Chapter 196 We are a step slower
At this moment, Ye Che was lying quietly on the ground, with blood on his forehead and a dagger stuck in his chest, motionless.
Next to him, another man collapsed in front of a tin house, his body soaked in blood, his eyes revealing a hideous look. His death was so tragic that it was unbearable to watch.
Ye Bai's eyes became blurred in an instant, and tears burst out like beads from a broken string. His throat seemed to be tightly strangled by something, and he choked but could not make a sound.
"Ye Bai..."
Seeing this, Han Jianye hurriedly wanted to go forward to comfort him, but he was pushed away.
With tears in his eyes, Ye Bai staggered to Ye Che's side and slowly squatted down.
His hands were shaking violently, not knowing where to put them. His voice was choked and hoarse, filled with unbelievable sorrow: "Brother..."
Ye Bai raised his hand tremblingly, ready to test Ye Che's breath. At this moment, his mind could already see the heart-wrenching look of his parents.
How should he explain this to his parents?
When thinking of this, Ye Bai couldn't help but shed tears...
At this moment, a sudden change made everyone present, including Ye Bai, seem to be frozen in place, dumbfounded.
"hiss……"
A burst of rapid and weak gasps broke the silence. Ye Che's body trembled slightly, and then he mumbled incoherently: "Fuck, it hurts so much."
Everyone looked stunned!
( . )! ?
Ye Bai was shocked, but an indescribable joy flashed across his eyes. He said excitedly: "Brother, you are not dead, that's great!"
Ye Che rolled his eyes at him, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he spat: "Pah, pah, pah, you have a crow's mouth."
Then, regardless of the surprised looks of the people around him, he resolutely pulled out the dagger that was stuck in his body.
Then, he carefully took out a stack of red envelopes that he was going to give to employees when work started, as well as the amulets that Ye's mother had carefully prepared, from the hidden pocket of his coat.
A thick stack of red envelopes and amulets were pierced by the gravity of the dagger and pressed onto his sternum. No wonder Ye Che's face turned blue in pain.
He forced a smile, looked at Ye Bai and said, "It was these red envelopes and my mother's amulet that saved my life at the critical moment. They blocked the knife for me, otherwise what you are looking at now would be my dead body."
Ye Bai cried with joy and hugged Ye Che excitedly, "Brother... I'm glad you're okay. I thought... I thought..."
Ye Che patted Ye Bai on the back and comforted him: "It's okay, you won't die, you were just almost scared to death."
He was also startled. The woman suddenly went crazy and slashed at them with a sickle in her hand.
While dodging in a panic, he accidentally tripped over a stone and hit his forehead, then fainted.
He was woken up by the noise. When he woke up, he felt a splitting headache and a sharp pain in his chest that made him unable to move.
Then, he saw Ye Bai crying beside him.
Han Jianye was greatly relieved to see that Ye Che was safe and sound.
He recalled the desperate and broken picture of Ye Bai just now, and felt heartbroken.
Su Wan slowly walked to the corpse nearby, only to see that the man was already bleeding profusely and was no longer breathing.
At this moment, they could only wait quietly for Mai Shaozhen and others to arrive.
Han Jianye looked at Ye Che and said softly, "I'm glad you're okay. Tell me in detail what happened."
Ye Che looked at his friend beside him helplessly, and sighed, "His name is Chen Jianyun, and he is a business partner of mine. He brought me here to visit the agarwood tree today."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Ye Bai again and continued, "Didn't you ask me to find a chance to leave?"
After Ye Che finished speaking, he began to fall into deep memories again: "I had planned to take two videos for you before leaving, but who would have thought that just when we were about to leave, the woman suddenly said that we had come from afar and wanted to give us some freshly pulled bamboo shoots. Jianyun walked over out of curiosity, but the woman took out a sickle from the bamboo basket and chopped Jianyun fiercely. I was so scared at the time. After the crazy woman chopped Jianyun, she wanted to chase me. While I was running away, I accidentally tripped over a stone and hit my head. Then the crazy woman took out a dagger and stabbed me. Anyway, I fainted from the pain."
After saying that, he wiped his forehead with his hand and frowned, "Damn, it's bleeding."
Han Jianye looked at the watch on his wrist and said in a deep voice, "We are nearly half an hour late. She must have already escaped." Then, he turned his gaze to Ye Che, "Look at her face. Are you sure that person is Li Liya?"
Ye Che nodded with great certainty, his tone full of unquestionable determination: "Yes, it's her."
"She can't run far." Han Jianye acted decisively and quickly called Si Yue, instructing them to start searching the mountain immediately.
The group walked into the tin house and saw that it was fully equipped with all the necessities of life. There would be no problem living there.
Ye Bai found men's and women's clothing in the bedroom, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious. He asked a key question: "This iron house is obviously the residence of the forest ranger, so where is he now?"
Everyone was confused when they heard this.
Liao Wei speculated: "Did he escape with Li Liya?"
Ye Bai turned around and asked Ye Che: "Brother, when you went up the mountain, besides Li Liya, did you find anyone else here?"
Ye Che replied: "Are you talking about the forest ranger? I heard Jianyun call him Lao Huang, a bachelor in his fifties. When we went up the mountain, Jianyun called him and said he was going down the mountain to purchase supplies."
"He has been down the mountain to purchase supplies for more than an hour and he hasn't come back yet? Did he drive there?" Su Wan asked puzzledly.
Ye Che shook his head: "Who knows, maybe he was riding a motorcycle."
Han Jianye's heart sank when he heard this, and his expression became serious: "Oh no, maybe the ranger met Li Liya on the way, and the two of them ran away together?"
He immediately reported the situation here to Political Commissar Gao, and asked him to arrange for various departments to set up checkpoints at various intersections.
Ye Bai searched the bedroom carefully. He noticed the hospital examination report hanging on the wall and learned that the ranger's name was Huang Bu.
He leaned over to look under the wooden bed and found a biscuit tin hidden in the corner. He reached out and took it out.
He found that there was not much dust on the surface of the iron box, obviously the owner of the iron box often took it out to check.
Out of curiosity, he opened the iron box and saw some valuable gold jewelry, a mobile phone, household registration booklet and ID card inside.
He picked up the ID card and looked at it carefully, then said excitedly, "Come in quickly."
Han Jianye was the first to step into the house. Ye Bai handed him his ID card and said, "It really is Li Liya. It seems that she left in a hurry and didn't even have time to take these important things with her."
