Chapter 165: Escape
"Boom~"
A dark cloud quickly gathered over the United States, and a bolt of lightning thicker than an arm quickly fell from the cloud.
It had a clear target, and it dived into the alley and landed directly on the man and the hound.
A white light suddenly lit up in the dark alley, and the greedy man and the hound disappeared from the world in an instant.
The unexpected pain did not come. Shi Heng and Xi Yuwan only heard a loud noise, and then there was no movement in the alley.
The two waited for a long while before opening their eyes. They stared in shock when they saw the empty alley.
The men who had just surrounded them were gone, and even the hunting dogs were nowhere to be seen. Only the shadow of a half-broken shotgun barrel remained on the ground.
The two men lay on the ground, listening to the thunder rumbling above their heads and watching the lightning streaking across the sky.
Several bolts of lightning struck the nearby walls and houses. The two also saw a very thick tree not far ahead fall to the ground with a loud bang.
Immediately after the thunder, heavy rain fell, washing away the blood in the alley and cleansing the ashes on the ground.
Shi Heng was helped to stand up by Xi Yuwan. They got closer and took a look at the ashes on the ground, and a feeling of fear welled up in their hearts.
Is this the power of nature?
Before the two of them left the alley, they heard the sound of a car outside.
In the rain, a group of people with real wooden weapons rushed in. When they saw the target of this trip appear, they hurriedly asked the two men.
"Are you all right?"
Shi Heng and Xi Yuwan saw a hint of red on the clothes of the people opposite them and quickly approached the group of people, "We are fine, thank you for coming to save us."
A group of people from the embassy surrounded the two people and looked around vigilantly, "Where are the people chasing you?"
Xi Yuwan pointed to a pile of ashes in the rain and said, "There was thunder here just now, and the hunting dog of the man who was chasing us was hit by the thunder."
.....
After reporting Xi Yuwan and Shi Heng's whereabouts to the embassy, the group waited for another half an hour.
During this half hour, several people felt like they were living in a year, looking at their phones from time to time hoping that they would ring immediately.
Lin Jin stood by the window holding up her cell phone and pretending to answer the call. She waited until the call was almost over before hanging up and walking back to sit next to Lin Yiwen.
But her face was a little pale now, and the blood color on her nails had faded.
Lin Yiwen thought she was frightened, so she quickly poured her a glass of water to calm her down.
Lin Jin smiled at her weakly, and just after taking a sip of water, she heard the phone ringing.
Xi Ye immediately clicked to answer the call and turned on the speakerphone on the table.
"We have successfully found Shi Heng and Xi Yuwan. Both of them have suffered varying degrees of injuries and have been sent to the hospital for treatment."
"But initially it seems that there is no danger to their lives. They are very lucky. When they were chased into a dead end, it suddenly rained in the United States, and the person chasing them was accidentally struck by lightning and died on the spot."
After hearing this, several people felt relieved.
God bless me, it really is God bless me.
There is always a way out, and they finally managed to escape the crisis.
Shi Yunshu was able to make the call this time. The call rang for a long time and was picked up a minute later.
"Hey, Mom and Dad, are you okay? Are you okay?" she asked panicked.
Xi Yuwan's voice came from the other end, "We are on the way to the hospital now. Your father and I are not seriously injured. Don't worry."
Hearing her mother's voice, Shi Yunshu burst into tears and cried heartbrokenly while holding her phone.
"That's great, mom. You don't know how scared I was just now. I was afraid something might happen to you. I'm glad you and dad are okay. I'll arrange a plane to pick you up right away."
"Okay, we will hurry back home after the inspection. The situation here is unclear, and we don't know if the people behind the scenes know about it. We can only feel at ease if we return home as soon as possible."
Xi Ye immediately took charge of the matter, "Don't worry, Yu Wan. Check your body carefully. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."
"Okay, thank you brother."
Xi Yuwan didn't say much, just said two sentences and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Yunshu suddenly felt like all the strength had been drained from his body.
Her limbs felt slightly numb and she gasped for breath to ease the tension in her heart.
The same went for Lin Yiwen and An Qingman; their hearts had not yet recovered.
It was such a thrilling scene. The elder sister-in-law/younger sister were being hunted abroad and they almost lost their chance to see anyone.
Now it seems that God really opened his eyes and allowed the two of them to escape the disaster.
I have to take some time in the next few days to go to the Taoist temple and the Buddhist temple to worship and drive away the bad luck on my body.
Everyone was relieved, except Lin Jin, who sat on the sofa motionless.
A shadow covered her eyes and she felt a little dizzy. The excessive use of her mental energy and supernatural powers caused her to completely lose her strength.
She barely held on until everyone left, then she quickly climbed into bed, covered her head with the quilt and slept for the night.
When Lin Jin woke up early the next morning, she opened her eyes and saw her parents standing beside her with worried faces.
Lin Yiwen's illness was cured, and his complexion became rosy again after he took off the mask.
Seeing Lin Jin wake up, he personally helped her up.
"Auntie, are you awake?"
Shi Xu pushed the table in front of her and placed a bowl of hot lean meat porridge on it. "I couldn't wake you up yesterday. Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to stay in the hospital for another day?"
Lin Jin slept all night, raised her hand and felt that her strength seemed to have recovered, so she said to her parents: "No, I was too tired yesterday, and I am fine now after a good sleep."
"I'm glad you're okay. If we hadn't seen your breathing steady, we would have thought you had the sequelae of a car accident."
Lin Yiwen took a coat and helped Lin Jin put it on. After she finished her meal, the family prepared to leave the hospital.
Lin Jin took the clothes and put them on herself, while she was concerned about the follow-up situation.
"Have uncle and aunt returned? Are the results of the examination out? Are the injuries serious?"
Shi Xu nodded, "I'm back. I arrived in China at six this morning. As soon as I landed, I went to the hospital for further treatment. Don't worry, the doctor said it's nothing serious."
"Your uncle was hit by a wooden bullet in the shoulder and calf, and his back was scratched by a dog. Your aunt was not hit by a wooden bullet, but her body was covered with scratches, but no important parts of her body were injured."
That’s good, Lin Jin felt fortunate.
Fortunately, I arrived in time yesterday, otherwise if I had been a step later, I dare not imagine what the consequences would have been.
"That's good. My aunt and the others have managed to turn a disaster into a blessing. As long as their lives are not in danger, everything will be fine."
“Mom and Dad, why don’t we go burn incense and donate some money some other day. Our family seems to have been through a lot recently.”
Shi Xu and Lin Yiwen agreed immediately after hearing this.
Lin Yiwen: "Okay, then next time we go back to Beijing, we will go with your aunt and the others. We haven't been very lucky recently."
