155 Chapter 155 Escape

Now that she had caused her mother’s death, he felt some sympathy for her.

However, it wasn’t that he sympathized with her, but rather if she would regret her previous betrayal. Would she regret doing it because of Gu Chengrui’s charm despite knowing they couldn’t be together and eventually harming others?

Did she regret it? Of course, Qiao Lanlan regretted it long ago, but she didn’t know Gu Chengrui had saved Zhou Huaiming, so she never felt that she had done anything wrong.

However, after seeing what happened to her mother and having her mother die in her arms, she finally knew what she did wrong.

Just like her father had said, they were enemies. Even if Gu Chengrui knew Zhou Huaiming would harm the Qiao family after he recovered, he wouldn’t have said anything.

At this thought, a glint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

The officer didn’t know what she was thinking, so when he saw her eyes full of hatred, he thought she was targeting him. He went up and gave her a whip. “Let’s go quickly. We can only be safe if we get out of the snow zone as soon as possible.”

After that, he muttered a few words to the others, and they became wary of Qiao Lanlan. If she did anything aggressive, she would be beaten up immediately.

Three days passed just like that. On the night of the third day, an officer quietly called Qiao Lanlan out.

At first, Qiao Lanlan didn’t want to go. She was afraid they would do something to her, but these few days, she had been beaten constantly, so, in the end, she obediently followed.

After walking to some ruins not far away, the officer said, “Go. Someone wants to see you.”

Qiao Lanlan was stunned for a moment. She thought of her brother and immediately walked out.

Under the light of the snow, she could vaguely see that it was a man who wasn’t very tall. There was a person at his feet, or rather, a corpse.

She realized something and quickly said, “Mister, are you here to pick me up?”

“Yes, I heard that your mother is gone?” The man said in a deep voice.

“Yes, it was three days ago.” Qiao Lanlan said indignantly, “Why did you only come now? My mother would still be alive.”

“We can only save one. So, isn’t that great? Or do you prefer that I make a choice?” The man said in a bad mood.

“Scream a few times; the more painful sounding, the better,” said the main.

After saying that, he started to howl like a wolf.

At first, Qiao Lanlan’s face turned pale, but she quickly understood what he meant and started to scream.

When the officer from before came over, he asked Qiao Lanlan to change her clothes quickly.

She tore the clothes apart and threw them near the corpse. Then, Qiao Lanlan realized that the corpse had been bitten to the point that it no longer looked human.

There was a wolf’s corpse on the side, and she was so scared that she couldn’t help but tremble.

“Let’s go, or do you really want to be eaten by wolves?” The man stepped forward to grab her, then immediately turned around and left.

The officer also pretended to shout to attract others’ attention to “her” miserable state. Then he left in a hurry.

Soon, another wolf arrived and tore the corpse into pieces, which were already beyond recognition.

In the county office, Zhou Huaiming handed over the information about the 1000 troops stationed here to County Mayor Kong and said a few words, “I’ll leave the rest to you, Mr. Kong. I’ll be returning to the camp tomorrow.”

“Are you in a hurry? If not, why not leave a day later? Tomorrow, let’s go for another meal of hotpot.” County Mayor Kong suggested.

Zhou Huaiming hesitated for a moment. “Sure, let’s go then. I’ll bring some back if it’s convenient for my cousin.”

“I’ll treat you this time.”

“No need; I’ll pay. You just have to remember to take care of the couple in the future, as long as they don’t break the law.
