Those people eventually found them.
That's true. The Qiao family is no longer useful. Even if his men don't come looking for him, there are still Qiao Yuan and Qin Ren.
As long as Master Qiao gives the word, these two men will stand up for him.
Song Ruier quickly got up.
If he falls into the hands of these people, he will only face death.
The footsteps grew louder and louder, and they were soon at the door.
Song Ruier's heart was in her throat. She looked around, but there was nowhere to hide.
He quickly put the book box under the blanket, then quietly ran to the window, opened it, and climbed out.
The door opened the instant the coffin fell.
Two men entered carrying swords. After looking around, one of them walked to the bedside, raised his sword, and stabbed it into the raised blanket.
The sword's momentum was blocked by something hard. The man lifted the blanket and saw that it was a book box.
"That brat got away! Find him quickly! If we can't bring him to Lord Qiao with his head tonight, we'll be in deep trouble."
The two rushed out the door.
Song Ruier jumped from the third floor to the second-floor balcony, then jumped down from the second floor, limping into a narrow alley, and then ran while bracing herself against the wall.
He forgot the pain in his feet and ran with all his might, risking his life.
If he can't escape this time, his life will be over.
Just as she was about to run out of the alley, Song Ruier's slight relief was short-lived, and she started to catch her breath again.
Because there was a person standing in front of him.
This person completely blocked the alley's exit, casting a shadow under the moonlight that enveloped Song Ruier.
The other person was tall and even somewhat muscular. His face was ordinary yet unfamiliar. He looked down at the panting Song Ruier, his expression completely unreadable.
Song Ruier was terrified. There are many people in this world who are not good at smiling, but even such people have the breath of life on their faces. But this person's face was very stiff, as if it was filled with a layer of death.
Did he encounter a ghost late at night?
Just as Song Ruier was about to run back, she heard footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley.
"If this kid had been in the room just now, he could only have escaped by jumping out of the window. His leg must have been injured, so he couldn't have gone far."
"That's right, daring to mess with me, once I catch him, I'll torture him to death slowly."
Song Ruier trembled.
"Excuse me, sir, could you please move aside?"
The other person suddenly reached out and lifted him up.
"Useless! You can't even handle this simple task."
The hoarse, broken voice, like a damaged throat, fell into Song Ruier's ears like a knife scraping paper.
He didn't know why the other person said that, as if they were very familiar with him.
Moreover, he could sense that although the other person spoke with disdain, they didn't seem to have any intention of harming him.
An adult carrying a child under his arm disappeared into the vast night.
The capital city set a deadline, and the official who came to deliver the imperial edict did not linger for long before hastily departing on his return journey.
This caused the officials in Yuezhou and the county to break out in a cold sweat.
