At Shen Li's home, He's mother sat restlessly on the living room sofa, her eyes fixed on the phone on the table.

Her eyes were bloodshot. She hadn't closed them since Lin Zhihao and the other person went missing. Her father pressed her down on the bed, but she struggled to break free, clutching her phone tightly and trembling uncontrollably.

Helpless, Mr. He could only sit with her in the living room.

"Junyao, what should I do? Waaaaah, what should I do? I've lost my daughter again, I've lost my daughter again. I'm so sorry, so sorry." Mother He held Father He's hand and kept apologizing, tears falling like pearls.

“It’s okay, Yuyu, it’s okay, Yuyu. Our daughter is so smart, she will definitely protect herself. Besides, we have already called the police, please trust the police, okay?” Mr. He hugged Mrs. He. He was also very anxious about his daughter’s disappearance, but he had to stay calm. Only by staying calm could he solve the problem.

"What do they want? Money? Land? Shares? Why haven't they called yet? I'll give them anything, I'll give them anything, just give me back my daughter, sob sob sob."

Mrs. He was emotionally agitated and her whole body was tense. What would she do if her daughter didn't come back? The more she thought about it, the more her hands trembled.

"Dingling bell~Dingling bell~"

The phone on the table suddenly rang, and He's mother immediately pressed the answer button and, at the police's instruction, turned on speakerphone.

"Hey?"

"Mom! Waaah, Mom!" Lin Zhihao's voice came from the phone.

"Zhizhi!" Mother He suddenly stood up. "Waaah, my baby, you're there, waaah!"

"Mom, I don't know where I am. There are so many trees here, I don't know which forest this is. There are bad people here, Mom, please come and save me." Lin Zhihao's voice was filled with anxiety.

Hearing Lin Zhihao's voice, He's mother felt heartbroken.

"Okay, okay, Mommy's coming to save you, Mommy's coming to save you right away." Mother He grabbed her phone and started rushing towards the door, but Father He stopped her. "Yuyu, calm down, you don't even know where your daughter is."

After stopping He's mother, He's father asked into the phone, "Zhizhi, this is Dad. There are a lot of trees around you right now, right?"

"Yes, Dad."

"How many people are there on the other side?"

"I only saw ten of them, and they seemed to be foreigners, and they were carrying guns."

When Lin Zhihao said that the other party had a gun, everyone present trembled.

"gun?"

"Yes, it's guns, and I also heard that they were going to sell me and Manman to northern Myanmar."

"What!" Mr. He slammed his fist on the guest table, making the water glasses wobble. "Are any of you hurt?"

"No, Manman and I are both fine."

"Okay, babies, protect yourselves. Daddy will send people to rescue you soon. Remember, hide, you must hide. Daddy will be there for you soon."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, the police successfully located Lin Zhihao's approximate location using the phone's location tracking.

Mr. He gave the lead policeman a look and nodded.

Everyone immediately sprang into action.

He's mother wanted to go with the police, but He's father stopped her.

He calmed He's mother down, had the doctor give her a sedative, and then decisively followed the police to find his daughter. His daughters, Zhizhi and Manman, were still so young and must be terrified. He had to get to her side immediately!

Inside the forest cave, Lin Zhihao leaned against the wall, watching the outside of the cave warily. Liu Manlin was treating Long Jun's wounds, sobbing as she did so.

"Okay, I'm fine, don't cry." Long Jun raised his hand and wiped away Liu Manlin's tears that she couldn't hold back.

"Waaah, yes, Brother Long, you must take good care of yourself." Liu Manlin nodded.

Seeing that there was no unusual activity outside the cave, Lin Zhihao and He Manman took turns sitting down, with Lin Zhihao sitting next to Long Jun and the other man.

“Now you must listen carefully to what I am about to say.”

First, if we get caught today, it won't just be me and Manman; I believe you all understand from what happened this morning that we're all in the same boat.

Secondly, the other party is a desperate criminal. No matter what happens, we must remain absolutely calm and buy time.

Third, and most importantly, live well.

Lin Zhihao looked serious, while Long Jun and Liu Manlin nodded blankly.

Seeing that the two had understood her words, Lin Zhihao turned around and prepared to go find He Manman at the cave entrance.

"Lou Su." Long Jun called out to Lin Zhihao.

Lin Zhihao turned around, her eyes asking a question.

"I'm sorry." Long Jun apologized sincerely. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have had to suffer all of this. He was such a jerk that he made the three girls suffer along with him.

"Hmm." Lin Zhihao turned away indifferently.

He Manman stared at the rustling grass outside the cave. When she saw Lin Zhihao coming over, she smiled at her and said, "Sister Lin."

"Yes, they've treated the wounds. You stay here and guard the place. I'll be out for a bit. Remember, stay hidden. No matter what happens, don't make a sound unless you hear our signal."

"Sister Lin, where are you going?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll be right back." Lin Zhihao gripped the dagger in her hand and left the cave without looking back. "Take care of yourself."

"Okay, Sister Lin, you be careful too."

Lin Zhihao left the cave and climbed up the mountain, leaving traces along the way and occasionally trampling down plants. When she reached a hillside, Lin Zhihao loosely tied the strip of cloth stained with Long Jun's blood to a rock and rolled the rock down the hillside without hesitation.

Then, using the hillside as a branch, they ran wildly in another direction, ran a distance, climbed a 100-meter-tall tree, and tied the satellite phone to the top.

After doing all this, Lin Zhihao returned the way she came.

"Coo, coo, coo~ coo."

Hearing the commotion, He Manman, who had been hiding, peeked out. Seeing Lin Zhihao return safely, she waved excitedly and called out to Lin Zhihao in a low voice, "Sister Lin! Pfft pfft."

Back in the cave, everyone had almost recovered their strength.

Lin Zhihao set off with the three of them. Sitting and waiting for death would only lead to their capture. Before their parents came to rescue them, she had to keep traveling with everyone. She had already discarded the satellite phone. All she could do was run, and keep running.

Led by Lin Zhihao, the four of them kept traveling and rested from time to time. The dry food and water that Lin Zhihao had brought with them were almost all gone.
