidated hotel room finally fell silent.

The two of them lay fully clothed, huddled on the squeaky single bed, back to back, sharing each other’s body heat and the rare peace in this turmoil.

No one said anything more. The excitement of the day and the emotional turbulence of the night all turned into heavy exhaustion.The sound of breathing gradually became even and long in the darkness, and the tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment.

——-

The next morning, the faint light from the sky seeped into the room through the dirty glass window, waking Xu Wen from a light sleep.He woke up almost immediately, his life on the run preventing him from deep sleep.

He moved slightly, feeling Lu Qingrang’s steady breathing behind him, and sat up carefully.”Get up, Lu Qingrang.” His voice was still hoarse in the morning, but his tone was very sober.

“Yes.” Lu Qingrang responded and stood up immediately, without any delay in his movements.

The two silently and quickly packed their few belongings, and the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn because of the upcoming transaction and long journey.Xu Wen took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out first.

Just as they stepped out of the room and were about to go down the narrow and steep stairs, the voice of the landlady at the front desk downstairs, with a voice that could not conceal her excitement and greed, came up clearly:

“Oh, don’t worry! I see the photo is real! They are the two boys on the Nangong family’s reward order! Yes, they live here with me!”

Something seemed to be confirmed on the other end of the phone. The voice of the landlady’s wife raised an octave, with a kind of ecstasy about getting rich:

“Hahaha! Get rich, get rich! …What? Four million for two people?! Are you sure? Master Nangong is really generous!”

She lowered her voice, but couldn’t suppress her fierceness: “Bring people here quickly! I’ll keep an eye on them to make sure they can’t run away! …Don’t worry, it’s hard to fly even with wings!”

“…”

On the stairs, Xu Wen and Lu Qingrang’s footsteps froze instantly, as if they were poured ice water from head to toe.

Four million reward!The boss lady has recognized them and called someone!

Xu Wen’s heart shrank suddenly and almost jumped out of his chest.

“Nangong Chen, I fucked your ancestors! Are you going to kill them all like this?!” The fear instantly turned into overwhelming anger towards the mastermind behind the scenes, roaring crazily in his heart.”System! System! Emergency! Plan the fastest escape route! Now! Immediately!”

Run!

There is no need for any verbal communication at all, the instinct of survival instantly overwhelms everything!

Xu Wen grabbed Lu Qingrang’s wrist and instead of moving down, he turned around and ran deep into the corridor on the third floor without hesitation!

“Fuck! This damn bitch!” He cursed in a low voice, but his hand holding Lu Qingrang’s hand was extremely firm.The downstairs has been blocked, they must find another way out!

[Under analysis… Based on the building structure scan and the current threat location, it is recommended to go straight along the corridor to the end, turn right and enter the utility room, whose windows lead to the rooftop of the adjacent building.This is the current optimal path.】The system’s response was so calm that it was almost cold, but it was like a guiding light in the darkness.

“This way!” Xu Wen followed the guidance in his mind and pulled Lu Qingrang to run wildly in the dim corridor, his heart beating like a drum in his chest, looking for the utility room mentioned by the system.
