Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 702 - 695: A Woman’s Mind (Part 9)

Xiao Qiao could see a figure in the distance running toward her, waving as if shouting something at her.

She instinctively took a couple of quick steps, but suddenly stopped. Something flashed in her mind, and she stood dazed in place, watching the figure gradually running toward her.

Bai Yiran saw the girl in front noticing her, and her heart cleared instantly. She felt her plan had succeeded, she had encountered someone, she was saved!

The mountain path was harder for Bai Yiran to run than she had expected. She stumbled twice, injuring her palms and knees to varying degrees. However, now Bai Yiran seemed to be unaware of the pain, just desperately running. The girl ahead appeared like a beacon, reaching her meant salvation.

Xiao Qiao watched as the figure drew nearer, gradually making out her face. Xiao Qiao was shocked; even though the woman running toward her looked extremely disheveled, even though her hair was incredibly messy, it couldn’t hide her appearance — she was very beautiful.

As the woman rapidly approached, closer and closer, Xiao Qiao involuntarily took steps backward; her mind somewhat blank now, her body reacting purely by instinct.

She didn’t want the beautiful woman to get close to her, she didn’t want it!

At that moment, Xiao Qiao saw a tall man quickly following the woman, with injuries on his face still bleeding, his gaze fierce, staring intently at the woman. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

By now, Bai Yiran was very close to the girl and noticed her looking at something behind her. Bai Yiran turned to glance back.

It was Wu Chengzu catching up, getting closer to her.

Bai Yiran let out a scream, quickening her pace and urgently shouting to the retreating girl, "Please help me! I’ve been kidnapped! Hurry and save me!"

Xiao Qiao saw the man getting closer, his gaze terrifying like that of an Asura from hell. She threw away the branch in her hand, turned, and started running back, looking back as she ran.

Seeing the girl start running back, Bai Yiran could only keep shouting, "Please help me call the police! Please! Call—"

Before Bai Yiran could finish her plea, Wu Chengzu had already caught up, grabbing her from behind, covering her mouth with one large hand while holding her firmly against him with the other. Blood from his face dripped onto Bai Yiran’s hair and face.

"I told you not to try to escape; why didn’t you listen?" Wu Chengzu’s sinister voice rang in Bai Yiran’s ears.

Bai Yiran trembled all over, her eyes locked onto the girl running farther away until she disappeared.

When Wu Chengzu looked up to search for the girl, she was already out of sight. Knowing he couldn’t linger here, Wu Chengzu restrained Bai Yiran and began walking back.

Bai Yiran was convinced the girl had heard her plea and would definitely report it to the police, definitely!

Xiao Qiao was frightened by the scene earlier, running all the way back to the fork where she had originally agreed to meet Leng Yichen and the others. Exhausted, Xiao Qiao leaned against a tree to catch her breath.

"You came back first, huh." Wang Hai’s voice sounded from behind.

Xiao Qiao was startled, straightened up, and turned to look at Wang Hai, "Hmm, just got back."

"It’s dark already; why hasn’t the boss come back?" Wang Hai was still speaking when he saw Leng Yichen returning with a downcast expression.

The three regrouped here, and Leng Yichen looked at them desolately, "Did you guys find anything?"

Wang Hai sighed heavily, "Not on my end, Xiao Qiao, what about you?"

Xiao Qiao paused, experiencing intense internal conflict, then looked at Leng Yichen and shook her head, "I didn’t either."
