Meanwhile, Gabriel went out with a large number of people to search for Lan Xiaoling.

He was in a hurry, his eyes cold and sharp. He rushed through the streets, constantly calling out Lan Xiaoling's name.

"Master Lu, I'm leaving. I'm sorry that my presence has put you in a difficult situation. I know you're grateful to me, so you've always been reluctant to drive me away.

However, you have to make a choice between my sister and me. If you keep hesitating, it will only shatter the relationship between my sister and me, and it will be difficult to repair.

To prevent that day from coming, I've decided to leave and give you, my sister, Yuanman, and Yuanbao a beautiful and happy future.

Master Lu, thank you for taking care of me recently. Don't look for me!"

This was the letter Lan Xiaoling left behind. She chose to leave to fulfill the happiness of their family of four.

But where could she go all alone and helpless?

Gabriel's heart ached slightly. He admitted that he had feelings for Lan Xiaoling.

It was precisely because of his disloyalty in love that both sisters had been hurt.

However, in his damn memory, he just couldn't find any fragments of his past with Xiaolan.

What on earth was going on?

Could it be that he had never liked Xiaolan at all, and everything was just a false lie?

Gabriel felt extremely confused and panicked. He couldn't accept Lan Xiaoling's departure.

At this moment, all he wanted was to find Lan Xiaoling.

He believed there must be a way to achieve a win-win situation.

"Master Lu, we've searched everywhere around here, but we haven't found her."

"Master Lu, we've also searched near the infirmary, but Miss Lan is nowhere to be seen."

"Master Lu, we've sent people to search the mountain, but there's still no news yet."

One by one, his subordinates came back to report, but all the news was fruitless.

Gabriel was extremely anxious. This place was sparsely populated, and since the establishment of the Dark Web had offended many people in the past, what if Lan Xiaoling encountered their enemies?

"Keep searching! Search every inch of this place and find her for me."

His voice was hoarse and tense due to nervousness.

His subordinates responded affirmatively and quickly scattered to continue the search.

As for Gabriel, he stared blankly at the gloomy sky, his heart empty, as if he had lost something extremely important.

Lan Xiaoling had no idea that because of her departure, Gabriel had mobilized all the people in the Dark Web to search for her everywhere.

Dragging a suitcase, she walked towards the roadside.

There were hardly any people here. There was no bus stop at all, and not even a single taxi was in sight.

Moreover, except for the Dark Web headquarters, there didn't seem to be anyone around.

Lan Xiaoling didn't know how long she had walked. Her legs started to ache and feel weak, so she found a clean place to sit down and rest.

She didn't know where to go. In this vast world, it seemed that there was no place for her to belong.

At this moment, she felt deeply lost about the future.

"Boss, there's a woman over there!"

Suddenly, an excited male voice came from the forest behind her.

Lan Xiaoling didn't realize the approaching danger. She massaged her swollen calves, took a few sips of water, and then planned to keep walking.

If she didn't leave here soon, once Gabriel caught up, she really wouldn't be able to leave.

But just as she stood up, a group of people rushed out from behind and surrounded her.

"Not only is she a woman, but she's also a beautiful one!"

A man holding a pistol walked out of the crowd.

Judging by his manner, he should be the leader of this group.

Lan Xiaoling had never been in such a situation before. Terrified, she turned around and tried to run away.

However, as soon as she took a step, the leader grabbed her wrist from behind and gave her a hard push. She stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground.

"Take her back and make her our lady of the stronghold."

Lan Xiaoling was terrified. She supported herself with her hands and backed away step by step.

These were bandits from the mountain. They had just come down to see if they could find some easy targets to rob. Unexpectedly, they had come across such a beautiful woman.

How could they let Lan Xiaoling go so easily?

"Let me go. I have money. I'll give you money."

Lan Xiaoling's hand scraped against the ground and broke the skin, and it was still bleeding.

Upon hearing this, the leader burst into laughter. "I want both the money and the woman. Take her away!"

...

Bradley found Qin Gou and inquired about Freya's condition.

Qin Gou was doing an experiment at the moment. After hearing what Bradley said, he shook his head helplessly. "Leonard, before I removed the snake gu from Freya, I had already told her about these possible situations. It's just that it didn't flare up before, but now it's occurring frequently, which proves that this sequela has a latent nature."

"Can it be cured?" Bradley asked anxiously.

Qin Gou shook his head. "Freya contacted me before, and I've been trying to find a solution. But I still have no clue after all this time. I've been researching an antidote, but..."

Bradley's bright eyes dimmed instantly. Suppressing the pain in his heart, he asked solemnly, "What will happen if she doesn't receive treatment?"

Qin Gou didn't hide anything and said straightforwardly, "The vertigo will get worse and worse. In the end, she will be too weak to move and will have to stay in bed all year round."

In other words, she would be equivalent to becoming a disabled person.

Bradley's body trembled uncontrollably several times, and he staggered back a few steps.

He couldn't accept this fact and didn't even dare to imagine what he would do if Freya had to stay in bed all year round.

"Freya knows her own situation. She has been using acupuncture to control the frequency of the attacks. However, recently, it seems that she can't control it anymore."

He had always been in touch with Freya and asked about her condition, so he knew Freya's illness very well.

Bradley was very emotional. He tightly grasped Qin Gou's arm and said in a hoarse voice, "Save her no matter what."

Qin Gou said, "Don't worry. I'll do my best, but... I can't guarantee that it will definitely work!"

The snake gu was extremely venomous.

It had taken him a great deal of effort to successfully detoxify Freya back then.

Now, he had no confidence at all in removing Freya's sequela.

Just as Bradley was about to say something else, Yun Xiangcheng called and said that Freya had woken up.

He didn't stay any longer. He rushed to the rest room immediately. The moment he opened the door, Freya was leaning against the headboard with a dazed look in her eyes.

She didn't react when Bradley approached her. It was only when he waved his hand in front of her eyes that her eyes focused.

"Husband, you're here!"

Freya's voice was a bit hoarse, obviously caused by exhaustion and lack of water.

Bradley went to pour her a glass of water and let her drink it to moisten her throat. Only then did Freya's throat feel better.

"How do you feel now?" The man's voice was full of concern.

Freya looked up at him and smiled. "I'm already better. I'm fine now."
