Chapter 50

Shen Tang continued to stumble forward, with many cuts on her face, arms, and very sore feet.

But she dared not stop.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the lights and noise behind her were getting closer and closer. Did this mean they hadn't been discovered?

A smile appeared on Shen Tang's taut face.

The sky was gradually getting brighter, which was not good for hiding.

Shen Tang looked left and right, and all around were just trees.

Suddenly, she heard a snoring sound.

Anyone snoring here must not be human!

Shen Tang followed the sound and discovered a large boar with fierce fangs, currently sleeping soundly.

In no time at all, she thought of a good idea.

She quickly climbed up into the trees with several large rocks she found nearby and waited.

The trees here were tall with thick branches. Shen Tang's position was very high that no one would notice her if they didn't look up deliberately.

She didn't have to wait long before those people caught up.

Shen Tang was extremely nervous, her heart pounding as if it would jump out of her throat at any moment.

She hugged the rocks tightly, staring intently at the group, and swallowed.

"Damn it, when we catch those sluts back, break their legs!"

"Pah! You bunch of useless fools to let a group of women escape!" Knife Scar was furious that the ducks about to enter his mouth had flown away. What would they deliver tomorrow?

"I don't know how they managed to pry open the window..." Yellow Hair said.

Knife Scar was provoked seeing Yellow Hair and viciously kicked him. "Damn it!"

Yellow Hair stumbled to the ground, not daring to make a sound. Shen Tang sat high up in the tree and watched them get closer and closer. "What's that sound?"

"Who the hell is snoring?" Just as he finished speaking, the group realized something was wrong. Who would snore at this time?

At that moment, Shen Tang heavily smashed the large rocks towards the boar.

Bullseye!

The boar suddenly awakened and the first thing it saw upon opening its eyes was the group holding lamps.

The anger from being hit caused the boar to snort twice. After scraping its hooves twice, it charged towards them.

"F**k!"

"A boar!"

"Run!"

The group scattered in terror. Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief on the tree. Her plan had worked!

A boar's power was fiercer than a tiger's. Soon afterwards, wailing sounds could be heard.

Shen Tang watched with wide eyes as some had their stomachs ripped open and intestines pulled out, covered in blood.

She closed her eyes in horror, extremely relieved that she had discovered this early.

But she did not regret it. These people had probably ruined countless girls. Their deaths were too light a punishment!

The sky was getting brighter. She wondered if the police had come and if Gu Huaian had discovered she was missing.

Shen Tang pinched the ring on her hand, lost in thought.

The sun slowly rose. Shen Tang's position was very high. Through cracks in the branches she could vaguely see the sunrise. The magnificent sight cleansed the gloom in her heart.

How nice, it's daylight.

She really lived to see the next day's sun. She wondered how the other girls were.

On the other side, Gu Huaian's people and the police had found the warehouse from last night but no one was there.

Gu Huaian had an extremely ugly expression. He deeply regretted working overtime last night and not noticing Shen Tang's disappearance sooner.

Yet he also felt relieved. Fortunately, he had given her the ring, otherwise who knows where they'd have to look. Maybe...

Thinking of a certain possible outcome, Gu Huaian's expression became darker.

"Evidence shows the victims seem to have run out by themselves."

"Definitely Shen Tang's doing." Gu Huaian firmly believed.

It must have been her. She was so smart and strong, she definitely would not have an accident.

Shen Tang, wait for me! The team continued to search based on the ring's positioning.

Meanwhile, the girls had lain flat on the ground the entire night, unmoving even when crawled over by insects.

They relieved themselves on the spot. Now was not the time to care about dignity compared to their lives.

Until daylight, all their limbs had become stiff and cramped.

The most severely injured girl mumbled softly, "Shen Tang will be alright..."

"She will definitely be fine, she's so capable..." Another girl clenched her fists tightly, not knowing if she was trying to convince others or herself.

"Wah..." Someone started crying loudly first, and the rest immediately followed suit.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching and the crying immediately ceased while they held their breaths.

Could it be them who found us...

"Over here!"

Hearing the voice, their hearts sank, it's over!

"Don't panic, we're the police!" The female officer slowly slid down and parted the branches.

Indeed this place was extremely hidden.

Now that it was bright out, plus her professional skills, otherwise they really wouldn't have found them.

When they saw the police uniforms, the girls instantly broke down again, unable to control the turmoil of emotions pent up the entire night.

"There are injured here!"

Gu Huaian had searched around and grabbed a girl asking urgently, "Where's Shen Tang?"

The girl he grabbed didn't care about crying anymore and quickly recounted everything from last night.

Gu Huaian felt a bit angry yet also proud. This was his Shen Tang!

The girl he loved.

The positioning from the ring was still further ahead and hadn't moved for a long time. He didn't know if Shen Tang was hiding there or if the ring had dropped.

This was an undeveloped deep mountain forest. Anything could happen. The longer it took to find her, the more danger she would be in.

The team split into two batches. One escorted the girls back and the other continued searching for people and to catch the criminals.

As the team moved forward, they discovered several dismembered corpses in succession. Gu Huaian could no longer stay calm.

Huge fear filled his heart as his limbs turned cold and his mind went blank.

Impossible. Shen Tang would definitely not have an accident!
