Chapter 57: Betrayed by Zhang Pan'er and Driven Mad
The next day, just as dawn broke, before his family got up...
Zhang Pan'er brought some dry food and water and took Quan Ge to the nearby mountains and forests.
After walking for a while, the two found a hidden cave.
Zhang Pan'er: "Brother Quan, why don't you stay here for a couple of days? I'll bring you water and food every day."
"Okay!" Quan Ge didn't mind at all, as long as there was a place to hide.
Hearing this, Zhang Pan'er smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first and come back this afternoon to avoid arousing my family's suspicion."
Quan Ge nodded: "Go ahead, be careful."
......
After Zhang Pan'er came down the mountain, she immediately went to the educated youth compound.
Li Xiaoqing was washing up in the yard when she saw her coming over, and she pouted:
"Oh, you're here again so early in the morning. You really think this place is your own home."
She now has a good relationship with Zhou Linghui and has heard some old stories from her, so naturally she doesn't give Zhang Pan'er a friendly look.
"It's none of your business!" Zhang Pan'er snorted. "Mind your own business like a dog catching a mouse."
As soon as Xiao Feng came out, he saw the two of them confronting each other.
He frowned: "Pan'er, what's wrong?"
“Brother Xiao, let’s go outside to talk.” Zhang Pan’er gestured to him, and the two of them went out of the educated youth compound together.
Just then, Zhou Linghui came out with a toothbrush in her hand and asked Li Xiaoqing curiously, "Who was that just now?"
She was discharged from the hospital a couple of days ago, and now her cold is better, and her complexion looks much rosier.
Li Xiaoqing rolled her eyes: "Who else could it be but a woman who's eager to marry a man who lives off a woman?"
That Zhang Pan'er is really something, she returned the 100 yuan without even blinking an eye.
Xiao Feng is truly penniless, relying entirely on women for help—what a freak!
"...Cough cough..." Zhou Linghui was rinsing her mouth when she heard this and almost choked: "What kind of name did you come up with..."
She was actually a little guilty. If we're talking about women who were eager to pursue men, she seemed to have been more like one before. It was really embarrassing.
"I just like calling you that." Li Xiaoqing turned her head and noticed that her expression was off, then realized what was wrong and comforted her, "It's okay, it's good that you realized it in time."
The attitude towards friends and strangers must be different.

On the other side.
On the path next to the former educated youth compound.
Xiao Feng noticed Zhang Pan'er's troubled expression and asked, "What's wrong, Pan'er?"
Zhang Pan'er bit her lip: "Brother Xiao, do you remember what I told you a couple of days ago? I said I was going to find someone to deal with Jiang Feiyan."
Xiao Feng: "Hmm, is it because things didn't go well?"
“Yes, and the problem is quite serious…” Zhang Pan’er gave a general overview of the situation.
Of course, when she talked about Brother Quan, she casually mentioned how the two met, without saying that he had those kinds of feelings for her.
After hearing this, Xiao Feng's previously bright expression turned completely gloomy:
"So, you mean your so-called Brother Quan is hiding in the mountains right now?"
Zhang Pan'er nodded: "Yes, that's right."
"Pan'er, you're really confused." Xiao Feng glanced at her with some displeasure and continued:
“This kind of gang leader has countless people’s blood on his hands. You shouldn’t have associated with this kind of evil person in the first place.”
“I hadn’t thought about these things before…” Zhang Pan’er’s eyes darted around.
She had previously received a lot of food and good things from Brother Quan, and now that she thinks about it, he was actually quite nice to her.
It's a pity that we won't have such a good backer anymore.
"You came to me simply to ask how to deal with this person." A cold smile curled at the corner of Xiao Feng's lips.
"I think we should just report it to the police and say that there is a bandit hiding in the mountains, and ask them to go and catch him."
This guy Quan is obviously no good. He was chased and killed last night, so he probably has some blood on his hands. It's good that the police arrested him.
“But…isn’t this a bit inappropriate…” Zhang Pan’er hesitated immediately upon hearing this.
Although she was a little disgusted that Quan Ge had lost his power, he was still genuinely good to her, and she felt that what she was doing was a bit unfair.
"Are you still thinking about him?" Xiao Feng frowned, and said irritably:
"You're just too naive and easily fooled!"
If he truly cared about you, he wouldn't have come looking for you at a time like this!
He's being hunted down right now. If those people trace it back to you and target you, do you think you can escape?!
Hearing this, Zhang Pan'er also became a little scared: "Then... what should we do!"
She hadn't really thought that far ahead; she just wanted to sever ties with him.
Xiao Feng raised his eyes: "It's very simple. Just do as I say and go to the police station to report the case."
“Okay!” Zhang Pan’er nodded.
She values her life highly and can't afford to be dragged into this because of a burden.
A hint of apology flashed in Zhang Pan'er's eyes.
I'm sorry, Quan-ge, I have to give up on you...
......
Around noon.
Inside the cave, Quan Ge ate some dry food and water and then closed his eyes to rest.
However, before he could rest for long, he keenly heard footsteps not far away.
Quan Ge suddenly opened his eyes and immediately got up from the ground.
Just then, a voice faintly came from the other side: "Quick! The young comrade said the cave is just ahead!"
Quan Ge's face darkened; there was something he didn't understand.
He's been betrayed by Zhang Pan'er!
......
It was evening.
Zhang Pan'er was sweeping the yard.
Suddenly, a man covered in blood, holding a knife, and with a ferocious face rushed in from outside.
When Zhang Pan'er saw him, she was so startled that she dropped the broom she was holding: "Brother Quan? What brings you here!"
What's going on? Haven't the police caught the person yet?
"Ha, how did I get here? It's all thanks to you!"
Quan Ge glared at her fiercely, his face full of resentment, and said:
"Zhang Pan'er, I've sacrificed so much for you, and this is the result of trying to teach someone a lesson."
I never expected you to betray me just to distance yourself from me!
I was so blind to have accepted such a heartless bastard as my sister!
"I...I don't know what you're talking about..." Zhang Pan'er's face flashed with panic, and she was terrified. She quickly said, "Brother Quan...believe me, I really didn't do anything..."
Quan laughed loudly a few times, looking at her with a manic gaze: "Stop talking nonsense, if I go to hell, I'll drag you down with me!"
Just then, a voice came from outside: "Come quick, the thief has run into this house!"
Upon hearing this, Quan Ge's eyes hardened, and he quickly stepped forward and captured Zhang Pan'er, who was trying to escape.
He grabbed Zhang Pan'er's neck viciously with one hand and held a knife to her face with the other.
He shouted at the group of people who had just rushed in, "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!!"
