Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

Chapter 335 Rescue

Lin Tian put the axe away. Several hairdressers lay dead at the door, all killed by a single blow.

He made sure there were no survivors before heading into the inner room.

The door was locked. He placed his hand on the lock and pushed it gently, and the lock cylinder broke.

The door opened.

Bai Jin and Zhang Shiyu were tied to chairs, their eyes were blindfolded, and their mouths were gagged.

Upon hearing the door open, the two of them struggled to get up.

The chair creaked and groaned.

Lin Tian walked over, first untied Bai Jin's rope, then Zhang Shiyu's. He moved quickly, and before they could react, he had already disappeared into the shadows.

Bai Jin ripped off the blindfold, squinting as the light stung her eyes. She saw that the room was empty except for Zhang Shiyu, who was also pulling at the blindfold.

The door was open, but there wasn't a soul in the hallway.

"Thank you so much for saving my life..."

Before she could finish speaking, she froze.

nobody.

Where is our benefactor?

The corridor was empty, and the rooms were empty too.

Zhang Shiyu tore off the strip of cloth, panting heavily: "Aunt, what did you just say?"

Bai Jin frowned, walked to the door and looked outside, but saw nothing.

"It's nothing."

Bai Jin turned around and walked back to untie the ropes binding Zhang Shiyu's feet. "Let's leave here first. The thugs might have accomplices."

Zhang Shiyu nodded, too nervous to speak.

The two of them helped each other out of the room.

As she walked down the corridor, Bai Jin paused—there was a long trail of blood on the ground that stretched all the way to the outer hall.

Her heart suddenly raced, but she forced herself to remain calm and pulled Zhang Shiyu to continue walking forward.

The lights in the hall were on, and the first thing you saw upon entering was a glaring corpse. Sang Bo lay in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open.

The proprietress was curled up in the corner of the sofa, while several hairdressers lay dead at the door, their deaths gruesome.

Blood was splattered everywhere—on the walls, the floor, the sofa, and even the ceiling.

Bai Jin felt a churning in her stomach and covered her mouth, dry heaving a few times.

Zhang Shiyu was so upset that she squatted down and vomited.

The two women had only been held captive by the kidnappers for about two hours. They didn't know what was happening outside, or who had killed these people. All they knew was that someone had rescued them—a person who appeared and disappeared without a trace.

"Auntie, let's go quickly."

Zhang Shiyu stood up and pulled Bai Jin outside.

Bai Jin nodded, and the two of them staggered out of the store.

On the street outside.

Several police cars stopped, and JoJo got out of one of them. When she saw Bai Jin, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mommy!"

She rushed over and hugged Bai Jin tightly. "Mommy, are you alright? Did they hurt you? You scared me to death, boo-hoo—"

Bai Jin hugged her, patted her back, and her eyes reddened as well: "It's okay, Mom's okay, don't cry, don't cry. By the way, what brings you all here?"

"Mommy, it was Xiaotian who found out your whereabouts through a friend."

Lin Tian stood not far behind JoJo, watching them with a slight smile on his lips.

Bai Jin looked at him and paused for a moment.

There was a strange feeling that he was the one who saved them.

So, he tentatively asked, "Xiao Tian, thank you?!"

"JoJo and I came to pick you up."

Lin Tian walked over, looked up at Bai Jin, and without answering directly, asked, "Auntie, are you alright?"

Bai Jin shook her head, bent down and patted his head: "It's okay, Auntie is okay."

She looked around again. "How did you know we were here? Who called the police?"

JoJo wiped away her tears: "It was Xiao Tian. He made a phone call, found out where you were, and then brought me here. He was the one who told me to call the police."

Bai Jin looked at Lin Tian with a complicated expression.

How could a child who is only eight years old find out their whereabouts so quickly?

What friend?

The housekeeper said that some people from outside the community had come looking for Lin Tian. It seems we need to investigate who they are when we get back.

The ropes were suddenly untied, revealing the murdered kidnappers in the hall. A thought popped into her head, but she quickly suppressed it.

Impossible, this child is only eight years old, how could that be?

Zhang Shiyu stood behind Bai Jin, her head down, not daring to look at Lin Tian.

From the moment she was rescued in the hair salon, she knew it was Lin Tianqian. Otherwise, why wouldn't the system dare to say a word?

Although her eyes were covered and she couldn't see, she could feel the cool breeze and the feeling of being watched.

It was exactly the same as when Lin Tian first entered the villa.

It's him, it must be him.

The system will only pretend to be mute when he is present.

But why did Lin Tian save him?

Could it be because of her cousin's influence?

Zhang Shiyu couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

I didn't ask, I just lowered my head and pretended I didn't exist.

Lin Tian didn't look at her, but said to Bai Jin, "Auntie, let's go back first, and leave this to the police."

Bai Jin nodded and took JoJo's hand as they walked toward the police car.

A policeman approached and said, "Ms. Bai, please come with us to the police station to make a statement."

"it is good."

Bai Jin followed the police.

JoJo stayed by her side, Zhang Shiyu followed behind, and Lin Tian walked at the very back.

The police car drove away quickly.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and some people began to discuss the matter.

"Have you heard? All the kidnappers have been killed; not a single one was left alive."

"Who did it?"

"I don't know, he's an expert."

"Could it be someone from one of those gangs?"

"It's possible. This hair salon is their territory. The kidnappers broke the rules by kidnapping here, so they're cleaning up their own territory."

Various speculations circulated among the crowd, but no one knew the truth.

In the police station, Bai Jin sat in the interrogation room, while the policeman opposite her scribbled in his notebook.

JoJo sat next to her and held her hand.

Lin Tian sat on a bench in the corridor, flipping through a comic book in his hand. His expression was calm, and he didn't look like he had just killed someone.

Sitting across from him, Zhang Shiyu's heart raced, and she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild: How did he manage to be so calm after killing someone?

She wanted to get away from Lin Tian, but her butt felt glued to the chair and she couldn't move.

Are you afraid of me?

Lin Tian suddenly spoke, his eyes never leaving the comic book.

Zhang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, "I...I didn't."

Lin Tian closed the comic book, turned to look at her, and his eyes were calm and gentle, yet they made her feel uneasy.

"Thank you."

Zhang Shiyu didn't know why she suddenly blurted out those words; her mind went blank, but she regretted it as soon as she said them.

Lin Tian stared at her.

Zhang Shiyu's heart jumped into her throat, and she thought frantically: Could they have discovered something?

No!

I don't want to die.

Lin Tian suddenly laughed and said, "You're welcome."
