Chapter 107

Xia Miaomiao looked at Qin Shi with fear in her eyes, "Don't...please...don't..."

Seeing Xia Miaomiao's frightened look, Qin Shi became even more excited. He pressed down on Xia Miaomiao and started tearing at her clothes on her chest.

"Ah, let me go! Let me go!"

Xia Miaomiao could no longer feel the pain in her ankles and hands. She struggled desperately.

She had never experienced anything like this before. Unprecedented fear enveloped her as tears streamed down her face.

"Help...help..."

With a tearing sound, her clothes on her chest were ripped apart. Xia Miaomiao hurriedly grabbed a hairpin from her head and fiercely stabbed it towards Qin Shi's neck.

But Qin Shi was a martial arts expert, so it was not easy for Xia Miaomiao to stab his neck. He tilted his head to dodge, and the hairpin only injured Qin Shi's shoulder.

"Hiss..." Qin Shi let out a hiss, seemingly enraged. He viciously ripped Xia Miaomiao's clothes apart, exposing her fair shoulders and corset.

Qin Shi's eyes shone with excitement. He held Xia Miaomiao's hands down, ready to lean over her.

Xia Miaomiao had already closed her eyes in despair.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh", a concealed weapon shot over. Qin Shi immediately rolled over to dodge it, and the weapon plunged into the ground not far away.

"Who's there?" Qin Shi looked up to see a figure flying down from a nearby tree.

At that moment, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as bean-sized raindrops pelted down unexpectedly.

"How dare you pretend to be Hua Wuyou to commit atrocities against women. It seems you are seeking death!" Hua Wuyou flew over and engaged Qin Shi in close combat.

Xia Miaomiao crawled up from the ground. Her clothes were tattered beyond repair, exposing her fair shoulders and corset. She used the torn clothes to cover her chest as tears mixed with rainwater streamed down her wretched face.

She wanted to escape but her ankles were injured by Qin Shi, rendering her unable to move.

She sat helplessly on the ground, hugging her knees and crying uncontrollably.

With a "bang", someone seemed to have crashed onto the ground.

Xia Miaomiao looked up to see that the man who saved her was actually injured by Qin Shi! Qin Shi walked over and looked down condescendingly at Hua Wuyou, mocking him, "I didn't expect the famous flower thief of Chu City, Hua Wuyou, to have such weak martial arts."

Hua Wuyou looked at him and laughed coldly, "What use is the greatest martial arts?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a jade flute from his waist and started playing it.

Qin Shi felt his mind go blank. How could Hua Wuyou be blowing a flute at this time?

But the next moment, he felt a burst of dizziness. The flute sound seemed to pierce his eardrums, giving him a splitting headache.

When he looked over, wanting to attack Hua Wuyou, Hua Wuyou leapt up nimbly. His lightness skill was outstanding. As long as he didn't want to fight with Qin Shi, it would be very difficult for Qin Shi to get near him.

Not only Qin Shi, but Xia Miaomiao, who was not far away, also covered her ears in pain upon hearing the flute sound. She unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Qin Shi also collapsed on the ground writhing in pain. Seeing Xia Miaomiao lose consciousness, Hua Wuyou did not dare continue playing. He flew over, carried Xia Miaomiao up and vanished into the rainy night.

Right after Hua Wuyou left, Wu Ying and Su Mo arrived at the scene.

Seeing a figure on the ground, Su Mo immediately went over and pulled him up.

By now, Qin Shi's hat had already fallen off. Seeing his face, Su Mo was shocked. Her voice was icy cold, "Qin Shi? It's you? Where is Miaomiao?!"

Seeing Su Mo, the headache that plagued Qin Shi also gradually disappeared. He flung his arm out to attack Su Mo. Su Mo leaned back to evade and kicked out.

Qin Shi was kicked to the ground. He got up wanting to flee but how could he escape from Wu Ying?

He was no match for Wu Ying at all and was heavily injured after just a few exchanges.

Su Mo walked over and grabbed Qin Shi's neck, her voice vicious, "I'm asking you, where is Miaomiao?!"

"Hehehehe..." Yet Qin Shi laughed instead. "She has already... been violated by me. I have no regrets even if I die now!"

"You're asking for death!" Su Mo was provoked by his words and exerted more force in her hands.

Seeing that Qin Shi was about to be strangled to death by Su Mo, Wu Ying hurriedly stopped her, "Mo Mo, now is not the time to kill him. We still haven't found Yao Yao."

Although Su Mo really wanted to kill him now, she eventually relaxed her grip.

Wu Ying knocked Qin Shi unconscious with a blow to his head.

Su Mo was unable to accept that something had happened to Xia Miaomiao. Her eyes turned red as she frantically searched around for her.

"Miaomiao, Miaomiao, where are you? Miaomiao!"

Seeing her state, Wu Ying felt a little distressed and pulled her back, "Mo Mo, calm down!"

"How can I calm down? How can you ask me to calm down? It's all my fault, all my fault. Why didn't I stick by her side? Why was I so stupid to fall for their scheme of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"

Wu Ying hugged the out-of-control Su Mo, "This is not your fault! None of us expected this! Calm down. Qin Shi is injured here, which means he must have fought with someone earlier. It's possible that Miaomiao was rescued by that person."

Hearing his words, Su Mo gradually became calm again. "Is that really true?" "If Qin Shi really violated her, shouldn't Miaomiao still be here? Why has she disappeared?"

Su Mo lowered her eyes. Suddenly she caught sight of something silver on the ground. She hurriedly squatted down and pushed aside the mud to reveal a hairpin.

"This is Miaomiao's hairpin that Xiao Han gifted her previously!"

"She must have been rescued by someone."

"Who could have saved her?"

"If the murderer was Qin Shi and not Hua Wuyou, then the one who took Miaomiao away is likely Hua Wuyou. I saw him near Qin Shi's residence before." Wu Ying analyzed.

Su Mo's heart lifted again. "Are they in cahoots? Isn't he just a flower thief?"

"They are not working together. Otherwise, why would Qin Shi be injured just now?" Wu Ying thought for a moment. "I guess it's because Qin Shi borrowed Hua Wuyou's name to abuse women, so Hua Wuyou came after him."

"So is this Hua Wuyou good or bad?"

"This...I'm not too sure either. There are good and bad rumors about him. But since he rescued Miaomiao, he probably doesn't mean her any harm. Let's take Qin Shi back first. We may be able to get some clues from him."

Su Mo knew getting anxious now was futile. They could only bring Qin Shi back for interrogation first.

She looked coldly at Qin Shi. "Make him suffer a fate worse than death!"

...

The downpour came quickly and ended quickly too. By now, the rain had almost stopped.

Hua Wuyou carried Xia Miaomiao into an abandoned farmhouse.

It was covered in dust and cobwebs, clearly no one had lived here for a very long time.

He quickly laid Xia Miaomiao down on the wooden bed. His actions accidentally pulled open her torn clothes, exposing her fair collarbone and corset.

Hua Wuyou was startled, immediately pulled over her shredded clothes to cover her chest.

Xia Miaomiao lay curled up, shivering uncontrollably in her unconscious state.

Both of them were drenched. Hua Wuyou immediately searched the house for some dry firewood and started a fire inside.

He took off his own clothes and hung them nearby to dry.

As the fire grew stronger, the firelight shone on Xia Miaomiao's haggard pale face. Hua Wuyou inadvertently glanced over. In the firelight, he finally got a good look at Xia Miaomiao's appearance.

He stared blankly for a moment, then walked over naked to take a closer look at Xia Miaomiao's face.

Xia Miaomiao's wet hair was draped over her forehead, covering her eyes. Hua Wuyou subconsciously reached out to brush her hair aside.

"It really is you? Little bunny?"

Hua Wuyou suddenly recalled seeing her sitting on the rooftop wearing a bunny mask that day.
