Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 230: Saving People (Part 1)

What made her even more desperate, was that Jin Xiaohan actually took out two pills of some unknown substance and shoved them into her mouth, then sealed her lips. She couldn’t even spit them out, and, in a moment, was forced to swallow them when she breathed.

The moment she swallowed, tears began to stream down from her eyes. Although she did not know what the drug was, just by looking at the expression on Jin Xiaohan’s face as he held the pills, she knew they couldn’t be anything good. Even she, a naïve and pure girl who knew nothing of the world, could guess what the drug’s purpose was likely to be.

Could it be that my innocence, Wang Qingqing’s innocence, is really going to be lost to scum like him?

As she struggled with all her might, and thought about the impending doom she might face, the tears on Wang Qingqing’s face kept falling.

"Qingqing, don’t worry, I really do like you. Just be my girlfriend, and I’ll definitely treat you well."

Seeing the look of despair in Wang Qingqing’s eyes and the tears falling from her lashes, Jin Xiaohan’s face showed his smugness. With his understanding of women, once their tears started flowing, their submission wasn’t far off.

That Zhang Bing, this time he actually had a constructive suggestion.

Thinking about how he was soon going to have the wildflower that had tantalized him for so long, Jin Xiaohan suddenly felt triumphantly pleased with himself. His gaze flickered towards the doorway, where he could faintly make out a figure crouching, and for the first time in a while when he thought of Zhang Bing, it wasn’t with disgust but with satisfaction.

The mastermind behind this operation was none other than Zhang Bing.

However, if her brother hadn’t been suddenly hospitalized, the little beauty would have already been his. It was all that little bastard’s fault, no wonder that kid was cursed to be struck by lightning.

Thinking back to how the plan should have been executed already, but had been delayed for so long, and how there had been a moment of disappointment when he thought something had happened to Wang Qingqing because she hadn’t been coming to school, Jin Xiaohan felt a surge of anger towards the guy named Li Xiaohan.

"Mmmph!"

Wang Qingqing shook her head vigorously. She could feel something indescribable rising within her.

"Qingqing, what’s wrong? Are you feeling hot?"

Jin Xiaohan didn’t miss the change in Wang Qingqing. He immediately noticed her originally pale face blooming with a flush, a sign that the drug was beginning to take effect. Timing wise, it seemed about right. His heart leapt with joy and he walked slowly towards Wang Qingqing, smiling.

He had absolutely no concern for the security of this place. It was an abandoned factory that had been dormant for several years, rarely known by anyone. Even he had discovered it by chance. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Moreover, this location was far from the city center, surrounded by desolate mountains and ridges. The nearest village was several hundred meters away, and usually, no one would come here.

Beauty, I’m coming for you!

......

According to the map, it should be around this area!

But where exactly?

Sitting in the red Maserati, Xiao Yi’s eyes continuously scanned the view in front of him, his scalp tingling. Only when he actually arrived on the scene did he realize that what he had imagined was far too simple. They were already at the location Zeng Xiaoxiao had pointed out, but this area was far from the city center. The streetlights on either side of the road, either due to disrepair or theft, didn’t shine at all. Ahead of him, under the night sky, was a vast obscurity; he could barely make out general outlines through the dim yellow lights in the distance.

Where exactly is it?

Xiao Yi lightly tapped the steering wheel, straining his eyes to see into the distance, but ultimately, the poor lighting made it impossible to see far.

Get out and search on foot!

Once he confirmed he couldn’t see clearly from where he was, Xiao Yi made a split-second decision, leaped out of the car, and plunged into the vast night like a swift shadow.

This is a factory... but this place is bustling with bright lights, the roar of machinery, and crowds. Based on the situation described over the phone, it’s unlikely to be here.

There’s no space large enough here... Could it be in these rows of village houses?

This place...

Xiao Yi’s heart beat with intense anxiety as he rapidly moved through the dim night, carefully observing and analyzing each building. Each one seemed like it could be the place, yet each one also seemed unlikely.

Like a ghost flitting through the mountains, some nearby villagers occasionally caught a glimpse of his silhouette, a faint shadow leaping up and down. They thought it was the spirit of the mountains or some spectral being revealing itself, scaring them into hurrying back to burn incense. Not long after, rumors of supernatural events in the area spread among the villagers. Some of them spoke convincingly, causing a great sensation, and even drawing television attention.

This was something Xiao Yi had not anticipated, and he certainly hadn’t expected such a situation to arise. When he later heard the villagers’ interviews, he couldn’t help but laugh in spite of himself.

But at the moment, Xiao Yi had no time to think about these things. He was completely preoccupied. His sole focus was to find Wang Qingqing quickly and ensure her safe rescue.

A girl, such a beautiful girl, alone in the wilderness, what kind of consequences might she face? Xiao Yi dared not imagine. With every second that passed, he felt her danger increased by one more second. Every time he remembered that sinister voice, a sense of indescribable fear and agitation welled up inside him.

What’s that?

Fireflies?

Suddenly, Xiao Yi, who was swiftly leaping about searching for Wang Qingqing’s possible location, came to a halt and stared intently at a twinkling point of light ahead of him.

That’s not right!

It definitely couldn’t be fireflies, not in this season!

It’s a person! There is someone smoking over there! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
