Hua Yan sensed her body was uninjured and stared at the man beneath her, asking, "Are you hurt?" Getting a simple grunt in response, Hua Yan's heart trembled. She glanced back at the pursuers chasing them and said without hesitation, "Give me the gun."
But the enemy man ignored her request, lost in thought. Hua Yan realized she had been too impulsive; even if their roles were reversed, she wouldn't hand a gun to her kidnapper.
With a sigh, she fell silent and concentrated on lightening her weight on him. As they passed through the mountain path, the enemy man staggered, and Hua Yan instinctively leaned against a rock with her right hand. Just that moment, a smile spread across her face.
Taking advantage, she pulled the enemy man's sleeve and said, "Stop. Quickly move this rock."
The enemy man set Hua Yan down and looked at the slightly protruding rock, not understanding how it could be moved. But Hua Yan's gaze was determined, and he exerted his strength to shift it.
With a creak, the rock indeed moved aside. Hua Yan stuck her head in; the air was dry, with no scent of wild animals. Without waiting for the enemy man's reaction, she pulled him in and hid.
Slowly feeling the cave wall, Hua Yan walked to the end and heard the desperados chasing through the entrance, continuing forward. The enemy man lit a lighter and found the cave was five meters long and three meters wide. At the end of the cave was a one-meter gap blocked by a large stone.
Thus, Hua Yan and the enemy man hid behind this large stone. Even if they lit a candle, those outside wouldn't see them. In a moment, the cave brightened with light.
The enemy man removed his clothes, revealing his right arm soaked in heavy blood. Despite his thick inner clothes, blood stains seeped through, but the outer layers remained dry. They both breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this.
With fresh blood dripping from his arm, the enemy man took out a dagger, white wine, and gauze from the large black bag to tend to his wound.
"Let me do it," Hua Yan said. The enemy man looked at her and untied the rope from her hands.
Hua Yan took the dagger and carefully cut open his clothes, heating the blade over the candle flame. Without a single frown, she skillfully probed into his wound.
Her adept technique and extraordinary courage left the enemy man speechless. In no time, she extracted the bullet, poured white wine on his wound for disinfection.
Suddenly feeling a stabbing pain, the enemy man gritted his teeth in agony, shooting a fierce glare at Hua Yan.
"What are you looking at? Thinking I'll fall for you?" Hua Yan retorted, glaring back. She didn't know why, but she was becoming less afraid of this person.
The enemy man's lips twitched, turning away to dress. Hua Yan used white wine to wash the blood off her hands, but the stains persisted. Frustrated, she muttered to herself, leaning against the rock. Feeling hungry, she used her other hand to drink milk and eat jerky.
Relaxed and leisurely, her demeanor annoyed the enemy man, who occasionally glared at her.
"Why are you staring at me when you're fine?" Hua Yan asked angrily.
"Are you on a pleasure trip?" he retorted.
"I'm being kidnapped," Hua Yan replied lazily, glancing at him without moving.
"Now I'm really annoyed," the enemy man thought to himself, jealous that the person he had kidnapped seemed more carefree than him.
"What beef do you have with the Hu family?" Hua Yan finally asked what had been on her mind.
The enemy man's face darkened, and after a moment, just when Hua Yan thought he wouldn't answer, he spoke, "I am an affiliate of the Hu family, my father was an indoor servant there. Although he was busy most of the time, we three had a particularly happy life together.
Two months ago, my father returned home covered in blood, staggering, and said the master of the house wanted him dead, urging my mother and me to leave quickly. Unfortunately, I was the only one who managed to escape. When I cautiously returned, I found my father and mother lying stiff in a pool of blood. How can I not seek revenge for such a deep-seated hatred?"
The enemy man's voice grew increasingly somber, with a hint of sorrow. Hua Yan pondered the unpredictability of life but remained rational, saying, "Do you know why your father was killed by the Hu family? From what I know of Hu Li, unless someone in his service committed an unforgivable act, he wouldn't order such a killing."
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
However, uncertain if it was Hu's father who did it, she only raised questions. The enemy man suddenly stared blankly, facing Hua Yan's question, he didn't know how to answer because he really didn't understand why his father was killed by the head of the house.
Seeing the expression of the enemy man, Hua Yan shook her head in silence, it seemed that there were still some stories, she was not afraid to die, and she said, "Maybe you are prejudiced and misunderstood some things."
"Are you suggesting that my father deserved it?" The enemy man glared at her with a fierce light in his eyes.
"Since you don't know the cause and effect, any possibility exists. What do you say?"
"If my father was really wrong, why did my mother die in a pool of blood?" The enemy man's eyes turned red, raising his voice in questioning.
"You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so how can you be sure that your mother was killed by the same person who pursued your father? Maybe your mother chased her husband to death, and maybe your mother did something to provoke the killer to kill?"
"Stop it!" The enemy man shouted loudly, his emotions were very intense. He suddenly realized that his father did not ask him to avenge him at that time. But with his father's personality, if he was really wrongly killed by the head of the family, he would definitely avenge himself. Is it possible that his father did something wrong, and the enemy man's face was not calm.
Hua Yan was really tired of just now. Thinking that apart from having supernatural ability, ordinary people would not find that the entrance of the cave was closed, she closed her eyes peacefully and thought that she was sleeping. But just as she was about to fall asleep, the enemy man rudely pushed her.
Hua Yan thought there was a situation and woke up immediately and looked at the entrance of the cave alertly. However, after listening for a long time, she didn't see any difference, turned her head and glared at the enemy man, and asked him what was going on.
The enemy man said coldly with a cold face and a cold voice, "You can go." He cut the rope on Hua Yan's hands and feet with a knife.
Hua Yan was certainly happy that her hands and feet were not tied up, rubbing her sore wrists and ankles without getting up immediately. Looking quietly at the enemy man. If she left now, it would not be the best decision. Without a means of transportation, she would not go far, and she would not get a good meeting with the desperados outside the mountain.
"Aren't you leaving?" The enemy man seemed to have reduced his IQ because of his emotional excitement, and he didn't think about the danger of Hua Yan going out.
"Are you trying to kill me if I go out?" Hua Yan asked angrily.
"Don't wrong me!" The enemy man shouted loudly.
Hua Yan took out her ears and said, "Don't shout at me, your temper is really bad."
"If I find out that my father is innocent, I still won't let you go." The enemy man suddenly said coldly and clearly.
In an instant, Hua Yan's eyes widened with anger as she glared fiercely at him. He was actually considering kidnapping her. In that moment, she contemplated attacking and killing him.
The enemy man also realized he shouldn't have spoken his mind, feeling regretful, he bowed his head and fell silent.
Just then, from far within the cave, gunshots rang out. Both Hua Yan and the enemy man were startled. After listening carefully, the enemy man said, "It sounds like two groups are shooting at each other. One group is from the police." He glanced at Hua Yan as he spoke.
"Oh? That should be Lao Yang coming to find us. We're saved," she replied.
"You stay here, I'll go," the enemy man suddenly got up, slung his bag over his shoulder, and prepared to leave. Hua Yan grabbed hold of him. It was possible that if the enemy man left alone, he would be ambushed by other desperados under Hu's mother. Yet, Hua Yan also didn't want to let Hu's mother have her way.
"Hu's mother won't easily let you go. You'd better come with me. Once we're in a safe place, I'll arrange for someone to send you to Germany," Hua Yan said seriously, looking into the enemy man's dark eyes.
"Why are you helping me? Aren't you supposed to be on Hu Li's side?" the enemy man asked.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not interested in you. I just don't want Hu Li's mother to succeed in wanting you dead," Hua Yan replied.
There was a hint of amusement in the enemy man's eyes as he said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll come after Hu Li in the future?"
"I'm not afraid. I know that Hu Li's life is something you won't get," Hua Yan smiled confidently. The enemy man's eyes softened as he said, "Having you by his side, Hu Li has no idea. . . whether he's lucky or unlucky. . . Anyway, I've decided to go with you later."
Now it was Hua Yan's turn to be surprised by the enemy man's extraordinary courage. She asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid I'll change my mind and hand you over to the police?"
"I'm gambling," the enemy man said, taking off the large black bag from his back and sitting back down on the ground.
Hua Yan couldn't help but mutter to herself. This man was too unpredictable, his thinking seemed unconventional, not like an ordinary person's. Perhaps he was also a sensitive person. Such people, without exceptional insight into others, would die very young. Hua Yan acted casually and against common sense, but it was because of her perceptiveness that she could accurately gauge the inner thoughts of others.
Half an hour passed, and the gunfire gradually ceased. Soon, they heard the barking of police dogs and the sound of dried leaves being trampled. Just as Hua Yan and the others were preparing to go out to see what was happening, a police dog stopped at the cave entrance.
"Why did it stop here? Could it be that Xiaoyan is inside this mountain?" Lao Yang's voice could be heard.
Then a young voice answered, "But Xiaohei said that Hua Yan is here."
"Give me the flashlight. Xiaoyan, are you inside?" Lao Yang shouted loudly as he searched the cliff for crevices. But after a while, he still hadn't seen any cracks. Growing anxious, he finally heard Hua Yan's response.
Hua Yan let them push the boulder at the cave entrance, and as soon as she came out, Lao Yang pulled her aside to carefully check for injuries. After questioning her for a long time, Lao Yang finally remembered the enemy man.
Turning around, several armed police officers had already tied up the enemy man. At this moment, he was looking at her expressionlessly, as if he were a desperate man without desire or fear of death.
