Chapter 479: Sorry, I’m Late
This villa is very large, with many rooms. In these past few days, Mu Yiliang has only seen Nie Qing and those two servants. Now that Nie Qing is barely alive, that boy named Ah Chu shouldn’t be able to deal with her for the time being, so as long as she avoids those two servants, she won’t be in any immediate danger of losing her life.
The only thing she is thankful for is that the yard outside the villa is very large, with various shrubs, enough for her to hide in.
Mu Yiliang returned to her room, slung a package she had prepared onto her back. A few days ago, she did her best to prepare some food and water, and now it seems they can be put to use. She jumped out of the window of the room! Thankfully, her dexterity hadn’t completely deteriorated, so she wasn’t injured to this extent.
She also tried to see if she could escape from the villa, but the fence was too high, and she gave up in just a second.
So she could only hide in the yard!
On the first day, everything outside was calm and peaceful, as if this villa had been abandoned, with no signs of activity.
Mu Yiliang even considered going back to her room, at least she could sleep in a warm bed, but thinking about that insidious boy, she decided against the risk.
On the second day, there was finally some commotion inside the villa. The sounds were chaotic, but no one came into the yard, so these people’s target probably wasn’t her.
On the third day, all the food and water were exhausted. After three days without proper rest, her strength was at its limit.
That night, the villa was silent, and Mu Yiliang originally planned to sneak into the kitchen to replenish her food and water, but just as she was leaving her hiding place, an abrupt gunshot rang out from within the villa! Terrified, she hurried back into the shrubs!
The gunshots kept firing throughout the night, and Mu Yiliang kept her eyes wide open, watching as the sky gradually brightened, until she finally couldn’t hold on and fell into a faint sleep.
Suddenly, slight footsteps sounded beside her.
Mu Yiliang woke up with a start! Her whole body tensed up!
She grabbed her makeshift stick, nervously waiting for the person to approach.
One step... then another step... Her nerves were stretched to the limit, finally unable to hold back as she took the first move!
She swung with force!
But the opponent caught her only weapon with one grasp! Mu Yiliang tried to pull it back, but it wouldn’t budge; her heart was filled with despair!
"... Yiliang." Suddenly, a low voice called softly, leaving her stunned.
The next second, a familiar face appeared before her.
Mu Yiliang stared blankly at the man with bloodshot eyes and a haggard face, and tears suddenly burst out!
The man hugged her tightly, his voice hoarse: "I’m sorry, I’m late."
No, not late at all... just in time...
She wanted to speak, but as she threw herself into the man’s arms, her tense nerves relaxed all at once, and she could no longer hold on, passing out!

This is a warmly decorated room.
The curtains fluttered with the wind, brushing against the woman standing at the window, yet she seemed unaware.
She appeared to be of a certain age, yet her brows and eyes were still charming and alluring, with full, plump red lips, a long neck, and a straight back, giving her an air of distinction.
After a long time, she finally turned around, looking at the young woman who was still asleep in the bed.
Upon closer inspection, although the two greatly differed in age, their facial features were strikingly similar.
As if sensing something, the woman in bed’s eyelashes fluttered, and she finally slowly opened her eyes.
