156: Chapter 156 Falling off a cliff

A few minutes later, Lin Yi spat out a mouthful of blood and calmly wiped his mouth.

"Alright, it's fine now."

"You should be able to walk, right?"

"Get up quickly. While I still remember the way we came, let's hurry back."

Liang Yuexin tried to stand up, trembling.

Because of that strange sensation just now, Liang Yuexin's legs were a bit weak.

She leaned against a nearby tree and finally managed to stand up.

Once she was standing, Liang Yuexin instinctively grabbed Lin Yi's hand tightly.

It was pitch black all around, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

She didn't know how many dangers were still lurking in the dark.

Right now, Lin Yi was Liang Yuexin's only reliance.

Therefore, she held onto Lin Yi's hand tightly, not daring to let go at all.

Carrying Liang Yuexin, who was a burden, Lin Yi walked with extra caution.

If he were walking alone, he wouldn't need to be this careful; after all, his physical fitness level was high, so it wasn't easy for him to sprain his ankle.

On the way here, he had encountered dead trees blocking the path several times, and he had simply kicked them apart.

But now, with Liang Yuexin, he couldn't walk so effortlessly.

He could only slowly probe the path as he walked.

...

The two of them walked like this, stumbling step by step.

As they walked, Lin Yi suddenly heard some movement.

He stopped in his tracks immediately, his gaze becoming alert.

Liang Yuexin was curious and just as she was about to ask what happened, Lin Yi covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shh, don't speak, there are people!"

Lin Yi whispered in Liang Yuexin's ear.

Lin Yi could hear a few people talking not far away.

He could conclude that these few people were definitely not from Zuimeng Group to pick them up.

Because these men were not speaking Chinese at all!

Instead, they had a Southeast Asian accent.

Strange, it was almost midnight; what were these people trying to do by gathering in the primeval forest area?

Furthermore, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that Vice General Manager Wei Zhiru had told him that Zuimeng Island had just opened and the tourists visiting the island were all Chinese.

It was impossible for there to be foreigners.

So where did these people come from?

Lin Yi signaled for Liang Yuexin to stay put and not move, then he quietly crept towards that group of people.

"System, can you let me understand what they are saying?"

"Ding, host's intent detected."

"Exchanging for Thailand language proficiency, consuming a total of 12 Points."

"Ding, exchange successful!"

A surge of knowledge spread through Lin Yi's mind.

Lin Yi instantly mastered the entire Thailand language.

The conversation of those men also became clear instantly.

"Boss, we've been lying in ambush here all night, will it be effective?"

"What if that woman doesn't come tomorrow? Won't our kidnapping plan fall through?"

"If you ask me, we might as well just storm into the hotel where she's staying tonight and abduct her. Wouldn't that be more convenient?"

"Nonsense. If we did that, we'd be caught within half a day."

"Don't forget, this is China, not the lawless place back home!"

"Besides, do you know the other party's identity?"

"She is the daughter of the premier pharmaceutical group in Shanghai!"

"If someone like that goes missing, they will definitely order a thorough investigation!"

"Rest assured, that woman's assistant and bodyguard have already been bought off. According to the plan, that woman will come here to explore tomorrow."

"We will stage an accident, making it look like she fell off a cliff, and then kidnap her back."

"Even if that group of people comes looking later, they will only think she accidentally fell into the underground river."

"The situation here is so complex, who knows where she would be washed away to after falling in?"

"Hmph!"

"Once we take her back to Thailand, they won't be able to reach us."

"By then, we can name whatever ransom we want, right?"

The leading man had a terrifying scar on his left cheek.

It looked particularly ghastly under the faint moonlight.

Lin Yi squinted and looked carefully; the waists of those men were bulging, as if they were carrying weapons.

"People from Thailand, coming to my turf to kidnap someone."

"Lawless..."

It was also Lin Yi's first time encountering something like this.

Rashly attacking now was clearly not a wise move.

The other party was very likely carrying "the truth" with them.

As the saying goes, everyone is equal before the truth.

Although his physical fitness level was at level 6, rushing out now would only result in one outcome: being shot into a sieve.

Lin Yi wouldn't take that risk.

The only plan for now was to retreat, quickly find a way out, leave the primeval forest area, and then call the police.

Professional matters should still be left to the professionals.

Lin Yi lowered his center of gravity and slowly retreated.

At this moment, a kidnapper suddenly walked towards Lin Yi's side.

"Boss, I'm going to take a leak!"

At this moment, Lin Yi was less than ten meters away from that kidnapper.

If that kidnapper got any closer, he would definitely discover Lin Yi.

And Lin Yi couldn't leave quickly at this moment.

If he did that, the commotion would be too loud, and he would expose himself.

Lin Yi was immediately caught in a dilemma.

If he were alone, there might be a chance to run away.

But Liang Yuexin was not far behind him.

With Liang Yuexin's physical condition, she definitely couldn't run fast.

If they were discovered, it would be a dead end.

Lin Yi was quickly calculating various methods in his mind.

But he couldn't think of a foolproof plan.

Seeing that the kidnapper was almost in front of him, Lin Yi steeled his heart.

The figure hidden in the grass suddenly lunged out.

A punch, gathering all his strength, landed heavily on the kidnapper's neck.

Lin Yi's movements were as fast as lightning; the kidnapper had no time to react.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the kidnapper clutched his neck and knelt down in pain.

A mouthful of blood also slowly flowed out from his mouth.

Lin Yi knew that after this punch, this man would definitely have no chance of survival.

The other kidnappers would soon discover the commotion here.

He had to use this time difference to take Liang Yuexin and leave quickly.

Lin Yi reached into the kidnapper's chest and sure enough, felt a metallic object.

With a weapon in hand, Lin Yi felt a bit more secure.

Snatching the pistol from the other party, Lin Yi was just about to turn and run away.

But just at the moment the kidnapper fell to the ground, the other few kidnappers immediately walked over alertly.

Lin Yi knew well the principle that even a good tiger can't fight a pack of wolves.

Now that the enemy was numerous and he was alone, and visibility was poor, running away was the best strategy.

Seeing a few people surrounding him, Lin Yi lifted the fallen kidnapper horizontally and threw him high towards them, intending to use this to delay some time.

Those few kidnappers didn't hesitate at all; seeing something flying over, they opened fire directly.

The poor kidnapper whose neck had been broken by Lin Yi traced an arc through the air.

Before he even landed, he was riddled with dozens of bullet holes.

"Damn, they even have rifles!"

Hearing the continuous gunfire, Lin Yi's heart tightened.

He hurriedly ran towards Liang Yuexin.

"Don't just stand there! Run!"

Since he was already exposed, Lin Yi simply shouted directly at Liang Yuexin.

Liang Yuexin was also startled by the sound of gunfire, and hearing Lin Yi's words, she finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly turned to run.

She cried while running.

She couldn't have imagined that in just one night, she would encounter so many things.

Now she was even being chased by people with guns.

This kind of plot from a movie was actually happening to her in reality.

"Chu Sen, I hate you!"

"It's all your fault!"

Liang Yuexin wished she could tear Chu Sen apart right now.

If it weren't for Chu Sen, she wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.

Suddenly, a cliff appeared in front of Liang Yuexin.

It was dark, and she couldn't see the path at all.

Liang Yuexin didn't react in time, stepped into empty air, and fell straight down.

Seeing this, Lin Yi instinctively reached out to grab Liang Yuexin's hand, but the strong momentum caused him to lose his balance as well, and he fell down along with her.
