Chapter 281 - 281 204 Wenyans Birthmark

Chapter 281: Chapter 204 Wenyan’s Birthmark Chapter 281: Chapter 204 Wenyan’s Birthmark Wenyan nodded vigorously.

Then the man relaxed his grip, and continued in his hoarse, broken voice:

“If you don’t scream, I’ll let you go.”

Wenyan nodded even more forcefully, but she didn’t dare to look directly at him.

It was a face beyond recognition.

It looked like it had been burned by fire. Three-quarters of his face was ruined beyond recognition, and you couldn’t tell what he originally looked like. When he suddenly appeared, Wenyan was truly almost scared out of her wits.

His vocal cords seemed to be damaged as well, but from his build, you could tell he was a man, and the skin on the palms of his exposed hands was intact.

From the condition of the skin on his hands, he seemed to be a middle-aged man, no longer young.

As she was frantically thinking all this, he had already untied the ropes binding Wenyan and Shen Jingchuan.

Although Shen Jingchuan had realized that their rescuer might be a person with a terrifying appearance, he had mentally prepared himself somewhat.

But when he actually saw the man, he subconsciously shielded Wenyan behind himself.

Even though such an action might seem offensive to someone who had just saved them, Shen Jingchuan still used his body to cover Wenyan completely.

However, Wenyan didn’t intend to stay hidden behind Shen Jingchuan all the time.

She quickly stepped out.

Seeing this, Shen Jingchuan immediately grabbed her hand.

The two exchanged glances, and Wenyan shook her head at him.

Then both of them spoke in unison to the middle-aged man before them, “Thank you for saving us!”

The disfigured man didn’t look at them but quickly put on the hood of his jacket to cover his face.

“Didn’t expect to run into anyone here in the middle of the night, so I didn’t wear a mask, sorry for scaring you. Come with me, it’s not safe to linger here, I’ll take you to a safe place.”

Despite his words, Wenyan and Shen Jingchuan were still somewhat wary.

While walking out, Shen Jingchuan asked the disfigured man,

“Would it be okay to ask why you happened to be here at this time? To my knowledge, this seems to be an abandoned industrial park, full of unattended factories.”

The disfigured man, focused on leading the way in front, answered without turning his head.

“Strictly speaking, this place isn’t exactly abandoned, but it has indeed been desolate for a long time and it is being watched. I’m the caretaker here. My partner should have already been here earlier; it was he who led the two bad guys away, giving me the chance to rescue you.”

“So the person patrolling earlier was your partner!” Wenyan couldn’t help but interject and ask, “Is he going to be in danger dealing with those two crooks by himself? We didn’t see him earlier, but it sounded like he had an electric bike; he should be fine, right?”

“We’re pretty familiar with this place, I think he won’t have any problems. But I can’t be certain. However, we’d already agreed that if he managed to lure them away successfully, he’d return to our hideout first, and then I would bring you two to meet up with him.”

No sooner had he finished speaking, the disfigured man suddenly turned and grabbed Shen Jingchuan’s arm.

Shen Jingchuan had been holding Wenyan’s hand, and as the disfigured man grabbed him, he pulled on Wenyan, and the three of them quickly ducked into a small corner.

The disfigured man immediately lowered his voice to explain, “Those two came back in the car, you guys keep quiet for now.”

Wenyan and Shen Jingchuan knew this without him saying it.

For a while, the small space was filled only with the sound of their breathing.

The car soon stopped in front of the abandoned factory they had just escaped from, but not long after, the stammering and angry cursing of the man in the fur coat could be heard.

“Damn it! They’ve escaped! Go after them. That bastard definitely had accomplices!”

“Which way should we go after them?”

“How the hell would I know, just search around!”

The two of them quickly got back in the car and zoomed past where Wenyan and the others were hiding.

Only when they couldn’t hear the sound of the car anymore did the three of them stand up.

Nothing happened when the disfigured man and Shen Jingchuan stood up, but when it was Wenyan’s turn, there was a ‘ripping’ sound.

At that instant, she felt an unbearable pain in her lower back.

But she endured it without making a sound, just hissing in pain.

Hearing this, Shen Jingchuan immediately wrapped his arm around Wenyan’s shoulder.
