894 Don’t Be Afraid
A minute later, Qin Xi told Han Shi the exact location and said seriously, “Be quick. She doesn’t have much time left.”
As she spoke, she took out an Invisibility Talisman from her pocket. “Take this with you.”
“Alright!”
Han Shi took the Invisibility Talisman and rushed out. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared. Before Mu Wen’s a.s.sistant could react, he was gone.
Qin Xi glanced at the dumbfounded a.s.sistant and raised her chin. “Bring her back to the ward. I’ve already figured out everything.”
At this moment, three burly men in suits walked over. The leader looked at the a.s.sistant. “a.s.sistant Zhang, where is she?”
a.s.sistant Zhang was stunned. He looked at Qin Xi and then at the familiar burly man. The burly man clearly understood something. He looked at Qin Xi sharply and said coldly, “Who are you?”
Qin Xi clicked her tongue. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she explained her ident.i.ty.
On the other hand, Han Shi’s speed was almost comparable to a vehicle at 150 miles per hour. He almost turned into an invisible whirlwind that flew past the street, bringing with it a wave of dust.
Han Shi shortened the half-hour journey to less than ten minutes. In front of him was a building that was still under construction. With his sharp sense, he immediately found the girl’s location.
At this moment, a girl between the ages of seven and eight was hanging in the air by a rope. There was a cement bucket as tall as a grown-up under her feet, and there was a candle burning at the other end of the rope. After the rope was burned, the little girl would fall into the cement bucket and suffocate to death.
Moreover, in such hot weather, the cement would coagulate and prevent the smell of the corpse from wafting out. The person who set up this small trap was quite smart.
However, that person did not expect Han Shi to come at this moment.
The little girl’s mouth was taped shut, and her eyes were swollen from crying. Her face was pale and she did not dare to move. She probably knew that as long as the candle burned the rope, she would die. Moreover, the more she struggled, the faster she would die. In her mind, death meant that she would never be able to see her mother again.
Therefore, she could only cry silently. She was extremely afraid and kept praying that her mother would come and save her.
Time pa.s.sed second by second. Seeing that the rope was about to burn away, the little girl was extremely afraid. Finally, she panicked and started to struggle.
With this struggle, the rope broke with a snap. The little girl’s eyes were filled with fear as her body quickly fell.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew past. She subconsciously closed her eyes, and right on the heels of that, she felt herself falling into a warm and hard embrace. There was a pine fragrance entering her nose. Apart from her mother, this was the best fragrance she had ever smelled.
“How are you? Are you injured?” Han Shi asked worriedly when he saw that the little girl’s eyes were closed and her face was as pale as paper.
The girl’s long eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were red and wet as she looked at Han Shi in shock.
Then, like a frightened rabbit, she quickly hid her head in the crook of Han Shi’s arm. Then, she stole a glance at Han Shi.
Han Shi’s heart softened. “Don’t be afraid. You’re fine now. Your mother is still waiting for you. Come with me!”
