"So, the murder case that caused widespread panic in the city all those years ago was committed by your classmate!"
Gu Luotang was surprised when Wan Yunting told her about Guan Hongyu.
After all, a series of murder cases had caused the citizens of Hua Du City to live in fear. During that time, people dared not go out for late-night snacks, fearing they might encounter the perverse and brutal killer.
"He was brainwashed by a cult."
When it came to Guan Hongyu, Wan Yunting still felt a sense of regret.
"Were those the two people from just now?"
Gu Luotang turned her head, her eyes fixed on the man. From her angle, looking at Wan Yunting's left cheek, she found him very handsome.
"Yes."
Wan Yunting turned his head to nod at her, then raised an eyebrow and said, "But besides that, it seems they were also instructed to kill me!"
"Who?" Gu Luotang asked curiously again.
She suddenly realized that she knew very little about other aspects of his life.
"I can't be sure yet!"
Wan Yunting shook his head. He didn't know who had instructed the two members of the Tianyan Master Cult to kill him.
However, Wan Yunting's first suspects were Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang!
"Achoo..."
At this moment, in a private villa in the capital, Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang were sitting on a sofa in the living room, with several tall and hot beauties in their arms. Various expensive wines and entertainment items were placed on the coffee table.
Suddenly, Fang Tai sneezed, causing Chen Guangyang to laugh, "Hey, Old Fang, who's thinking about you?"
"Could it be that woman from the Li family?" Fang Tai asked with a tilt of his head.
"Haha..."
Chen Guangyang burst into laughter. "Miss Li? The way she looks, I don't know how you could even lay a hand on her."
"Heh heh."
Fang Tai smirked, casually playing with the beauties in his arms. "What do you know? Even if she's not good-looking, her figure is great."
"Haha, that's true. What kind of beauties haven't we seen?" Chen Guangyang was teasing the woman in his arms, a sly grin on his face.
Just then, the phone on the table rang. Fang Tai picked it up, his eyes widened. He immediately pushed away the woman in his arms, stood up, and answered the phone obediently, a servile smile on his face. "Young Master Qun, are you back?"
"Yes, come see me immediately!"
A calm, magnetic male voice came from the other end of the phone. Then the call ended.
"Let's go, Young Master Qun is back and wants to see us."
Fang Tai put down his phone, quickly grabbed his suit jacket. Chen Guangyang also pushed away the woman in his arms. They both stood up and followed Fang Tai out with their car keys. He then turned to the four women in the living room, "Don't leave, wait for us here."
"Yes, Young Master Fang, Young Master Chen, safe travels..."
The four hot beauties shouted in unison. Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang drove off in a sports car, heading directly for the inner ring road of the capital. "Old Fang, why is Young Master Qun back so suddenly?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Fang Tai glanced at him. "Young Master Qun's father is competing for the position of family head with his second uncle. Young Master Qun is returning at this time, naturally to help his father."
Chen Guangyang nodded and said with a smile, "I thought Young Master Qun was back for that Wan Yunting!"
"Pfft, he's just a little piece of trash, not worth Young Master Qun's return." Fang Tai waved his hand dismissively.
"That kid is currently going to Lingyun County to help with disaster relief. Why don't we find someone to get rid of him while we have the chance?" Chen Guangyang suggested.
"No."
Fang Tai's eyes widened slightly. "That kid is very good at fighting; ordinary people really can't deal with him. But he's not in Hua Du City now. I heard he has a girlfriend, right?"
"Yes, I think her name is Fang Yanxi, and she's a great beauty!" Chen Guangyang said lecherously.
Fang Tai then smiled sinisterly and nodded, "Perfect, let's go have some fun with his girlfriend!"
...
Meanwhile, Wan Yunting, trapped in the Ling Mountain cave, had no idea that Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang had set their sights on Fang Yanxi!
Looking at Gu Luotang, who had leaned on his shoulder and fallen into a deep sleep, Wan Yunting also turned off his flashlight, plunging them into pitch darkness. Gu Luotang's delicate body shivered. Sensing her fear, Wan Yunting reached out and put his arm around her left shoulder.
Gu Luotang's body stiffened. It seemed she wasn't completely asleep. After a moment of hesitation, Gu Luotang struggled internally. Finally, she summoned her courage and actively snuggled into his embrace...
Wan Yunting smiled, saying nothing. He tightened his grip around Gu Luotang's left shoulder, fearing she might catch a cold in the cold cave.
They slept like that, embracing each other against the rock wall...
Until seven o'clock in the morning.
By then, it had started to rain heavily. At the resettlement camp in Xinxiu Community.
"Director Li, how is Elder Jiang?"
Huang Jingshan and Wei Renxin, wearing raincoats, watched Li Chengbing emerge from a tent. He shook his head and sighed, "Elder Jiang caught a chill last night and has a slight fever. But I've given him medicine, and he should be fine."
Hearing about Jiang Yichun falling ill made everyone sigh with dejection and feel even more distressed, as Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang's fate was unknown.
But knowing that two rescuers had also died last night, Shen Yingrui and Ding Zipeng also believed that Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang had also perished.
"Elder Ding, who are you talking to?"
Li Chengbing saw Ding Huixiang on the phone. He turned and shushed him, forcing a smile. "Don't worry, Old Gu. Everyone is fine. If anything is needed, I'll let you know."
"Okay, that's all for now."
Gu Yuanbai, on the other end of the phone, finished speaking and hung up.
Li Chengbing immediately became nervous. "Elder Ding, you didn't tell Old Gu about Xiao Wan and Luotang, did you?"
"No." Ding Huixiang shook his head and sighed, "How would I dare?"
"It's good that you didn't say anything."
Li Chengbing breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Gu Luotang was Gu Yuanbai's granddaughter. If he found out about this, wouldn't he be even more heartbroken?
At that moment, two trucks carrying medical supplies arrived. The banners read "Lingnan Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine Donated Medical Supplies." Dai Qiuyue, wearing a raincoat, stepped out of the truck.
"Qiuyue, slow down..."
To her surprise, Jin Xiuwen, that young man, also got out with her.
It turned out that Gu Yuanbai had gathered two truckloads of supplies, and Dai Qiuyue had volunteered to deliver them. Upon hearing this, Jin Xiuwen also declared that he would donate supplies to the disaster area and followed Dai Qiuyue.
For some time now, Jin Xiuwen had been trying all sorts of methods to pursue Dai Qiuyue, but she remained indifferent. However, Jin Xiuwen seemed to be sincere this time.
Therefore, no matter how many times Dai Qiuyue rejected him, he relentlessly pursued her with an unwavering determination, resolving not to give up until he had won her over.
"Qiuyue, why did you come?"
Li Chengbing went out and saw that the people escorting the donated medical supplies were Dai Qiuyue. Shen Yingrui and the others also went to greet her.
"Director Li, Elder Ding..."
Dai Qiuyue greeted Li Chengbing and Ding Huixiang and said, "I wanted to help, so I came with the supply trucks."
"Okay, everyone, since the rain has stopped, let's quickly unload the supplies," Li Chengbing said to Huang Jingshan and the others.
Shen Yingrui and the others expressionlessly went to unload the goods...
"Where is Wan Yunting? Isn't he here?"
Suddenly, Jin Xiuwen stepped forward and asked.
Li Chengbing and Ding Huixiang were taken aback. Jin Xiuwen introduced himself with a smile, "Oh, I'm a friend of Wan Yunting. I came with Qiuyue to help with disaster relief. Where is he?"
Dai Qiuyue also looked at Li Chengbing and Ding Huixiang, but being perceptive, she noticed the unusual expressions of Ding Zipeng and the others. She asked, "Director Li, where is Doctor Wan?"
"Alas..."
Li Chengbing knew that the matter could no longer be kept secret, so he explained the earthquake last night and that Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang were trapped in the Ling Mountain cave with their lives in jeopardy.
"What? He's trapped in a cave?"
Jin Xiuwen exploded. His eyes widened in disbelief. "Didn't you contact him?"
"There's no signal in the cave, we can't reach him," Huang Jingshan said helplessly.
"Then go save him!"
Jin Xiuwen became completely anxious and shouted.
Wei Renxin and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
Upon hearing this, Dai Qiuyue also felt unwell. She hadn't expected to hear such terrible news upon her arrival.
"How could this happen..."
Thinking that Wan Yunting might be dead, Jin Xiuwen felt distressed and panicked, pacing back and forth.
Just then, Jin Xiuwen's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Fang Yanxi's call!
