The Divine Doctor Captures a Beauty [Complete] - 36

Chapter 786 Danger on the Ski Slope

The Phoenix Mountain Ski Resort was bustling with people, both beginners and experienced skiers. The atmosphere was lively, filled with shouts, laughter, chasing, and flying snowflakes. It was inevitable that the beginners would fall a few times, but they remained enthusiastic.

Under Fan Qixuan's guidance, Lin Yupeng could ski on flat ground, but on a downhill alpine slope, he would definitely fall.

Fan Qianqian had already skated several laps when she saw Lin Yupeng still practicing on flat ground. A mischievous smile crept across her pretty face as she quickly skated over to him, giggling, "How can you be so clumsy? Look, I can already do slalom and giant slalom!"

Lin Yupeng smiled wryly, "I'm a beginner, aren't I? I can't compare to an expert like you!"

Fan Qianqian smiled slyly and said sweetly, "Brother Lin, how about I teach you?"

It was the first time she had called Lin Yupeng "Brother Lin," and it made him feel a little awkward. His gaze fell on her youthful and beautiful face, and he caught a glimpse of the mischievous teasing in her clear, spring-like eyes. His heart skipped a beat. Thinking to himself, "This girl is so clever, is she trying to embarrass me by pretending to ski?"

Fan Qixuan didn't see through his sister's thoughts. Seeing that she was willing to take Lin Yupeng skiing, he laughed heartily, "Little sister, then you take Brother Lin to ski on the beginner slope. There are long, gentle slopes there, which are easier to ski on. I'll go play on the cross-country skiing slope over there!" After saying that, he didn't forget to remind Fan Qianqian, "Little sister, this is Brother Lin's first time skiing, so don't ski too fast!"

Fan Qianqian blinked her small eyes, which were as bright as cold stars, and giggled, "Second brother, don't worry! Brother Lin is so smart, he'll learn it in no time, right?" As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng could only chuckle awkwardly and reply, "Yeah! I don't think it's difficult!"

But inwardly he muttered, "This girl might be up to something; I'd better be careful!"

Fan Qixuan, oblivious to the problem, smiled and nodded before heading off to the cross-country ski slope. He'd actually been itching to try it himself, but he'd been busy teaching Lin Yupeng and hadn't had his fill of skiing yet!

Lin Yupeng followed Fan Qianqian to the beginner slope, the most crowded and lively spot. The artificial snow wasn't much different from natural snow, except it lacked the soft feel of natural snow and was hard underfoot.

"Brother Lin, stay behind me! Keep your balance; if you can't, just fall!" Fan Qianqian patiently explained to Lin Yupeng how to "prevent a fall," though she wanted to embarrass him, she didn't want him to get hurt.

The two started skiing on the beginner slope. Lin Yupeng had good balance, but his speed was lacking because there were just too many skiers, and he was always on the verge of knocking someone over.

Fan Qianqian pouted and said coquettishly, "Ugh, so annoying! Why are there so many people here?" Then, she blinked her beautiful eyes at Lin Yupeng and asked in a teasing voice, "Brother Lin, do you dare to come with me to the advanced slope?"

Her tone was clearly provocative, but Lin Yupeng wasn't about to be intimidated. So what if he fell a few times? It was no big deal! He chuckled and said, "Of course I dare! I'm risking my life to accompany you today!"

Fan Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "It's not like I'm sending you to war, why are you being so dramatic?" But inwardly she chuckled, "Hehe, you'll see soon enough. Even I sometimes slip and fall on this advanced slope!"

The two arrived at the advanced slope together. Lin Yupeng looked down and gasped. The slope was indeed steep enough; if he skied down it, he might end up doing a somersault in mid-air. But since he was already there, he couldn't back down, lest Fan Qianqian laugh at him.

"I'm going down! Follow me!" Fan Qianqian giggled, swung her ski poles, and rushed down. Lin Yupeng had no choice but to follow her. After skiing a few steps, he stumbled and hurriedly used his ski poles to steady himself. But because the slope was too steep, the momentum of his descent didn't diminish, and Lin Yupeng's body swayed violently.

Just then, Lin Yupeng suddenly felt someone rush up from behind and shove him hard in the back. He was already about to fall, and the push sent him tumbling forward, his ski poles flying from his hands, landing right at Fan Qianqian's feet.

"Ah... what are you doing?" Fan Qianqian cried out, losing her balance. Then, the person who had pushed Lin Yupeng rushed in front of her again, raising his hand to slap her!

Fan Qianqian cried out again, falling down the slope with Lin Yupeng, their skis, poles, and other equipment flying everywhere.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Lin Yupeng's mind: "Damn it! Have we run into an enemy? That person clearly did it on purpose!"

He was right! Just as the two rolled down the slope, two dark, cold gun barrels were pointed at Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian's foreheads!

"Don't make a sound, or you're all dead!" A deep, cold voice suddenly rang out.

Lin Yupeng slowly raised his head and saw more than a dozen burly men standing around him, all dressed in ski suits and wearing large brown sunglasses. The high collars obscured half of their faces, making their features impossible to see.

Fan Qianqian, standing beside him, immediately widened her small eyes and shouted in a sweet voice, "What are you going to do?"

The leader chuckled coldly and said in a sinister tone, "Come with us! Gag them, blindfold them, quick!" Lin Yupeng

and Fan Qianqian were now at their mercy, their mouths gagged with a relatively clean white cloth, and then blindfolded with black blindfolds, plunging them into complete darkness. Their bodies were rummaged through, and the concealed Gloca pistol was taken.

Lin Yupeng was then dragged into a car, which sped along the rugged mountain road, the bumpy ride nearly making him vomit his breakfast. His heart sank, and his mind raced: "What do these people want? Are they Zhang Yueran's men? If so, I'm doomed! I was kidnapped once before in Colombia, is it happening again? If it's just a simple kidnapping for ransom, then there's still a glimmer of hope!" He

knew it was too late for regrets and complaints. Regret coming skiing? In broad daylight, who would expect something like this to happen after skiing? Complain that Fan Qixuan invited him skiing? He meant well, and besides, Fan Qixuan's sister, Fan Qianqian, was now implicated!

(Chapter 787 Trapped

in a Stone Prison)

Lin Yupeng felt that his life or death was secondary. From the day he joined the Sky Dome Group, he had disregarded life and death; his only concern was protecting Fan Qianqian from harm.

Lost in thought, his mind grew heavy, mainly from the jarring ride. After what seemed like an eternity, the car screeched to a halt, and he was suddenly lifted up by two men, a gun pressed against his neck. A chilling voice rang out: "Don't move, or the gun might go off!" Lin

Yupeng, his eyes fixed straight ahead, gave a cold laugh. He was carried for another twenty minutes by the two men before suddenly stopping. The object in his mouth was pulled out, followed by a powerful shove from behind. He lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud, followed by a metallic clanging sound.

Lin Yupeng could still move his arms and legs. He quickly pulled off the black blindfold and looked around, gasping in shock.

He was now in a stone cell, about six meters square, surrounded by large, dark stone walls on all sides and behind him. In front of him were thick iron bars, each about the thickness of a goose egg, made of high-quality steel. The bars were spaced ten centimeters apart, barely enough to stretch out a hand. Escape was impossible unless he could transform into a fly and buzz away like Sun Wukong.

Lin Yupeng certainly didn't possess Sun Wukong's abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have been captured and brought here. His only hope for escape was a miracle.

His eyes gleamed as he scanned his surroundings. He saw the little witch Fan Qianqian beside him, the rag in her mouth and the blindfold removed. Inside the stone cell were two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, both in their forties, seemingly a couple, nestled together on a haystack.

Lin Yupeng then looked beyond the steel bars. Outside was a large stone chamber. Although lamps burned eternally on the walls, it was still extremely gloomy and dark, like a living hell. Five burly men stood at the entrance, expressionless, their eyes piercing, constantly scanning the stone cell. Inside

the chamber was a large wooden bed, a wooden table, two bamboo chairs, and beer bottles scattered all over the floor.

Just then, Fan Qianqian, who was standing next to Lin Yupeng, suddenly nudged him with her foot. He turned and glanced at her, suddenly understanding the meaning behind her kick. He quickly moved to her side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

A look of fear flashed in Fan Qianqian's beautiful eyes as she said sweetly, "We've been kidnapped, haven't we?"

Lin Yupeng smiled wryly and said, "Of course! Those guys are probably after me!

Qianqian, don't worry, I'll find a way to get them to release you!"

Fan Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and lowered her voice, "Are you brainless? Since they've kidnapped me, they won't release me easily. They're afraid I'll call the police!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yupeng ... He sighed and said apologetically, "Qianqian, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for dragging you into this!"

Fan Qianqian raised her eyebrows, glared at him, and said irritably, "What's the use of saying sorry now? How did you offend so many people!"

Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly. He didn't have time to argue with Fan Qianqian at this moment. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he faced the five burly men who looked like wooden sculptures and shouted loudly, "Who's in charge of you? Why did you bring me here?"

He shouted several times, but the five men's expressions remained unchanged, their faces as cold as iron, their eyes flashing with lightning, as if they hadn't heard his question at all.

"Hey! Are you deaf or mute? Say something quickly, why did you arrest us?" Fan Qianqian also shouted sweetly from the side.

One of the burly men, a murderous glint flashing in his tiger-like eyes, raised a Type 79 pistol and fired two shots in quick succession. The bullets pierced the stone cell's bars and struck the wall, scattering stone fragments like raindrops.

"What's all the noise about? You bastard, want to die?" the burly man roared, his eyes gleaming with ferocity.

Fan Qianqian, never having witnessed such a scene, let out a soft whimper and buried her face in Lin Yupeng's arms, her delicate body trembling. Despite her usual spoiled and willful nature, this girl wasn't actually that brave.

Lin Yupeng could only hold her tightly, softly comforting her, "It's alright, don't be afraid!" Although she was still wearing a thick ski suit, Fan Qianqian's beautiful breasts pressed firmly against his chest, and the delicate fragrance emanating from her body, like orchids and jasmine, filled his nostrils, invigorating him.

Lin Yupeng had no time to enjoy the ambiguous feeling. Trapped in prison, his life hanging in the balance, all he could think about was how to escape!

After the gunshot, Fan Qianqian nestled in Lin Yupeng's arms for a few seconds before pushing him away. Two bright red blushes rose on her beautiful, delicate hands. She glared at Lin Yupeng, her rosy lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.

"Young man, these guys have a temper! Don't mess with them!" At this moment, a middle-aged man huddled on a pile of firewood in the corner whispered to Lin Yupeng.

"Cough...cough..." The middle-aged woman in the man's arms coughed. Lin Yupeng's gaze fell on her. He felt that the woman's appearance was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. She looked haggard, her face was sallow, her breathing was rapid, and there were wheezing sounds coming from her lungs.

Dr. Lin Yupeng immediately recognized that she had asthma. He quickly moved over and whispered to the middle-aged man, "Are you a couple? Why are you locked up here too? What are those people doing?" He asked three questions in a row.

The middle-aged man, while massaging the woman's back and patting her chest to stop her cough, replied in a deep voice, "Young man, it's a long story! My wife and I have been locked up here for over four months. I still don't know what those people are. The leaders are a man and a woman. Four months ago, they broke into my house, arrested us, and brought us here, where we've been locked up ever since. We're law-abiding citizens, we don't have any money, so why would they kidnap us? I still don't understand what grudge we have against them."

Lin Yupeng's mind went blank for a moment, his heart pounded, and his eyes flashed sharply as he glanced at the middle-aged woman before finally fixing his gaze on the middle-aged man. He asked seriously, "Are you surnamed Qin?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback, his face showing surprise. He hurriedly asked, "Young man, how do you know my surname is Qin?"

Lin Yupeng sighed, inwardly smiling bitterly, "Calling me 'young man'? Doesn't that mess up the generations?

"

Chapter 88 A Mixed Feeling Lin

Yupeng was even more certain that he hadn't mistaken the person. His expression was a mixture of sorrow and joy. He stared intently at the middle-aged man and asked in a deep voice, "Your name is Qin Huaishan, right? And this auntie, is your name Xue Man... right?"

Qin Huaishan hurriedly nodded and replied, "Yes, you... how do you know our names? I don't think I've ever seen you before!"

Lin Yupeng smiled faintly and said seriously, "You have a daughter named Qin Xue, right? I used to be her... teacher..." A mix of emotions surged through his mind in an instant. Countless thoughts raced through his mind. He remembered that several months ago, Qin Xue's home had been ransacked by Long Ping and Long Wu, and her parents had been kidnapped. Their fate and whereabouts remained unknown. Qin Xue had even fallen seriously ill because of this and still missed her parents. Because she had mentioned her parents' names to Lin Yupeng before, he was able to call them out accurately today. Qin Xue resembled her mother, which was why Lin Yupeng found Xue Man very familiar.

He couldn't help but bitterly smile to himself, "Well, that's great. After searching for months, I've ended up in the same place as those two old folks! It seems the people who arrested me weren't Zhang Yueran, but Long Da and Long Ping, who are also my mortal enemies! Of the 'Seven Dragons' of the Tianhan City underworld, only two died directly at my hands—Long Si and Long Liu. Long San was killed by Xiang Kui, and Long Wu also ended up in jail because of me, so he's bound to get shot... Sigh, this is terrible! If I had fallen into Zhang Yueran's hands, he might have considered our past collaboration and given me a quick death, leaving me with a whole corpse. But now that I'm in Long Da's hands, I'll be tortured to death!"

When Qin Huaishan heard Lin Yupeng say that he was Qin Xue's teacher, his dim eyes lit up. Of course, he didn't pay attention to the word "past." Qin Xue and Lin Yupeng were now husband and wife.

"Are you really Xiaoxue's teacher?" Qin Huaishan looked at Lin Yupeng with suspicion, asking as if seeking confirmation.

Lin Yupeng smiled faintly and nodded, "Yes, my name is Lin Yupeng."

Qin Huaishan pondered, "I think I heard her mention Xiaoxue... Is she alright now? Did she also fall into the hands of these people?"

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "She's fine, she's been rescued by the police! Don't worry!" Thinking of the beautiful, charming, and lively Qin Xue, he felt a pang of sadness: "I wonder if I'll ever see Qin Xue again. Sigh, I felt like my luck had been too good lately, and now it's all gone!"

"Teacher Lin, is that girl your girlfriend?" Qin Huaishan glanced at Fan Qianqian leaning against the wall and asked with regret in a deep voice.

"No, she's a... friend of mine!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly and replied in a deep voice.

"Teacher Lin, how did you manage to offend those people too?" Qin Huaishan continued to ask, puzzled.

Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly and said, "It's a long story..." At this moment, Qin Xue's mother, Xue Man, coughed violently again, her breathing rapid. Qin Huaishan immediately patted her back, his face showing concern and sorrow.

"How long has Auntie been sick?" Lin Yupeng looked at Xue Man and asked with concern.

"Sigh... more than two months. To be fair, those people still have some humanity. After discovering my wife's illness, they even bought her some medicine. But this dark and damp stone cell, how can it be a place to recuperate? It's good enough if we can barely stay alive!" Qin Huaishan shook his head and sighed.

Lin Yupeng looked at the couple; they were, after all, his in-laws. Thinking of the suffering they had endured these past few months, he felt a pang of sorrow, and a surge of anger rose within him: "Long Da, you beasts! If you have a score to settle, settle it with me! Why drag others into this? If I manage to escape, I'll kill you both!"

Though his resolve hardened, his gaze fell upon the thick steel railing and the padlock on the iron gate, larger than a palm. He immediately deflated. With such thick railings and such heavy locks, escaping would be an impossible task! No wonder they weren't tied up; whether they were tied up or not, they'd be trapped!

Not long after, the door opened and another burly man entered the stone chamber, carrying two large food boxes. He said in a deep voice to the five men guarding the "hostages," "Time to eat!"

After saying that, he placed the food boxes on the wooden table, took out more than twenty snow-white steamed buns, five plates of hot dishes with meat and vegetables, and a few kinds of pickled vegetables. The five men sat together and wolfed down their food, and the aroma of the dishes wafted over.

At the same time, the burly man who had delivered the food picked up four large white steamed buns and put them on a plate. He also took a small plate of pickled vegetables and two bottles of mineral water. He walked to the outside of the stone cell's bars, stuffed these items through the small gaps at the bottom, and said coldly, "Dinner's ready! After you've finished eating, push the plates and bottles out!"

After he turned and left, Lin Yupeng brought over the so-called dinner he had delivered, giving Qin Huaishan and his wife two large steamed buns and some pickled vegetables. Then, he picked up a bottle of mineral water and the remaining two large white steamed buns, went to Fan Qianqian, and said in a low voice, "Qianqian, have something to eat!" With that, he handed her a steamed bun.

Fan Qianqian had just been jostled around in the car and was indeed hungry. She reached out her delicate, fair hand, grabbed a steamed bun, and took a bite. She thought about how she had become a hostage, locked up in the stone cell like an animal—she had never suffered such humiliation in her life!

Her temper flared up again. She slammed the steamed bun to the ground, spitting out the bite she had just taken a bite of. Her eyebrows furrowed, her cheeks puffed out, and she angrily shouted at the outside of the stone cell, "I won't eat! Let us go right now!"

Lin Yupeng smiled bitterly, picked up the steamed bun from the ground, placed a hand on Fan Qianqian's delicate, sculpted shoulder, and softly comforted her, "Qianqian, you have to eat something, how can you not eat?" Then, lowering his voice to a whisper, he added, "If you don't eat, you won't even have the strength to escape!"

Fan Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Yupeng, and said coquettishly, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Do you think we can escape?"

Lin Yupeng's face darkened, and he said seriously, "We still have to eat. As long as there's even a one percent chance, we can't give up!" As he spoke, he peeled off the outer layer of the steamed bun that Fan Qianqian had thrown on the ground. The outside was dusty, but the inside was still clean and hygienic.

"I won't eat! What time is it? I have no appetite!" No matter how Lin Yupeng tried to persuade her, Fan Qianqian refused to eat a single bite. Lin Yupeng couldn't do anything about it, so he ate the peeled bun and put the other bun in his pocket, planning to give it to Fan Qianqian when she got really hungry.

Chapter 789: Eldest Brother and

Second Sister.

Inside the stone cell, the four remained silent for a long time. No one spoke; their depressed mood in this environment was unimaginable. They didn't know what the future held, and perhaps they would die at any moment.

A long time passed, and it was unclear how much. The place was dimly lit, and they couldn't see outside. Lin Yupeng's watch had been taken from him, so he could only guess from memory that it was late at night.

Suddenly, the door to the outer stone chamber opened, and a man and a woman walked in. Both appeared to be in their thirties. The man was dressed in black, with a square face, a prominent nose, and monkey-like cheeks. His eyes were sharp and clear, like flashes of cold lightning, and he exuded a bandit-like and murderous aura that sent chills down

one's spine. The woman beside him was incredibly alluring and seductive. She was about 1.75 meters tall and possessed a devilishly sexy figure. She wore a white trench coat, and her two large breasts, clearly the result of breast augmentation surgery, swayed with her movements like a raging storm. She wore red bootcut pants, her waist slender and delicate, her hips full, and her legs shapely and sexy. Her mature and seductive charm made every man who saw her feel an urgent urge to sleep with her.

Lin Yupeng recognized the man as the notorious bandit Long Da, whom he had seen in the surveillance footage from Little Flying Insect. The woman beside him was "Second Sister" Long Ping, whom he had seen in photos. Although he had never met them in person, Lin Yupeng's eyesight and memory were excellent; he recognized them instantly. He thought to himself, "Finally, I've met the legendary Long Da and Long Er! Sigh! How are these two going to deal with me?"

The five burly men guarding the stone cell immediately stood up upon seeing Long Da and Long Ping, bowing respectfully and saying, "Big Brother, Second Sister, hello!"

Long Da and Long Ping nodded grimly, stepped outside the stone cell bars, and looked at Lin Yupeng inside the "cage," a cold smile appearing on their faces.

Lin Yupeng thought that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well fight them to the end. He didn't back down, meeting Long Da and Long Ping's gaze with a calm and composed expression, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips.

Long Da's sharp, hawk-like eyes flashed with a cold, piercing light as he sized up Lin Yupeng. He said in a sinister tone, "Lin Yupeng, you're just a greenhorn in your twenties, yet you're so ruthless, killing four of my brothers. Do you even know the meaning of blood for blood? You never dreamed this day would come, did you?" His tone was filled with a fierce killing intent that sent chills down one's spine.

Lin Yupeng, however, remained calm, giving a cold smile. He said, "Long Da, your brothers are all ruthless killers, they deserve to die! Today, I'm just sorry I was careless and got tricked by you. If you have the guts, give me a quick death!"

Long Da chuckled dryly, "Lin Yupeng, you want to die? It's easy! I can send you to the Western Paradise right now!" With that, he suddenly pulled a Type 79 pistol from his pocket, brandishing it at Lin Yupeng's head a couple of times, but didn't pull the trigger.

Long Ping's almond-shaped eyes sparkled with spring-like light as she glanced at Lin Yupeng and giggled, "This kid's got some backbone! How do you plan to deal with him?"

Long Da put away his gun, gave Lin Yupeng a cold smile, and said, "Lin Yupeng, you think you can die so easily! You're a big fish. Once I catch you, I'll squeeze a hefty sum out of the Sky Dome Group, consider it compensation for my dead brother!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled, his tone mocking, "Long Da, as the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. I killed your brother, so you'll have to pay me back." "Fate, that's only fair, but I hope you won't make things difficult for my friends!" He then pointed at Qin Huaishan and his wife, and Fan Qianqian, and said seriously, "These three are innocent. I hope you'll release them!"

Long Da smiled sinisterly and said, "Lin Yupeng, you're about to die, and you still have the leisure to plead for others? I admire you! However, I can't grant your request for now. Who can guarantee they won't call the police after they get out? I know you have many friends in the police force; the police are still after me! Too bad they can't catch me!"

Long Ping sized up Fan Qianqian a few times, then giggled, "This little girl is quite pretty. If you agree to follow my Second Sister Long, I'll let you go!"

"Pah! You shameless woman, I'd rather die than follow you!" Fan Qianqian's beautiful eyes widened as she glared at Long Ping and snapped.

Long Da shook his head, staring at Long Ping beside him, and said seriously, "Ping-mei, this woman is the only daughter of Fan Zhenliang, the chairman of the Lant Group. We can use her to extort another sum of money from the Lant Group. Hehe, today's deal is really worthwhile, killing two birds with one stone!"

The two adulterers stood outside the railing for a while, then turned back to the table, leaned over, and sat down to discuss how to use Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian's special identities to extort ransom, and what torture to use to kill Lin Yupeng and avenge their dead brother.

Although they spoke in hushed tones, Lin Yupeng, with his exceptional hearing, still caught snippets of conversation. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, how could I have fallen into the hands of these two beasts?"

He still held a sliver of hope: that his men could find their way here and rescue him, Fan Qianqian, and the Qin Huaishan couple. But where was this place? He didn't even know. Could his men find it? Only a miracle!

Long Da and Long Ping had been in the stone chamber for over an hour when Long Da's phone rang. He answered, his face darkening, and whispered something Lin Yupeng didn't hear.

Immediately afterward, Long Da hung up, stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and left the stone chamber with Long Ping. Before leaving, he reminded the five burly men to keep an eye on Lin Yupeng; even if they didn't watch him, the four of them wouldn't escape.

After Long Da and Long Ping left, everything returned to normal. Night fell, and all was quiet. Several charcoal braziers sat in the stone chamber, but they were far from the cell, making the chamber feel cold and damp.

Although Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian were wearing thick ski suits, they still felt a chill and were uncomfortable sitting on the ground.

"Teacher Lin, it's cold on the ground. Why don't you sit on this pile of firewood for a while?" Qin Huaishan beckoned to Lin Yupeng. He and his wife, Xue Man, were wearing down jackets and weren't too cold sitting on the firewood. However, Xue Man's asthma often flared up; her coughing and rapid breathing seemed severe, and without prompt medical attention, her life could be in danger. Chapter 790: Escape Opportunity

Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian did as he was told and sat on the haystack, finally feeling a bit warmer. None of the four spoke, each lost in their own thoughts. Lin Yupeng was frantic with worry. He had finally found Qin Xue's parents, from whom she had been separated for months, but not only could he not save them, he would also have to suffer with them. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he scanned the situation inside and outside the stone cell, plotting an escape plan. He first looked up. The top of the stone cell was more than five meters above the ground, with a small skylight about the size of a palm. To get out, one would need to have an iron head and iron arms, and perform a "crane soaring into the sky" to have a chance of breaking out. Although Lin Yupeng was strong, he was still flesh and blood, and it was impossible for him to get out from there; the skylight was just for ventilation. He glanced around the stone cell again. The stone walls were all made of long stone blocks, and in one corner was a wooden slop bucket about half a person's height, presumably for the "prisoners" inside to relieve themselves. Lin Yupeng was somewhat desperate. It seemed that escape was difficult. Was he just going to sit and wait to die? He was really unwilling to give up. Seeing Lin Yupeng constantly looking around, Qin Huaishan guessed that Lin Yupeng was thinking about how to escape. A strange glint flashed across his face, and his eyes swept over the five burly men outside the stone cell, hesitating to speak. Fan Qianqian sat on the firewood, her hand supporting her chin, lost in thought for a while. Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness washed over her. Since going to the ski resort in the afternoon and being kidnapped and brought here, the journey had been bumpy, and she hadn't eaten dinner because she was angry. She was already exhausted, thirsty, and hungry. Lin Yupeng knew she wouldn't be able to stay awake, so he had left her a steamed bun and a bottle of mineral water beforehand. This time, when he handed them to her again, Fan Qianqian didn't throw a tantrum. She obediently ate the bun and drank half a bottle of water, but the drowsiness that followed made her eyelids droop. "Brother Lin, can I lean on your shoulder for a while? I'm a little sleepy!" Fan Qianqian said sweetly, her tone soft and gentle. This was the first time Lin Yupeng had heard her speak to him in such a gentle tone, and he was momentarily stunned. Fan Qianqian immediately raised her charming eyes again, glaring at Lin Yupeng, and said coquettishly, "What, you don't want to? Then forget it!" Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "Of course I do! Anyway, I'm going to die soon, so don't even mention lending me a shoulder, I'll just give it to you!" The fact that he could still make such a joke in this situation surprised and impressed Qin Huaishan. Judging from his conversation with Long Da earlier, this young man in front of him was incredibly brave! A blush rose on Fan Qianqian's pretty face, and she glared at Lin Yupeng, saying coquettishly, "Who wants your shoulder! You're so annoying!" Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, reached out and pulled her into his arms, and said softly, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy! I hope this is just a nightmare!" Fan Qianqian groaned, struggled a few times, and then stopped moving. She was too tired, and soon fell asleep. Lin Yupeng unbuttoned his thick ski suit, letting Fan Qianqian curl up and bury herself completely inside to keep warm. He glanced at Qin Huaishan and his wife, noticing they were in similar positions. Xue Man was also nestled in her husband Qin Huaishan's arms, breathing evenly, already fast asleep. Lin Yupeng, however, was wide awake. The faint fragrance emanating from Fan Qianqian's body invigorated him. He looked out of the stone cell and saw the five burly men guarding it still standing at the entrance, their faces stern and their expressions wooden, like five wax figures. Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly, "I don't believe you guys don't sleep at night? Do you sleep during the day?" After a while, the burly man who was the leader of the five, the same leopard-eyed man who had pulled out a gun to scare Lin Yupeng earlier, turned and glanced at the four burly men beside him. He looked down at his watch and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, it's past 1 a.m., we should go to sleep! What are you still looking at? Even if the people inside had wings, they couldn't fly out! Let's go to sleep. Big Brother and Second Sister definitely can't come now, so let's not waste time!" At his command, the four burly men immediately yawned and headed towards the wooden bed in the northeast corner of the stone chamber. The large wooden bed was very spacious, enough to sleep five or six people side by side. After the four men got on the bed, they soon fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly. The burly man with leopard eyes, who was the leader, didn't immediately fall asleep. He glanced back at Lin Yupeng inside the stone cell, chuckled wickedly, and then sat down at the wooden table. There were still a few plates of leftover food on the table. He opened the cabinet under the table, rummaged around for a while, and pulled out a bottle of strong liquor. Without even using a glass, he drank straight from the bottle, along with the leftovers. After drinking most of the bottle, the burly man with leopard eyes showed signs of drunkenness. His head slumped, and he slumped onto the table with a thud, falling into a deep sleep and snoring loudly. Seeing that two and a half of the five burly men guarding them were asleep, Qin Huaishan's face flashed with that eerie light again. He gently woke his wife, Xue Man, and whispered, "Wife, keep an eye on them for me, cover their view, I have to get to work!" Lin Yupeng, who was standing nearby, was a little confused. He thought to himself, "What work? Is he talking nonsense?" Qin Huaishan noticed his strange expression and knew his doubts. He quickly and quietly walked to Lin Yupeng's side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Teacher Lin, I've found the only possible escape route. I've been trying it for two months, every night at this time. I hope a miracle will happen!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he lowered his voice to ask, "Uncle Qin, what path are you referring to? How do we get there?"

Qin Huaishan winked at his wife, and Xue Man sat up straight, blocking her husband's path. Qin Huaishan gently parted the haystack, revealing a section of wall behind it.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with lightning as he stared intently at the wall. He saw a long, one-foot-high, two-foot-long strip of bluestone close to the ground. Where it connected with other stones, a deep crack had been carved out. Touching it, he could feel a faint breeze blowing through, indicating that the end of the crack connected to the outside world.

Qin Huaishan whispered in Lin Yupeng's ear, "Teacher Lin, I discovered this by accident. The stones on the walls here are slightly brittle, but I don't know why. That day, I had a sudden inspiration and secretly removed a nail from the toilet. I used that nail to dig into the cracks in the stones little by little, and gradually, I dug deeper and deeper. I've been digging for more than two months now. Every night, I start digging while they are asleep. I think if I can completely dig through the outside, we'll have to push aside that big blue stone, and then we can climb out!"

Chapter 791

A Glimmer of Hope

Lin Yupeng gently placed the sleeping Fan Qianqian in his arms onto the firewood pile. The girl's sleeping posture was very cute, like a baby, and she slept quite soundly. He guessed that someone would throw her on the ground and she wouldn't wake up.

He glanced at Fan Qianqian again, then turned and stared intently at the large blue stone. Qin Huaishan was right; if they could move the stone, they could barely climb out. He reached out and touched the large blue stone, then the ground, thinking to himself, "The temperature difference between day and night is huge here, and the ground is damp. It probably contains some trace element that can make the stone brittle."

But Lin Yupeng didn't have time to investigate the scientific reasons why the stone would become brittle. He glanced at Qin Huaishan and thought to himself, "Uncle Qin is really clever. No wonder Qin Xue is so smart; she takes after her father!"

He saw Qin Huaishan take out a finger-length iron nail from his pocket, its tip almost worn smooth, and forcefully pry at the outer edge of the blue stone. Even though the stone had become brittle due to chemical reactions, it was still very difficult to break it. He had to use all his strength, and each pry could only remove a little bit of debris. He also had to be careful not to be discovered by people outside. No wonder it hadn't been completely cleared in two months; the progress was too slow.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply, and he lowered his voice to ask Qin Huaishan, "Uncle Qin, how long do you estimate it will take to dig through?"
Qin Huaishan glanced warily at the outside of the stone cell, seeing the five men sleeping like logs, not waking up until dawn, with his wife Xue Man keeping watch. Relieved, he replied in a deep voice, "About seven or eight days! The key is that we can't work during the day; those guys have sharp eyes, we're afraid they'll spot us!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he whispered, "Uncle Qin, you rest. I'll do the work. I'm quite strong; you just need to find a way to block their view!"

Qin Huaishan pondered for a while, then nodded, "Alright then, Teacher Lin, please be careful!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled, took the nail from his hand, and fiercely drilled it into the outer edge of the large bluestone. He was already twice as strong as an average person, and this time he pried off a thumb-sized piece of stone, three times stronger than Qin Huaishan.

Upon seeing Lin Yupeng's extraordinary strength, Qin Huaishan was overjoyed, thinking that at this rate, he could probably break through in two or three days.

Lin Yupeng, however, was even more anxious than him, because he didn't know when Long Da would take his life, so he had to act as quickly as possible. It seemed he would have to find a way to work secretly during the day and pry open the large bluestone as soon as possible.

His strong will to survive made him dig harder and harder, and he dug for most of the night. The bluestone had been loosened somewhat, but he still couldn't push it open completely, no matter how hard he tried. It seemed he had to continue digging, but then dawn was approaching.

A faint ray of morning light poured down from the skylight in the ceiling, illuminating the stone cell floor and casting a dim, shimmering glow.

Qin Huaishan hurriedly turned to Lin Yupeng and whispered, "Teacher Lin, we can't dig anymore. Those people outside are probably waking up. Quickly hide the nails!"

Lin Yupeng nodded. Just as he hid the nails and pulled over a haystack to block the large blue stone on the ground, he heard Xue Man, who had been keeping watch, turn around and shush, "Be careful, the leader is waking up!"

Lin Yupeng focused his gaze on the outside of the stone cell and saw the leopard-eyed giant swaying for a while, then supporting himself on the table with both hands, suddenly raising his head and glancing at the "prisoners" in the stone cell. He then stood up, walked to a chamber pot in the southeast corner of the stone chamber, unbuckled his belt, and began to urinate. The "bang bang bang" was louder than a horse urinating. This guy had drunk too much last night.

After relieving himself of the water, he glanced at his four men sprawled on the bed, fast asleep. He hurriedly went over and gave them a few hard shoves, shouting, "Brothers, wake up! Big Brother and Second Sister are coming!"

The words "Big Brother" and "Second Sister" seemed to have a magical power over them. The four burly men, still half asleep, immediately jumped out of bed as if by reflex, quickly stood at the door, and resumed their usual cold and wooden expressions, motionless like wax figures, not even bothering to scratch a mosquito on their face.

The leopard-eyed leader wandered around the stone chamber. Suddenly, he heard the door open. He quickly returned to his original position. As soon as the door opened, another burly man walked in carrying a food box. He nodded to the five men in the stone chamber, placed the food box on the table, and then picked up the plates left over from the previous night.

After the burly man left, the leader with the leopard-like eyes called out, "Brothers, time to eat!"

The five men sprang into action, each going to the wooden table and opening their food boxes. Inside were steamed buns, porridge, pickled vegetables, and water. As usual, the leader gave some food to Lin Yupeng, Qin Huaishan, and the other three men in the stone cell, then returned to the wooden table to feast.

Lin Yupeng distributed the food to Qin Huaishan and his wife, then glanced at Fan Qianqian. She was still fast asleep, her delicate face flushed, her long, beautiful eyelashes fluttering adorably. Although she was wearing a thick ski suit, the soft, undulating lines of her body were still faintly visible, her full, snowy buttocks curving back in a graceful arc, utterly captivating.

Lin Yupeng's heart fluttered at the sight, and he quickly suppressed his sudden infatuation. He sat down beside Fan Qianqian, reached out and gently stroked her delicate nose, softly calling, "Qianqian, wake up, have something to eat!"

Fan Qianqian opened her beautiful eyes slightly, her expression languid, and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Lin, my head is still foggy, can I sleep a little longer? It's so cold!"

Lin Yupeng rubbed his hand that had just touched her nose, feeling it was damp with sweat. He then stared intently at Fan Qianqian's incomparably charming face, noticing beads of sweat on her forehead and an unnatural flush on her complexion. He quickly reached out and touched her forehead, finding it burning hot. He thought to himself, "Oh no, she's sick with a fever!" Fan Qianqian had always been the apple of the Fan family's eye, pampered since childhood, like a delicate flower in a greenhouse. She had never experienced such hardship. Last night, she was frightened and chilled, and after one night, she caught a cold and developed a fever.

"Qianqian, wake up! Wake up, you're sick!" Lin Yupeng felt a pang of pain in his heart. He picked up Fan Qianqian, fed her some water, and asked with concern, "Qianqian, how are you feeling?"

Fan Qianqian was now fully awake. Her head felt heavy, her throat was burning and itchy, and she felt chills all over. She coughed a few times, her delicate red lips pursed, and she stubbornly said, "I'm fine..."

(Chapter 792:

The Beauty Needs to Relieve Herself)

Fan Qianqian suddenly realized she was lying in Lin Yupeng's arms. His intense masculine aura washed over her, and meeting his gaze filled with concern and tenderness, her heart fluttered. Remembering how she had confessed to her friends a few days ago that he was her "boyfriend," her pretty face immediately flushed a captivating blush. Her face was already flushed from the fever, but this shyness made it even more vibrant, like a ripe persimmon.

"Hehe, even this girl has her shy moments!" Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly, holding her soft, delicate body.

Seeing him staring intently at her with a smile, Fan Qianqian quickly struggled to get out of his embrace, blushing and glaring at him, saying coquettishly, "You're so annoying! Always taking advantage of me!"

Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly, muttering to himself, "You two are such hypocrites! Last night you insisted on borrowing my shoulder, and ended up practically clinging to me..."

Ever since learning a way to escape, Lin Yupeng's heart had been filled with hope, and his mind had become active. As long as he could escape before Long Da attacked him, he would be a tiger unleashed!

To escape now, he needed to speed up the process of prying open that large blue stone, so his mind raced like an engine.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he came up with an effective plan. It was actually quite simple: he would stand with his back to the wall, holding a nail in his hand, and secretly dig at the edge of the blue stone, using his body to block the view. That way, Long Da's thugs outside wouldn't be able to see what he was doing.

However, the method of using the back of one's hand to pry the stone was less effective, so Lin Yupeng secretly told Qin Huaishan about it…

Upon hearing this, Qin Huaishan pondered and said, “Teacher Lin, I’ve thought of this method before, but when you put your hand behind your back, you can’t exert any force, so the effect is minimal.”

Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly and said, “I can exert force, don’t worry!”

Fan Qianqian, who was standing nearby, also heard a few words but didn’t understand what they were saying. Her beautiful eyes flashed with confusion, and she asked in a sweet voice, “What are you talking about? What stone…”

She spoke loudly, and Lin Yupeng, worried that she would reveal the secret, quickly reached out and covered her mouth, whispering, “Qianqian, keep your voice down!” Then he glanced warily outside the stone cell and saw that the five burly men hadn’t noticed their actions. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, “That was close! This reckless little girl!”

Lin Yupeng's hand was covering her rosy lips, those two tender, soft lips bringing a moist, delicate, and wonderful sensation that spread throughout her body like an electric shock through his hand, making her heart flutter.

Fan Qianqian's face turned red with anger, and she pushed Lin Yupeng's large hand away forcefully, glaring at him resentfully. Her cheeks puffed out in anger, and she said coquettishly, "Lin Yupeng, are you crazy? What are you doing?"

This time her voice was noticeably lower, but when she thought about how his hand had just covered her soft lips, which was a rather sensitive area... Last time at the bowling alley, she accidentally kissed his neck and was so embarrassed that she couldn't sleep all night. Today, his large hand had covered that area again, and she was both ashamed and angry, so she punched Lin Yupeng's chest hard.

Fan Qianqian had just fallen ill and was quite weak. She thrashed about as if scratching an itch. Lin Yupeng quickly grabbed her slender, delicate hands and said seriously, "Qianqian, stop fooling around! I'm telling you..." He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "We have a chance to escape. It's behind the haystack, on that big blue stone. We can pry it open. I'm trying..."

He felt further explanation was unnecessary; just telling her there was hope of escape was enough. Hearing this, Fan Qianqian's beautiful eyes lit up with anticipation. She whispered, "If we can really escape, that would be wonderful! I'm going crazy here!"

She coughed lightly a few times, her pretty face suddenly flushing a vibrant red. She glanced at Lin Yupeng and said shyly, "Brother Lin, I want to..." Her beautiful eyes darted to the toilet in the corner, her brows furrowing slightly, hesitant to speak.

Lin Yupeng didn't know what she wanted to do; he rarely saw her speak so hesitantly. So he asked with concern, "Qianqian, what are you going to do?"

Fan Qianqian's face flushed even more upon hearing this, as delicate and alluring as a newly blossoming begonia. She leaned close to Lin Yupeng's ear and whispered, "Brother Lin, I...I need that..." Lin

Yupeng was completely bewildered and hurriedly asked, "Qianqian, which one do you want?"

Fan Qianqian rolled her eyes at him, her voice tinged with shyness, "Oh, you're so annoying, it's that...that one!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he caught sight of where she was pointing. He understood most of it, but pretended not to, deliberately asking, "Qianqian, which one is it? I'm so confused!"

Fan Qianqian's bright, dark eyes swept around, her face turning crimson. She gently bit her soft, rosy lips, then leaned closer to Lin Yupeng's ear and whispered shyly, "It's just...I need to...use the restroom! You're so dense!" Her voice trailed off, growing softer and softer, almost inaudible, like the cry of a dragon. She blushed crimson, her neck and ears turning red with embarrassment.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, glancing at the toilet in the corner, and said softly, "Then go ahead and relieve yourself. I won't look!"

Fan Qianqian's face flushed crimson, her eyebrows furrowed, and she glared at Lin Yupeng, saying coquettishly, "You're so annoying! I'm not afraid you'll see, I'm afraid people outside will see... ah..."

At the end, she suddenly realized her earlier statement was grammatically incorrect. Not being afraid of Lin Yupeng "seeing" implied that she tacitly allowed him to "see" her relieving herself. Overwhelmed with shame, she punched Lin Yupeng in the chest with her fist and muttered, "It's all your fault, so annoying!"

Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly, inwardly lamenting, "What does this have to do with me? You're the one who said the wrong thing!" He then gazed at Fan Qianqian with a smile and asked softly, "So what do you want me to do?"

Fan Qianqian gently bit her tender nipple, her jade cheeks flushed, and finally made up her mind. She said softly, "Brother Lin, carry me on your back, use your clothes to block the outside, I... need to relieve myself..." Lin

Yupeng nodded, then suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Big or small?"

Fan Qianqian's pretty face turned as red as if she had applied rouge. She glared at him and whispered, "Small, hurry up!" With that, she pulled a pack of sanitary napkins from her pocket. This item hadn't been confiscated yet, demonstrating the kidnappers' "humanitarian spirit." Fan

Qianqian secretly handed the sanitary napkins to Lin Yupeng, whispering, "After I relieve myself, give me this!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, took the sanitary napkins , and held them in his hand, adopting a serious expression. He said solemnly, "Qianqian, I'm going to carry you now!" " After saying that, he bent down in front of Fan Qianqian and carried her on his back. He heard Fan Qianqian sternly instruct him in his ear: "You...you must not have any bad thoughts in your mind later..." "I know, I know..." Lin Yupeng replied sincerely, but secretly he was amused: "How could you know what I'm thinking?" Fortunately , his back was to Fan Qianqian, so she couldn't see the sly smile playing on his lips. Lin Yupeng carried Fan Qianqian to the toilet in the corner, crouching down slightly. He felt Fan Qianqian's soft, yielding body pressed against his back, her head resting on his shoulder, her breath sweet and fragrant in his ear. His hands were supporting her knees, and even through her clothes, he could clearly feel her warm, tender skin, sending a shiver down his spine. Fan Qianqian's pretty face was flushed, making her incredibly cute and alluring. Her beautiful eyes glanced around the stone cell. Qin Huaishan, seeing she needed to relieve herself, had already turned his back. As for his wife, Xue Man, being a woman, there was no need for her to avoid suspicion.

She gently unbuckled her belt, revealing her snow-white, full buttocks… After relieving herself, Fan Qianqian whispered shyly in Lin Yupeng's ear, “Brother Lin…get a sanitary napkin.”

Lin Yupeng, still immersed in the tenderness of her beautiful body, immediately snapped out of his reverie upon hearing this. He quickly supported her legs with one hand while extending the sanitary napkin behind her with the other.

Fan Qianqian blushed, grabbed the sanitary napkin, and after finishing, hurriedly pulled up her pants, jumped off Lin Yupeng, gave him a shy glare, then lowered her head and walked to the firewood pile, sitting quietly there.

Lin Yupeng chuckled. He didn't have time to tease her now; escaping was the priority! He walked to the firewood pile, gently parted a patch of straw, revealing the large, loose blue stone, secretly took out a nail from his pocket, and continued digging with his back to the outside.

Having just learned the secret of the escape, Fan Qianqian understood what Lin Yupeng was doing. Pretending not to have seen anything, she sat on the haystack, lost in thought: "I've been imprisoned here for a whole day. I wonder how worried my family must be. It's all my second brother's fault for insisting on going skiing! Sigh, it's also my fault. I was too playful and insisted on playing with him... I hope Lin Yupeng can dig the secret passage. He's really bold and meticulous! It was actually quite comfortable lying on his back just now..."

Thinking of this, her delicate face flushed red again, and she thought to herself, "Fan Qianqian, how could you have such thoughts? It's so embarrassing!"

Fan Qianqian secretly glanced at Lin Yupeng and saw him staring straight ahead, focused, with his hands behind his back. Her heart fluttered.

Desperate to escape, Lin Yupeng used almost all his strength to work on the large blue stone. His hands ached, but he persisted, sustained only by a will to survive. Images of the beautiful women he was intimately close to flashed through his mind. He had to live for them, and his career had just started to turn around; it would be such a pity to die like this!

Persistence pays off, and there's always a way out. As Lin Yupeng dug, more and more fragments appeared around the edge of the large blue stone. He cleverly hid the fragments on the ground among the firewood he chopped up. The stone cell was dimly lit, so even if the fragments weren't hidden, people outside wouldn't be able to see them clearly.

The large blue stone was moving more and more. Lin Yupeng roughly calculated that if he kept prying at this rate, he could completely pry it open tonight. Then he could escape while the guards were asleep. He just hoped that Long Da and Long Ping wouldn't come today. If they attacked him today, all his efforts would be in vain.

He suddenly felt relieved and thought sadly, "Even if I die, as long as the secret of this stone isn't discovered, Qin Xue's parents and Fan Qianqian will have a chance to escape..."

As the saying goes, "When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up." Lin Yupeng seemed to be having a stroke of good luck. Long Da and Long Ping hadn't returned since being lured away by that mysterious phone call last night, and people were still bringing them food at noon and in the evening.

After finishing his dinner, Lin Yupeng continued working. After some time, his eyes suddenly lit up. The large blue stone was now completely movable, meaning he could climb out. Of course, Lin Yupeng didn't know what the world outside the stone was like, but he didn't have time to think about that now. Taking it one step at a time was better than waiting to die.

He secretly glanced at the five burly men outside the stone cell. They all looked tired, their eyelids drooping, but they were still forcing themselves to appear energetic. It seemed it was almost midnight.

Not long after, the leader, with his leopard-eyed eyes, couldn't help but yawn. He glanced at his watch and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, it's 1 a.m., everyone go to sleep! Get up early tomorrow, Big Brother and Second Sister might be coming!"

His four burly men immediately nodded. Some went to wash their faces, others went to relieve themselves. After finishing their business, they all went to the large wooden bed, their heads hitting the pillows as soon as they fell into a deep sleep, their snores like thunder.

The leopard-eyed leader's eyes flashed with a cold light as he glanced coldly into the stone cell, chuckled, then turned and walked to the wooden table. He reached into the cabinet underneath and took out a half-empty bottle of strong liquor, what he had left over from last night. He continued to drink it down, along with the leftover food on the table.

After he finished the bottle, his head slumped, and he lay down on the table and fell fast asleep.

Lin Yupeng glanced at the leopard-eyed leader, thinking to himself, "This guy's got quite a drinking problem, heh, this gives us a chance to escape!"

He gently nudged Fan Qianqian beside him; she was half-asleep, her delicate body shivering from a fever.

"What's wrong?" Fan Qianqian opened her sleepy eyes and asked softly.

Lin Yupeng gently touched her soft, smooth forehead, which was still burning hot. Survival was the priority now; they could treat her illness after they escaped.

"Qianqian, I've cleared the stone; we can leave now!" Lin Yupeng said to Fan Qianqian in a deep voice.

After saying this, he winked at Qin Huaishan and his wife, drawing them closer as well, and whispered instructions for their escape: "I'll push the stone aside in a bit. The three of you climb out first, I'll be the last. Remember to be careful, no matter what happens outside, don't make a sound!"

Qin

Huaishan

and his wife, along with Fan Qianqian, nodded simultaneously. Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm going to push the stone now, everyone get ready!"

With that, Qin Huaishan abruptly turned around, facing the outside of the stone cell, his eyes fixed intently on the five sleeping men, acting as a lookout.

Lin Yupeng turned back around and forcefully pushed the large blue stone outwards with both hands. A series of soft, scraping sounds emanated, but compared to the snoring of the men outside, it was nothing.

Before long, the large blue stone, pushed with all his might by Lin Yupeng, revealed the outside space. Lin Yupeng lay on the ground and looked out. He saw a faint light coming from outside, indicating that it wasn't the wilderness, as the wind wasn't strong. It seemed to be a house. He felt a chill and thought to himself, "This stone cell is connected to a house. What's it used for? Sigh, never mind that. Let's escape from that stone cell first! If we're not dead yet, there's still a chance!" He then thought, "What if there are Long Da's men in that house? Qin Huaishan and his wife, along with Fan Qianqian, are all defenseless. If they go out, they'll be captured!" Thinking

of this, he hurriedly turned to Qin Huaishan and said, "Uncle Qin, the situation outside is unclear. I'd better go out and take a look!"

Qin Huaishan nodded, glancing warily at the outside of the stone cell. The five burly men were sleeping like dead pigs. He immediately turned to Lin Yupeng and waved, signaling him to hurry up and go out.

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yupeng's eyes. He quickly crawled on the ground, inching his way out into the small hole in the wall. Looking around, he felt a mixture of joy and worry after seeing the situation outside. He was joyful because it was a room, and no one from Longda was there; he was worried because if they couldn't get out, Longda's people would find them missing and come looking for them, trapping them like turtles in a jar.

But Lin Yupeng didn't have time to think about these things now. He would proceed cautiously, taking it one step at a time. At this moment, Fan Qianqian also crawled out of the inner stone cell. Before Lin Yupeng could examine the stone chamber closely, he turned around and helped Fan Qianqian up.

Then, Qin Huaishan and Xue Man also crawled out. Lin Yupeng felt slightly relieved and quickly pushed the large blue stone back in, sealing it tightly. Even if the five guards discovered them, they wouldn't be able to find where they had gone for a while, and might even think they had escaped using earth magic!

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he carefully examined the newly arrived stone house. He noticed two ever-burning lamps on the walls on either side, the light rather dim. There were also two wooden chests, a wooden bed, and two bamboo chairs inside.

"Brother Lin, where is this?" Fan Qianqian quietly approached Lin Yupeng and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, you guys stay here and don't move!" Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed as he circled the stone house, then strode to the door and pushed it hard. A chill ran down his spine, and he gasped, thinking, "Damn it, the outer door is locked, and it's a big iron door! Ugh, looks like we're still stuck. If they find out we're missing, they'll definitely search here. Looks like my bad luck hasn't ended yet. Now we're trapped in this house!"

Lin Yupeng's expression shifted between anger and despair. He pushed the iron door with all his might, finally managing to make it sway slightly, revealing a crack. He continued pushing, but only managed a two-inch opening. No matter how hard he pushed, it was futile, as the outside was secured with a large padlock. This two-inch crack was far from enough; not even half a head could stick out. They still couldn't escape!

"Sigh! Are we really going to be trapped here to die?" Lin Yupeng's heart sank, and his brain started racing like an engine.

Qin Huaishan, Xue Man, and Fan Qianqian had also seen Lin Yupeng's actions and the disappointed look on his face. They knew they were still in danger; this was truly "just out of the dragon's den, but into the tiger's lair!" A look of despair appeared on each of their faces as they looked expectantly at Lin Yupeng. He was their pillar of support; they hoped he had some good ideas.

What good ideas could Lin Yupeng have? He wasn't like Duan Wei or Leng Rui, who knew how to pick locks. Even a small nail could pry open the locks on the outside. Were they just going to sit and wait to die? He circled the room, his eyes landing on the two wooden boxes. He quickly walked over and saw that they also had two locks.

He circled the two wooden crates, thinking to himself, "What's inside? Gold and silver jewelry, it must be valuable, otherwise they wouldn't put it here, and it's locked with such a big lock!"

Opening the crates was easy for Lin Yupeng. Of course, he wouldn't pick the lock; he would just use the most brute force: kick the wooden lids to break them open. That way, he could see what was inside. With Lin Yupeng's strength and dexterity, he certainly couldn't handle the iron door and lock, but breaking these two wooden crates was more than enough.

"Uncle Qin, Aunt Xue, Miss Qianqian, please step back, I need to get the crates!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with lightning as he said seriously to the three of them.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huaishan and his wife, along with Fan Qianqian, immediately took several steps back, their faces showing surprise. Lin Yupeng also took a few steps back, then took a running start and kicked one of the wooden crates. With a crack, the crate, having been stored in a damp environment for a long time, had deteriorated even with the best wood, and Lin Yupeng's kick created a large hole in it.

The stone house here was very soundproof, and it was unlikely that Lin Yupeng's loud noise would wake the burly man sleeping soundly in the next stone room, but it was still possible. However, he didn't have time to consider that now; he urgently needed to see what was inside the crate. If it contained tools or something similar, then they would still have a chance to escape.

So Lin Yupeng hurriedly pulled along the crack, finally managing to completely peel off one of the wooden planks from the crate. But when he focused his gaze and saw what was inside, he was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "There's always a way out! I have another chance to escape!"

Inside the crate were neatly arranged rows of brand-new Type 79 pistols, gleaming black, each with a bag of ammunition—about fifty or sixty rounds!

With

a

gun in hand, Lin Yupeng was no longer afraid. He could fight Long Da's men, and of course, he could also use it to shoot off the lock on the door and escape.

"This looks like a small armory for Long Da! So the other crate is also full of weapons?" Lin Yupeng wondered to himself.

He started running backward again, then kicked over another wooden crate. Opening it, his joy was boundless. Inside were also weapons: five German shotguns lay in a row, with bullets beside them.

Lin Yupeng knew Long Da was used to these kinds of guns, and he thought to himself in surprise, "This really is an armory! I've heard these shotguns are quite powerful; a single volley can knock down a wall!"

Of course, now he wasn't aiming for a wall, but a large iron gate. This undoubtedly made things easier; how thick could an iron gate be? It certainly couldn't withstand such a powerful shotgun!

Although Lin Yupeng had never used a shotgun before, he had learned some theoretical operation techniques from Xiang Kui when he was learning to shoot. Now he could put those skills to good use. Whether it worked or not didn't matter; at least there was hope of escape.

Therefore, he first grabbed a Type 79 pistol and some bullets. He was quite skilled at shooting pistols, having practiced for a period at the Tianqiong Group.

Then, Lin Yupeng picked up the shotgun again, loaded it, turned to Fan Qianqian and Qin Huaishan, and said seriously, "I'm going to shoot to open the door. Cover your ears first. After I open the door, follow me outside, understand?"

The three nodded simultaneously and covered their ears. Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with lightning, and he led the three back to the wall, more than ten steps away from the iron gate. Then he said, word by word, "I'm shooting!"

With that, he aimed at the large iron gate and... He pulled the trigger, and a deafening roar erupted. Debris flew everywhere, and a large gaping hole was blasted open in the massive iron gate. Lin Yupeng quickly leaped forward, kicking the hole wider. He turned to the still-stunned Fan Qianqian and Qin Huaishan, shouting, "Come with me!" He was frantic. The noise had been deafening; even the deepest sleepers from Longda would have heard it, and they would surely pounce. Now, his only option was to run for his life.

Fan Qianqian and Qin Huaishan snapped out of their daze and hurried through the gaping hole in the iron gate. They found themselves surrounded by desolate mountains and wilderness—a truly remote place, probably deep within Phoenix Mountain.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed with a light brighter than the stars in the sky. He quickly surveyed his surroundings and then immediately pointed ahead, saying, "You guys run up that hillside first, I'll cover the rear!"

Fan Qianqian and the Qin Huaishan couple nodded simultaneously and immediately took off running towards that hillside. Two of the three were unwell; Xue Man had asthma, and Fan Qianqian had a cold, so they couldn't run fast. Only Qin Huaishan was strong and healthy, but he also had to take care of the two women, so his speed was also slowed down.

Lin Yupeng was responsible for covering the rear. He kept glancing towards the stone chamber as he ran up the hillside. Just as he expected, the gunshot had indeed alerted Long Da's men. A commotion erupted nearby, and five men rushed outside, one of them whistling and shouting, "Assemble! Assemble! The prisoner escaped! Lin Yupeng escaped! Arrest him!"

Lin Yupeng cursed inwardly, "Pah! Who's the prisoner? You're the prisoners!"

Just then, five men charged towards him—the five burly men guarding the stone cell. Without hesitation, Lin Yupeng fired a shot at them.

A loud "bang" rang out. Although it didn't hit anyone, the shot struck a nearby small tree, about the size of a bowl. The poor tree snapped in two and crashed to the ground, its dry, winter-winter branches scattering everywhere. The five men were so startled that they quickly dropped to the ground in perfect unison, suggesting they had received military training.

By this time, a large crowd had gathered, numbering over twenty, and they charged towards Lin Yupeng in two groups. They couldn't find Long Da and Long Ping; it seemed they weren't there, otherwise they would have already dealt with him.

At this point, Lin Yupeng was desperate. He hid behind a mound and opened fire on the charging men. Three shots rang out, startling the attackers who dropped to the ground, some even sustaining injuries.

"Where did this kid get a shotgun?! Did he steal the armory?! This is really weird!"

"Ah, he came from the armory! Quick, grab a gun!" someone shouted.

Lin Yupeng continued firing, but unfortunately, he wasn't very good with a shotgun; his accuracy was poor, and he had only brought ten bullets, which he quickly ran out of.

He angrily slammed the gun to the ground. Without bullets, even the most powerful weapon was just a pile of scrap metal, and carrying it slowed him down; it was better to throw it away.

Lin Yupeng swiftly pulled out his Type 79 pistol and began firing at Long Da's bandits. His accuracy with the pistol was truly exceptional; after all, he had practiced quite well before, but had never had a chance to use it in real combat.

Two screams rang out as two bandits fell to the ground, crying out in pain. Immediately afterward, Lin Yupeng felt a loud bang from the mound, dust billowing up. Someone had fired a shotgun in his direction, thankfully hitting the mound and not injuring him.

Lin Yupeng broke out in a cold sweat, secretly relieved. He quickly raised his hand and fired several more shots at the source of the initial volley, but there were simply too many of them. Before he could repel one group, another surged forward, bullets whizzing past his ears—it was like trying to hold down a gourd only to have another pop up.

He thought to himself, "I can't linger any longer, or I'll be dead!" With that thought, Lin Yupeng crouched down and secretly glanced back. He saw Qin Huaishan and his wife, along with Fan Qianqian, had already reached the top of the hill and were about to run down. Relieved, he quickly stood up, turned, and took off running. His legs moved with incredible speed, as if he had two more legs.

He fired back at his pursuers as he ran, not in a straight line, but in an S-shaped pattern to reduce the chance of being hit by bullets from behind—a technique Xiang Kui had taught him.

After a frantic run, they finally caught up with the "main force." Running down the hillside, they came to a fork in the road. Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed coldly as he pointed to the left fork and said sternly to Fan Qianqian and Qin Huaishan, "You three run down this fork! I'll run to the right and lure those pursuers this way, then you can escape!"

(Chapter 796: A Perilous Escape

)

Qin Huaishan's face showed gratitude and worry as he asked anxiously, "Teacher Lin, what will you do if we leave? Those people will...kill you!"

Lin Yupeng noticed that Long Da's men had already reached the top of the hill, and the situation was extremely critical. He urgently said, "You guys go! Hurry, don't worry about me! After you escape, go to Yanjing City and find the Tianqiong Group. Tell them I sent you!" With that, he waved to Qin Huaishan, then turned around and opened fire on the bandits on the hillside.

Two more bandits fell to the ground, shot. Lin Yupeng's marksmanship was surprisingly good today; he wasn't sure if it was just luck. Seeing the critical situation, Qin Huaishan, along with his wife Xue Man and Fan Qianqian, ran towards the left fork in the road.

Lin Yupeng felt relieved and, while fighting his way back, ran towards the right fork. He had only run a few steps when he saw a figure staggering towards him. Upon closer inspection, it was Fan Qianqian.

"Qianqian, are you crazy? Why are you following me?" Lin Yupeng shouted, his eyes bloodshot with anxiety.

Fan Qianqian's beautiful eyes shone with determination. She pouted her rosy lips and said coquettishly, "I'm following you! I don't want you to die alone. Do you think I'm a burden?"

Lin Yupeng smiled wryly, "You're going to die anyway, aren't you? This is great, I'm losing one and getting another one killed!" With that, he fired two shots haphazardly in the direction the bandits had come from, then quickly reloaded.

Fan Qianqian raised her eyes and sneered, "Do you think Uncle Qin is safe running down that side road? There are so many of them, can't they spare a few to chase them separately?"

Lin Yupeng sighed, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "We can't worry about that now. I have to find a way to lure everyone this way!"

With that, he grabbed Fan Qianqian's hand and ran towards the side road while firing back. Sure enough, the bandits rushed towards them. Because of the cover of night, both sides lost their aim, and gunfire erupted, but no one was hit.

After running for a while, Lin Yupeng realized that the gunfire was following him. He knew the bandits were definitely catching up. He looked around; the path was flanked by woods.

It was already winter; the branches were bare, devoid of leaves. He thought to himself, "If I run down here, I'll definitely be caught, or I'll get shot. I'd better take advantage of the darkness and go into the woods! Maybe there's still a chance!"

"Qianqian, come with me!" Having made up his mind, Lin Yupeng grabbed Fan Qianqian's hand and quickly ran into the woods. Fortunately, it hadn't snowed recently, and there was no snow on the ground, greatly reducing Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian's chances of escape; otherwise, the bandits could have easily tracked them down by following their footprints.

The two ran into the woods, hurrying along. After running for a while, Fan Qianqian's steps became unsteady, and she gasped, "Brother Lin, I... I really can't run anymore, what should I do?"

Women are naturally not as physically strong as men, and with a cold and fever, it was already quite an achievement for Fan Qianqian to have lasted this long. Hearing this, Lin Yupeng didn't hesitate and quickly bent down, saying anxiously to her, "Qianqian, I'll carry you! Climb on top of me."

Fan Qianqian bit her lip lightly, nodded, and said sweetly, "Brother Lin, thank you for your hard work!" After this ordeal, her spoiled temper had subsided a bit, and she had started to speak politely.

Just as she was about to climb onto Lin Yupeng, he suddenly turned around sharply and said seriously, "No, if I carry you and a bullet comes, wouldn't that be using you as a shield? I, Lin Yupeng, can't do such a thing. Forget it, I'll carry you and run!"

Without waiting for Fan Qianqian's agreement, he picked her up and ran quickly into the depths of the woods.

Fan Qianqian's beautiful eyes shone with gratitude, and she was unusually docile. She had only ever seen such dangerous situations in TV dramas and novels before; now that it was happening in real life, she was a little stunned.

The faint starlight illuminated her exquisitely beautiful face, which was faintly flushed with a charming blush.

Suddenly, three gunshots rang out. A small tree on either side of Lin Yupeng was hit by bullets and shook violently. Lin Yupeng's heart skipped a beat; he thought, "Damn it, those guys are charging into the woods!"

He quickly grabbed Fan Qianqian and dashed to the side, avoiding the direction from which the bullets had come. He continued running frantically, not knowing how long he ran. The gunshots gradually subsided, but he was still in danger.

Suddenly, Lin Yupeng felt a sharp "thud" on the top of his head. At first, he thought he'd been shot, but then he almost laughed. If he'd been shot, he'd be dead already! And who gets shot in the top of their head? He glanced carefully at the ground and realized it was hail falling from the mountains.

Mountain weather is unpredictable, especially on Phoenix Mountain, which is at a high altitude. Rain, snow, and hail are common occurrences. Just as Lin Yupeng's thought crossed his mind, the rain and hail intensified.

Lin Yupeng felt anxious because Fan Qianqian already had a cold and fever. If she were to be drenched and beaten by rain and hail, how could she possibly survive? He had to find a place to take shelter from the rain as soon as possible!

He glanced at Fan Qianqian in his arms and saw that her eyes were closed, as if she had already fallen asleep. Her long, beautiful eyelashes were covered with a layer of mist and haze, and her delicate cheeks were flushed with an unnatural pink.

Lin Yupeng scanned his surroundings and suddenly spotted a small cave not far ahead. There was a pile of withered grass at the entrance. He quickly picked up Fan Qianqian and rushed inside.

The cave wasn't large, only about four or five square meters, enough for temporary shelter. Lin Yupeng first put Fan Qianqian inside, then went to the entrance and gathered a large bundle of withered grass, piling it haphazardly at the entrance as cover. With the darkness and the withered grass, it would be harder for outsiders to find them, and the grass would also protect them from the cold wind.

Lin Yupeng entered the cave again, picked up the semi-conscious Fan Qianqian, placed a pile of dry grass under her, and looked at her youthful and beautiful face, softly calling, "Qianqian, wake up! Qianqian!"

Fan Qianqian struggled to open her beautiful eyes, her gaze hazy and unfocused, and murmured, "Where am I?"

Lin Yupeng said gently, "Qianqian, we're in a cave. If we just get through this night, we'll be safe! You must pull yourself together!"

Fan Qianqian smiled sadly. She felt dizzy and lightheaded, her throat burning unbearably, and her whole body was chilled. Her rosy, tender lips trembled as she whispered, "Brother Lin, I'm so cold! Please hold me tight!"

(Chapter 797: It

's All the Little Snake's Fault)

Lin Yupeng saw a few beads of cold sweat on her forehead, knowing her condition had worsened. His heart ached, and he opened his arms, tightly holding Fan Qianqian in his embrace, feeling her shivering.

"Brother Lin, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep..." Fan Qianqian murmured, her cheeks burning red, nestled in Lin Yupeng's arms.

"You can't sleep! Qianqian, you must hold on! It's so cold; if you fall asleep, you might never wake up again!" Lin Yupeng's face hardened; he couldn't bear to continue. Fan Qianqian had a severe cold and a high fever; if she fell asleep in this cold cave, she might never wake up again!

Dawn was breaking, a pale, fish-belly white tinged the eastern horizon, but the rain and hail outside were pouring down harder and harder, showing no sign of stopping.

Fan Qianqian nestled in Lin Yupeng's arms like a Persian cat, her delicate body curled up, trembling slightly. She strained to open her eyes wide and said in a soft voice, "Brother Lin, I'm so sleepy, I'm afraid I can't stay awake any longer..."

Suddenly, she screamed "Ah!" startling Lin Yupeng.

"Qianqian, what's wrong?" Lin Yupeng asked anxiously, his heart pounding.

Fan Qianqian's clear, beautiful eyes were filled with terror as she stared intently at the cave entrance, her face pale with fright. She cried out, "Snake! Snake! There's a snake at the cave entrance!"

Lin Yupeng focused his gaze on the entrance and saw a small snake, about half a meter long, with a bluish-green body and black markings, and a dark yellow head, wriggling at the entrance.

It's winter, and snakes should be hibernating. This little snake was probably woken up by Lin Yupeng when he was gathering dry grass. Lin Yupeng recognized it as a non-venomous grass snake and felt relieved. He quickly and gently comforted her, "Qianqian, don't be afraid, it's just a grass snake, it's not poisonous!"

Startled by the grass snake, Fan Qianqian perked up a bit, but girls are naturally afraid of snakes and small animals like mice, and her face still showed fear. She said in a trembling voice, "Brother Lin, please chase it away! I'm so scared!"

Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly and frantically searched for stones or something similar, but the little snake seemed to understand him. Not wanting Lin Yupeng to waste his effort, it slithered away from its burrow.

"Qianqian, don't be afraid, the little snake is gone!" Lin Yupeng said softly, holding Fan Qianqian in his arms.

Fan Qianqian smiled sweetly, nestled in his arms, and asked in a soft voice, "Brother Lin, how long will the rain last? I'm so scared, I want to go home..."

Lin Yupeng gazed at her exquisitely beautiful face and said gently, "Qianqian, I'll take you home when the rain stops. You must hang in there! Hehe, we haven't bought you that dress I got dirty yet!" He had to keep her awake by chatting, to keep her focused, so she wouldn't fall asleep.

Fan Qianqian smiled faintly, a mischievous glint in her beautiful eyes, and said sweetly, "Hehe, you can't buy it. That dress is a brand-name dress that my dad asked someone to buy abroad. It's not sold in China."

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "Then I'll ask someone to buy it abroad!"

A wave of drowsiness washed over Fan Qianqian. She seemed not to have heard Lin Yupeng's words. Her eyelids drooped, and she said in a panic, "Brother Lin, I'm so sleepy. I'm afraid I'm really going to fall asleep!"

Lin Yupeng gently shook Fan Qianqian's shoulder and said urgently, "No, Qianqian, don't sleep. It will worsen your condition!"

"But... I'm really too sleepy!" Fan Qianqian's pretty face flushed red, and her eyes gradually closed.

Lin Yupeng remembered how the little snake had startled her earlier, making her alert for a moment. He chuckled dryly and continued to tease her, "Qianqian, the little snake is here again!"

Fan Qianqian jumped in fright, quickly opening her small, beady eyes. She circled the cave, but didn't see a snake. She immediately realized Lin Yupeng was just teasing her. She glared at him, puffed out her cheeks, and playfully punched him in the chest, saying coquettishly, "Brother Lin, you lied! You're so mean, so annoying… Waaah…"

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, holding her fragrant body, and said softly, "Qianqian, just hold on a little longer, don't fall asleep!"

Fan Qianqian pouted her rosy lips and nodded gently, but drowsiness overcame her, and her eyes began to close again.

At first, Lin Yupeng's use of snakes to scare her worked, but after a while, it became like the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Gradually, Fan Qianqian became "immune" to his scare tactics, so he had to change his methods, using words like "there are rats" or "there are cockroaches" to stimulate her, but these eventually became ineffective as well.

Fan Qianqian's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and Lin Yupeng grew anxious. Suddenly, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he said threateningly, "Little girl, if you really fall asleep, hehe, I'll bully you and take advantage of you!"

Fan Qianqian vaguely heard Lin Yupeng's words, and she quickly widened her eyes, a bright blush rising on her pretty face. She said coquettishly, "You dare? Don't bully me! You big bad guy, you big pervert!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes lingered on Fan Qianqian's sexy and alluring body, and he looked lecherous. This made Fan Qianqian perk up a bit, and she lightly punched Lin Yupeng's chest with her small fists, but with little strength, like a lover's caress.

"You big bad guy, don't look at me like that!" Fan Qianqian's cheeks flushed red, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness, she pouted and scolded playfully, but inside she was in a state of turmoil...

"Then you can't sleep, hehe, if you fall asleep, I'll have a chance!" Lin Yupeng stared at Fan Qianqian, grinning wickedly.

Her lips were full, red, tender, and smooth, and a lively, clever tongue was constantly moving behind her white teeth, making him want to restrain its movement with his own mouth. He couldn't help but recall the intoxicating feeling of their "accidental" sweet contact at the bowling alley, a memory still fresh in his mind, and his heart fluttered.

The rain outside continued to fall, which temporarily blocked the couple's escape route, but it also had one advantage: it hindered the search by Longda's people. After all, Phoenix Mountain was too big, and finding two people wouldn't be easy.

Fan Qianqian managed to stay awake for a while, but drowsiness washed over her again like a tide. Her delicate body trembled slightly in Lin Yupeng's arms, and her lovely eyes closed once more.

Lin Yupeng gently shook her, anxiously saying, "Qianqian, you can't sleep! It'll be dangerous for you to fall asleep in your current condition!"

Fan Qianqian whimpered softly, murmuring, "Sleepy, can I just sleep for a little while? Hold me tight, it's so cold..."

Chapter 798 Qianqian's

First Kiss

Lin Yupeng gazed at Fan Qianqian, watching her gradually close her beautiful eyes. Her long, delicate eyelashes fluttered gently, and tiny beads of sweat glistened on her small, exquisite nose. Her rosy, sensual lips trembled slightly, making her incredibly alluring.

Because of her rising body temperature, a captivating blush spread across her delicate, smooth face, her breathing quickened, and her burning lips began to dry...

"Qianqian, don't sleep, I'm going to kiss you!" Lin Yupeng continued to threaten in her ear. The delicate, orchid-like fragrance emanating from her body filled his nostrils, causing his heart to flutter again, and his body began to heat up.

Fan Qianqian vaguely heard Lin Yupeng's words, her eyes half-open and half-closed with difficulty. Her delicate body twisted, and she murmured, "So thirsty, water, water..." Soon, her consciousness became blurred.

Lin Yupeng hardened his heart, deciding to play the role of a lecherous wolf. He slowly lowered his head, bringing his face close to Fan Qianqian's pretty face, finally touching her hot and delicate cheeks. He gently licked and kissed them, trying to stimulate her nerves to wake her up, while also hoping the sweat from her excitement would lower her body temperature.

Fan Qianqian let out a soft moan, her body trembling slightly. She felt two soft, moist lips slowly moving on her cheeks, a ticklish, tingling sensation that was incredibly comfortable...

She realized that Lin Yupeng, this "lecherous wolf," was indeed taking advantage of her. Her spirits lifted, and she twisted her face, trying to escape his kiss.

But things didn't go as planned; her movement backfired, and her sexy, hot lips ended up pressed against Lin Yupeng's.

Fan Qianqian's head went blank, her body went limp, and Lin Yupeng felt his lips touch a hot, slightly dry petal. He quickly transferred his saliva to her lips, and gradually they regained their freshness and tenderness. The moist, slippery feeling stimulated Lin Yupeng's lust, and he pressed his advantage, continuing his assault on her lips.

"Ah... he actually stole my first kiss... this big pervert... this bad guy!" Fan Qianqian, stimulated by Lin Yupeng's intense physical contact, had already regained her senses. Her heart was filled with shyness and confusion. She wanted to break free from his kiss, but she was also reluctant to give up the pleasure of their intertwined lips and tongues, and gradually they became entangled.

Confused and infatuated, Fan Qianqian awkwardly and stiffly accepted Lin Yupeng's tongue assault. Gradually, her defenses crumbled, and her delicate tongue relentlessly joined the attack.

Lin Yupeng began to relentlessly invade every corner of her mouth; her sensual lips were almost touching his nose. He used the tip of his tongue to scrape her lips, licking and sucking, transferring all the saliva in his mouth into hers.

Fan Qianqian shyly accepted the kisses, her cheeks flushed, her breasts heaving, waves of exquisite pleasure surging through their bodies.

Lin Yupeng's lust surged, and his hands joined the fray, caressing Fan Qianqian's delicate body. Touching her through the thick ski suit wasn't enough; his hands, like fish swimming, slipped inside her clothes, stroking her soft, fleshy form. A plausible reason arose in his mind: "I'm helping her blood circulate, otherwise she'll freeze."

This action did indeed have a blood-circulating effect, but more than anything, it was about taking advantage of Fan Qianqian, arousing her desire. His demonic claws had already begun their advance towards the girl's firm, beautiful breasts…

"Ah…no…wooo…" Fan Qianqian's pure and innocent body was being violated. Although the feeling was wonderful, the girl's shyness made her struggle.

Lin Yupeng stopped his assault, struggling to suppress his burning desire, and softly comforted her, "Qianqian, I didn't mean to. I just didn't want you to fall asleep; that would be dangerous!"

Fan Qianqian's pretty face flushed red, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a charming shyness. She glared at Lin Yupeng and said coquettishly, "You...you're so annoying! You're always bullying me! You're such a pervert...you're not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "I won't, I won't. Qianqian, just hold on a little longer!

I'll take you home when the rain gets lighter!"

With that, he glanced outside the cave, and indeed, the rain was getting lighter and lighter. It was already dawn, and the sun was about to rise below the horizon. This night of escape felt like a nightmare.

Fan Qianqian still felt sleepy, and whenever she was half-asleep, Lin Yupeng would use the same trick again, stimulating her senses with gentle kisses.

It's said that "true feelings are revealed in times of adversity," and indeed, true feelings can blossom even in hardship. Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian had endured over two days of life-or-death trials together, and a subtle, ambiguous affection had developed between them. Fan Qianqian's resistance to Lin Yupeng's kisses grew weaker and weaker, until she could only awkwardly reciprocate…

The two embraced in this ambiguous atmosphere. Finally, dawn broke, and the warm sunlight streamed through the gaps in the withered grass at the cave entrance, bringing a gentle breeze.

Fan Qianqian finally overcame her drowsiness and regained some of her energy. She nestled in Lin Yupeng's arms, her pretty face flushed. The memory of their passionate kisses filled her with a flurry of emotions.

"Qianqian, the rain has stopped, let's go!" Lin Yupeng said joyfully.

"Mmm!" Fan Qianqian nodded gently, feeling a sudden lightness as Lin Yupeng lifted her up in his arms again.

"Ah…no…I can walk!" Fan Qianqian smelled his strong masculine scent and, out of girlish shyness, struggled.

Lin Yupeng shook his head and said softly, "Qianqian, can you still walk like this? I'm afraid you'll slip and fall, so I'll carry you!" With that, he carried Fan Qianqian to the cave entrance, kicked aside the withered grass, and stepped out.

Fan Qianqian struggled symbolically for a moment, then nestled her head in Lin Yupeng's arms. After a night of passionate embraces, she had grown accustomed to the tender, warm feeling of lying in his arms.

Once out of the cave, Lin Yupeng's eyes gleamed. He looked around and realized they were in a dense forest. There seemed to be a mountain path to the northeast; if they could descend the mountain and find habitation, they could return to Yanjing City.

Of course, there was another possibility: they might be lost deep in the mountains, surrounded by uninhabited wilderness. But Lin Yupeng didn't want to think about the worst. As long as there was hope, he would take it one step at a time.

He carried Fan Qianqian and hurried out of the woods, extremely cautious and vigilant, worried that Long Da's men might suddenly appear, leading to another fierce battle.

Chapter 799: Making Fire by Drilling

Wood. Lin Yupeng carried Fan Qianqian and quickly descended the mountain path. He had only one thought in his mind: find someone quickly, stabilize Fan Qianqian's condition, and then contact Tianqiong Group and Lante Group.

However, things didn't go as planned. After descending the mountain, the surroundings were still deserted. It seemed they were truly deep in the mountains. He carried Fan Qianqian all morning without seeing a single person, though he did spot a few wild cats and rabbits.

Lin Yupeng grew increasingly anxious: "Encountering small animals is fine, but what if we encounter tigers or other wild beasts that don't hibernate? Wouldn't Qianqian and I become their meal?"

"Brother Lin, I'm so thirsty! Is there any water?" Fan Qianqian, her face flushed, murmured in her arms.

"Wait, let me look!" Lin Yupeng was also a little thirsty. If he didn't drink some water and eat something soon, even a superhuman like him would be exhausted.

He looked around and searched, and soon found a quiet, flowing stream.

Lin Yupeng carried Fan Qianqian to the stream. Without any water containers, they had to drink with their hands. Just as their thirst was quenched, hunger surged back. This was understandable; since being imprisoned in the stone cell, neither of them had eaten a proper meal. They had been tossing and turning all night and walking all morning; their stomachs were growling.

"Qianqian, are you hungry?" Lin Yupeng asked, gazing at Fan Qianqian with concern.

"Mmm! Brother Lin, are we going to die here in the mountains?" Fan Qianqian asked softly, her beautiful eyes filled with sorrow.

Lin Yupeng's face hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "No! Qianqian, we won't die!" He knew that at this moment, he had to have the will to keep going; otherwise, if one lost heart, it would all be over. He remembered the time he drifted in the Caribbean for three or four days, and it was only through sheer willpower that he survived. The environment then was far more treacherous than this.

Fan Qianqian smiled sweetly, the confidence in Lin Yupeng's tone infecting her and strengthening her will to live. She had already made him her only support.

To survive in these deep mountains, they needed to solve the problems of food and water. Water was easy to find—there were streams and snow on the hillsides—but the most important thing was food; food was the most essential thing for people.

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed as he looked around, inwardly regretting, "I should have shot a few rabbits when I saw them to fill my stomach. Sigh, all I could think about was how to escape these mountains!"

He continued walking aimlessly, carrying Fan Qianqian. Since he had come blindfolded, he had no idea which way was towards Yanjing City and could only rely on luck and chance.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before Lin Yupeng's eyes, and the wild rabbit he had been hoping for finally appeared. He gently placed Fan Qianqian on the ground, quickly pulled out his pistol from his pocket, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Will this shot attract the enemy?" But then he thought again: "Eating is the priority, why worry so much? There's not a soul in sight in this deep forest! I don't even know if I can hit it!"

He saw the small wild rabbit, brownish-red in color, running towards him with great speed and agility. Lin Yupeng pulled out his pistol, aimed at the rabbit, and pulled the trigger. "Bang!" The shot rang out, missing the rabbit but hitting a small rock nearby, sending fragments flying and dust billowing.

Startled, the rabbit immediately turned and ran in the opposite direction. Lin Yupeng continued firing, firing three more shots, one of which hit the rabbit in the abdomen, causing it to roll around on the ground.

His marksmanship was learned from Xiang Kui, a sharpshooter himself. Although he only learned the basics, shooting a wild rabbit wasn't difficult for him.

Lin Yupeng walked over, picked up the dying rabbit from the ground, and thought to himself, "Little rabbit, what bad luck! We're just too hungry!"

The rabbit struggled for a while before "dying" from excessive blood loss. Fan Qianqian, who had never seen such a bloody scene before, was terrified and turned her head away, unable to bear watching.

Now they had food—a wild rabbit—but the problem that followed was even more troublesome: how to eat it? Eating it raw was definitely out of the question; it wasn't the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood anymore, it would be hard to swallow! So they had to make a fire to roast it, but where would they get a fire?

Lin Yupeng never smoked; as a medical student, he knew the dangers of smoking, so he never carried a lighter. Even if he did, it would be confiscated by the Longda people. So how could they start a fire?

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he thought to himself, "Ah, I should learn from the primitive people how to make fire by friction!"

With that in mind, Lin Yupeng began searching for dry branches and leaves. He used large, thick branches as a drill board and small, sharp branches as a drill bit. This was the most primitive method of making fire, and also the most difficult, but in this harsh environment, it was the only way.

Once a fire was lit, he could roast rabbit meat, keep warm, and keep wild animals away—a win-win-win situation.

Fan Qianqian's beautiful eyes sparkled; she guessed that Lin Yupeng was going to try making fire by friction. She had only heard of this method in history books before; would it even work?

Lin Yupeng began to drill, his hands moving repeatedly. It was hard work, but Lin Yupeng had plenty of strength now. After half an hour, he finally produced fire. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly gathered branches and leaves, piling them up until a bonfire was finally lit.

He carried Fan Qianqian to the campfire to warm her. The red firelight illuminated her rosy cheeks, adding to her beauty and charm.

"Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to know so much!" Fan Qianqian nestled in Lin Yupeng's arms, smiling sweetly.

Lin Yupeng was skinning a wild rabbit, skewering it on a branch, and roasting the meat by the campfire. Seeing her radiant smile, his heart fluttered, and he asked with concern, "Qianqian, how are you feeling now?"

Fan Qianqian replied softly, "I'm better, I'm fine. I just feel dizzy, my head is all foggy, and I have no energy."

Lin Yupeng freed one hand to gently touch her forehead; it was still burning hot. It seemed her fever hadn't subsided. He quickly comforted her gently, "Qianqian, you just have a common cold. I'll give you some after you've eaten." "Give me a massage to relieve the pressure!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Qianqian's pretty face flushed crimson. Remembering the feeling of him touching her body last night, she thought he was going to take advantage of her again. Overwhelmed with shyness, she glared at him with her charming eyes and said coquettishly, "You big pervert! I won't let you massage me, you bad boy!"

(Chapter 800: Massage and Peeping)

Lin Yupeng knew she had misunderstood him. He chuckled and didn't explain further, continuing to roast the rabbit. After a while, the rabbit was finally cooked.

He tore off a meaty and delicious hind leg and handed it to Fan Qianqian, smiling, "Qianqian, eat some rabbit meat. If you're full and have strength, we can go home faster!"

Having endured so much hardship, Fan Qianqian no longer acted like a spoiled princess. She obediently nodded, took the rabbit leg, and barely ate a few bites before giving up.

Girls are naturally small eaters, and with this illness, she really didn't have much of an appetite. Encouraged by Lin Yupeng, Fan Qianqian ate a couple more bites and then returned the rest of the rabbit meat to him.

Lin Yupeng, however, was truly hungry. He wolfed down the rest of the rabbit leg meat, then tore off a hind leg and two front legs, stuffing them into his pocket to save for later. The rest of the rabbit body was mostly bones; wild rabbits have difficulty finding food in winter, and irregular meals wouldn't allow them to gain weight.

After this hasty picnic, Lin Yupeng decided to rest for a while to recharge his energy and continue searching for a way out. He also wanted to use massage to help alleviate Fan Qianqian's symptoms.

Lin Yupeng was quite skilled in massage, especially acupressure. Generally, in the early stages of a cold, pressing the "Hegu" and "Lieque" acupoints on both hands can help prevent the illness from worsening and relieve pain.

Although Fan Qianqian's condition is now in the middle stage, massaging these two acupoints will still benefit her. The Hegu acupoint can clear the mind, release lung qi, and detoxify and clear heat; the Lieque acupoint can promote lung function and dispel wind.

Lin Yupeng gently took Fan Qianqian's soft, delicate hand and said softly, "I'm going to massage you now. Don't move around, cooperate a little."

Fan Qianqian's pretty face flushed slightly, and she blinked her clear, beautiful eyes, asking sweetly, "Brother Lin, you...you're only massaging my hands?"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "What, you want me to massage other places for you?"

Fan Qianqian's cheeks turned red, and she glared at him, saying coquettishly, "You're so annoying! I'm just afraid you'll bully me, you big pervert!"

Lin Yupeng straightened his face and said seriously, "Put your thumbs and index fingers together, I'm going to find the acupoints!"

Fan Qianqian was indeed obedient. She put her slender hands together. Her hands were beautiful, snow-white as spring onions, crystal clear, and you could faintly see the veins and tendons inside.

Lin Yupeng accurately found the "Hegu" acupoint and gently pressed it. After massaging for a while, he moved to the "Lieque" acupoint on both of her hands and continued massaging.

Fan Qianqian's slender and beautiful hands were delicate and smooth, like solidified jade. With Lin Yupeng's rhythmic pressing, waves of electric-like heat spread from her palms throughout her body. She felt a sense of comfort throughout her body, and two rosy clouds quickly rose to her cheeks.

After a while, Lin Yupeng finished the massage and smiled as he asked Fan Qianqian, "Qianqian, how are you feeling now?"

Fan Qianqian smiled sweetly and said in a coquettish voice, "You massaged me so well..." She was about to say "comfortable," but suddenly felt that the word was too ambiguous, and her pretty face flushed. She immediately changed her words and said coquettishly, "It hurts! You're so naughty, always trying to take advantage of me, I hate you!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled. Actually, he could guess what she was going to say, but he didn't want to argue with her anymore. The most important thing now was to escape from the deep mountains. If they stayed in these mountains forever, would they turn into wild men?

"Qianqian, let's go! Let's find our way home!" Lin Yupeng gazed at Fan Qianqian and said with concern.

A blush crept onto Fan Qianqian's cheeks, her beautiful eyes shimmering with ambiguous allure. Her expression was slightly strange as she murmured, "Brother Lin, could you help me…?"

Lin Yupeng felt a strange familiarity with her expression and hurriedly asked with concern, "Qianqian, what do you need me to do?"

Fan Qianqian gently bit her rosy lips and stammered, "You know, that…!"

Looking at her flushed face, Lin Yupeng suddenly remembered helping her relieve herself in the stone cell. He chuckled and asked seriously, "Do you need to relieve yourself?" He thought to himself, "This girl's metabolism is pretty fast! This means her vital signs are still normal, and she's not in immediate danger."

Fan Qianqian nodded vigorously, her face as red as a ripe apple.

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily, "Then let's take care of it right here! Can you even squat down in your current state?"

Fan Qianqian's beautiful eyes sparkled with shyness as she said in a bashful voice, "I'm dizzy and my whole body is weak; I'm afraid I can't squat!"

It's so troublesome for women to relieve themselves; they have to squat down, unbuckle their belts, and expose their buttocks, unlike men who can just pull out their "tools" from the front and do it quickly and conveniently.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, adopting a generous air, and said seriously, "Then how about I carry you on my back like last time? How about that?"

Hearing this, Fan Qianqian gave him a shy glare, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, her eyes raised, and she said irritably, "Carry you my foot! Last time…last time there was a toilet, wasn't there? This is outdoors; if you carried me…aren't you afraid of getting your pants dirty?" As she finished speaking, she lowered her head, her voice growing weaker and weaker until it was almost inaudible.

Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly, somewhat at a loss, and said, "Qianqian, what should I do?"

Fan Qianqian's pretty face turned even redder. She pouted her luscious lips and hesitated for a long time before finally saying softly, "Brother Lin, can you hold me...?" Then, overcome with embarrassment, she glared at him with her captivating eyes and warned sternly, "You...

you're not allowed to look down! If I find out, I'll never forgive you!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly, "Don't worry! I won't look, okay? It's not like I haven't seen it before!"

Fan Qianqian was stunned, her face flushed crimson. She stared at Lin Yupeng, her eyes wide with surprise and shyness, and said, "You... what did you say? When... did you see it? Tell me the truth! Waaah..." She remembered that last night when they were embracing, Lin Yupeng had touched her body. Could it be that he had secretly looked at her body while she was drowsy? The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she became, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

Lin Yupeng realized she had misunderstood him and quickly straightened up, saying, "You misunderstood me!

I used to be a teacher at a medical university, teaching human anatomy. What I meant was that I've seen and even talked about women's bodies before! It's nothing new anymore, hehe. Don't worry! I won't peek at you."

Fan Qianqian retorted coquettishly, "Don't explain, you're such a pervert!" Despite her words, she still needed Lin Yupeng to urinate, so she pulled out the pack of sanitary napkins from her pocket and handed it to him.

Chapter 801 Carrying a Beauty While Strolling Through the Mountains

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, took the sanitary napkin, and held it in his hand. Then, he spread his arms and lifted her legs, raising her body a meter off the ground. He said seriously, "Qianqian, hurry up and use the restroom!"

Fan Qianqian's cheeks flushed red. She looked around warily and said with concern, "Brother Lin, what if someone sees us? That would be so embarrassing!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled dryly, "Qianqian, don't worry! There's definitely no one around. If someone does, we can ask them for directions, and we'll be saved!"

Fan Qianqian glared at him irritably and said sternly, "You... close your eyes! Open them only after I'm done!"

"Okay! Hurry up!" Lin Yupeng closed his eyes as instructed, only to feel Fan Qianqian's small hands slowly unbuttoning her pants pockets. Because their bodies were so close, even without opening his eyes, he could feel that quite a while had passed, but Fan Qianqian still hadn't said "I'm done." Lin Yupeng was puzzled and quickly asked in a deep voice, "Qianqian, are you done?"

He couldn't help but open his eyes. Oh no! Fan Qianqian had just finished urinating and was gently wiping her lower body with a sanitary napkin. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the snow-white, smooth, and delicate skin on the inside of her jade-like thighs, and a glimpse of the mysterious forest...

"Almost there! Wait a little longer!" Fan Qianqian was still wiping her lower body, her head down, unaware of Lin Yupeng's burning gaze. If she caught a glimpse of herself being seen naked by him, she would be mortified.

Lin Yupeng quickly closed his eyes, recalling the beautiful place he had just glimpsed. His heart fluttered, and he heard Fan Qianqian's clear and melodious voice in his ear. She whispered, "Brother Lin, all done!"

"Hmm!" Lin Yupeng opened his eyes and saw that Fan Qianqian was already dressed, her pretty face flushed like the morning sun. She had never relieved herself like this in public before, especially with a grown man holding her. It was so embarrassing! Even though Lin Yupeng kept saying he wouldn't look at her, who could guarantee that his eyes wouldn't wander down her face? Fan Qianqian didn't dare to think any further; her heart pounded wildly.

Lin Yupeng chuckled, gently placing her on the dry grass. He turned back to blaze the campfire in his face, reloaded his pistol, put it back in his pocket, then turned and picked her up again, smiling, "Qianqian, let's go!"

Fan Qianqian nodded obediently, letting Lin Yupeng carry her through the deep mountains and forests, searching for a path out. Carrying a beautiful woman through the mountains—if they hadn't gotten lost, it would have been quite an experience.

They walked all afternoon without seeing a soul. Fortunately, the weather was nice today, clear skies and a relatively warm temperature.

As Lin Yupeng walked, he secretly worried, "How long will it take to get out? Am I really going to have to live like a savage?"

Just then, a dark figure rushed towards him. Upon closer inspection, Lin Yupeng was both surprised and delighted! To his delight, he finally saw a living person. A man in his thirties was running towards him, wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, an old sheepskin hat, and gloves. To his surprise, the man was carrying a hunting rifle and was charging towards him.

"Could he be one of Long Da's men?" Lin Yupeng wondered, and, feeling cautious, he placed Fan Qianqian behind a small mound, pulled out his pistol, and focused his gaze warily on the man.

This time he could see more clearly. The man was running while turning and firing behind him, and about a hundred meters behind him, a wild boar was charging rapidly towards him. Lin Yupeng felt relieved; he had encountered a hunter.

The wild boar was greyish-black, robust with short, thick limbs, a relatively long head, small, erect ears, four toes on each foot (two middle toes touching the ground), a thin, short tail, and two protruding, upward-curving upper canines resembling tusks—sharp, menacing, and terrifying.

The boar had been shot twice, blood gushing from its wounds, but its thick hide meant the shots weren't fatal. The flowers only fueled its ferocity;

the bristles on its neck stood erect like steel spikes, and it charged madly at the hunter, closing the distance to about fifty meters in an instant.

The hunter continued firing; two more shots struck the boar's abdomen, but neither was fatal. The boar continued its rampage, its speed increasing.

Seeing this, Fan Qianqian's pretty face showed terror. The events of the past few days had been incredibly dangerous, and Lin Yupeng felt the same way. But if they didn't act now, the hunter might be gored to death by the wild boar.

Thinking of this, Lin Yupeng saw that the wild boar was less than twenty meters from the mound where he was hiding, right within the optimal range of his pistol. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and fired a burst of bullets. Five shots hit the wild boar's body, and blood gushed out.

The pistol was much more effective than the hunting rifle because it was automatic, unlike the hunting rifle which required reloading after each shot. With the more primitive hunting rifle, you had to reload first. So, the hunter had only managed to hit the boar four times in all that running.

Although the wild boar was thick-skinned and extremely ferocious, it was riddled with bullets, its body like a sieve. It let out a miserable howl, collapsed to the ground with a thud, convulsed, and bled profusely. It didn't move for long.

The hunter gasped for breath; despite the cold weather, he was drenched in sweat as if he'd been caught in a downpour. After the wild boar stopped moving, he cautiously approached it and poked it a few times with his rifle to confirm it was dead. Only then did he let out a long sigh, turn to Lin Yupeng beside the mound, grin, and say gratefully, "Brother, thank you for saving my life! If you hadn't fired in time, I probably would have lost my life. That beast was truly ferocious!"

Seeing that the other party meant him no harm, Lin Yupeng put the gun in his pocket and smiled, "Brother, you're too kind! That beast was after me too. If I didn't kill it, it would have been bitten to death sooner or later, haha!"

The hunter, seeing Lin Yupeng's sincere and forthright manner, smiled slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Brother, perhaps I shouldn't ask, but how do you have such a gun, and in this deep mountain forest? Are you here hunting too?"

Lin Yupeng shook his head and smiled, "That gun was a gift from a friend. Actually, I was just exploring Phoenix Mountain, but I got lost and stumbled upon you by chance!" He could only make up a lie now, and it was reasonably plausible.

The hunter nodded. Phoenix Mountain was so vast; getting lost was commonplace. Even an experienced hunter like him, who had spent so much time hunting in the mountains, sometimes got confused.

Chapter 802 Phoenix Town

The hunter laughed heartily at Lin Yupeng, "So that's how it is! Brother, come with me! I'll take you out of the mountains!"

"Thank you!" Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, turned around, walked behind the mound, and picked up Fan Qianqian.

"And this is?" The hunter only then noticed Fan Qianqian and asked casually.

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said seriously, "She's my...girlfriend. She came with me on this trip."

When Fan Qianqian heard Lin Yupeng say that she was his girlfriend, a charming blush immediately rose on her delicate face. She couldn't feel any resistance, and even felt a little sweet. She quickly curled up and buried her head in his arms.

Hearing this, the hunter sighed, "Alas, in the dead of winter, there's nothing fun to do besides skiing! You should come in spring or summer..." He then suddenly remembered something, stared at Lin Yupeng, and sneered, "Look at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Chang Fu, Fu as in wealth and honor, and I live in Phoenix Town at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. What's your name, brother?"

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Chang, my name is Lin Yupeng, and I'm a teacher!"

He deliberately concealed his true identity, casually mentioning a profession he had previously held.

Upon hearing that Lin Yupeng was a teacher, Chang Fu immediately felt a sense of respect. The most sacred profession under the sun! He laughed heartily, "Hehe, then I'll call you Teacher Lin!" But inwardly, he muttered suspiciously, "This guy is really strange. A teacher who can handle guns? Is he from a police academy?"

Seeing that Lin Yupeng was unwilling to elaborate, Chang Fu didn't press the matter. After all, Lin Yupeng had just saved his life, making him his benefactor.

"Brother Chang, what should we do with this wild boar?" Lin Yupeng glanced at the dead boar on the ground and asked in a deep voice.

Chang Fu smiled and said, "Easy, I'll tie it up with a rope and drag it back! This boar weighs at least 200 jin today, hehe, besides a good meal, we can sell the remaining meat and skin for some money!"

As he spoke, he took out a rope from the cloth bag on his back, tied the dead boar up, and then pulled hard on it. Chang Fu was truly a natural hunter; he was very strong and pulled the 200-jin boar without much effort. Along the way, he chatted and laughed with Lin Yupeng, talking incessantly about the various beautiful sights and wonders of Phoenix Mountain. It was clear that he was a rough and forthright person, and quite talkative.

Lin Yupeng was most concerned about the distance between Phoenix Town and Yanjing City, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Chang, how long does it take to get from Phoenix Town to Yanjing City by car?" Chang Fu pondered for a moment and said, "That's quite far. Phoenix Mountain stretches for more than ten kilometers. Yanjing City is at the far west, and Phoenix Town is at the far east. If you want to get back to the city, it will take at least five or six hours by car, and you'll have to drive on a winding mountain road. It's been raining and snowing quite frequently lately, so the road isn't very good!"

Hearing this, Lin Yupeng looked up at the sky. The sun was already setting and was about to reach the horizon. The sky was a deep red, and the afterglow made the surrounding clouds look as if they had been painted with rouge, a truly magnificent sight.

"Brother Chang, how much longer until we get to Phoenix Town?" Lin Yupeng asked again in a deep voice.

Chang Fu replied, "It'll probably take another hour or so! I'm taking the shortest route!"

Lin Yupeng pondered, "By the time we get to Phoenix Town, it'll probably be dark! We probably won't get back to Yanjing City until midnight!" Chang

Fu paused, then said seriously, "Teacher Lin, are you going back to Yanjing City tonight? Is it urgent?"

Lin Yupeng nodded, "Yes! We've been out of contact with the outside world, and I'm worried about my family."

Chang Fu looked troubled, "I'm afraid we can't get back tonight. There was a heavy snowfall on the highway from Phoenix Town to Yanjing City last night, and there was a multi-vehicle collision. The road is closed now and probably won't reopen until tomorrow."

Lin Yupeng sighed, "Then we'll have to stay in Phoenix Town for the night. Are there any hotels there?" As soon as he said it, he realized a serious problem—he and Fan Qianqian had no money on them; it had all been taken. How could they afford a hotel?

Just then, Chang Fu chuckled and said, "Teacher Lin, aren't you being too polite? Why stay in a hotel? There aren't any in town. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house!"

Lin Yupeng said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Chang, hehe!" He thought to himself, "Luckily, I met such a kind person, otherwise I really would have had to sleep on the streets!"

Chang Fu led Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian along a mountain path for an hour, finally arriving at Phoenix Town at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. Although it was called a town, it was actually about the size of a large village, with more than fifty households and two main streets. The streets were relatively clean and tidy, and the people were quite simple and honest. It was almost dusk, and the sky was getting darker.

Along the way, the townspeople all looked on with envy when they saw Chang Fu dragging a large wild boar back. Besides farming, the townspeople mostly hunted, and Chang Fu was a renowned hunter in the area.

"Old man, open the door! I'm home!" Reaching his doorstep, Chang Fu gently knocked. "Old man" is a local slang term, roughly equivalent to "old partner."

A short while later, the door opened, and a woman in her early thirties stood inside. A mountain woman, she was simply dressed, with a slightly dark complexion. Tall and slender, though only about 1.65 meters, she stood out in the town. She had glossy black hair and a pretty face; she was quite attractive.

When the woman saw Chang Fu dragging a large wild boar, her face lit up with surprise and delight. "Husband, did you hunt this wild boar? It's not easy to hunt a wild boar in the dead of winter!" As she spoke, a look of worry appeared on her face. She looked Chang Fu up and down and asked with concern, "Are you hurt? You should hunt smaller game next time!"

Chang Fu smiled and said, "I'm fine, haha. I met two friends in the mountains who got lost and need to stay at our house for the night!"

After saying that, he turned and pointed to Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian behind him. At this time, Fan Qianqian had already left Lin Yupeng's arms and could barely stand up.

When Chang Fu's wife heard that he had brought two strangers, a look of doubt appeared on her face. Knowing her concerns, Chang Fu quickly explained, "If it weren't for them, I probably would have been killed by the wild boar!"

He recounted how he had been chased by a wild boar in the deep mountains and how Lin Yupeng had saved him with a gun. Upon hearing that Lin Yupeng was her husband's savior, Chang Fu's wife put aside her worries and warmly welcomed them.

"Is this young lady sick?" Chang Fu's wife asked with concern, glancing at Fan Qianqian for a few moments.

Lin Yupeng nodded and said, "Yes, I've caught a cold. Sister-

in-law , could you please make

me a bowl of ginger soup?" Chang Fu's wife smiled and said, "Teacher Lin, don't be so polite! You saved Old Chang, you're our family's benefactor. Your wife's illness isn't cured by ginger soup. I'll go to the neighbor's to get some cold medicine later!"

Fan Qianqian's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head slightly, her heart pounding. She thought to herself, "Who's his wife? How annoying! This big lecher has taken all the benefits!"

Lin Yupeng glanced at her... Fan Qianqian, her eyes filled with a shy charm, chuckled and turned to Chang Fu's wife, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law!"

Chang Fu's house consisted of two single-story rooms, with the kitchen in the yard and three acres of thin farmland behind the house. Chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry were raised in the yard—a typical rural farmhouse. After tidying up the house, Chang Fu invited Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian in. The furnishings were quite simple: a double bed with newly changed bedding; a wooden table, two chairs, an old-fashioned wardrobe, and a sewing machine.

"Hehe, you can stay in this room tonight! It's a bit simple, I apologize!" Chang Fu was as polite as ever.

Fan Qianqian glanced at the room and saw there was only one bed. A bright blush immediately rose to her pretty face, her heart pounding. She stole a glance at Lin Yupeng, thinking to herself, "How can we sleep in just one bed? Are we going to have to share one? How embarrassing! I should have said I wasn't his girlfriend earlier! Will he treat me like he did last night… or even worse…? What should I do?"

Chang Fu, oblivious to Fan Qianqian's thoughts, thought his plan was perfectly reasonable. He'd heard that city people were quite open-minded, not conservative in their relationships, and many had premarital sex and children. Seeing how intimate Lin Yupeng and Fan Qianqian were, he figured they might already be having sex!

It was too late for Fan Qianqian to refuse to sleep in this room now; everything had been arranged. Lin Yupeng, quick-witted as ever, saw the strange yet shy expression on her pretty face and knew what she was thinking. He chuckled and whispered in her ear, "Qianqian, what are you thinking about?"

Fan Qianqian blushed, rolled her eyes at him, and lightly punched his chest, saying coquettishly, "I wasn't thinking about anything! You're so annoying, you're not allowed to bully me tonight! I'm warning you again!" Chang Fu had already left, and there was no one else in the room, which was why she dared to be so presumptuous.

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, took her slender hand, and lifted her onto the bed, saying softly, "I won't bully you! But you have to be obedient!"

With that, he reached out to unbutton her ski suit… Fan Qianqian's delicate cheeks flushed a cherry-like red. She pressed down hard on Lin Yupeng's large hands, glaring at him with her captivating eyes, and said coquettishly, "What are you doing? You just promised not to bully me, are you going to say something like that…?" Although she was both ashamed and anxious, she didn't utter the unseemly word.

Lin Yupeng feigned grievance, saying, "Qianqian, it's so uncomfortable to sleep in such thick clothes! I just wanted to help you take off your coat, what are you thinking? Such a young age, and your thoughts are so complicated!"

Fan Qianqian's cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly, "You're so annoying! I can take it off myself! Turn around, don't peek!"

Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, "This girl's being secretive again. Last night she was kissing and cuddling with me, and during the day she even let me hold her while she relieved herself. She's deliberately being coy! That must be it!"

Thinking this, he obediently turned around and whispered, "Hurry up and take it off, remember to cover yourself with the blanket, otherwise I'll still see..."

"Okay, you big pervert!" Fan Qianqian said coquettishly, but there was no blame in her tone; it was more like a lover's playful banter. After a while, she said softly, "All done!"

Lin Yupeng turned around and saw that Fan Qianqian had taken off her ski suit, her delicate body covered by a large quilt, revealing only her pretty and lovely face. Her bright and charming eyes, like clear springs, blinked, revealing a shy and dreamy look.

Not long after, Chang Fu's wife brought in steaming ginger soup and some cold medicine she had gotten from a neighbor, gently placing it on the table.

Lin Yupeng smiled and said "thank you," picked up the cold medicine, and saw that it was a very common fast-acting cold capsule. Seeing that the expiration date was still valid, he had Fan Qianqian take the medicine with the ginger soup.

A little while later, Chang Fu brought in dinner: rice, steamed buns, millet porridge, and braised pork made from the wild boar.

Lin Yupeng smiled slightly, then suddenly remembered something and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Chang, do you have a phone at home? I want to make a call!" He needed to contact the Tianqiong Group as soon as possible; he had been missing for three days, and his home was probably in complete chaos.

Chang Fu replied apologetically, "No! How about I get you a cell phone from my neighbor Zhao Tiechui? He often goes to the city for business and has several cell phones!"

Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright then, thank you!"

Chang Fu turned and left, returning shortly with a Nokia phone. Lin Yupeng picked up the phone and dialed Jin Taiwei Captain Li Zhanbo's number: "Uncle Li, this is Lin Yupeng..."

Before he could finish, Li Zhanbo urgently asked, "President Lin, where are you?"

Lin Yupeng replied in a deep voice, "I'm in Phoenix Town, now..." "The roads are blocked by heavy snow, please send a car to pick me up tomorrow! How's the situation at home these past few days? Has anyone called demanding a ransom?"

Li Zhanbo said solemnly, "Yes, the night you disappeared, someone called saying you were in their hands and demanding a ransom of ten million!"

Lin Yupeng cursed inwardly, "Damn it, they're really asking for the moon!" He hurriedly asked in a deep voice, "Have you paid the ransom?"

Li Zhanbo said, "Not yet. We agreed to pay the kidnappers and negotiated several meeting places, but they're very cunning and haven't shown up. There was no movement all day yesterday. Mr. Lin, what exactly happened?"

Lin Yupeng briefly recounted what had happened, then said seriously, "I know those people. They're Long Da, who used to dominate the underworld in Tianhan City, and his sister Long Ping."

Li Zhanbo said, "I know. Ever since you disappeared at the ski resort, we've searched the area with our men, but we haven't found you! We suspect someone at the ski resort is colluding with the kidnappers, but we don't have any evidence!"

Lin Yupeng said in a deep voice, "We'll investigate this later! Send a car to pick me up tomorrow. It's at Chang Fu's house at the east end of Phoenix Town. You can find out the exact location yourselves!"

Li Zhanbo responded and hung up the phone. Lin Yupeng remembered that Fan Qianqian's family must be extremely anxious, so he dialed Fan Qixuan's phone number from memory.

(Chapter 804: Cute and Charming)

Because Lin Yupeng's phone had been confiscated by Long Da's men, luckily he had an excellent memory and remembered the numbers of several acquaintances; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to contact Li Zhanbo and Fan Qixuan.

"Hello, who is this?" Fan Qixuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, slightly hoarse, probably from worrying about his sister's disappearance these past few days.

Lin Yupeng said, "Brother Qixuan, this is Lin Yupeng. Let me finish! Your sister Qianqian and I are safe and sound in Phoenix Town!"

Fan Qixuan said with surprise, "Really? Where have you been these past few days? A couple of days ago, someone called saying they kidnapped my sister and wanted a ransom. The same thing happened with Tianqiong Group. What's going on?"

Lin Yupeng asked anxiously, "You didn't pay the ransom, did you?"

"No! The kidnappers made a phone call and said they wanted ten million in ransom, telling us to wait for a call to tell us the transaction location. They haven't called since." Fan Qixuan answered truthfully.

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he smiled, "That's good. Luckily you didn't pay the ransom. Qianqian and I are both safe and sound, and we can go back to Yanjing City tomorrow. Don't worry!"

Fan Qixuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sigh, I've been keeping it a secret from my dad these past two days, telling him that Qianqian went out of town with her classmates..."

Lin Yupeng chuckled, handed the phone to Fan Qianqian, let her talk to Fan Qixuan for a while, then hung up and started eating dinner. He first gave Fan Qianqian a bowl of millet porridge, then fed her a few bites of wild boar meat.

Wild boar meat is tender, fragrant, and flavorful, low in fat, and rich in nutrients. Fan Qianqian was still worried that eating too much meat would make her fat, so she only ate a few bites and refused to eat any more.

Lin Yupeng didn't force her; it's better to eat light meals when you have a cold. He finished the rest of the food and took the plates and bowls out.

When he returned to the inner room, Fan Qianqian was already asleep. Her long, delicate eyelashes trembled slightly, and her charming face was flushed with a faint blush, dotted with a few glistening beads of sweat, making her incredibly adorable and captivating.

Lin Yupeng pulled up a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at her sweet, slumbering figure. Although covered by a blanket, her beautiful figure was still perfectly displayed, resembling a continuous mountain range with its peaks and valleys, a breathtaking sight.

His gaze was momentarily captivated. He quickly composed himself, pulling the blanket up to cover her neck. She still had a fever; this would help her sweat and lower her temperature.

Time ticked by, and Lin Yupeng's mind raced. He recalled the events of the past few days, truly perilous situations, but thankfully they had survived. Tomorrow, back in Yanjing City, he would find a way to investigate the secret bandit hideout where Long Da and Long Ping had imprisoned him and wipe them out in one fell swoop!

He then thought of Qin Xue's parents, Qin Huaishan and Xue Man. He wondered how they were doing after they parted ways at that crossroads. Had they been taken back by Long Da's men? He hoped they were alright!

Lin Yupeng's mind raced, his thoughts a jumbled mess, unable to find a coherent conclusion. The night was deep, and Fan Qianqian was fast asleep. After what seemed like an eternity, her delicate eyelashes fluttered. Bathed in the soft moonlight streaming through the window, Lin Yupeng noticed beads of sweat on her forehead and her slightly dry, sensual red lips. She murmured, "Thirsty...water...water..."

Knowing she was sweating profusely and needed more fluids, Lin Yupeng quickly turned to find a thermos, poured a cup of hot water, and then poured it back and forth in an empty cup to cool it to a drinkable temperature. He returned to Fan Qianqian's side and said softly, "Qianqian, the water's here! Get up and drink!"

Fan Qianqian slowly opened her beautiful eyes, laboriously sat up in bed, took the cup from Lin Yupeng, and gulped down the entire cup of water.

Lin Yupeng took the cup and placed it on the table. He reached out and touched her forehead. Fan Qianqian tried to dodge, but he was too quick, and his large hand immediately covered her forehead.

"Don't move, let me check if your fever has gone down!" Lin Yupeng said sternly.

His hand touched her soft, smooth forehead, which was still slightly damp from sweating. It wasn't as hot as it had been during the day, which meant the ginger soup and cold medicine had worked, and Fan Qianqian's condition had improved.

Lin Yupeng asked softly, "Qianqian, are you feeling much better now?"

Fan Qianqian nodded gently and said softly, "Much better than during the day! My head isn't dizzy anymore, but my throat still aches intermittently."

Lin Yupeng smiled and said, "Illness comes like a landslide, but recovery is slow and gradual! Go back to the city and rest at the hospital for a few days. You should continue sleeping!"

Fan Qianqian smiled faintly, closed her beautiful eyes, and after a while, she opened them again. She caught sight of Lin Yupeng looking at her with concern, and a bright blush immediately appeared on her pretty face. She asked softly, "Brother Lin, why aren't you sleeping? You've been exhausted all day..."

"This girl has learned to care about people now!" Lin Yupeng muttered to himself, chuckling awkwardly as he replied in a low voice, "Qianqian, I'm not sleepy, you go to sleep first! Besides, there's only one bed, where am I supposed to sleep? Do you expect me to lie on the floor? I'll easily catch a cold!"

Fan Qianqian's pretty face flushed, her clear and bright eyes blinking. After hesitating for a while, she said softly, "Then you have to promise me one thing, and I'll let you sleep in the same bed with me!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled, then said seriously, "I know what the condition is, you're not allowed to bully me, right? Don't worry! When have I ever bullied you? Last night, I only kissed you because I was afraid you'd catch a cold while you were sleeping..."

"Ugh, stop talking, it's so embarrassing! You swear you won't bully me tonight, then I'll let you sleep in the bed, otherwise you can sleep on the floor!" Fan Qianqian's pretty face hardened, and she said sternly.

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I swear, I won't bully the beautiful Miss Fan Qianqian tonight. If I break my promise, call me..." Just as he was about to formulate the right, ruthless, and lethal words, he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze brush past him, and his lips felt soft and smooth. It turned out that Fan Qianqian had hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered, "Don't say anything! I believe you!"

Having gained the beauty's trust, Lin Yupeng felt a surge of joy. In fact, he didn't want to have any inappropriate behavior with Fan Qianqian. Kissing and hugging were the bottom line. He could tell that she was still a pure and innocent virgin, and she had developed feelings for him these past few days, but not to the point of offering herself. Even if he really wanted to possess her body, he couldn't do it in such a simple place. He had to choose a luxurious and comfortable environment, especially since Fan Qianqian was sick.

Chapter 805 Sharing a Bed

Fan Qianqian saw that Lin Yupeng had agreed to her conditions, so she immediately moved her body further inside, almost pressing herself against the wall, looking cute with a mixture of reluctance and anticipation.

Lin Yupeng had already taken off his ski suit and was now wearing a white shirt and black trousers. Just as he sat down on the bed, he heard Fan Qianqian say nervously, "Brother Lin, I have a condition! You... don't take off your clothes, okay? Just sleep like this!"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and nodded, "Okay, I won't take off my clothes!" He glanced at Fan Qianqian, who was wrapped in a large blanket and curled up against the wall as if she were about to be raped, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Qianqian, don't be nervous! This blanket is so big, do you want to have it all to yourself?"

"Ah... then I'll give you half..." Fan Qianqian handed one end of the blanket to Lin Yupeng, turned around, and faced away from him. This was the first time she had slept in the same bed with a man, and her heart was pounding wildly. She was afraid that Lin Yupeng would do something to her and ruin her pure and innocent body.

Lin Yupeng was indeed quite well-behaved. Lying in the same bed with Fan Qianqian, smelling the virgin fragrance emanating from her body, his heart fluttered. If he didn't feel anything while sharing a bed with such a beautiful girl, would he still be a man?

Lin Yupeng could feel it; the girl's delicate fragrance filled his nostrils, making him feel comfortable and a surge of heat within him, especially in his lower body. He sensed that Fan Qianqian beside him was also aroused, her body trembling, legs pressed together, her shapely form stiff.

Suddenly, they heard Chang Fu and his wife talking from the next room. The room had poor soundproofing, and Lin Yupeng's hearing was exceptional, so he overheard everything.

"What do you want to do?" it was Chang Fu's wife's voice, a mixture of shyness and reproach.

"Hehe, we haven't done it for days, have we? I can't hold back anymore!" It was Chang Fu's voice, panting heavily. "Are you crazy? There are people next door! Can't we do it tomorrow?"

"It's okay, they must have gone to bed long ago! They've been in the mountains for two or three days, how could they not be tired?"

"Wait for me a bit, I'm going to wash up!" "Hurry up! I can't wait! I'm counting on you to give me a baby!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a splashing sound, and after a while, there were soft moans from a woman and heavy breathing from a man, along with the slight shaking of the bed. Anyone with common sense would know that they were engaged in a primal game between a man and a woman that could produce life and bring pleasure.

"Ah...it's so itchy...you have so many tricks up your sleeve..." Chang Fu's wife's voice also rang out, carrying a woman's primal charm and shyness.

"Hehe, I learned it from watching porn at Zhao Tiechui's house yesterday." Chang Fu clicked his tongue, as if he were eating a lollipop.

"Oh...mmm...so good...faster!" The wife's moans grew louder, her intense pleasure making her forget there were people next door!

Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly, "How interesting, the couple next door are giving a live broadcast!" He glanced at Fan Qianqian beside him. In the bright moonlight streaming in from the window, her pure and beautiful face was flushed, her skin glowing, even her neck and ears were blushing. Clearly, she had also heard the seductive moans from the couple next door.

"Qianqian, still awake?" Lin Yupeng whispered in Fan Qianqian's ear.

Fan Qianqian trembled, her voice filled with shyness and fear, "Brother Lin, what are you going to do?"

Lin Yupeng chuckled and said, "Nothing! Just asking..."

Fan Qianqian gave a soft snort and stopped talking. The couple next door's passionate encounter lasted for half an hour, then fell silent.

A few moments later, Lin Yupeng heard Fan Qianqian breathing evenly; she had fallen asleep. He also felt his head getting heavy and soon drifted off to sleep himself.

He didn't know how long he slept, but in his hazy state, he felt a soft, warm body in his arms, and a sweet, intoxicating fragrance wafted over him. He slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was already dawn; the sky was turning a pale white, and the sun was about to rise.

Fan Qianqian had somehow snuggled into his arms, nestled her head against his shoulder, and her breath was sweet and fragrant. Her two full, beautiful breasts were pressed against his chest, and the warmth and softness of her entire body enveloped him.

Lin Yupeng chuckled inwardly: "So this girl is such a restless sleeper! Hehe, this isn't something I did on purpose to tease you! You threw yourself into my arms!"

Thinking of this, he naturally placed his hands on her back, feeling the smooth and delicate skin there, and the desire in his body rose again, especially in his lower body, which was unbearably hot.

Lin Yupeng couldn't sleep anymore and endured the night until dawn. He heard Fan Qianqian in his arms let out a soft moan and slowly open her beautiful eyes. She found herself pressed tightly against Lin Yupeng's chest. Seeing the tender look in his eyes, her pretty face flushed red, and her eyes welled with tears. She looked adorably vulnerable and asked coquettishly, "What...what did you do to me last night?"

Lin Yupeng chuckled, "I didn't do anything! You snuggled into my arms yourself!"

Fan Qianqian's surprise lessened slightly. She knew she was a restless sleeper, and besides, she felt nothing in her lower body. Lin Yupeng probably hadn't done anything to her last night.

Feeling relieved, she gently pushed Lin Yupeng away, lifted the covers, and sat up. A quick glance at the "little tent" erected in Lin Yupeng's lower body made her cheeks flush red. She pouted her rosy lips and muttered, "You big pervert! You big bad guy, you're up to no good again!"

Lin Yupeng said seriously, "Qianqian, what bad thoughts am I having? Didn't you learn about physiology? This is a normal physiological reaction for men in the morning, called 'morning erection'!"

Fan Qianqian's pretty face was flushed, her beautiful eyes shimmering with shy desire. She covered her ears with her hands and said coquettishly, "Stop talking! I won't listen... You're such a bad guy!" Her usual mischievousness was back.

Lin Yupeng smiled helplessly, too lazy to explain further. The two got dressed, and Chang Fu's wife brought breakfast. She looked somewhat languid, probably from the previous night's activities.

After breakfast, Lin Yupeng gave Fan Qianqian two more cold pills to stabilize her condition. Now they just waited for Li Zhanbo to pick them up.

Around 10 a.m., the door opened, and Chang Fu walked in, followed by a burly man in his fifties—it was Li Zhanbo.

(Chapter 806: Thrilling and Sensual)

Lin Yupeng was overjoyed to see Li Zhanbo arrive and quickly stood up, smiling, "Uncle Li, let's go!"

Li Zhanbo nodded, looked Lin Yupeng over a few times, and asked with concern, "Mr. Lin, are you alright?"

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily and said, "I'm perfectly fine. Miss Qianqian caught a cold, but it's under control!"

With that, he helped Fan Qianqian, said goodbye to Chang Fu and his wife, and then followed Li Zhanbo out of the Chang family home.

Upon arriving at the entrance, a black SUV and a silver minivan were parked there. Xiang Kui and Deng Yuhu stood beside the vehicles, along with five or six security guards from the group. They hadn't come in earlier for fear of frightening the Chang family.

Lin Yupeng smiled and nodded at them, then opened the car door and got into the SUV with Fan Qianqian. Li Zhanbo drove out of Phoenix Town.

The journey was smooth, and six hours later, the car entered Beijing city. Looking at the familiar Sky Dome Building, Lin Yupeng recalled the various experiences of the past few days—thrilling and exciting, like a nightmare. He thought to himself, "I'm finally back! Long Da, we'll see about this! I'll make sure you die a horrible death sooner or later!"

He first called Fan Qixuan to pick up his sister Fan Qianqian, then led his men into the Sky Dome Building, directly to the 5001 presidential suite where Jin Tai was staying.

Li Zhanbo had just told him that after returning to the group, he should immediately hold a meeting with Chairman Jin to discuss countermeasures.

Jin Tai was sitting on the sofa, a pot of Longjing tea on the coffee table in front of him. His expression remained cold and calm. Despite all the events of the past few days, he seemed completely unfazed. Even with a gun pointed at his head, he maintained his composure, as steady as a mountain.

Lin Yupeng couldn't help but admire him inwardly. "Old foxes are indeed cunning," he thought. "It seems I still have a long way to go in my training. "

Besides Jin Tai and Lin Yupeng, those attending the meeting included Xu Weiguo, Li Zhanbo, and Deng Yuhu—all key figures in the Tianqiong Group.

"Yupeng, tell everyone in detail what happened these past few days!" Jin Tai's eyes flashed coldly as he stared intently at Lin Yupeng.

Lin Yupeng nodded and recounted the whole story, omitting his ambiguous relationship with Fan Qianqian. Although the past few days had been thrilling, having that beautiful young woman by his side made it a bittersweet experience, a mix of danger and romance that he found unforgettable. Was this the legendary blessing in disguise? After

Lin Yupeng finished, Xu Weiguo spoke first: "Chairman Jin, President Lin, just as I analyzed the day before yesterday, there's definitely something wrong with Phoenix Mountain Ski Resort! As far as I know, that ski resort is an external business of Changsheng Group, and Changsheng Group has always been a rival to us. Think about it, based on President Lin's description: a closed ski resort where tourists' cars are parked in an external garage, yet President Lin and Miss Fan were forced into a car inside the ski resort and taken to that secret prison. Isn't this a case of someone inside the ski resort colluding with them?"

Jin Tai was very satisfied with Xu Weiguo's analysis. His eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light as he said in a deep voice, "I analyze that Phoenix Mountain Ski Resort definitely has problems. Why don't we take this opportunity to give Changsheng Group a good beating!"

Upon hearing this, Deng Yuhu's large, ringed eyes shot out two beams of lightning wrapped in murderous intent. He suddenly stood up and said solemnly, "Chairman Jin, I'll take men to raid Phoenix Mountain Ski Resort tonight, arrest all their key members, and interrogate them overnight. The truth will come out!"

Lin Yupeng glanced coldly at Deng Yuhu, secretly laughing to himself: 'This guy is brave but reckless, acting impulsively. No wonder he almost lost his life in Bangkok that time!'"

This work is exclusively published in text form on 16k.com. Unauthorized reproduction or excerpting is prohibited. For more latest and fastest chapters, please visit Jin Tai. He was quite dissatisfied with Deng Yuhu's risky behavior, glared at him, and said coldly, "Yuhu, why can't you change your impulsive and impatient ways?" This is different from the Zhang Yueran and Qin Xi incident. Zhang Yueran and Qin Xi are wanted criminals and dare not show their faces in society. We can deal with them however we want after we arrest them. However, Changsheng Group is a leading private enterprise in China, with strength no less than Lante and Weiye. It has a deep social background and connections, including its Phoenix Mountain Ski Resort, which is a well-known large-scale ski resort in China. If we use our personal power to attack them, we may only bring trouble upon ourselves!

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed, and he picked up the conversation, saying, "Chairman Jin, do you mean to use official power? To openly suppress Changsheng Group?"

Jin Tai smiled faintly, his eyes showing approval. He nodded in satisfaction and said in a deep voice, "That's right! A tourist being kidnapped at a ski resort is a big deal. It shows that the ski resort's security is problematic. I called the police the night you disappeared, and they are currently investigating. Now that you're back, we have a lot to do..."

After saying that, he winked at Li Zhanbo and stretched out his right hand. Li Zhanbo understood and took out his phone from his pocket, handing it to Jin Tai.

Jin Tai took the phone, dialed a number, and said in a deep voice, "Hello, Brother Du, my son Lin Yupeng is back..." "Hmm... This is related to Changsheng Group... My idea is..."

"Hehe, so you and I thought the same thing... Okay... Tell him to go to the presidential suite, room 5001, Sky Dome Building... Goodbye..."

Jin Tai's face showed a hint of smugness. After hanging up the phone, he handed it back to Li Zhanbo.

Lin Yupeng thought to himself, "Brother Du is probably Du Xiuwen. This man has enormous influence. It seems we're going to use his connections to suppress Changsheng Group."

Sure enough, Jin Tai's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared at Lin Yupeng and said in a deep voice, "Yupeng, Peng Xiangnan, the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau in charge of criminal investigation, will be bringing people here to understand the case in a little while. Tell him exactly what you just said. You are the main victim in this case. With your testimony, the police will have an excuse to directly investigate Phoenix Mountain Ski Resort!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes darted around, and he said seriously, "Chairman Jin, I understand!"

Jin Tai smiled slightly and turned to Xu Weiguo and Deng Yuhu, saying, "You two go back to work!"

The two men stood up simultaneously, bowed to Jin Tai, and then turned and left the presidential suite. Half an hour later, Li Zhanbo's phone rang. He quickly answered, "Um... I understand. Invite them up! "

Then he hung up and turned to Jin Tai, saying, "Chairman Jin, Director Peng is here!" Jin

Tai's eyes gleamed, and he nodded slightly, glancing at Lin Yupeng to signal him to get ready. A moment later, the doorbell rang.

Li Zhanbo opened the door, and a police officer in his early

thirties walked in. He was tall and imposing, with a bronze complexion and sharply defined features, like a Greek sculpture. His sharp, clear eyes flashed with a piercing light, and he exuded an aura of righteous indignation. A confident smile played on his cold face. Beside him

were two younger officers, both in their early twenties, with imposing bearing and shrewd abilities.

Lin Yupeng glanced at the oldest officer's insignia and knew he must be Peng Xiangnan, the deputy director of the city's Public Security Bureau. He couldn't help but think to himself, "He's only in his early thirties, yet he's become the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of the capital city. His abilities must be exceptional, and he probably has deep connections behind him!"

Peng Xiangnan strode up to Jin Tai, his expression calm and serious as he asked, "Are you Mr. Jin Tai, Chairman of Tianqiong Group?" Jin

Tai, sitting there as steady as a mountain, nodded slightly and said loudly, "That's right! You are Peng Xiangnan, Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, right?"

Peng Xiangnan nodded calmly, but a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Jin Tai pointed to the sofa beside him and said in a deep voice, "Officers, please have a seat!"

"Thank you!" Peng Xiangnan leaned forward and sat on the sofa, his gaze falling on Lin Yupeng opposite him. He asked in a deep voice, "Are you Lin Yupeng, the group's vice president who was kidnapped a few days ago?"

Lin Yupeng remained seated, nodding slightly and smiling. "Yes, Director Peng, you've gone to so much trouble! I suspect this isn't just a simple kidnapping case. I know both of the main kidnappers; they're wanted criminals on the national online wanted list. One is Long Da, a ruthless figure in the underworld of Tianhan City, Donghai Province, and the other is his sister, Long Ping, the ringleader of the infamous Black Treasure fundraising fraud case that shocked the nation years ago! You can contact the Tianhan City Public Security Bureau for more details."

Peng Xiangnan's bright eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly. The two police officers beside him were diligently taking notes.

Lin Yupeng smiled faintly and recounted the events before and after the kidnapping in detail. Peng Xiangnan interspersed his account with a few questions, which Lin Yupeng answered one by one. Half an hour later, he finished his narration.

"Chairman Jin, General Manager Lin, we've already opened an investigation into this case. Our preliminary investigation leads us to suspect operational problems at Phoenix Mountain Ski Resort. Furthermore, we must find and dismantle the bandit hideout in the mountains that General Manager Lin mentioned; otherwise, if it grows stronger, the harm it will cause to society will be even greater!" Peng Xiangnan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he glanced at Jin Tai and Lin Yupeng, speaking in a deep voice.

Jin Tailang chuckled, "Hehe, then I'll trouble Director Peng!"

Peng Xiangnan stood up and smiled, "Chairman Jin, you're too kind. It's no trouble at all. The duty of the police is to punish evil and promote good, and to maintain peace in the area!" He then turned to look at Lin Yupeng and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Lin, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Lin Yupeng, whose throat was dry from talking, smiled and shook his head, saying, "No! Thank you for your hard work, Director Peng!"

Peng Xiangnan smiled faintly and said seriously, "Then we'll head back. We'll let you know as soon as there's any progress in the case!"

"Okay, goodbye!" Jin Tai and Lin Yupeng stood up simultaneously, seeing Peng Xiangnan to the door. Watching his tall, imposing figure, Lin Yupeng whispered, "Godfather, do you think Director Peng can get things done for us?"

Jin Tai chuckled and said in a deep voice, "He was recommended by your Uncle Du, so he's one of ours. He's definitely reliable, don't worry!"

Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed sharply, and he said in a deep voice, "But why do I always feel like he's not that enthusiastic towards us?"

Jin Tai laughed heartily, "Police officers are often serious and unsmiling." "He's just doing his job. As far as I know, this man is not only extremely capable, but also has deep connections. His father, Peng Wanchun, is the Minister of Public Security, and he's very close to your Uncle Du. The two families are even related; Peng Wanchun is Du Xiuwen's brother-in-law. One move affects everything—it

's a complex web of nepotism!" Lin Yupeng's eyes flashed, and he nodded, suddenly realizing, "No wonder Wei Tie's case was suppressed last time. It turns out Du Xiuwen used his relationship with Minister Peng Wanchun to secretly pull strings. Looks like I'm lucky!" He

said goodbye to Jin Tai and went straight to his vice president's office. He'd spent the entire day either traveling or in meetings; he hadn't been able to do any normal work. Several backlogged documents from before New Year's Day still needed to be reviewed immediately.

As soon as he arrived at his office, he glanced at his watch—it was already 5 PM. There was only half an hour left before he was supposed to leave work; it seemed he'd have to work overtime.

There sat his newly "promoted" beautiful secretary, Hua Meiyu, at her desk, diligently typing on the computer. Each keystroke was crisp and clear. Although her movements weren't very skilled, her snow-white, slender hands moved like butterflies, as if performing a graceful fingertip dance, captivating the eye.

"Brother Lin, you're back!" "Hua Meiyu caught a glimpse of Lin Yupeng entering through the door and smiled sweetly.

The company had strictly controlled information about Lin Yupeng's disappearance during the New Year's holiday, so Hua Meiyu knew nothing about it. He hadn't come to work all day and she assumed he was in a meeting; she had no right to interfere in her superiors' affairs.

Lin Yupeng, gazing at her angelic smile, felt a surge of emotion and laughed heartily, "Almost time to leave work, still so busy?"

Hua Meiyu's beautiful eyes sparkled with a clear, alluring light as she replied sweetly, "Just half a page of documents left, almost finished typing. I just tested my typing speed, over sixty words per minute!"

Lin Yupeng returned to his desk, chuckled, and encouraged her, "That's great! You haven't used a computer in years, and you've already reached this speed. Keep it up!" "

Hua Meiyu pouted her rosy lips cutely and said sweetly, "You're still far from it. I checked, the fastest typist in our company is Xie Xiaoru, 210 words per minute. She's also your secretary!"

Tianqiong Group purchased a typing speed training software and put it on the company's website for employees to practice in their spare time. Lin Yupeng knew that Xie Xiaoru was the fastest typist. Xie Xiaoru was currently on Golden Shark Island, and he hadn't seen her for many days. He really missed her; her charming, alluring, and shy demeanor, and the supreme pleasure she brought him time and time again…

"Brother Lin, has Xie Xiaoru resigned? Why haven't I seen her?" "Hua Meiyu's beautiful eyes sparkled as she asked in a sweet voice.

Chapter 808: Entangled Passion .

Hua Meiyu's soft and melodious voice brought Lin Yupeng back to his senses. He smiled and replied, "Xiaoru has other tasks assigned by the group, so she didn't come to Yanjing City with me..."

He noticed a hint of worry in Hua Meiyu's tone and quickly added, "Meiyu, don't worry. I have two secretaries anyway. Her return won't affect your position. You each have your own responsibilities."

Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Lin, you misunderstand. I think she's the best person for you as my secretary. I'm very clumsy and don't know anything."

Lin Yupeng laughed heartily and continued to encourage her, "Learn slowly! Everyone starts from not knowing to becoming proficient. No one is born a saint. You're so smart, you'll definitely do even better."

"Thank you, I will try my best!" Hua Meiyu smiled sweetly, her beauty as delicate and alluring as a lily in full bloom. Lin Yupeng was mesmerized, his gaze fixed on her.

Hua Meiyu wore the standard business suit issued to female employees by the Tianqiong Group, exquisitely crafted and perfectly tailored. Each suit cost over a thousand yuan. She wore a dark blue round-neck blouse and a beige skirt. With her breathtaking beauty, even the most ordinary clothes would look radiant on her, unforgettable.

Her full, high, hemispherical breasts seemed about to burst from her clothes, her snow-white neck was translucent, and beneath the beige skirt, her bare calves were encased in sheer flesh-colored stockings that extended upwards, smooth and delicate, full of rounded beauty, symmetrical and alluringly sexy; a pair of... Her jade-like feet were encased in exquisite pale silver-white high heels, the heels high and slender, revealing her fair and delicate instep, so fine and smooth, as if carved from ivory, with faint blue veins visible, making one want to reach out and caress it.

Lin Yupeng couldn't help but recall the wonderful and intoxicating feeling of making love with her, his heart fluttering. Fortunately, he remained clear-headed, remembering the documents he hadn't finished processing, and quickly pulled himself together, burying his head in the documents, his pen flying across the paper, a flurry of strokes. When he looked up again, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Lin Yupeng glanced at Hua Meiyu beside him, and saw her still diligently typing on the keyboard. Upon closer inspection, he realized she was using the typing practice software, having just typed 70 words in a minute. A captivating sweet smile immediately appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.

"Meiyu, let's go eat!" Lin Yupeng gazed at Hua Meiyu and said softly.

"Mmm!" Hua Meiyu nodded obediently, hung up the phone, and suddenly caught Lin Yupeng's burning, affectionate gaze. A vibrant blush instantly rose to her pretty face, her heart fluttering. She knew her irresistible charm; a passionate night was inevitable.

This stunning beauty had already been awakened by Lin Yupeng's charm, and she was both shy and eager for intimacy. Each time she made love with Lin Yupeng, she experienced an ecstatic pleasure that left her completely intoxicated.

Looking at Hua Meiyu's flushed, shy face, Lin Yupeng's mind raced again, and he almost wanted to... She was about to take him in, but luckily he held back. Temporary restraint would bring him endless pleasure…

After dinner, the two tacitly went to Lin Yupeng's presidential suite, 5002. As soon as they closed the door, Lin Yupeng turned and pulled Hua Meiyu into his arms, looking eager.

How could he not be eager? Having just survived a life-or-death ordeal a few days prior, Lin Yupeng was filled with a longing for all the beautiful things in the world. He had to enjoy what he had while he could, and besides, his physical needs were very strong. Unless he had important business to attend to, he couldn't go a day without a woman.

"Sigh, could it be that my body enhancement has caused such a surge in male hormones?" Lin Yupeng thought to himself.

Hua Meiyu's clear, autumn-water-like eyes reflected a dreamlike, shimmering beauty, and her exquisitely beautiful face was flushed with a captivating blush.

Lin Yupeng's lust surged, his hands beginning to caress her soft, smooth back, teasingly caressing and kneading her. Gradually, Hua Meiyu also began to lose herself in passion.

"Brother Lin, take me now! I'll always be yours!" Hua Meiyu said sweetly, her face flushed.

Lin Yupeng's eyes were bloodshot as he lifted her onto the bed, gently unbuttoning her royal blue blouse to reveal a white low-cut top underneath. Her full, hemispherical breasts stood tall, their pink areolas faintly visible.

He moved his hands rapidly, caressing and kneading her as he slowly removed the blouse. Hua Meiyu's face flushed a rosy pink, her delicate lips parted slightly, emitting soft, alluring moans. Her soft, sweet voice was enough to ignite his passion and further fuel his raging desire.

Her silk lace bra tightly hugged her full, high breasts; the pink demi-cup bra only covered half, revealing a deep cleavage. With the slightest twist of her waist, her fair, firm breasts would almost be partially exposed.

Hua Meiyu exuded an intoxicating sweet fragrance, making Lin Yupeng feel completely comfortable. He couldn't help but lean down and begin kissing and licking her delicate cheeks, his lips and tongue leaving

a delicate, pollen-like blush wherever they touched. Lin Yupeng's gentle yet provocative kisses made Hua Meiyu's body heat up, and she enthusiastically responded, their lips naturally meeting.

Her delicate tongue playfully slipped into Lin Yupeng's mouth, teasing and swirling around as if playing hide-and-seek.

Lin Yupeng's desire surged, and he diligently captured her tongue, finally managing to suckle it freely, exchanging sweet nectar.

Hua Meiyu felt as if all her strength had been drained away by Lin Yupeng along with the saliva in her mouth. A series of soft moans escaped her delicate nose, and her snow-white, lotus-root-like arms wrapped around Lin Yupeng's neck, her soft, fragrant body pressed completely against his.

Lin Yupeng's desire instantly surged, and he pulled off Hua Meiyu's only covering—her bra—gently kneading her two high, soft mounds. His lips gradually moved down, kissing her smooth, delicate neck and her snow-white, tender breasts… Hua Meiyu

couldn't help but let out a series of soft, seductive breaths, her cheeks flushed, her half-closed, half-open eyes blazing with desire, her heart in a frenzy, thirsting awaiting a torrential downpour.
