Long Shengjie saw how cold she was and had no choice but to compromise. "Fine, I'll agree then. But, don't blame me for being chased away by Diao Lang. There are so many wild beasts here."

"That would still be better than being crushed by that devil Long Haochen." Ye Jia mumbled in a low voice. After hearing him agree, she immediately felt relieved. She was excited and could not wait to run away with him.

"Who are you talking about?" Long Shengjie asked curiously. Ye Jia shook her head, "No, you heard wrong. Young master, you should go to sleep first. I promise to finish the jigsaw puzzle in three hours. When you're done, I'll get you to fulfill your promise."

"Alright." Long Shengjie could do it in three hours' time. He nodded excitedly, and then jogged towards the bed. Ye Zichen crawled into the blanket with the big cotton shirt and went to rest obediently.

Ye Jia was afraid that he would freeze, so she pulled up his blanket and walked into the bathroom. She washed his body which still had the smell of Long Haoxuan's body. Afterwards, she put on her clothes and kneeled on the floor, beginning to follow the heart path she had seen in Long Haochen's room.

Fortunately, she had memorized the whole thing, otherwise it would have been impossible for her to complete it in three days, let alone three hours. Right now, she couldn't wait to quickly spell out the picture and then leave the Dragon Residence. In fact, she knew that her rush was useless. At the very least, she had to wait for Long Haochen to fall asleep before she dared to flee. Otherwise, it wouldn't end well for her to be caught by him!

Three hours was Ling Chen's three o'clock time. By that time, Long Haochen would definitely be asleep. The other male servants and maids must have fallen asleep as well. It was the perfect opportunity to escape!

Three hours later, a large pattern identical to the one on Long Haochen's room appeared. Ye Jia finally let out a breath of relief. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she turned around and walked over to the bed. She then pulled Long Shengjie out from under the bed. He swayed him and said, "Hey, young master, wake up."

Long Shengjie closed his eyes and mumbled to himself before turning around to continue sleeping.

Ye Jia's mind raced as she whispered into his ear, "Little Young Master, Second Young Master is back. He's asking you for a jigsaw puzzle!"

"Ah ? Second Brother?!" Long Shengjie instantly jumped up from the bed, his hazy eyes searching left and right. "Has second brother returned?" he asked. Where is it? "

Ye Jia was amused by his cute look. She pointed to the big jigsaw puzzle on the ground, "My mission is complete. It's your turn."

"What should I do?" Long Shengjie didn't know if he was pretending or not, so he asked with a pair of innocent eyes. He slipped his hands on the edge of the bed and ran towards the jigsaw puzzle, exclaiming excitedly, "Wow, Ye Jia, you're so bad!"

"If you dare to go back on your word, I'll ?" She was scared and excited. If everything went well, she could leave this place and hope that the little brat in front of her could help her!

"Hey ?!" Long Sheng's outstanding hand blocked her movements, afraid that she would really mess up the jigsaw puzzle. He hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll bring you there, but it will be very miserable if Big Bro catches you. Big Bro really doesn't like people who aren't obedient." Long Shengjie kindly reminded. In fact, he was very afraid of Long Haoxuan, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, who asked him to ruin Long Yingjie's item like that?!

"I'm not afraid!" Even if there was only a one in a million chance of that happening, she would still try to escape. Even if he caught her and beat her up, she would admit it. Leaving this place had always been what her heart desired!

Long Shengjie still had some lingering fear in his heart. He took off his cotton cap and made a silent hand gesture to Ye Jia. Quietly opening the bedroom door, he stuck his head out the door and looked around to the left and right, only to find that no one was there.

Ye Jia was afraid of alarming the others, so she didn't even bother to wear her shoes anymore. She followed Long Shengjie's footsteps barefooted.

The long corridor was lit only by the dim light from the lamps on both sides of the corridor. It was so quiet that one could clearly hear their own breathing. Ye Jia's heart started beating rapidly. She was scared but also extremely excited.

The two of them walked down the spiral staircase one after the other, avoiding the black-clothed people as they moved towards the backyard. In the darkness of the night, Ye Jia saw an old plum tree leaning against the wall from a distance. Long Shengjie was leading her towards that direction.

Ye Jia was furious. Didn't this little guy tease her earlier? He even lied that he was just joking around. He clearly could have escaped from the Old Plum Tree!

Even the cautious one who didn't dare to make a single sound, Ye Jia, only dared to curse Long Shengjie in his heart. From time to time, he would turn his head to look at the direction of the courtyard.

When they finally reached the old plum tree, Long Shengjie pointed at the tree trunk and spoke to Ye Jia in a low voice, "I always leave from here. Try and see if you can escape."

Ye Jia looked up at the two heads taller Plum Tree. To be honest, it was hard for her to climb it. She had never learned how to climb trees since she was young. At this moment, she hated herself for not learning how to climb trees when she was young.

"I can't climb up!" Ye Jia had a depressed look on her face as she looked at Long Shengjie with a wronged expression.

Long Shengjie rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Useless trash, watch me." After saying that, he held onto the thick tree trunk and climbed up the tree like a monkey. Ye Jia looked at his crisp and clean hands. She was extremely envious of him, but she didn't know how to make such a difficult move. She looked around and found a few casual chairs near the swimming pool. It might be useful if he was prepared to drag a piece to cushion his feet.

"Young Master." Just as he turned around, he heard a respectful male voice sounding out in the darkness of the night.

Ye Jia was surprised, while Long Shengjie screamed out in fear. His tiny body slid down to the ground. Ye Jia exclaimed, instinctively reaching out her hand to grab his body that was smashed into the ground.

In the end, both of them tumbled to the ground, letting out howls like wolves.

The man outside the wall didn't expect to scare the young master so he jumped over the wall and rushed to Long Shengjie's side and asked: "Young master, are you alright?" "Where did it fall?"

The other men in black who heard the sound instantly rushed over. Ye Jia's mind buzzed with a loud buzzing sound. He thought to himself: I'm finished!

Long Shengjie rubbed his sore butt and glared at the man in black who was trying to scare him. "You're scaring me. How can I possibly be alright?!" I want to tell Big Brother! "

The black-clad man nervously nodded, trying his best to apologize. Although it was Long Haochen who told him to guard this place well tonight, it still frightened this young master. Even if he had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough. Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have just carried him off the stage and left!

Long Shengjie got up from the ground and patted the grass on his pants before pulling the stunned Ye Jia up. "Alright, you guys scram. We're going out for a walk."

"This ?" The man in black stood there awkwardly. Long Haoxuan had predicted that someone would want to escape tonight, which was why he ordered Long Shengjie to stay on guard. Of course, he couldn't let Long Shengjie go, especially not Ye Jia!

Ye Jia was stunned. She stared at Long Shengjie in confusion, before looking at the group of men in black that surrounded her. This brat wanted to take her out? Did he have such great ability? How she wished she had such a chance!

It was a pity that the heavens could not do as she wished. She, Ye Jia, had been living a lowly life since she was young!

"Shengjie, go back to your room right now!" A ghost-like voice pierced the silent night sky. It wasn't a loud voice, but one that caused one's hair to stand on end.

The black clothed man automatically stepped aside. Ye Jia saw the tall and handsome figure standing a few steps away from her, using his evil eyes to size her up. Her heart skipped a beat. She didn't know what kind of disaster awaited her next. She didn't know because Long Haochen's method of torturing others was too strange.

"Big brother, we just want to sneak out and see the stars." Long Shengjie anxiously explained.

Ye Jia looked at him gratefully. She didn't expect him to help her. After all, she was still a child. A pure and kind child, she was the only normal person she had ever met in the Long Residence.

"The stars in the yard and outside look exactly the same. Next time, you don't have to sneak out to take a look. Go back and rest!" Long Haochen's cold voice clearly showed his displeasure, and Long Shengjie was led away by a black-clad man. Long Shengjie turned around to look at Ye Jia before he left, his beautiful eyes filled with worry for her.

After Long Shengjie left, Long Haoxuan lowered his head to look at Ye Jia. He sneered, "Miss Ye, did you really sneak out just to see the stars?"

Ye Jia stubbornly looked at him and said calmly, "You don't need to talk nonsense here. If you want to kill me, do it. It is my misfortune to be in your hands this life. But I will not beg you to let me go."

"Very good, you have character!" Long Haochen lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, giving her a dreamy smile, and sneered, "Miss Ye, I have to tell you, you are too naive." Do you think you can escape from the Dragon Residence? "

"Even if there's only a one in a million chance of that happening, I'm still willing to give it a try!" It was very likely to be used as humiliation and bullying!

Long Haoxuan sneered, and looked at her with disdain, "Since you've already tried it, should we stay peacefully in the Dragon Mansion in the future?" "Miss Ye, your method of bribing the people is very clever. You actually managed to make Shengjie willingly help you escape."

Escape?! As long as he thought of these two words, Long Haochen's anger was born from the depths of his heart. This bold woman actually dared to play with him and run away? Did she not want to live? Since he didn't like living a peaceful life so much, he would prepare her for it!

Ye Jia looked at him fearlessly and mocked, "It is not because of my brilliant skills. Although the young master is still young, he is already a man with a conscience. Unlike you, a bloodthirsty devil, perverts can kill others for pleasure. Long Haochen, your heart has already been twisted to the point of being devoid of humanity, so you will forever live in hatred, and will never obtain happiness. One day, you will drown in the world of hatred that you have created! "

She didn't know where his hatred came from, nor did she know his relationship with Long Tianming. Why did he only allow Long Tianming to harm her for three to two days and not allow her to rescind her marriage? Long Haochen! He was too domineering!
