Song Ge dared to stare defiantly into the eyes of the wolf pack, but the other girls were completely terrified. After standing there stunned for about a minute or two, soft sobs suddenly came from the crowd.
"I'd rather go back to the basement. I don't want to die." One girl couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears with a wail.
Once the first girl broke down, the others also started crying out of fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"If you don't want to die, shut up." Song Ge didn't have the energy to look at them. She just lowered her voice and snapped, "When I count one, two, three, we'll run to the right together. Got it?"
While staring at the wolves just now, she noticed a small path on their right. If they could outrun the wolves on that path, they might still have a glimmer of hope.
Song Ge was usually very easy - going, so when she snapped at them like this, the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to sob anymore and nodded unconsciously.
Song Ge gave them a satisfied look and threatened, "Run as fast as you can. If anyone runs too slowly, they'll surely become the wolves' food."
After saying that, she didn't give the girls any more time to think. She raised her voice and shouted, "Three... two... one, run!"
The group took off running. No one dared to slow down because there was a wolf pack chasing after them. In front of the wolves, running even a little slower could cost them their lives.
Seeing them run, the wolves chased after them closely.
Song Ge led the way at the front. Every step was extremely difficult, but she didn't dare to slack off for a moment.
To shake off the wolves, Song Ge deliberately turned left and right on the small path. Before long, they managed to leave the wolves more than ten meters behind.
"Look, there's a cave over there. Let's go into the cave first." Song Ge suddenly saw a faint cave entrance on a slope in the distance. She pointed at it and said.
The girls were already exhausted from running. When they saw the cave, they didn't think about anything else and rushed inside.
Seeing that they had all gone in, Song Ge also hurried in.
"Don't say a word or make any noise. The wolves must still be around. If we provoke them, we'll have no chance of survival." Song Ge tried to calm her pounding heart and whispered.
Everyone in the cave held their breath and nodded vigorously.
Although they had taken shelter in the cave, Song Ge still looked worried.
She remembered from a book that many of these caves were dens of wild animals. So, to avoid territorial disputes, the wolves might not rush in rashly.
However, she wasn't sure if there were any carnivorous animals in the cave. If there were other fierce beasts like the wolves inside, they would truly be doomed.
Song Ge looked calm on the surface, but her heart was in her throat. Her ears were also pricked up.
"They must be on this mountain. Search carefully. We must catch them." The driver stared at the shadowy trees with a gloomy face.
He never expected that Song Ge would dare to lead the girls to escape. It seemed that the decision not to keep her was indeed correct. After finding them this time, he must get rid of Song Ge as soon as possible.
The bodyguards were a bit scared, but when they heard the driver's words, they didn't dare to disobey Xu Yan's order. They could only brace themselves and search.
"Wolf! There's a wolf!" One of the bodyguards at the front suddenly jumped up and ran back at full speed. "Run!"
"Where are the wolves? Don't retreat. I'll tell the boss if you're not doing your job properly." The driver's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this. He snapped coldly.
But the bodyguards had seen the wolves with their own eyes. They didn't listen to him at all and rushed down the mountain in a hurry.
The driver was about to say something when he suddenly saw a wolf pouncing towards him out of the corner of his eye. He turned as pale as a sheet and ran down the mountain as fast as he could.
Their speed of escape was astonishing.
Song Ge and the girls were hiding in the cave in fear. They originally thought they could only wait for someone to rescue them, but suddenly they heard the driver's voice.
"It seems that Xu Yan's people have attracted the wolves away. This is our chance to escape." Song Ge seemed to see a glimmer of hope. She nodded at the girls and then ran out of the cave quickly.
The girls followed her and ran down the mountain together.
They didn't have much time. They had to get down the mountain before the wolves came back.
To stay alive, they had to be careful to avoid the wolves on one hand and evade the people sent by Xu Yan on the other. Everyone's nerves were on edge.
"Look, there are people up ahead." A girl saw some faint figures in the distance and was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
Song Ge and the others followed her gaze and saw that there were indeed several people searching for something at the edge of the forest not far away.
"Help!" Song Ge ran towards them at full speed and almost collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
The policemen rushed over when they saw this and surrounded the girls tightly. "Is there a girl named Song Ge among you?"
Song Ge suddenly felt a sense of relief after surviving a disaster. She nodded vigorously and said, "I'm Song Ge."
"Song Ge." A trembling voice came from afar.
At the moment she heard the voice, Song Ge's nose twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes.
It turned out that all these people were found by Zhai Cheng to search for Song Ge. To ensure that she could be found as soon as possible, Zhai Cheng even spent a large amount of money to call in the police and some underworld figures.
It wasn't practical for so many people to stay in the wilderness. The police didn't give them time to talk. They suggested going back to the police station to file a report first and then deal with other matters.
After Song Ge and the girls gave their statements at the police station and the case was officially filed, and finally they were properly arranged, Song Ge finally felt completely at ease.
In the police station yard, only Song Ge and Zhai Cheng were left.
Recalling the experiences of these days, Song Ge still felt scared. Now that the danger was over, her body trembled non - stop, and her face was terribly pale.
Zhai Cheng walked a few steps in silence in front, and Song Ge silently followed behind.
After walking a few steps, Zhai Cheng suddenly turned around and pulled Song Ge into his arms, hugging her tightly.
Song Ge was stunned for a moment but didn't push him away. She just let him hold her.
Song Ge clearly felt that Zhai Cheng was also trembling slightly, as if he was very afraid of something.
The heart that had been in her throat finally settled at this moment. Song Ge quietly let Zhai Cheng hold her, and she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
"You're finally back." After a long time, Zhai Cheng said hoarsely, word by word, "It feels so good."
These days without Song Ge by his side had been really terrible. The feeling of holding her in his arms again today was really wonderful.
