The moment Tang Suiyu’s feet hit the ground, her whole body relaxed.
She walked in the middle of two people, glancing around. Since Ye Gushen didn’t like her and wouldn’t fancy such a young girl, why didn’t he just let her go!
Moreover, where did the other person go?
As they continued walking, the leader disappeared, leaving only one man watching her.
She knew speaking too much would lead to mistakes, so she dared not say a word!
She had to find a chance to get this man on her side!
"I’m so tired! Can I take a break? I want to eat something!" Tang Suiyu suddenly sat on a stone by the roadside.
The man stared at her through his sunglasses, "One minute!"
"That won’t work; I can’t finish a cookie in one minute! I didn’t have breakfast, and I’m too hungry to walk!" Tang Suiyu started eating a cookie.
As she ate, she drank some water too.
The man kept staring at her at first, but after a while, his gaze wandered elsewhere.
Suddenly, Tang Suiyu stood up, holding a bottle of water, and handed it to him, "Brother, have some water too! I don’t even know how long it’ll take us to get down the mountain. You’re really kind, helping me even though we’re strangers!"
The man stiffened, looking at her innocent face like morning dew on the mountain. Was she really that naive, or just pretending? Who said he was taking her down the mountain?
"Will you drink it?" Tang Suiyu smiled lightly, her small face smudged from crying last night, but her amber eyes still shone brightly, "It’s really good! Keep yourself hydrated, or we’ll get exhausted!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fiɾe·net
The man softened for a moment, took the water, and drank a few gulps.
"Let’s go then!" Tang Suiyu then cheerfully stood up and walked ahead, deliberately taking very slow steps.
Their footsteps sounded particularly clear in the forest.
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
Tang Suiyu looked back at the man who had fallen to the ground and started running.
Fortunately, she still had medicine in her bag!
She ran with all her might, through dense forests and thickets, her clothes getting slashed in several places.
Suddenly, she heard gunshots.
She shivered and ran towards the direction of the gunfire.
Her already pounding heart raced even more, like minced meat for dumplings, twisting painfully.
As if sensing something, "Uncle Ye..."
Through the dense branches and leaves, she saw Ye Gushen, his cold, handsome face stained with blood, several spots already discolored.
Standing tall and upright in the middle, a few people had fallen not far away, his dark, cold eyes filled with a bloodthirsty chill, his thin lips slightly pursed, hands firmly gripping the gun.
Behind him, Lin Shang was not faring any better, the situation was even worse.
Ye Gushen wasn’t speaking to Tang Suiyu, but to Lin Shang!
Tang Suiyu slowly approached, her gaze meeting those eyes she had long missed.
"Uncle Ye..." she called softly.
Ye Gushen, who never shook his head, now squinted slightly and gently shook his head.
Ruannuan, don’t come over!
After being hunted for days, Ye Gushen and Lin Shang had run out of bullets, and close combat left them with numerous wounds.
Tang Suiyu was about to rush over but saw a shadow in front of them, so she leaned against the thick trunk, holding her breath, motionless like a stump.
The man’s figure seemed familiar, walking step by step towards Ye Gushen, seemingly holding her necklace!
Why did that figure look so familiar?
