Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Dead End Ahead
Xia Yinian disappeared again.
She really didn’t mean to, but this time, she was clearly framed.
In the evening, she had arranged to meet Taotao at the roundabout to have some snacks, but Taotao never showed up.
She wandered by the roadside for a while and suddenly saw a figure resembling Taotao being forcibly pulled into the woods nearby.
Xia Yinian, anxious, chased after the figure.
And then, just like that, she got lost.
As night fell, the woods suddenly became terrifying.
Walking alone in the forest, she felt a continuous chill down her spine.
The sounds of the animals in the trees around her easily made her tense up, sending shivers down her scalp.
In the creepy and fearsome woods, which way was the way back to the roundabout?
Xia Yinian had been walking for so long without catching a glimpse of dawn.
Just as she was about to despair, a voice faintly entered her ears: "Don’t worry, this time, she’s definitely dead."
Then, another voice said: "What if she finds a way out?"
Then they fell into silence, it was a man and a woman!
Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and she couldn’t make out the voices clearly.
Following the direction of the voices, Xia Yinian finally heard the man saying, "Then, just to be safe, should we take care of her in the woods?"
"Are you thinking of killing someone?" the girl seemed a bit scared.
"Don’t you want to never see her again?"
"But... who?" Suddenly, the girl noticed someone approaching and immediately pursued them.
Xia Yinian’s heart tightened, and she quickly hid behind some bushes.
But, the girl did not continue chasing and instead changed direction, running towards an unknown destination.
Xia Yinian clenched her fist. She should have gone further earlier; maybe then she could have heard the voices clearly.
Now, all she could hear were mentions of killing and not wanting to see her... and even the voices were so unclear that she couldn’t make out who it was.
Could they be talking about... her?
With that thought, her heart immediately trembled slightly.
If it truly was her, then her earlier thought of going to see what was happening would have been like walking into a tiger’s den.
No, this place was too dangerous; she had to leave immediately!
Hearing no movement from that direction, Xia Yinian quietly emerged from the bushes and quickly walked in a certain direction.
But, luck was really not on Xia Yinian’s side this time, and soon, she realized she had taken a dead-end road.
In front of her was a cliff!
Of all places, she had walked into a dead-end!
Without thinking, Xia Yinian immediately turned back.
Suddenly, a black figure flashed in front of her eyes.
Yinian felt a blur before her eyes, and a fierce force hit her; then, she lost balance.
She fell backwards off the cliff!
...
Gu Beicheng’s heart suddenly clenched, as if something sharp had pierced right into it.
He lifted his hand, subconsciously covering the area where his heart was.
Why did it suddenly hurt so much here?
"Seventh Young Master, what’s wrong?" Chi He looked at his deeply furrowed brow with unease, "Seventh Young Master, are you feeling alright?"
Seventh Young Master was someone who could remain composed even if Mount Tai were crumbling in front of him.
Even if someone chopped him with a knife, he could do it without frowning.
Now, his painful expression really made people uneasy.
"Seventh Young Master, rest assured, we will definitely find..."
Gu Beicheng, however, no longer paid him any attention and strode forward.
