"Boom..."
A muffled thunder split the pitch-dark rainy night, and as lightning streaked across the sky ahead, only the outlines of houses and trees illuminated in pairs were visible — there was no sign of the person they were hoping to see.
"Uncle Liu!"
Xiao Zhao didn't even bother to put on a raincoat as he ran following Liu Su's footsteps.
Behind him, Director Li and the others were frantic with anxiety.
Having two female guests encounter such an ordeal in the evening had made them furious, but hearing that Shen Yan hadn't returned, and with the heavy rain pouring, their distress was heightened.
Calling the police would mean waiting until tomorrow for someone to come and deal with the situation — this wasn't domestic territory, where a call to the police would bring immediate assistance. Even if the police arrived, it was not certain they could reclaim justice for them.
