Winston felt incredibly touched and even more self-reproachful. With a whimper, he transformed into a human, his face still covered with blood.
âItâs my fault. Iâve implicated you.â Winston enveloped her hand within his large palm. He looked towards Curtis and asked, âWhere are those people?â
Curtis said coldly, âDead.â
Winston pounded a fist on the ground, causing the surface to vibrate. âI really want to kill them a second time!â
Bai Qingqing said meekly, âOne really isnât allowed to kill in this world...â
The three males didnât respond to that. Bai Qingqing looked around and asked, âParker didnât come?â
âI called him, but no one answered,â replied Muir.
Bai Qingqing felt a tad disappointed. She had applied for a leave of absence to see him. In the end, she saw everyone else but him.
âHeâs probably busy, and itâs not convenient for him to carry a phone. Itâs fine.â Though Bai Qingqing said that, the disappointment in her eyes was evident.
Curtis hugged her, and as they approached the roadside, they heard the police siren.
âYou guys called the police?â Startled, Bai Qingqing hurriedly gestured for her mates to hide.
All three of them were naked.
Muir lowered his voice and said, âI think it was your classmate who called the police.â
The color of blood drained from Bai Qingqingâs face. Drats. Now that the entire school has found out about it, how am I going to face this?
A police dog was running in their direction, and there was no time to hesitate. Bai Qingqing said, âForget it, you guys transform into your beast forms and hide yourselves. Iâll go back with them first.â
Curtis pecked on her forehead before decisively transforming into a snake and slithering away.
Muir and Winston also transformed into their beast forms and flew and ran away respectively.
The police heard the sounds from the bush, and instantly someone shouted using a loudspeaker: âWhoâs where? Weâre the police. Please come out immediately.â
âItâs me, itâs me!â Bai Qingqing raised her arms and crawled towards the road, deliberately making the plants in the vicinity shake to disguise the sounds of her mates leaving.
The policemen rushed towards her and pulled Bai Qingqing onto the road.
âDonât be scared. Youâre safe now. Did you get injured?â
This voice was very young, even tender. Also, it sounded kind of familiar.
Bai Qingqing looked up and was so surprised that she let out a gasp. âZhang Xin? Why are you here?â
Zhang Xin looked very concerned as he led her in the direction of the police car. âI was the one who filed a police report.â
Bai Qingqing was stunned. Since the one who filed a police report was him, how was the school involved in this? Had everyone found out?
Reading her expression, Zhang Xin explained, âThe school doesnât know of your kidnapping yet. My dad works at the public security bureau, and I asked him to look into your case.â
Bai Qingqing: âHehe...â Then, I really ought to thank you.
Seeing her look so feeble and her clothes so filthy and disheveled, one couldnât help but think that she had experienced something bad.
Zhang Xin hesitated to speak. Seeing that Bai Qingqing seemed to care a lot about the schoolâs attitude, he added, âDonât worry, this incident wonât spread.â
Regardless, he was helping out of kind intentions, so Bai Qingqing still thanked him sincerely, âThank you.â
Zhang Xin didnât ask. However, the police had to conduct their routine questioning.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Recalling the corpses strewn all over the ground, Bai Qingqing nervously stuttered, âI... I donât know anything. I ran off the moment I got out of the car.â
Zhang Xin heaved a big sigh of relief. âIâm glad that youâre fine. Iâd thought...â
âThought what?â Even in such a situation, Bai Qingqing was very calm facing the young Zhang Xin. She narrowed her eyes at him.
âThought you were... you-know-what.â As he spoke, Zhang Xinâs face also turned red. He immediately explained, âYou canât blame me. I mean, you look so... so... so frail and defenseless.â
An expressionless Bai Qingqing replied, âItâs just motion sickness.â Plus fainted from soaking in a hot spring for too long, thatâs all.
Zhang Xin: â...â
