"Wuuuu...Brother, you're finally here!" Gu Qingzhi hugged the tree trunk tightly, her eyes full of tears and she looked pitifully at Gu Yan who was gradually approaching, crying with a feeling of grievance.

Gu Yan jumped to the top of the tree in a few leaps and bounds, and then without hesitation, he hugged Gu Qingzhi into his arms and comforted her softly, "Be good, don't be afraid, brother is here, and he won't let anyone hurt you again."

Listening to her brother's gentle words and feeling his warm and solid embrace, all the fear and anxiety in Gu Qingzhi's heart were finally completely released at this moment.

She hugged Gu Yan tightly like a child and burst into tears. Her tears were filled with the joy of surviving the disaster and her deep dependence on her brother.

"Wuwuwu...Brother..." Gu Qingzhi sobbed and intermittently recounted the hardships and tribulations she had experienced during this period.

Gu Yan hugged his sister tighter with heartache, patting her back gently, and soothing her softly, "Okay, okay, dear, don't cry. It's all my fault for not being able to find you in time and letting you suffer so much...

But it's okay now, my brother is here, no one can bully my dear again."

In this way, Gu Qingzhi cried in her brother's arms for a long time before her emotions gradually calmed down.

As time passed, she gradually came back to her senses from her sadness and crying. She suddenly realized that as an adult, she was crying like a child in her brother's arms. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, ever since she was reborn, she seldom let her emotions show so uncontrollably in front of outsiders, and her crying even wet her brother's clothes. Oh my, it was so embarrassing!

At this moment, she really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it, so she would never see anyone again.

Although she was filled with shyness and embarrassment, for some reason she was reluctant to leave her brother's warm and solid embrace.

The feeling of being protected and cared for is so good, as if as long as I stay here, all the fear and anxiety will disappear in an instant.

It calmed her anxious heart of the past few days.

So, she couldn't help but hug him tighter, wanting to enjoy this rare sense of security a little longer.

After a long while, Gu Qingzhi suddenly seemed to have thought of something important. Her body trembled violently, and then she looked up at her brother in panic and shouted, "Brother, it's bad! Xiaotao escaped with me, we have to go find her quickly!"

His voice was filled with anxiety and worry.

Hearing his sister's cry, Gu Yan quickly reached out and gently rubbed her head, and comforted her in an extremely gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, Qingqing, brother has already made arrangements. I brought people here, and I think they should have found Xiaotao by now."

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, not long after, Gu Yan saw a conspicuous flare rising in the distant sky - that was the logo from the Seven Star Tower.

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a reassured smile. He then hugged Gu Qingzhi tightly and used his lightness skills to rush towards the direction where the flare was launched.

When they arrived at their destination, they saw Xiao Tao standing there with tears on her face. When she saw that her wife was safe and sound, she immediately ran forward excitedly and circled around Gu Qingzhi, muttering non-stop: "Miss, you are finally back. You scared me to death! Wuuwuwu..."

The master and servant hugged each other and cried, tears pouring out of their eyes like a dam breaking.

Seeing that he had successfully picked up the person, Gu Yan made a prompt decision and ordered his men to notify the other two teams to withdraw and return first.

At this moment, Gu Qingzhi, who had just calmed down, seemed to suddenly remember something terrible. She hurriedly reached out and grabbed Gu Yan's sleeve, lowering her voice and saying:

"Brother, the people in this village are all bandits. Not only do they commit murder, arson and robbery, they also kidnap and sell people!

There are still many innocent people imprisoned in that dungeon!"

At the end of her words, her voice trembled slightly with anger and worry.

Then, Gu Qingzhi took a deep breath and briefly recounted the events that had happened to her after she lost contact as quickly as possible.

Among them, the mysterious and terrifying underground dark room was emphasized.

Gu Yan originally planned to let his sister calm down after returning to a safe place, and then ask her in detail about the specific circumstances after her disappearance when her condition was completely stable.

However, what he never expected was that his sister's heart was so strong. At this moment, she seemed to have gotten rid of the shadow and trouble brought by that terrible experience.

In fact, what Gu Qingzhi was thinking in her heart was far more than what she appeared to be calm on the surface.

In a quick glance in the dungeon, she clearly saw the figure of the eldest sister of the Luo family.

Even though it was just a fleeting moment, she was convinced that she would never make a mistake.

What's more, after her and Xiaotao's thrilling escape tonight, it is difficult to guarantee that those who imprisoned them will not become alert and secretly transfer the prisoners out in advance.

If this situation really happens, it will be a big trouble!

Not only will it be impossible to obtain strong evidence by then, but finding these missing people again will probably become more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Gu Yan was worried and checked the physical conditions of Gu Qingzhi and Xiaotao again. He found that apart from hunger caused by running all night and physical weakness caused by not eating properly recently, they did not suffer any other serious injuries.

So he hurriedly took out some dry food from his bag and gave it to the two men to fill their stomachs.

"Qingqing, please be patient for a while. Once we return to the city safely, I will ask Aunt Qin to prepare a sumptuous and delicious meal for you to reward you."

Gu Qingzhi nodded obediently: "Yes, brother, you should go and do your business. Dealing with the urgent matters at hand is the most important thing."

Seeing that she was in good condition, Gu Yan felt relieved.

Indeed, there are more important things at the moment.

The bandits' behavior can be said to be completely inhumane. The longer those people stay in their hands, the more danger they will be in.

In order to facilitate the movement, Gu Yan picked up Gu Qingzhi, and another team member carried Xiao Tao on his back.

Soon, the group of people rushed down the mountain at a rapid speed like a storm.

After Gu Yan carefully made arrangements for Gu Qingzhi and her servant, he quickly summoned Yaoguang and the others to discuss how to rescue those imprisoned in the dark cell.
