The Case of Love

Chapter 78 Rescue
After leaving Songlin Town, Liu Shuangquan drove the car onto a small road.

Compared to the flat highway, this path is not only narrow, but also very bumpy, and there are few cars on the road. Li Zhisong was afraid that Liu Shuangquan in front would notice something unusual, so he slowed down. More than ten minutes later, Liu Shuangquan's tricycle turned to the left fork in the road, and under the reflection of the car lights, they found a row of houses in front of the left.

"I understand. Liu Shuangquan works in Songlin Town and lives in a house outside the town. There are few people here. As long as Xia Mo doesn't go out, no one can find her!" Li Zhisong said loudly.

Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan didn't say anything. They saw that the red tricycle had stopped and Liu Shuangquan got off.

"Senior Brother, slow down! Let's wait until he comes in before we go over!" Su Xiaohan could no longer remain calm, her heart was so nervous that it seemed like it was going to jump out.

She didn't know whether she would be able to see Xia Mo when she pushed the door open later. If she could, what kind of Xia Mo would it be?
After Liu Shuangquan pushed the door open and went in, Zhou Yifeng and the other two got out of the car. Through the tiny crack in the door, they could see the lights inside.

Li Zhisong was impatient and was about to kick the door when Zhou Yifeng stopped him. He made a "hush" gesture, signaling him to be quiet and listen attentively.

"Don't come over here!" The woman's voice was desperate and harsh.

"You little bitch, you can't give birth to a child for me, and yet you won't let me touch you! I paid to buy you to be my wife, not to be worshipped as an ancestor!" The man's voice was barbaric and vulgar.

"Captain Zhou, it's Xia Mo's voice. Yes, it's Xia Mo!" Su Xiaohan was so excited that she was incoherent.

"Boss, what are we waiting for? Why don't we go in and save them?" Li Zhisong was furious when he heard this.

"Kick the door!" Zhou Yifeng looked fierce.

Li Zhisong had been holding back his energy for a long time, and he kicked open the gate of the yard with just one kick.

Liu Shuangquan came out of the house upon hearing the noise, and was surprised to see Zhou Yifeng and the other two.

Before he could react, Li Zhisong stepped forward and held him down, motioning Su Xiaohan to come in and take a look. He had seen such scenes before, and he thought the woman inside must be disheveled, so he didn't want to barge in rashly and embarrass her.

"Who are you? Aren't you afraid that I will call the police?" Liu Shuangquan shouted.

"We are not afraid. We are just afraid that you don't dare to call the police!" After saying that, Zhou Yifeng showed his police ID.

Liu Shuangquan's expression darkened, and he no longer had the domineering aura he had just had.

Su Xiaohan opened the door and in the simple room, a woman was staring at her with her arms around her shoulders. She was naked, with the only thing on her body being a chain around her neck.

Although her face was pale and a little dirty, her eyes allowed Su Xiaohan to recognize at a glance that this thin, helpless, tortured and bruised woman was her best friend Xia Mo, whom she had been searching for for five years.

"Xia Mo, is that you?" Su Xiaohan wanted to confirm.

She thought she would respond to her, but as she got closer, she let out the same sharp cry as before.

Su Xiaohan felt sad and distressed, so she took off her coat and put it on her.

"Xia Mo, don't be afraid, I'm Xiaohan. Now that I'm here, no one will dare to bully you anymore..." Su Xiaohan walked forward and hugged her, feeling heartbroken.

At this moment, Xia Mo was shivering in her arms, tears rolling down his eyes, silently washing his dirty and red cheeks.

Su Xiaohan tried to open the iron chain around her neck and found that it was very strong and had a keyhole on it. She walked to the door and shouted, "Brother, ask the beast next to you where the key to the iron chain is?"

"Where's the key? Give it to me!" Li Zhisong asked sternly. Liu Shuangquan did not dare to neglect and took out a key from his pocket. Zhou Yifeng took it.

Su Xiaohan found some clothes in the house for Xia Mo to wear, and then let Zhou Yifeng in.

"Captain Zhou, she doesn't seem to recognize me." Looking at her best friend whose eyes were wide open and still shaking, Su Xiaohan felt sad and helpless.

"Don't worry, Xiaohan! Zhang Hong was in the same situation when she was rescued from the cave. They have all suffered too much torture and stimulation and need time to recover. I believe Xia Mo will be fine too!" Zhou Yifeng gently put his arm around Su Xiaohan's shoulders with a gentle look. Seeing her sad, his heart felt as if it was torn apart.

Su Xiaohan nodded, unable to control herself, she threw herself into Zhou Yifeng's arms and burst into tears.

After several years of searching, several years of concern, several years of worry, at this moment, her emotions were finally released.

Zhou Yifeng had never been so flustered before. He didn't know how to comfort her, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Hearing Su Xiaohan crying, Li Zhisong was worried and took Liu Shuangquan into the house. The scene before him made him swallow the words of comfort that he was about to say. Su Xiaohan was hugging Zhou Yifeng and crying, and Zhou Yifeng's hand was suspended in the air. As soon as he put it down, it bounced up again.

"Boss and Junior Sister can't be..." Li Zhisong stepped out, but couldn't help but start gossiping in his heart.

Su Xiaohan cried for a while and gradually regained her senses. She let go of Zhou Yifeng and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Captain Zhou, I lost my composure just now."

"It's okay, it's human nature. I... understand how you feel. Xiaohan, you should take off the chain around Xia Mo's neck first." Zhou Yifeng handed the key in his hand to Su Xiaohan, turned around and walked out.

Su Xiaohan wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve and inserted the key into the lock. With a "click", the iron chain fell to the ground.

Xia Mo, who had a dull look just now, suddenly ran out like crazy. Su Xiaohan was caught off guard and hurried to chase her. Fortunately, Zhou Yifeng was at the door and stopped Xia Mo.

Zhou Yifeng had just called Director Zhang, and he and several police officers were on their way.

The next afternoon, Zhou Yifeng and the other two took Xia Mo back to Beijing. Considering Xia Mo's physical and mental condition, Su Xiaohan sent her to Beijing Central Hospital for treatment. After much hesitation, Su Xiaohan informed Xia Mo's parents, and that night, the two elderly people finally saw their daughter who had been missing for five years.

Seeing the two elderly people crying, Su Xiaohan's mood, which had just calmed down, began to churn and stir again. This feeling made her chest feel suffocated. She came out of the ward and planned to go to the hospital to get some fresh air.

At the hospital gate, she saw Zhou Yifeng walking hurriedly from afar. Thinking of how she hugged him and cried the day before, Su Xiaohan felt embarrassed and subconsciously wanted to avoid him.

"Xiao Han!" Zhou Yifeng called her before she could escape.

Su Xiaohan had no choice but to greet him: "Captain Zhou, why are you here?"

"I came to see Xia Mo and also to see you." Zhou Yifeng said.

"Let me go with you!" Su Xiaohan turned around and walked towards the hospital.

Zhou Yifeng followed her and walked side by side with her.

"I bought you some pan-fried buns. You can have some later." Zhou Yifeng raised the food bag in his hand.

Su Xiaohan then noticed what he was holding and asked curiously, "I wanted to ask you last time, how do you know I like to eat Shengjianbao?"
