Chapter 118: Escape

Gu Miaomiao's throat was strangled and she started coughing violently, her little face flushed red.

She raised her misty eyes and pointed at Jiang Yanbai, who was tied to a chair and covered in wounds.

"It was him, Mr. Jiang. He forced me to do this!"

"Boss Wang, this is really none of my business!"

The bound man slowly raised his head upon hearing this.

Those bottomless black eyes pierced through the dim air and fell on her like a knife.

It's like this again.

Every time, she would push him out as a shield without hesitation.

The corners of Jiang Yanbai's lips curled up in an extremely mocking arc.

Jiang Jinnian, who was standing by, was getting impatient.

"Why waste so much time talking to her? Just get down to business and teach her a lesson!"

Wang Jingchi didn't move.

He loosened Gu Miaomiao's collar and used his fingers to lift her chin maliciously.

The rough fingertips caressed her delicate skin.

He squinted his eyes and looked at it.

"Tsk. She's so pretty, wouldn't it be a shame if she got broken like this?"

Jiang Jinnian snorted coldly.

"If you want to get things done, hurry up. I don't have time to waste with you."

Gu Miaomiao's heart sank.

This look...is bad.

She calmly shrank her neck back to avoid the disgusting hand.

"Boss Wang, you see, we are at least a team..."

"Just let me go this time."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingchi burst into laughter.

He grabbed her shoulders, holding her firmly in place, and smiled arrogantly.

"cooperate?"

"When we were cooperating, you threatened me with that mouth, but I never saw you begging for mercy like this."

"Today, I want to taste how poisonous your mouth is!"

Before he finished speaking, his greasy face suddenly enlarged.

A fishy breath hit me in the face.

In a flash, Gu Miaomiao turned her head.

Wang Jingchi's lips brushed against her cheek but missed.

At the same time, she opened her mouth and used all her strength to bite hard on the arm that Wang Jingchi reached out to grab her.

The teeth instantly sank into the flesh.

"ah!"

Wang Jingchi let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

He swung his arm away, and Gu Miaomiao fell to the ground due to the force.

The next second, Wang Jingchi raised his hand with red eyes.

Bang!

A crisp and loud slap landed heavily on Gu Miaomiao's face.

"Bitch!"

He roared, spit flying everywhere.

A bright red palm print quickly appeared on Gu Miaomiao's fair left cheek.

A burning pain exploded on my left cheek and my ears were buzzing.

Gu Miaomiao's vision went dark, and the fishy sweetness of rust filled her mouth.

The moment she fell, a black shadow wrapped in a strong wind broke through the air.

Bang!

A muffled sound.

Wang Jingchi, who had been so arrogant just now, was kicked out like a broken sack and fell to the ground in a mess.

Jiang Yanbai, who was tied to the chair, slowly retracted his long legs.

"What's the point of hitting a woman?"

Wang Jingchi wailed on the ground, held his waist and climbed up, and saw the baseball bat in the corner at a glance.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes. He grabbed the bat and rushed towards Jiang Yanbai with a ferocious look on his face.

"I'll kill you!"

The bat was raised high, accompanied by a whistling sound.

A hand grabbed his wrist and blocked the thundering blow.

It’s Jiang Jinnian.

Wang Jingchi was furious and turned around to glare at him.

"Why are you stopping me? Are you sorry?"

The corners of Jiang Jinnian's lips curled up slowly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, which were filled with coldness.

"regret?"

"How is that possible? It's just that taking action here would be too easy for them."

He snatched the baseball bat from Wang Jingchi's hand and threw it aside.

"Come on, let's talk outside."

Wang Jingchi pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and lowered his voice.

"What good idea have you come up with?"

Jiang Jinnian didn't say anything, but his smile deepened.

He raised his chin towards the bouncer at the door.

"Lock the door and keep a close eye on them."

After saying that, he walked out with Wang Jingchi.

The heavy footsteps gradually faded away, and finally there was the crisp sound of an iron chain falling.

The entire abandoned warehouse fell into silence in an instant.

Gu Miaomiao endured the severe pain in her cheek, propped herself up from the ground, and bared her teeth.

"How did you get caught by them?"

Jiang Yanbai sat on the chair, his cold eyes sweeping across the bright red fingerprints on her face, without a trace of warmth.

"I should be the one asking you this."

"Miss Gu, you've always been very capable, haven't you? How could you be caught by someone like that?"

"You're still thinking about betraying me. You've really improved."

Every word he said was like an icicle.

An unnatural look flashed across Gu Miaomiao's face, and she smiled awkwardly.

"I don't... I think there might be some misunderstanding. If I could get out first, I would definitely come back to save you."

Jiang Yanbai curled the corners of his mouth, an arc full of sarcasm.

He looked away and stopped looking at her.

"It's useless to talk nonsense now."

"The most urgent thing is to figure out how to get out of here."

His voice was eerily calm.

Gu Miaomiao's heart sank, and she struggled to get up from the ground, slowly moving towards him.

She looked around.

"There are walls on all sides and only one window."

"But they're everywhere outside. If we make any noise, we'll be discovered immediately."

Jiang Yanbai's eyes were fixed on the high window.

That's the only place where light shines through.

It may also be the only way to survive.

He withdrew his gaze, and there was an unfathomable calculation in his dark pupils.

"We can only give it a try."

He tilted his head and pointed at the tightly bound ropes on his body with his chin.

"Find a way to untie it."

Gu Miaomiao glared at him angrily.

"How can I figure this out?"

Jiang Yanbai's dark eyes swept over, and there was no warmth in them.

"If you keep on procrastinating, we'll both die here."

His voice was very low.

"Don't talk nonsense, bite with your teeth."

Use teeth?

Gu Miaomiao's self-esteem seemed to be trampled underfoot.

She is the eldest daughter of the Gu family. When has she ever done such an embarrassing thing?

But Jiang Yanbai's eyes told her clearly that he was not joking.

The situation is stronger than people.

She gritted her teeth and moved reluctantly in front of Jiang Yanbai.

The strange smell of knots mixed with dust hit Gu Miaomiao's face, and her stomach churned.

She closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and bit down hard.

The rough hemp rope rubbed against her delicate lips and mouth, and soon a smell of rust filled her mouth.

It's blood.

She didn't stop, but tore and sawed even harder.

Finally, with a slight cracking sound, the most critical rope broke.

Gu Miaomiao spat out the rope fragments in her mouth, and her lips felt burning.

Jiang Yanbai moved his wrist and broke free from the restraints.

Without a moment's pause, he pulled out a cell phone from his suit pocket.

Gu Miaomiao's pupils suddenly shrank.

"What are you doing?"

He even hid his cell phone.

How deep is this man's scheming?
