The two exchanged a look, sensing that things had taken a turn.
Qin Ningyi drove the car at a steady speed through the airport gate, heading towards the outskirts.
Without any pause, the airport police paid them no special attention.
Qin Ningyi brought Huo Rou to a small courtyard outside the city, "Let's go in and make a plan."
As soon as they entered the gate, Huo Rou received a call from Zhou Wu.
"Rose, don't rush to the airport. BDD is investigating the smuggling of Song Ju."
Even though he didn't want Huo Rou to leave, Zhou Wu couldn't help but contact her when he thought of her being in danger.
Qin Ningyi walked over with his phone, "That person was caught and confessed everything."
This meant that BDD might not only be watching Song Ju, but possibly Qin Ningyi himself. If Qin Ningyi were to leave now, he would undoubtedly be searched.
Zhou Wu, on the other end of the phone, also heard the news, "You absolutely must not go near the police dogs. They are specially trained to be extremely sensitive to the scent of Song Ju's stamen!"
Everyone had heard of the terrifying capabilities of BDD.
"Thank you, we'll be careful." Huo Rou thanked Zhou Wu and then sat on the sofa, closing her eyes to think.
If these three people were dealt with, no one would be able to prove that they had encountered her and Qin Ningyi.
Then, as long as she boarded with the Song Ju extract, no one would be able to find out.
Giles strode in, and indeed, he had not brought any police dogs.
This increased Huo Rou's chances of success.
Giles questioned everyone one by one. When he came to Huo Rou, she had already altered her appearance, making her look even younger. She looked at him with a bewildered expression, her eyes full of innocent sincerity.
Feigning ignorance, Giles let her go and moved on.
Before Huo Rou could relax, Giles suddenly stopped and took a deep breath.
"The scent of Song Ju." He turned back, meeting Huo Rou's innocent eyes.
As soon as he spoke, Huo Rou's hand shot up, about to pull the trigger. However, a banquet guest, startled, bumped into her. Losing her opportunity, Huo Rou could only turn and run.
Giles was stunned, caught in the sudden icy gaze in Huo Rou's eyes, and now watched her agile retreating figure.
He snapped back to reality.
"It's you!" Giles exclaimed in shock, "Someone, kill her!"
Two other subordinates took their orders and chased after her with guns.
Qin Ningyi pulled Huo Rou in front of him from the crowd, shielding her as they ran outwards.
Giles took out his walkie-talkie and called out to other members, "I've found that girl from back then, come over to the manor, all of you."
"I won't let you run again! Chinese girl!" Giles aimed his gun at Huo Rou.
A whistling sound cut through the air.
Qin Ningyi pulled Huo Rou to his left, and the bullet grazed his arm.
This speed was faster than he had anticipated.
He was indeed out of touch. Fortunately, Huo Rou was not injured.
Huo Rou pulled another compact pistol from her waist and handed it to him, "For self-defense."
Her words were simple and steady, as if she were giving him something mundane.
Qin Ningyi looked at her expertly drawing a gun from her waist, then at the intricate design of the gun she handed him, and his eye twitched.
