Chapter 44: Fleeing in Defeat

  When Bai Cang drove to Rizhao Lane, there was already a police car parked there. Bai Cang got out of the car and came into the yard, where he saw three policemen asking Yan Qingcheng something.

  Soon, the police judged from the abnormality in the room that it was indeed a kidnapping case. Since the suspect left an address, they immediately mobilized their forces to rush to the mountain head at the southwest corner of the train station. Yan Qingcheng was worried about Zhi Xiaohui's safety and asked Bai Can to take her with him. Bai Can also knew that his daughter had often gone to the Yanqing Medical Clinic for treatment, so he didn't say a word and took Yan Qingcheng with him in the police car, rushing over as well.

  At this time, Pei Wei was still looking for Cong Ye. Knowing that Cong Ye might have gone outside the district, she shouted Cong Ye's name while searching around. Although Zhi Xiao Hui had driven Cong Ye away as soon as he returned home on New Year's Eve, they were still acquaintances and schoolmates after all. Even if it was just for Yan Qing Cheng's sake, there was no need to argue with Zhi Xiao Hui at this time.

  In a small grove of trees just south of the residential area, Cong Ye was practicing Tu Na when he faintly heard someone calling his name. He immediately stopped and ran out. From afar, he saw Bai Wei shouting and looking around, and from her movements, Cong Ye noticed that she had only thrown on an outer garment over her pajamas, and at once knew that something big must have happened. The first thing that came to Cong Ye's mind was what had happened to Yan Qing Cheng.

  "Xiao Wei, I'm here."

  Congye ran in front of Baiwei and hastily asked:

  "What's wrong, Xiaowei?"

  "Brother Congye, hurry up, Little Hui's sister has been kidnapped."

  "How could this be?!"

  "It's true, and they're coming for you."

  As soon as Pei Wei said that, Cong Ye immediately thought of Di Rong from Sifang City. It must be him without a doubt.

  "Xiao Wei, you go home and change your clothes first, I'll head to Ri Zhaohui Alley right away."

  "Brother Congye is taking me along, I'm going too."

  Bai Wei followed Cong Ye without a care, running closely behind him.

  Although Cong Ye heard Bai Wei's words, she didn't stop to wait for her and ran ahead. Suddenly, a taxi stopped beside her. Seeing Bai Wei waving at her from the car window, Cong Ye thought to herself how silly she was being. She quickly got into the car and soon they arrived at Ri Zhaoliang. However, when they got there, they found that the courtyard was empty. Cong Ye ran into the house but couldn't find Yan Qing Cheng anywhere. When she came to the east room, she remembered that last time Xiao Si had left a message for her on the mirror. Turning around, she saw that indeed there were words written on the mirror.

  "Southwest of the train station, small hill, no reporting allowed."

  "Brother Congye, where did Sister Qincheng go?"

  "The small hill southwest of the train station. Hurry, let's take a taxi there."

  "Don't worry, I didn't let the taxi go just now, it's still waiting outside."

  Congye couldn't help but admire Baiwei's composure. Despite her young age, she was able to remain calm in the face of danger, which was indeed stronger than herself.

  It turns out that Zhang Cheng was also unlucky. Last time, when Ren Yusi and Shi Dajun came, after taking away Yan Qingcheng, the first person to discover it was Cong Ye. Cong Ye was anxious about Yan Qingcheng's safety and naturally didn't have time to call the police, so he chased after them. However, this time Zhang Cheng mistakenly took Yan Qingcheng in the west wing for Cong Ye, so his plan fell through.

  Although hiding in the woods, Zhang Cheng was still paying attention to the movement on the only road at the foot of the mountain. He hadn't even caught his breath from running here when he saw two police cars coming towards him with their sirens blaring. His heart suddenly felt a pang of regret, last time Xiao Si said that Cong Ye didn't report it to the police, why did it change this time? He turned around and glared at Zhi Xiao Hui who was wrapped in a thin quilt.

  Little did she know, Zhi Xiao Hui's heart was even more anxious at this time. As soon as the holiday came back, she saw Cong Ye and her sister-in-law living in the house. After sleeping for two days, she was inexplicably kidnapped again. What on earth is going on? Is it for money or for lust? If it's for money, then the person in front of her has no vision at all. It's even more impossible to be for lust, if it were for lust, they wouldn't have brought themselves here. Thinking about being tied up, Zhi Xiao Hui was both ashamed and anxious.

  Seeing the 7 or 8 police officers getting off the car, Zhang Cheng knew that today's matter couldn't be carried out anymore. Not to mention collecting the ransom, if he was caught by the police himself, with two lives in his hands, this life would probably be completely finished.

  Turning to look at the girl in the quilt, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but take a step forward. He had used so much effort to carry her over. On the way, he wasn't without thinking that if he took in Cong Ye, it wouldn't hurt to taste the forbidden fruit. Ever since Xiao Si was discarded, he had been busy dealing with Di Rong and hadn't looked for a woman in a long time.

  Zhì Xiǎo Huì wasn't stupid, from Zhang Cheng's gaze, she had already discovered the other person's greed, and couldn't help but shudder all over, making a low humming sound of pleading from her blocked mouth. The police siren earlier, Zhì Xiǎo Huì hadn't not heard it, only that before being found by the police, her own life was in this person's hands.

  Perhaps out of spite, Zhang Cheng walked over and casually lifted the quilt off Zhì Xiǎo Huì's body. When her proud twin peaks appeared before his eyes, Zhang Cheng subconsciously stretched out his hand. Just as he was about to touch them, a loud shout came from behind him:

  "Stop!"

  Zhang Cheng didn't even have time to turn his head, and with a crouching motion, he was about to dive into the depths of the forest. But he never expected that the person behind him would move so quickly, from hearing the shout, it was only an instant, and he felt that the hem of his upper garment had been grabbed by someone. In order to escape, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to stretch out both hands to the side, using force with his chest, shaking open the buttons on his upper garment, then borrowing strength to take off his upper garment, and ran away without looking back.

  Who came so quickly? From discovering a vague figure rushing over to seeing the face of the person, Zhi Xiao Hui felt like it was just a blink of an eye. Instinctively wanting to open her mouth and shout loudly:

  "Cong Ye!"

  But forgot that his mouth was still blocked, and only made a low humming sound.

  How did Cong Ye get here so quickly? In fact, Cong Ye himself didn't expect to arrive before the police. After the taxi left Rizhao Alley, it took the only road southwest of the train station, and under Cong Ye and Bai Wei's repeated urging, it can be said that they sped all the way. When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, they saw the police car with its sirens blaring in front. When the taxi stopped at the foot of the mountain, the police had already walked a distance up the mountain. Cong Ye also saw Yan Qingcheng and Bai Can, but he was anxious to save Xiao Hui, so he instructed Bai Wei to stay in the taxi and wait, while he jumped out of the car and chose to run up the mountain from the other side of the police.

  Just after running for over a dozen steps, Cong Ye felt extremely exhausted. In his anxiety, he unconsciously directed the hot flow in his meridians to his two legs, and instantly an unexpected effect occurred. Not only did he feel as light as if he were walking on flat ground, but each of his current steps was equivalent to more than two steps when running normally. At the same time, the frequency of his leg swings also increased significantly. If Cong Ye hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would have crashed into tree trunks several times.

  With one breath, he ran to the top of the mountain and just saw a fifty or sixty-year-old old man lift up the quilt covering Zhì Xiǎo Huì and was about to touch her breasts. Chóng Yè's eyes were still ten steps away from the man, in order to prevent him from touching Zhì Xiǎo Huì, he loudly shouted while suddenly using his legs to jump forward, his entire body almost flying horizontally. Just as he arrived behind the old man, he grabbed the hem of the old man's upper garment.

  Facing the unconscious Xiaohui, Cong Ye hastily walked over and first covered her with the old man's clothes that he had torn off his hands. Only then did he reach out to pull out what was stuffed in her mouth. Although he didn't take a close look, Cong Ye still recognized it as a girl's underwear.

  "Wow, wow, wow."

  Zhì Xiǎo Huì seemed to have forgotten the scene where she drove away Cong Ye, and suddenly rushed into Cong Ye's arms, hugged his back with both hands, and burst into tears.

  Cong Ye was at a loss for how to comfort Zhi Xiao Hui, with both hands stretched out to the sides, not knowing whether or not to put them on Zhi Xiao Hui's body. Just as Cong Ye was feeling extremely awkward, the police and Yan Qing Cheng rushed over. Yan Qing Cheng quickly walked over, picked up the quilt from the ground, draped it over Zhi Xiao Hui's body, and gestured for Cong Ye to hold Zhi Xiao Hui.

  Because Zhi Xiao Hui was only wearing a simple shirt that she had snatched from the man's body earlier, when she rushed into Cong Ye's arms, the front of her shirt naturally opened up. As a result, Zhi Xiao Hui's full breasts were squeezed between the two people's bodies. Now that Yan Qing Cheng wanted him to pick up Zhi Xiao Hui, however, whether it was the shirt or the quilt that Yan Qing Cheng had covered over Zhi Xiao Hui's back, they only blocked the view of her body from behind. If he bent down to hug her, it would inevitably expose Zhi Xiao Hui's chest once again to everyone's gaze.

  Cong Ye didn't say a word, grasped the two sides of the quilt covering Xiao Hui's body with both hands, gently turned around, and became back to Xiao Hui. Then he squatted down and put Xiao Hui on his back.

  The police all went into the woods to chase that old man, Cong Ye carried Zhi Xiao Hui on his back and followed behind Yan Qing Cheng, with Bo Can's assistance, they walked step by step towards the vehicles parked at the foot of the mountain.

  Cong Ye thought to himself, the police probably won't be able to catch that person. Judging from his reaction earlier, he's definitely skilled. If it wasn't for being worried about being held back and surrounded by the police, Cong Ye was afraid he wouldn't be a match for him either.

  All the way up the mountain, they ran hastily. When Cong Ye arrived at the top of the mountain, he was also panting heavily. Now, carrying Zhi Xiao Hui down the mountain, his breathing became heavier and heavier.

  "Are you tired? Why don't we take a break first?"

  Yan Qingcheng had been paying attention to Cong Ye's expression and saw that he was already having a hard time, so she couldn't help but advise him.

  "It's okay, it'll be over soon."

  At this time, Bai Cang had a heart to say a word for Cong Ye, but it was really hard to say. The scene just now, he saw clearly, the little wisdom on Cong Ye's back, is basically lying naked on Cong Ye's back. How could he replace Cong Ye? Can only hold back and not speak, pretending not to see Cong Ye's fatigue.
