On the phone was a roar she knew all too well—a mere four words wrapped in earth-shattering fury.
At such a moment, hearing Leng Zimo’s voice, Luo Xiaoqian’s façade of strength instantly dissolved into endless grievance, and her tears came flooding out.
"Leng Zimo, save me!"
...
...
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 same 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 me... 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 someone.
"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 immediately broke into a sprint.
"They’re chasing me... Zimo... save me..."
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 some 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 someone 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!"
"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 metallic clangs.
