Chapter 218: She Found Him
Translator: 549690339
In Huo Hannian’s group of eight, Wen Ruan, Qiao Ran, Qin Fang, Ming Kai, Shen Boyu, Shen Chuan, and Muxue.
Qin Fang and the others tagged Muxue and Huo Hannian respectively.
Qin Fang hoped that Muxue would wake up soon! No matter what the rumors are, I will believe Brother Nian unconditionally!
Qiao Ran: Me too!
Ming Kai, Shen Boyu, Shen Chuan, and a few others echoed.
Wen Ruan sat in front of the desk and read the messages in the group chat. Hot tears could not help but fall onto the screen.
She bit her lips tightly, her tear-stained eyelashes trembling.
Brother, did you see that?
Your best brothers and best friends all believe in you!
No matter what the other students thought, as long as the person he cared about the most believed in him, it was enough!
Wen Ruan’s fingertips trembled slightly as she replied, ” Thank you for
believing in him!”
Qin Fang, “What should we do now?”
Wen Ruan said,”Come with me to a place.”
Shen Chuan thought, “Wherever Sister Ruan goes, I want to go too!”
Ming Kai: I also have a few.
Wen Ruan,[You guys stay at home and don’t do anything. If there are too many people, it will only alert the enemy.]
It was impossible for Huo Hannian to disappear for no reason. If he did not hurt Muxue, then the criminal was still hiding in the dark. It would be difficult to do anything if he alerted the enemy!
Wen Ruan came downstairs and Old Mrs. Wen, who was making snacks with her, hurriedly pulled her back.” Little Jiaojiao, where are you going?””
“Grandma, I’m going out to do something.”
After what happened to Muxue, Old Mrs. Wen was worried about Wen Ruan and held her hand tightly.” Grandma is worried about you going out!”
“Grandma, I will protect myself.”
Seeing that Wen Ruan was insistent, Old Mrs. Wen had no choice but to take a step back.” You can go out, but I’ll have to arrange for two bodyguards to protect you.”
Wen Ruan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Old Mrs. Wen’s bodyguards were all professionally trained. Wen Ruan told them to hide in the dark and only come out if she was really in danger!
Wen Ruan drove to pick up Qin Fang.
Qin Fang saw her driving to Cloudy Maple Mountain and asked in puzzlement, ” We’re going to Cloudy Maple Mountain? The police and the search and rescue team searched the mountains, but they could not find Brother Nian!”
Wen Ruan pursed her lips, her eyes clear and calm.” Muxue is holding the cufflink that I gave Huo Hannian. Now that we have witnesses and physical evidence, unless we find him, he won’t be able to clear his name!””
The suspect was quite smart. He did not leave any evidence at Muxue or the scene.
Now, the police had determined that Huo Hannian was the prime suspect.
Of course, based on the current evidence, he was indeed the biggest suspect!
“Maybe Li Lei wasn’t lying. He might have really seen Huo Hannian in the middle of the night, but what he saw wasn’t the real Huo Hannian, but an imposter disguised as Huo Hannian!”
“But how Huo Hannian’s cufflinks were taken away by the imposter still needs to be verified!”
“Huo Hannian disappeared from the mountain, so there must be traces of his disappearance on the mountain!”
Qin Fang looked at Wen Ruan, who was calmly analyzing the situation while driving. He could not help but click his tongue.
No wonder the cold and gloomy Brother Nian was conquered by Homme Fatale Wen. Homme Fatale Wen was really smart and wise. She was not an empty vase!
Qin Fang looked at Wen Ruan’s fair and beautiful side profile and sighed slightly.” As expected of the girl I had a crush on! My taste is indeed as good as Brother Nian’s!”
Wen Ruan didn’t hear what Qin Fang said clearly. She glanced sideways at him.”
What did you just say?”
Qin Fang rubbed the back of his head.” It’s nothing.”
The car stopped at the foot of Cloud Maple Mountain.
Wen Ruan and Qin Fang rushed to the place where they camped last night.
The two of them split up to look for places where Huo Hannian might have passed by.
However, Cloudy Maple Mountain was very large.
After searching for two days, Wen Ruan finally found something wrong 300 meters southwest of the campsite.
“Qin Fang, what do you think this is?”
Wen Ruan crouched down and pulled a piece of leaf that had fallen a little red. Qin Fang bent down to take a look and widened his eyes slightly.”
Wen Ruan placed it to her nose and sniffed it. She then got up and walked forward.
Every few steps, one or two drops of blood could be seen.
Some of them were diluted by the dew, so they were not obvious, but there were still some traces.
Wen Ruan and Qin Fang walked down the path.
After walking for nearly 600 to 700 meters, they realized that there was no road ahead.
However, there was an endless cliff.
Wen Ruan’s heart tightened.
Qin Fang looked down and his face turned pale.” Did Brother Nian fall down?”
Wen Ruan closed her eyes. Under the gentle breeze, she could hear her own heartbeat and rapid breathing.
However, she quickly calmed down.
“Let’s go down and take a look.”
Both of them had ropes tied to their bodies. Wen Ruan let two bodyguards pull them while she and Qin Fang went down the cliff separately.
Qin Fang’s legs were originally weak, but after looking at Wen Ruan, he gathered his courage and went down.
After spending nearly two hours, the two of them reached the bottom of the cliff.
Many branches were bent, and there was a small amount of blood, but Huo Hannian was nowhere to be found.
Wen Ruan heaved a sigh of relief.
It was still alright if he did not see his figure. At least, he should still be alive!
Wen Ruan and Qin Fang found traces of branches and leaves being cut off along the way, as well as traps set up by hunters.
“Qin Fang, let’s follow this path!”
The two of them walked out of Cloudy Maple Mountain and walked for a few more miles. At the foot of another mountain, they saw a flat house.
The surroundings of Cloudy Maple Mountain were desolate and sparsely inhabited. Seeing the flat house, the two of them seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
The owner of the flat was an old man in his sixties. When he saw Wen Ruan and
Qin Fang, his eyes revealed a hint of wariness.” Who are you?”
“Sir, did you see a tall and thin youth who might be injured? “He’s about the same height as me, but he’s much more handsome than me,” Qin Fang asked.
“Who are you to him?”
“Classmate.” Wen Ruan replied.
“He’s injured. He’s in the room.” First Master opened the door and let the two of them in.
Wen Ruan had guessed that Huo Hannian was injured, but when he heard what First Master said, his heart couldn’t help but tighten.
She bit her lip and followed behind First Master into the house.
The room was very simple and crude. The bedroom was on the east side of the main room.
As First Master pushed open the bedroom door, Wen Ruan was stunned when she looked into the room. Her hands that were hanging by her sides suddenly clenched into fists, and the strength of her fingertips was so strong that it seemed like they were about to break the skin on her palms.
Qin Fang walked over from behind Wen Ruan. When he saw what was
happening inside, he let out a cry of shock and ran towards the young man on the bed.
Brother Nian!”
The handsome and cold young man was lying on the bed with a pale face. His upper body was bare, and his chest was wrapped in a layer of gauze. One could vaguely see the blood seeping through it. His eyes were closed, and his pale lips were tightly pursed as if he was lifeless..
