Just before his consciousness completely dissipated, he heard a melodious voice, like a clear spring.
"Hey, wake up, wake up..."
...
Half an hour later.
The woman struggled to support a tall man as he walked unsteadily towards her.
The people on the helicopter parked nearby saw this scene and quickly got off the plane. They took the man from the woman's hands and then frowned and said, "Miss, where did you get such a person?"
The person speaking was the woman's bodyguard and also her 24-hour personal assistant.
The woman smiled upon hearing the voice and said, "I picked it up by the roadside."
"Huh?" the female bodyguard said in disbelief. "You can actually find a man in this desolate wilderness?"
The woman said, "Could it be that the person you're supporting is a woman?"
Upon hearing the sound, the female bodyguard secretly glanced at the person she was supporting, who appeared to be a rather handsome man.
She is a perfect match for the young lady, absolutely not bad.
Bah! What is she thinking? What nonsense! If the young lady finds out, she'll definitely get a scolding.
The young lady is here because she wants to escape an arranged marriage.
In the young lady's words, men would only affect her excellence.
The female bodyguard was still lost in her daydreams.
What she didn't know was that the young lady she was talking about had already boarded the plane.
Seeing that the female bodyguard hadn't followed for a while, he turned around, pulled himself out of the cabin, and said, "Xiao Shu, what are you standing there for! Hurry up and help her up."
Upon hearing this, Shuxin immediately came to her senses. Having just understood what the young lady was saying, she became even more puzzled.
"Help her up? Could it be that Miss intends to..."
Suddenly, Shuxin looked toward the cabin door, but couldn't see the young lady.
Finally, after thinking it over, I helped the person onto the plane.
The plane then quickly took off.
After boarding the plane, Shuxin dropped him off at a random spot and then rushed to Ding Yi's side, whispering gossip, "Miss, where are you planning to take him?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi glanced at Shu Xin and said calmly, "What do you think?"
Shuxin immediately felt alarmed and said, "Miss, you don't mean to take him back, do you?"
Under Shu Xin's watchful gaze, Ding Yi nodded.
Shu Xin exclaimed, "No, Miss! You know perfectly well that she wants you to marry her son. Doing this will only anger her and won't do us any good."
Ding Yi said coldly, "I am not a pawn, and I will never let her manipulate me."
And she would never let her marriage become a victim.
She would marry someone she truly loved, and although she wasn't yet, she was very clear that she didn't like that person's son.
That's why I ran away from home for more than half a month, ostensibly to relax, but actually to escape.
Shu Xin frowned, looking like she wanted to say something but dared not, which made Ding Yi smile.
What do you want to say?
When Shuxin saw Ding Yi ask the question, she blurted out, "But we are still young and inexperienced. I'm afraid I can't protect you, and she will definitely not let you go, Miss."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi laughed and said, "Silly girl, even if I listen to her and compromise this time, there will be a next time. Unless I am a puppet for the rest of my life, we will be adversaries sooner or later."
But now, I don't want to continue. Only in this way can I repay my master's years of teaching.
Upon hearing this, Shu Xin frowned even more deeply and said, "But Miss's master has been missing for many years, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead."
Ding Yi said coldly, "Whether I live or die, I will find out the truth. Besides, a teacher for a day is a father for life."
Seeing this, Shuxin was still very worried, but she said nothing more.
She knew Ding Yi's personality very well; once she made a decision, it was unlikely to be easily changed.
After the conversation ended, Ding Yi got up and walked to the man. She then took his pulse, and it took a while before her brows relaxed.
Looking at the man in front of her, Ding Yi had to admit that his appearance was indeed outstanding. Even though she had met countless people, she rarely encountered a man with such high looks.
Even in his current state of destitution, nothing can stop the undeniable aura of power emanating from him.
"You must come back to life, don't waste all my efforts. After all, I rarely take the initiative to save people, you are the first, and probably the last."
The reason they took action was entirely due to the man's amazing willpower and good looks.
Ding Yi was thinking, "I didn't know I was this beautiful even when I was unconscious. I wonder if I'll be even more stunning when I wake up."
Shuxin, watching the unusually quiet young lady from a distance, frowned deeply.
...
A dozen minutes after the helicopter left, two more groups of people arrived at the foot of the desolate mountains in the suburbs.
Zheng Qiangkai appeared here with a group of people.
The reason we got out of the car was because the place where we were being held was located halfway up a mountain and there was no main road, so the car couldn't drive in at all.
His original intention was to prevent anyone from easily rescuing Dongfang Yi, but now he never expected that he would find someone for himself and set up many obstacles.
Zheng Qiangkai looked at the mountain in front of him; the sun was shining brightly, but he had no choice but to move forward.
"Let's go!" Zheng Qiangkai said through gritted teeth.
Then a group of people went into the mountains.
Not long after they left, several vans stopped less than a kilometer away from them.
First and foremost was the secluded chrysanthemum, accompanied by the secluded bamboo.
As the head of the intelligence trade, tracking such matters was a piece of cake for Youzhu.
"The other party abandoned their car and went into the mountains a kilometer ahead. I sent you their location, Youju."
Yuju stood beside the car and nodded.
"Alright, I'll take my men into the mountains right away. You stay here and hold the fort for us. Contact us anytime if there's any news."
Youzhu nodded, and Youju, seeing this, led the people into the mountains.
"etc."
Youju stopped and looked at Youzhu, asking, "What is it?"
Youzhu took back dozens of similar sophisticated instruments from behind her and handed them to Youju.
Yuju took it with a puzzled look and asked, "What is this?"
Youzhu said, "My newly developed tracking thermal imaging thermometer can detect the body temperature of a living person and display the shape of the object as long as someone appears within a ten-kilometer radius of you. With it, we should be able to find people much faster."
You have handheld models, but I'll be using drones for large-area searches later; that should be much more efficient.
After hearing this, Youju was pleasantly surprised and said, "This is really a good thing, thank you."
In this way, even if the area to be searched is large, this tool can at least halve the time required.
Youju then distributed the thermal imager to everyone and had Youzhu explain how to use it before they entered the mountain.
Youzhu didn't stop either. First, she monitored Zheng Qiangkai's location in real time and shared it with everyone.
