Diego promised.
-Well, Mr. Carlos, you take care of yourselves too.
Although he deliberately parked under a dense bamboo grove, he still feared that the helicopter in the sky might spot the cat. As soon as he closed the car door, Diego accelerated and deliberately increased the sound of the engine.
Carlos took Micaela’s hand and turned toward a more secluded area deep in the bamboo forest….
Micaela felt a little uneasy and looked back as the car went out of sight down the winding lane….
Carlos held her hand tightly, his ears attentive to the sounds around him, his eyes searching for a place to hide, the car coming after him would soon pass this way….
The dry, yellowing leaves underfoot slipped a little, and Carlos held the woman’s hand tightly as he explained:
-Be careful.
The helicopters in the sky would definitely not be able to see them, but still, they could not be taken lightly. Since the man had launched the helicopters to keep an eye on their movements, he would definitely not easily give up this opportunity to hunt them down.
The sound of the car engine was getting closer and closer, Micaela could not help but also have a moment of panic, the bamboo forest looked very lush from above, on the ground, the gaps between the bamboo could not hide anyone at all….
Fortunately, bamboo is not the only thing growing in the bamboo forest, Salamonsa people also make full use of the land, deep in the bamboo forest away from the road, there are also shade-loving plants, one like a tea tree, more than a meter high, from the ground is the branches, very lush, a row is planted a few meters away, quite neat….
Before the cars coming behind could pass, Carlos picked her up and crouched behind the row of plants, sat down on the fallen leaves and the little girl stayed in his arms while the cars “whizzed” by a short distance down the road, at least a dozen….
Carlos wrapped his arms around the woman in his arms and suddenly let out a low laugh.
Micaela, with her back pressed against Carlos’ chest, startled and still breathing a little agitated, thinking that if she had arrived later she might have been discovered by the people in the car, heard Carlos’ laughter and turned her head sideways to ask:
-What are you laughing at?
Carlos obediently deposited a kiss on the delicate cheek that came up to him.
-I really didn’t expect to experience a ‘jungle escape’ with you, I found it quite refreshing.
Refreshing?
It’s the excitement…
At this moment, the birds singing in the bamboo forest and the whisper of the wind blowing the leaves are in your ears, and the air is filled with the clear smell of bamboo, which makes you feel a little relaxed….
Carlos hugged her tightly and his thin lips ran along her neck, smelling the fragrance of her body and darkening his voice a little.
-Is Micaela scared?
Micaela shook her head and turned to hug him.
-I’m not afraid.
With him, she’s not afraid at all, it’s just that, at this hour, Mike is usually asleep and will be up to play for a while, with only a bottle of milk for him, and she’ll have to feed him formula if she can’t come back in a while…..
-Sara will take care of her son, don’t worry.
Carlos knew what she was thinking in general and took the initiative to speak up.
Micaela nodded in his arms and tried to get up, supported by him.
-Good girl, wait a little longer.
Micaela was startled.
Is there a car?
How many men were chasing them?
Indeed, after a short while, several more cars passed, the speed of the cars slowed down considerably, and looking through the gap between the leaves in front of me, I could see that the car windows were down, and that someone was looking out the window….
Carlos frowned, the man was determined to get rid of them today….
-Carlos, could Diego be in danger?
Micaela unconsciously lowered her voice and asked, so many people and so many cars chasing her, she was very restless in her heart….
-Diego will hide, this bamboo forest is huge and it’s not so easy to catch a person. Besides, the plants in front of us are good for hiding.
He said, frowning, he reached out and picked up a leaf, the leaf was thick, as big as a dollar coin, he brought it to his nose and smelled it, there was a faint fragrance….
Micaela, also curious, looked at the plants in front of her and asked:
-Is it a tea tree?
Look like, but not like, tea tree that is aware of, like the sun, it must be well cared for, here so shady, not seeing the sun all year round….
Carlos, who had also seen the plant for the first time, said he was not sure, and Micaela, unconcerned, looked around and asked, somewhat uneasy:
-What do we do now?
Carlos took out his cell phone and there wasn’t a single bar of signal.
This shithole…
He put the phone away, put the woman on her feet and looked openly.
-Don’t worry, out of her sight, we can find our own hidden route back to the city while we wait for help.
Only, with her idea that the man was determined to get rid of them, he would inevitably circle the entire mountain, and, as the mountain road was difficult to follow, it would be no less difficult to actually avoid the cement road and walk out of this bamboo forest, which was also his first visit….
There was a pause, an expression of relief on Carlos’ face as he looked at the woman in his arms.
-Seeing this, the people who are going to kill us must be very powerful people in Salamonsa, Nilson and your mother must have guessed who it would be and will go to mediate, until then we just have to not get caught by those people.
After a second’s pause, he ducked his head and gave her a kiss on the lips.
-Girl, let’s say we’re going on a bamboo date.
…
At that moment Nilson was on his way to Villa Echave, he was already on his way back to Pesla City, when he received a call from Carlos and after deploying reinforcements to go there, he wanted to go himself, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to Dona Echave first.
In all of Salamonsa, the only one that has its own helicopter is Ciudad de los Dragonesfamilia Obregon!
It must be the men of the Obregon family who are after Carlos and Moya!
He recalled the meeting in the Assembly Hall where Efraim’s gaze had repeatedly landed on Carlos….
Could it be Efraim?
But what are his motives?
The car stops and Nilson pushes the door to get out and strides inside.
After hanging up the phone Carlos called Yerma and told her his situation, at that moment both Yerma and Mrs. Echave were in the living room, Yerma looking distressed and worried….
Obviously everything was fine before, how come Moya and Carlos were chased to Zhushan in a short time….
Nilson walked straight to Mrs. Echave, who was sitting on the sofa, and knelt down.
-Grandmother, call back the Obregon family and ask who is going to do this to them and why.
Dona Echave, whose real name is Si Xianglan, is an aunt of Nicolas, Lord of Dragon City, and it would be quicker to ask Nicolas through Dona Echave, than to ask him himself….
Dona Echave, however, asked:
-Nilson, has it occurred to you to think that Carlos is a descendant of the Obregon family?
Nilson paused and looked at Dona Echave in disbelief. So the grandmother had known that Carlos’ parents were also from Salamonsa?
No, wait, what did she say…
-What do you mean, grandmother, Carlos, descendant of the Obregon family?
Mrs. Echave, nodding slowly, with the thoughts roaming through her mind, looked aside at Yerma and said after a long while:
-From the looks of it, Carlos would be the son of Patricia and Nicolas Obregon.
A more pronounced startle crossed Nilson’s face, and a flash of familiarity flashed through his mind just now in the Assembly Hall, looking at Efraim for a split second, before realizing that the familiarity he felt differently at that moment was actually because he looked a little like Carlos!
Now that the sideways faces of the two men were overlapping in his mind, he was only more certain that, yes, their silhouettes, which resembled each other, and the original form, were Nicholas, Lord of Dragon City….
Yes, it should have occurred to him that Charles’ parents were both from Salamonsa, and with the strong aura of nobility that pervades him, his parents must have been the best of the best in Salamonsa….
Yerma was even more incredulous and stumbled twice before she could stand up….
Is Carlos really the son of Patricia and Nicolas?
How is it possible that Patricia and Nicolas did not see eye to eye at that moment, they were at odds, and Nicolas had been married to his current wife since they were children, he could never imagine that Patricia would have a child with him….
Nilson thought of something and took a breath, knowing what Dona Echave was referring to, and stood up, with an unmistakable tone:
-It was Efraim Obregon who planned this persecution! He already knew Carlos’ identity!
Nilson’s brow furrowed, aware of an even greater misunderstanding: that he, without further ado, had taken the blame for Efraim!
