However, Jiang's mother died en route to the hospital in the ambulance, and Xu Yaowei's act of beating someone to death in the street was extremely heinous. He has been arrested and will be sentenced soon.
Late at night, the moonlight flickered under the cover of dark clouds.
Jiang Xinrou hid in a large thicket of trees. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and she was panting heavily.
She had been running for a full hour; if the forest hadn't been so vast and the trees so dense, she probably would have been caught long ago.
She absolutely cannot be caught like this.
At that moment, countless beams of light shone from the woods toward them; these were the flashlights carried by the men in black who had come to capture her.
Fortunately, it's nighttime now, so finding her won't be easy for them.
But... once dawn breaks, I'll be caught sooner or later.
It seems she can't escape being caught, but she'd rather die than fall into Huo Siyan's hands.
She gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.
Of course she could die, since she wasn't going to live much longer anyway.
Since she was going to die anyway, she had to first confirm whether Jiang Ran was really dead.
What if...?
What if she was rescued before she drowned in the river? Even if I died, I wouldn't be at peace with that!
Taking a deep breath, she pulled a gun from the large pocket she carried with her.
She had taken the gun from a dead man two years ago when she was trapped in the chaotic black market.
She always carried it with her, but unfortunately she didn't know how to fire a gun.
She tried loading the gun and pulled the trigger at a man in black who was searching in the distance.
The expected gunshots did not ring out, and she gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath.
Sure enough, this isn't something you can learn easily.
"Who goes there!!"
Just then, a beam of light shone on her.
She looked startled, but her body reacted before her brain could process it, and she quickly ran out.
"stop!"
"Bang--"
Gunshots suddenly rang out, and Jiang Xinrou gasped for breath.
It wasn't her who fired the gun, but the person behind her...
Immediately afterwards, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. She reached up and covered her arm, and blood instantly gushed out between her fingers.
She then realized that she had been shot.
Damn it!
She can't die here!
In dire straits, people's potential is always unleashed to unleash infinite possibilities. At this moment, Jiang Xinrou had forgotten the physical pain, and only one thought remained in her mind: she had to escape from here.
She ran faster, and as she ran, more and more blood gushed from the wound on her arm, leaving a trail of blood in her wake.
She knew very well that she couldn't escape this time.
So she changed direction and ran towards the bridge where she had just entered the woods.
Before she dies, she must see Jiang Ran die with her own eyes before she can be at peace.
Otherwise, she won't find peace even as a ghost!
She moved quickly, and with the cover of darkness, she soon arrived at a small hill not far from the bridge.
She used the dense bushes for cover and peered through the gaps in the leaves towards the bridge.
Not far away, a group of men in black stood in a row. Huo Siyan was squatting on the ground, holding Jiang Ran in his arms.
From a distance, Jiang Ran looked as pale as a sheet of paper, devoid of any vitality.
Seeing this, Jiang Xinrou finally smiled with satisfaction.
Seeing Jiang Ran dead put her at ease. Even if she would die soon, she would be happy as long as Jiang Ran died before her!
She would rather die with dignity than be tortured to death by Huo Siyan!
Thinking of this, she glanced at the gun in her hand.
After figuring things out along the way, she now knows how to fire the gun.
She pointed the gun at her temple—
Just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly noticed that Jiang Ran's body in the distance seemed to move.
How is that possible!
She stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and upon closer inspection, her face fell.
"Cough cough..."
After Huo Siyan continuously transferred his qi to Jiang Ran, her originally pale face finally showed some signs of life.
"Cough cough..." She frowned in discomfort, coughed twice, and then vomited a lot of water.
"She's awake! She's awake!" Wen Qing, standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim joyfully, "Mr. Huo! As long as Miss Jiang vomits up the water in her stomach, she should be fine!"
Jiang Ran's eyelashes, wet with water, trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
What caught her eye was Huo Siyan, whose face was just as pale as hers. She was slightly stunned for a moment, and many images flashed through her mind.
Just now... just now, Jiang Xinrou pushed me into the river?
Before losing consciousness, she vaguely saw a figure.
Was that figure Huo Siyan?
Did he save me?
Just as she was confused, she suddenly felt her wrist being grabbed, and then she was pulled into someone's arms by a strong force. A pair of large hands held her tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear again.
The joy of finding what he had lost exploded in Huo Siyan's mind, and he couldn't help but increase the force.
Almost...
He almost lost her again.
"Cough cough cough...it hurts..." Jiang Ran couldn't help but frown.
Seeing her in pain, Huo Siyan loosened his grip slightly, but did not let go completely, maintaining the posture of holding her.
"Huo Siyan, you..."
"careful!"
