Gu Nianzhi picked up her iPad and began searching for information about the Königssee, which was a two-hour drive from Munich.
Beautiful pictures appeared on the iPad. It turned out that the lake was left behind by glacial erosion during the Ice Age. It was a long and narrow waterway between the towering Alps.
The lake water was so clear it was a light jade color. It was the bright green flower on a top-quality jade bracelet that wrapped around the mountains like a jade belt.
A thin mist floated in the autumn morning, and not far away, the Alps were covered in snow. The forest between the mountains was red and yellow, like a picturesque painting. It made the Königssee look like a fairyland.
Gu Nianzhi rested her chin on her hands as she laid on the bed to look at the beautiful scenery. She couldn't help blushing.
She was going to see Huo Shao tomorrow …
She bought him a Zippo lighter, just in time to bring it to him.
…
Munich Regional Hospital stood quietly in the darkness in the same night.
The moon in the sky was beautiful and wrapped around the earth like a veil. There were also twinkling stars that dotted the night sky.
However, not many people walked around the hospital. The 18th century stone pavement reflected the moonlight and appeared mottled blue.
The middle of the night was the time when people were the most sleepy, and the two police officers in front of Seth's room were sprawled on the bench by the door, snoring from time to time, making the hospital seem even quieter at night.
Amidst the tranquility of the night, several bird cries suddenly rang out. It was very abrupt.
Seth, who should have been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.
There was no one else in the room except for him. The window was ajar with only white gauze curtains.
The wind blew in, bringing with it the humidity of the night sky. The white gauze curtains billowed like waves. The weather forecast said there would be heavy rain the next day.
Not long after, the birds chirped again, this time five times in a row.
Seth's hands were originally handcuffed to the bed, but the ends of the handcuffs were connected to the bed railings. It wasn't too long, but it wasn't too short either. It allowed him to raise his arms slightly, but it couldn't be too far from the bed railings.
He turned over and pushed the pillow away with his head. With the moonlight shining through the window, he saw a key under the pillow.
She moved her head over step by step, picked up the key with her mouth and sat up. Then, she turned over and sat up. She bent down and matched the key with her mouth a few times before putting it into the handcuff's keyhole.
He clenched his teeth and turned it slightly. With a click, the handcuff on his right hand was finally unlocked!
Seth glared hatefully at the handcuffs that restricted his movements and threw them on the ground. Then, with the key in his right hand, he unlocked the left handcuff as well.
With his arm free, he swung his arm that had been handcuffed for several days. Then, he got up and untied his leg from the sling.
The injury on his leg was not a fracture at all. It was just a cut made with a knife. Although it was extremely painful at the time, he hated the doctor who suggested it.
But when he saw that the other party's lawyer came and confirmed his injury, he stopped cursing.
He also had to take off the splint on his leg and change into the sneakers that he had placed under the bed. He pulled open the curtains and jumped out of the half-open window.
Seth's room was on the third floor. It wasn't too high from the ground, but it wasn't too low either.
There was a zigzag staircase that led to the first floor from the window of his room. It was originally one of the fire escape routes that the hospital had installed according to regulations.
His stepfather, York, had purposely arranged for him to stay here for this convenience.
Seeing that the first trial could not be delayed any longer and that the trial would be broadcasted live, it was very likely that he would not be acquitted and would definitely be sent to jail.
However, Seth didn't want to go to jail at all, and his stepfather didn't want his authority to be challenged either, so he thought of this.
Although he would become a fugitive, it was better than being locked up in jail for the rest of his life.
Besides, if he left Germany, the case would drag on indefinitely, and he might not even be a fugitive …
He walked down the metal railing of the zigzag staircase, his footsteps hurried.
When he reached the last step, he saw a duffel bag in the corner next to the staircase. It was for him. He knew that his mother had secretly told him this when she came to visit him a few days ago.
Seth opened it and saw a change of clothes, a car key, a passport with a different name, and a wallet. There was a lot of cash in the wallet, as well as a few new bank cards. They weren't in his name or his parents' names, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered when he withdrew the money.
With this passport, he could go to any country in the European Union without having to worry about visas.
Seth quickly took off the hospital gown and changed into the clothes in the duffel bag. Then he slung the duffel bag on his back and quickly walked out with the car key in his hand.
In the lobby of the hospital, several nurses were on the night shift. The lights were bright, and there were security guards at the door.
Seth turned around the corner and turned back to look at the castle-like hospital building. He sneered and walked out without looking back.
A black SUV was parked not far from the hospital, almost blending into the night.
Seth knew that was the car prepared for him. He took out the car key from the duffel bag and pressed it a few times to open the car door remotely. Just as he was about to walk over, he suddenly saw a few men in black walking out from behind the trees on the side of the road and standing beside the SUV.
The men in black were all wearing sunglasses. They were tall and muscular, and it was obvious that they weren't good people.
Just by standing there, they sent chills down Seth's spine.
Seth's heart skipped a beat. He took two steps back and turned to run.
But when he turned around, he saw a few identical men in black and sunglasses walking over from behind him.
The men in black came from the front and back and surrounded him solemnly.
Seth's legs trembled uncontrollably, and he almost knelt on the ground.
He looked at the men in black and asked, "Who … Who are you?"
These men in black looked at him silently. No one spoke, and no one moved. They were like statues.
Seth's legs turned to jelly, and he fell to the ground.
At that moment, two crisp slaps came from behind the men in black.
A few of the black-clothed men moved to make way for a path.
Seth's eyes widened as he saw a voluptuous woman with long, straight hair, a round face, and Prada floating cloud sunglasses walk over. Beside her was Seth's stepfather, York.
Thank God!
Seth drew a cross in front of his chest and instantly felt strength return to his legs.
He pushed himself up and called out, "Father!"
York nodded at him but didn't say anything. Instead, he stood to the side with a gloomy expression.
The lenses of the Prada floating cloud sunglasses were large and round, and they covered half of her face. In the dark, Seth couldn't make out what the woman looked like at all.
