"Damn it, that bitch is like a dead fish all day long, can't even have a baby, what use are you to me?"
The man cursed even more fiercely, repeatedly kicking the woman's lower abdomen with force.
The woman's slender body appeared even thinner in the ill-fitting, oversized clothes.
She curled up tightly, remaining silent no matter how the man beat and cursed her, only clutching her head tightly, her eyes empty and numb.
When Gu Baiwei met the woman's lifeless eyes, she could no longer control the anger in her heart.
She shook off Shen Yanqing and rushed forward, raising her hand to deliver a resounding slap to the man.
Caught off guard by the slap, the man glared angrily at Gu Baiwei, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
The moment he saw her face clearly, the anger on his face turned into amazement and greed.
Shen Yanqing strode forward, blocking the man's malicious gaze: "How much money will it take to release her?"
A lewd smile spread across the man's face: "Anyway, I'm already tired of playing with you. If you like, you can take it for ten thousand yuan, but there's a condition."
Shen Yanqing's dark eyes seemed to be covered with frost; this was the first time someone had dared to make demands of him.
He rubbed his right thumb together twice, then looked coldly at the man, his expression unreadable: "What are your conditions?"
The man licked his lips: "Hehe, let me play with your woman for one night, and this slut is yours."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanqing sneered. Before the man could react, she grabbed his right hand fingers and twisted them backward with force. With a soft cracking sound, the man screamed and knelt on the ground.
Shen Yanqing shook off his hand with disgust, looked down at him, and stared at him with a gaze devoid of warmth, which made the man shiver involuntarily.
"Who do you think you are, daring to covet my people?"
Shen Yanqing gave a cold laugh, his aura turning icy cold: "If there's another time, I won't just break your fingers."
The man wanted to say something, but when he met the beast-like gaze, he was startled, shrank back, and didn't dare to utter a sound.
Shen Yanqing slowly took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped each of her fingers clean, threw it on the man, and turned to walk towards the woman beside her.
He frowned and pulled all the cash from his wallet: "Take the money and get out of here."
After saying that, he threw the money on the ground and pulled Gu Baiwei away.
Gu Baiwei glanced back at the stunned woman on the ground, then reluctantly followed Shen Yanqing: "If we leave her here, what will that man do...?"
"He doesn't have the guts."
Shen Yanqing didn't consider himself a good person, and if it weren't for Gu Baiwei, he would never have bothered with such trivial matters.
However, just as the two reached the small inn at the edge of the village, they heard faint footsteps behind them.
Shen Yanqing turned around and frowned when he saw the woman cautiously following them. "It's no use you following us."
The woman looked at Gu Baiwei pitifully, and only then did Gu Baiwei realize that the woman didn't even have a pair of shoes on her feet.
A feeling of pity inexplicably rose in my heart: "It's getting dark, should we let her stay for now?"
Shen Yanqing didn't say anything, but when she went in to book rooms, she booked three rooms.
Gu Baiwei knew that he had agreed, so she immediately pulled the woman and followed.
"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back. Be careful."
After assigning the rooms, Shen Yanqing whispered something in Gu Baiwei's ear.
Gu Baiwei nodded, first escorting the woman back to her room before entering her own.
The inn in the village was poorly equipped. In the room, besides a single bed with a yellowed sheet, there was only a broken table with a missing corner and a dirty kettle.
Whether in her past life or now, Gu Baiwei has never lived in such a simple room.
There was something stained on the bed sheet, a yellowish stain that looked rather disgusting.
There was also a strange, unpleasant smell in the room.
Gu Baiwei covered her nose and walked over to open all the windows. She stood in front of the windows for a while and felt a little better before walking to the bedside. She unfolded the quilt, chose the relatively clean side to face up, and spread it on the bed before sitting down and waiting nervously.
Tonight, her coming to the hotel with Shen Yanqing was just a pretense. They would quietly leave after nightfall, and even if those people chased after them, they wouldn't be able to find them.
Just then, her phone vibrated. Gu Baiwei unlocked her phone and saw the message from Ye Sinian. Her anxious heart finally calmed down a little.
After getting away from those people, Gu Baiwei sent a message to Ye Sinian, briefly explaining what had happened, and instructed him to take Ye Chuyue and Xia Shihan away as soon as possible. They had already checked into a hotel in the county town and were waiting for them to come and meet them.
At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, which startled Gu Baiwei. Immediately afterward, a message came through on her phone.
It is Shen Yanqing.
Shen Yanqing: Open the door.
She finally relaxed, walked over and opened the door. Shen Yanqing squeezed in through the door and handed her a package: "Something's not right in this village. We need to leave as soon as possible."
"I'll text you when I get back to my room. I'll come through the window and we'll leave together."
Shen Yanqing lowered his voice and spoke in her ear, his deep, magnetic voice carrying a burning heat that made Gu Baiwei's cheeks flush slightly.
She nodded: "Niannian and the others have already arrived at the hotel in the county town. They can leave at any time as long as we arrive."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something cold being shoved into her hand. Shen Yanqing leaned close to her ear and said, "Take it."
She looked down and realized that she was holding the same gun that the fake doctor had been carrying.
It was the first time she had ever touched something like this, and she was so startled that she almost dropped the gun.
Shen Yanqing chuckled lightly: "Don't be afraid, just shoot if anything unexpected happens."
As he spoke, he wrapped her hand in his large, well-defined hand and placed it on the gun: "Watch closely, press here to fire."
The overly intimate gesture made Gu Baiwei's cheeks burn even hotter, and she nodded somewhat awkwardly.
Shen Yanqing chuckled and released her hand: "I'm leaving now, see you later."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his slender fingers gently rubbed the back of her hand before releasing it.
It wasn't until the door was gently closed again that Gu Baiwei realized she had been teased.
My heart started pounding, and I couldn't help but curse myself for being so spineless.
She rushed over to lock the door, but just as her hand touched the doorknob, a furious roar came from Shen Yanqing's room next door: "Get out!"
It's Shen Yanqing's voice!
This was the first time Gu Baiwei had ever heard him speak in this tone.
I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Had something happened?
Thinking of this, she quietly opened the door a crack and looked out through the gap.
Just then, Shen Yanqing's door opened, and a woman wrapped in a blanket came out of the room.
The woman was haphazardly wrapped in a blanket, revealing her snow-white shoulders and a pair of long, straight legs, with her long, jet-black hair casually draped behind her head.
