Chapter 201 From then on, they lived a life without sun exposure.
Ding Yuxiang was so startled that she dropped her bowl and it shattered into eight pieces. Yan Tianbao jumped up and darted into the room like a monkey.
He picked up the rope and examined it, then looked up at the half-open window. Understanding dawned on him. He spat and cursed, "This little bastard's gotten quite bold! Wait till I catch you, I'll skin you alive!"
Ding Yuxiang snapped out of her daze and asked, "What do we do now?"
"What do we do? Hurry up and chase after them! Are we supposed to return the money?" Yan Tianbao roared fiercely.
"Okay!" Ding Yuxiang agreed and ran outside.
"You silly woman, come back here!" Yan Tianbao grabbed Ding Yuxiang and said, "That little BZ has run off somewhere. We two definitely can't catch him. We need everyone's help."
"But if others find out, they'll curse us to death. Why would they help us find someone?" Ding Yuxiang asked hesitantly.
"You stupid woman! If we just say our daughter is lost, won't everyone help us look for her?" Yan Tianbao said disdainfully.
After a brief discussion, the two devised a plan.
"Everyone, come and help! Please help me find Xiaohong, my daughter!" Ding Yuxiang cried as she ran.
Yan Tianbao followed behind, looking timid and dejected, a stark contrast to the ruthless man he had been moments before.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" the neighbors all rushed over to ask.
"Last night, Xiaohong told me that she had taken a liking to my nephew. Although my nephew is good, I treat Xiaohong like my own daughter, and they are just cousins. I don't agree to this, so I said a few words to Xiaohong."
The girl hid in the room and ignored me. I thought she would calm down once she understood my good intentions, so I left her alone.
Who knew she wouldn't go out or eat? I was worried she'd be starving when I got home, so I made some noodles and brought them to her.
"But there's no one in the house. I'm afraid this girl might do something stupid, and that would be terrible. Please help me look for her..." Ding Yu said, crying.
The villagers quickly split into several groups to help search for the person.
Ding Yuxiang and Yan Tianbao exchanged a glance, sneering inwardly: with their fabricated story, not only did the villagers willingly and considerately help them find Yan Xiaohong, but after finding her, she no longer needed to deliver her secretly; she could openly and honestly give Yan Xiaohong to her foolish nephew.
While the whole village was out searching for Xiao Hong, Tian Guoqiang and his group had already found Yan Xiao Hong based on the location Yan Shuibing had given them.
To their surprise, Yan Xiaohong was mute and could not speak. She just glanced at them with red eyes, like a frightened rabbit.
Based on the token given by Yan Shuibing, they confirmed that the thin, dark-skinned girl with handprints on her face and signs of binding on her hands and feet was Yan Xiaohong.
Tian Guoqiang and his men led Yan Xiaohong on a hurried march, covering a considerable distance and almost reaching the town.
Several specially trained men took turns carrying a girl, which wasn't too strenuous. However, He Xiaohai felt that the person he was carrying was becoming increasingly unsupported, sliding down like a limp eel.
He quickly turned around and grabbed her, only to see that the girl's eyes were closed and her face was pale. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Director Tian!"
"Hmm?" Tian Guoqiang turned around and saw Yan Xiaohong, who seemed to have fainted. He reached out to check her pulse and breathing.
He frowned and said, "The situation is very bad; we need to get him to the hospital immediately!"
“But it’s still several kilometers from here to the town. We can run there, but will this girl be able to make it? Also, will she be able to make it to the hospital with her illness?” He Xiaohai said worriedly.
"Car! There's a car over there!" Officer Zhang Jie shouted.
Tian Guoqiang looked up and saw a minivan coming from the east, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Go and stop them!" Tian Guoqiang shouted.
Upon hearing that someone had been rescued, the driver stopped swearing and told them to get in the car quickly.
After a few minutes of getting into the car, Tian Guoqiang and the others fell asleep.
Yan Xiaohong, who had just been pale and had a weak pulse, opened her eyes. She secretly observed that Tian Guoqiang and the others were asleep, and some were even snoring.
She nudged He Xiaohai, but he didn't react at all. Then she reached out and pinched Tian Guoqiang hard, drawing blood, but Tian Guoqiang didn't even flinch.
Yan Xiaohong then sat up, stretched her limbs, and then did something that would absolutely astound Ding Yuxiang and the others: The mute Yan Xiaohong could speak!
She called out, "Sailor, we've taken them all down, what do we do now?"
As she spoke, the van driver stopped the vehicle, walked to the back of the van, and looked at Tian Guoqiang and the others.
He took out a rope and tied the men up securely. Then he searched them and found handguns and money, putting the money in his own pocket.
He took out a pistol, pointed it at Tian Guoqiang's temple, squinted, and tested it.
Seeing Tian Guoqiang standing motionless, he holstered his pistol. He took out his phone and made a call: "All four of them are taken care of..."
Deng Xiuzhen slowly opened her eyes, her mind a mess, her head aching, and her eyelids feeling as heavy as lead, sinking down.
"Hello, Mr. Deng!"
The familiar voice made Deng Xiuzhen open her eyes abruptly. She exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Ying? What are you doing here?"
She tried to get up, only to find herself bound like a dumpling again! Although the binding wasn't as tight as last time, the psychological trauma from the previous incident made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Deng Xiuzhen struggled desperately, but to no avail, because her whole body was limp and powerless, and she couldn't muster any strength at all.
Yan Wenying smiled sarcastically, remaining silent as she watched Deng Xiuzhen's futile struggle.
"Xiaoying, please let me go, okay? I have several children at home, and parents back in my hometown. Please let me go, okay? I'll give you anything you want, I'll give you everything." Deng Xiuzhen pleaded humbly.
“Tell me, everything was fine before. I just wanted to make some money with you, so why did you ask the police to investigate me? Now that you've investigated me, how am I supposed to live? If I can't live, how can I let you live well?” Yan Wenying walked over and looked down at Deng Xiuzhen.
“What did you say? I don’t understand. Where did I ask someone to investigate you? I just want to find my husband,” Deng Xiuzhen stammered as she explained.
"You're still lying!" Yan Wenying grabbed Deng Xiuzhen's hair, causing Deng Xiuzhen to cry out in pain.
"Do you think I don't know about you coming to the company to look for information? That guy surnamed Tian led people to Yanjiawan to investigate me, and you still say you didn't?" Yan Wenying sneered.
Upon hearing this, Deng Xiuzhen was so frightened that she couldn't utter a single word, only staring at Yan Wenying with wide, terrified eyes.
"But don't worry, your Director Tian is probably poisoned and sent to a dark coal mine to live a life without sunshine from now on."
"You're better off than him. Go to the mountains and live a good life with the old men, farming and weaving..." Yan Wenying said, laughing heartily.
"Why are you doing this to me? Where is Qin Yanlin? Was he arrested by you too?" Deng Xiuzhen lost hope and calmed down instead.
