"Be careful!" Shen Jingyu did not hesitate; at such a moment, every second counted!
Su Xing, walking alongside him, said, "There are eight of them, all in this villa!"
Sister-in-law Yingwu remarked, "This information is very valuable!"
Luo Haoxian spoke without thinking, which was why he made such a comment. They had already scouted the area and confirmed that there weren't many people around; reinforcements wouldn't arrive that quickly.
However, they overlooked one thing: the deep mountains surrounding them.
As Shen Jingyu led Su Xing downstairs, the fighting had already begun. With the cover of the others, they managed to make a head start.
Not long after, the other six followed closely behind.
They ran for a full ten minutes before escaping into the woods through a narrow underground passage.
Su Xing finally understood why Shen Jingyu smelled so bad.
She couldn't help but laugh when she saw him pull out a wet wipe and repeatedly scrub his face. "I remember you being a bit of a neat freak. How could you still walk through that underground waterway?"
"Who was it all for?" Shen Jingyu looked at Su Xing with a hint of melancholy in his eyes; her face was smeared with dirt as well.
Even though it was nighttime, it didn’t hinder Shen Jingyu from noticing how her porcelain-white face had changed. Over these three days, she had grown haggard and thin.
"I remember you didn't have a cleanliness obsession," he said.
"Huh?" Su Xing looked at him in confusion.
"I may not be a neat freak, but I do like to be clean! In this situation, smelling so bad is uncomfortable for both of us!"
But what Shen Jingyu really meant was that he wanted to express how much he missed her during these days and perhaps alleviate some of his fears.
So, despite Su Xing's own reluctance about their state, he kissed her lips passionately and wholeheartedly.
It was a kiss filled with emotion, yet neither of them found fault with the other.
Su Xing could feel his excitement. She leaned against his neck and softly asked, "Have you been worried about me these past few days?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Even when Shen Jingyu pulled away from her lips, he still held her waist tightly.
He had heard some faint sounds coming from the waterway; if not for that, he would never have let her go so soon.
When did you realize I was missing?
At six in the morning, to pick you up for the marriage certificate!
In an instant, Su Xing felt tears welling up.
If you can’t find me this time, can you still get the marriage certificate with someone else?
Su Xing had thought about this countless times over the past two days. Was she really going to lose him before she even married him?
What nonsense! Shen Jingyu thought, wondering why this woman had become so insecure.
If you’re gone, then I won’t exist in this world either.
Hearing his words, Su Xing felt a shock in her heart!
Shen Jingyu's eyes were filled with both affection and seriousness.
No way.
But in this world, he had no one else he truly cared for.
Everyone around me can live without me, but I can’t live without you.
I don’t want to go, Su Xing's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, but Shen Jingyu still heard her clearly.
Then let’s go get the certificate. This is real now. Anyway, Zhan Ying has already gotten involved, so it’s not a matter of urgency anymore.
Su Xing fell silent. At their age, could they really be so reckless? Even if it was time, it wasn’t something to rush into!
In just a few minutes, the other six people that Shen Jingyu had brought along arrived.
Shen Jingyu exchanged a glance with Luo Hao and knew that the eight people inside had been dealt with.
This place isn’t safe; we need to leave immediately.
Shen Jingyu looked at the messy grass beneath his feet and the branches scattered along the path ahead, then squatted down in front of Su Xing: Get on my back.
No! I can walk by myself; don’t waste everyone’s time, let’s hurry!
Su Xing was grateful she had changed into a pair of comfortable slippers; although they weren’t as comfortable as sneakers, they were much better than high heels.
Shen Jingyu knew that sometimes this woman could be stubborn; he had no choice but to stand up and say: Stay behind me and hold onto the hem of my shirt. Under no circumstances are you to let go; if there’s danger, jump onto my back immediately.
Shen Jingyu needed one hand to hold the flashlight while using the other to carry a stick, always alert for any signs of danger.
Luo Hao followed behind Su Xing while the others split into two teams, walking slightly apart on either side.
Sister-in-law, what have you been through these past few days? You seem to be doing alright; Brother Yu has been worried sick! He hasn’t slept a wink for two days and nights!
Luo Hao might have talked too much, but his questions were exactly what Shen Jingyu wanted to ask.
He has been looking for me all this time?
Indeed, I have never seen him so anxious before, nor have I witnessed him act so recklessly in the past few days. This is Luo Hao, who, after spending these two days by Shen Jingyu's side, has seen another side of him and feels quite moved. In truth, Shen Jingyu has always been a person of deep emotions and strong convictions.
Su Xing looked at the imposing figure before her, realizing that he was someone she could rely on.
I still don’t know who kidnapped me.
I did see the face of that assassin. He charged quite a hefty fee and drove me to a mountain where there was a hidden helicopter. He flew me to an estate, and his commission must have been over a hundred million.
I thought I was worth quite a bit. But then there was a man at the estate who looked at me and had me sent to a slave market instead.
That’s when Lawrence bought me.
But I suspect that Lawrence is connected to that auction house; he might have gotten me without spending any money at all.
By the way, he said he knows my mother! Could he be one of her suitors?
Most likely, he is keeping me here to threaten my mother.
Su Xing was just speculating wildly; her mind was still in chaos, especially with what Lawrence had said, which left her feeling suspicious and perplexed.
Did you meet the person who brought you here? Did he say his name was Lawrence? Shen Jingyu asked suddenly.
Yes, did you find out about him? Is that why you came to rescue me?
Shen Jingyu responded with a faint hum but didn’t tell Su Xing that her mother and Mu Beiyao were already on their way.
Ke Su Xing took the initiative to ask: Does my mom know about my situation? Has this Lawrence secretly contacted her?
I’ve been looking for you; I haven’t paid much attention to things back home.
Shen Jingyu didn’t want Su Xing to start worrying just yet.
Well, once we get out of here, I should call my mom. Do you have a phone, A Yu?
Yes, we can call once we’re outside! Shen Jingyu didn’t want Su Xing to find out about Zhan Ying so soon. But he had arrived too quickly!
Even now, Shen Jingyu still thought this incident was orchestrated by Zhan Ying. He never expected it was merely a coincidence caused by Han Ruoxi that led Su Xing to meet this ridiculous Lawrence!
As they followed the route for half an hour, Duan Yu suddenly sensed something unusual ahead.
It seems we’ve taken a wrong turn? The marks I left when I came through are gone.
