Chapter 545: Life in Danger

Lily has not seen Hawk for two days since he presses her down on the bed in neck and makes her
almost suffocate to death. She stays in this room and rarely goes out apart from going to the bathroom.

There are two people guarding the corridor outside the door. They are armed with guns. She does not
know their language, nor can they speak Chinese. Therefore, they have no communication these past
few days.

At first, Lily stays in the house very carefully, but on the third day, when she still doesn't see Hawk, she
suddenly realizes that he must have gone somewhere else.

The thought she suppresses in mind shows out. Occasionally, she will go to the window to look at the
situation outside, and she will also go to the bathroom more frequently so as to observe the
surroundings.

Lily finds that the wooden house is built on the river, and she has to take a boat if she wants to leave.
But she finds that the river is not as deep as she imagines, and she can even stand on a shallow place.

She becomes even more excited. She changes her sluggish appearance a few days ago and begins to
obey all the rules here to eat on time and save her strength.

Finally, on the night of the third day, Lily says that she has to clean her wound and wants to take a
shower in the river. So, she leaves the wooden house.

She thinks that she is fighting for her life, but unexpectedly, she leaves her only safe area.

Surprisingly, the two guards agree. They bring her to the river bank with guns. The river bank is about
two to three hundred meters away from the wooden house. The surface of the river is not wide, at most
twenty meters. However, the river water is not particularly clear. Instead, it is muddy yellow. Especially
when Lily steps forward with one foot, she stirs up a lot of mud and sand at the bottom of the river.



She pretends to be bashful and turns around. She points at her clothes and tells them to turn around.
They look at her suspiciously. However, seeing that she is alone and there is no place for her to
escape, they cooperate and turn to the side.

Lily slowly unties her clothes. The more she walks into the river, the faster her heart beats. She even
suspects that the two guards can hear her heartbeats. Running away or not has become Lily's most
anxious choice now.

If she fails to escape, she might die.

If she doesn't escape, no one can tell what will happen in the future.

Lily cannot ignore such an opportunity. Hawk isn't around, and Bagot doesn't show up this afternoon.
Only this group of people from Country Y is left. As long as she leaves across the river, she will be
safe.

Lily looks down at the river. She doesn't have time to hesitate, and she has to leave!

She observes the two men beside her and walks into the river step by step. Her hair is pulled up in
advance. She takes off her clothes and only keeps her underwear. Very quickly, the river water passes
her neck. Lily does not stop and continues to walk towards the center of the river.

The muddy water is about to drown her lips. She takes a deep breath and buries her whole body.

The river water finally surrounds her. Under the water, she can no longer hear anything. Everything is
quiet.

Lily is too nervous, so she cannot hold her breath for too long. She forcefully endures the discomfort
and opens her eyes, trying her best to explore in the muddy river water.



On the bank of the river, the two men chat with each other for a while. After waiting for about five
minutes, they do not hear Lily. They ask impatiently in the dialect of Country Y, but they do not receive
any response.

When they turn around, there is nothing in the river. Lily disappears.

Apart from the small waves on the surface of the river, it is very calm. They immediately pick up their
guns and look towards the river bank. Just as they are about to look in two different directions, Bagot
suddenly appears behind them.

Knowing that they have lost Lily, they are extremely nervous. They are afraid that Bagot will blame
them and kill them. Just as they are about to explain, Bagot raises his hand and interrupts them, "Don't
say anything."

He stares fixedly at the surface of the river. He cannot see anything clearly under the waves. The two
guards don't know what he meant, but they listen to his order and they don't move or talk.

After a while, Bagot suddenly raises his pistol and shoots towards a direction on the river.

The bullet enters the water and creates a small splashing of water, which then disappears.

There is nothing.

He frowns and continues to shoot twice into the water. At the same time, he instructs the two guards in
Country Y's language, "Cut off the upper and lower entrances of the river. She's hiding in the water.
Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

The news of Lily escaping quickly spreads everywhere. All the subordinates near the wooden house
are standing on the riverbank. A local guy with excellent water quality wants to go into the water to find



someone, but Bagot stops him. "No. Use a gun to force her out."

The riverbank is quiet. The quiet night becomes serious because of the situation on the riverbank. No
one dares to neglect it and waits quietly by the side.

Normal ordinary people will hold their breath under the water for no more than five minutes. Now that
she is already three and a half minutes into the water, no matter how much she can endure it, she must
come out.

The upper and lower entrance of the river have been cut off. Bagot is not worried that she can escape
underwater. The river is so wide and deep. The bottom of the river is not complicated. She has no other
way.

Bagot clenches his gun and aims at the surface of the water. It is clearly only a few minutes, but it
makes people feel extremely long. Every second is frightening.

Suddenly, in the darkness of the night, there is a big ripple in the middle of the river. Bagot does not
hesitate to pull the trigger. Unfortunately, the water is not stained with the color of blood.

Five minutes is gone.

Bagot narrows his eyes and searches carefully without letting go of any corner. Everyone holds their
breath and waits, not daring to make any mistake.

Under the water, Lily almost suffocates to death. Her lungs begin to ache faintly. While holding her
breath, she has to dive to prevent her body from surfacing. However, after a long time, she cannot hold
on any longer.

It's so uncomfortable, but if she goes up, she'll be captured...



She swims across the river and it is blocked at both ends. She has no way to go.

Will she die in this way?

It is quiet around and she can only hear her heartbeats. With the lack of oxygen, her heartbeats
weaken a little.

She has to go out, otherwise she will lose her life at the bottom of the river. If the people above lose
their patience, they will go to the river to catch her.

She breathes a sigh of relief. Lily closes her eyes and relaxes her body. The huge buoyancy of the river
immediately pushes her entire body towards the surface of the river...

Bagot looks at the river and quickly see her. It only takes him two seconds to confirm that it must be a
human!

The five fingers holding the hilt of the gun adjust their angles. The pitch-black muzzle of the gun is
aimed at the figure, and his index finger presses down strongly--
