Chapter 138, First Release of Banxia Novel
Jin Jin always carried medicine with him in his pocket. He sprinkled the medicine on the wound, then tore off a piece of his clothes to wrap the wound on his thigh.
After quickly treating the kitten, Jinjin grabbed it, stuffed it into her coat, and led it away, trying to find a way to escape.
Bai Li stretched out her little paw and patted him: "Meow."
Put me down, I'll run by myself.
Jinjin runs very slowly, and Bai Li doesn't want to add any more burden to him.
"Don't move."
Jin Jin pressed his head back down, panting heavily: "We don't have much time left."
It's almost dawn. The other side has more people. By daybreak, they'll definitely discover Lao Dan's disappearance. When that happens, they'll find him even if they have to dig three feet into the ground.
Bai Li was rendered speechless by Jin Jin. He tilted his head back and looked at the sweat on Jin Jin's face.
The sweat wasn't from exhaustion, but from the pain.
He limped along, and after running for an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped.
Daylight broke.
Jin Jin fell on a slope and took the kitten out of his arms.
"Lili, can you read a map?"
Bai Li shook her head.
When he first came down the mountain, his dad gave him a map, which he studied for a long time, but he still got lost.
After a month of struggling, he finally managed to enter the city with his belongings on his back.
Jin Jin shoved the map into his hand: "You have to recognize it."
Bai Li looked at him in confusion: "Meow?"
Can't you just admit it?
Of the two of them, one only needs to be able to read a map.
Jin Jin's face was very pale. He had lost a lot of blood from his legs. He had lost too much blood, and after such a long escape, he had reached his limit.
"Let's split up."
Jinjin said, "I can't take you with me anymore."
Bai Li frantically pawed at him, "Together!"
Jin Jin has lost so much blood, what will happen to him if he gets caught by bad guys?
"Lili, listen to me."
Despite her pale face, Jin Jin's tone was firm: "Let's go."
Bai Li was unwilling to leave.
"Hurry up!" Jin Jin frowned and said sharply, "If we both get caught, what's the point of my injuries?!"
Bai Li took two steps back after being yelled at.
Jin Jin urged him on forcefully, as if to make sure he could walk. Jin Jin even told him, "Your second sister is in the emergency room. Don't you want to go see her?"
Bai Li, her eyes red, said, "Yes."
He missed his second sister, but he also wanted Jinjin to come along with him.
Jinjin urged him, "Let's go!"
Bai Li knew that even if he stayed, Jin Jin wouldn't agree. He wiped away his tears with his paw, bit the map, and ran away in the direction Jin Jin had pointed out.
Jin Jin watched as the small, snow-white figure completely disappeared from his sight. He closed his eyes, forced himself to stay upright, and chose another path.
On that road, he deliberately and secretly spilled a little blood on the ground.
If you don't look closely, you won't notice the bloodstains.
But Jinjin knew that those people would definitely find out.
"elder sister."
Jin Jin leaned against the tree trunk, moving with difficulty. He knew things wouldn't get much better, but he didn't regret it. After leaving there, he was able to spend these few more days with his sister, which he felt was a good deal.
I miss you so much.
He murmured softly, "My sister, I may never see her again."
He could faintly hear footsteps behind him, and even the sound of a safety bolt being pulled.
On the other side.
The snow-white kitten ran swiftly, not daring to look back, simply following the path pointed out by Jin Jin, running forward at its fastest speed.
Until they reached the fork in the road, the kitten braked suddenly, plop, and fell over.
The map was thrown out, and the round little kitten tumbled several times before finally stopping.
"Meow."
The kitten, having been bumped on the head again, rubbed its battered head and meowed softly.
His white fur was rolling on the ground and was already dirty.
Three paths lay before her. Bai Li spread out the map Jin Jin had given her, trying hard to understand it.
However, after looking at it for several minutes, Bai Li dejectedly bit the map, resignedly closed her eyes, and spun around in place.
He spun around until he was dizzy, then *thud*, he fell down and whichever road he was facing, he ran in that direction.
It's on the far right.
Bai Li used the staged accident tactic to find a way out and continued running with her head down.
He's running hard, and his husband is searching for him.
To identify a wolf and find a cat.
Langhe sniffed the lingering scent of the kitten in the air and was seriously searching for a route.
After learning about Milk Cat's situation, Blackfoot Cat, who was away from home, took Yan Cen's private jet and ended his honeymoon with Yan Cen early.
Under the command of the black-footed cat, all the cats and dogs set out to search for the missing kitten.
"Lili was taken away too quickly."
Lang He turned his head and said to Xie Chen, "I can only give a vague direction. It's very difficult to get a clearer answer."
"You just need to do your best to help me find direction."
Although Jin Jin had warned Xie Chen not to act rashly, he was not one to be manipulated.
Tell him to wait for Joe's instructions and follow the steps Joe has laid out.
He can't possibly do as he's told.
Lang He nodded to Xie Chen, then focused intently on sniffing Bai Li's scent.
The ability to identify and track wolves is a talent passed down from their ancestors, a unique gift of their tribe.
After an unknown amount of time, Langhe provided a route.
As they walked along the road, Qiao called again.
"What's your decision?" Joe asked bluntly.
Xie Chen's voice was steady: "I need to check on Lili first before I can give you an answer."
"Okay, I'll let you watch one of his videos first."
After saying that, Qiao hung up the phone and redialed the team responsible for exchanging Bai Li and bringing her back.
"Where's Bai Li? Record a video of him for me now."
The leader answered the phone, his face grim: "Master, Bai Li, he...?"
"What happened to him?"
"He ran away."
"waste!"
As expected, Joe flew into a rage.
He traded the woman the police valued most for Bai Li's return.
This Bai Li was his bargaining chip to control Xie Chen! Now he was already negotiating with Xie Chen and making demands, but his subordinates came to tell him that he had lost his bargaining chip.
This made it hard for Joe not to be angry.
"Go find him for me! If you can't find him, you know what will happen."
After saying this, Qiao angrily threw his phone to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a thick carpet on the floor, so the phone wouldn't break.
"Go and call Old Wu here."
After smashing his phone, Joe suddenly calmed down and instructed the people around him to invite his most trusted confidant.
My confidant is from Country H; he is mysterious and powerful.
Because of his presence, Joe survived several unexpected attacks.
"Old Wu."
When the man arrived, Qiao rubbed his temples with one hand and spoke to him: "We had agreed to use Bai Li to control Xie Chen and turn him into our pawn. Now, the plan has changed."
"What?"
"Bai Li ran away."
Qiao's eyes darkened: "Without Bai Li, we can't control Xie Chen."
Old Wu smiled upon hearing this.
"Without Bai Li, Xie Chen can be controlled."
He said it so softly that Qiao didn't hear it at all.
Under Qiao's impatient gaze, Old Wu said, "Don't worry, I will go there and handle this matter personally."
"OK."
Joe still trusted him: "You can choose how many people you need to bring. Oh, and you can bring King back with you while you're at it."
"That unfilial son, I'll teach him a lesson when I get back."
Old Wu grunted in agreement and turned to leave.
Joe stared at his back, only able to see that his back was thin and small, but he couldn't see how thick the black mist around him was.
Of course, Joe couldn't see that his territory, hailed as the origin of evil, was filled with black mist, which wouldn't make people negative, but rather would make them even more greedy.
The timeline extends to the third day.
Over three days.
Bai Li was unable to escape the forest.
Jin Jin was found; his wound had become infected due to improper treatment.
The leader sent two people to escort him back, but judging from Jinjin's condition, it wasn't ideal.
"Boss, what if he doesn't make it back?" the man in charge of delivering the gold asked anxiously.
"If he dies on the way, there's nothing we can do."
The leader didn't value King highly; in his eyes, King, who was determined to escape his father, was a complete idiot.
He forgoes a mountain of gold and instead revolves around a woman.
That's really embarrassing.
"Your subordinates have him?" He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Based on my experience, King's life is in serious trouble."
The subordinate said, "If Old Dan isn't dead, taking him with us might save his life."
Unfortunately, by the time they found Old Dan, he was already dead.
Old Dan's death was also tragic; before he died, he was castrated.
The leader waved his hand, telling them to leave quickly.
Jinjin was placed in the back seat of the car, and her breathing became weaker and weaker.
Deep in the woods.
"Meow."
A meowing sound rang out from inside the cave.
The little kitten, covered in dirt, clutched a green fruit in its paws, its face scrunched up, licking it every now and then.
The fruit was hard to eat, but the kitten was very hungry.
He doesn't seem like a black-footed cat born to survive in the wild, possessing hunting abilities.
In the woods, he could only find green berries to eat. If he didn't eat, he wouldn't have the strength, and without strength, he wouldn't be able to run away.
"I can smell it."
At the same time, Xie Chen, with Lang He, finally arrived at the front of the forest.
"Lili is right here," Lang He said with certainty.
The forest is visibly large, so finding a tiny kitten would be quite difficult.
Xie Chen brought a GPS tracker and was the first to step into the woods.
"Search separately."
To improve efficiency, Xie Chen did not choose the team method.
He chose a path for himself, relying on his intuition, to find and bring back his cat.
"Boss."
Before Xie Chen turned around, Lang He called out to him, "You're very capable. I think you can definitely find Lili."
Xie Chen didn't say anything, but strode forward.
The woods were unsettled, as several groups of people were searching for Bai Li.
When Xie Chen was searching for Bai Li the next day, he ran into the leader of the group looking for Bai Li.
Unfortunately, the other party was talking about Bai Li at that moment.
"Boss, if Old Dan hadn't knocked me out and taken Bai Li away, wouldn't we have been able to avoid this miserable search?"
The leader's eyes grew even colder as he thought of this.
"I should have tied him up before I went to sleep."
The man was still grumbling, "Old Dan is really driven by lust. When he sees a good-looking kid, he can't control his lustful desires."
While they were talking, Xie Chen, who was behind the tree, heard these words and his cold eyes turned bloodshot.
"The old Dan you're talking about, did he mess with my Lili?"
The sudden remark startled the people who were chatting.
They instinctively grabbed their guns, pointing them directly at Xie Chen's forehead.
"Xie Chen?"
The leader recognized Xie Chen's appearance; since they had exchanged Bai Li, they naturally already knew about Xie Chen.
Xie Chen seemed not to hear their questions and walked towards them on his own.
"Where is Lili?" He stared at the leader's face, his usually deep voice carrying an indescribable eerie chill.
The leader sensed something was wrong, pulled the trigger, and threatened, "Stop! Take another step forward and I'll shoot!"
Xie Chen remained fearless and continued walking forward.
"Bang--"
A loud gunshot echoed through the woods. The leader of the gunmen looked at Xie Chen, who was completely unharmed, with a look of terror on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Bang bang bang—"
Bullets kept coming out, but they couldn't hit a single one.
This man is completely different from the Xie Chen they had investigated beforehand.
This... is clearly not human.
"I'll ask one more time, where is Lili?"
Xie Chen's figure appeared in front of the leader like a ghost. He reached out, grabbed the leader's neck, and asked again.
"I...I don't know."
The leader pleaded in anguish, "He... ran away, I really... don't know where he went."
A cold glint appeared in Xie Chen's bloodshot eyes.
"Since you know nothing..."
He said in a low voice, "Then there's no need to keep you here."
It might have been a moment, or it might have been a long time.
Xie Chen walked out of the woods, and behind him was nothing but emptiness.
A vicious person, having committed too many murders, is said to be tainted by too much evil. To beat someone like that shows a complete lack of humanity; even if they wear human skin, they are not truly human.
Without their own awareness, they had been slowly transformed into monsters.
Such a monster, not human, can only be burned into a handful of black slag when burned.
The wind blew it away, and all traces were gone.
"Meow?"
Did they fight?
The dirty little cat, munching on a fruit, also heard the gunshot. He froze for a moment, then quickly finished his fruit, grabbed the incomprehensible map, and continued his frantic search for his way.
As long as you explore many paths, the kitten firmly believes that one of them will eventually be the right one!
