Chapter 2349 1 The scissors cut the escape rope

Jiang Wan stood guard at the door to keep watch for him.

Given Qiao Liancheng's abilities, retrieving all the information and data from this computer wouldn't take long at all.

What he needs to do now is to copy the firewall and key from this computer.

Because some computers can still function normally on their original network and IP address, it's like the computer has a memory function.

However, once the hard drive is removed, moved to another location, and given a different IP address, it becomes problematic.

Many things inside will be locked, making it difficult to access the original software and background smoothly.

This is why Qiao Liancheng insisted on turning on the computer here and doing some work first.

He spent 10 minutes copying the keys and important data from the computer.

Then, I unplugged the power and removed the hard drive. These actions were done smoothly. I put the hard drive in my backpack, and I was all done!

He slung his backpack over his shoulder and called out to Jiang Wan, "Hurry up, we're ready."

Jiang Wan agreed, locked the door from the inside, and instead of going outside, opened the balcony window.

They took out a rope, tied it around their waists, and jumped from the third floor.

The rope is specially treated so that the knots on it will slowly loosen, slowing down the downward trend.

This is a prop used temporarily under special circumstances.

The height of the third floor is easily manageable.

As they jumped, gunshots rang out nearby; it was likely that security guards were firing at them.

However, there weren't many shots fired.

The gunfire below was chaotic; someone was clearly using suppressive fire, and it was unclear who was shooting whom.

Just as Jiang Wan and Qiao Liancheng were jumping down, the door to the computer room was kicked open.

The man in black who had been in a secret conversation with the eldest son of the Tang family rushed over. He glanced at the computer and knew that the hard drive had been taken.

He rushed to the windowsill and peered down.

At this moment, Jiang Wan looked up as if she had a premonition and immediately saw the mask.

I also saw those familiar eyes.

However, it was only familiar; I still couldn't remember who the owner of the eyes was.

Jiang Wan frowned and quickened her movements. Just as she was about to land, the mysterious man took out a large pair of scissors and snipped the rope that Jiang Wan was hanging from the windowsill.

At this time, Jiang Wan was about five or six meters above the ground.

The rope snapped, and Jiang Wan's body fell freely towards the ground.

Jiang Wan knew very well that she wouldn't die from falling from that height.

It could easily result in a broken leg or a back injury. If you're really unlucky and damage the nerves in your lower back, you might be paralyzed for the rest of your life.

Moreover, she knew very well that no matter how badly she fell, Qiao Liancheng would never abandon her.

The worst-case scenario is that she falls and knocks herself unconscious, and then Qiao Liancheng finds a way to carry her away from there.

Even so, she still felt somewhat depressed and hopeless.

Jiang Wan and Qiao Liancheng jumped out of the window together, and their knots were the same.

This knot prevents a person from falling too quickly; it pauses the fall approximately every one or two meters.

This slowdown allows the body some breathing room.

When you finally land, you won't fall too badly.

This limited their landing time; Jiang Wan's rope was cut, and she plummeted rapidly towards the ground.

Qiao Liancheng saw this and wanted to rush back to save her.

But it was too late. He had to untie the ropes binding him first before he could go and rescue the people.

But a drop of five or six meters can happen in the blink of an eye, and you'll fall to the ground.

Therefore, Qiao Liancheng was extremely anxious, but powerless to do anything about it.

Just then, a black shadow suddenly darted out and caught Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan had already prepared herself mentally, and closed her eyes to wait for the outcome.

She could clearly feel that she was no longer falling, but she didn't feel any pain at all; it was as if something was embracing her.

At first, I thought it was Qiao Liancheng. Before I even opened my eyes, I could smell a strange odor.

The smell is somewhat like the stench emanating from tigers and lions in a zoo.

She hurriedly opened her eyes and was surprised to see a pair of bright, dark eyes.

Those eyes held a deep sense of innocence and naivety, yet also a hint of curiosity.

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Wan recognized the man as the black-haired boy who had been imprisoned in the cage next to Qiao Liancheng when they entered the backstage area earlier.

Jiang Wan hurriedly struggled to stand up, and the black-haired boy grinned at her.

Jiang Wan sincerely thanked her, saying, "Thank you for saving me."

The young man shook his head.

He gestured to her, then replied in a stiff tone, "No need."

"You saved me first."

The boy's voice was a little hoarse, and there was something else about it that was hard to describe.

It sounded a bit like the friction sound of porcelain colliding, somewhat harsh and unpleasant.

But you can tell he's trying very hard to speak.

Jiang Wan was a little confused at this moment, not understanding why this child would save her.

At this moment, Qiao Liancheng also landed and ran over to look Jiang Wan up and down to check if she was injured.

Jiang Wan shook her head to indicate that she was fine, and the two of them looked up at the third-floor window at the same time.

But they discovered that the mysterious man in black was no longer there.

Jiang Wan hurriedly turned back to Qiao Liancheng and said, "Now is not the time to study that. The explosives are probably about to detonate. Let's go quickly."

Qiao Liancheng nodded.

He pulled Jiang Wan outside, and after taking a couple of steps, he saw that the black-haired boy was still standing there without moving.

So Qiao Liancheng turned around, grabbed the black-haired boy's arm, and pulled him out.

While pulling him along, he said, "Quick, get out of here, it's going to explode."

The black-haired boy was still a little confused, but he knew that Qiao Liancheng and Jiang Wan were both good people.

The two of them rushed backstage and rescued him.

He was grateful for this, so he followed the two without saying a word.

Following their original plan, the two found a passage and ran wildly towards the outside.

After running for about five or six minutes, they saw Baihu and his group coming to meet them. Baihu waved to them as they arrived:

"Here, come here quickly."

Qiao Liancheng agreed and quickly rushed over.

At this moment, everyone also saw the black-haired boy following behind Qiao Liancheng and Jiang Wan.

The black snake frowned and asked, "Where did you find this?"

"This child looks only fifteen or sixteen years old; he's been poisoned."

Jiang Wan was somewhat surprised: "Isn't he just atavistic because he has an excessive amount of male hormones?"

"What's this disease called again? Is it polyandry or something?"

Jiang Wan scratched her head, indicating that she couldn't remember clearly, but vaguely remembered hearing someone mention it.
