Chapter 6

"Hands up!"

The thin man's hand froze, not daring to move, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Qin Zhengfan.

Of course, he had seen Qin Zhengfan leap to a height of about one and a half floors, then kneel on his accomplice's arm with a terrifying force.

Without a second thought, Qin Zhengfan stepped forward, stomped on the man's hand, and reached out to take the gun from his waist.

After securing both guns, Qin Zhengfan breathed a sigh of relief and gained a better understanding of his own strength.

He knew that without guns, these two men, even if they were trained in martial arts, would absolutely not be a match for him.

As the saying goes, brute strength overcomes skill, and speed is the ultimate weapon in the world of martial arts.

Now, he had both strength and speed.

However, for safety, after confiscating the thin man's gun, Qin Zhengfan still broke both of his arms and then tied up both men's legs with some vines and grass from the side.

Only after doing all this did Qin Zhengfan truly relax.

Once he relaxed, he realized he was drenched in sweat, and his heart was pounding fiercely.

He was a doctoral student and had never been in a fight before. This was his first time facing armed criminals!

Compared to Qin Zhengfan, Situ Chuxue's heart was beating even more violently. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Qin Zhengfan, and she had forgotten that the most important thing at this moment was to put on her clothes.

It wasn't until Qin Zhengfan looked up at her that Situ Chuxue shivered and quickly bent down to grab her clothes to cover her upper body.

Her eyes were like two brilliant stars, and even in the darkness, Situ Chuxue felt as if he had seen through her completely.

Seeing Situ Chuxue bend down to cover herself, Qin Zhengfan's pale face turned slightly red in the darkness, his eyes showing a hint of guilt and panic, and he quickly turned away.

Situ Chuxue's intuition was not wrong.

At that moment, Qin Zhengfan could see as clearly as daylight. With just that one glance, he had seen Situ Chuxue's young and beautiful figure, her skin as white as snow, in perfect detail.

Even though Situ Chuxue was still wearing a bikini, it was enough to make Qin Zhengfan, who had never seen such a stunning sight before, feel his heart race.

Seeing Qin Zhengfan turn away, Situ Chuxue quickly put on her clothes.

"You can turn around now!" Situ Chuxue said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Hearing this, Qin Zhengfan slowly turned around and looked up, his eyes brightening slightly.

Long eyelashes, arched eyebrows, a small, slightly upturned nose—this was a delicate, oval-shaped beauty.

An elegant, simple white silk shirt and nine-inch jeans that revealed her ankles not only perfectly outlined her alluring curves but also showcased the unique charm of an urban woman.

However, in the darkness, Situ Chuxue's beautiful face was pale and bloodless, her thin lips also devoid of color, making her less assertive and more pitiful.

Thinking of the nightmare she had just experienced, Qin Zhengfan felt a pang of sympathy and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, everything is fine now."

"Wah! I was so scared just now! I was afraid they would rape and kill me! I was afraid..." Qin Zhengfan's words only made Situ Chuxue's suppressed emotions finally collapse. She threw herself into Qin Zhengfan's arms, hugging him tightly and crying uncontrollably.

Qin Zhengfan's body stiffened as he was suddenly hugged and cried on, not knowing where to put his hands.

"Thank you, I'm fine now!" Situ Chuxue quickly regained her composure, let go of Qin Zhengfan, took a few steps back, wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath, and said calmly, though her face was slightly red in the darkness.

This was the first time she had hugged a man so tightly and cried so much.

"It's okay!" Qin Zhengfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his expression calm, his tone cold.

In college, he had once had a brief romantic relationship. But due to his poor family background, the relationship ended soon after it began. He had tried to win her back, promising to study hard and give her a happy home in the future, but all he received was the disdainful look of her mother and the gradually distant, cold back of his lover.

Since then, Qin Zhengfan had devoted himself entirely to his studies, closing his heart to women and never wanting to talk about romantic relationships again.

Situ Chuxue was beautiful, and her pale face in the darkness could easily stir a man's heart, making him want to embrace her and take good care of her.

But the now calm Qin Zhengfan had no such thoughts. At that moment, he only wanted to leave as soon as possible and continue his exhilarating journey through the mountains and forests.

However, this was clearly not realistic. It was late at night, and he couldn't leave a woman and two criminals in the wilderness.

Although the darkness made it hard to see Qin Zhengfan's facial expression, Situ Chuxue could still sense his eagerness to leave.

It seemed that after rescuing her, his mission was complete.

This feeling made Situ Chuxue feel both surprised and more angry and panicked at being ignored and abandoned.

In the cold moonlight, not only were there two criminals lying on the ground, but there were also graves everywhere.

Just the thought of being left alone here made Situ Chuxue feel a chill down her spine.

"Do you have a phone?" Situ Chuxue suppressed her complex emotions and asked.

"Here." Qin Zhengfan took out his phone and handed it to Situ Chuxue.

Seeing an old phone, Situ Chuxue was slightly stunned, finding it hard to associate this old phone with a cool martial arts expert from a movie.

"Where are we?" After a moment of hesitation, Situ Chuxue asked.

"I don't know the name of this mountain, but people in Qingdong Town call it Tomb Mountain. Tell the police you're at Tomb Mountain in Qingdong Town, and they should know. However, there's no road here, and locals either walk up the mountain path or take a boat to the foot of the mountain and then climb Tomb Mountain. The police will probably take at least an hour to get here." Qin Zhengfan knew Situ Chuxue was planning to call the police.

Actually, even if Situ Chuxue didn't call the police, he was going to do it himself.

He could take Situ Chuxue down the mountain alone, but with two criminals, he couldn't handle them and would have to hand them over to the police.

"Qingdong Town?" Situ Chuxue frowned slightly, her face showing a hint of thoughtfulness.

Qin Zhengfan, recalling the conversation he had overheard earlier, knew that Situ Chuxue probably didn't know about Qingdong Town, a small place, and added, "This is Tomb Mountain in Qingdong Town, Cang Y County, Yongtong City."

In the Great Zhou Kingdom, the administrative divisions are four levels, from largest to smallest: state, city, district or county, and town.

Below the town level are villages, but they don't have formal government institutions, so they are not included.

The Great Zhou Kingdom has thirty-five states, plus the capital, Yujing City, which is at the same level as a state.

"So it's Cang Y County, that's good!" Situ Chuxue breathed a sigh of relief and then made a phone call.

She called her father, informed him of her general situation and location, and then hung up.

Her attitude was cold, not at all like a daughter who had just gone through a major ordeal talking to her father.
