Chapter 869: Escape Tunnels

ng," a burst of red sparks exploded in the air. The masked man immediately looked up and, upon seeing the direction of the sparks, bowed back in reply:"Princess, another group found traces of Xu Fengz...As she fell, Lian Ri drew the bone knife that had been hidden up her sleeve. Using her descent as momentum, she plunged it precisely into the other person's temple the instant they caught her. Her scream was meant to cover the sound of the other person's dying gasp.

Then she directly threw herself onto the man's body, and took out her knife, making the men below think that she had knocked him unconscious when she jumped down.

"Fourth Brother"

The man cried out urgently.

The passage inside the channel was pitch black, he could only see shadows on the ground. He immediately ran over and saw that the big-bellied woman's body trembled, as if Si Ge who was pressed underneath her was pushing hard, but it was too heavy to budge.

He immediately shoved the gun into his waistband and ran over, flinging Ripples aside.

The ripples were waiting for this moment. The instant the opponent lifted her, the dagger in her hand flashed again, this time aimed at their throat.

The man felt a sharp pain in his neck. Instinctively, he reached up to touch it, only to find his hand covered in blood. He went to draw his gun but was kicked hard in the stomach by Ripples, sending him flying into the dark tunnel wall. He slowly lost consciousness.

At this time, the situation was also very dire for her. The continuous exertion had finally pushed her limits and she could feel liquid flowing down her inner thigh. Before long, her pants were soaked, and the feeling of heaviness in her lower abdomen became more pronounced.

"Oh!!!"

Ripple cried out, now she was truly waiting for rescue. She could hold on, but Han Jing's body couldn't stand it anymore.

And the ripples of the terrible screams inside the house still spread out through the open secret passage, causing those outside to jump in their hearts and knowing something was wrong, they immediately launched a full-scale assault.

What they said about a half-hour was originally just a way to buy time, to calm the criminals down and prevent them from harming the hostages. They were planning to send someone around to the back of the yard and storm in from there. But now, the situation clearly doesn't allow for that.

When everyone rushed in, flipped the lights on, and searched every room, they found a woman lying on a bed inside. They initially judged that she had fainted, otherwise with so much commotion, the other party wouldn't have remained unresponsive.

There was also a man lying on the ground, his face covered in blood, bound tightly. He seemed to be regaining consciousness now, so let's control him first and then talk.

Last of all, a secret passage entrance was discovered on the bed in the old woman's house. Immediately, a team member jumped down and saw three people lying dead in a pool of blood. Ripple looked the most miserable.

Ripple felt safe as the light washed over her, and she peacefully drifted away. Her task was complete; now it was up to the police and doctors.

Even the young police officers who came after were terrified. They each touched their noses to check for breathing, and confirmed that both men were dead. The woman must have been a hostage, and she was heavily pregnant. But judging from the large pool of blood beneath her, it was clear she wouldn't live much longer. He immediately raised his head and shouted:

"Captain, the woman is still alive, but she has lost a lot of blood."

"Save the person first!"

"Yes!"

It had been three days since the ripples regained consciousness. Everything was eerily quiet around her, with the faint scent of disinfectant under her nose. She knew she must be in a hospital. Thankfully, after taking over her body, she had been well-fed and cared for for a month. Otherwise, this time Han Jing would have been in grave danger.

Although it was Ripples who made the move, it could be considered as indirectly avenging Han Jing. They recovered a portion of the interest from the human trafficker. Although the original soul once again fell into slumber, there were no signs of dissipation anymore.

Liàn Yī opened her eyes. All she saw was a white ceiling and a fluorescent light tube. She turned her eyes, and in her peripheral vision she saw a woman sitting by the bed. She was probably in her forties, Han Jìng's mother.

Ripple moved her finger, then called out softly:

"Mom!"

The woman had been dozing with her eyes half-closed. The sound of "Mom" instantly jolted her awake. She opened her eyes and saw her daughter, who was already awake. Tears welled up in her eyes immediately.

"Quiet! Mommy is late."

Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face. Ripples' eyes also gradually moistened. She knew this was the original owner's emotions, so she didn't try to control them. The mother and daughter embraced each other and cried, venting their fear.

Then the original body's mother wiped away her tears, ran out to call a doctor, and took the opportunity to call her husband.

"Lao Han, come to the hospital quickly, our daughter has woken up."

The person on the phone just replied with a "hello" before hanging up, apparently rushing over to see their daughter.

A moment later, two doctors and two nurses came into Lian's small ward. After examining her, they said:

"The patient has now passed the critical period, but for a while, her body will be weaker. She is experiencing both qi and blood deficiency, so she needs to recuperate well, eating nutritious food to replenish herself."

Thank you, doctor. I understand.

"Medication is not as good as food supplementation, and it should be done gradually. Her body is currently weak and cannot handle excessive supplementation."

"Yes, I wrote it down."

“Family members, please come with me. I'll tell you which supplements are suitable for her and the dosage. You better write it down, because some things we don't have here.”

"Good."

Han Jeong's mother immediately turned her head to Ripples and said:

"Quiet, close your eyes and rest first. Your father will be here in a while."

The ripples nodded obediently.

As soon as Deng Wenjing and the doctor left the ward, her expression changed. She knew very well that the doctor had called the family out privately instead of explaining things to the patient's face, it must be that something very serious had happened to her daughter.

"Doctor, are there any other issues with my daughter"

Wen Jing asked with a worried face.

I called you out because I wanted to avoid explaining the situation to your daughter, she's still young and I'm worried she wouldn't be able to handle it.

The doctor sighed and said.

When the patient was brought in by police late that night, he knew things were bad. In the end, events unfolded in the worst possible way.

"You said."

Wenjing had already mentally prepared herself, so she spoke directly.

When she was brought in, her water had already broken. She was 28 weeks pregnant, and due to external pressure, the fetus had become a stillbirth. Her uterus had also ruptured. Although the surgery was successful and your daughter’s life was saved, she will probably be unable to bear children in the future.

The doctor said in a low voice.

Those damned slave traders

Her lips trembled, the words almost forced out between her teeth.

"Please remain calm, family. Being unable to bear children won't affect her future life and work; it might just pose some obstacles in marriage. But with the advancement of medical technology, these issues will definitely be resolved in the future."

The doctor comforted.

There were some things he couldn't explain too clearly. This girl was obviously being forced, with many old injuries on her body, along with tears that couldn't be concealed by pregnancy. He could even imagine how she became pregnant.

"Okay, I've noted that, thank you doctor."

Wenjing wiped away her tears and said.

"Wenjing, how is your daughter doing"searchers in the underground laboratory mistakenly believed that the "lantern tree" seeds they were storing had become problematic, forcing them to seek assistance from the headquarters. They shut dow...
