Chapter 53: Fight
Seeing Xie Jingyan’s indifferent facial expression, Gu Lanli couldn’t help but curse: “Such a big incident has happened, how do you have the mood to go home? How could Wanyuan like someone as cold-blooded as you.”
Xie Jingyan stopped in his tracks, turned back to glance at him, his dark eyes devoid of emotion: “Is that so? But what does this have to do with me? I’ve already kindly called the police, and besides, this is your wealthy family’s matter. If Sui Tang unfortunately gets murdered today, I can mourn her for three seconds, but I’m powerless to do anything else.”
After saying that, he boarded the last bus of the night.
Leaving this place of trouble.
Gu Lanli was infuriated.
How could someone be so indifferent.
He couldn’t understand what Su Wanyuan and Jiang Ning saw in him.
Although he didn’t like Jiang Ning, seeing her chase after with He Shang, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried deep down.
Then he belatedly realized, since when could Jiang Ning ride a motorcycle?
……
The originally overcast night began raining at some point.
The motorcycle sped along the road.
That murderer would definitely drive the car to a remote place.
The previous dead student was found in the suburbs of Jin Cheng.
So that person certainly wouldn’t commit the crime in the city.
Jiang Ning’s voice was calm: “He Shang, call the police and tell them to locate your mobile phone, follow us, I’ll lead them to find that murderer.”
The night wind was strong, plus the rain, blowing so hard he couldn’t open his eyes.
He Shang struggled to take out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed 110, relaying Jiang Ning’s words.
The police told them not to chase, to pay attention to their own safety, and that they would go look.
Jiang Ning ignored them.
If they waited for the police to go look.
Then the chance of Sui Tang being murdered would increase by fifty percent.
Now was the best time for rescue.
Jiang Ning’s voice scattered somewhat in the night wind: “Follow us, this time we must capture the murderer, otherwise more youths will be murdered.”
Thanks to the rain.
The tire tracks were clearly visible. After driving a few hundred more meters, Jiang Ning spotted the abandoned taxi.
On the ground were Sui Tang’s scattered books, and one of her shoes, lying alone in the mud.
He Shang squatted on the ground and saw a bloody dagger.
His eyes instantly reddened: “J-Jiang Ning, look… Could Sui Tang have…”
He didn’t dare say the rest.
Having mixed in society since childhood, he knew that this kind of murderer was a psychological pervert, and once encountering such a person, it was usually a bad end.
Jiang Ning glanced once and denied it: “No, the blood on the blade has turned black and red, it looks like it’s been dry for a long time, fresh blood doesn’t look like that.”
He Shang looked at Jiang Ning with some horror.
Unable to understand how Jiang Ning, who grew up in a greenhouse, knew so much.
Not only could she ride a motorcycle, but she came alone to save someone.
Braver than a warrior.
Jiang Ning reached out: “Give me the dagger for self-defense.”
“Then set your mobile phone to silent, don’t alert the murderer and make him desperate enough to rip up the ticket.”
He Shang obediently did as told.
Then he saw Jiang Ning squat on the ground to discern the direction, then walk toward the depths.
He casually picked up a thick wooden stick and followed.
After walking about a hundred meters, they heard terrified whimpering cries.
And the sound of a shovel striking stone.
He Shang held his breath in place, peering out through bushes as tall as a person. The only light was the headlamp on the man’s head.
Sui Tang was tied up tightly and thrown in the mud, with a cloth strip over her mouth, allowing only whimpering sobs.
There was a gash on her head, the bloodstain already dry. Her eyes looked around desperately for help, then met Jiang Ning’s eyes exactly.
She widened her eyes in shock, tears streaming anxiously, shaking her head at Jiang Ning to signal her to leave quickly.
Jiang Ning smiled at her and made a “shh” gesture.
Sui Tang lay still on the ground, not daring to look at Jiang Ning’s position anymore, afraid of exposing her.
The man’s rough voice rang out: “Stop struggling, in this wilderness, no one will come save you. The last little girl I killed was about your age too. She was too noisy, so I cut out her tongue, then chopped off her limbs. I didn’t even have time to bury her alive before she died from the pain.”
He paused his actions, looked up at Sui Tang with a ferocious grin: “This time I’m in a hurry, when I bury you later, one shovel will smash your throat blood vessels, it won’t be too painful.”
Sui Tang’s face turned deathly pale.
Seeing the pit was dug almost deep enough.
He dragged Sui Tang and threw her into the small pit. It wasn’t deep; Sui Tang leaned against the pit wall, half her body still exposed.
The murderer turned to shovel soil.
Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Ning rushed out: “He Shang, take Tangtang to a safe place.”
“What about you?”
Jiang Ning charged straight at the murderer.
He Shang gritted his teeth and quickly dragged Sui Tang out of the mud pit.
The murderer had sharp senses.
He noticed something wrong as Jiang Ning approached.
The shovel in his hand smashed viciously toward Jiang Ning’s head.
Jiang Ning quickly dodged to the side.
She grabbed his hand, pushed him backward forcefully, forcing him farther from Sui Tang’s position.
Sui Tang freed herself from the bindings and screamed hoarsely toward Jiang Ning: “Cousin!”
Jiang Ning shoved him heavily to the ground and shouted without looking back: “He Shang, take her and go quickly.”
The man’s voice was rough and grating, his tone sinking with thick killing intent: “Heh, two more little mice slipped through, none of you will escape.”
He Shang gritted his teeth and pulled Sui Tang along: “Go hide in a safe place quickly.”
Sui Tang’s eyes were blurry with tears, pleading: “He Shang, please, help my cousin, sob sob sob, I don’t want anything to happen to her, it’s all my fault for being so stupid, always causing her trouble.”
He Shang gripped the thick wooden stick in his hand. Over there, the murderer had fought back fiercely, kicking Jiang Ning away with one foot.
He cherished his own life greatly; only by staying alive could he possibly accomplish what he hoped for.
But meeting Sui Tang’s eyes.
This sweet and naive girl.
Her eyes were truly beautiful, clean like stars.
He sighed softly: “You go hide, I’ll help her.”
As a big man, he couldn’t be inferior to a girl.
The murderer had a dagger in hand, Jiang Ning’s arm was slashed, she fiercely stabbed at the murderer’s thigh as he tried to stand.
He stumbled, and He Shang followed up with a stick.
The murderer fell to the ground, Jiang Ning pounced on him, stabbing the dagger viciously into his arm.
Then using fighting techniques, she forcefully twisted his hand, immobilizing him.
The murderer’s facial expression changed; he truly hadn’t expected this seemingly delicate little girl to move so fiercely, stabbing him twice without changing expression.
He licked his lips, his gaze on Jiang Ning gleaming with eerie light, clearly regarding her as the next prey.
Jiang Ning met his gaze fearlessly, her red lips curving into a smile. Seeing him still struggling, she stabbed once more; excessive blood loss gradually sapped the murderer’s strength.
Jiang Ning pinned him down tightly, whispering in his ear: “Want to kill me? You won’t have the opportunity in this lifetime, go die.”
