Rivals in love seeing each other are particularly hateful, and furthermore, there was a deep-seated hatred between the two of them.
Lin Qiutong never expected Song Qinian to dare to hit her, "Song Qinian, you dare to hit me!"
The two women started fighting in the snow. Girls fighting had no skill whatsoever; they pulled clothes, pulled hair, and hit whatever they could grab.
Song Qinian had never fought with anyone before, and coupled with her physical exhaustion, she was no match for Lin Qiutong.
Lin Qiutong pinned Song Qinian to the ground and slapped her several times. Song Qinian felt dizzy and disoriented, but her heart was with Shen Chiyan and Lin Qiutong, so she could only fight Lin Qiutong desperately.
She grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and threw it at Lin Qiutong's face. As Lin Qiutong instinctively brushed the snow away, Song Qinian kicked her hard, pushing her down a small slope.
"Ah... Song Qinian, I'm not done with you!"
Lin Qiutong tumbled down, her clothes and shoes covered in mud and snow. She was almost going insane.
"Ah Yan..."
Thinking of Shen Chiyan, she had to climb back up.
Before Lin Qiutong could climb up, Song Qinian used the same method to push the blood onto Shen Chiyan's fingertip and then cut his hand with a knife.
Due to the high fever, Shen Chiyan's fingertip bled dark red blood.
This method was something her grandmother used to do when she had a persistent high fever as a child and medicine was ineffective – drawing blood with a needle to reduce the fever. She hoped it would work.
Lin Qiutong finally climbed up and saw Song Qinian wiping snow from Shen Chiyan's fingertip, then she fiercely pushed Song Qinian, "Song Qinian, you dare to kill Ah Yan!"
Song Qinian was already exhausted. She slumped to the ground, panting heavily, with no energy to pay attention to Lin Qiutong.
After a brief rest, she wet her scarf with snow again and placed it on Shen Chiyan's forehead.
"Water... Water..."
Shen Chiyan suddenly opened his mouth. He was deeply unconscious, and his words were merely instinctual.
In Shen Chiyan's condition, he needed to drink water.
Song Qinian, regardless of whether Lin Qiutong could understand sign language, gestured to her, "We have to carry him and move forward!"
Lin Qiutong wanted to kill Song Qinian, but she knew very well that she couldn't get Ah Yan out of this forest alone. She could only use Song Qinian for now.
Thus, the two women temporarily stopped fighting and dragged Shen Chiyan forward.
Finally, Song Qinian heard the sound of running water. She pointed in one direction and gestured to Lin Qiutong, "There seems to be running water over there. Go get some."
Lin Qiutong naturally refused. She hugged Shen Chiyan tightly, "If you want to go, you go. I want to stay with Ah Yan. I will never leave Ah Yan's side."
Song Qinian was too tired, but Lin Qiutong clearly wouldn't listen to her, and Shen Chiyan needed water. So, she had to get up to find water.
However, before leaving, she still gestured to Lin Qiutong with concern, "Shen Chiyan is very weak right now. You'd better behave and guard him. Also, I don't know if those assassins are still around. You'd better stay vigilant."
Upon hearing the word "assassins," Lin Qiutong's expression changed slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
But Song Qinian was in a hurry to find water and didn't notice this.
After watching Song Qinian walk away, Lin Qiutong immediately helped Shen Chiyan up. She had been conserving her energy all along, just to shake off Song Qinian.
But Shen Chiyan was too heavy. She couldn't walk far while dragging him.
However, no matter what, she had to move!
"Fifth Master... Miss Song..."
Not long after they walked, Lin Qiutong heard Gao Kunlun's voice. Her heart leaped with joy, and she immediately put down Shen Chiyan and shouted in the direction of the sound, "Gao Kunlun, we are here! Ah Yan and I are both here!"
When Gao Kunlun heard Lin Qiutong's voice, he rushed over immediately, with several people following behind him.
Seeing Shen Chiyan's serious injuries, Gao Kunlun's expression changed drastically. He rushed forward and supported him, "Fifth Master, how are you?"
Lin Qiutong began to cry hysterically, "Ah Yan was shot and beaten, and he bled a lot. He now has a high fever, and I'm so scared..."
"Don't worry! Fifth Master will be alright!"
"Yes, it's good that you arrived in time. Let's leave here quickly and take Ah Yan to the hospital!"
Gao Kunlun nodded, then looked around, "Miss Lin, did you see my young madam?"
Seeing Gao Kunlun still call Song Qinian "young madam," Lin Qiutong felt extremely disgusted. "Gao Kunlun, if I remember correctly, Ah Yan and Song Qinian are divorced!"
"Ah..."
Gao Kunlun was a bit surprised that Lin Qiutong was still concerned about a title at this moment.
But soon, Lin Qiutong cried again, "I don't know. When I found Ah Yan, he was lying alone in the snow, on the verge of death. Perhaps that woman Song Qinian saw that someone was chasing Ah Yan and ran away first."
Gao Kunlun retorted without thinking, "Impossible!"
Realizing his emotions were too strong, Gao Kunlun said angrily, "Miss Song is not that kind of person."
Lin Qiutong was filled with anger. This damned Gao Kunlun was still defending Song Qinian at such a time.
Was Song Qinian that good in his eyes?
But she couldn't show it, so she said aggrievedly, "Then perhaps she and Ah Yan split up and ran. Anyway, I didn't see her!"
Gao Kunlun wanted to say something more, but Lin Qiutong said anxiously, "Miss Song grew up in the countryside. Perhaps she has already run out. And Ah Yan is in critical condition now. You are still wasting time. Gao Kunlun, if anything happens to Ah Yan, I won't let you off!"
Gao Kunlun was also very worried about Shen Chiyan. He said to two of his subordinates, "I'll take Fifth Master to the hospital first. You two stay here and search thoroughly for the young madam. Make sure to find her."
"Yes!"
The two bodyguards in black immediately started searching. Lin Qiutong looked at their retreating backs and smirked.
Song Qinian, let's see if heaven will help you this time!
In the car, Lin Qiutong kept holding Shen Chiyan's hand and crying. Gao Kunlun glanced at her. She was dirty, her hair was disheveled, and she had sweat profusely. She looked quite disheveled.
Gao Kunlun was still uneasy because he hadn't found Song Qinian. At this moment, he noticed the scarf around Shen Chiyan's neck and asked, "Miss Lin, this scarf..."
Lin Qiutong's heart skipped a beat, and then she quickly said, "This is my scarf. Ah Yan had a fever, and I didn't know what to do, so I used the snow on the ground to wet the scarf and wrapped it around Ah Yan's neck."
Gao Kunlun nodded, "You've been through a lot, Miss Lin. Thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, given Fifth Master's condition, he would have been in grave danger by the time we found him."
Lin Qiutong shook her head slightly and sobbed, "As long as Ah Yan is safe and healthy, I'll do anything."
