n“Bang!”

nA harsh sound of a gun firing echoed, followed by a thud. Jin Qianba was kneeling on the ground, wailing in agony.

n“I am asking you again, where is she?!”

nAs 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!”

nHe answered while observing Shi Yuting’s expression.

nYet after listening to his reply, his eyes became frenzied. He then moved the gun to point it at Jin Qianba’s left leg.

nSeeing 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….”

nAfter 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?”

nBoss Xiao was surprised to hear the truth.

nJin 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.

nBut 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?

n“It leads to the mountain, but…” Gazing at Shi Yuting, Boss Xiao was hesitant of his words.

nHe 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!

nAs though Shi Yuting had seen through Boss Xiao’s hesitance, he went silent for a second before leaving Xiaoyao Residence and giving a command.

n“Go to the mountain and bring back that woman to me safely!”

nAs he finished ordering, Shi Yuting marched toward the back of the mountain, without a care for the rain that was battering his body.

nBehind him, Jing Xinlei stared at the man who threw away his image to rush into the rainstorm with an aching heart.

nHe would throw away his reputation for Zuo Weiyi?

nHow could this happen…

nIn the back of the mountain.

nIn the night, gale and storm raged through the sky.

nThere was no sign of exit among the thick woods.

nA torchlight in hand, dozens of men in black made their way through tall weeds in the heavy rain, searching for Zuo Weiyi.

nAfter 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.

nYet most of it was just anxiety.

nHe felt this once, five years ago, when his parents were in a car accident and were lying in the hospital’s emergency room…

n“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.

nXiang 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.

nWhen 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.

nAt 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.

nSuddenly, Xiang Yi seemed to have stepped on something.

nHe frowned subconsciously and immediately lowered his head, pointing the flashlight he held in his hand at the thing under his feet.

nWhat 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.

nA look of surprise crossed Xiang Yi’s face, he quickly lifted his head up toward Shi Yuting who was nearby. “Here, Mr. Shi!”
