160: Chapter 160 The Perverted Dong Yu! Enjoy the Thrill of the Chase!

[Su Yun: Keep crawling forward! All the way to the end! That's the exhaust vent for the backyard kitchen! Kick open the iron grate and jump down!]

Chen Xue looked at the words on the screen, a flicker of hope igniting in her heart.

The backyard!

Once she was outside, she could scream for help and escape!

The duct was getting narrower and narrower.

Chen Xue's shoulders got stuck against the sheet metal; she forced herself through, tearing her clothes in the process.

A circular exit finally appeared ahead.

Outside was the pitch-black night sky, and fresh air was blowing in.

Chen Xue crawled to the exit.

It was blocked by a layer of rusted iron bars.

Chen Xue flipped over and lay on her back in the duct, bending her legs and kicking hard at the iron bars.

Once!

Twice!

*Clang!*

The long-neglected iron grate, along with its screws, fell off and landed in the grass outside.

Chen Xue took a deep breath, gripped her phone, and squeezed out of the exhaust vent.

This was the side wall of the second floor, about three meters above the ground.

Chen Xue closed her eyes and jumped straight down.

*Thud!*

She landed heavily on the backyard lawn.

The soil beneath was soft, but Chen Xue's posture was wrong when she landed.

A soft *crack* sounded.

A piercing pain shot through her right ankle.

She had sprained it.

Sweating from the pain, Chen Xue gasped.

She tried to stand up, but her right foot couldn't support any weight; she collapsed the moment it touched the ground.

The viewers in the livestream room were watching with burning anxiety.

[Oh no! A sprained ankle at the critical moment! This is going to be the death of her!]

[Get up quickly! That pervert must have heard the noise!]

[Master, think of something! How can she outrun a grown man like this!]

Su Yun looked at the System Map.

The red dot representing Dong Yu had already detected the movement in the backyard.

The dot was rapidly descending the stairs, heading straight for the back door on the first floor.

[Su Yun: Chen Xue! Forget about your foot! Crawl to the left! Beyond the garden is the main road of the villa area! There are security guards at the gate!]

Chen Xue bit her lip until it bled.

She stuffed the phone into her pocket, gripped the turf with all her might, and dragged her injured right leg as she crawled desperately toward the garden.

The backyard was filled with large patches of roses.

Chen Xue thought of what Su Yun had said earlier: beneath these roses lay the bones of seven girls.

Her skin crawled as she scrambled through the flower beds on all fours.

The rose thorns scratched her cheeks and arms, and blood began to seep out.

But she couldn't feel the pain at all.

Just as she had crawled a dozen meters away,

A loud bang came from behind her.

The villa's back door was kicked open.

Dong Yu, carrying that heavy chainsaw, burst into the backyard.

Tonight was a full moon.

The moonlight illuminated the backyard clearly.

Dong Yu stood on the steps, his gaze scanning the lawn like radar.

He saw the kicked-off iron grate and the obvious drag marks on the lawn.

There were even a few drops of fresh blood on the green leaves.

"Hehehehe..."

Dong Yu began to laugh.

He pressed the switch on the chainsaw in his hand.

*Vroom!*

The ear-piercing roar of the motor echoed through the night sky.

The blade spun rapidly, kicking up a foul wind.

"Found you."

Carrying the chainsaw, Dong Yu followed the bloodstains on the lawn, walking step by step toward the rose bushes.

*Vroom! Vroom!*

The motor's roar sounded like a death knell, exploding in the empty backyard.

Dong Yu walked unhurriedly, his leather shoes making a crisp "clack-clack" sound on the gravel path.

He enjoyed this cat-and-mouse game; watching his prey struggle in despair was more interesting than a quick kill.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Chen Xue felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Her right ankle was swollen like a bun, and every movement brought agonizing pain. But she didn't dare stop; stopping meant death.

On the other side of the screen, Su Yun's speech was as fast as a machine gun.

[Su Yun: Don't look back! That flower bed ahead—go around it! Use the blind spot!]

[Su Yun: He's enjoying himself right now and won't charge directly! This is your only chance!]

Chen Xue gritted her teeth, her palms rubbed raw and bloody by the rough ground. She rounded the flower bed, and ahead lay the main road of the villa area.

If she could just crawl out, if she could just reach the main road...

"Little mouse, you're crawling too slowly."

Dong Yu's voice drifted from behind, carrying a playful smirk. "Do you want me to give you a hand? If I saw off your legs, you won't have to work so hard."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chainsaw bit into the stone steps of the flower bed, sparks flying. The screeching sound of metal friction made one's scalp tingle.

Chen Xue let out a terrified scream, scrambling with all her limbs as her survival instinct flared. Like a madwoman, she dragged her useless leg and forced her way out of the villa's large iron gate.

Outside was a wide asphalt road.

The streetlights were dim and yellow, and the surroundings were silent, without a soul in sight.

The so-called security booth was empty; the old man on duty had long since disappeared to sleep somewhere.

Chen Xue collapsed in the middle of the road, looking up at the sky in despair.

It was over.

There was no one.

Behind her, Dong Yu stepped leisurely out of the gate, carrying his chainsaw.

He stopped under a streetlight and pushed up the glasses on his nose, the lenses reflecting a cold light.

"Run, why aren't you running anymore?"

Dong Yu raised the chainsaw and walked toward Chen Xue. "This place is very remote. Even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come to save you."

In the livestream room, the hearts of seven million viewers sank.

[It's over, it's over! This time it's really over!]

[Where are the police? Why haven't the police arrived yet!]

[I can't watch! I'm turning off the stream!]

Su Yun sat before the camera, but his expression suddenly relaxed. He picked up his teacup, blew gently on it, and a curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

"Dong Yu, or should I call you Wang Dayong."

Su Yun's voice echoed across the empty road through Chen Xue's phone. "Do you think you've already won?"

Dong Yu froze for a moment, then sneered, "Playing tricks. Once I've sawed her up, you're next."

"Is that so?"

Su Yun set down his teacup and lightly tapped the table with his finger. "Then look behind you and see who's coming."

Dong Yu instinctively wanted to turn around.

Right then.

*Wooo!!!*

A shrill police siren suddenly blasted through the night sky without warning.

Immediately after, three beams of blinding light pierced the darkness like swords, shining harshly onto Dong Yu's face.

It was three police cars!

They seemed to have surged out from underground, engines roaring and tires rubbing against the asphalt, creating a pungent smell of burning rubber.

*Screech!*

The sound of screeching brakes rang out.

The three police cars performed a precise drift and fishtail, positioning themselves sideways between Chen Xue and Dong Yu, completely separating them.

The car doors were flung open before the vehicles had even come to a full stop.

"Don't move! Police!"

"Drop your weapon! Put your hands on your head and get down!"

Over a dozen fully armed SWAT officers jumped out of the cars like dumplings being dropped into a pot, their dark muzzles instantly locking onto Dong Yu.

Dong Yu was blinded by the strong light and couldn't open his eyes, the chainsaw in his hand still buzzing.

He instinctively wanted to raise the chainsaw to resist.

*Bang!*

A gunshot rang out.

It wasn't aimed at him; it was a warning shot.

A burly figure jumped down from the first police car, holding a Type 92 pistol pointed at the sky.

It was the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, Lei Dapao.
