The Personal Bodyguard of the Female CEO

Julia has five uncles, but only two of them have real power to compete for the throne. The others mostly depend on the forces of these two. But now everyone has the possibility of ascending to the throne. As long as the real murderer is found, one can ascend!

This way, the original two factions instantly split into five.

Before, there was no chance, so it was fine. But now, with the opportunity right in front of them, even if they lack strength, they must fight for it.

Moreover, with the King assassinated, there are a lot of hidden things in this affair. On the surface, Julia's uncles seem to be the biggest suspects, leading to a dog-eat-dog situation.

People speculated that the young Little Princess might really become the future King of Lesotho.

Meanwhile, Wang Dadong and King Kong continued to search everywhere for news about Piao Xue.

...

The sun slowly approached the horizon, no longer so fierce, and Piao Xue asked Lu Qi to collect all the spent bullet casings nearby.

"Sister Piaoxue, what are the bullet casings for?" Lu Qi was very puzzled.

Piao Xue's backpack was already heavy enough; it didn't seem right to add these useless bullet casings.

Piao Xue smiled faintly, "Maybe they are useless now, but at the critical moment, they are life-saving objects."

Although Lu Qi didn't understand what use these bullet casings could have, she didn't ask further. Since Piao Xue said they're useful, they must be useful. She was able to survive entirely due to Piao Xue's abnormal survival skills, or else she would have been dried up by the Scorching Sun on the first day in the desert.

Hence, she mostly believed everything Piao Xue said.

However, there was one thing she didn't believe Piao Xue about, and that was that someone would come to rescue them. The only satellite phone they had to contact the outside world had completely stopped working, so even if someone wanted to rescue them, they wouldn't know where they were.

Furthermore, to rescue people in the desert not only meant dealing with harsh environments but also avoiding searches from Lesotho soldiers. It seemed that saving them was not far from death.

On the seventh day of Piao Xue's entry into the desert, the number of search helicopters increased, and even some unmanned reconnaissance drones flew overhead.

"We can't stay in the desert any longer." Piao Xue's expression was very grave.

Though the desert environment was harsh, it lacked cover. One or two helicopters couldn't easily spot them, but with the growing number, the risk of exposure increased significantly.

And the most troublesome were the drone reconnaissance planes equipped with biological sensors. If they hadn't buried themselves in the scorching sand when the drones flew over, they would have been discovered by now.

"Can we still get out of the desert?" Lu Qi never thought they could leave the desert because the Lamagan Desert isn't large, and if they could leave, they would have done so already.

Actually, Lu Qi didn't know that the reason they hadn't left was that Piao Xue intentionally wandered in circles in the desert. The desert was a natural barrier, and no one would risk their lives to search for an unidentified spy.

Even soldiers wouldn't want to get involved.

She didn't understand why the number of searchers seemed to have increased several times recently.

"We can!" Piao Xue's voice was hoarse due to dehydration, yet it still carried an undefinable confidence.

"Beyond the Lamagan Desert is the jungle; once we're there, the planes won't be able to find us."

"The jungle? Wonderful, we can finally leave this damned desert..." Lu Qi was so excited, she wished she could grow wings and fly to the jungle.

Once in the jungle, there would be no more scorching sun, and there'd be plenty of water and food... the very thought made it seem like a place as glorious as heaven.

However, Piao Xue sighed internally. If the jungle were truly that good, why would she endure so long with Lu Qi in the desert?

To ordinary people, the jungle was the real killer, full of poisonous insects, snakes, ferocious beasts, and deadly swamps. Lesotho soldiers preferred to search the jungle rather than the desert.

But to avoid becoming easy targets, Piao Xue had to lead Lu Qi out of the desert.

Nearly exhausting their last bit of strength, the two finally reached the jungle's edge.

"They've searched the entire desert and found no trace; they must have entered the jungle. Send people into the jungle immediately. We must see them whether alive or dead!"

"This concerns whether or not I can ascend to the throne. I must be the first to find her!"

"Mobilize all forces..."

Julia's uncles were nearly going mad because they received news that the King's death seemed related to the spy on the run!

Hence, everyone began frantically searching for the legendary spy.

A warrior who traversed the Lamagan Desert without any materials or supplies.

On a military helicopter.

"Brother Da Dong, won't this get your sister-in-law killed?" King Kong didn't understand Wang Dadong's actions at all.

The connection between Piao Xue and the King's death was spread by Wang Dadong through Julia.

"Piao Xue has been in the desert for nearly ten days. She can't hold out much longer; we must find her quickly." Wang Dadong said very calmly.

"But aren't you afraid they'll kill your sister-in-law?"

"No, I let Julia release the news that Piao Xue is connected to the one who killed the King, not that she herself killed him. So if they catch her, they will certainly keep her alive."

"But..." King Kong wanted to say something but closed his mouth. What he could think of, Wang Dadong must have thought of too.

If Piao Xue were caught, although her life wouldn't be taken, she would definitely undergo severe torture!

The notorious cruelty of the Lesotho people towards prisoners was well known. A Huaxia Dragon Group Warrior once fallen into their hands, chose to bite the tongue and commit suicide after three days and nights of torture, despite his will being as strong as iron.

And Piao Xue was a rare beauty; who knows what those savages might do.

King Kong's thoughts were well within Wang Dadong's expectations. But between Piao Xue enduring endless torture and death, Wang Dadong chose to let her live.

Living was always better than dying, even if Piao Xue no longer remained pure because of it and ended up hating him...

Clang!

A sound almost indiscernible to an ordinary person echoed among the decaying leaves. It was the sound of two bullet casings colliding.

Originally resting against a tree trunk, Piao Xue quickly stood up and quietly disappeared into the darkness.

"Captain, look, we've got a sighting!"

A Lesotho Warrior excitedly waved to the captain behind him. After days of searching, they finally found the legendary female spy!
