Chapter 117 Escape

re.Xu Yixue didn't mind and continued, "Minhan she..."She hadn't finished speaking."We're married," Chen Zean said as he raised his teacup, took a sip, and then continued, "We registered three months...Gu Xicheng drove all the way to An Du Shan. It was pitch black, and the closer he got to the sea, the more terrifying the howling wind seemed to be gathering on the waves. Getting out of the car made it impossible to walk normally, let alone use an umbrella.

Gu Xi Cheng also had no time to find an umbrella.

Before getting off the bus, I sent Xiao Ting a location and immediately ran towards the small hill closest to the sea.

The closer I get, the more inexplicably panicked my heart becomes.

It was pitch black, the torrential rain made the dirt road impassable, and the heavy raindrops stung my face, blurring my vision.

I rushed to the inside and outside of the cave, my eyes met with pitch black... I carefully snuck in, no one was there, it went very smoothly.

Looking at the open hut door, Gu Xicheng went inside. There was a wooden chest, a broken chair, and mottled bloodstains on the ground...

His eyes narrowed, his fingers clenched tightly. He stared at the bloodstains that were still wet, but instead of leaving immediately, he carefully examined the surroundings... Then he came out, scanned the environment around him, and lowered his head to look at the ground... It's a pity that the rain washed away all traces that could have been left behind.

Gu Xicheng chuckled wryly.

Judging from the scene, she probably ran away.

It was just this heavy rain that cut off any clues she might have left for herself. But at the same time, there is also something to be grateful for.

She must have escaped.

With a sharp glance, his eyes finally landed on the forest several dozen meters away from the cave dwelling. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he followed suit, charging into the heavy rain.

Goal — a forest like the gaping maw of a monster.

Xu Yixue didn't know where she had arrived. Her vision was blurry, and she was constantly being scratched by branches, but she didn't dare to stop.

I'd heard of An Du Mountain before, but I'd never been here. I wasn't familiar with this place at all, so I could only stumble around in the dark.

The sound of the storm raged in my ears, accompanied by the howling wind whipping through the branches, a constant "swish-swash". Every now and then, there would be a flash of lightning followed by a deafening rumble of thunder.

On a stormy day, with lightning and thunder raging through the forest, navigating its depths is undoubtedly not a wise choice.

But she had no choice.

With those people relaxed and underestimating themselves, she kicked a piece of wood with her foot, injuring three of them and hurting herself in the process. In that situation, she couldn't possibly run to where there were people for help. She could only run towards the forest.

I'm truly grateful that I learned martial arts with my brother and Brother Leng back then, as it allowed me to fight them off. However, after becoming obsessed with reading, I gave up on practicing.

The dense forest provided her with ample cover. All she had to do was avoid being caught by them.

"Hiss"

A soft sigh escaped her lips involuntarily. Her foot seemed to have tripped on something, and she stumbled, almost falling to the ground. She barely managed to steady herself against a tree, bringing her descent to a halt.

Gasping for breath, she hid behind a large tree, wondering if the next second would bring a bolt of lightning striking her. She strained her ears, listening intently for any sound of pursuers.

Raindrops hit the leaves, branches collide, and the wind howls... There is no dull sound of running feet on the ground.

The dense foliage did block a good deal of the rain, but having run through it for so long, she was already soaked to the bone. Her body had been pushed beyond its limits.

Without intending to, I raised my hand and looked into the darkness. The mountain was shrouded in darkness, nothing but darkness, not a single lamp. I couldn't see anything else.

After a brief rest, Xu Yixue continued her journey. She dared not linger for too long, fearing they would catch up to her.

Perhaps they're not far away, just the terrible weather better hiding their tracks.

Xu Yixue looked up, but it was too dark to see anything. She then reached out her hand to feel the wind direction...

Feeling the wind direction, I made sure of it as much as possible before carefully and cautiously moving forward...e investigate Shengyu Group again, and the information is still the same as before—too clean.” There was something deep meaning in those words.Xu Hengwen suddenly turned his head to look at him, a sha...
