My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 1033: The Corpse Incident

In the lower region of Longxing Mountain, in the forest, a couple entered the dense woods seeking thrills and got terrified.

The man fled for his life, disregarding his girlfriend, while the woman was equally terrified, fleeing in a panic.

The couple put some distance between them. When reaching the mountain path, they collapsed on the ground as if all their strength was drained.

The man was drenched in cold sweat, trembling all over, as a chill ran straight to his head.

The woman was sobbing uncontrollably, her eyes filled with terror.

"There’s a dead body, a dead body," the man screamed in horror.

The woman dared not look in the direction they had come from, haunted by a bloody image lingering in her mind.

"What happened? What’s going on?" Several curious tourists approached and inquired.

"There’s a body, it seems to be a woman, lying naked and covered in blood," the man replied shakily.

"What? A body?" Nearby tourists were all shocked, gasping in disbelief.

Someone skeptically said, "Brother, you must be mistaken, how could there be a body in such a remote area?"

"If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself," the man said in a daze.

A few tourists mustered the courage to take a quick look, then they all ran back to the mountain path in fright.

"Call the police, yes, call the police immediately." Someone dialed 110.

"Get out of here quickly, there’s a dead body, it’s terrifying, run away at once." The tourists panicked and started retreating the way they came. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The woman from the couple who first discovered the body followed other tourists, while the man tried to catch up. She slapped him immediately, scolding, "Useless coward, you ran away upon seeing the body, leaving me behind, we’re breaking up, I’m so disappointed in you, you call yourself a man?"

"I was wrong, let me explain, I was scared out of my wits too," the man tried to explain, but the woman wouldn’t hear any of it.

The news of the dead body found in the forest spread like wildfire.

The local police received the news immediately and organized a force to rush to the scene.

The person in charge of the tourist site was also alarmed.

A large majority of the tourists below the area where the body was found quickly learned of the news and hurriedly descended the mountain.

However, the area above where the body was found was still unaware for the moment.

Meanwhile, with the news spreading online, soon even the tourists above the body were alerted.

"There’s a dead body, hurry, let’s go, there’s a dead body." On the grass at the mountain top, a group of tourists lying on the ground caught wind of the news online, and soon this message spread across the grassland, reaching over twenty people at once.

"A dead body?" Ye Fan and Mengyao sat up, exchanged a glance with Lu Xiangxiang, and all showed a look of confusion.

"How could there be a dead body?" Lu Xiangxiang watched the restless departing people, full of confusion, and caught up with a few tourists to ask, "Where is the dead body?"

"In a forest below, a woman’s body was found, you better leave quickly," a tourist explained.

"Such a damper, climbing a mountain only to encounter a corpse." Lu Xiangxiang said, feeling uneasy as she looked at the departing tourists, then turned to Ye Fan and Mengyao, "What should we do?"

"Let’s go," Ye Fan and Mengyao said in unison.

The three of them were the last to leave, slowly descending the mountain.

Having started their hike around nine in the morning, it took them six hours to reach the summit. Before they even had a chance to properly enjoy the view, this incident occurred, forcing them to leave to avoid being driven away by the tourism staff or the police.

Going up was strenuous, but coming down was much easier.

By around four o’clock, Ye Fan and the others reached the place where the body was discovered. The body was being carried up the mountain path by the tourist site staff, with it covered up, followed from a distance by some tourists, most of whom had left the grassland. Being scared of the body, they were keeping a considerable distance behind it.

The tourists following the body were moving fast, eager to get down the mountain as quickly as possible to avoid trouble. Yet, being on the mountain top, despite their speed, they couldn’t get ahead of the body.

The person in charge at the tourist site acted swiftly, immediately covering the body to prevent photos from being spread online, which would impact tourism negatively.

Finding the murderer wasn’t their concern.

"No unauthorized photography or wild speculation, or we’ll confiscate your phones and hand you over to the police." Security staff warned the tourists sternly.

The tourists naturally didn’t dare act recklessly, knowing the tourist site and the police, although separate, worked closely together. If any news got out online, they’d be in trouble, and the police would come looking.

"The mountain path is narrow, and with people packed ahead of us, we might as well walk slowly. Rushing won’t get us to the front." Ye Fan said calmly, "Rather than stopping and starting behind a corpse, why not wait half an hour before moving?"

"Had we known earlier, we could have stayed longer on the grass at the summit and wouldn’t have been blocked," Lu Xiangxiang lamented.

"Why would someone die at such a nice tourist spot? From what I read online, it seems to be murder. A woman found dead and naked in the forest, it just sounds unsettling," Mengyao remarked with regret.

"From my analysis, the killer must be a tourist, who had deep hatred for the woman, using the guise of a trip to commit murder and escape," Lu Xiangxiang theorized with interest, tilting her head as she pondered, "This way, the killer will never be found, even the most capable police won’t be able to trace them. So many people hike here daily, it’s impossible to check everyone, especially with the crime scene trampled, who knows when the woman died, retrieving meaningful information from the scene is near impossible."

"Don’t worry about it. People die every day, there’s too much to care about. The police have it covered, so why should we dwell on it more? Besides, we don’t know the deceased, excessive talk isn’t appropriate," Ye Fan said helplessly.

"Idle talk doesn’t address issues; that’s my life motto. When it comes to the deceased, we shouldn’t speak out of turn," Lu Xiangxiang said. "But as a doctor, encountering something like this, I want to do my part. If it’s murder, finding the real killer is what someone in the medical profession with ancient values would strive for."

Ye Fan admired Lu Xiangxiang a bit more, "I didn’t realize you have such a big heart."

"Of course, don’t you know who I am?" Lu Xiangxiang replied proudly.
