Fu Sui'er's eyes were filled with tears. She tried to kick her legs but found that she still had no strength. She was stunned for a moment and looked down at the water.

A hint of scarlet suddenly appeared on the water surface, which looked like it was dyed yellow by paint, but was quickly washed away.

Fu Suer was a little uneasy.

"It's okay, just a scratch." Jiang Huashan lifted her hand and placed it on his neck. "Hurry, let's get out of here first."

Fu Sui'er had a complicated expression on his face. He stared at Jiang Huashan blankly, wanting to cry but holding it back.

Jiang Huashan understood something instantly and raised an eyebrow, "I'm sorry, it's your leg that was scratched, not mine."

"Pfft!" Fu Sui'er burst into laughter.

At this time, the rain had already reached the chests of the two men. Jiang Huashan did not dare to delay any longer. After climbing up the ditch, he dragged Fu Suier up.

Fu Sui'er's leg had been stuck for almost four hours and it was difficult to recover in a short time, so Jiang Huashan could only lend her half of her shoulder, and the two supported each other as they moved forward.

"Let's go." There was a raging storm in the mountains and forests. Fu Suier looked at the road ahead and just wanted to leave here immediately.

"Wait a moment." Jiang Huashan held her and looked back at the deep ditch behind him.

Puzzled, Fu Suier followed the lead and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Huashan looked at the rising water level in front of him and asked, "Do you still find it scary now?"

Fu Sui'er was slightly stunned, and Fu Lin's heart was touched. She looked away and realized that the ravine that scared her to death was actually just an insignificant crack in the earth slope. It was not even as deep as the swimming pool at home.

She seemed to suddenly understand something, but couldn't grasp it, and seemed to understand it vaguely.

Fu Sui'er turned to look at Jiang Huashan, his eyes shining.

Jiang Huashan touched her head and said, "Suier, remember, when facing all those who want to kill you and trample on you, don't look up, look down."

Looking down?

Fu Sui'er's eyelids moved slightly, and the tears in his eyes burst out.

Jiang Huashan nodded. "There's one more thing you have to remember. I can't always show up in time, so if something like this happens again, don't give up on saving yourself until the moment you die. Do you understand?"

The tears were squeezed out, and what remained in the eyes was the courage to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

Fu Suier nodded, "I understand."

This was the moment of thought that she just couldn't grasp.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Shen family arrived at the mountain road.

Because the situation is extremely serious, the entire mountain road is currently under control of the local government.

Shen Zhuang did not go to Xiangying to meet up with Shen Lanxi, but went directly to the scene of the incident.

It was raining heavily, the thunder and lightning were getting more and more severe, and the weather was extremely bad.

Shen Zhi was directing personnel dispatch at the scene. When he turned around and saw the familiar license plate, he was startled and quickly took the umbrella from the bodyguard and ran forward.

Shen Zhuang pushed open the car door, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, a huge umbrella opened above his head.

"Old man."

Shen Zhuang had originally heard about how bad the weather was over the phone, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, his face became extremely gloomy.

"No news yet?"

It was thundering and raining, and the mountain wind in late August was freezing cold. How could two children bear it?!

Shen Zhi didn't dare to breathe, "Five hundred people went down, but..."

"But what but? If five hundred people aren't enough, then five thousand. Even if we have to dig up this mountain, you have to find the people for me."

"Butler Shen." Before Shen Zhi could finish dealing with Shen Zhuang, Shen Jiao ran out of the car again. "Where's Sui'er? No news at all?"

Shen Che looked around and then at Shen Zhuang, "Dad! Something's wrong. Usually, searching a mountain is difficult because there's no target. We don't know where to start. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. But the area where the children fell has been identified. With so many people, they should have found them long ago."

Butler Shen nodded. "That's right. So we figured it was the two young ladies who were moving, so we expanded the search area."

Shen Che frowned, clearly dissatisfied with this explanation. In such a harsh environment, how could two girls move around? Their range of movement was certainly less than that of the adults searching for them. If they hadn't found them in five hours, they either missed them or were searching in the wrong direction.

But saying such words at this time would do nothing but increase anxiety. Shen Che turned his head and winked at Shen Rang, who understood and took two steps forward.

Shen Che whispered, "Are all the people from the Dark Hall here?"

Shen Rang nodded.

Shen Che, "Let them jump out of the range to look for it, be careful."

Shen Rang's chubby face froze for a moment, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "If that group of people really come down the mountain and attack those two little girls, I'll definitely tear their heads off."

In Shen Rang's eyes, Shen Lanxi is the future head of the Shen family. If he wants to inherit the crown, he must bear its weight. If he dies in assassination or conspiracy, it will prove that he is not qualified to be the head of the Shen family.

But Fu Sui'er and Jiang Huashan are different. They are daughters of the Shen family. Even if they die, it will not shake the power structure of the Shen family. If the assassin still keeps holding on to the two little girls at this time, it is obvious that he has ulterior motives.

Shen's old house.

Dark clouds were gathering over the city, and bright lights were already on in the inner courtyard during the day.

The lotus in the water tank in front of the hall could not withstand the heavy rain and broke into pieces and scattered on the water surface. The water in the tank was full and overflowed, over and over again.

Grandma Wu clasped her hands together and knelt in the Shen family ancestral hall.

The atmosphere in the old house was depressing, and even the bright hall that had been sunny all summer was now filled with gloom.

Outside the window, the rain on the eaves formed a huge curtain of rain. Shen Lanxi turned half of her face to the side, and her slender fingers tapped the poor little turtle shell from time to time.

"Young Master." Gao Zhi put down his umbrella and pushed the door open.

The young man paused for a moment and looked up.

Gao Zhi, "The old man is here."

Shen Lanxi's eyes were slightly surprised, "Grandpa is here?"

Gao Zhi nodded, "All three branches of the Shen family are here, and they are all on the mountain road now."

Shen Lanxi thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let's go."

"Yes."

"Wait." Shen Lanxi had just stepped out of the door when she suddenly thought of something and looked back at the window. "Take it with you."

Gao Zhi was confused. How could anyone be in this room? He looked around and saw a turtle crawling on the table.

Isn’t this the turtle that the little lunatic secretly put into his pocket?

Is this what the young master was talking about?

Gao Zhi turned back to confirm, but Shen Lanxi had already disappeared. Without further hesitation, he carefully put the poor little thing into his pocket and turned around to chase after her.

Mountain roads and dense forests.

Jiang Huashan and Fu Sui'er supported each other as they moved through the forest path.

They originally wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain, but the forest was full of trees and they did not dare to stay in the stormy weather.

At this point, both of them were exhausted, but neither of them said they were tired.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Fu Suer kept making small talk.

"You just jumped down to find me like that? Where's that poor little thing?"

Small poor?

Jiang Huashan smiled and said, "I have already arranged it."

Just now when she was going crazy upstairs, she took advantage of Gao Zhi's inattention and threw the poor little thing into his pocket.

Gao Zhi is a big, stupid guy with a heart of stone, but he has no resistance to small animals. The poor little thing is absolutely safe in his care.

Fu Suier looked at the road ahead blankly. "I wonder how much time has passed now? Grandpa should come to find us, right?"

Jiang Huashan looked at the countdown above Fu Suier's head and said calmly, "5 hours, 16 minutes, 48 seconds."

[Elimination countdown: 19:44:12 seconds]

The countdown in her mind shifted after she saw Fu Suer.

Jiang Huashan looked around vigilantly. She thought the countdown would disappear after they climbed out of the puddle, but it didn't. This meant that the crisis had not been resolved.

But what is the real crisis?

Just when she was puzzled, a man in camouflage uniform walked out from behind a big tree, and the three of them ran into each other head-on.

The three of them were startled at the same time, especially the man, who seemed to have seen a ghost.

The weird atmosphere lasted for three seconds. Jiang Huashan reacted and pulled Fu Suier away.

The man had a gun in his hand, and he was not surprised but frightened when he saw them, which meant that he was not the one sent by the Shen family to find them.

So...he is Fu Sui'er's real murderer.

The man scratched his forehead in annoyance and calmly took off the sniper rifle from his back.

"Hello? Boss, it's me. They saw my face."

The person on the other end of the phone said something and then hung up.

The man raised a playful smile on his face and aimed his gun at the two poor prey.
