Gu Wan was awakened by the pain. When she fell off the cliff, her whole body was scratched by the messy rocks and branches. There was not a single part of her body that was unscathed. Large and small bruises and wounds were all over her exposed delicate skin. Some places were still oozing blood. It looked extremely horrifying.
"En …"
She groaned in pain and slowly woke up. What came into her eyes was an old light bulb and a dusty wooden beam. The air was filled with a damp and musty smell.
She turned her head and slowly observed her surroundings. The old TV and the heavily worn wooden furniture, as well as the thin and weak young man sitting in front of the simple table in a daze.
"Cough, cough."
The young man woke up with a start and looked ecstatically at the awakened Gu Wan. Then, as if he thought of something, he pushed open the door and ran out. It seemed like he was going to find an adult.
Gu Wan quickly saw the owner of the house. The owner was an old and lonely old man. The child beside him was said to be a poor child who was picked up many years ago. He was very sensible, but he didn't know how to speak. Thinking about it, it was probably the main reason why he was abandoned.
She learned from the old man's narration that the note was washed down by the river. If the child hadn't discovered it early and informed the adults in time to save her, Gu Wan would have been in danger.
Even so, Gu Wan was still unconscious for a full three days before she woke up. Fortunately, her body didn't suffer any serious internal injuries. Some of them were just scratches from falling off the cliff. They looked fierce but were actually not serious.
It was just that the conditions of the farmer's family were limited. In addition, this place was located in a mountainous area and the traffic was not smooth. They couldn't invite a doctor with good medical skills to treat Gu Wan. They could only use the medicine prescribed by the barefoot doctor in the village. Therefore, the wounds healed slowly and it was very likely that there would be scars.
When Gu Wan heard this news, she didn't take it too seriously. She had just done a simple examination on herself. Although there were many wounds, most of them were not deep.
Moreover, it was already a blessing in disguise that she was still alive. As for the scars, it was not difficult to remove them now that medical technology was so advanced.
No matter what, it was already a miracle that Gu Wan was still alive after falling from such a high cliff. Her top priority now was to find a way to inform Gong Mohan and get him to bring her back as soon as possible.
Gu Wan had been in a coma for three days, which meant that the outside world must have been in a mess. If there was still no news from him, things would get even more out of hand.
When the time came, there would definitely be a lot of media who would write nonsense and question the Miyagi and the Ou Shang crew. In the end, even if she wanted to clarify things, she would not be able to do so with a few words.
Gu Wan called the mute boy over and asked him to call the old lady over. She had looked around the house before. Other than an old television that had long been broken, there were no other electronic devices, let alone things like mobile phones. If she wanted to contact Gong Mohan, she would probably have to find another way.
Gu Wan looked at the lonely old lady in front of her and said with a weak voice, "Grandma, do you know where I can find a phone here?"
Although the old lady had lived in this village for most of her life, she still knew some things about the outside world. She said slowly, "There's a phone booth at the entrance of the village, but it's a bit far away. With your current physical condition, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to make it there."
The phone booth at the entrance of the village was installed by a family who had returned from working outside many years ago. They had earned some money to repay the kind-hearted villagers who had always supported their family.
The phone booth had been exposed to the wind and rain for so many years, and the villagers had always pooled their money together to hire a maintenance technician. Fortunately, times had improved in recent years, and many young people could afford to buy mobile phones. Very few people still used this public phone.
However, Gu Wan had nothing to be picky about now. As long as she could make a phone call, there was nothing else she could ask for.
The old lady did not want Gu Wan, who was seriously injured, to run so far. Besides, it was still raining outside. It would be troublesome if she got wet and caught a cold. However, seeing how stubborn Gu Wan was, she could only compromise and let the mute boy help her to the entrance of the village.
Gu Wan carefully moved her heavy body along the way. Although every step she took would affect the wounds on her body, and the pain was unbearable, she could only grit her teeth and endure it to be able to contact Gong Mohan.
However, when Gu Wan finally dialed the familiar phone number, the familiar voice in her heart did not come from the public phone. Instead, it was an emotionless female mechanical voice that kept repeating:
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later …"
Gu Wan did not believe it and hung up the phone. She tried to call a few more times, but no one answered. She suddenly felt a little disheartened.
The mute boy who was supporting her poked her and gestured with his hands. Although Gu Wan could not understand the other party's sign language, she could read the boy's concern for her from his eyes.
Gu Wan put down the phone and turned to the kind-hearted boy with a smile. She comforted him and said, "It's okay, don't worry. Let's go back now. It's going to rain hard soon."
She could not contact Gong Mohan now. Although she was anxious, there was nothing she could do. The phone booth had to be broken at this time. She could only go back to the farmer's house first and think of other ways.
In fact, what Gu Wan did not know was that the phone booth was not broken, but it had been tampered with. Someone wanted her life, so naturally, they could not let Gong Mohan find her.
The person who had the evil intention found Gu Wan's whereabouts before Gong Mohan and the others. He knew that Gu Wan would definitely contact Gong Mohan as soon as possible, so he asked someone to tamper with the only public phone in the village and hack the communication device.
The killer he sent was also on the way. Danger was slowly approaching Gu Wan, who did not notice anything unusual.
The employees of the Miyagi Group had clearly sensed Gong Mohan's abnormality in the past few days. The other party was like a time bomb that was about to explode, and if the employees under him made the slightest mistake, he would scold them until their heads were covered in dog blood.
Moreover, even the workload was more than three times that of before. The employees in the company were forced to work until late at night every day before going out in exhaustion, causing everyone to complain. God knows how many employees were exhausted from the intense workload for many days.
However, the person with the most pressure was currently sitting in the top floor office of the Miyagi Group, busying himself. Assistants and secretaries frequently went in and out, bringing with them a large pile of documents that had been processed or not processed.
Suddenly, someone rushed into Gong Mohan's office empty-handed, causing many employees who passed by to suck in a breath of cold air. If they disturbed Gym Tung at this time, they would definitely be reprimanded miserably.
"Boss, there's news!"
Gong Mohan was busy dealing with the documents in his hands, when he suddenly heard his subordinate's words, he stood up and quickly walked to the front of the person, grabbed him by the collar, and fiercely asked: "Where?!"
Gong Mohan had been waiting for so long, and finally had news of Gu Wan. He was so excited that he could not control the strength in his hands, and seeing that the other party's face had turned into the color of a pig's liver due to the difficulty in breathing, the assistant, in order to prevent a murder case from happening, made a timely move to save this pitiful subordinate.
"Gym Tung, calm down first. Let him go and let him speak slowly."
Only then did Gong Mohan react. He immediately let go of his hand, took a deep breath to suppress his restless emotions, and asked sternly: "Where is Gu Wan's current location, tell me the truth!"
The subordinate gasped for breath with difficulty and stammered, "My brothers have found out that someone saw a woman who looked very similar to Madam in the village downstream. Furthermore, judging from her attire and the time she appeared, she is undoubtedly Madam herself!"
Although Gu Wan was unable to get through to Gong Mohan's phone, it just so happened that there were a few young people in the village who were going out to work recently. The news of picking up an unfamiliar woman quickly spread throughout the entire village.
These young people also ran over to take a look at Gu Wan out of curiosity. They didn't expect that when they arrived outside, they would discover that the identity of the person they picked up was not simple. That was why they tried to contact Gong Mohan's subordinates.
After Gong Mohan found out the ins and outs of the situation, he immediately arranged for people to prepare to welcome Gu Wan. From his subordinates, he found out that Gu Wan's injuries were not light, and his heart ached.
She was his lover, whom he held in the palm of his hand. In the end, because of his negligence, she suffered so much. How could Gong Mohan not blame himself?
However, what Gong Mohan didn't expect was that he actually met another group of people on the way to the village where Gu Wan was. Although he had doubts about the black Volkswagen, he didn't think much about it because he was worried about Gu Wan.
Gong Mohan didn't suspect the person in the Volkswagen, but the other party didn't think so. The assassin sent by the disloyal people recognized Gong Mohan's identity. He was surprised how he could find Gu Wan's traces so quickly.
But more importantly, he was trying to make as much trouble as possible so that Gong Mohan couldn't find Gu Wan at the same time as him. Otherwise, his assassination mission would be discovered by the other party.
With Gong Mohan's power and skills, the assassin was absolutely no match for him, not to mention getting rid of the target of this mission. He was afraid that whether he could escape unscathed was a problem.
The assassin thought about it and absolutely could not allow Gong Mohan to reach the destination one step ahead of him, so he could only find a way to do something to the other party's car.
He rummaged through the only things in the car, and God rewarded those who worked hard. He found a box of nails. As long as he could drive these things into Gong Mohan's tires and make it look like he had a flat tire, Gong Mohan would be helpless in this wilderness.
The assassin prepared a very elastic rubber band and made a simple crossbow. He shot the nails into the car that Gong Mohan was in without anyone noticing. In order to be safe, he specially shot a few more nails into the car.
Sure enough, after driving for a while, Gong Mohan's car began to have problems and was forced to stop in the emergency lane. The assassin quickly drove away from Gong Mohan.
