Chapter 51

After crashing into several people, the wild boar wandered around before returning to its original location. Shen Tang guessed this was likely its main base.

She sat in the tree shivering uncontrollably, constantly praying in her heart for it not to find her, for it not to find her...

However, this time, luck was not on her side. After staggering around twice, the wild boar still discovered her.

The wild boar snorted and backed up a few steps before violently charging at the tree!

Shen Tang hugged the tree tightly, but still swayed from the impact.

Not long after, the tree shook a second time.

This would not do. Although this tree was thick, it could not withstand the wild boar's brute force.

Shen Tang steeled her heart - it was now or never!

...

Upon arriving at the location, the group only saw blood stains on the ground, with no sign of Shen Tang.

Because of the wild boar, most of the human traffickers were either dead or seriously injured.

Gu Huaian pursed his lips in a straight line.

He took off his suit and calmly unbuttoned his cuffs, rolling up his sleeves. He threw a punch at Scarface.

"Where is Shen Tang?"

One had to admit, even his moves for punching people had a sense of beauty.

Scarface was baffled. He had no idea who Shen Tang was.

"I don't know..."

With a bang, another punch. "Are you going to talk or not?"

Scarface nearly spit out blood from the blows. "I really don't know..."

Seeing Gu Huaian about to hit him again, Scarface hurriedly closed his eyes to dodge, shouting loudly: "I don't even know who Shen Tang is, beating me to death won't help!"

Gu Huaian's movements paused briefly before he still swung his fist over.

"She's the one you guys were chasing."

"We didn't catch her!"

Scarface spit out a tooth, on the verge of tears. He looked to the people around him, "Are you all just going to watch him hit me? Are you even human?"

Before he even finished speaking, everyone turned their backs.

Scarface: "..."

What's this about, he has no human rights?

"Look over there!" Everyone rushed over, only to see a wild boar lying on the ground with its stomach still weakly rising and falling - it wasn't dead yet!

Then where was Shen Tang?

"Shen Tang!"

"Are you there?"

A faint voice sounded out, "I'm here..."

But no one heard it.

Shen Tang lay in the ditch, anxious to the point of tears.

【Help...!】

【Can no one hear me? Ahhhhhhhhhh!】

【Screaming! Twisted! Creeping in darkness!!!】

Hearing Shen Tang's inner voice, Gu Huaian hurriedly looked around.

Finally he discovered the barely conscious Shen Tang in a ditch nearby.

Shen Tang was moved to tears: "Wuwuwu you finally found me..."

Seeing her covered head-to-toe in blood and grime, Gu Huaian was at a loss.

"You...how are you?"

"Are you okay?"

Shen Tang sighed. "Do I look okay to you?"

【Damn, this wild boar is so strong. I suspect my hand is fractured.】

【How can this dumbass still not carry me out? Is he too disgusted by how dirty I am?】

As soon as this thought surfaced, Gu Huaian carefully picked her up into his arms.

With the help of others, Shen Tang was lifted out of the ditch.

"Where's the doctor? Hurry and check on her condition!"

Soon, two people came over with medical kits. The results showed Shen Tang was not well.

"Multiple bone fractures and contusions over her body, hand bones shattered - emergency surgery is required." "Can her hands fully recover?"

"There's a 90% chance."

Shen Tang was not too worried. This probability was quite large, so there likely wouldn't be issues.

"Right, did you guys find those girls?"

"Don't worry, they've all been sent home."

Shen Tang finally relaxed.

But she was still somewhat worried for the girl who suffered at the hands of evil men, fearing she might react poorly.

Last night when comforting that girl, Shen Tang spoke lightly, but she was heavy-hearted too.

If the knife doesn't cut your own skin, you won't know the pain. But in Shen Tang's eyes, just being alive was most important. "Oh right, one girl's mental condition doesn't seem good. If possible, I hope a psychologist can be arranged for her."

"You should be more concerned about yourself." Gu Huaian ruffled Shen Tang's hair.

"Hey! Don't mess up my hair!"

Gu Huaian chuckled. "Don't worry, you had no sense of style to begin with."

Shen Tang: "..."

Gu Huaian stopped joking. First he contacted a helicopter for pickup, then called the hospital under Gu Enterprise, preparing for Shen Tang's impending surgery at a moment's notice.

After everything was arranged properly, only then did someone belatedly ask: "So what's with this wild boar?"

"I beat it."

"Huh?"

"What? You beat it?" All the people present were shocked.

But looking at the wild boar's body, it only had internal injuries without much external damage.

Shen Tang waved her hand. "Otherwise how would my own hands turn out like this?"

Gu Huaian hastily grabbed her wrist. "You're already injured, stop fidgeting."

Shen Tang lightly coughed. "Umm, I killed the wild boar, so remember to take it with you. I wonder if wild boar meat tastes good..."

Gu Huaian: "......"

He truly felt it was difficult to make this woman become more reliable!

While waiting for the helicopter, Shen Tang kept bragging about her merits and prowess - how she utilized the wild boar to chase away those people, how she beat the wild boar bare-handed.

The legend goes that Wushuang beat tigers. Now there was Shen Tang beating wild boars. Teehee~

Gu Huaian endured again and again before finally unable to resist handing her a bottle of water.

Shen Tang was puzzled. "Thank you, but I'm not thirsty."

"No, you are thirsty."

Soon Shen Tang understood - this was because she was being too chatty.

She obediently drank some water.

"Oh right, how did you end up in that ditch?"

Shen Tang nearly did a spit take. This guy really knew how to poke where it hurts.

Should she tell him she accidentally fell while walking? That would be too embarrassing.

Gu Huaian sighed.

The helicopter arrived, but there was no open area nearby to land, so they could only climb up the ladder.

Gu Huaian wanted to piggyback Shen Tang up, but was firmly rejected.

"Thanks, but I'm too heavy. You must be tired too after everything, so it's better to leave this small task to the professionals."

【Haha, I barely survived, can't lose my life over something minor after going through all that. If I fall from that height, I'd be smashed into pieces!】

Gu Huaian: "......"

Perhaps knowing her inner voice was not as good as he thought after all.

It was truly too crushing.
