She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 628: Encounter at the Dead Forest

Spider stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."

As her words trailed off, Cheyenne grew certain that Spider's identity wasn't simple. But was she a friend or a foe? At the moment, it was impossible to determine.

"Then follow me, both of you," she said, leading Cheyenne and Spider into the house and towards the kitchen. There, a small door less than a meter high was blocked by a large water tank. Together, the three of them struggled to move the water tank, and upon pushing open the kitchen door, they found themselves facing a dense forest.

The middle-aged woman was exhausted, breathing heavily as she said to the two, "Go in."

Just then, a chaotic sound of footsteps and knocking came from outside the door, fierce enough to worry the middle-aged woman that her door might be broken.

Oh no, those people were coming after them.

Spider's face showed a subtle change in expression, as she turned back to look at the courtyard door.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman quickly pushed the two towards the door, urgently instructing them, "Keep walking east, and you'll see a large green curtain. Pull it aside, the helicopter is inside." The door closed once again.

She quickly tidied her own hair, and a sincere, honest smile appeared on her wrinkled face as she walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Cheyenne could only lead Spider out of the door and softly said to the middle-aged woman, "Thank you, please give my regards to Mr. Lara."

From behind the door, the woman's voice came with a faint smile, "Take care, ladies."

In the blink of an eye, as the door opened, a strong arm with dark fuzz reached in and forcefully pushed her. It was a bald man, looking about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, of medium height, fierce looking, and he menacingly asked, "Did you see two people walking this way just now?"

The middle-aged woman pretended to look clueless, furrowing her eyebrows and appearing confused. "I was feeding the chickens in the yard just now, didn't hear anything. Is there anyone here?" She seemed calm, not at all like she was lying.

However, the bald man still felt doubtful. This was a dead end, with only two or three households around. Moreover, the car those two women drove was parked outside. Cheyenne and Spider had only two choices: either climb over the wall and leave, or find a place to hide.

The wall was about three meters high, and for two petite women like them, it would be difficult to climb over it by themselves, especially since there was a pond on the other side.

In normal circumstances, they would probably choose to hide, which meant they would have to choose to hide among one of these households.

The bald man looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him with a fierce and sinister gaze and said, "If I find out you're lying, I'll kill you immediately."

This time, the middle-aged woman was quite frightened, her legs went weak, and with a thud, she sat on the ground.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

She kicked and flailed on the ground, crying loudly, "This is a disaster! You're bullying an old woman like me in broad daylight."

"Do you really think no one in my family can do anything? Let me warn you, my son is a government official."

"If you dare to kill me, you'll end up in prison. We live in a country governed by the rule of law."

As she spoke, the aunt prepared to pull out her phone and make a call. "I'm calling my son right now! Who do you think you are? Has the law lost all meaning to you?" Just as she took out her phone, the bald man snatched it away.

Crash...

It fell to the ground with a loud thud.

The screen of her newly purchased phone, not even a month old, shattered into a spiderweb pattern.

"Ah!"

Startled, the woman stared at them in disbelief. Instinctively, she hugged her own head and trembled as she asked, her voice quivering, "Who... who are you?" The bald man ignored her and commanded, "Search the place."

Several men in black clothing behind him approached, searching the house in a chaotic manner. The belongings were thrown around and

the house was left in a mess but

they found nothing.

After a few minutes, they came out one by one with disappointed expressions, tapping their heads and reporting, "Boss, we found nobody here."

"I didn't find anybody either."

"Same here."

The bald man fell into deep thought. His instincts told him there was a good chance that Cheyenne and the woman were hiding here.

Are they really not here?

Just as he hesitated whether to leave or not, one of his subordinates suddenly remembered something and spoke up, "But boss, there's a forest behind." Gulp.

The middle-aged woman, who had just relaxed for a moment, tensed up again. She climbed up from the ground uneasily and stood aside.

Upon hearing this, the bald man's eyes lit up. "Let's go in and take a look."

Behind him, the middle-aged woman's face changed, and she quickly reminded them, "Young man, you can't go into that forest. It's... the Dead Forest."

As soon as they heard these words, even the most fierce-looking bald man revealed a fearful expression.

He took a step forward but ultimately pulled it back, changing his target. "Let's go to the next house."

"Yes."

This group of people came in mightily and now they would leave mightily.

As the middle-aged woman heaved a sigh of relief, she mustered up the courage to chase after them to make her performance more convincing. She reached out from behind and grabbed the sleeve of the bald man. "Stop! You've turned my house like this, don't even think about leaving without compensating me."

Compensate?

Was this a joke?

When did they ever compensate...?

One of the black-clad men picked up a burning stick by the door, raised it high, and threatened the interfering old woman, kicking her with a foot. "You old woman, get out of the way! If you dare to interfere again, I'll really take action."

"Ah..."

The middle-aged woman's ankle was unexpectedly kicked, causing her to fall to the ground helplessly, watching them leave with no way to stop them. Here. Cheyenne, with Spider in tow, passed through the eerie forest.

This place was desolate, with very few people around, and the weeds almost taller than humans.

If it weren't for the fact that snakes were hibernating in winter, one would worry about a snake suddenly appearing here.

After effort, they finally a

at the location mentioned by the middle aged woman. As they

approached, they indeed saw a large

patch of green canvas.

The deep green color blended with the colors of the forest. If she hadn't been paying close attention, she would have had a hard time noticing it.
