Chapter 86
Qiao Anran couldn't help sobbing, but didn't dare to make too much noise. She hid behind the rock wall and looked at the people by the waterfall. For a happy and cheerful 8-year-old girl, this night's experience was like the most horrific and twisted dream. When I woke up from the dream, my parents were still there. Those monster-like people were all fake and were all caught by the police.
But she knew that it was all true. Mom and Dad were stabbed so many times, will they die? She wanted so badly to go back to her parents and leave this horrible place.
She tried to hold back her tears, but her body still couldn't stop shaking. Even though that terrible man has left.
Just now, Shang Ren carried her and as soon as they entered the cave, he punched her on the head. In severe pain, Qiao Anran lost consciousness. But she didn't know that she woke up after just a few minutes of being unconscious. Being in pitch darkness, she was so frightened that she crawled out of the cave and took off the towel stuffed in her mouth. But it was pitch black all around and she had no idea which direction she was heading. When she heard some movement behind the rock wall, she walked over carefully.
The child had good eyesight and could tell that there was a woman by the pond, fighting with the younger bad guy. The scary old man fell under a tree, and a woman fell beside him, but both of their bodies were moving.
Because of the distance and the water flow, the child could not see Li Qingyao clearly in the water, and naturally did not see his sister hanging behind him.
She didn't dare to move, not even to breathe loudly.
She tried hard to keep her tearful eyes open, trying to find her sister. The 8-year-old girl already seemed to understand some things, and she was so afraid that her sister would be... or stabbed many times by them like her parents.
"Sister...Qiao Miaoran...where are you..." She moaned softly, standing helplessly in the dark corner of this fierce killing game.

The veins on Li Qingyao's forehead were bulging, and the five fingers that were grabbing the tree were broken into bones with pain and blood flowing out. But she gritted her teeth and refused to let go of Qiao Miaoran. Qiao Miaoran was also trying hard to climb up, but the water was flowing too fast and she had no foothold at all. She could only hang on by Li Qingyao's arm.
Li Qingyao knew that this couldn't go on. Her eyelashes were already wet from the water and were painful. She closed her eyes and opened them again, a surge of anger rising from her heart. She turned to Qiao Miaoran and yelled, "Hold on tight!"
She exerted force again, using all her strength, and let out a difficult roar, and began to pull Qiao Miaoran back little by little. There was a sharp pain in her shoulder and wrist joints, her face was buried in the water, and her muscles were trembling all over.
Qiao Miaoran felt her body finally moving forward. Looking at the determined figure of the woman in front of her, Qiao Miaoran burst into tears.
Just at this moment.
A strong hand descended from the sky and firmly grasped the arm that Li Qingyao was holding on to the tree. Before she could even react, she heard the man shouting, and her body flew into the air, out of the water, and the man's other hand quickly wrapped around her waist. Li Qingyao raised his head and saw Chen Pu's eyes, which were always firm and blazing. She was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes. He also looked at her, clasped his hands, and pressed her head against his chest.
And she didn't even see how he did it, because Qiao Miaoran, who had been held tightly by her, was also lifted out of the water by him at the same time and was now in his arms. Then he growled again, exerted force instantly, and spun rapidly in the air. He was already holding the two women, escaped from the rapids, and fell on the grass beside him.
Li Qingyao got up immediately. Chen Pu took a breath and just sat up when Li Qingyao threw himself into his arms. Chen Pu hugged her tightly. From the first second he saw her when he arrived at the waterfall, his mind went blank. Now he found his voice and asked, "Are you okay?"
Li Qingyao's left hand, with five bloody fingers, was placed behind his neck and he replied, "It's okay."
The two of them let go immediately.
Qiao Miaoran, who was behind them, also sat up, still in shock and with a dazed look on her face. But her clothes and pants had been stripped off by Luo Long long ago, leaving her almost naked. Now she had been soaking in the cold water for so long that she was shivering all over.
Chen Pu took a quick look and then looked away. He took off his coat and threw it to Li Qingyao: "Put it on her." His coat was still mostly dry.
Li Qingyao nodded.
She was soaked all over, and Chen Pu knew she must be very cold, but he couldn't take care of her.
Li Qingyao turned around and put his coat on Qiao Miaoran, saying concisely: "We are the police, your mother has been sent to the emergency department, now put on your clothes, hide in the corner and don't come out, go!"
She stood up and was about to follow Chen Pu, but Qiao Miaoran grabbed her hand and asked, "Where's my dad?"
Li Qingyao said: "I'm not sure, I only saw your mother, go hide quickly."
Qiao Miaoran stood up and stumbled into the woods.
While Li Qingyao was putting clothes on Qiao Miaoran, Chen Pu had already drawn his gun and ran towards Xie Xinrui and Luo Long who were fighting to the death.
"Police! Stop! Put your hands up! Or I'll shoot!" he yelled.
The two men had a tacit understanding at this moment. They paused at the same time, turned around and ran to the woods beside them. Chen Pu's eyes were filled with coldness, and he decisively raised his gun and fired.
"Bang." It hit Xie Xinrui right on the back. She paused and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Chen Pu did not slow down at all. Like a black whirlwind, he turned and ran towards Luo Long who was trying to escape, pointing his gun at him: "Stop! If you take another step, I will shoot!"
Luo Long was also shocked at this moment. The policeman shot so decisively and his shooting skills were extremely accurate. But he has already committed two major crimes, plus the old case of Li Jincheng and Liu Tingmei, if he is caught he will only die! He gritted his teeth and suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure appearing beside him. He almost laughed out loud - God won't let me die! His reaction was also extremely fast. He suddenly lowered his body, moved quickly over, grabbed the little man, held him in his arms, and turned towards Chen Pu.
Qiao Anran was already on the verge of collapse. She had just hidden for a while when she suddenly saw her sister Qiao Miaoran being rescued from the water. The child didn't want to think any more and ran out from behind the rock wall, wanting to go to her sister. As a result, it happened to fall into Luo Long's hands.
With the hostage in hand, Luo Long immediately used the child to cover the vital parts of his body, even hiding his head behind hers, and shouted with a grim smile: "Shoot..."
He didn't finish his words.
Because Chen Pu had already rushed in front of him.
When Luo Long turned around, he saw a figure as agile as a tiger rushing towards him. He had no time to react at all - because a moment ago, he clearly saw Chen Pu was still about ten meters away. But this policeman was so damn fast, so fast that it was completely beyond Luo Long's expectations.
Chen Pu was indeed concerned about the children and could not shoot. But at the moment when Luo Long hesitated, his fist, mixed with a thunderous force of wind, avoided the child's head and hit Luo Long's head hard.
How powerful was this blow? The beating made Luo Long, a tall and strong man, cry out in pain, let go of the child, and fell to the ground with a splitting headache and dizziness, unable to get up for a long time.
Chen Pu picked up the child and ran a few steps to the side before putting him down and saying, "Run, go to your sister!"
In the time it took Li Qingyao to turn around, Chen Pu had already resolved the battle. When she turned around, she saw that Xie Xinrui and Luo Long, who were fighting fiercely, both fell to the ground. Chen Pu ran to the side holding the child.
She was overjoyed and pulled out her gun, about to run over to meet Chen Pu, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a man silently raising his head from the ground in the darkness. He had a gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pointing at Chen Pu.
Chen Pu had just put the child down and turned his back to the man.
Li Qingyao suddenly opened her eyes wide, and a piercing chill rose from her heart. "Get down!" she shouted, raising her gun at the same time.
"Bang."
"Bang."
Two gunshots rang out at the same time.
Chen Pu's body shook and the bullet hit his right back. He turned around with difficulty, but found himself kneeling on the ground.
Li Qingyao's bullet hit the rocks by the water. Because at the moment she fired, a man rushed from behind, grabbed her legs, threw her to the ground, causing her shot to miss.
Li Qingyao looked at Chen Pu, who was breathing rapidly and unable to get up for a long time, with her eyes bloodshot. She turned around abruptly and pointed the gun at the person who knocked her down - Xiang Siling.
There was a circle of red and purple marks on Xiang Siling's neck. He lay on the ground and looked up at her, but there were tears of sorrow in his eyes: "Li Qingyao, let her take Luo Long away! Only Luo Long knows where your brother is! Let her kill him with her own hands, let her avenge your brother!"
Li Qingyao was shocked, but said, "Dream on! No one can leave today!"
At this moment, a silver light came from the air and slashed towards Li Qingyao's face.
Li Qingyao reacted very quickly and rolled on the ground to avoid the brutal attack. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Shang Ren who had been shot. Perhaps after catching his breath, he got up from the ground and looked for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
When his strike missed, Shangren dodged and hid behind a tree, sickle in hand, panting. Li Qingyao fired two shots in succession, both hitting the tree trunk.
Li Qingyao glanced in the direction of Shang Ren, then turned to look at Chen Pu. He gritted his teeth, decided not to fight anymore, and ran towards Chen Pu quickly with a gun in hand.
The only ones left by the woods were Shang Ren and Xiang Siling, who was lying not far from his feet.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Shangren suddenly raised his sickle and slashed at her. Xiang Siling was suffocating and on the verge of death. His head was still dizzy and his breathing was rapid. He dodged in a panic and stabbed Shang Ren in the thigh with his backhand. Shang Ren shouted angrily, and finally swung his sickle, hitting Xiang Siling's neck hard, causing blood to gushed out.
Now this woman was finally doomed, and Shang Ren showed a ferocious smile.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Siling smiled, her body softened, and she fell into his arms. Shang Ren wanted to stab her again, but he heard her say in a hoarse but gentle voice: "Dad, I am your daughter, Siling."
Shang Ren was stunned, looking at the dying young girl in his arms in disbelief. He seemed to understand something and stared at her without moving. At this moment, Xiang Siling raised his weak hand, grasped the extremely sharp blade of the dagger, and with his last bit of strength, he slashed his neck hard.
Shang Ren was still stunned. He raised one hand to cover his bleeding neck and held Xiang Siling with the other hand. The two of them slowly fell to the ground and died at the same time.
