"She can't escape," said the man who had been waiting, before he turned around and chased after Luo Youyou.
They were in the middle of a suburban forest, and it was night. Luo Youyou stumbled along the way, calling for help as she ran. However, not only was her voice especially clear in the empty woods, but the person who was chasing her was getting closer and closer.
When Luo Youyou heard the sounds behind her, she became extremely scared and panicked. Without realizing that she had reached the hillside, she suddenly found that her foot came down to empty air, and she immediately rolled down the hill.
The man who was chasing after her wanted to continue the chase, but his sharp eyes suddenly noticed a light! How could there be people here in the middle of the night? Not wanting to bother too much with it, he quickly turned around to look for his companion. "Quickly, someone is coming up here."
"Where's that little b*tch? She dared to attack me. If I don't kill her, I swear I won't be human any longer!" The driver cursed as he covered his bloody eye.
"She rolled down the hill. She's probably been crippled, even if she hasn't died yet. There aren't many people here and there's no one to care about her. She's sure to die eventually. Let's go first."
...
When Luo Youyou woke up again, she felt groggy. She tried to move but found that her body felt as if it had completely fallen apart. She could not help but cry out in pain.
"You're awake?" A familiar voice sounded.
Luo Youyou turned her head and saw that it was the gigolo. Upon seeing him, Luo Youyou felt disbelief. For a moment, her brain was unable to react. "You saved me?"
"Sort of," Li Guihan said slowly. When he realized that something was wrong, he had sent someone to investigate Luo Youyou's whereabouts. By the time he had gotten the news, more than two hours had already passed.
The bodyguard informed him that Luo Youyou had gotten into a disguised taxi that had already left the city. Thus, he had quickly led some people to chase after it. In the end, they had found the injured and unconscious Luo Youyou. By that time, the kidnappers had also run away.
"Thank you."
Luo Youyou's feelings were very complicated, but her gratitude was real.
However, Li Guihan's gaze remained as cold as ever as he spoke, "You shouldn't thank me, you should thank yourself. You were really lucky! When you rolled down, you were blocked by a tree branch, which is how you managed to survive. However, you received some cuts from the tree branch, and the depth of the wounds is varied. The doctor said that there might be scars, so you should be mentally prepared for it."
Feeling that she was already very lucky to be alive, Luo Youyou did not care about anything else. However, there was one thing that she did not forget. "What about the two kidnappers? Have they been caught?"
"No," said Li Guihan as he shook his head, "The forest is too big, so it wouldn't be easy to find them. Moreover, they should be repeat offenders, so they would be very familiar with that area. Their car would also be disguised, so there's no way to get to them at the moment."
"I can't believe they managed to escape. I even stabbed one of them in the eye. I thought that they wouldn't be able to escape."
Luo Youyou's heart was heavy. Both of the kidnappers had escaped. Without a witness, how was she going to find out who was behind their scheme?
Perhaps it was because he had seen through her thoughts, Li Guihan tried to comfort her, "I'm just saying that we have no way to get to them at the moment. However, it's not like the police have not found anything. You should recuperate first."
Luo Youyou did not refute this. Now, whenever she moved, she felt that her whole body was in pain. She could not even get out of bed, so what else could she do?
City A First Hospital.
Shen Wenqi held the chicken soup that she had prepared for her mother in her hands as she pushed open the door to the hospital ward.
She saw that Shen Jinhan had just put down the phone, her face beaming with joy. She pulled her daughter to her side and said in a low voice, "I just received news that the matter has been settled."
"Really?" Shen Wenqi was also very excited. "Mom, this means that we won't have to worry anymore."
"Yes, my heart is finally at ease," Shen Jinhan said leisurely before telling Shen Wenqi, "I've already gotten rid of your obstacle, so you must now learn to be smarter in the future. Your father is a person who likes people who obey him. Don't contradict him and just behave obediently."
"Don't worry, I won't be as stupid as Luo Youyou," declared Shen Wenqi as her eyes filled with smugness. When she thought about how the entire Luo family fortune would be hers in the future, she suddenly felt a little dizzy. Then, she said worriedly, "Mom, are you sure you've succeeded? There won't be any mistakes, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Yutao suddenly walked in with a dark expression on his face.
Seeing Luo Yutao's sudden appearance, Shen Wenqi's heart jumped in fright. Subconsciously, she looked at Shen Jinhan.
Shen Jinhan also had not expected Luo Yutao to make such a sudden appearance. However, when she noticed Luo Yutao's dark expression, she said weakly, "Why are you here? Isn't the company busy?"
Luo Yutao did not answer Shen Jinhan's question. Instead, he just sat on the sofa with an unpleasant expression on his face and looked at Shen Wenqi. "Do you know where Youyou is?"
