Chapter 326

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

The women’s prison that Lin Yan was in was built on the outskirts of Lin city. The surrounding area was almost deserted and filled with dense forests. There was only one coastal highway leading to the city.

It was long known that the dense forests in that area often had wild beasts roaming about. When they were young, they heard the ghost stories told by adults. Most of them were based on people who had entered the forest but never came out again. After the baptism of time, and all sorts of embellishments.. Thus, countless more eerie and terrifying versions were born.

As long as one was born and raised in forest city, they would have an inexplicable fear and fear of the forest in that area.

And most importantly, it was midnight. It was already so late, and there were no street lights in the forest, and there was no one by her side. It was really hard to imagine how she had escaped from that wretched middle-aged driver and what kind of state of mind she was in.. She had escaped into that dark and dense forest filled with fear.

Qiao man held her phone even harder, as if there was a similar mournful howl of the wind coming from the other end of the radio wave. There was also the woman’s panicked and unstable breath, and for a moment, her mind went blank. There was even a second.. She did not know what reaction she should make to express her current state of mind.

“Yan ‘er, don’t hang up the phone. I’m going to look for someone. ”

Perhaps it was because the signal in the forest was not good. All she heard was Lin Yan’s staccato voice. She could not even complete a sentence.

Lin Yan did not wear much. It was very cold, especially in the forest.

She was still carrying the luggage that she had carried when she came out of the prison. Every step she took required a huge amount of courage. “Man Man… my… phone… is going to run out of battery. Can you hear… me? Man Man… ”

Although it was raining outside, one could not feel too much rain in the dense forest. It was just that the wind was very strong, blowing up the leaves of the Tall Magnolia Tree. They rustled and occasionally brushed past one’s ear, as if someone was talking beside one’s ear It could not help but make one’s hair stand on end.

“Man man, man man… ”

Lin Yan only heard the phone beeping with a warning because of the low battery. The phone screen completely darkened. She tried to press the lock button twice, but because of the low battery, the phone did not respond at all.

The sound of the wind around her seemed to have instantly become louder. She put the luggage bag in her hand on the ground and squatted down, her slender arms wrapped around her petite body, as if this was the only way to find a little sense of security.. So that she would not drown in the endless darkness.

Qiao man ran out of the smoke-gray Bentley. After she could not hear the sound coming from the other end of the phone, she put the phone next to her ear in front of her eyes. After realizing that the other end had already hung up, she quickly tapped twice on the screen that was already full of raindrops.. She dialed the phone again, then walked around the pool and dialed Lin Yan’s number.

Just as she was about to run to the entrance of the villa, she heard a robotic female voice coming from the other end of the phone. “Hello, the number you have dialed has been turned off or is not in the service area. Please try again later… ”

Qiao man hung up the call and tried to dial again, but the call was still answered by the robotic female voice.

Compared to before, she was more flustered. She did not even change her shoes and hurriedly ran upstairs.

Ji Yunshen was taking a shower in the bathroom, soaking in hot water. He only had time to see a black figure swaying outside the frosted glass. Then, the bathroom door was immediately opened by the petite figure outside the door. He did not even move to cover it up.. He only raised his straight eyebrows slightly. Through the misty mist, he looked at the woman who was somewhat disheveled from the rain.

After two seconds, Qiao man slowly moved her gaze away from his naked and strong body and tried her best to keep her voice low “Ji Yunshen, something bad has happened to Yan ‘er. She got out of prison at night and met a wretched middle-aged male driver in a taxi. She accidentally ran into a dense forest near the women’s prison. When she was young, she often heard from the adults that wild beasts often appeared in that dense forest. Yan ‘Er got lost in there and couldn’t get through to her cell phone. There was no one by her side, could she… … could she be attacked and eaten by wild beasts?”

When Ji Yunshen heard Lin Yan’s words, he reached out to switch off the shower and swiftly took a towel. He wiped his body briefly and then began to put on his clothes.

“Isn’t she supposed to be released from prison in a few days? How could it be so sudden? ”

Qiao man shook her head, her tone full of worry. “I don’t know either. She only said that because she performed well in prison, she was released a few days early. ”

Ji Yunshen’s handsome straight eyebrows were almost knitted together. After putting on his pants, he immediately began to wear a casual shirt. His slender fingers elegantly fastened the buttons on the Front of the shirt, bringing with them an inborn elegance He looked like an elegant young master who had walked out of an oil painting in the palace. At a glance, he felt that it was a gift from the heavens.

“Old Fu’s people monitor the prison 24 hours a day. If Lin Yan was released early, how could he not know? ”

In the past few years, he had already stepped into too many conspiracy traps, and he had no choice but to be alert immediately.

As Ji Yunshen spoke, he walked to her side. “Did she deliberately hide it from Old Fu? ”

Qiao Man’s words just now were a little evasive, so it was not difficult for him to guess Lin Yan’s thoughts.

After all, between her and Fu, besides love and hate, there was also a feud between them.

“What’s the point of investigating all that now? Shouldn’t you be thinking about how to find her now that the forest is so big? ”

There was not much emotion on JI yunshen’s chiseled handsome face. His entire person was very calm, and there was an aura of authority that came from him without anger “Man man, because she is your best friend, even if you don’t want to have anything to do with me and have any emotional ties with me, you don’t hesitate to look for me the first time for her? ”

“Tell me, this almost subconscious behavior of yours, does it mean that deep in your heart, you still treat me as your… exclusive man? ”

Qiao man always felt that Ji Yunshen’s success today was not a coincidence. Just like at this moment, he was able to bring out the things that others cared about the most and negotiate without changing his expression. Moreover, he was able to calmly analyze her thoughts and thoughts It was simply impossible for anyone to escape.

Or, in his dictionary of life, he could only use any means to achieve his goals and take advantage of others when they were weak.

Qiao man looked at him coldly and quietly, not dodging or dodging “Ji Yunshen, if the person beside me is Meng Dongxing, Gu Xichen, or Huo Qingtong, I will also look for them without hesitation. If that’s the case, does it mean that deep down in my heart, I treat them as my… exclusive man? ”

“Man man, you’re quibbling. ”

He glanced back at her, walked around her, and walked out of the bathroom. He went to get the phone that he had just placed on the Leather Sofa beside the master bed. After unlocking it, he immediately dialed Fu Qingshan’s number.

Qiao man looked at the tall man whose short, tattered hair was still dripping with water. His back was against the light, and in the shadows, he looked even taller and taller.

The beeping sound before the call was picked up was about five times.

Fu Qingshan seemed to be socializing. Because Ji Yunshen was not present, all the scenes needed him to complete. At this moment, he was already tipsy. When he walked out of the private room, he even felt that the entire world was spinning In front of him were overlapping shadows.

“I’m fine here. How’s your neck? ”

Fu Qingshan held his phone with one hand and massaged his aching Glabella with the other. Under the influence of alcohol, his voice sounded low and sexy.

Ji Yunshen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the spring rain outside the window and the dark night that was covered by the spring rain “Lin Yan came out of prison. In order to avoid your people, she got into a taxi. However, she didn’t expect the taxi driver to be a wretched middle-aged man. She ran away and ran into the forest of death. ”

Yes, if Ji Yunshen didn’t mention it, Qiao man would have forgotten that the forest was called the forest of death by the people of Lin city.

There were many explorers and botanists who went into the forest to explore the unknown scientific field, but most of them never came back. The science discovery channel of Lin City also did a program about the forest And it was called the “forest of death. “.

“When did it happen? ”

Fu Qingshan immediately woke up when he heard Ji Yunshen say the word “Lin Yan. ” His broad back, which was leaning against the cold wall, instantly stiffened. “Do you know how long she has been in there? How did you find her? ”

As he spoke, he ran towards the elevator entrance. In his slightly tipsy state, he bumped into a few passersby one after another. For a moment, the corridor could only hear the sound of wine bottles and wine glasses falling to the ground.

“Just now, Lin Yan called Qiao Man. It shouldn’t have been long. ”

Fu Qingshan ran to the elevator entrance and found that all four elevators were being occupied. He could only turn to the emergency passage at the side and run downstairs. “Then why the F * Ck Are you still talking nonsense with me? Hurry up and send someone to look for her! ”

“I think I should call you first before I send someone to look for her. Otherwise, you’ll be the last person to know about Lin Yan’s accident. ”

Fu Qingshan cursed in a low voice and cut off the cell phone communication. It only took him one or two seconds to run down the ten or so steps. No one knew how much he wished that time would be slower and he would be faster.

…

Ji Yunshen cut off the cell phone communication and put on his suit jacket that was on the chair. He turned around and looked at Qiao man who was standing at the bathroom door “Wait for me at home. That forest is like a maze. There are often wild beasts roaming around, and it’s raining heavily. The weather forecast says that there will be a rainstorm tomorrow. I won’t be at ease if you go. ”

“No, I want to go. ”

The moment Qiao man was about to walk past her and walk out, she stood in front of him. “Ji Yunshen, I want to go. ”

“Your body won’t be able to take it, and it’s easy to distract me. Wait for me at home, Huh? ”

Qiao man raised her head and looked at him quietly. “You can choose to let me go with you, or I can go by myself. ”

In other words, even if she didn’t go with him, she would still think of a way to go by herself, because she really couldn’t wait at home like nothing had happened, really… … couldn’t do it …

Ji Yunshen’s pitch-black and deep eyes stared back at her without blinking. They stared at each other for a few seconds, or even more than ten seconds, before he finally lost.. “after you go in, you have to follow closely by my side. You can’t force yourself, and don’t make random judgments. When you’re in danger, remember not to care about me, and run quickly. ”

Perhaps it was because he knew her personality too well, but he did not have the ability to resist her at all. Therefore, the current situation between the two of them was that whatever she said and what he did were completely reversed from the order of five years ago.

Because of the heavy rain on the highway in the middle of the night, the visibility was not good. Ji Yunshen tried his best to maintain the highest speed under this kind of road condition, and sped rapidly on the winding coastal highway.

Because the forest was very large, there were no surveillance cameras nearby. Only the weak orange rays from the high-pole street lamps on both sides of the road were shining.

After handing the only umbrella in the car to Qiao Man, Ji Yunshen pushed open the car door and got out. The rain became heavier and fell on the man’s broad shoulders, disappearing quickly.

Qiao man did not have time to change her clothes. She simply put on a man’s suit jacket. After getting out of the car with the umbrella, she immediately walked to the tall man’s side and blocked the wind and rain above his head.

Ji Yunshen had sent a group of people into the forest. However, because the forest was too large and like a maze, after going in a little deeper and making some marks, they immediately retreated and changed to another group of people to go in. In that case.. It could more or less eliminate some of the fear of this dense forest for no reason.

“Man Man, wait for me in the car. There are so many people, I believe that we can definitely find Lin Yan. Don’t follow her in, okay? ”

His voice was almost hoarse as he discussed. He probably never thought that this man would one day speak to her in such a tone, so the moment she heard it, she was stunned for a full two seconds before reacting.

“Ji Yunshen, I really can’t sit still. The moment I think of Yan ‘er herself in a dark corner of this forest, I can’t wait to rush in immediately. She’s not only my friend, she’s also my family. Although I know that if I go in, I might not be able to find her and might even become a burden to you guys, but this is probably… … The only thing I can do for her.”

She did not have any other abilities. She could only try her best to use this method to make up for the flaws in her heart.

Ji Yunshen’s eyes were deep. Under the orange streetlights that were mostly covered by umbrellas, they looked even deeper. One could not even see the end of it.

“okay, then just like what I told you on the way here, don’t try to be brave and don’t make any judgments. When you are in danger, run towards the direction where there are many people. Most importantly, don’t turn back and don’t bother about me, understand? ”

He actually knew that he could not persuade her. It was not only because of her feelings for Lin Yan, but also because of the perception that Lin Yan was very likely to die.

After all, it was very difficult for those explorers to walk out of this forest, let alone Lin Yan who did not have any adventure experience, or even survival experience in the wild.

Although she was born into a military and political family, she definitely did not go through all kinds of inhuman training like these men who came from a military and political family.

Qiao man nodded heavily. “Okay, I’LL LISTEN TO YOU! ”

When the third batch of people changed, Ji Yunshen followed the main group into the maze-like forest, holding Qiao Man’s hand tightly throughout the whole process.

Qiao man did not hold an umbrella when she entered the jungle, but the man covered her head with his suit jacket. She was already wearing a man’s suit jacket, and there was another one on top of her head. She felt as if her entire sensory system was being sucked in.. It was all the man’s dry and warm breath.

She walked at the back and could only see the general outline of the man. In fact, sometimes, love was not a passionate and solemn vow, but when the whole world thought that you were making a mountain out of a molehill.. That person understood why you were crying so hysterically.

Just like now, if it were anyone else, even if they tied her up in the car, they would not let her cause trouble, but he did not, because he knew that it was not what she wanted.

She had once seen this sentence on Weibo, and felt that it was very appropriate to use it at this moment. She could not remember what the original words were, but only some general words. It said that lovers, only when they experienced certain things, only then would they be able to tell who they loved the most and who loved them the most.

The rain in the dense forest was much lighter than outside. However, because it had accumulated together, it was very powerful when it fell. She could only hear the steady footsteps of the man and the muffled sound of the huge raindrops falling on her head and shoulders.

The surroundings were filled with flickering night lights. Although it was not enough to illuminate every corner of the dense forest, she could at least see clearly if the road under her feet was thorny or if it was on the way.

The Echo in the mountain was a little loud. The people who were searching for her kept calling out Lin Yan’s name. Qiao man tried her best to hold her breath, trying to distinguish if there was a familiar woman’s voice from the noisy voices.

“I’m here, can you hear me… ”

Perhaps the woman’s voice was too familiar, so Qiao man easily identified the voice.

Qiao man tightly held the man’s hand in front of her and pointed in the direction behind her. “Ji Yunshen, I heard Yan ‘Er’s voice. It seems to be coming from that direction. Let’s go over and take a look! ”

As she said this, the woman was about to pull the man’s hand over to that direction, but the man easily pulled her back and controlled her in his arms “Man man, don’t go over. The sound in the mountain is very scattered by the wind. The sound you heard came from that direction, but in reality, it might not have come from that direction. Let’s walk a little further. If the sound is still like this, it means that she’s in that direction. ”

The man stretched out his hand and pointed in another direction. Qiao man had no idea what to do at this moment, so she complied with the emotions in her heart and chose to believe him without any ripples.

After walking for another two hundred meters into the depths of the dense forest, as expected, the sound that came just now changed direction again, and became weaker and weaker. This meant that Lin Yan was not in the direction that he told her, but in another direction.

“Ji Yunshen, if your life is coming to an end soon, what is the most regretful thing that you haven’t done in your life? ”

Ji Yunshen’s big hand was still tightly holding Qiao Man’s hand. When he heard that, he frowned slightly. “I didn’t love you properly. ”

“speak properly. I’m talking to you seriously. ”

“I’m not joking with you either! ” The man’s voice was still very low and gentle in the night wind, and it even carried a fatal sexiness. “The most regretful thing that I’ve lived for so long is that I didn’t love you properly. ”

It would be a lie to say that she didn’t feel anything when she heard those words. It was just that this kind of feeling happened in this particular situation, where there was no hope, no exit, and filled with death and sadness.

“Did you hear me? I’m here… ”

The Echo in the mountain was very loud. They felt very close to each other, but in fact, they were very far apart.

Qiao man felt that the voice came from all directions, and she couldn’t tell where it came from at all. “Ji Yunshen, if we continue like this, how long will we have to look for her? ”

“The terrain of the mountains and forests is complicated. Our current location is not even a quarter of the depth of the dense forest. We can only determine Lin Yan’s exact location by going deeper. As for how much longer we have to look for her, we have to find her before dawn. Otherwise, there is a high possibility of a beast attack. “.

Qiao Man’s heart could not help but thump. She held the man’s hand even harder, as if other than fear, there was more fear of the unknown.

…

Fu Qingshan had drunk alcohol. The road was slippery and the visibility was not high, so he called for a hotel driver.

A few dozen meters later, a woman walked out of the hotel. She had a good figure and wore a knee-length white gauze skirt. Her long black hair fluttered in the air as she walked, and between her fingers was a colorful umbrella. When she walked over from afar.. She looked like a heroine from a comic book.

“Mr. Fu, are you the designated driver? ”

Fu Qingshan only glanced at the woman and did not even look at her twice. “Yes, drive quickly. I want to go to the dense forest on the side of the coastal highway and drive at the fastest speed you can. ”

The woman smiled faintly and then walked around the front of the car to the driver’s seat. The man also changed from leaning against the car to turning around and pulling the door.

The car soon started and slid into the driveway in front of the hotel.

There were almost no cars on the road at this time. Except for the poor visibility in the rain, everything else was perfect.

The woman was really like what he said. She drove forward at a speed that was within the limits of her ability.

When they reached the outside of the dark forest, it was already 2:08 am.

It had just been a heavy rain, but now it had turned into a heavy rain.

Fu Qingshan took out his wallet and casually took out a stack of money and threw it into the woman’s lap. He did not have time to check whether the woman had left or got out of the car. He ran towards the direction of the forest.

The woman picked up the few notes between her slender fingers. Then she turned her head and looked at the man’s tall back through the window and the misty mist.

She looked at him for about ten seconds until the man’s figure completely disappeared from the woman’s sight. Only then did she curve the corners of her lips and put on an enigmatic look.

The people who went in to search and rescue had already changed to the fourth batch. Ji Yunshen and Qiao man slowly walked into the depths of the dense forest. The surrounding light and the boiling voices of people became less and less, leaving only the rustling sound of heavy rain falling on the leaves There was also the sound of the wind whistling and swaying.

“Is anyone there? Save Me… ah… ”

The voice that was getting closer and closer suddenly let out some shrill cries.
