Chapter 107
Xia Miaomiao looked at Qin Shi with fear in her eyes, "Don't...please...don't..."
Seeing Xia Miaomiao's frightened look, Qin Shi became even more excited. He pressed down on Xia Miaomiao and started tearing at her clothes on her chest.
"Ah, let me go! Let me go!"
Xia Miaomiao could no longer feel the pain in her ankles and hands. She struggled desperately.
She had never experienced anything like this before. Unprecedented fear enveloped her as tears streamed down her face.
"Help...help..."
With a tearing sound, her clothes on her chest were ripped apart. Xia Miaomiao hurriedly grabbed a hairpin from her head and fiercely stabbed it towards Qin Shi's neck.
But Qin Shi was a martial arts expert, so it was not easy for Xia Miaomiao to stab his neck. He tilted his head to dodge, and the hairpin only injured Qin Shi's shoulder.
"Hiss..." Qin Shi let out a hiss, seemingly enraged. He viciously ripped Xia Miaomiao's clothes apart, exposing her fair shoulders and corset.
Qin Shi's eyes shone with excitement. He held Xia Miaomiao's hands down, ready to lean over her.
Xia Miaomiao had already closed her eyes in despair.
Suddenly, with a "whoosh", a concealed weapon shot over. Qin Shi immediately rolled over to dodge it, and the weapon plunged into the ground not far away.
"Who's there?" Qin Shi looked up to see a figure flying down from a nearby tree.
At that moment, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as bean-sized raindrops pelted down unexpectedly.
"How dare you pretend to be Hua Wuyou to commit atrocities against women. It seems you are seeking death!" Hua Wuyou flew over and engaged Qin Shi in close combat.
Xia Miaomiao crawled up from the ground. Her clothes were tattered beyond repair, exposing her fair shoulders and corset. She used the torn clothes to cover her chest as tears mixed with rainwater streamed down her wretched face.
She wanted to escape but her ankles were injured by Qin Shi, rendering her unable to move.
She sat helplessly on the ground, hugging her knees and crying uncontrollably.
With a "bang", someone seemed to have crashed onto the ground.
Xia Miaomiao looked up to see that the man who saved her was actually injured by Qin Shi!
Qin Shi walked over and looked down condescendingly at Hua Wuyou, mocking him, "I didn't expect the famous flower thief of Chu City, Hua Wuyou, to have such weak martial arts."
Hua Wuyou looked at him and laughed coldly, "What use is the greatest martial arts?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a jade flute from his waist and started playing it.
Qin Shi felt his mind go blank. How could Hua Wuyou be blowing a flute at this time?
"This is Miaomiao's hairpin that Xiao Han gifted her previously!"
"She must have been rescued by someone."
"Who could have saved her?"
"If the murderer was Qin Shi and not Hua Wuyou, then the one who took Miaomiao away is likely Hua Wuyou. I saw him near Qin Shi's residence before." Wu Ying analyzed.
Su Mo's heart lifted again. "Are they in cahoots? Isn't he just a flower thief?"
"They are not working together. Otherwise, why would Qin Shi be injured just now?" Wu Ying thought for a moment. "I guess it's because Qin Shi borrowed Hua Wuyou's name to abuse women, so Hua Wuyou came after him."
"So is this Hua Wuyou good or bad?"
"This...I'm not too sure either. There are good and bad rumors about him. But since he rescued Miaomiao, he probably doesn't mean her any harm. Let's take Qin Shi back first. We may be able to get some clues from him."
Su Mo knew getting anxious now was futile. They could only bring Qin Shi back for interrogation first.
She looked coldly at Qin Shi. "Make him suffer a fate worse than death!"
...
The downpour came quickly and ended quickly too. By now, the rain had almost stopped.
Hua Wuyou carried Xia Miaomiao into an abandoned farmhouse.
It was covered in dust and cobwebs, clearly no one had lived here for a very long time.
He quickly laid Xia Miaomiao down on the wooden bed. His actions accidentally pulled open her torn clothes, exposing her fair collarbone and corset.
Hua Wuyou was startled, immediately pulled over her shredded clothes to cover her chest.
Xia Miaomiao lay curled up, shivering uncontrollably in her unconscious state.
Both of them were drenched. Hua Wuyou immediately searched the house for some dry firewood and started a fire inside.
He took off his own clothes and hung them nearby to dry.
As the fire grew stronger, the firelight shone on Xia Miaomiao's haggard pale face. Hua Wuyou inadvertently glanced over. In the firelight, he finally got a good look at Xia Miaomiao's appearance.
He stared blankly for a moment, then walked over naked to take a closer look at Xia Miaomiao's face.
Xia Miaomiao's wet hair was draped over her forehead, covering her eyes. Hua Wuyou subconsciously reached out to brush her hair aside.
"It really is you? Little bunny?"
Hua Wuyou suddenly recalled seeing her sitting on the rooftop wearing a bunny mask that day.
