Seeing Liu Lin’s pale face, Min Nan’s tone grew even colder. “You’re well aware of what you did to her back in Stone Village. But now that Ye Ling is in Willow Village, let me warn you, you better rein in all those sick thoughts of yours.” Liu Lin stared at Min Nan in disbelief. “You think she was raped by Wu De because of me?”
Min Nan’s eyebrows furrowed. “Watch your language.”
Liu Lin sneered. “Did I say something wrong? Even if Wu De didn’t rape her, he must have touched, hugged, and kissed her…”
“Shut up!” Min Nan’s eyes blazed with a reddish hue, exuding a sharp, threatening aura. Liu Lin felt the hair on her body stand on end, and the warning system in her body frantically sounded the warning signal.
Min Nan was genuinely angry.
Liu Lin spread her hands. “Alright, I won’t say anymore.” Liu Lin checked her watch. It was almost time.
“Min Nan, you’ll never see your Ye Ling again!”
With one final glance at Min Nan, Liu Lin turned and left.
Min Nan’s brows furrowed, holding back his anger, he turned and headed back to the ancestral hall.
However, upon reaching the ancestral hall, Ye Ling was nowhere to be found.
Initially, Min Nan thought Ye Ling might have returned early, not waiting for him.
While he felt Ye Ling wouldn’t do that, he couldn’t dismiss the possibility. After returning home without finding her, Min Nan discovered Ye Ling hadn’t rptllrnpd pithpr Onlv thpn did ho rpnli7P thnt enrnpthincr hnd hnnnpnpd tn Vp
Ling.
Several members of the Wan family searched near the ancestral hall. Failing to find her, Min Nan immediately sent Wan Xue to find Dai Wei, while the rest continued to expand the search.
Dai Wei arrived shortly after, seeing Min Nan and the others looking grim, he hesitated and asked, “Haven’t you found her yet?”
Min Nan raised his head abruptly, his reddened eyes fixed on Dai Wei. “Go get a police dog. ”
Dai Wei chuckled wryly. “Do you think we’re in the city? Where am I supposed to find a police dog?”
As Dai Wei finished speaking, he noticed Min Nan’s expression grow even darker. His aura turned ominously heavy. He hurriedly added, “I can apply for one from the city. Don’t worry, I’ll head there now.”
Wan Feng’s panic escalated at Dai Wei’s words. “By the time you get back, Lingling might be in a life-threatening situation!”
Dai Wei fell silent at Wan Feng’s words.
Amid the intense and oppressive atmosphere, Wan Xue, who had accompanied
Dai Wei, whispered, “Why not let Big Yellow give it a try?”
Sun Li’s eyes brightened, and she nodded eagerly. “Yes, Big Yellow is quite clever. Maybe Big Yellow can find Lingling. ”
Big Yellow was a stray dog adopted by Aunt Hua. It was remarkably intelligent and even seemed to “understand” many commands.
A glimmer of hope lit up Min Nan’s somber eyes.
Following that, Sun Li and Wan Xue went to borrow the dog from Aunt Hua, while Min Nan and the others continued their search.
Late at night, Aunt Hua and her husband, Tie Niu, arrived. A somewhat scraggly-haired yellow dog followed them.
Aunt Hua fretted, “Still no sign? How could a well-behaved person just vanish like that?”
Tie Niu’s voice trembled with concern, “Could it be human traffickers…”
Before Tie Niu could finish, Aunt Hua stomped on his foot. “Shut up if you can’t say anything sensible!”
Tie Niu winced in pain and covered his mouth.
“Hurry up, let Big Yellow smell Lingling’s clothes,” Aunt Hua urged anxiously.
Sun Li hurriedly fetched Ye Ling’s clothes and presented them to the yellow dog.
Big Yellow was indeed sharp-witted. It seemed to understand the group’s intention and carefully sniffed Ye Ling’s clothes. Then, wagging its tail, it turned and dashed off in a direction.
“Hurry up, let’s follow!” Wan Hai urged.
Pain.
Searing pain.
Ye Ling was brought back to consciousness by the excruciating agony. As she opened her eyes and attempted to catch her breath, a spurt of blood gushed from her mouth. The sensation of her bones nearly breaking overwhelmed her, and tears streamed down her face.
After a moment, Ye Ling forced herself to shift her gaze. She realized she was suspended from a tree growing on the cliff’s edge. Lowering her head, she saw a broken branch embedded in her calf, the wound a gruesome mess of blood and flesh.
Seeing that the tree below her was still sturdy, Ye Ling endured the risk of fainting from the pain again and pulled out the branch.
The intense pain caused her facial features to twist and her entire body to tremble.
Following that, Ye Ling endured the pain and covered her bleeding wound. Her consciousness sank and entered the small world.
The moment she entered the small world, Ye Ling collapsed onto the ground..
