Chapter 244

Upon hearing the third brother's question, Sister Hua couldn't help but raise her hand and slap him on the head, her tone filled with a strong sense of disappointment: "Do you think you're dead, or do you think Zhao Jun and I are dead? With the three of us guarding here, are you still afraid that woman will run away?"

Zhao Jun quickly chimed in, "That's right, Third Brother, if you think that woman can escape so easily, then you're underestimating yourself, and you're underestimating me and Sister Hua too. The three of us are up against a woman with injuries to her hands and feet, what do you have to worry about?"

After being bombarded with questions from Sister Hua and Zhao Jun, Lao San finally figured out the crux of the matter. He awkwardly scratched his head.

That fierce face now even seemed to have a hint of naivety: "You two are right, oh dear, I'm just too cautious."

Sister Hua stared at the third brother for a long time, a hint of disappointment showing on her face. The third brother was good in every way, but he was also ruthless and vicious, and obedient enough. It was just a pity that he was sometimes slow to understand things.

If the third brother were a little smarter and more alert, their actions would definitely have gone far beyond this. However… Sister Hua thought to herself, turning to look at Zhao Jun, and finally felt a little comforted.

In any case, at least Zhao Jun is still around. Zhao Jun is a useful person; he's quite smart and quick-witted. He knows how to do things without causing trouble for himself, and he's a promising talent worth cultivating.

Zhao Jun and Lao San had no idea what the conversation was about, but when they saw that Hua Jie's face had finally lost its gloomy look...

Seeing the expression on his face, Zhao Jun quickly shook the rope in his hand and said to Sister Hua.

"Sister Hua, I'll go find some medicine to give that woman, so that she won't hold us back when we're about to take action."

Sister Hua nodded indifferently, burying all her thoughts deep inside: "Alright, go and do it."

While Sister Hua, Zhao Jun, and Lao San were talking, Xu Xinchen, who was in the room, was not idle either. She had tried several times and finally succeeded in standing up by holding onto the wall.

There was nothing in the room except for a window. Xu Xinchen gripped the window frame tightly with both hands and rubbed against it little by little.

Once she had successfully stood up straight, she immediately reached out to push open the window. There was a lock on the window, and she could only push it out a small crack.

However, this small crack was enough for Xu Xinchen to see what was happening outside. She squinted and quietly peered through the crack.

Looking through the crack in the window, all I could see was a mountain range stretching as far as the eye could see. Between the mountains, there were occasional small buildings that looked like apartment buildings, hidden among the peaks.

While keeping an eye on what was happening outside, Xu Xinchen was trying to figure out where she had been taken. Judging from the limited information available, she had probably been taken to a mountain.

This must be a house built on a mountain. Xu Xinchen immediately lowered her head and tried to look down through the gap. When she looked down, she realized that she was not actually very high off the ground, about three stories away.

Moreover, apart from the pane of glass, there wasn't even a security bar on the outside of the window. In other words, if she could just break the pane of glass, she could jump out of the window.

As Xu Xinchen pondered, she calculated in her mind what her chances of successfully escaping were if she jumped from such a height. After much thought, she sighed helplessly and reached out to close the small crack in the window.

Now that her foot is so badly injured, even standing up is a problem. Even if she manages to jump, escaping won't be easy.

The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she felt. Xu Xinchen simply closed her eyes and stopped thinking about these things. Just as she lay down, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xu Xinchen's heart skipped a beat. She secretly rejoiced that she had just closed the small gap in the window, otherwise she would probably be tied up with ropes again.

The person who entered the room was Sister Hua. When she came in, she saw Xu Xinchen leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, as if she were sleeping. She seemed quite satisfied with this situation.

Sister Hua gave a soft hum, her tone sounding quite pleased: "He's a pretty smart person, not bad, not bad. Just stay here obediently."

Xu Xinchen didn't open her eyes. She didn't intend to pay any attention to this Sister Hua. Anyway, they wouldn't let her go after she talked to them, so she might as well close her eyes and rest for a while to conserve her strength.

Seeing that Xu Xinchen had her eyes closed and didn't speak, Sister Hua didn't argue either. Instead, she looked down at the wound on Xu Xinchen's foot and saw that it was indeed in a state of near rotting. She then gave a cold snort and turned to walk outside.

After Sister Hua left, Zhao Jun walked in with the previous first-aid kit in his hand: "Lu Minshi, wake up and come over quickly to apply your medicine."

Xu Xinchen heard Zhao Jun's voice and opened her eyes, staring intently at Zhao Jun. When she saw the first-aid kit in Zhao Jun's hand, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Zhao Jun. Could you please bring it to me? You know how painful it is for my foot, even the slightest movement."

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Zhao Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, picked up the first-aid kit, walked over to Xu Xinchen, and took out all the contents.

Xu Xinchen took the white powder Zhao Jun handed her, closed her eyes tightly, and instinctively sprinkled it on the wound on her leg. She didn't know what the white powder was made of, but it really hurt when it was poured on the wound.

Xu Xinchen couldn't help but let out a few humming sounds. When Zhao Jun saw Xu Xinchen's appearance, he raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appearing on his face, and his tone of voice carried a hint of happiness.

"I never expected you to be so afraid of pain. Judging from your behavior before, I thought you would be the kind of person who would rather die than submit, and would not easily show any discomfort."
