Chapter 172 You Can’t Escape
After leaving Tingfengyuan, Su Xing lost several pieces of skin again.
But he was already very lucky, at least he was not discovered, otherwise he would have been dead for sure.
The next step is to think about what to do.
Although he had determined the whereabouts of Mu Yuanhou and Xia Yunxi, he had no way of going out to notify Liu Yan to arrest them.
It is impossible for him to subdue them all by himself, and he is in danger now. He doesn’t know when Luo Linger will come to find him!
So what else can he do?
Su Xing walked while thinking rapidly. He was even more nervous than when he took the college entrance examination.
Unfortunately, before he could come up with a countermeasure, he was intercepted by the people sent by Luo Ling'er.
"Stop!" The big man in charge of guarding Su Xing pounced on him like a beast seeing food, grabbed Su Xing's arm and twisted him back: "How dare you sneak out? You'll die when you see the young lady!"
Su Xing felt a chill in his heart and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
He didn't expect to be caught so soon, and he hasn't figured out what to do yet!
This time Luo Ling'er would not give him another chance to escape. Would the information he had worked so hard to find out be wasted?
Su Xing was unwilling to give up. Even though he was extremely scared, his mind did not stop working.
Not long after, he was taken back to the room.
Luo Ling'er was also there, staring at him angrily.
Su Xing glanced at Luo Ling'er without saying anything, his handsome face still calm.
"You ignorant lowly person, you still refuse to behave yourself even when death is imminent!" Luo Ling'er slowly approached, her resentful eyes scanning Su Xing's face, she gnashed her teeth and said, "Give up this idea as soon as possible, I will never let you go..."
Su Xing's heart tightened, but his expression did not change.
After a moment, he slowly said, "You don't need to scare me. I can't escape, and you can't escape either if you shelter the imperial fugitives."
Luo Linger was slightly stunned, and panic suddenly flashed in her eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Who lives in Tingfeng Courtyard?" Su Xing's eyes narrowed, and a cold light suddenly shot out of his eyes, which actually had some of Ye Linghan's aura.
Luo Ling'er was visibly flustered, but she still said stubbornly: "How dare you! Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our mansion!"
Then she anxiously ordered the people around Su Xing: "Hurry up and tie him up!"
Su Xing was afraid that he would not have the chance to speak out, so he struggled and said anxiously: "You risked your life to protect those who were plotting rebellion, but unfortunately they did not appreciate it. They are already discussing how to kill you after the plot is accomplished!"
"Nonsense!" Luo Ling'er couldn't help but yelled: "Don't think..."
Su Xing was too lazy to argue with her and directly swore: "I dare to guarantee with my life that I am not lying. If you don't want to die, you'd better listen to me!"
The big man holding Su Xing was afraid of being implicated, so he didn't bother to tie Su Xing up. He reached out to cover Su Xing's mouth, but was stopped by Luo Ling'er: "Wait a minute!"
The big man was stunned, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and lowered his head.
Su Xing knew that Luo Ling'er believed it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not in a hurry to continue speaking, but waited for Luo Linger to ask.
Luo Linger stared at Su Xing for a moment and asked coldly: "What did you hear just now?"
Su Xing calmly recounted what had just happened.
Luo Ling'er's face turned pale when she heard this, and her eyes were full of panic.
But she soon returned to normal and glared at Su Xing fiercely: "If you dare to lie to me, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
After that, she ordered the big man: "Watch him carefully. If you let him run away again, you will die!"
The big man nodded in fear: "Don't worry, Miss, I..."
Before the big man could finish his words, Luo Ling'er had already left in a hurry.
Su Xing looked at Luo Ling'er's hurried figure and couldn't help but pray in his heart: God bless him, I hope his plan will succeed!
In the following time, Su Xing was in anxious waiting.
The big man was afraid that he would run away again, so he not only tied him up more tightly than before, but also personally watched him from the side.
His mouth was not idle either, he kept cursing.
Su Xing didn't care at all. His eyes were like an eagle, always staring at the door.
But until dawn, there was still no movement outside the door.
Wouldn't it work? They don't believe him?
Su Xing's heart gradually sank...
After a while, Su Xing was about to give up when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
Su Xing's whole body trembled, and expectation instantly appeared in his eyes, but he immediately suppressed it.
The door opened, and first an old woman came in, then stepped aside and bent down.
Next came Ye Wan. She looked at Su Xing dignifiedly for a moment before walking in slowly.
There was a maid following behind her, but Luo Ling'er didn't come.
Su Xing was tied up and couldn't salute, so he could only lower his head and said, "Greetings, Princess."
In fact, he didn't need to greet her, because Luo Ling'er dared to treat him like this because she had the support of the eldest princess.
But for the sake of his current plan, he chose to be patient.
Ye Wan didn't take Su Xing's greeting seriously at all. She acted as if she didn't hear it and didn't respond.
Su Xing was not in a hurry either. He just lowered his head and waited.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally heard Ye Wan speak: "Even if I kill you in front of the Regent, he won't dare to do anything to me!"
Su Xing knew that Ye Wan said this on purpose, but he was still shocked by her aura and his heart instantly rose.
Besides this, he was very miserable.
Because he also agreed with Ye Wan's words. If he was really killed, Ye Linghan would not do anything to Ye Wan for him.
After all, Ye Wan is the eldest princess of noble status, so what is he?
I acknowledge it, but I can't accept it in my heart.
Just imagine, if someone wants to kill his lover, he will definitely not agree and will avenge his lover at any cost.
But what about Ye Linghan?
Thinking of Ye Linghan’s choice, he felt uncomfortable as if his chest was blocked by something.
But now is not the time to think about these things, he has to put the overall situation first.
"I know." Su Xing raised his head and looked at Ye Wan: "So I didn't expect the Regent to save me, but wanted to save myself."
Ye Wan was a little surprised by Su Xing's reaction. She stared at Su Xing thoughtfully before saying, "It's not impossible for me to spare you if you want me to...it depends on whether you have the ability to do so!"
Su Xing sneered in his heart, Ye Wan was worthy of being the late emperor's sister, just as shameless.
It was obvious that she didn't know how to solve the current dilemma, but she acted as if she was giving him a chance to show off.
But in order to survive and help Ye Linghan, he could only temporarily suppress the disdain in his heart.
"Don't worry, Princess. I will do my best to save my life." Su Xing said carefully, "However, Princess, please tell me the whole story first, so that I can find the most appropriate solution."
Ye Wan seemed to have been hit in the soft spot. Her dignified and serious face froze slightly, but she still spoke:······
