Chapter 198 - Head-On Confrontation
As they were not sure how many people were nearby, Wei Ting wanted Su Meng to walk along the shadows so that even if someone caught up from behind, they would not easily see them.
The three of them ran all the way to the bottom of the mountain. The corpse hiding cave they were going to was halfway up the mountain next to it. Therefore, as long as they went down the mountain, it meant that they were almost there.
When they came to the foot of the mountain where they had been during the day, Su Meng was a little worried as she stood below.
She was not good at climbing mountains to begin with. There was still a wounded person here, and only Wei Ting could go up now.
Actually, the best solution right now was for her to wait at the foot of the mountain. However, when she turned around and looked behind her, she saw that there were lights flashing in the distance. Those people must have realized that they had escaped and were looking for them.
She did not know how many people there were. Even if the three of them had gone up, it was still uncertain whether Wei Ting’s employees would be able to handle them.
Even if they called the police now, the police would not come immediately. This place was too remote, so no matter what, their priority now was to protect themselves.
Su Meng looked around and tried to think of a way to save herself. Wei Ting noticed her uneasiness and raised a hand to gently touch the top of Su Meng’s head. He comforted her gently, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Su Meng had never seen Wei Ting be so gentle, especially to her.
After Wei Ting comforted her, the uneasiness in her heart gradually disappeared. Although she still didn’t like Wei Ting, she didn’t doubt his words at all. In her impression, Wei Ting didn’t seem to lie.
“Okay,” Su Meng agreed.
Seeing Su Meng trust him so much without hesitation, Wei Ting smiled slightly and then went up to the cave to find someone.
When Wei Ting returned to the cave, his subordinates were still standing guard. Everyone had only eaten a little compressed food. When they saw Wei Ting return, they all stood up and stood up to greet him. “Boss!”
“Call the police. Tell them that there are criminals here. Also, make preparations. We’ll meet them in a while.” Wei Ting had just seen his subordinates and immediately gave an order. After he finished speaking, he brought a few people down to look for Su Meng.
Wei Ting didn’t say the reason nor did they ask. To them, absolute obedience to orders was the most important thing.
After calling the police, everyone was on alert.
Wei Ting took out a military knife from his bag and handed it to Su Meng. Then, he led Su Meng to the back of a rock at the side and pressed on her shoulder to make her squat down. “Take this knife. It can be used for self-defense at critical moments. Hide here. Don’t come out until I tell you.”
“But the people behind haven’t caught up yet. Why don’t we take this opportunity to leave? The key is that we don’t know how many people there are. It’s very dangerous.” Su Meng was puzzled.
“I’ll explain it to you in the future.” Time was pressing, and he needed to make preparations in advance.
“Okay.” Su Meng agreed. Although she didn’t understand, she knew that the situation was critical now, so she didn’t continue to ask.
She didn’t know how to fight, and she wasn’t as strong as those men. If she stayed outside, she would only be a burden. It was better to hide behind and see if there was anything she could do to help.
Seeing that Su Meng had hidden herself well, Wei Ting turned around and was about to leave when Su Meng suddenly stopped him. “Give me a phone.”
“Here, this is a phone for the police.” Wei Ting gave the phone to Su Meng, and after confirming that her position was safe, he left.
Su Meng hid behind a rock and looked at the back of Wei Ting. She felt that the back of Wei Ting was very familiar, like a person she knew. However, she couldn’t remember who it was.
The others also hid, leaving Wei Ting standing there alone.
Sure enough, they had just hidden for a short while when the people chasing behind arrived.
The Village Chief and a bald man stood in front, followed by about a dozen underlings. Each of them held a weapon in their hands and looked fierce.
“I knew you guys didn’t have good intentions. As expected, you aren’t ordinary people. How could you escape from me?” The Village Chief said these vicious words, but he took a step back and retreated behind the bald man.
