Before Yu Huan could react, Ye Ling suddenly grabbed Yu Huan’s hand and whispered, “Run!”
Yu Huan was taken aback. Before she could ask, Ye Ling pulled her and they started running ahead.
At the same time, voices suddenly emerged from both sides of the previously quiet road.
“They’ve run away, catch up quickly!”
Only then did Yu Huan realize that someone had been hiding on both sides of the road, spying on them.
‘Who are those people? Perverts? Bandits?” Yu Huan asked in an anxious tone.
Ye Ling frowned, feeling deeply perplexed.
She had suddenly become aware that something was amiss, probably a result of the aftermath of Lin Fang’s attack. Ye Ling seemed to have developed a heightened sense of danger.
After realizing that things were off, Ye Ling carefully identified the surroundings and noticed a faint, unpleasant sweat odor in the air.
Undoubtedly, it wasn’t their scents. This meant that there were other people hiding in the vicinity!
As Yu Huan and Ye Ling continued running, they could see several men behind them. A glance by Ye Ling made some of them seem vaguely familiar.
They were Wang Gang’s men!
Ye Ling clenched her teeth and said to Yu Huan, who was slowing down, “I’ll stop them. You go and get help!”
“Are you out of your mind? How can you, a young girl, stop those bandits?” Yu Huan was surprised.
Yu Huan didn’t know who these people were, so she labeled them as bandits.
In broad daylight, these people were hiding and spying on two girls. A single glance revealed they were not up to any good!
“I have a plan, now go!” Ye Ling urged with a sense of urgency.
Yu Huan’s physical condition wasn’t great. If they both ran together, they’d inevitably be caught by those people.
Those people were after Ye Ling. She didn’t want to involve Yu Huan, and she had some self-defense skills. Sending Yu Huan for help was the best course of action.
Ye Ling’s tone was determined, and after a moment of hesitation, Yu Huan gritted her teeth and agreed, “Alright, wait for me!”
Ye Ling abruptly stopped, turned to face the group of people behind her, and held a vial of powder that she had already taken out.
Meanwhile, Yu Huan continued running forward, her breathing ragged.
Ye Ling coldly confronted the men before her, sneering, “A bunch of men bullying two girls. You guys have no shame.”
One man at the front seemed ashamed by Ye Ling’s words and awkwardly spoke, “We have no choice. Min Nan is protecting you, and we can’t find an opportunity. Young girl, our boss likes you. Just come with us. We promise not to harm you.”
Ye Ling felt nauseated and disgusted. How could Wang Gang, that despicable man, still be pursuing her?
Ye Ling twisted her wrist and, not wanting to waste time, prepared to throw the vial containing poisonous powder. But just then, a cry of “Ouch!” came from not far behind her.
It turned out that Yu Huan had tripped over a stone while running.
Ye Ling hesitated for a moment before her heart sank.
The person who had gone to catch Yu Huan slung her over his shoulder and returned. He said to the man in front, “Brother Ding, this is a buy one get one
free deal.”
The man named Brother Ding nodded. “Let’s bring them back together. We’ll see how the boss arranges this.”
A few men attempted to approach Ye Ling, but she grimaced. “Don’t touch me, I’ll walk on my own!”
At the moment Yu Huan tripped, Ye Ling had already thought of several plans, but ultimately decided to give up resisting.
The group was scattered and numerous. Even if she initiated an attack, the potions wouldn’t affect them all. Furthermore, with Yu Huan’s leg injured, even if she could escape, Yu Huan wouldn’t be able to.
The group was after her. If they caught her, they probably wouldn’t harm Yu Huan. But if she managed to flee, they’d be concerned she’d report to the police, and they might resort to something terrible against Yu Huan.
After careful consideration, Ye Ling decided to temporarily abandon resistance and conserve her strength.
If she and Yu Huan didn’t return on time, Min Nan would undoubtedly notice soon. He might even link this situation to Wang Gang.
Ye Ling sighed inwardly, feeling extremely unlucky.
If she could get through this crisis, she vowed to uncover the person who had stolen her luck!
The group of people Wang Gang had sent took Ye Ling and Yu Huan along a side path up the mountain. By the time they reached the forest farm, the sky had already darkened.
Ye Ling saw a row of red brick houses on the mountainside. There was also a tall wooden watchtower beside them, and a red flag was planted in the open space in front of the red brick houses..
