“Bang!”
A harsh sound of a gun firing echoed, followed by a thud. Jin Qianba was kneeling on the ground, wailing in agony.
“I am asking you again, where is she?!”
As he stared into his cold glare, Jin Qianba did not have the guts to lie again. He finally surrendered and spilled the beans. “I will tell you! She... That woman escaped through the window!”
He answered while observing Shi Yuting’s expression.
Yet after listening to his reply, his eyes became frenzied. He then moved the gun to point it at Jin Qianba’s left leg.
Seeing the gun’s direction, Jin Qianba shuddered in fear and quickly added, “It is the truth! I am not lying! She has escaped through the window... I would not lie to you, Mr. Shi....”
After admitting the truth for the second time, Shi Yuting finally put down the gun and turned to Boss Xiao. “Where does the window lead to?”
Boss Xiao was surprised to hear the truth.
Jin Qianba’s room was on the east side of the second floor. If the lady escaped through there, she would definitely be in the back of the mountain.
But the woods were thick, the paths were steep, and it would not surprise him if there were venomous snakes. Did Miss Zuo really escape to that place?
“It leads to the mountain, but...” Gazing at Shi Yuting, Boss Xiao was hesitant of his words.
He only wished Miss Zuo to be safe and well. Judging by Mr. Shi’s feelings now, he would definitely be the one to blame for everything!
As though Shi Yuting had seen through Boss Xiao’s hesitance, he went silent for a second before leaving Xiaoyao Residence and giving a command.
“Go to the mountain and bring back that woman to me safely!”
As he finished ordering, Shi Yuting marched toward the back of the mountain, without a care for the rain that was battering his body.
Behind him, Jing Xinlei stared at the man who threw away his image to rush into the rainstorm with an aching heart.
He would throw away his reputation for Zuo Weiyi?
How could this happen...
In the back of the mountain.
In the night, gale and storm raged through the sky.
There was no sign of exit among the thick woods.
A torchlight in hand, dozens of men in black made their way through tall weeds in the heavy rain, searching for Zuo Weiyi.
After searching for almost half an hour, there was still no sign of Zuo Weiyi. Shi Yuting’s heart could not help but become more irritable.
Yet most of it was just anxiety.
He felt this once, five years ago, when his parents were in a car accident and were lying in the hospital’s emergency room...
“Zuo Weiyi!!!” Minutes and seconds passed by, and Shi Yuting became visibly more upset, to the point where he was roaring at the dark jungle.
Xiang Yi, who was not far away, could not help but think of the car accident that had happened five years ago when he saw such a distressed Shi Yuting.
When the chairman was discharged from the emergency room with a piece of white cloth covering him, the frustration and helplessness on Mr. Shi’s face were still imprinted in Xiang Yi’s mind.
At this moment, although there was no helplessness and frustration, the anxiety in his eyes was exactly the same as the one from five years ago.
Suddenly, Xiang Yi seemed to have stepped on something.
He frowned subconsciously and immediately lowered his head, pointing the flashlight he held in his hand at the thing under his feet.
What was in sight was a pale arm. As the light moved along the arm, Zuo Weiyi’s disheveled form revealed itself under the glaring light from the flashlight.
A look of surprise crossed Xiang Yi’s face, he quickly lifted his head up toward Shi Yuting who was nearby. “Here, Mr. Shi!”
