Chapter 108: Caught in the Whirlpool

"Go, go quickly! Go report the case and rescue the sisters imprisoned in the dungeon. Go quickly!~"

The woman urged and pushed Huang Xinran.

"No, I can't just leave you here. What will you do if they come looking for you if I leave?"

Huang Xinran made up her mind in an instant. She squatted down and said, "Come on, I'll carry you on my back!"

"No."

The woman refused: "If you carry me, neither of us can escape. I will be satisfied if I can escape, even if I die now."

"You are not allowed to talk about death. We must live! We must live forever."

Huang Xinran ignored her objections and forcibly carried her on his back and stood up.

Her body had been transformed by the "Qingdi Heart Sutra", and her strength was more than doubled. In addition, the woman on her back was as light as a feather, so she was not affected too much when running.

Even so, when they ran a short distance, they heard some movement behind them.

Huang Xinran was anxious.

After looking around, he chose a dilapidated house and hid inside.

Shortly after the two of them entered, a sound of hurried footsteps gradually approached and then quickly went away.

The two held their breath until the person walked away, then they finally relaxed.

"Let's go, let's get out of here first."

Huang Xinran didn't get a response. She looked back and saw that the woman had fainted. No wonder she didn't say anything. She bent down and carried the woman on her back. She jumped nimbly and took a step three meters away. She didn't have to worry about the other person being unconscious. Her escape speed was more than twice as fast.

She did not go directly to the police station, but instead turned around and went straight to the community where An Lan lived.

The night is deep.

The lights in every house were turned off one after another, and the whole city seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Huang Xinran did not rush in. Instead, she went around the gate and walked to the other side of the community's iron railing. Seeing that there was no one around, she tied the woman on her back with vines, then slipped along the tree trunk and hid in a corner of the An family's yard garden.

After putting the man down, she saw that he was still unconscious. She slipped to the window of An Lan's room and listened carefully. She didn't hear any movement. It seemed that An Lan hadn't finished get off work yet.

She was anxious, but there was nothing she could do but walk to the gate and wait.

When An Lan returned home, it was already midnight.

There were too many things to do in the bureau recently, and it was too late for her to come back after finishing them. She had originally planned to stay in the bureau's lounge for a night, but Director Tao couldn't stand it anymore and sent her back home.

In his words, "A girl cannot live as rough as us. No matter what, you have to go home and sleep. Otherwise, if your father asks about it, I won't be able to hide it for you. Come on, I'll walk you a little way."

Director Tao and her father have been good friends for many years, so he said that.

An Lan couldn't persuade him, so she went home. In fact, in her opinion, she just took a shower at home, took a nap for a while, and then had to get up and go to work again. It didn't matter where she slept.

She yawned, feeling a little sleepy, and without disturbing Aunt Wu, she took the key and opened the door.

But the moment she pushed open the door and entered the yard, she keenly sensed something was wrong, and she flashed and shouted, "Who?!"

"It's me."

Huang Xinran stood out from the darkness, "Miss An, I'm Huang Xinran."

"It's you, why are you here?"

An Lan did not let down her guard just because she was an acquaintance. On the contrary, her entire body was hidden in the darkness, and even her right hand quietly reached for her waist.

No, that's not right. There was a very faint fishy-sweet smell in the air. "What's wrong? Are you injured?"

Huang Xinran shook her head, thinking that the other party couldn't see clearly in the dark, and hurriedly explained, "It wasn't me, it was another woman who escaped with me..."

After Huang Xinran brought An Lan to see the woman, she explained the whole story.

"You mean, there were also a dozen women and children captured? And you were also chased?"

"right."

Huang Xinran nodded hurriedly: "I originally planned to go directly to the police station to report the case, but there were always people chasing after us. I had no choice but to come to you... I put you in danger, An Lan, I'm sorry!"

Huang Xinran was very ashamed.

This matter originally had nothing to do with An Lan, but when she came to look for him, she completely dragged him into the vortex. Now it was impossible for him to get out of it.

"I am a police officer. This is what I should do."

An Lan put down the medical kit he had just found: "Here are the things for you. Treat her first. I'm going to be out for a while."

She couldn't make the decision on such an important matter by herself, so she had to report it to her superiors.

"etc!"

Seeing An Lan taking the hat and about to leave, Huang Xinran hurriedly called her: "An Lan, I think this matter may not be simple." She hesitated: "Those are all vicious and desperate criminals. You are also a girl, you must be careful when you go out..."

"Don't worry, they can't do anything to me."

An Lan confidently comforted her: "Don't worry, I'll ask Aunt Wu to take care of you. Aunt Wu has been in my house for more than ten years and has watched me grow up. She is a trustworthy person."

"Thank you."

Huang Xinran thanked him sincerely: "An Lan, there is one more thing I want to ask of you. Can you...can you not reveal my existence to others?"

An Lan frowned.

"I didn't mean anything else!"

Huang Xinran was anxious and explained quickly: "You also know that it is not a good place. It would be bad for a woman like me to be arrested and locked up if the news got out. So, so..."

"Don't worry, I will keep your information confidential."

“…”

This is not what she wants!

Huang Xinran had a lot to say. She wanted to tell An Lan that there were worms in the Public Security Bureau and she wanted to tell her not to go. Those traffickers were even more vicious and evil, and their hands were stained with blood. But now the only person she could trust was An Lan.

Looking at the other person's receding back, Huang Xinran felt as if guilt was burning in his heart.

At this moment, Aunt Wu got the news, put on her clothes and hurried out of the room to look for her, "Ms. Huang..."

"Auntie Wu, call me Xinran."

She couldn't sit still, so she took a deep breath and stood up: "I have something to go out for a while, please take good care of her for me. I'll be back soon!"

"Xinran, are you still going out? But the young lady just told me to take good care of you..."

But Huang Xinran had already left quickly.

Standing on the street again, Huang Xinran didn't know what to do for a moment.

Go back to the place you escaped to before?

No, she had already made a move. If she went back now, she would either come up empty-handed or fall into a trap, and it would even cause trouble for the police's next move.

Ding ding ding ding ding...

Huang Xinran was startled by the sudden sound of bicycle bells behind him.
