To be honest, Jiang Chao doesn't understand what human ethics are.
But he understood what Liu Huanyi said about him being his bloodline, which made Jiang Chaoyue, who was traditional and rigid at heart, waver.
He could abandon, abuse, and beat his wife and daughter, but he could not do such a thing as killing his own children.
As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.
If people knew about this, he would be so embarrassed.
Seeing him hesitate, Zhang Tieying was afraid that the plan would fail, so she quickly said, "Hubby, don't listen to her! They have been gone for so long and haven't come back to see you. They didn't even bother to tell you whether they are dead or alive, causing you to worry for so many years in vain. Why are you so soft-hearted towards such a heartless person?!"
Jiang Chao frowned. What Zhang Tieying said made some sense.
"Do you still want us to contact you? Don't you know what you did to my mother? If you feel guilty, you should let me go now!"
Liu Huanyi was very firm and didn't want Jiang Chao to believe what Zhang Tieying said.
Zhang Tieying glared at her fiercely. This little bitch was just as annoying as Chuchu said!
Jiang Chao was confused and had a headache, so he didn't say anything.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhang Tieying struck while the iron was hot and said, "When Chuchu marries into the Huo family, will you have what you want? Our son's illness can also be cured."
Wait, how did Feng Chuchu marry into the Huo family? What is her relationship with the Huo family?
But Zhang Tieying spoke with great confidence, as if he was very sure.
If I wasn't sure of victory, I wouldn't dare to say this.
The person who most wants to marry into the Huo family right now is none other than Jiang Siyu. Could it be that... Jiang Siyu is Feng Chuchu? !
After Liu Huanyi sorted it out, he was basically able to confirm his guess.
Feng Chuchu and Jiang Siyu are the same person. This is so shocking.
But she didn't have time to think about it now, Jiang Chao was almost convinced by Zhang Tieying!
"You're right. I dealt with her. I can't leave Chuchu with any harm."
Liu Huanyi said quickly, "Feng Chuchu can't marry into the Huo family. The eldest son of the Huo family has an engagement. You can ask someone to find out."
"The Huo family and the Gu family arranged a marriage when they were children. As long as the old man of the Huo family is alive, it is impossible for Feng Chuchu to marry into the family. She must either marry a young lady from the Gu family or a young lady from an equal family background. No matter what, it can't be Feng Chuchu!"
Zhang Tieying was stunned and forgot about the engagement.
"The engagement, isn't it settled? The Gu family is gone, so the engagement is no longer valid!"
"It's not her turn to decide whether it counts or not." Liu Huanyi continued, "Besides, if she was so sure about marrying into the Huo family, would she need you to deal with me?"
Fearing that Jiang Chao would be led astray by Liu Huanyi, Zhang Tieying blocked Liu Huanyi's mouth without further ado, "Stop talking nonsense. Our Chuchu is going to marry into the Huo family no matter what. Husband, hurry up and do it. After Chuchu marries Mr. Huo, any money she digs out from her fingernails will be enough for our family to eat for several years."
Liu Huanyi swallowed, moved his butt, and suddenly felt a hard object in his pocket.
She realized that it was the knife she had put in there a few days ago. She was used to taking precautions, so she would prepare some self-defense tools and carry them with her.
Jiang Chao said, "What she said makes sense. If Chuchu was really with Mr. Huo, would we have to do all these things for her? She could just tell Mr. Huo directly."
"You are stupid! Now that you are not married yet, doesn't Chuchu have to pretend in front of Mr. Huo?"
Zhang Tieying tried her best to persuade him, "Listen to me, Chuchu is my child, and she will do whatever I tell her to do. If she gets pregnant with the Huo family's child, they can't deny it."
"You make it sound as easy as buying groceries." Jiang Chao frowned. Would this really work?
He felt like he was being cheated by Zhang Tieying and her daughter.
Just as the two of them were arguing, Liu Huanyi quietly used her fingernails to dig out the portable knife and cut the rope that tied her from behind bit by bit, holding her breath for fear that they would discover her.
Let them quarrel for a while longer, and keep quarreling. Liu Huanyi hoped that they would chat for a while longer, giving her enough time to cut the rope and escape.
Jiang Chao glanced at his biological daughter whom he had not seen for a long time, and listened to Zhang Tieying's endless urging, becoming more and more annoyed.
"It's so noisy! Are you two done yet? Leave me alone for a while."
Jiang Chao dropped the machete and was about to walk out. Zhang Tieying knew that if he didn't kill Liu Huanyi now, something unexpected might happen in a while.
So when Jiang Chao turned around, she secretly picked up the machete and walked straight towards Liu Huanyi.
"Help--!"
Liu Huanyi cut the rope while screaming, hoping that Jiang Chao would hear her cry for help and show mercy to stop Zhang Tieying, but she underestimated Zhang Tieying's determination.
Hearing her shout, Zhang Tieying moved faster and almost chopped directly at her face.
At the moment when the machete was about to chop her face, Liu Huanyi finally cut the rope, ran forward with all her might, and knocked down Zhang Tieying.
Zhang Tieying was knocked several meters away, covering his arm and screaming.
"Waste! Why couldn't you stop her!" After Jiang Chao reacted, he cursed Zhang Tieying and even stepped on her arm.
Zhang Tieying felt even worse, but she couldn't care less now. She pointed in the direction Liu Huanyi ran and said, "Hurry up and chase him! Don't forget that we still need Chuchu to give us money to raise our son!"
Jiang Chao no longer had the heart to kill Liu Huanyi, but he had to harden his heart at this moment.
If Liu Huanyi went to call the police, he would have to go to jail.
Even for his own sake, he must kill Liu Huanyi.
Liu Huanyi finally cut the rope on his feet and ran while pulling the rope on his hands, but the knot was difficult to untie.
This was an abandoned industrial park, mostly consisting of brick factories and steel mills. She felt as if she had entered a huge maze and was at a loss.
Obviously they had planned this in advance. In this place, let alone shouting for help, even if you dropped your money, no one would come out to pick it up.
There were footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, and Zhang Tieying also caught up.
"Quick! That little bitch is there!"
Although Zhang Tieying was in poor health, he had good eyesight and gave instructions to Jiang Chao as soon as he saw Liu Huanyi.
Jiang Chao was about to catch Liu Huanyi in just a few steps, but she was still tied up by the rope.
No, I can’t give up. Liu Huanyi sprinted forward, not caring whether there was a dead end ahead.
There was no other way even if it was a dead end. Liu Huanyi rushed forward with his eyes closed, and suddenly heard someone talking.
"Mr. Xu, is this okay?"
"Um."
Xu Chuxiao looked around and was about to speak when he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Uncle Xu! Save me!"
When Liu Huanyi saw Xu Chuxiao, he felt like he had seen a life-saving straw and shouted desperately.
There were two or three other people around Xu Chuxiao. Although they didn't seem to have much martial arts skills, it was better than her fighting alone with Zhang Tieying and Jiang Chao.
