The first photo shows Mu Xiaoting in a coma, lying sideways on a black cloth. The photo is taken from above.
In the second photo, Mu Xiaoting is already awake, her eyes full of fear. There is also a dagger in the photo, the tip less than half a centiter away from her face, taken at a horizontal angle.
The last photo captures the mont before Mu Xiaoting is hooded; the photo is a bit blurred. Her mouth is stuffed with a black towel as she desperately shakes her head.
After looking through these three photos, Chu Ge clenched his fists, his gaze turning icy cold.
The opponent's thods are evidently very experienced; they probably aren't doing this for the first ti. They even used black cloth as the background for the photos, so even Chu Ge couldn't see any clues.
Because of Mu Xiaoting making things difficult for Ye Li, Chu Ge indeed had issues with her, but in any case, she shouldn't suffer such undeserved disaster because of him!
Chu Ge took a deep breath, released his clenched fists, just as he said to Mu Lingshan before, no matter what happens, panicking doesn't help. Instead of being frantic like an ant on a hot pan, it's better to calmly think about how to solve the problem; emotions like anger and hatred are no exception.
Since the opponent delivered the photos right to him, Chu Ge believes it won't be long before they contact him. He doesn't think their intention is rely to make him anxious.
Taking out a pack of cigarettes from his handbag, Chu Ge took one and put it in his mouth, sitting on the sofa. He picked up his phone, thought for a mont, then put it aside.
This matter concerns Mu Xiaoting's safety, and the fewer people know about it, the better, especially Mu Lingshan must not find out.
After all, Mu Lingshan is already under a lot of psychological pressure; if she knew, wouldn't she be worried sick?
Moreover, if the police got involved, it would not only cause a lot of trouble for Mu Lingshan, but Mu Xiaoting's situation could also beco even more dangerous.
The opponent could even harm an innocent little girl without hesitation, evidently not valuing human life. If it ca to a desperate situation, they would have no qualms about killing Mu Xiaoting.
All afternoon, Chu Ge didn't go anywhere, just stayed at the Yipin Spring City house, waiting much more patiently than the day before. Until six o'clock in the evening, he finally went downstairs to a nearby small restaurant, seemingly nonchalantly eating sothing.
Even if the opponent might contact him at any ti, and even if danger could arise at any mont, he still needed to eat. He must ensure he's in good condition to handle any unexpected situations.
After dinner, Chu Ge went back upstairs and made a call to Qin Ruojing, found an excuse to tell her he wasn't sure what ti he'd be ho. Qin Ruojing didn't say much, just reminded him of a few things.
In those first few days of marriage, Chu Ge might have thought Qin Ruojing was indifferent to him, but now he knows very well that this is Qin Ruojing's trust, understanding, and respect for him. This love is full of tolerance, warmth, and depth.
After ending the call with Qin Ruojing, the phone remained silent, the screen never lit up again, nor did it make any sound. Chu Ge remained quietly with his eyes closed, resting his energy.
Isn't it just a matter of patience? No problem.
In worse environnts, Chu Ge had patiently laid low. Compared to being surrounded by corpses full of maggots and minced at, scorching hot deserts by day, freezing cold at night, and icy snowfields in the dead of winter, the conditions he was in now were exceptionally good.
Another hour passed, then another two hours, then three hours...
Finally, Chu Ge's phone rang. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm as water, but with a glint of restrained sharpness.
A strange number was displayed on the phone screen. Chu Ge answered the call, and a raspy, peculiar cackle ca through.
"Hey... hehehe, Chu Ge, guess who I am?"
The voice was unpleasant, shrill, and piercing, obviously altered with a voice-changing software. What hadn't changed was the sinister tone.
"Hehe, is it Gou Lanzi?" Chu Ge also laughed, deliberately pretending to guess, uttering a homophonic word commonly used by Hua Country people to insult soone.
"Gou Lanzi?" The other party was taken aback, repeating the three words.
Chu Ge continued to laugh, "Co on, with your sorry look, even if you're skinned and dismbered, your at chopped and fed to dogs, turning into a pile of ****, your bones crushed and burned to ashes, I'd never forget you. Gou Lanzi, if you have sothing to say, say it, don't kid around with , I'm still waiting for soone else's call."
The other party was evidently stunned again. After two or three seconds, the sharp, bizarre voice ca over again, "Who are you waiting for a call from?"
"Oh, I'm waiting for a call from Da Shabi, you might not know him."
"Da Shabi? Hmm? Is there anyone with the surna Da?"
"I told you you wouldn't know, so why ask? By the way, Gou Lanzi, why are you so happy today? Rembering to call your buddy Chu? Did your genital warts cure? You can go happily looking for your Blosom girl and her dog for a ménage à trois?"
As Chu Ge spoke, his hands weren't idle either, trying not to let his fingers make any sound as he quickly typed a ssage on another phone, sending it to Lin Gaoze. The ssage only contained the number he had scanned and morized at a glance, along with a few words.
"Monitor and locate this number, imdiately! Keep it confidential! No calls!"
The reason Chu Ge was engaging in evasive conversation with the person on the other end was purely to buy ti, hoping that Lin Gaoze could successfully pinpoint the location during this critical mont.
If Lin Gaoze could achieve this, Chu Ge hoped to handle the subsequent matters himself as much as possible.
After all, since the origin of the problem was with him, he had to take responsibility for Mu Xiaoting's safety.
Simultaneously, he knew the complexity of the issue. If Lin Gaoze and Mu Lingshan got involved, and if Mu Xiaoting ended up being killed, the two of them would undoubtedly be significantly implicated. Whether they could continue wearing their police uniforms in the future would be questionable.
Through the incidents he had gone through with Lin Gaoze, Chu Ge could tell that Lin Gaoze was generally an idealistic, righteous, capable, and intelligent person. Lin Gaoze always respected him, and Chu Ge didn't want to ruin Lin Gaoze's future or make him bear the severe consequences of this matter that Chu Ge had initiated.
As for Mu Lingshan, it goes without saying—she was his woman, and it's only natural for a man to shield his woman from the storm!
"Genital warts? What are genital warts?"
After Chu Ge sent this ssage, the voice on the other end finally returned, seemingly asking soone nearby.
Chu Ge smirked inwardly. This mysterious jerk hadn't even completely caught on, proving how foolish he was.
Moreover, Chu Ge was almost certain that the person on the phone with him was ninety-nine percent not a legitimate Hua Country native and wasn't very familiar with certain cultural aspects of Hua Country. Otherwise, they would have understood his sarcastic remarks and flown into a rage.
As for the identity of the person, it was becoming increasingly clear.
"What? Do you have another disease? Gou Lanzi, you absolutely shouldn't give up on treatnt. Worst case, cut it off and go to Thailand for surgery. People there probably won't discriminate against you as much."
"Screw you!"
This ti, as soon as Chu Ge's words landed, a curse burst through the receiver, indicating that the person finally realized they'd been led by the nose by Chu Ge, who was continuously insulting them.
"Hey? Gou Lanzi, why are you cursing? I've been waiting for the Dashabi call and made ti to talk to you for your own good, yet you curse —what's that about?"
"You... damn... you dare..." Clearly, Chu Ge's nasty remarks infuriated the person, their harsh voice filled with resentnt and sowhat incoherent.
Before the person could finish, Chu Ge interrupted cheerfully and continued speaking.
"Gou Lanzi, am I not right? You're biting the hand that feeds you. Your actions truly suit your na, Gou Lanzi. Alright, I won't waste ti with you; I still have to wait for Dashabi's call. Goodbye."
"Wait!"
Chu Ge's lips curled slightly, "Hmm? Anything else?"
"Chu Ge, stop pretending. You know the one you're waiting for is !"
Chu Ge paused for a few seconds with a deliberately astonished tone, "What? That's not right. Did I hear incorrectly? You're not Gou Lanzi, you're Dashabi?"
"That's right! I'm Dashabi!"
The person shouted angrily, and Chu Ge even heard the grinding of teeth, indicating the person was nearly driven mad with anger.
Chu Ge waited deliberately for a few more seconds and then said with a smile, "Impossible, impossible. You're Gou Lanzi, not Dashabi. Your act was pretty close—almost fooled ."
"I am Dashabi! I'm the Dashabi you're waiting for!"
Chu Ge said sothing nonsensical, then pulled the phone away from his ear. As expected, the guy finally caught on.
Sure enough, just one second after Chu Ge moved the phone away, a more furious roar suddenly ca through the receiver.
"Screw you! You're the Dashabi! I'm..."
At this point, the voice abruptly stopped, evidently realizing they nearly let sothing slip, so they forcibly stopped, gritting their teeth.
However, this didn't matter to Chu Ge. What mattered was that he probably couldn't stall any longer.
