Chapter 163 Don't Catch Me
The barrage of questions made Xu Qingchang lose his patience. His face flushed crimson, and he retorted almost in a roar, "Chang Jian, who do you think you are? You can't stop asking questions. How can I possibly know those inexplicable things? It's just a chain that the old man put on for fun. Don't bother me anymore!"
After saying that, he ignored the two of them and turned away angrily.
Looking at the other person's figure walking away, Chang Jian was about to follow him to continue asking questions, but was grabbed by the arm by Xiang Pengfei beside him.
"Why bother with such a jerk?"
Xiang Pengfei said this comfortingly, but his face was also full of confusion and anxiety - because their biggest problem at the moment was that they couldn't find the missing Qiao Jin!
They searched the entire house several times, even checking every hidden corner, but still didn't find even a single valuable clue.
Helplessly, Chang Jian frowned deeply. "Where on earth do you think these people are hiding? The villagers are so scared they're speechless. In that case, let's go find the village chief first."
After saying this, he looked at his good brother who also had a worried look on his face, and received an affirmative nod in response.
In another direction, Fu Yanlin was on his way to his destination.
From a distance, he saw a staggering woman stumbling towards him.
Her feet were bruised and she looked confused.
Fu Yanlin recognized the woman's identity at a glance.
She is the daughter-in-law of Old Man Li.
She usually looks weak, but now she looks even more miserable.
He frowned, with a hint of coldness on his face, and walked straight towards her.
But before Fu Yanlin could get close, the woman was so scared that her face turned pale when she saw him.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her whole body was tense like a bow with a full string. After screaming, she suddenly turned around and ran towards the river.
Her heart was pounding like a drum and she could hardly breathe from the fear.
Fu Yanlin saw that something was wrong at the first sight, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he immediately took big strides to chase after him.
He secretly wondered what had happened to make a woman so frightened.
The steps were getting faster and faster, and the body was almost flying.
The team members behind him were surprised to see their captain chasing a woman, but they didn't ask any questions. They just hurried to catch up and shouted, "Follow the captain!"
They exchanged puzzled glances, but still followed the captain firmly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
The woman kept muttering: "Don't catch me, don't catch me..."
Her voice was trembling and hoarse, and it sounded like a desperate plea.
She almost had a mental breakdown, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, leaving only despair.
When she saw the river in front of her, it was like she saw the last way to escape, and the only remaining glimmer of hope in her heart was instantly ignited.
She walked quickly into the river, not caring that the water had already covered her body and even soaked her clothes.
The river water was icy cold, but that didn't matter at the moment.
The only thought was to escape from that terrible shadow.
Seeing that the woman was about to be drowned in the river, Fu Yanlin was extremely anxious. He quickly took off his pager and other equipment and jumped into the river to save her without hesitation.
He had only one thought in his mind: he must not let anyone die here.
Huge waves splashed on the water surface, and his figure swam forward rapidly like a black lightning.
The woman turned around and looked at Fu Yanlin, her eyes full of despair and fear.
When she saw his serious expression, she was so scared that she almost fainted, and her legs kicked the water weakly.
The water seemed to be mocking her inability to resist, swallowing her up bit by bit.
Fu Yanlin swam quickly in the water. The woman obviously couldn't swim at all. After struggling desperately for a few times, she began to sink slowly.
She waved her hands around, trying to grab something for support, but there was nothing around.
However, Fu Yanlin would not let things end like this. He swam closer with all his might and grabbed the woman's wrist, which was so thin that only bones were left. The cold feeling made him frown.
Then he used all his strength to lift her up, trying to prevent her from sinking further into the abyss.
After rescuing the woman, he put one arm around her waist and used the other hand to paddle, swimming hard with her towards the shore.
Although he was exhausted and out of breath, he didn't dare to relax at all, because he knew that even a moment of negligence could lead to serious consequences.
After getting ashore, the woman closed her eyes, her whole body was wet, and she lay on the ground gasping for breath, like a deer escaping from a hunting rifle.
The team members gathered around, their eyes filled with surprise and concern. They looked at Fu Yanlin and asked in confusion, "Captain, what's going on with this woman?"
Fu Yanlin squinted his eyes, looked at the woman, and replied solemnly, "Find a way to wake her up quickly. I have something to ask her."
He knew that everything before him was unusual and he had to figure out the situation as soon as possible.
The team members did not dare to delay and immediately stepped forward to perform chest compressions according to the first aid procedures, hoping to help her regain consciousness.
Although his movements were professional, he could not conceal his inner nervousness and anxiety.
Fu Yanlin stood aside, looking up at the woman who was receiving treatment. At this moment, the anxious voices of Chang Jian and Xiang Pengfei suddenly came to his ears.
"Captain, captain!"
He looked at them coldly, and when he saw the obvious panic on Chang Jian's face, he felt even more uneasy.
"what happened?"
He asked calmly, trying his best to control his emotions and not lose control.
"Captain, my sister-in-law is missing!"
These words hit Fu Yanlin's heart like a bolt from the blue, causing his heart to tighten suddenly. His originally resolute expression suddenly became very ugly.
"what?"
"We searched the village for a long time but couldn't find any trace of my sister-in-law. Finally, we found Xu Qingchang in an old house. We thought he was very suspicious, but no matter how we asked, he said he had never seen my sister-in-law."
Old house!
Fu Yanlin's heart tightened. Liu Shang remembered that the place mentioned by Chang Jian and Xiang Pengfei was exactly Old Man Li's home.
Why was that woman so scared when she saw him?
There must be something hidden here.
Fu Yanlin asked sharply, "Where is the old man in that house?"
When Chang Jian heard this, he immediately felt a chill and knew that something was wrong.
He spoke slowly and in a low voice, "Xu Qingchang said the old man ran away."
"Catch that old man back, he must know where Qiao Jin is!"
Fu Yanlin's words were full of unquestionable determination.
After hearing the order, Chang Jian and Xiang Pengfei immediately turned around and ran, as if the wind behind them was urging them to die.
Soon, the team members revived the unconscious woman. She began to cough continuously and slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw Fu Yanlin standing in front of her, the woman turned pale with fear again, and kept muttering, "Don't catch me, don't catch me..."
