More and more dirt piled up, covering half of her body.
Before she could be completely buried, the sounds of lights and footsteps suddenly came from below the mountain forest. Judging from the sounds, there seemed to be quite a number of people approaching.
The few men exchanged glances. They never expected that someone would come to rescue her so soon.
The lookout man shouted, "Boss, if we don't leave now, it'll be too late. We've tried to kill her. If we get caught, we're done for."
The boss took a look at the person in the pit who had already stopped breathing. Making a decision, he simply said, "Retreat."
So the three of them threw away the things in their hands and didn't even dare to turn on their flashlights. They ran along the small path under the dim moonlight, escaping from the other side of the hillside and quickly disappearing into the mountain forest.
The police officers arrived here one step ahead of Lu Qianzhou. First, they found the shoe that Yan Xia had kicked off at the foot of the mountain. Then they traced the signs all the way here. It was not easy to analyze the direction based on the traces in the dim light of the night.
But fortunately, they still managed to track it down here. Seeing the chaotic scene, the fruit knife and rope on the ground became the tools of the crime. They immediately protected the tools and the scene, set up a cordon, and dug Yan Xia out of the pit.
She seemed to have stopped breathing, but her body was still warm.
Several medical staff who came closely behind laid Yan Xia flat and seized every moment to perform CPR on her.
Lu Qianzhou and Wen Liang finally arrived. He had rushed all the way here, and his face looked awful.
From afar, he saw the police officers making records at the scene and the medical staff gathered around, desperately trying to save her life.
Lu Qianzhou stopped in his tracks. Suddenly, he felt a throbbing pain in his temples, and his breathing became inexplicably difficult.
Wen Liang hesitated to speak, "Boss, Miss Lu... "
With so many medical staff gathered around performing emergency measures on her and no sound at all, it meant the situation was not good. They had to prepare for the worst.
Lu Qianzhou didn't respond. After calming his emotions, he stepped forward again. Looking at the situation at the scene, he lifted the cordon and walked in. His eyes fell on the fresh dirt and the pit at the scene.
The medical staff still didn't give up. Yan Xia's face was as pale as paper. There was a terrifying mark on her neck, and her face and body were covered in dirt.
"Cheng Yanxia..."
This scene seemed familiar, just like the pale face he had seen in his childhood, a deep shadow.
That person called him, "Qianzhou, Qianzhou..."
But he couldn't do anything. He could only watch helplessly. That feeling of anxiety, fear, and uneasiness rushed towards him like a tsunami. He was like a dying fish, humbly praying, but it was all in vain.
Lu Qianzhou suddenly felt suffocated. He gasped like he was having a stress reaction and averted his gaze.
A police officer who had finished investigating the scene stepped forward and said to him, "Mr. Lu, the murderer wasn't caught. Miss Lu's condition seems very bad. She has already lost her heartbeat. It's very likely that..."
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Lu Qianzhou's face as he tried to hold back his emotions. "Save her. No matter what, she can't die."
She was the pawn he had spent so much effort and cost to cultivate. She hadn't even played her real role yet. Who allowed this pawn to leave on her own and deviate from her post?
No way. He absolutely didn't allow it.
Wen Liang was still worried. "Boss, you're not in a good state. Leave here first. I'll watch over Miss Lu."
Lu Qianzhou impatiently walked up to the medical staff, squatted down, and asked, "Is she dead?"
One of the medical staff said, "We've taken turns performing CPR several times, but there's still no sign of life. The situation is not very optimistic."
The location they were at was not ideal. If they were to go down the mountain, it would take at least ten minutes. The staff didn't dare to waste this time taking Yan Xia down the mountain. After such a long period of suffocation, if they missed the best time, they really wouldn't be able to save her.
The corners of Lu Qianzhou's mouth sank. Suddenly, he reached out and touched Yan Xia's hand that was hanging on the ground. It was ice - cold, extremely pale, and terrifyingly white, like the color of a corpse.
Suddenly, he was pushed aside by the medical staff. One of them shouted loudly, "There's a heartbeat. Don't give up. Keep performing CPR."
After several rounds of alternation like this, Yan Xia finally regained a weak breath. But her condition was still not good. Her breathing was weak, and she showed no reaction at all.
So the medical staff moved her onto a stretcher and took her down the mountain as quickly as possible. Then they put her in an ambulance and rushed her to the hospital.
Lu Qianzhou and Wen Liang took the same car and followed them to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, Lu Qianzhou remained silent all the time. His mind was filled with the scenes just now and the content of the phone call he had received.
He heard her calm voice, "How much did your sponsor pay you? I'll pay ten times as much!"
Then came Li Hong's voice, "Miss Lu, be careful!"
Immediately after that, there was a chaotic sound of fighting. When he heard the first sentence, he had already anticipated that something bad was going to happen.
Actually, he could have completely controlled everything behind the scenes without having to show up in person. But when he heard the news, he reacted on his own. He attributed all this to the fact that this pawn was too precious, so he had to personally confirm the safety of this pawn to feel at ease.
After all, there was Fang Jiangyi, her nominal boyfriend, in the background. Although it was reasonable for Lu Qianzhou to come and see Lu Sheng, he shouldn't have been so eager.
The hospital used all the emergency measures.
Lu Qianzhou waited outside the operating room. He rarely got angry today, even though he knew that he shouldn't get angry easily in his current state. Wen Liang knew his situation well and brought him the medicine he always carried with him and a cup of warm water.
Lu Qianzhou put the medicine in his mouth. He was about to drink the water to swallow it when he suddenly heard Wen Liang say.
"Boss, Fang Jiangyi got the news and is coming soon."
So the cup of water stopped at his lips. He raised his eyes and gave Wen Liang a sharp look. Then he impatiently tugged at his collar. The next second, he threw the water cup in his hand straight out.
The water splashed on the wall, and the floor was covered with water. The paper cup fell to the ground.
He seemed not to want to meet Fang Jiangyi, so he got up and was about to leave. But the two still met in the corridor.
Fang Jiangyi rushed here in a hurry. Lu Qianzhou, however, was already very calm. He looked at Fang Jiangyi with a non -chalant look.
Fang Jiangyi took the initiative to ask, "How's Lu Sheng?"
Lu Qianzhou didn't even look back. "She won't die."
After leaving the hospital and getting in the car, Wen Liang received a call from the police, who explained some situations to him. Wen Liang relayed the situation to Lu Qianzhou.
"The police said that according to the confessions of the few people who were stunned by the electric shock at the foot of the mountain, there were two groups of people who wanted to attack Miss Lu this time. But during the process of them kidnapping Miss Lu, they were intercepted by another group. But they have tight lips and don't admit that they were instructed by someone. However, the police have already obtained their mobile phone contact lists and will conduct a one - by - one investigation of their recent contacts."
Lu Qianzhou rubbed his temples. "Check out the background of the second group of people."
