7 Chapter 7: Mr. Huangfu, you don't need to hug me

Machine Translation

Her ankles and knees were bruised and swollen. It was so painful.

"What should I do?" Tang Xiaowei bit her lip while enduring the pain.

Should she still run away now?

Or should she resign herself to fate and ask the Huangfu family for help?

If she asked for help, Huangfu Qiye would definitely send more people to keep an eye on her because of attempted escape today. If she wanted to escape in the future, she wouldn't have such a good opportunity like today.

However, if she didn't call for help, she would stay here forever. Not only would her injured leg not be taken care of, she might even be attacked by some scary little animal that fell into the trap.

Just thinking about it made her feel scared.

She had no choice but to take a deep breath, close her eyes, and look out of the hole. She shouted, "Help!"

"Is anyone there?"

"Is someone in the forest in trouble?"

"Call for help, call for help. Is anyone there? I'm injured, please help..."

"Mr. Huangfu Qiye, please help me..."

...

However, after shouting for a few minutes, no one responded to her.

She was starting to worry because she had run into the depths of the forest and fallen into a trap, so could her voice be heard from the outside?

What should she do then?

In fact, outside the forest, the security guards on night duty had heard her voice. Although it was very weak and small, they still heard it.

However, Yuan Qi had just brought young master's orders, saying that no one was allowed to enter the forest tonight, and no one was allowed to go near Miss Tang. Therefore, even if someone heard Tang Xiaowei's whistle, no one dared to enter the forest.

Yet someone still brought this situation to Huangfu Qiye.

In the Huangfu family's manor, Tang Xiaowei's voice could not be heard. The people who heard her earlier had done so because they were standing at the edge of the forest.

When Huangfu Qiye heard Yuan Qi's report that Tang Xiaowei had entered the forest for less than half an hour and called for help, his expression did not change. As he had yet to rest, he turned on his computer and checked the surveillance cameras in the forest

From the surveillance cameras, he discovered that she was only scared away by a harmless snake and fell into the trap.

Since there were no surveillance cameras inside the trap, he could not tell that she was in danger. He also did not see that she was injured. He only thought that she was afraid of staying inside the trap, so he instructed Yuan Qi, "It's the same as before. Ignore her and let her suffer."

Yuan Qi took Huangfu Qiye's words to the other security guards and bodyguards, so everyone unanimously ignored Tang Xiaowei's cry for help.

In the forest.

Tang Xiaowei felt that she had been shouting for at least ten minutes.

Her voice was hoarse, but there was still no answer from outside, and no one responded to her.

She finally knew that if she shouted in this place, the people outside wouldn't be able to hear her.

Since they couldn't hear her, then she wouldn't shout.

She leaned against the wall of the trap and closed her eyes to rest.

It seemed that she could only wait until the Huangfu family members went to her room and found that she was gone before coming out to look for her. Only then would they be able to find her in this place.

Based on the current situation, she would probably have to wait until the next day.

However, because it had rained yesterday, the dirt in the trap had stuck all over her body. She really didn't want to stay in this damned place any longer.

... ...

The blinding light caused Tang Xiaowei, who was half asleep, to immediately wake up.

When she opened her eyes, she discovered that there were countless dazzling beams of light shining down from the surroundings of the trap.

She could not see clearly who those people were, but she quickly remembered that she had escaped from the Huangfu family last night and fell into this trap.

After that, she unknowingly fell asleep.

Now, who was the one who found her up there? Was it someone from the Huangfu family?

Tang Xiaowei only had a few seconds to think about these things. Before she could react, a cold male voice came from above.

"Tang Xiaowei, do you like places like this very much?"

The voice was full of mockery and coldness.

Tang Xiaowei was stunned. Then she remembered that this voice was a little familiar. It was very similar to Huangfu Qiye. Not only was the voice similar, but the tone was also the same, arrogant and cold.

She covered her eyes with her hand so that she didn't have to squint to look up.

"Is it Mr. Huangfu?" she gritted her teeth and asked.

The man's low reply came from above, "What do you think?''

"Mr. Huangfu, can you help me get out of here? I'm injured. If I don't treat my wound, my leg will be crippled." She didn't care how sarcastic his tone was.

She naturally knew that he would definitely be angry if he discovered that she ran away on her own.

"Are you still running away?" Huangfu Qiye's cold voice came.

"You saved me, so I won't run away. I'll listen to you and learn etiquette." In order to survive and to treat her injured leg and ankle, Tang Xiaowei agreed without thinking.

But whether she would listen to him and learn etiquette in the end would depend on her mood in the future.

For now, she was just lying to him.

Standing on the trap, Huangfu Qiye's expression was hidden in the dark night.

At first, he thought that Tang Xiaowei wasn't injured and that she had just fallen into the trap.

That was why at this moment, he had brought people to save her in the early hours of the morning and to scare her so that she wouldn't dare to think of running away again.

But the flashlight beam just now had let him see clearly that she was indeed injured.

After she woke up, she also said that she was hurt and had promised to obediently learn etiquette in the future.

Huangfu Qiye looked at her pitiful appearance. Although he did not believe that she would agree so easily (he could not see why), after seeing how injured she was, he could not bear to let her continue to stay in the trap.

He instructed his personal bodyguards, Yuan Shan and Yuan Qi, "Bring her up. Be careful and don't touch her wound."

Yuan Shan and Yuan Qi nodded and one of them jumped into the trap while the other threw a rope down. The one who jumped down was Yuan Qi. He tied the rope to Tang Xiaowei's body and shouted, "You can pull."

Tang Xiaowei was pulled up.

In order to prevent the surrounding walls from hurting her, Yuan Qi and Yuan Shan were very careful.

Tang Xiaowei was pulled up very quickly. Someone from above immediately came over to help her up, wanting to carry her.

At that moment, Huangfu Qiye walked over. He frowned and bent down slightly, lifting her up with his hands, and then sweeping her into his arms.

The surrounding bodyguards did not say anything and lowered their heads.

Tang Xiaowei also felt that it was very strange for him to hug her like this.

She looked at his chin in fear and didn't dare to look into his eyes. She asked, "Mr. Huangfu, you don't need to hug me. Just let the others help me walk. I only injured one leg."

"Shut up!" Huangfu Qiye looked at her coldly and carried her out.

The others followed closely. As for Yuan Qi, who was in the trap, he also climbed out in a few moments.

The group walked out of the forest silently.
