The Secret of the Yoga Club: The Women's Identity is Not Simple

Chapter 117 Uncovering the Other Party's Plot

Lin Feng put one arm around Ye Qinghan's arm and placed it on his shoulder, while his other arm encircled her waist, letting her lean her weight on him.

Ye Qinghan's left foot couldn't touch the ground at all, so she could only hop on one foot. With each hop, her body swayed, and her chest swayed in her gray tight-fitting vest.

Because of her twisted ankle, Ye Qinghan walked slowly, and almost half of her body was leaning on Lin Feng.

Her arm was draped over Lin Feng's neck, her body pressed tightly against his side. Beneath her dark gray vest, her full breasts pressed against the outside of his arm, and through the two thin layers of fabric, the heavy, soft touch was clearly felt.

Each time she hopped on one foot, her chest would brush against Lin Feng's arm, bounce, and brush again.

Lin Feng's ears turned red again. He tried his best to keep his eyes fixed straight ahead, but he couldn't avoid the sensation on his arm.

Ye Qinghan also felt her chest pressing against Lin Feng's arm, but she had no other choice; she needed Lin Feng to walk.

She told herself it was nothing, but a faint blush still rose on her face.

It was noted that Shen Yu had gestured for her to lend a hand so that another teammate could help her, but she waved her hand and said no.

She herself couldn't explain why she refused the help. Perhaps it was because Lin Feng's support made her feel more at ease, or perhaps it was because the day they spent together had given her a trust in him that no one else could replace.

After walking for a while, the dew had soaked everyone's clothes. Ye Qinghan's gray vest clung to her body, outlining the contours of her chest and waist.

She noticed that the group was moving very slowly, but Shen Yu didn't seem to be in a hurry. She just walked ahead and occasionally looked back to make sure they were keeping up.

As she walked, Ye Qinghan's brows began to furrow slightly; she noticed something was amiss.

Although she had been trapped in the cave for the past two days, she was very familiar with the police search procedures.

Once a legitimate search and rescue team locates a target, the first thing it should do is report the location to command via walkie-talkie or satellite phone—the location of the target, its status, and its exact coordinates—so that command can mobilize medical resources and other reinforcements.

However, Shen Yu has not used a walkie-talkie since entering the cave. He has a walkie-talkie clipped to his waist and has never taken it off.

Moreover, the two team members behind him never spoke to him. All the search and rescue operations were given by Shen Yu alone, while the two of them just walked in silence.

From the moment they met until now, the other party has acted flawlessly, but her intuition tells her that there's something wrong with these three people.

However... nothing has been found yet!

Ye Qinghan brought her lips close to Lin Feng's ear, her voice so low that only Lin Feng could hear it. "Lin Feng, these three people might be suspicious. They didn't have pagers, and they didn't report to anyone after finding us."

Lin Feng paused almost imperceptibly.

She glanced at Ye Qinghan, her expression still calm, but her eyes had completely changed, displaying the alertness and coldness only seen when investigating cases.

Lin Feng understood, showing no sign of anything amiss, and continued to help Ye Qinghan walk forward, but his eyes had already begun to observe the surrounding terrain.

After walking a short distance, Ye Qinghan suddenly stopped in front of a pile of rocks and said that he really couldn't walk anymore and wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

Shen Yu and the other two men plopped down on a rock, stopping in their tracks. Ye Qinghan wiped the sweat from his brow and casually asked, "Captain Shen, you're from the Qingyuan City Public Security Bureau, right? How many people were involved in this search and rescue operation?"

Shen Yu said that not only the Qingyuan Municipal Bureau, but also all the police stations and armed police in Lan County were mobilized. He didn't know the exact number, as the various teams were scattered in different areas.

Ye Qinghan then asked if she could borrow his phone to let the Municipal Public Security Bureau know she was safe, so they wouldn't worry.

Shen Yu immediately said that the search and rescue operation required strict confidentiality, and all the people's mobile phones had been confiscated to prevent the disclosure of Director Ye's location.

Ye Qinghan nodded without saying anything, but her doubts deepened. This statement was completely against the rules. She had been a police officer for so many years and had conducted countless search and rescue operations. There was never a rule to confiscate the cell phones of search and rescue personnel.

After resting for a few minutes, they continued on their way. The sky grew darker and darker, thunder rumbled overhead, and lightning cleaved the sky in two.

After walking for about ten more minutes, the road became even more treacherous than before. The stream had submerged part of the mountain path, and they could only move step by step along the mountain wall.

On the narrowest stretch of road, a massive bolt of lightning cleaved the sky, followed by a deafening roar that shook the mountainside.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity, gave Ye Qinghan a look, and then suddenly exerted his strength, wrapping one arm tightly around Ye Qinghan's waist and grabbing the bushes beside them for leverage. The two of them rushed forward for more than ten meters and turned behind a large rock.

The thunder drowned out their footsteps and the sound of bushes being parted. Lin Feng crouched down and lowered his voice, saying they had to go downstream along the stream, where the woods were denser, and find a place to take shelter until the rain stopped.

Ye Qinghan nodded, and the two of them crouched low and moved quickly through the rocks and bushes, using the rain and thunder as their best cover.

But her left foot was really bad; she hadn't walked far before she had to squat down in pain, her forehead covered in sweat and rain, gritting her teeth and refusing to make a sound.

Lin Feng turned back and helped her up again to continue walking. Just as they were about to reach another huge rock wall, they heard hurried footsteps behind them.

Shen Yu caught up with them, holding a powerful flashlight that shone directly on their backs.

Then came the sound of two more people's footsteps, flanking us from the side.

The three men formed a triangular formation, blocking them on the riverbank. Shen Yu's face appeared uncertain in the flashlight beam. Upon seeing Ye Qinghan, she smirked, "Director Ye, why are you running? We're here to rescue you."

Ye Qinghan turned to face him, her hair plastered to her face by the rain, but her back was ramrod straight. "Who are you? Where do you want to take me?"

Shen Yu remained silent.

His expression slowly changed, no longer displaying the composure of a seasoned policeman, but rather an indifference that came from simply dropping the pretense after being exposed.

"I didn't expect you to see through this," Shen Yu said, throwing the megaphone at her feet. "Since Director Ye is being so cooperative, we don't need to act anymore."

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Ye Qinghan pressed.

"I have no choice. If you don't die, I will." Shen Yu's face hardened, then she looked at the other two. "For the sake of your families, let's fight together!"

Lin Feng shielded Ye Qinghan behind him.

The three men began to approach them. Lin Feng protected Ye Qinghan and began to retreat. They saw a thick, withered tree floating down the river. It must have been a tree on the upstream bank that was washed away by yesterday's heavy rain.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Ye Qinghan's hand and jumped into the rushing stream the instant she approached.

The icy stream instantly enveloped the two of them. Lin Feng grabbed Ye Qinghan's arm tightly with one hand to prevent the current from sweeping her away, and with the other hand he grabbed the drifting dead tree trunk.

The tree trunk was thick enough to support the weight of two people, allowing it to float downstream with the current.

Seeing this, Shen Yu cursed something and then jumped into the water to chase after them.

The current was too strong, and the dead tree trunk spun around in the water several times before finally being washed to a shallow spot and stuck in a crevice between the rocks.

Lin Feng stepped onto the gravelly riverbed. He first pushed Ye Qinghan ashore and told her to stay put. Then he turned around to face the three people who were chasing after him.

Shen Yu stood up from the water, and the three men surrounded Lin Feng. Shen Yu drew a baton from his waist, while the other two men, one unarmed and the other holding a short knife,...

Lin Feng had practiced Sanda and boxing for a period of time, and with the flexibility he gained from years of yoga practice, he dodged and countered among the three people, successfully avoiding the continuous blows of the baton, and kicked one of them in the knee, causing him to kneel down into the water.

Shen Yu lunged at him from the side, his short knife aimed straight for his ribs. Lin Feng dodged to the side, the tip of the knife grazing his ribs, tearing his T-shirt and drawing blood.

Just then.

The sound of hurried footsteps and the beams of flashlights flickering through the trees came from the hillside.

Someone was calling for Director Ye. A man's anxious voice pierced through the rain—"Director Ye! We're from the Hehai City Public Security Bureau! Can you hear us?!"

They are from the Hehai Municipal Bureau.

Ye Qinghan heard it too.

Leaning against a tree trunk on the shore, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Here! On the shore!"

The other two ran directly downstream. Shen Yu cursed a few times and was about to pounce on Lin Feng when he turned around, grabbed his short knife, and charged towards Ye Qinghan.

Ye Qinghan saw him rushing towards her, gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but her left leg was completely powerless. Shen Yu raised his knife, the tip gleaming coldly in the white flash of lightning, aimed directly at her chest.

Lin Feng leaped out of the water and rushed forward to block Ye Qinghan.

He grabbed Ye Qinghan's shoulder and forcefully pushed her to the side away from the blade. Ye Qinghan fell to the ground sideways from the push.

At the same time, the short knife stabbed down. Before Lin Feng could fully turn to the side, the tip of the knife pierced directly into the upper left side of his chest.

Lin Feng's body jolted violently, and he staggered a step. Blood gushed from his wound, instantly staining a large area of ​​his T-shirt red.

She glanced down at her chest, then looked up at Ye Qinghan, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything in time.

Then, using the last of his strength, he grabbed Shen Yu and they both fell into the rushing stream.

Ye Qinghan collapsed on the muddy bank, watching Lin Feng's blood bloom on the water's surface before being washed away by the current.

Her face floated on the water's surface for a moment before disappearing from sight, as she and Shen Yu were swept downstream into the darkness by the current.

Ye Qinghan struggled to get into the river, but the search and rescue team arrived and pulled her back. Several quick-thinking people jumped into the water to search for her.

At this moment, Ye Qinghan could no longer distinguish whether the water on her face was tears or rain.
