On the phone was a roar she knew all too well—a re four words wrapped in earth-shattering fury.
At such a mont, hearing Leng Zimo’s voice, Luo Xiaoqian’s façade of strength instantly dissolved into endless grievance, and her tears ca flooding out.
"Leng Zimo, save !"
...
...
Inside the car.
Having just driven out of World City, Leng Zimo, upon hearing the panicked and tearful voice of Luo Xiaoqian from his phone, felt his chest, full of anger, tighten abruptly.
"Where are you?"
The sa four words, yet no longer a furious roar, they were now an urgent inquiry laced with concern.
"Zhengding, Hebei, I don’t know where this is... They’re chasing ... Ah..."
From the other end of the line, Luo Xiaoqian’s voice was chaotic, accompanied by the loud sound of heavy rain.
Hearing her scream out, Leng Zimo’s heart felt as if it had been stabbed hard by soone.
"Are you okay?"
...
...
In the alley.
Luo Xiaoqian, enduring the pain, got up from the ground, and seeing several people chasing after her, she didn’t dare to delay and imdiately broke into a sprint.
"They’re chasing ... Zimo... save ..."
Like a drowning person clutching at the last straw, she ran forward, calling into the phone.
The cold rain choked her throat, and it hurt to cough uncontrollably.
"Stay calm, tell what you can see!"
On the other end of the phone, Leng Zimo pressed down hard on the gas pedal.
The royal blue Bugatti Veyron roared through the red light.
His voice seed to exude a reassuring power.
Luo Xiaoqian wiped the rain from her face, took a quick glance around, and upon spotting a white building not far away, she imdiately shouted out, "A white five-story building... Dequan Business Club..."
"Great, now, try to run towards where there are more people, I’ll be there soon, don’t worry, nothing will happen to you, I promise, nothing will happen to you, I need to hang up now because I have to call soone to co and rescue you, you need to hang on, I will co, I will definitely co!"
"Okay!"
Luo Xiaoqian gripped her phone tightly, running desperately forward as the sound of footsteps behind her grew nearer and nearer.
She reached a T-junction, panicked, she randomly chose a direction to escape through.
Seeing the lights ahead, she thought there would be people there and hurriedly increased her pace, but as she got closer, she tragically discovered that it was a construction site, and the lights were just large lamps set up by the workers.
The site, for so reason, had halted construction midway, and the vast expanse was devoid of any human presence except for the light. The courtyard was cluttered with building materials. Luo Xiaoqian stumbled into the building, not caring about the water on her, and quickly hid in a corner. Using the light coming through the windows, she noticed a beer bottle left by soone on the ground, grabbed it with one hand, and held her phone tightly with the other.
As if holding onto all her hope!
Downstairs, a few people had already chased after her.
"She must have gone into the building, let’s split up and search!"
One of them signaled with his hands, and several n dispersed to search the building, each picking up an iron pipe from the ground. A heavily tattooed, muscular man laughed as he walked into the entrance.
"Little girl, stop hiding, I know where you are!"
He chuckled coldly, tapping the staircase handrail with the steel pipe in his hand, producing a series of intermittent tallic clangs.
