Lin Yao's call came out of the blue. Wei Ziqi had finally managed to persuade Miaomiao not to act rashly when the phone rang.
Oh no! I forgot to turn it to silent!
Wei Ziqi quickly hung up the call and swiftly typed a text message to Lin Yao, briefly explaining the current situation.
Miaomiao is tracking the murderer. At the back mountain. Do not disturb.
After seeing the text, Lin Yao immediately understood what Wei Ziqi meant.
Miaomiao wanted to avenge him and was personally tracking the murderer. She was now at the back mountain of the farm stay, and they were at a critical moment of the tracking. He was told not to call and scare the murderer away.
Oh no!
Lin Yao suddenly remembered the young master from his past life who, because of a single sentence, was beaten by Miaomiao until all his meridians were severed.
He knew exactly what position he held in Miaomiao's heart. Just because of a threatening remark, Miaomiao could be so fierce as to want to beat the person to death. Now, he had actually almost been killed. Miaomiao was probably going to lose her temper.
He wasn't worried about Miaomiao's situation anymore.
In his past life, in the blood - soaked martial world where everyone knew some martial arts, Miaomiao was still invincible. In this modern era, no one could even touch a hair on Miaomiao's head.
He was more worried about the situation of the murderer.
If Miaomiao got carried away and beat the murderer to death, and then had to bear the charge of being a murderer, that would be really bad.
Even if she didn't beat the murderer to death but just crippled him like she did to the young master, in the eyes of others, it would still be Miaomiao's fault.
Within a certain scope, Lin Yao could try to handle the situation, but once it went beyond that scope, not even he could protect Miaomiao.
In this modern era with such a perfect legal system, he would never allow his daughter to bear the charge of harming or killing someone.
He would rather do such a thing himself than let his daughter do it.
Lin Yao broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly returned to his hospital ward, put on a down jacket, and rushed out.
Lin Chengshan was almost scared out of his wits. He had no idea why Lin Yao was so agitated. He could only act like a little tail and follow his father's instructions, staying around Lin Yao to take care of him at any time.
However, the ringing of Wei Ziqi's phone that he forgot to turn off did scare the murderer.
Just as he finished sending the text message, there was a sound from inside the cave.
It was obviously the sound of footsteps. In this desolate mountain area, there was probably no one else in the cave except the murderer.
With her amazing hearing, Miaomiao was able to tell where the murderer was hiding in the cave just from those few footsteps. She took a big step and rushed in.
This time, Wei Ziqi had no chance to stop her at all.
Just as Wei Ziqi was about to follow her in, a figure suddenly rushed out of the darkness of the cave and pushed him to the ground. Then his arm started bleeding profusely.
He had guessed right. The murderer still had a knife in his hand.
Ignoring the pain in his body, Wei Ziqi quickly chased after them, afraid of losing them.
Miaomiao also followed closely behind, chasing the murderer relentlessly.
The two kids chased the murderer back and forth through the dense forest on the mountain.
Wei Ziqi could tell that the murderer not far in front of them was at the end of his strength. His steps were a bit unsteady, but he still burst out with amazing explosive power. His speed didn't decrease at all. Even Miaomiao couldn't catch up with him.
Sure enough, the will to survive could force a person to unleash extraordinary potential.
The murderer, only focused on running for his life, didn't even look back. He was running towards the foot of the mountain. But the lower they got, the more open the terrain became.
In the dense forest on the mountain, there might be obstacles that could slow Miaomiao down a bit. But if they really got to an open area, no matter how extraordinary the murderer's potential was, he couldn't outrun Miaomiao.
With a knife in his hand, when he saw two kids chasing him, instead of trying to fight, he just ran away without looking back. There was only one possibility.
The murderer clearly knew Miaomiao's fighting ability and didn't want to confront her head - on.
But since he knew Miaomiao's fighting ability, he should also know that the more open the area, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.
Then why was he running like this?
There were other small hills around.
Wei Ziqi couldn't figure it out until he got close to the foot of the mountain and saw an unlicensed van parked not far away. Then he knew the reason.
There was someone to pick him up.
In that case, this home invasion must not have been an accidental situation that evolved from a robbery.
It was all a pre - meditated intentional injury.
He just didn't know why the murderer had hidden in the mountain for two days and stayed there.
It seemed that the murderer was about to reach the van, but Miaomiao was still a long way behind.
Wei Ziqi was suddenly worried.
If the murderer escaped right in front of Miaomiao, she would definitely blame herself and get stuck in a rut.
Just then, either the murderer relaxed his vigilance when he saw the vehicle that was coming to pick him up, or his physical strength really couldn't hold out anymore. He suddenly stumbled and fell flat on the ground.
Taking advantage of this moment, Miaomiao leaped into the air and landed precisely in front of the murderer. Then she flipped over and straddled his back, raising her small fist and pounding it on his back.
With this blow, the murderer spat out a large mouthful of blood on the spot. He struggled to get up, but he couldn't muster any strength.
Miaomiao grabbed his collar and flipped him over, then punched him in the face.
The murderer, who had just spat out a mouthful of blood, spat out another mouthful. This time, there were a few teeth mixed in the blood.
Miaomiao's fierce look at this moment was something Wei Ziqi had never seen before.
He stood there in a daze. It took him a long time to come to his senses. He quickly ran forward and stopped Miaomiao's fist that was about to fall again.
"Stop hitting. If you hurt him too badly, we'll be in the wrong." Wei Ziqi advised anxiously.
"But he almost killed Dad!" Miaomiao angrily raised her head and shouted excitedly.
"I know. I understand. I can understand how you feel now. If someone hurt my mom, I would be as crazy as you. But Miaomiao, Uncle is okay now. And if you keep hitting him, you might also be punished. Let's think about the consequences. We can't let Uncle only be able to sing 'Tears Behind Bars' to you through the iron bars when he sees you in the future! Calm down a bit. That call just now was from Uncle. It means Uncle has woken up. Don't let him worry, and don't let me worry, okay?"
