Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?
Chapter 238: The Edge of the Abyss
Chu Mengmeng's heart was beating fast. She was like a frightened bird, groping forward in the dark. The night wind blew through the corridor, making a humming sound, as if it was playing a prelude to her upcoming adventure. She didn't know how long she had walked, and finally came to a window. With the faint moonlight, she saw a tall tree outside the window, with branches stretching to the window, as if within reach.
"This is it!" Chu Mengmeng was delighted. She stuffed the note with the child's whereabouts into a hollow pendant and threw it out of the window. She prayed that someone would find this information and send it to Xiao Yichen.
However, just as she turned around and prepared to leave, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her: "What are you doing?"
Chu Mengmeng froze for a moment. She slowly turned around and saw a tall figure standing at the door. The moonlight outlined his stern silhouette.
"I... I just want to get some fresh air..." Chu Mengmeng tried to remain calm, but her voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Breathe?" The man sneered, "Do you think I will believe it?"
Chu Mengmeng's heart sank, she knew she was exposed.
At the same time, Xiao Yichen was waiting anxiously in Lin Wanru's office. He knew that Lin Wanru had a close relationship with the enemy, and perhaps he could find out some information about the child through her.
"Wanru, I know you must have a way. Please, help me..." Xiao Yichen's voice was filled with a hint of pleading.
Lin Wanru turned her back to him, looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window, silent. After a long while, she slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Yichen with complicated eyes.
"Do you really want to know the whereabouts of the child?" Her voice was low and hoarse.
Xiao Yichen nodded without hesitation, his eyes full of hope.
Lin Wanru walked up to him, reached out and stroked his cheek, her eyes full of sadness and helplessness.
"You know what? The more you do this, the more I hate myself..." Her voice became lower and lower, and finally turned into a sigh, "I hate myself, why can't I love you like you love her..."
Xiao Yichen was stunned. He understood everything from Lin Wanru's eyes. It turned out that she had always loved him deeply...
Just then, Lin Wanru's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and her face suddenly turned pale.
"What did you say? She...she was discovered?!" Lin Wanru's voice trembled. After hanging up the phone, she fell weakly on the sofa, her eyes empty and desperate.
Xiao Yichen's heart sank suddenly. He knew that Chu Mengmeng and the children were in unprecedented danger.
"Tell me, where are they?" He grabbed Lin Wanru's shoulders and asked anxiously.
Lin Wanru raised her head, her eyes full of struggle, and finally, she slowly spit out an address.
Xiao Yichen didn't say anything else. He turned and rushed out of the office. He knew that he had to get there as soon as possible, otherwise, everything would be too late...
At this time, in an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yao were groping in the dark.
"Brother, I'm so scared..." Xiao Yao held Xiao Xiao's hand tightly, her voice trembling.
"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, brother will protect you." Xiao Xiao comforted his sister, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Suddenly, Xiao Xiao's foot kicked something hard. He bent down, fumbled around, and found that it was a metal box.
"What is this?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.
Xiao Xiao did not answer. He opened the box and found a strange-shaped device inside. He fiddled with it curiously. Suddenly, a red light flashed on the device, and then a shrill alarm sounded throughout the warehouse... The shrill alarm sounded through the night sky and echoed in the empty warehouse, like a death knell of danger. Xiao Xiao was so scared that he let go of his hand, and the metal box fell to the ground with a dull sound. The flashing red light illuminated the frightened faces of the two children.
"What should I do? Brother..." Xiao Yao's voice was tearful. She clutched the corner of Xiao Xiao's clothes tightly, and her small body was trembling.
Although Xiao Xiao was also afraid, he still tried to keep himself calm. He took Xiao Yao's hand and hid behind a pile of debris in the corner of the warehouse, holding his breath and listening to the chaotic footsteps coming from far away.
"Someone broke in!"
"Go and have a look!"
The door of the warehouse was pushed open, and several flashlight beams flickered in the darkness, like the eyes of a wild animal searching for prey. Xiao Xiao tightly covered Xiao Yao's mouth to prevent her from making any sound.
Meanwhile, in another closed room, Chu Mengmeng was in deep despair. She was imprisoned in a small room with only a tiny window letting in weak light. The room was empty except for a cold iron bed and a shaky table.
Chu Mengmeng knew that she could only rely on herself now. She looked around and her eyes fell on a worn cloth bag on the table. She walked over and opened the bag, and found some dry food and seasonings inside.
"It seems that my cooking skills will come in handy again." Chu Mengmeng said to herself with a wry smile on her lips.
She ground the dry food into powder, mixed it with water and seasoning, and kneaded it into small cakes. Then, she placed the cakes by the window to dry, waiting for the opportunity to come.
As the night deepened, the footsteps of the guards came closer and closer. Chu Mengmeng's heartbeat quickened, and she knew that success or failure depended on this one move.
"Open the door!" A rough voice sounded outside the door.
Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, picked up a plate of cakes with an enticing aroma, and opened the door.
"What is this?" the guard asked in a rough voice, looking at her warily.
"This is a snack I specially made, please try it." Chu Mengmeng pretended to be calm and handed over the plate in her hand.
The guard hesitated for a moment as the aroma filled his nose, but he finally took the plate. He picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. He praised the melt-in-the-mouth texture and the unique aroma.
"Delicious! Give me another piece!" The guard relaxed his guard and asked Chu Mengmeng for more.
Chu Mengmeng was secretly delighted. She pretended to turn around to get the cake, but took the opportunity to sprinkle the sleeping pills she had prepared in advance into the guard's cup.
"Please enjoy your meal." Chu Mengmeng handed the cup to the guard with a barely perceptible sneer on her face.
The guard took the cup and drank the liquid in it. Soon, his vision began to blur and his body began to shake.
"You...what did you do?" The guard pointed at Chu Mengmeng, his voice intermittent.
Chu Mengmeng did not answer. She quickly searched the guard's body for the key, opened the door, and disappeared into the night.
At this moment, Xiao Yichen was driving on the road to a warehouse in the suburbs. His mobile phone fell on the passenger seat. A short but frightening text message appeared on the screen: "Mengmeng is in danger, come quickly!"
Xiao Yichen stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the car rushed into the dark night like an arrow. He knew that a life-and-death rescue was about to begin...
Xiao Yichen's car was like a ghost in the night, speeding on the rugged road. The veins on his hands holding the steering wheel were bulging, and the words "Meng Meng is in danger, come quickly!" on the phone screen were engraved in his mind like a brand. He knew that it was the enemy's lair and there were dangers everywhere, but he couldn't retreat, Meng Meng and the children were still waiting for him.
Outside the warehouse, Li Yunfei and his men had already engaged the enemy, and the sound of gunfire and explosions was particularly harsh in the silent night. Xiao Yichen did a beautiful tailspin, parked the car in a hidden place, crouched down, and sneaked into the warehouse under the cover of night.
Inside the warehouse, Chu Mengmeng had successfully escaped the guards' control, but was soon surrounded by the enemies who rushed in after hearing the news. She leaned against the cold wall, holding a fruit knife tightly in her hand, and watched the approaching enemies vigilantly.
"Miss Chu, stop resisting and just come with us." The leading man had a cruel smile on his face.
Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She knew that at this moment, any panic and fear would be fatal. She looked around, looking for any opportunity to take advantage of.
At this moment, the door of the warehouse was kicked open, and Xiao Yichen appeared at the door, like a god descending from heaven. He held a pistol in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and he exuded a cold murderous aura.
"Whoever dares to touch her will die!"
Xiao Yichen's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty. The enemy obviously did not expect someone to suddenly appear, and was stunned for a moment.
"Yi Chen!" Chu Mengmeng's heart finally settled down when she saw Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen rushed to Chu Mengmeng and protected her behind him. The two stood back to back, facing the enemy.
"Kill him!" The leading man gave an order, gunshots rang out again, and the warehouse suddenly fell into chaos.
Xiao Yichen relied on his extraordinary skills and accurate marksmanship to fight the enemy, but the enemy was outnumbered and he gradually felt overwhelmed.
At this moment, Xiao Yichen's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the hospital. He hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
"Mr. Xiao, your father's condition has suddenly worsened and he needs surgery immediately. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible!" The doctor's voice on the other end of the phone was extremely anxious.
Xiao Yichen suddenly felt as if struck by lightning. His father's illness and Mengmeng's safety, two equally important things were placed in front of him at the same time, making it difficult for him to make a decision.
"Yichen, what's wrong with you?" Chu Mengmeng noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Yichen and asked anxiously.
Xiao Yichen took a deep breath and looked at Chu Mengmeng's worried eyes. He knew he had to make a choice.
"Take care of yourself." Xiao Yichen pushed Chu Mengmeng to Li Yunfei's side, turned around resolutely, and rushed into the hail of bullets...
Outside the warehouse, Li Yunfei's offensive encountered strong resistance and he was unable to break through the enemy's defense line. He looked at the message from Xiao Yichen on his phone with a frown.
"It seems that we can only..." he muttered to himself, with a flash of determination in his eyes. Outside the warehouse, gunfire intertwined, pouring down like a storm. Li Yunfei led his men to resist the enemy's fierce attack. However, the enemy was well prepared, with fierce firepower and well-trained, and Li Yunfei's team could not move forward.
"Damn it!" Li Yunfei cursed as the bullet grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark. "Who are these guys?" He wondered, but he had no time to think about it. He could only bite the bullet and continue to command the battle.
In the warehouse, Chu Mengmeng, under the cover of Li Yunfei, tried her best to escape. However, the terrain in the warehouse was complicated, and there were mountains of goods everywhere. Chu Mengmeng was panicked and soon lost her way.
"Mengmeng, over here!" Li Yunfei's voice came from a distance. Chu Mengmeng was delighted and ran in the direction of the voice.
However, just as she was about to rush out of the warehouse door, she suddenly felt a sharp pain under her feet. Chu Mengmeng looked down and saw that she had stepped on a trap, and the sharp steel teeth pierced deeply into her ankle, and blood instantly dyed the ground red.
"Ah!" Chu Mengmeng fell to the ground in pain, cold sweat instantly soaking her clothes. She struggled to pull out the trap, but found that it was firmly locked around her ankle and could not be shaken at all.
"Hahaha, Miss Chu, you can't run away!" A cold laugh came from behind. Chu Mengmeng turned around with difficulty, only to see a tall man with a shining dagger in his hand approaching her step by step.
"What...what do you want to do?" Chu Mengmeng asked in horror, enduring the pain.
"What? To send you to hell, of course!" The man grinned, with a cruel light flashing in his eyes.
"No!" Chu Mengmeng closed her eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.
……
"Bang!" A gunshot broke the silence in the warehouse. Chu Mengmeng opened her eyes in horror, only to find that she was unharmed, while the man fell in a pool of blood.
"Are you okay?" A deep and magnetic voice sounded in her ears. Chu Mengmeng looked up and saw a strange man standing in front of her with a smoking pistol in his hand.
The man was tall, with deep features and a pair of sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. He was wearing a black windbreaker, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.
"Who... are you?" Chu Mengmeng asked vigilantly.
The man did not answer her question, but squatted down and looked at her with a complicated look: "Are you Chu Mengmeng?"
"Who are you?" Chu Mengmeng asked again, her heart full of confusion and anxiety.
The man smiled slightly, with a hint of bitterness in his smile: “I’m here to help you.”
He reached out and gently stroked Chu Mengmeng's cheek: "You are more beautiful than I imagined..."
