Chapter 892: Chapter 892: Who is Gu Zhilan 4

"It has nothing to do with you, it was my mistake to leave her alone in the hotel," He Teng didn’t blame Xing Ye, but he did blame himself!

The people sent to investigate the hotel quickly returned, saying, "We found something! Last night, a hotel staff saw a suspicious cleaner pushing a large garbage bin away from the back of the hotel. Initially, the staff thought the cleaner was just taking out the trash, but later found it strange that they were doing it late at night instead of waiting until daytime."

"Did you find out who that cleaner was?" the three of them asked in unison.

"We did, it’s Lan Song," said the man with a nod, "Lan Song impersonated a hotel cleaner, and the hotel also discovered that a spare room key was missing. It must have been stolen by Lan Song, who then took the opportunity at night to put sister-in-law in the bin and kidnap her."

"Is Lan Song still in S Province?" Lan Li was slightly shocked. Logically, Lan Song should have fled given the time he had; why would he still be in S Province?

"Damn it!" He Teng slammed his fist into the wall, his face full of anger and coldness, making him seem almost as ferocious as a rampaging lion.

If He Zhilan were to be hurt this time, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life!

It was clearly his issue, He Teng’s issue, yet He Zhilan was the one who got dragged into it! And he, as a soldier, as a husband, failed to protect her.

The winter mountains were like a piece of gossamer, shrouded in mist everywhere. Even though it was already noon, without the sunlight on this overcast day, the place still felt like early dawn, chilly and damp.

In an abandoned thatched hut in the mountains, the walls hung with straw raincoats and bamboo hats, it was clear that this place was once lived in by hunters long ago. However, after hunting was banned in the mountains, the hut was abandoned and used to accumulate useless things.

When He Zhilan woke up, this was the scene she was faced with. The hut, with no windows, was filled with the cold winter wind whistling through, while she was shivering in her thin nightgown, almost numb from the cold.

"Awake?"

The familiar voice immediately made He Zhilan tense up in shock. She turned her head and saw Lan Song, who had lost his usual demeanor and was now dressed in the hotel cleaner’s uniform. She recoiled in fear and only then realized her hands and feet were tightly bound with coarse hemp ropes.

"What are you going to do?" He Zhilan’s voice was a bit hoarse, from the cold and from fear, her body trembling slightly.

"Why so nervous? You’re my lifesaver, I won’t kill you," Lan Song glanced dismissively at He Zhilan on the ground, "I want to leave S Province, and I need your help to do that!"

"It’s been so many days, if you wanted to leave, you would have already left!" He Zhilan certainly didn’t believe Lan Song’s words, "Is it Gu En who had you kidnap me?"

Upon hearing the name Gu En, Lan Song, who had been calm, suddenly erupted in madness, "Don’t you dare mention that damn bitch’s name! If it wasn’t for being fooled by that bitch, I’d have been long gone! Do you think I’d be waiting for you to chase me everywhere? Do you think I’d be hiding here so pathetically?"

With that, Lan Song spat a big wad of saliva on the ground. The previous guise of a pampered young master instantly transformed into that of a thuggish rogue, "Gu En wants me to be the scapegoat, but she has to ask if I agree!"
