Our boss is showing off his daughter-in-law again [Rebirth]

Ah Ci walked towards the depths of the forest first, and Jian Yan and Lao Ma also hurriedly followed.

Because the forest is next to the river, fishermen occasionally come in to rest when they have nothing to do. Lao Ma usually asks someone to clean it up after a while, lest the snakes and insects in it crawl out and hurt the fishermen.Therefore, the vegetation here is not lush, and because it is summer, it has not rained for a long time, and even the footprints are very shallow. Although there are some traces, it is difficult to distinguish clearly.

The forest is not too big, and the three of them quickly searched around, but found nothing.

It was not early when they came out. At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and the moon was hanging high, but it couldn't see clearly through the bushes.

"Forget it, let's go back first." Jian Yan said helplessly, "You can't see anything in the dark, don't find clues and destroy the traces she left."

A Ci and Lao Ma also nodded, and were about to leave, but found that Jian Yan frowned suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Ah Ci was most sensitive to Jian Yan's expression changes.Feeling, asked hastily.

"Did you hear anything just now?" Jian Yan asked softly.

A Ci and Lao Ma looked at each other and shook their heads.At this time, all the fishermen by the river had left, and the night fishers hadn't come yet, so there was basically no one.There were only three of them in this forest, and they didn't hear any sound just now.

Jian Yan listened intently for a while, but did not hear any more sounds. Thinking that he might have heard it wrong, he shook his head and said, "Let's go."

Who knew that just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "click".

The sound should be quite loud, but it came from a distant place, and it was very small when it reached their ears. Both A Ci and Lao Ma heard it this time, like the sound of a branch being snapped.

The expressions of the three of them became solemn, and Ah Ci pointed to a steep slope opposite the grove, and said softly, "There."

The sound came from the steep slope, which was next to the river, and there was only a very difficult path to go up.They subconsciously thought that Mao Lei might not be able to climb up as a woman, so they ignored that place.

Now there is a sound coming from there. Although it may be an animal, it is unlikely that there will be a very destructive animal so close to the human life circle, so it is very likely that someone is on the slope.

There are lush trees on the slope, and it is impossible to see why at a glance.Jian Yan gestured to the two of them, and the three of them silently approached the steep slope.

The three of them have good skills. Although the road is difficult to walk, the three of them climbed up quickly without making any noise.

Climbing up the steep slope, A Ci felt that something was stepped on under his feet, and he almost fell, but fortunately, Jian Yan was beside him to help him.A Ci hurriedly took advantage of the faint moonlight, bent down, and picked up a women's shoe from the fallen leaves.

Noticing his movements, Lao Ma and Jian Yan also saw the shoe.

"It should be Mao Lei's." The old horse said softly, somewhat excited, "She should be on top."

"Hush!" Jian Yan lightly signaled the old horse not to speak, the situation is unknown now, even though Mao Lei was on it, she even lost one of her shoes, which shows that the situation is very critical.

The three of them became quiet, and sure enough, they heard rustling sounds coming from the steep slope.Jian Yan concentrated on distinguishing it, it sounded like a person's footsteps, and seemed to be dragging some heavy objects.

After confirming the direction, Jian Yan gestured to A Ci and Lao Ma again, and the three of them dispersed a little, and continued to go up in the direction where the voice came from.

No one came to clean here, and the ground was full of fallen leaves. No matter how good their skills were, they couldn't help but make no noise at all.

As they approached the top of the steep slope, the voice became clearer and clearer, and the three of them became more careful, but when they were approaching, the voice suddenly stopped.

In the darkness, they didn't have time to exchange glances, but they knew in their hearts that the person who made the voice had also noticed their arrival.

A Ci reacted the fastest and rushed over quickly.

Then he saw a man dragging a woman forward. At this time, he had just reached the edge of the steep slope, and the fishing river was below.

The trees here don't cover much, Ah Ci can tell at a glance that the woman is Mao Lei, and the man is the thief who stole Mao Lei's things last time.

The thief was also shocked when he saw A Ci rushing over. He had fought A Ci before and knew that he was not his opponent.In desperation, he directly pushed the fur bud in his hand into the river, while he himself ran in the opposite direction.

A Ci didn't have time to take care of the thief, and immediately rushed to rescue Mao Lei, but it was still a step too late, only caught Mao Lei's hand, and he himself was also carried by Mao Lei into the river due to inertia , but Ah Ci still did not let go.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Ci was thinking, although the slope is steep, it is actually not particularly high. There is water below, so falling down may not necessarily lead to death.But the problem is that the river is not deep, so if there are some hard rocks in the river, it will be hard to say.

Before he could finish his thought, he felt someone grab his ankle, and heard Jian Yan's frightened voice: "A Ci..."

After Jian Yan grabbed his ankle, he fell for a further distance before stopping.

Ah Ci could guess without looking up, Jian Yan grabbed him, and Lao Ma grabbed Jian Yan from behind.Their current situation is the same as the plots that often appear in TV dramas, one is pulling the other, unable to fall, but probably unable to climb up either.

It's just that they are not filming TV series now, and no one will come to rescue them.Moreover, the thief is nearby.If he had the courage to look back, he only needed to push the old horse lightly, and the four of them might all die.

Ah Ci's first reaction was to break free from Jian Yan's hand. If Jian Yan was alone, the old horse should be able to drag him back.But for the three of them, Lao Ma definitely doesn't have the ability to rescue them all.The result of waiting, can only die together, let go now, at least Jian Yan and Lao Ma will be fine.Even if the thief came back, he would not be their opponent.And he and Mao Lei may not necessarily die if they fall.It is the most sensible thing to do.

Before Ah Ci's thoughts could be put into action, he heard Jian Yan calling him: "A Ci..."

Jian Yan's voice was very calm, the same as when he was usually asked what he wanted to eat, and he couldn't even hear worry or fear.

Ah Ci was stunned by the sound, subconsciously raised his head to look at Jianyan.He is in an upside-down posture now, and it is night again, and Jian Yan looks at his posture even more strangely, he should not be able to see his eyes clearly.However, Ah Ci could clearly see the affection and tenderness in Jian Yan's eyes, the very calm affection and tenderness.There was no anxiety or uneasiness at all because of being in a dangerous situation.

Ah Ci also calmed down miraculously, and that thought that just came up was deeply suppressed just like that.When he was reborn, wouldn't his greatest wish be to grow old with Jian Yan?How can one have the thought of dying just because of a little predicament?If he really died, how sad would Jian Yan be?Being able to be reborn once is already a great fortune. How could there be a second time for this kind of thing?He said that he would not let Jian Yan bear the pain of losing his beloved again, so he must not take risks lightly.

Ah Ci nodded towards Jianyan, indicating that he would not be stupid, and then remembered to care about Mao Lei's situation.

"Miss Mao?" Ah Ci shouted, he couldn't see Mao Lei's face clearly, but her hands were cold, probably she was really frightened this time.

But Ah Ci didn't get Mao Lei's response, and he didn't know whether he was too scared to speak, or just fainted.

Ah Ci had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, we will rescue you up."

Still did not get a response, Ah Ci also ignored her, and began to observe the surrounding situation.They have no place to rely on, and they won't last long like this.

This place can be regarded as a cliff, although not a single blade of grass grows, but those few weeds can't bear any weight.

"A Ci!" Jian Yan called him again from above, "Try a crack in the rock..."

Ah Ci was overjoyed when he heard the words, digging those rock crevices where weeds grew might be able to make room for his hands.

Jian Yan was holding his feet, and one hand couldn't hold it at all, so both hands couldn't let go.

But Ah Ci was different, what he grabbed was Mao Lei's hand, it wasn't long now, and one hand could barely support it for a while.If he could find a point of leverage, the old horse would be much easier on it, and maybe he could move up a little bit, at least they could last longer.If they never go back, Yin Tong should send someone to look for them, right?Anyway, no matter what, if you support for a while, you will have more hope.

A Ci was a little excited, and tried his best to stick to the edge of the cliff, but heard a muffled groan from Jian Yan above his head.A Ci was startled, and hurriedly looked up: "Are you okay?"

Jian Yan shook his head, Ah Ci couldn't see Jian Yan's situation, so he didn't delay any longer. Looking at the place, he stretched out his hand to pick up the weeds in the crevices of the rocks, and after cleaning all the mud and sand, the narrow crevices were just enough to It got stuck in A Ci's hand.

Ah Ci was overjoyed, supported the rock, and moved his body upwards.

The people above really relaxed a lot, and they also moved up.

Although this method is laborious, it also has some effect.

The spirits of several people were shaken. Ah Ci dug the cracks in the rock all the way up. After an unknown period of time, he felt that his hands were almost useless, and he was unconscious, so he kept climbing up.

Jian Yan's feet have already reached the top of the cliff, and with a little more effort, he will be able to go up.

Ah Ci breathed a sigh of relief, but his hands slipped and he almost fell down again.

Jian Yan panicked and pulled back with all his strength, but because of too much force, his shoulder hit the rock hard again.The bones felt like they were about to shatter, but the strength in Jian Yan's hands did not loosen at all.

Ah Ci had already stabilized his figure, and didn't feel the situation above at all. He let out a long breath, pulled himself together, and climbed up again.

Finally, Jian Yan found a place to rely on, and together with the old horse, he pulled A Ci and Mao Lei up the cliff together.

Before Ah Ci had time to stand still, Jian Yan hugged him into his arms with such force that Ah Ci felt that his bones were about to be crushed, but it was this strength that made him feel extra at ease.

Feeling Jian Yan's body trembling, Ah Ci understood that his calmness and indifference just now were all faked, Jian Yan's heart must have suffered more than himself.

"Fortunately, it didn't fall..." The old horse said with lingering fear, "The river is too shallow, and there are many rocks in it..."

Ah Ci hugged Jian Yan tightly, secretly glad that he didn't lose his mind at that time.

Smelling the familiar scent of her lover, Jian Yan also slowly calmed down.After a while, he let go of Ah Ci, and stretched out his hand to grab Ah Ci's hand, but he heard a soft "hiss" from the other party.

Although Ah Ci quickly swallowed the ending sound, Jian Yan still heard clearly.

"What's wrong? Are you injured?" Jian Yan turned to hold Ah Ci's wrist, and pulled his hand in front of him for a look, but saw that the back of Ah Ci's hand was covered in blood and flesh, which was obviously worn out in the crevice of the rock just now .

"It's okay, just a little injury." Seeing Jian Yan's eyes, Ah Ci wanted to withdraw his hand.

Jian Yan tore open the sleeve of his shirt and roughly bandaged Ah Ci. He felt extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't speak.

"I……"

Jian Yan just opened her mouth, but was interrupted by the old horse's scream.

Lao Ma has never been a person who makes a fuss, and there are not many things that can make him scream.

Aci and Jianyan looked over together and found that the old horse was checking the fur buds on the ground.

A Ci and Mao Lei were pulled up together just now, A Ci was held in Jian Yan's arms, and Mao Lei was forgotten by them for a while, and fell to the ground.

Ah Ci was secretly ashamed that they had forgotten such an important person as Mao Lei.

Jian Yan immediately had a bad premonition in his heart. Mao Lei didn't respond at all after such a long time, maybe the situation is not very good.

"She..." The old horse backed away a little, and pointed at the fur bud on the ground, with panic in his eyes.

Only then did Jian Yan and A Ci see that Mao Lei had a knife stuck in her chest, and her clothes were already soaked in blood.Because when she fell, Ah Ci held her arm, so no one saw her front clearly, and didn't know that she was injured.

Ah Ci remembered the cold touch of her hand before, and then reacted, broke away from Jian Yan's hand, and rushed over to check Mao Lei's injury.

However, when Ah Ci got closer, she realized that Mao Lei's hand was not only cold, her limbs were already stiff, and a small amount of body spots appeared, which meant that she had been dead for several hours.

He just remembered that they saw the thief dragging Mao Lei away before, not because he held Mao Lei hostage, but because Mao Lei was already dead at that time.

What they rescued with all their might was Mao Lei's corpse, and that feeling was too uncomfortable.Ah Ci squatted on the ground in pain, not because he regretted saving Mao Lei's body, even if he knew that Mao Lei was dead beforehand, he would have tried his best to save her body like that.

However, Ah Ci couldn't help thinking, if they had come earlier, would Mao Lei not have died?He clearly thought that Mao Lei would be in danger so early on, but he didn't come until this time, and he didn't find her until she died.In the end, it was still a step too late.

"A Ci." Jian Yan bent down and pulled A Ci up, and said, "Don't be sad, we still have a lot to do."

A Ci calmed down for a while, and then took a closer look at Mao Lei, and found that there were many scars on her face. Most of these scars had life reactions, and they should have been severely beaten before she was alive.

Jian Yan patted him on the shoulder, called the police first, and then said: "Let's look around first to see if the document is still there."

Now that Mao Lei is dead, the murderer is still the thief before. They can already confirm that the murderer is for the documents that were not stolen last time.They had been delayed for so long just now, and the murderer had already fled to an unknown place.They are not familiar with the terrain here, so it is unwise to search for it by themselves, they can only wait for the police to arrive first.

Jian Yan said that they were looking for the documents, but they all knew that it was basically impossible for the documents to still exist.

Sure enough, until the police arrived, they didn't find any trace of the document, and it was very likely that it was taken away by the murderer.

Judging from the situation at the scene, Mao Lei probably escaped to this hillside after discovering the murderer, but was still caught by the murderer.After the murderer beat her up, he got what he wanted and killed Mao Lei.The murderer was about to dispose of the corpse when Jian Yan and the others rushed to interrupt him.He had fought against Jian Yan and the others, and knew that he was no match for them and got what he wanted, so he ran away immediately.

Jian Yan followed them to the local police station, and then called Zou Hongshuo, asking him to send someone over for reinforcements.The murderer did not leave a message last time, and his murder has been confirmed. What is needed now is to hunt for the murderer.

In short, they did not follow the police to search and arrest, and planned to go back and talk to Aunt Liu first.When Mao Lei encountered danger, she didn't run to crowded places, but hid in the woods, which shows that she doesn't trust people outside.

Lao Ma remembered that Aunt Liu had been out for a while this afternoon, and the time basically coincided with the time Mao Lei died.Now that Mao Lei is dead, Lao Ma doesn't dare to insist that Aunt Liu is fine.

The three of them took a taxi back to Chenyu Mountain Villa, A Ci and Jian Yan sat in the back, A Ci was still a little depressed.Jian Yan held his injured hand, feeling uncomfortable.At the police station just now, he had re-bandaged Ah Ci, but thinking of his injured hand, his heart ached.He always said he wanted to protect him, but he couldn't protect him well.

"It's just a little bit of skin, but no bones." Ah Ci noticed Jian Yan's emotion, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly.

Jian Yan froze for a moment, gritted her teeth, raised her left hand to hug Ah Ci, and gave a soft "hmm".

A few people returned to the villa and went straight to Lao Ma's house. When Lao Ma turned on the light, he suddenly sensed something was wrong and called out, "Tongtong?"

The room was empty and no one responded.Jian Yan and A Ci also realized that if Yin Tong was at home, why didn't they turn on the lights?

"Tongtong!" The old horse panicked and rushed upstairs like crazy.

Jian Yan and A Ci also hurriedly searched at home.

The old Ma's house was not big, so they searched it quickly, but they didn't find Yin Tong's shadow.
