Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

The group panicked instantly. They abandoned their search and, relying on their years of experience navigating the mountains, frantically scrambled into the dense bushes on the side and fled down the only hidden path at the foot of the mountain, hoping to escape using the complex terrain.

But they never dreamed that the police had deployed a full force, combining air and ground forces. All the exits and mountain passes at the foot of the mountain had already been blocked by special police, creating a tight net that left them with no way to escape.

Even more fatally, Shen Jingshu had already reviewed the live broadcast and deduced their escape route from their facial expressions. She then called Li Hanting in advance and accurately reported their escape route, allowing the police to set up ambushes on the only way down the mountain, waiting for them to walk right into the trap.

During his escape, Liu Qihang's heart sank to the bottom, overwhelmed by a mixture of panic and a sense of relief. He knew that if he were caught, all his crimes over the years, including his involvement in the trafficking of five lives and his deception of Ma Die, would be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted, and he would definitely face imprisonment.

But he still harbored a sliver of despicable wishful thinking—as long as there was no substantial evidence, he could deny everything and claim ignorance or that he had been deceived.

In a flash, he suddenly remembered his personal cell phone that he had left at the mountain camp.

That phone contained all the irrefutable evidence of his chat logs, transaction communications, and deception plans with the criminal gang.

As long as he destroys his phone and erases all records, the police will be powerless against him!

At this thought, Liu Qihang went completely mad. Ignoring the direction his accomplices were fleeing, he suddenly turned back and ran frantically towards the camp they had come from, determined to destroy the evidence and erase all traces before the police arrived.

At the same time, Ma Die, hiding in the tree's protective barrier, clearly heard the deafening roar of the helicopter overhead. The ecstasy of escaping her desperate situation instantly dispelled all her fear. She immediately turned on her phone's flashlight, held it high above her head, and waved it vigorously into the night sky.

In the pitch-black night of the deep mountains, a bright light flickers repeatedly, like the only star in the dark night, particularly eye-catching.

The search and rescue helicopter crew, hovering high in the sky, immediately spotted the light source and pinpointed her location. The helicopter slowly descended, hovering steadily in a clearing in the forest, and then lowered a sturdy rescue ladder and safety ropes.

Fully armed special police officers quickly descended the rope, their movements swift and decisive. They rushed to Ma Die's side immediately and carefully checked her physical condition.

After confirming that she was only excessively frightened and exhausted, with no obvious external injuries and no personal safety issues, the team members immediately took out a satellite phone to report the situation on the scene to their superiors in real time, and simultaneously reported the latest developments in the successful rescue of the victim and the suspect's escape.

The live stream witnessed the entire swift rescue, with the screen filled with excited comments.

[A tight net has been cast! There's no escape! This scumbag is completely finished!]

[The mastermind anticipated the escape route and laid an ambush; this was a devastating blow!]

[They're finally rescued! Thank goodness the young lady is safe and sound!]

After confirming that Ma Die was unharmed, the special police quickly escorted her to a relatively safe open area, put a warm coat on her, and gently comforted her.

After hours of desperate fleeing and extreme terror, Ma Die's legs were already weak and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably. It wasn't until she saw the police officers in uniform that her pent-up fear completely collapsed, her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

Everyone in the live stream felt a mix of bittersweet emotions and immense relief as they watched this scene.

[Finally safe! That's great!]

[I'm so grateful to the master for saving my life!]

The villains are about to be caught! It's gratifying!

On the other side, Liu Qihang, who had turned back and was running wildly, had already revealed his madness.

He rushed back to the makeshift camp without hesitation, his eyes fixed on the phone he had left behind in the bushes, his heart pounding. If he could delete the chat history and destroy the evidence, he would still have room to argue and a chance to clear his name and escape punishment.

He grabbed the phone, his fingers trembling as he tried to unlock the screen.

The instant their fingertips touched the screen, two blinding beams of flashlight suddenly shone from both sides of the bushes, and a cold, stern voice boomed: "Don't move! Police! Crouch down!"

The camp was already surrounded by special police, their black gun barrels all pointed at him.

It turned out that Shen Jingshu had already figured out his intentions.

She saw through Liu Qihang's cunning and opportunistic nature, knowing he would do anything to return and destroy evidence, so she informed Li Hanting in advance: leave someone to ambush him at the camp and wait for him to make his move.

Liu Qihang froze, and his phone fell to the ground with a "thud".

His face was ashen, his body was drenched in cold sweat, and the last glimmer of hope in his eyes shattered completely.

Unwilling to accept defeat, he frantically reached out to stomp on the phone, attempting to destroy the data.

The special police reacted extremely quickly, instantly grabbing his arms and forcing him to kneel on the ground with his hands behind his back. The cold handcuffs clicked as they locked his wrists.

"Don't move! The evidence has been preserved!"

Meanwhile, the three scarred men who were fleeing down the mountain also ran into the police's pre-arranged encirclement.

The mountain road exits and dense forest forks were all blocked off, and special police officers with flashing lights were on high alert in all directions.

The three men ran for their lives for a long time, but finally realized there was no way to escape and had no choice but to surrender. Within minutes, all four suspects were apprehended on the spot.

Footage of the arrest was simultaneously transmitted back to the command center, and Li Hanting quickly reported the situation to Shen Jingshu.

The live stream room erupted in excitement, with the chat flooded with comments.

[All members apprehended! Not a single one escaped!]

[The master's prediction was absolutely brilliant! He even foresaw that he would go back to destroy the evidence!]

[A net of heaven and earth, divine retribution, accurate and without fail!]

Liu Qihang, pinned to the ground, was now in a sorry state, covered in mud, and no longer resembled the refined and sunny college student he usually was.

The cold handcuffs locked his hands, and the stern interrogation calls from the police filled his ears. He finally regained full consciousness—

Not only will he fail to catch Ma Die tonight, but all his crimes, which he has concealed for many years, will also be completely exposed.

Police collected evidence on the spot and sealed his lost phone completely.

The moment the screen is turned on, all the dirty transactions, fraud records, trafficking accounts, chat logs, and victim information are clearly displayed before everyone's eyes.

The transaction records, pricing screenshots, gang instructions, and deception schemes of the five victimized girls provide irrefutable and irrefutable evidence.

The interrogating police officer, with a stern expression, checked the evidence point by point: "Liu Qihang is suspected of participating in, assisting, and luring multiple young women into trafficking. The number of people involved is large, the circumstances are heinous, and the crimes have been committed multiple times. You have now been caught red-handed, and there is no way you can deny any of your crimes."

Liu Qihang hung his head, trembling all over, his face ashen, completely devoid of any strength to struggle.

Meanwhile, Ma Die, after being rescued, sat in the rescue helicopter, watching the dark mountains recede into the distance outside the window, and let out a long sigh of relief.

This sham love affair, this harrowing ordeal in the remote mountains, has finally come to a complete end.

She bowed deeply to the phone camera, tears welling in her eyes: "Thank you, Master Shen... thank you to all the viewers in the live stream. You gave me a second life."
