Power of Money

Chapter 143

The wooden house looked small and a little rundown.

Hidden in the towering forest, if they had not come nearer, it would have been hard to detect.

They arrived at the end of the mountain path.

Seeing the surprised expression on everyone's face, Abbott explained with a smile, "Mike and I are fans of farmland living. We hate the buildings and cars in the city, so as soon as we came here, we were introduced to this area by our friends and bought this small house."

"I see, please ask your friend to come out and meet us. We are very anxious, apologies." Jason nodded and said.

"OK, it's very simple."

Abbott turned around and shouted at the door, "Mike, I brought four friends over. They came here because they want to look for the girl in the red skirt, and hope to get your help." At this time, the mountain wind was already very strong.

Accompanied by the faint thunder, the dark clouds overhead, it became very dim around them as well.

Creak...

The wooden door was pushed open, and a man walked out of the house.

"Hey Mike, these are some friends who need your help. You can tell them where the girl in the red skirt and the two men have gone." Abbott introduced them enthusiastically.

"Oh, sorry, I'm guessing they headed in the direction of the back mountain. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to catch up with them at your current speed."

Mike pointed to a mountain path next to the wooden house and said apologetically.

"To the back mountain?" John said anxiously, "The back mountain hasn't been fully developed yet. I heard that there are a lot of wolves and wild boars there. Why did they bring Sherry to that kind of place? I hope that it's not to dispose of the corpse..."

At this point, John shivered and stopped talking.

"Don't talk nonsense. Since we already know where they are, we'd better go back first. When we meet the police, we'll report what we've found to them in detail."

Although every boy had a dream of being a detective.

But looking at the impending storm that was about to fall on the deep forest, and two missing men, along with Sherry whose condition was unknown, everyone was a little nervous and wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

"Well, thank you for your help. It's going to rain, we'll go back first." After saying that, Jason turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey beautiful lady, are you really not going to consider my previous proposal to be our model?" Abbott shouted, not giving up.

Lusa just stopped for a moment, then turned around and walked down the mountain with Jason.

Crash!

Loud thunder cut through the sky.

Nandu, which had been dull for half a month, finally received the first storm at the end of summer.

Rain started coming down heavily, and the whole mountain forest seemed to be covered with a dense rain curtain. The rain poured on everyone, and even their vision became blurred in an instant.

"What should we do? Should we go down the mountain?"

As soon as the rain began to fall, the few of them panicked.

"Don't worry about it. Let's go back by the same route!" Jason growled, grabbed Lusa and started running downhill.

"What's wrong, Jason? Did something happen?" Although John and Colin hadn't reacted yet, they noticed that Jason and Lusa's faces did not look too good. They didn't care much and hurriedly followed them down.

Abbott was stunned. He knew that these students had already seen through their intentions.

He hurried to chase after them and shouted at his friend at the same time, "Mike, don't let them run away!"

Upon hearing this, John and Colin suddenly shivered with fear. Only then did they understand and began to run down the mountain like crazy.

"D*mn, why didn't that b*tch tell us that those guys felt odd? Fourth, how did you see through that?" John shouted while running.

"STYLING did not even enter the China market. The Newhouse family boss once invited Yennie Jiang to be the CEO of the magazine, but she rejected because she didn't want to marry Samuelson's grandson!"

The Newhouse family?

Yennie Jiang?

Although John and Colin were confused, when they saw Jason's solemn face, they had to nod and then ran down the mountain desperately.

But the rain was too heavy.

It was heavy enough to prevent people from looking up the path clearly. They kept falling, Colin slipped twice but was grabbed by the quick-handed John.

They ran so fast, but Abbott and the other man were not slow either.

Seeing that they were about to catch up with them, Lusa shook off Jason's hand, took off her backpack, and threw it behind her without looking back.

"F*ck!"

First, a curse came from behind them. Then, because of the strength, she used to throw the bag, Lusa lost her balance. She went sideways and slid down the muddy slope.

"Lusa Chou!"

Jason jumped sideways towards her and grabbed Lusa's wrist. Although he grew up in the countryside and was used to running on muddy paths, the force from Lusa's throw made him lose his footing and he slid down with her.

"Jason!"

John watched the two slide down from the mountain, then looked back at Abbott and Mike who were rushing over angrily. He gritted his teeth and said lowly to Colin, "You must go down the

mountain alive and tell the police what happened on the mountain. Then tell Jenny to say more good things about me in front of my parents. I'm not as terrible as they think!"

"Colin!"

"We can't outrun them!"

When Colin was confused, he saw John suddenly shout and turn his head. With a roar, in the heavy rain, he rushed back towards Abbott and Mike who were chasing after them!

"Colin!"

"Colin!"

Colin cried as he ran. They were just a group of roommates who stayed in the dormitory all year round and even escaped from PE class. They couldn't hold on for more than three kilometers, much less running on a mountain path on a stormy day, avoiding the attack of two strong men behind them.

He climbed down the mountain, crossed the stream, and ran back to the place where they had their barbeque.

The dark charcoal was still lying on the ground and had long been soaked in the rain.

Colin plunged into the stream and swam to the other side of the river. When he saw the policemen shining their flashlights in the distance, Colin reached out his hand and opened his mouth. His vision went black and he fell onto the ground.

"At 11 o'clock today, the city encountered the heaviest rain in the past 30 years. The rain reached 700 millimeters in 25 minutes, causing a flood in the mountainous areas and landslides. Nandu

City's disaster prevention office would like citizens to stay indoors before the rain subsides, and to stay away from the mountainous areas.

The host, dressed in a grey professional suit, said to the countless audience in front of their televisions. The background was the most famous Nanhe River in Nandu. The water level of the river was rising, far exceeding the expected water level warning line.

"This is the situation now."

David signaled Uncle Dong to turn off the TV and spoke to the middle-aged men in front of him.

The leader was Jay Shen, the head of the Public Security Department of Nandu Province.

He had just rushed over from the provincial hall and had not even removed his uniform. He frowned and said, "Now there have been three landslides in Sunset Mountain. The rescue team we sent out has been pushed down. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that there will be casualties in the team. As soon as the superior finds out..."

"Yes, I know that." David nodded and interrupted him. "I am asking you now. If the Shen family wants to use their own resources to solve this matter, will there be any trouble?"

Jay frowned, sighed, and said, "It depends on the purpose."

"To save people, save my son! Is this purpose okay?" David raised his tone and said.

"Yes, yes, that's..."

David waved his hand and interrupted Jay. "Old Dong, how many helicopters can we mobilize in Nandu?"

"13. They've already done an emergency take offs. They're on their way to Sunset Mountain," Uncle Dong said, hands hanging by his side.

"What about the security personnel of our family?"

"The first batch of 360 people have already arrived at the foot of the mountain. They can immediately go up the mountain after Chief Shen's orders. There are still four groups following, and they are also on their way."

"Then, please give the order, Chief Shen."

Jay stood up and was about to leave with his hands clasped behind his back.

Clang!

The door of the villa was pushed open, and Marvin Wen walked in with a smile.

"There is no need to mobilize so many people. In order to protect the personal safety of every citizen of Nandu, I have mobilized the special troops of the Silver Bear Special Forces from the military region of Nandu. According to the time, they should now be above Sunset Mountain."
