Chapter 517 - 343: The Man Most Desired
"We should go down." Liu Qingsong said hurriedly, running down the mountain, "Let’s get closer and see what’s happening."
The others hesitated for a moment and then followed him down. Although the view from here was good and they could overlook the entire estate, the distance was too far and the light too weak to see clearly what was happening.
The group initially moved slowly to accommodate Ran Yan, but when they realized she could keep pace, they started to pick up speed.
They ran non-stop from the mountain to the rear door, and even though Ran Yan had always made an effort to keep fit, she was now out of energy, but the horrifying scene in front of her did not allow her to catch her breath; the sight of blood and gore forcibly widened her eyes...
Six thick-trunked trees at the back door streamed blood like waterfalls, the tree trunks and the ground around them soaked in blood, with a rain of red blood falling from the treetops. No bodies were visible, but a thick scent of blood assaulted the senses.
The group stood stunned for a moment, then one of them, mad with dread, rushed forward not caring about the blood, quickly climbed a tree, and when he came down, he was covered in blood, his face pallid and nearly retching.
Two people rushed to drag him back and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Were the bodies up there... are they our bosses?"
Ran Yan shivered and snapped back to reality, also anxiously looking at him.
The man shook his head, "No, they look like the guards of this manor, and also Tan Lang."
A few people sighed in relief, turned their heads to look at the six trees soaked in a sea of blood, and for a moment were left speechless, without a next plan.
"Let’s go inside and take a look," Ran Yan stood up and walked toward the back.
She had carefully thought it over; since the bodies tied to the trees weren’t Bai Yi and the others, and they had clearly seen them enter the back door from the mountain, they were most likely already inside. And the people who were killed were very likely victims of that shadowy assassin.
