Chapter 41: No Way Out, This Mountain Is So Big…

    The road conditions were already bad, and Tuxi Ling was driving erratically, Lan He tried to grab the seat belt several times but couldn’t, so he simply gave up.

    They roared past a fully loaded truck, narrowly avoiding disaster. Not only that, but many vehicles on the highway were involved in accidents because of them, leaving chaos in their wake.

    Lan He tried to soothe Tuxi Ling: “Tuxi Ling, what’s wrong? Tell me slowly, I’ll help you figure something out.”

    Tuxi Ling roared: “You’re so familiar with that bastard cop, what can you do to help me? They want to arrest me, they’re investigating my accounts! Bastards! They’re setting me up, they just want to investigate Qin Man’s murder of your father!”

    “Didn’t you say you didn’t think Qin Man would do something like that? Just explain it clearly to the police, hiding isn’t a solution.”

    “I can’t get out of this, how could they have investigated this far? No no no, absolutely not! How is it possible?”

    Tuxi Ling looked crazy, which was frightening. Lan He clutched his chest: “Tuxi Ling, my heart is very uncomfortable, this can’t go on, stop, I want to get out of the car.”

    Tuxi Ling’s eyes regained a little clarity: “Where’s your medicine?”

    Lan He gasped and said, “I didn’t bring it, I haven’t had an attack recently. Tuxi Ling, you’re driving too fast, I’m really uncomfortable. You can’t run with me anyway, let me out. We’re best friends after all, don’t kill me.”

    Tuxi Ling glanced at the beads of sweat on his forehead and really stopped the car. This place was at the foot of the mountain, right next to the lush mountain forest.

    “Indeed, there are surveillance cameras everywhere on the road, they already know I’m back in the country, I can’t get to the pier at all…”

    “Pier?”

    Tuxi Ling didn’t answer, he got out of the car decisively, dragged Lan He out with him, and ran all the way into the mountain.

    The shadows of the trees flashed past, they stepped on weeds and deliberately walked where there was no road. The faint sound of police sirens from the distant road made Tuxi Ling not dare to stop for a moment.

    “You are my hostage now, Lan He, don’t worry, I will definitely not hurt you. We’ll hide in the mountains for one night, and I’ll release you when I’m safe!” He suddenly paused, “Or, you can go abroad with me, it doesn’t matter if two people go, I’ll pay!”

    Lan He immediately understood the meaning of “pier,” suppressing the anxiety in his heart, he pretended to say easily: “I’m not going, I’ve only had a few days of peace! Please spare me!”

    He felt his hand tighten, Tuxi Ling’s strength when he was crazy was about to crush his bones.

    As he pulled him along, he turned his head and roared at him: “Didn’t you say we are best friends? I think so too, I suddenly don’t want to separate from you, don’t want to!”

    This idiot is really crazy!

    Lan He panted like his lungs were about to explode, cursing inwardly.

    In terms of strength, he naturally couldn’t twist Tuxi Ling’s arm, so he could only be pulled forward, constantly calculating countermeasures in his heart. Carelessly, he stepped into a slanted tree pit and fell.

    He simply didn’t get up.

    “I twisted my ankle, it hurts so much, don’t worry about me, you run!” He raised his head, looking at Tuxi Ling aggrievedly, with tears in his eyes.

    In a hurry, his hat also fell off, revealing a bald head with gauze on it, the gauze seeping a little crimson blood, as if accusing Tuxi Ling of violence.

    Tuxi Ling was startled by the scene in front of him: “You, where’s your hair? No, how did you get hurt? So serious?”

    “It was an accident, it’s not important.” Lan He struggled a bit, and fell back down, “The important thing is, I can’t move now.”

    Tuxi Ling turned around and squatted down: “Get on, I’ll carry you!”

    “It will slow you down, the police are here.” Lan He pointed to the foot of the mountain, from the dense branches and leaves, he could vaguely see many figures swaying.

    “No, it doesn’t matter, I won’t run, just find a place to hide!” Tuxi Ling looked around, “This mountain is so big, they won’t be able to find us for a while, we’ll hold on until tomorrow morning, and then we’ll rush to the pier when the time is right!”

    Lan He rolled his eyes in his heart, and had to obediently climb onto his back, he didn’t want to anger him and become an inexplicable victim.

    Saying they would find a place to hide, but where was that so easy?

    Now the city is advocating the construction of parks everywhere. As long as there is a little flat land inside and outside the city, it will immediately be listed as a development target. This mountain is next to the suburban county, so naturally it is no exception.

    Tuxi Ling carried Lan He over to the other side of the mountain, sweating profusely, and trotted down along a slope, he ran into a few old men who went up the mountain to walk their birds in the afternoon.

    He was dumbfounded and plunged into the forest.

    “Is that kid injured? And he’s bleeding! Should we call an ambulance? This way, this way down the mountain! You’re going the wrong way!”

    The old men behind him were still chattering, and some more enthusiastic ones took out their mobile phones and called the police.

    Tuxi Ling dodged people all the way, and after wandering around, he found an air-raid shelter, the surroundings looked deserted, and the ground was full of rotten branches, leaves, and bugs.

    Taking a closer look, the entrance to the air-raid shelter was blocked by huge stones, but there was an earth slope, as high as five meters, which was caused by soil erosion on the mountain above the air-raid shelter, and it was possible to climb up.

    Lan He said: “This can’t be entered, right?”

    Although Tuxi Ling was in good shape, he was exhausted after carrying a grown man in the mountains for so long. There happened to be a broken wooden stool next to him that someone had placed here for people to rest, so he put Lan He down: “You sit here, I’ll go up and take a look.”

    Lan He smiled and nodded, softly reassuring: “Be careful!”

    Tuxi Ling wiped his sweat and smiled at him too.

    As soon as he climbed the earth slope, Lan He looked around at the surroundings, and just saw someone quickly approaching from the place they came from.

    Ling Tuxi?

    Both sides were very surprised to see each other, Ling Tuxi was about to speak when Lan He made a “stop” gesture and pointed to the air-raid shelter. At this time, Tuxi Ling had already reached the top of the earth slope and was looking inside from the gap between the boulder and the entrance of the cave.

    Ling Tuxi stared worriedly at the red-stained gauze on his head for a few seconds, slowly frowned, the two made several eye exchanges, and finally hid behind a big tree at his suggestion.

    The distance was a bit far, Lan He planned to lure Tuxi Ling over first, so as not to escape again.

    He raised his voice: “Tuxi Ling, what’s the situation inside?”

    Tuxi Ling was smoked by the smell in the cave and covered his nose, unwilling to give up, he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to shine inside for a while before trotting down the earth slope.

    He looked tired: “No, it’s too deep, there’s no buffer, jumping down will definitely cause injury.”

    In order to attract his attention and provide cover for Ling Tuxi, Lan He continued to find something to say: “It’s so high, there’s no way to get out, right?”

    “You can’t get out, and it’s too dark inside… Ah!” Tuxi Ling hadn’t finished speaking when Ling Tuxi, who suddenly rushed out from the side, pounced on him.

    He struggled desperately, grabbing Ling Tuxi’s clothes and shouting: “Lan He, run!”

    Lan He: “…”

    Why should I run?

    People may be a little stupid when they are severely stimulated, right?

    Tuxi Ling rolled into the mud with Ling Tuxi, using the terrain to press him down. Ling Tuxi performed a beautiful counter-capture, turning the tables and suppressing him, pulling out handcuffs from his lower back with one hand.

    Ling Tuxi almost went down face-first just now, and his face was dark at this time. Although his posture was imposing, he really couldn’t see his heroic appearance. Lan He couldn’t help but smile looking at him.

    Suddenly, his expression became stern, and he shouted: “Be careful!”

    Tuxi Ling actually pulled out a sharp switchblade from his pocket.

    Ling Tuxi was alert when Tuxi Ling made an abnormal move. When Lan He reminded him, the handcuffs in his hand had instinctively met the knife.

    The sharpened blade deviated from the curved edge of the handcuffs, almost sparks could be seen, the sharp friction sound vibrated his eardrums, and the knife that was originally aimed at his temple slashed towards his throat.

    He quickly leaned back, the tip of the knife grazed the position of the carotid artery, “swish” cutting open the top two buttons of his police shirt.

    At that moment, his hair felt the coldness of the metal.

    Tuxi Ling saw the touch of gold jumping out of Ling Tuxi’s collar, his pupils suddenly widened, he was stunned for a few seconds, and the knife in his hand suddenly stabbed Ling Tuxi’s face fiercely.

    “Ling Tuxi!”

    Lan He was so frightened that his soul almost flew out, and he wanted to rush up at all costs. Almost at the same time, with a “bang,” blood splattered from Tuxi Ling’s wrist, he screamed and let go, the knife fell towards his face, and was quickly slapped away by Ling Tuxi.

    Ling Tuxi suddenly turned to the direction from which the bullet was fired, vaguely seeing a tall figure flashing in the dense forest, he wanted to chase, but he was worried about leaving Lan He alone.

    He quickly patrolled to the opponent’s blind spot, and shouted to Lan He: “Hide to the air-raid shelter!”

    Then he dragged Tuxi Ling with him to hide, pressed the person with his knees, and took out his mobile phone: “Xia Shengbo, I’ve got it done here, the number one suspect is also in this forest, hurry up and increase police force to search, everything is mainly about him!”

    Tuxi Ling’s struggle was terrifying, like a severely ill patient in a mental hospital, where was there any trace of a playboy young master?

    Even Ling Tuxi almost couldn’t hold him down, he had to use all his strength to press down on his body, he held down his arms with one hand each, turned his head and roared at Lan He: “Handcuff him!”

    Lan He helped to buckle the handcuffs on Tuxi Ling’s wrist, clutching his chest and gasping for breath, his fingertips were constantly trembling.

    Thanks to the two knives that Tuxi Ling gave him just now, this time he was really going to have an attack. He took out the lipstick-shaped inhalable medicine from his pocket, took two puffs, and after his nerves were relieved, he heard clearly what he was scolding in his mouth.

    “Lan He! You liar! You lied to me, you lied to me! You all lied to me!” Tuxi Ling stared at Ling Tuxi’s eyes with a cracked expression, “It’s mine, that necklace is mine! I bought it for Lan He abroad! What right do you have to wear it!”

    The origin of the pendant that was falsely claimed to be a toy was exposed on the spot, Lan He was quite speechless: “Tuxi Ling, didn’t I say I wanted to give it to a male friend? You’re just a porter, why are you going crazy?”

    Ling Tuxi came down from Tuxi Ling, and looked helplessly at the innocent Lan He: “Is it real?”

    Lan He laughed dryly: “Don’t listen to his nonsense, he’s sick, it’s just a souvenir.”

    Tuxi Ling forgot the pain in his hands, and kicked his legs straight on the ground in anger, kicking a shoe full of mud: “Bah! I’m blind! How could I treat you as my best brother!”

    Lan He rolled his eyes: “Are you in the middle class of kindergarten?”

    He was still in the mood to argue, Ling Tuxi sighed, took off the necklace and handed it to him: “Take it back!”

    Lan He tried to continue to fool: “Actually…”

    Ling Tuxi said: “Don’t quibble, too valuable things can’t be accepted, we have discipline.”

    Lan He: “.”

    He actually said he was quibbling?

    He unilaterally announced a breakup for five minutes in his heart.
