on recognizing several familiar faces among them—known small-time hoodlums in Beijing—he also noticed the two vans nearby, which made him largely believe Mu Han's story.The problem now was that all th...Chapter 987: Carrying His Wife Away - Wuyou Chinese Network
Zhao Yujie woke up but was unable to immediately leave Xia Tian's embrace. She cast a glance around and realized that she had arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain. The place where she now stood was the house where she spent her first night, which belonged to Zhang Dalan. At this moment, it was quite lively here; there were several people standing in the snow outside the door, including a few police officers.
"Put me down," Zhao Yujie said softly. She felt somewhat uncomfortable with so many eyes on her.
This time Xia Tian actually placed Zhao Yujie onto the snowy ground. The moment she was set down, everyone was surprised to see that the snow beneath her feet quickly melted and evaporated instantly. By the time her feet touched the ground, it had already dried up completely.
Zhao Yujie herself also noticed this unbelievable scene. However, she wasn't too surprised at all because she had seen even more astonishing things before. Besides, she was well aware that Xia Tian had done this for her.
"Officer, it's him! He incited the murderer to flee; he is guilty of instigation. Perhaps they were partners from the start. Quickly arrest him; he definitely knows where the murderer is hiding."
Zhao Yujie frowned slightly. She actually knew this person who was speaking; he was none other than Han Xing, whom Xia Tian had beaten twice before. However, this guy really left Zhao Yujie speechless. After being beaten by Xia Tian twice and fleeing shamefully both times, did he now see a chance to cause trouble with the police around
"Yujie sister, you're back!" At this moment, another joyful voice sounded out—it was Su Su who had hurriedly run up to Zhao Yujie. "I've been so worried about you! You didn't come back all night long, and it snowed heavily last night too. I wanted to go find you but the mountain path was impossible to traverse. Right now, I'm discussing with these police officers how we can request for rescue. It's just great to see that you're safe!"
The previous evening, a murder case had occurred here; the police arrived yesterday afternoon but by then, the murderer had already fled. As they couldn't find any leads, they were getting ready to take the body away today. However, last night's heavy snowfall made it impossible for them to proceed.
Zhao Yujie had not come down all night, and Su Su was so worried that she couldn't sleep. She ran to find the police but also went to the village head. However, no one could do anything; nobody dared to go up Qingfeng Mountain in a snowstorm. But when they heard from Su Su that Zhao Yujie was a big celebrity, those policemen took it seriously and quickly used the only phone in the village to contact the county government. Still, even in Mulian County, no one wanted to come for rescue; everyone said that they could send people over only after dawn. But with heavy snow blocking roads, nobody had moved yet.
"Ahem, you shouldn't talk nonsense. She has nothing to do with the murderer. That's Rainie's friend, and he just brought him down from the mountain," Su Su glared at Han Xing at this moment. "You were scared when I asked you to go up the mountain to look for them earlier. Now that someone else is blamed, it seems only right."
"Who’s talking nonsense Back then, so many people heard what he said. He was the one who let Yang Xiaojin run away! When Yang Xiaojin disappeared, he also vanished! I think there's a high chance that he helped Yang Xiaojin escape," Han Xing looked indignant and started urging those policemen to arrest him again. "Officer, I can be your witness. I am responsible for my words. No matter what, he won't get away with this."
"Demoness wife, do you want to go back to the county town now" Xia Tian asked at this moment.
“Yes, let’s go.” Zhao Yujie didn’t want to stay in this mountain village any longer. The only place she felt a bit attached to was beneath that cliff. Now that they were away from there, there was no reason for them to stick around anymore.
"Ah You’re leaving now I heard the roads are all covered with snow and aren’t easy to walk on. If you don't watch out, you might fall into a ravine. It's very dangerous. Why not wait until the snow melts before going out" Su Su said anxiously.
“It doesn’t matter; we won’t be in any danger.” Zhao Yujie said indifferently: “We didn't have any trouble on Qingfeng Mountain, so these little paths are nothing to worry about."
Zhao Yujie was so confident because she knew Xia Tian would definitely take her out safely. Even if they fell into a ravine, there wouldn’t be any problem. They had already jumped off such a high cliff, after all.
"Demoness wife, let me carry you out!" Xia Tian said with twinkling eyes to Zhao Yujie at this moment.
"Alright." Zhao Yujie hesitated slightly before nodding. She realized that having this guy carry her out would definitely be faster.
"Susu, we're leaving now. When you get out, give me a call if you have time," Zhao Yujie said to Susu and then lay down on Xia Tian's back.
Xia Tian picked up Zhao Yujie and prepared to leave.
"Stop!" Upon seeing Xia Tian about to leave, Han Xing immediately panicked. He suddenly questioned the police officers, "What’s going on How are you supposed to be a cop There's an accomplice of a murderer right here, yet you do nothing... uh!"
Xia Tian kicked Han Xing, sending him sprawling to the ground.
"Idiot, don’t you know that you’re being annoying" Xia Tian glared at Han Xing who was sprawled on the ground with dissatisfaction before carrying Zhao Yujie away in a flash, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"He hit me! He just hit me, did you see" Han Xing got up from the ground, angrily questioning the police officers.
The police officers acted as if they had seen and heard nothing, completely ignoring Han Xing. This reaction was not unexpected because these policemen were among those who had witnessed Xia Tian's formidable abilities over a month ago; would they actually act on an order to arrest him
"I'm going to file a complaint against you guys! You’re derelict in your duties as police officers..." Han Xing was extremely frustrated, being hit by the same person three times could really put one in a bad mood, couldn’t it
If the demon knew the true capabilities of summer, he should be glad that it's quite rare nowadays for someone to still be alive after being hit by summer three times.
Zhao Yujie initially thought she would soon return to the county town. However, she gradually realized things weren't as straightforward as she had imagined; at first, Summer was running pretty fast, but his speed eventually slowed down more and more. After walking for a long time on the road, they still hadn't managed to leave the mountainous area.
"Oh, are you out of energy If so, just put me down and let me walk by myself." After some time, Zhao Yujie finally couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Demoness wife, I still have plenty of strength!" Summer replied.
"Then why are you walking so slowly" Zhao Yujie asked with a bad mood.
"Demoness wife, I heard that carrying your wife shouldn't be too fast," Summer answered seriously.
"Idiot! Those who carry their wives should go as fast as possible; otherwise, the wife could be snatched away!" Zhao Yujie said angrily before realizing something was amiss—wasn’t she admitting that she's his wife
“Is it like that” Summer looked confused, “Alright, then I'll run faster.”
Afther saying this, Summer’s speed finally picked up again. Yet in his heart, he felt a bit regretful because soon after, he wouldn’t be able to enjoy the unique back massage from Demoness Wife anymore.
By noon, Xia Tian finally carried Zhao Yujie back to the villa she had temporarily rented.
"I'm going to take a shower first." Zhao Yujie quickly went into the bathroom, leaving Xia Tian alone in the living room.
Xia Tian took out his phone and dialed Qiao Xiaoqiao's number.
"Honey, are you back" As soon as she answered the call, Qiao Xiaoqiao asked rather urgently.
"Yes, I just got back," Xia Tian replied.
"So, did you find her" Qiao Xiaoqiao naturally knew that Xia Tian was out looking for someone.
"Found her," Xia Tian answered truthfully.
"That's good." Without asking about the specifics, after a slight hesitation, Qiao Xiaoqiao asked again, "Honey, we're getting ready to eat. Are you coming over"
"I'll be right back." Xia Tian glanced at the bathroom and then made his decision.
After hanging up, Xia Tian shouted towards the bathroom: "Wife, the big demoness, I'm leaving first. Call me after your shower!"
"Got it." Zhao Yujie replied inside, but was simultaneously grumbling in her heart; she wouldn't call him at all.
Several minutes later, Xia Tian appeared on the ground floor restaurant of Dongsheng Hotel, while Qiao Xiaoqiao and the other two women—Qiao Feng'er and Qiao Huang'er—were already waiting for him here. When Qiáo Fēng'ér saw Xia Tian, she was somewhat annoyed; that damn rogue didn't come back yesterday and didn't continue massaging her there, who knew what bad effects it would have.
Although she was irritated, with so many people around now, Qiao Feng'er couldn’t say anything either, she could only wait for another opportunity.
"Honey, where did you go Why can't I reach you on the phone Did you go to Green Peak Mountain" At the dining table, Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, my wife, the big demoness, went alone to climb mountains at Green Peak Mountain," Xia Tian nodded his head.
"Then, did you also go up the mountain" Qiao Feng'er hesitated slightly and asked softly.
Qiao Feng'er on the side was a bit confused; wasn't this rogue going to Green Peak Mountain looking for someone Why would Miss Qiao ask such questions
"I almost did, but I still didn’t go in the end." Xia Tian shook his head. However, he understood what Qiao Xiaoqiao meant by her question—she was actually asking whether or not he had gone to find Fairy Sister. Heaven knew that that night, he struggled at the entrance for a long time before ultimately holding back from going up.hem up," Xia Tian said nonchalantly."Blackmail" The policeman's expression changed slightly before he carefully asked, "Mr. Xia, do you have any evidence""Of course." Xia Tian didn't hesitate in his r...
