Chapter 378 Someone came to rescue her
Rough hands grabbed her hair and dragged her out of the corner of the cellar.
Also pulled out with her were the mother holding her child who had suffered a heart attack, and two other women who were trembling with fear.
Liu Chang and others had already escaped in the chaos, and the only sound left at the entrance of the cellar was the kidnappers' angry breathing.
"Damn it, run away, let them run away."
A man with a scar on his face had a fierce look in his eyes and kicked the empty oil barrel next to him, making a loud, sharp noise.
The other short and fat kidnapper spat and looked at Ji Wan with resentment.
"It's all this bitch's fault. If she hadn't been yelling and distracting us, how could she have gotten away?"
Scarface's gaze was fixed on Ji Wan's face, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Ji Wan was pushed and staggered a few steps, his back hitting the cold wall, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Her clothes were already tattered, and now there were even more stains on them. Her face was covered in dust, and there was blood at the corners of her mouth from the beating she had just received.
In a miserable state.
But her eyes never gave in, and she stared back coldly at the villain in front of her.
The mother holding the child collapsed to the ground, pleading desperately, her voice hoarse.
"Please, let my child go, he's dying..."
Scarface growled impatiently.
"Shut up. If you keep crying, I'll take care of you too."
The short and fat kidnapper's eyes wandered over Ji Wan unscrupulously, with disgusting obscene thoughts.
"Boss, this girl is pretty, with delicate skin and tender flesh. You can tell she's from the city."
He licked his cracked lips, his tone ambiguous.
"The guy's already escaped, and we brothers have been holding it in for so long, why not..."
Upon hearing this, Scarface also showed a grim smile on his face, and it was obvious that he had some idea.
Several other kidnappers also surrounded them, their eyes greedy and dirty, like a group of hyenas smelling blood.
Fear was like an icy poisonous snake, instantly wrapping around Ji Wan's heart.
She subconsciously shrank back, her body pressed tightly against the wall, every pore screaming danger.
"What do you want to do?!" Her voice trembled uncontrollably, but she remained calm.
"What?"
The short and fat kidnapper smiled even more obscenely and approached step by step.
"What do you think we want to do? We're out here in the wilderness, and no one can hear us even if we scream at the top of our lungs. We're just using you to vent our anger and let you know what will happen if we ruin our plans."
The other kidnapper had already started unbuttoning his belt, letting out a disgusting lewd laugh.
The two women who were captured screamed in fear and hugged each other and trembled.
Despair was like tangible darkness, which made Ji Wan almost breathless.
No, she couldn't just accept her fate.
The instinct for survival made her burst out with her last bit of strength.
At the moment when the short and fat kidnapper's hand was about to touch her shoulder, Ji Wan suddenly raised her foot and kicked him in the lower abdomen with all her strength.
"ah--!"
The short and fat kidnapper let out a scream, then bent over in pain, holding his stomach.
The sudden change made the other kidnappers stunned for a moment, and then they became furious.
"You stinking bitch! How dare you fight back!"
Scarface roared, raised his big hand like a palm-leaf fan and slapped Ji Wan in the face.
Ji Wan turned her head to avoid it, and the slap brushed past her cheek with the sound of wind, causing a burning pain.
Like a trapped beast cornered, she grabbed a loose brick nearby and waved it around wildly.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here."
Her voice was hoarse, filled with determination to fight to the death.
However, the disparity in power is cruel.
The brick in her hand was quickly snatched away by one of the kidnappers and thrown to the ground.
The two kidnappers grabbed her arms, one on the left and one on the right, and pinned her against the wall.
The cold wall poked her back, and the rough hemp rope tightened around her wrists, causing sharp pain.
Scarface walked closer with a cruel smile on his face.
"Let's see how you can run this time!"
His hand reached for Ji Wan's collar.
The sound of cloth tearing echoed in the cellar, extremely harsh.
Ji Wan closed her eyes, tears of humiliation and anger silently falling.
Just then.
"Bang--!"
With a loud bang, the already shaky wooden skylight in the cellar was kicked open from the outside, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
The dazzling light suddenly shone in, causing the kidnappers, who were used to the darkness, to subconsciously squint their eyes.
A tall and stern figure appeared at the edge of the skylight, against the light, like a god descending.
A bone-chilling voice, filled with overwhelming anger and murderous intent, came crashing down.
"Let her go!"
It’s Chi Wenyan!
He is here!
The kidnappers obviously didn't expect someone to come so soon, and they were a little panicked for a moment.
“Who is it?!”
Scarface shouted sternly, grabbing Ji Wan tightly, as if he wanted to take her hostage.
Chi Wenyan didn't answer, but jumped directly from the skylight and landed steadily.
Behind him, well-trained bodyguards filed in, moving swiftly and taking control of the situation in an instant.
Chi Wenyan's eyes immediately locked onto Ji Wan who was pressed against the wall.
When he saw her torn collar, messy hair, blood at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes filled with tears of humiliation, the pressure around him instantly dropped to freezing point.
An unprecedented violent emotion surged wildly in his chest.
His eyes became extremely terrifying, like a dormant beast finally baring its fangs.
The man's voice was low and hoarse, and every word seemed to be tempered by ice.
"I repeat, let her go."
The kidnappers who had captured Ji Wan were frightened by the powerful aura he exuded and involuntarily let go of their hands.
Almost at the same moment Ji Wan was freed, Chi Wenyan strode forward.
He took off his black coat and wrapped it around Ji Wan's trembling body with extraordinary gentleness, protecting her completely in his arms.
A familiar warm scent with a hint of cedar surrounded Ji Wan.
The nerves that were tense to the extreme suddenly relaxed.
All the fear, grievances and anger found an outlet at this moment.
She looked at the man's familiar jawline, felt the firm strength coming from his arms, and the scene before her eyes began to blur and spin.
"Chi Wenyan..."
She used up her last bit of strength to murmur his name.
Then, her body went limp, she completely lost consciousness, and fainted in his arms.
Chi Wenyan tightened his arms and hugged the unconscious girl tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
He lowered his head and looked at her pale and haggard little face. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
He is late.
Raising his head, Chi Wenyan looked at the kidnappers who were scared out of their wits. His eyes were so cold that there was not a trace of warmth in them, only endless chill and murderous intent.
"Don't let any of them go."
The smell of disinfectant filled his nose, causing Ji Wan to frown.
