Chapter 265: Chapter 168: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes_2

Tian Xin extended a finger and sent back a message: Humph! You old thing, you’ve made me angry, I won’t reply!

"Look, I’ve avenged you!" Tian Xin was overjoyed, "I was wondering why someone had time to take me shopping and for dinner today, turns out someone got the little one angry!"

Bei Ran, looking at the message Tian Xin had already sent, was flabbergasted, "He’s not actually old, he’s only thirty-four, in the prime of life..."

I wonder what Gu Qingchen’s reaction would be after seeing this?

Gu Qingchen looked at the message she had returned, calling him an old thing? Is he old?

Tonight I’ll show you if I’m old or not? Little thing, don’t beg for mercy! Tian Xin read the message that Gu Qingchen had replied.

Bei Ran hurriedly snatched the phone away: "You’re too much, actually reading it out loud..."

Tian Xin looked at the spicy hot pot and laughed: "It’s because the two of you use such fiery words..."

"It’s not like we asked you to look!" Bei Ran huffed, feeling like she was acting like a lovestruck little woman, constantly defending Gu Qingchen.

Tian Xin looked at her blushing face: "You kiddo, Bei Ran, you prioritize love over friendship. Are you going back tonight or not?"

"Not going back!" Bei Ran was serious.

She loves him, she likes him.

That doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a temper, so, she was really angry with the way he treated her in the morning.

She puffed up her cheeks in anger, then began to eat the spicy hot pot.

As Bei Ran and Tian Xin enjoyed their hot pot, they unexpectedly encountered someone they both didn’t want to see—Song Xuyao.

Song Xuyao walked up to them, and Tian Xin and Bei Ran exchanged glances, clearly loathing his arrival.

"Did not expect that my blind date today would be with you two?" Song Xuyao’s lips curled up in a grin as if watching a good show.

Tian Xin, with her sharp tongue, retorted: "Don’t flatter yourself. Ranran never stoops to blind dates, and I too only realized today that the blind date was with you. But let me tell you now, you’re out! I won’t be going on a blind date with you."

Song Xuyao simply smiled calmly, nodded, and then strode away.

Bei Ran put down her chopsticks, and Tian Xin continued eating: "Alright, don’t mind him! Let’s just enjoy our meal!"

"Actually, sweetheart, I’ve never figured out, who could have sabotaged those four men. But I think it’s unlikely that Chen Bing could have used Chloroform to knock out all four men at the same time..." Bei Ran expressed her doubts.

Tian Xin sighed: "I have zero interest in this matter..."

"I’m wondering, could it have been Song Xuyao?" Bei Ran boldly speculated, "Did he do this to frame Qingchen?"

"But he’s a policeman after all!" Tian Xin argued from an objective point of view, "Your assumption is somewhat subjective, right? If a policeman is this wicked, it’s truly terrifying."

Bei Ran nodded, "Yes! I might be subjective because Qingchen is the most important to me in my eyes."

At that moment, an old woman with a hunched back was mopping the floor, when she was quietly scolded by the lobby manager: "We have so many customers now, what are you sweeping?"

The old woman quickly left the restaurant with her mop.

The lobby manager hurriedly apologized to Tian Xin’s table: "Sorry, please enjoy your meal."

Tian Xin didn’t mind, she wasn’t one to nitpick over such things.

"After we finish eating, I’m going to see a movie, are you coming?" Tian Xin asked Bei Ran.

"I won’t!" Bei Ran decided to go back to her little house to sort out her thoughts properly, this case was too shocking.

So, after finishing their meal, Tian Xin and Bei Ran parted ways, Bei Ran prepared to go back to where she lived, and Tian Xin headed to the cinema.

Tian Xin was planning to watch a Hollywood blockbuster. Although she often went to movies alone, she never felt lonely.

She bought popcorn and soda, and just as she was about to enter the theater, suddenly a client called her on the phone.

She walked to a quiet place to patiently talk with the client on the phone. However, she was unaware that danger was creeping up on her.

The moment Tian Xin finished the call and was about to turn around, suddenly someone covered her mouth and nose with a towel. She didn’t even get the chance to call for help before she passed out.

At this moment, Tian Xin’s intuition was the same as the feeling when Chloroform was used to knock out the four men at Jiaoyang Club; she was afraid she would be skinned...

Bei Ran settled down in her own home, pouring herself a pot of tea. Since the kids were being cared for by Madame Wu at the lakeside villa, she felt quite at ease.

At the moment, the room was very quiet.

Smelling the aroma of tea on the coffee table, she closed her eyes, letting her thoughts drift freely like white clouds in the blue sky...

Before long, she received a text message. She thought it was from Gu Qingchen, but it turned out to be from Tian Xin.

Upon reading it, Bei Ran immediately went out the door.

When she arrived at the designated place in the suburbs, she saw a female body hanging from a tall tree, and the woman was naked...

Bei Ran didn’t see her face, but this scene of a person being skinned made her realize that this might be the next victim.

"Tian Xin..." Bei Ran started to call out, "Where are you..."

When she bravely walked in front of the woman, she saw the face and it was unexpectedly...

No——

Bei Ran screamed, wanting to go up and take her down, but she simply couldn’t reach!

In a rush, Bei Ran went to search her handbag, only to realize that she had forgotten her phone in her haste to leave; her phone was at home...

She wanted to ask someone for help, but in this desolate wilderness, there was not a single soul in sight!

Bei Ran knew that now she could only save Tian Xin by herself.

When she and Tian Xin were eating hotpot, she had pondered over this case, never expecting Tian Xin to become the next victim!

Bei Ran threw her handbag onto the ground and started climbing the tree; she had to save Tian Xin. She couldn’t let anything happen to Tian Xin...

Bei Ran had never been this scared before, the four men who had the accident last time were already dead.

This incident with Tian Xin made her understand that someone had set a trap.

Was it for her? Or was it to lure Gu Qingchen into the trap?

Regardless, Tian Xin was innocent.

Bei Ran climbed the tree, her hands throbbing with burning pain, but she couldn’t care less. She untied the rope knot on the tree and let Tian Xin down, but as soon as Tian Xin’s body hit the ground, it slid into a pit that had been camouflaged there.

Bei Ran jumped down from the tree, then grabbed one end of the rope knot and followed into the hole, plunging into darkness that blocked out all light, with a faint smell of mold in the air.

She followed the rope to Tian Xin’s body and used her fingertips to check her breath, finding it warm. Bei Ran breathed a sigh of relief!

Although both of them were now trapped in a dark hole, the fact that Tian Xin was still alive was a relief to Bei Ran.

However, she had to wait for Tian Xin to wake up so they could attempt to rescue themselves, or wait for others to come to their rescue.

When Tian Xin slowly woke up, she couldn’t see anything and didn’t know where she was. The boundless fear made her scream out loud.

"Xinxin..." Bei Ran reached out to soothe her, "I’m here, it’s alright, Xinxin, I won’t let anything happen to you..."
