Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Chapter 102

The oxygen in the air seemed to grow thinner and thinner. She ran while coughing, and the road ahead of her wavered before her eyes! She was afraid! Afraid that this mountain path was too long and rugged! Afraid of being caught by Sun Yulin again! Yet, what she feared most was the long-forgotten little demon inside her body that could strike her down anytime, robbing her of any chance to escape! And she distinctly heard the little demon’s approach...

However, heaven ultimately favored her. The road at the foot of the mountain wavered and shimmered like a jade belt in her blurred vision. She ran toward it with all her might in a frenzied escape.

The path down the mountain was treacherous, and she had chosen a secluded trail to avoid pursuit! She stumbled along as she ran whenever possible; when there was no path left, she simply rolled down! Thus, running and rolling, she finally set foot on level ground.

At that moment, she was coughing and gasping for air! It felt as if someone were tightly gripping her throat, pressing against her chest, making every breath of air excruciatingly difficult!

She knew she couldn’t go much farther...

But she had to keep running! Her vision had grown fuzzy! Her clothes clung to her, soaked with sweat, and as the mountain wind blew, she shivered with cold! Her legs felt as if they had been filled with lead, but no matter how heavy they were, she had to drag them forward, step by step, to escape! Even if it was only a crawl! She couldn’t fall back into those people’s hands...

But it was so terribly difficult! Every breath felt like her last! She clutched her chest as her consciousness began to grow faint...

It felt as though she was brought back to when she was very small, her mom stood on a stool, hanging herself with a rope...

She saw a chubby little hand, clutching a rainbow-colored Bangbangtang, and a tender child’s voice saying, "Grandma said, when you’re sad, your heart feels sour. A piece of candy can make it sweet again..."

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she vaguely heard the shrill honk of a car before everything went black...

Hospital.

Su Ronggui’s arm was bound in a cast, his face and neck were marked with multiple bloodstains, and with the nurse’s help, he donned protective gear and entered the intensive care unit.

On the bed in the ICU lay Tu Hengsha, supported by a respirator and still hooked up to tubes. Her already slight body looked even flatter, as if it had vanished entirely.

"She has a history of asthma; this time, it was triggered by an allergic reaction to the mine dust, and the situation was quite serious. She needs to be in the ICU..."

The doctor had told him that.

The doctor also asked him what he was to her and insisted he call in her family, but now, it was the second day of her stay in the ICU, and he still wasn’t sure if he should notify her mother.

Her face was marked by multiple scratches, as was her body, and her hands were practically roasted like pig trotters! Who knew what she had endured on the mountain!

He was already on his way back to the county when he received news about her and rushed to the location she had pointed out.

Upon arrival, he only saw a taxi parked by the roadside. The license plate matched the one she provided him. The car was empty.

He immediately reported it to the police, then himself drove the rented car to find her.

It was a T-junction. Though he hurried as fast as he could, several hours had passed since her last voice message. Where could she be at that time? Surely she wouldn’t have gone to Liuxia Village. At the entrance to another road, he found a few candies, the very same they had bought together at the supermarket. This direction led to the mines.

So he drove in that direction to pursue them.

From the junction to the mining area was indeed quite a distance, and along the way the mines stretched endlessly; he truly had no idea in which nook Sun Yulin might have hidden her.
