Chapter 661 - She Said That You Were the One Who Pushed Her Into the Pit

At the same time, behind Gu Mingye, the military vehicles closed in one by one...

Soldiers in military green uniforms alighted one after another.

The short and dark-skinned man’s expression changed and he subconsciously stepped back.

Then, he looked at the approaching people and grabbed Li Xueqing.

“Ah!” Li Xueqing screamed and tensed up.

The short man yanked Li Xueqing from the compartment floor and positioned her in front of him.

Li Xueqing could clearly see that some of the officers were looking sideways, as though they had seen something they shouldn’t have.

The sense of humiliation suddenly seemed to permeate her veins and pores. Li Xueqing shut her eyes and sniffed, but she couldn’t stop herself from crying.

She was 21 years old this year. Up till then she had kept herself clean and pure, and held high standards.

Now, not only had she been harmed, she had been violated and her nakedness seen by so many men.

Li Xueqing wished she could die now!

However, she was so frightened that she did not dare to move.

“Go away, or I’ll kill her!” The short and dark man took out a knife from nowhere and pressed it against Li Xueqing’s neck. “Step back!”

The disdainful smile on Gu Mingye’s face faded as he gestured for his men to retreat.

That person carried the crying Li Xueqing and jumped off the vehicle without being too vigilant.

After jumping off, he waved his knife around and realized that his brothers had all been subdued and pinned to the ground.

The people who had been subdued by them were also released. Without a doubt, it was done by these soldiers!

The man felt his heart sinking. However, it came to his mind that he had harmed many people, and even if he weren’t given a death penalty, he would probably be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

He looked around and felt indignant.

“Don’t come any closer. If you do, I’ll kill her!”

“Help me! Help me!” Li Xueqing’s voice was hoarse and she couldn’t stop crying. “Help...”

“Shut up!” The man was exasperated and shouted, “Let’s go! Move aside!”

“Calm down.” Gu Mingye was unusually calm. He waved his hand and said, “Everyone, retreat!”

With that, four or five officers retreated.

When the man saw this, he put on a stern expression.

He looked around and found a small path. However, the next moment, he heard a loud noise.

Bam!

At the same time, his shoulder blade was pierced by a bullet and blood splattered.

The sharp pain struck him like a flash of lightning, and he screamed. “Ah!”

It rendered him unable to keep his hold on another person. Li Xueqing took the opportunity to struggle. Immediately after, a figure appeared and subdued the person.

Yang Dawu suppressed the man and shouted, “Bring me a rope!”

Li Xueqing fell to the ground and cold mud splattered all over her.

Seeing that the person was subdued, Li Xueqing gasped for air heavily and finally fainted.

Li Beinian was lying on the ground. After Yang Dawu’s had spoken, she sensed that overhead, a shadow fell over her.

She opened her eyes and a familiar face registered deeply in her vision.

Li Beinian was stunned and did not react at all.

Mu Xichen bent over and picked her up. Then he turned and retraced his steps in silence.

Both of them did not speak, but as Li Beinian looked at his side profile, she suddenly felt that he knew.

He seemed to know everything.

Unknowingly, she fell into a deep sleep. Shrinking back into his arms in semi-consciousness, she mumbled, “I’m cold.”

Mu Xichen looked down at her and then shifted his gaze onto Yang Dawu. “Go help Ah Ye.”

When Li Beinian woke up, she was in a strange room.

The interior was simple and sturdy, and the military green bedding exuded a scent that told her it might be brand new.

Li Beinian looked around. It was already dark and it was still raining.

However, it sounded much lighter.

There was only a small lamp in the room and a tall figure stood by the window with his hands behind his back. He seemed to have sensed that she had woken up and turned around.

Li Beinian looked at him in a daze.

Mu Xichen walked towards her slowly and asked, “How are you feeling?”

Li Beinian shook her head and got up. “Maybe I ran too hard in the afternoon. I’m a little tired. What time is it now?”

“10: 30 pm.” Mu Xichen stood in front of her bed. “Are you hungry?”

Li Beinian shook her head and looked at Mu Xichen. “Have you found Li Xueqing?”

Mu Xichen’s face darkened on hearing this.

The night light was dim to begin with, and under such light, his eyes seemed to be increasingly darkening.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Beinian felt something amiss. She looked at him, her heart beating faster now. “Is it...”

Could it be that he couldn’t find her...

“In the afternoon, the Swift Eagle Investigation Unit solved a missing-person case.” Mu Xichen sat down beside her bed and looked at her with his dark eyes. “They saved seven abducted women who are now being transferred to the local police station to be sent home.”

Li Beinian calmed down and felt a little glad, but at the same time, she was still in shock. “Oh my god, luckily I told Instructor Yang, otherwise...”

As she spoke, she met Mu Xichen’s dark gaze and quickly kept quiet. “Aren’t you busy today? Why are you here? Oh yes, where is this?”

“My room.” Mu Xichen’s voice was faint. “My dormitory, before I retired.”

“And it’s still around!” Li Beinian had an expression of disbelief. Then, she couldn’t help but ask, “What about Li Xueqing...?”

“In the hospital.”

“Why?”

“She was raped.” Mu Xichen continued lightly, “And she doesn’t seem to be in the right state of mind.”

Li Beinian was shocked and instinctively covered her mouth.

She felt a little fearful.

Seeing her reaction, Mu Xichen looked away and said, “If you hadn’t told Dawu, she’d probably be tortured even more badly and they would not have been able to save her.”

Li Beinian’s heartbeat quickened. She picked up the blanket and the light in her eyes trembled.

A girl who falls into the hands of a human trafficker would definitely end up in a terrible state for sure.

There were many of them. After being gang-raped and then sold... Li Xueqing’s life would have been over.

However, she also knew that Li Xueqing wouldn’t have breathed a word, if she were the one who had suffered all of this.

Hence, she had hesitated and struggled.

Having heard Mu Xichen’s words, she felt a little guilty.

Mu Xichen looked at her for a long time. Suddenly, he reached out and held her firmly in his arms. He whispered, “You did right.”

Li Beinian paused for a moment. Then, she hugged him and pursed her lips silently.

“If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have been able to come back.” Mu Xichen’s voice was faint as he patted her back lightly. “But not everyone should be rescued, Ah Nian.”

Li Beinian was stunned.

Mu Xichen gently let go of her and met her gaze. He slowly said, “She said that you pushed her into the pit.”
