Ch 179: Too Late

Behind the forest was a deep ravine, and Qin Yun threw Ji Luosha’s body into it.

When he returned to the forest, he found Dr. Wang lying on the ground, his body black and stiff, with saliva still on his lips, no breathing, dead as could be.

Qin Yun glanced twice and found many black poisonous snake bite marks on his hands, feet, and neck.

Obviously, this fellow was bitten to death by Ji Luosha’s swarm of Black Spear Vipers.

In order to kill Ji Luosha with one blow, Qin Yun used eight tenths of his True Qi. The Black Spear Viper swarm sensed the True Qi as if encountering a natural enemy and fled in panic at that moment.

Dr. Wang lay on the ground, blocking their escape route, and was naturally bitten into a sieve.

Qin Yun threw Dr. Wang’s body into the ravine.

Just now he was still considering how to deal with this fellow. Now it’s good; this hypocritical and vicious fellow has been bitten to death by the Black Spear Vipers, solving his problem.

Qin Yun disposed of the bodies of Ji Luosha and Dr. Wang as quickly as possible, and then hurried towards the county town.

Su Lina’s cousin and cousin-in-law had already led people to make trouble at the Baihua Grand Hotel. Ye Xiong and his underlings couldn’t hold out much longer; he had to hurry over.

In order to reach the highway behind the mountain as quickly as possible and catch the minibus to the county town, Qin Yun directly used his True Qi, his figure as agile and swift as a gibbon, rushing down the mountain.

As for meeting up with Ouyang Qian, he could only give it up.

“After solving the trouble at the Baihua Grand Hotel, I’ll find a chance to explain the situation to Chief Ouyang!”

Qin Yun muttered to himself, his figure quickly disappearing into the forest.

……

Forty-odd minutes later.

Near the forest where Qin Yun had killed Ji Luosha, a clear, pleasant woman’s voice suddenly rang out.

This woman’s voice was deliberately kept low and carried a strong sense of hesitation.

“Captain Hao, Ji Luosha is in the forest ahead, with nearly a hundred Black Spear Vipers around her. Most importantly, Qin Yun is still in her hands. We must be careful and ensure Qin Yun’s safety.”

“Don’t worry, you’ve reminded me several times along the way; how could I forget?

Based on the intelligence you provided, I’ve ordered people to surround this forest and formulated three rescue plans to do our best to rescue Qin Yun safely.”

Answering Ouyang Qian was a man who also lowered his voice, his tone firm and with a hint of authority.

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen figures emerged from the shrubbery.

Leading the way were three beautiful women and a burly, authoritative middle-aged man in uniform.

The three beautiful women were Ouyang Qian, Guo Xiaoyan, and Zhou Haixia.

The burly middle-aged man in uniform was no outsider; he was Captain Hao of the county town police station.

Following the four were more than a dozen police officers carrying weapons.

Everyone was on high alert, moving lightly towards the forest ahead.

Captain Hao had just finished answering when Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia, who were beside him, immediately said:

“Captain Hao, don’t think we’re being nagging. If it weren’t for Qin Yun sacrificing himself to allow the three of us to escape, we would have been killed by Ji Luosha long ago.”

“He not only sacrificed himself to let us escape first but also used a folk remedy to cure the deadly poison in our bodies. He is our savior. No matter what, we must rescue him safely from Ji Luosha’s hands.”

Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia spoke in low voices, their faces filled with gratitude.

Along the way, not only Ouyang Qian but also the two of them had said similar things to Captain Hao many times.

Captain Hao was very shocked.

He knew Qin Yun had some martial arts skills and was quick-witted, but he found it hard to believe that this young man from the rural village could persuade the insidious and vicious Ji Luosha to let Ouyang Qian and the other two go.

But he also knew that Ouyang Qian and the other two would never lie to him.

“What method did Qin Yun use to persuade Ji Luosha to release them? Also, where did he get the folk remedy that could actually cure the Black Spear Viper poison in Ouyang Qian and the others’ bodies?”

Captain Hao murmured in surprise in his heart.

Although he had made sufficient preparations, his expression was still very serious.

Rescuing Qin Yun safely from Ji Luosha’s hands was not an easy task, even with sufficient preparation.

Moreover, the Female Demon’s strength had increased significantly; even Ouyang Qian couldn’t defeat her, making the rescue even more difficult.

“No matter how difficult it is, I must do everything possible to rescue Qin Yun!”

After making this decision silently, Captain Hao did not delay. He first nodded to Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia, signaling them to rest assured, then gently waved his hand to his subordinates behind him, signaling them to prepare for action.

At his signal, all the police officers swiftly loaded their pistols and quickened their pace, according to the pre-arranged plan, surrounding the forest ahead.

Captain Hao also held his pistol with both hands and walked at the forefront with Ouyang Qian, crouching slightly and moving forward.

Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia followed closely behind the two.

The remaining police officers followed at the end, encircling the forest ahead in a fan shape.

Everyone was vigilant and serious, especially Captain Hao and Ouyang Qian in the front. In addition to vigilance and seriousness, they also carried a strong sense of worry.

Qin Yun had been in Ji Luosha’s hands for more than forty minutes; was he still alive?

Five minutes later, the encircling team swiftly rushed into the place where Qin Yun and Ji Luosha were.

“Huh? No one’s here?”

Seeing the empty woodland, Ouyang Qian immediately became anxious.

Captain Hao, Guo Xiaoyan, and Zhou Haixia also frowned.

“Where did the Female Demon take Qin Yun? Could it be that she…” Zhou Haixia frowned and said nervously.

“Don’t talk nonsense; we can’t make random guesses before we find evidence.” Guo Xiaoyan interrupted immediately.

However, her tone was clearly lacking in confidence.

Because they all knew that Ji Luosha was a Female Demon who killed without blinking. Once in her hands, there was almost no chance of survival.

“With Qin Yun’s cleverness, he would never die so easily at the hands of the Female Demon. He must have been taken to another place by the Female Demon; let’s search around.” Ouyang Qian followed.

After speaking anxiously, she looked at Captain Hao.

Captain Hao nodded in agreement, but his brows remained furrowed.

Because he also knew Ji Luosha’s vicious style of acting. Qin Yun had been in her hands for nearly an hour; the possibility of survival was very small.

“Listen everyone, three people form a small group and search this forest carefully. Report to me immediately if you find any clues.” Captain Hao knew the chances of Qin Yun’s survival were extremely slim, but he still issued the search order without hesitation.

His idea was the same as Ouyang Qian’s; they would not give up until they found strong evidence.

As soon as the order was given, a police officer on the left side hurried forward.

“Captain, we found a torn cloth strip in the front left.”

“Torn cloth strip?” Captain Hao’s expression tightened, and he quickly took it.

He recognized at a glance that it was a torn strip from an old undershirt.

The color and material of this cloth strip were exactly the same as the old undershirt Qin Yun had worn before.

Captain Hao’s heart sank.

When he discovered that the cloth strip was also stained with a large amount of fresh blood, his face became even more unsightly.

“This… isn’t this the cloth from the undershirt Qin Yun was wearing?”

“Yes, it’s the old undershirt he was wearing.”

Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia also recognized it, and the two exclaimed with grim faces.

With Ouyang Qian’s sharp observation skills, she had naturally recognized it as well.

She bit her red lips, and her eyes quickly turned red.

Qin Yun’s undershirt was even torn and stained with a lot of blood, which was enough to show that his condition was very bad.

The police officer who found the cloth strip continued to report:

“There’s a lot of blood at the place where the cloth strip was found. A large area of the shrubbery and small trees nearby are also collapsed. Judging from the traces at the scene, someone must have been severely beaten there not long ago.”

Severely beaten?

Almost everyone present concluded that the person who had been beaten was Qin Yun.

“Damn Female Demon, how vicious!” Ouyang Qian clenched her fist, gritting her teeth.

She hurried towards the forest on the left.

Captain Hao, Guo Xiaoyan, Zhou Haixia, and the others also rushed over with grim faces.

After more than ten minutes, everyone stood there with grim faces.

Through careful examination, they concluded that Qin Yun had been brutally tortured here by Ji Luosha and finally thrown into the ravine behind the forest by the Female Demon.

“Qianqian, we’re too late. Qin Yun is… dead!”

“That murderous Female Demon, we will definitely not let her go!”

Looking at Ouyang Qian, whose face was pale and filled with sadness and pain, Guo Xiaoyan and Zhou Haixia said in a low voice.
