Chapter 172 The Mysterious Man



Wen Yi ran all the way, and her last lifeline was to call Master Gu, but there was no response, which cut off Wen Yi's path to survival.

She had no time to regret it; she could only run forward as fast as she could.

Those people not only chased after him, but even brought dogs to sniff him out, determined to make sure Wen Yi had no chance of escape.

Wen Yi ran all the way, but misfortune never comes singly. She was already being chased closely, and then she tripped over a tree branch and fell, twisting her ankle. The pain was so bad that she couldn't get up.

Those people were hot on their heels, and when Wen looked into the distance, he could still see the figures of the people chasing after them.

“There it is.”

"Front."

"speed!"

Those people spotted Wen Yi and rushed towards him.

Wen Yi wanted to get up, but the sharp pain in her ankle bone made her lose all her strength, let alone get up. Even if she did get up, she couldn't escape these people's pursuit.

The dogs that were chasing them started barking wildly as soon as they smelled the scent, and the people were getting faster and faster. Wen Yi could only close his eyes in despair.

Thinking about what to do with my last life.

I'm just a little unwilling to accept it.

However!

Just as the group of people charged in with their dogs, Wen Yi felt himself being suddenly lifted up, followed by a violent jolt.

She opened her eyes and found herself being carried away by someone and run into the distance.

The man ran very fast and was clearly familiar with the area, darting through various side streets. In no time, he had shaken off his pursuers.

Wen Yi was placed by a stream.

"You twisted your ankle, let me straighten it for you," the other person said.

Wen subconsciously observe the other person.

The other person was dressed rather poorly and was about the same age as Wen Yi. His hair was messy and wispy, and he had a beard, but he had a very good body proportion. His clothes could not hide his slightly protruding chest muscles. He squatted down to examine Wen Yi's ankles and found that the bones on his arms were clearly visible and the veins were bulging, giving him a strong sense of power.

Unlike Gu Huaixu's stunning youthful beauty, this man appeared extremely mature, giving people a sense of security for no apparent reason.

Wen Yi, who was being hunted and whose life was hanging by a thread, felt inexplicably at ease.

"Thank you... Ah."

Just as Wen Yi was about to express her gratitude, the man suddenly pinched her ankle hard, causing Wen Yi to scream in pain.

"Does it hurt?" The man looked up, his voice a deep, resonant baritone. "Bear with it."

After saying that, he increased the force.

Wen Yi almost instinctively screamed in pain, but fearing being discovered, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and endured it, cold sweat pouring down her forehead from the pain.

Wen Yi was in great pain.

The man seemed oblivious to her pain, showing no mercy to Wen Yi's ankle. Then, a cracking sound was heard, and Wen Yi cried out in agony.

"Alright," the man said.

Wen Yi was still in pain, her eyes were swollen, and her face was covered in cold sweat and tears.

The man said expressionlessly, "You can try standing up."

Although Wen Yi hesitated, the pain was now subsiding. She tried moving her ankle and it was indeed not as painful as before.

The man reached out to her. Wen was taken aback for a moment, but in the end, she still used the man's hand to stand up, put her injured foot on the ground, and tried to stand up.

There was no pain, and I could walk normally, as if the pain had never happened.

Wen Yi let go of the man's hand and walked around in circles twice, somewhat surprised, "How did you do that?"

The man had no expression and was very indifferent. He reminded him, "If you follow this stream outwards, you will reach the highway. Just find a car, get in, and leave."

After he finished speaking, he started to walk away.

Upon seeing this, Wen Yi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm.

The man turned around, his gaze cold and wary, which made Wen Yi feel a little embarrassed.

Wen Yi suppressed his embarrassment and said, "Yes, yes, that's how it is. I was kidnapped here because you saved me, which is equivalent to saving my life. Could you please give me your contact information? I will come to thank you in person later."

"Need not."

The man was extremely indifferent to Wen Yi's expression of gratitude, pushed her hand away, and walked towards the woods.

Wen Yi was about to call for help when the man's voice rang out again, "If you don't leave, they will come after us, and I won't be able to save you then."

Wen Yi immediately realized the danger. Although she had many doubts about this man, she didn't want to get too involved with him at this time.

"Thank you. My name is Wen Yi, and I live in Haicheng. If you ever need anything in the future, please come to me. I will definitely repay this life-saving grace!"

After speaking loudly, Wen turned and walked outside.

Following the man's instructions, she followed the stream downstream. It was very dark there at night, so the moon shone brightly overhead. She made her way out of the woods and reached the road without any major incidents.

There are quite a few vehicles coming and going, mostly trucks.

Wen stood at the door, watching the passing vehicles and trying to flag them down. She didn't need anyone to give her a ride; she just wanted to borrow their phones to call the police.

Unfortunately, Wen tried to flag down several cars, but none of them stopped.

Wen Yi was somewhat anxious, and even wondered if the other cars would have time to brake if she suddenly rushed out at their speed.

However, just then, Wen heard a noise in the jungle, and her heart jumped up and started pounding wildly. She stared at the location of the noise in the jungle, and could vaguely hear dogs barking.

Those people caught up...

Wen Yi's mind went blank for several seconds until he saw shadows in the jungle and dogs running outwards. He realized then that those people had come after him!

Wen Yi's heart began to pound wildly in panic, her limbs stiffened, and she watched helplessly as those people rushed out of the jungle. Almost instinctively, Wen Yi wanted to run across the road.

However, just as Wen Yi lifted her foot, a car sped towards her without stopping. The car opened its door and pulled Wen Yi inside in the blink of an eye.

The car door closed, and the car sped away.

People with dogs couldn't chase each other out of the jungle, and the roads were empty, so you could see everything clearly at a glance.

They lost track of the woman.

The man in the lead turned around and slapped the person next to him hard.

"Useless! You even managed to lose track of this woman!"

After saying that, he turned around and slapped another person.

These two people were the ones who brought Wen Yi here, but lost her. They lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word.

The leader, still furious, kicked the two men to the ground and beat them severely.

"Boss, she... called."

One of his men cautiously approached with the phone, handing it over with both hands. His expression was very respectful as he looked at the phone, clearly indicating that the person making the call was very intimidating.

The leader was also in a difficult position, his expression pained as he picked up the phone and held it to his ear, "Hello..."

The other party said something, and the leader's face turned ashen, the phone he was holding almost slipping from his hand and falling to the ground.
