Chapter 1523: Chapter 1516: Epilogue (7)

Qin Zhiyou shouted again, "Xixi, are you there? Can you hear me? I’m here! I’ve brought money to pay your ransom!"

As she was about to reach the summit, as she heard Qin Zhiyou’s voice getting closer, she finally couldn’t help but feel excited and wanted to call out. But when she opened her mouth, her throat was completely hoarse, and she couldn’t utter a single word.

Unwilling to give up, she struggled to climb higher, but she faintly felt some movements behind her, rapidly approaching. A hint of fear grew inside her, uncertain who the approaching person could be. It might be the police, but it could also be the kidnappers.

She could only try harder, climb faster, but often in haste one can’t achieve immediate results. The more she tried to escape, the more likely she was to stumble, nearly rolling down the mountain.

Even though she later stabilized herself by holding onto a tree trunk, the sounds of pursuit behind her grew closer. But with the summit still about ten meters away, comprising smooth granite that was difficult to climb, she bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and instead of desperately climbing further, she quickly hid in a nearby concealed recess. If it were the police, she would immediately call for help. If it were the kidnappers, by hiding she could mislead them, directing them in the wrong direction, buying herself some time.

After hiding to the side, it wasn’t long before she heard someone climbing upwards, speaking in a foreign dialect as they did. Although she couldn’t quite understand what was being said, she faintly knew they were definitely cursing her.

Indeed, it was the kidnappers, specifically the one she had knocked down with a rock.

Even though Lu Weixi had stepped in to help, she was a woman with less strength, on top of not having eaten for days. Although hitting them with the rock hurt, it wasn’t lethal, and surely another kidnapper would have returned and rescued him. The foreign-accented kidnapper, who was already in a bad temper and had previously wanted to kill her, was now even angrier after being ambushed and injured. If she fell into his hands, she would surely be in a living hell!

"Be quiet, do you know there are police?" another kidnapper’s voice followed, and after this, the foreign-accented guy stopped talking, but his footsteps continued.

Fortunately, her judgment was right. The foreign-accented kidnapper, grumbling all the way, actually climbed right past above her. The rocks that were extremely difficult for her, an inexperienced climber who was pregnant, to ascend, were like flat ground to the kidnappers who were used to moving through the mountains. She could feel the ease with which the kidnapper ascended to the mountaintop, even the soil he dislodged while climbing fell rustling onto her head.

Yet she dared not move, not until she could hear the sounds of those people moving far away. She didn’t dare make a move.

After a long while, when she could no longer hear any footsteps above her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Zhiyou’s voice was getting closer, obviously, the two kidnappers made very little noise while climbing; he was on another peak, unaware of their presence. She continued to climb in the opposite direction of the kidnappers, using both hands and feet, barely managing to reach the summit.

As she climbed over, she caught sight of Qin Zhiyou’s back as he walked forward. Just as Lu Weixi was about to call out, suddenly, her head was struck heavily, immediately knocking her unconscious, and afterwards, her leg was grabbed, and she was pulled down.
