Chapter 62 It's Too Late
They watched their leader walk away with envy before entering the cabin. Inside, there was a generator, an oversized pressure cooker, and even a boning knife and a butcher's knife.
The two men chatted and laughed as they sharpened their knives, saying, "We used to work ourselves to the bone and couldn't earn much money. I never thought that doing something big could earn us hundreds of millions. Those rich people can just pluck a hair from their heads. We ordinary people couldn't earn that much even if we worked like cavemen for 5,000 years without eating or drinking. It's simply outrageous."
"Yeah, to be able to play with such stunning beauties, it's unbelievable. Heroes are nothing, tyrants are much better."
Amidst their laughter and conversation, several knives were already gleaming with oil, almost sharp enough to cut a hair with a single blow.
"Should we ask our brother to stop for a moment, kill that man first, and then play with the women?"
Another person was unimpressed, saying, "The mountain road is rugged, it took us two or three hours. Even if those rich young masters walked themselves to exhaustion, they couldn't walk that fast."
"Yeah?"
A chilling voice rang out. Before the tall man could react, his neck snapped almost 180 degrees, and he collapsed to the ground with a scream.
The short, stout man standing nearby was shocked and quickly drew his boning knife to slash at Feng Jue, who dodged to the side.
Missing his first strike, the short, stout man became even more ferocious, hacking wildly in and out. Despite injuring his arm, Feng Jue grabbed the man's wrist and, with a sudden burst of force, broke his wrist bone, causing the boning knife to fall to the ground.
Ignoring the blood streaming down his arm, Feng Jue raised his foot to stomp between the man's legs when a whooshing sound came from behind him. Feng Jue leaned back quickly, and a cold blade almost grazed his throat.
The tall man from before has now become the crooked-necked man, violently hacking and slashing with his neck tilted to the side.
As he dodged, the short, stout man endured the pain and got up, grabbing Feng Jue from behind.
Seeing that the man's arms were bound, the crooked-necked man grinned and raised his knife, slashing it fiercely at the man's handsome face.
Clifftop.
Rough, large hands caressed Su Xi's cheeks and neck as the scarred man chuckled sinisterly, "Don't worry, after the brothers have all had their turn, we'll give you a quick death. The condition is that you satisfy me, otherwise... hahaha."
Su Xi's mouth was covered, and she could only make "mmm" sounds, indicating that she wanted the man to remove the tape. She had something to say.
"Fine, no one will come to save you even if you scream your lungs out here."
Now that her mouth was free, Su Xi ignored the stinging pain on her cheek and asked directly, "Did Wu Qingluan instruct you to do this?"
"Who is Wu Qingluan? I don't know her."
"That's Bu Cuihong."
Seeing the slight flicker in the man's pupils, she knew she had guessed correctly.
“Bu Cuihong must have been instructed by Wu Qingluan. You are using Wu Qingluan as a pawn, while she herself remains uninvolved. Are you willing to accept this?”
"Stop talking nonsense. Are you trying to stall for time? Don't bother. We're only sending your uncle to deliver the ransom. Do you think that pampered young man can take on the three of us?"
Su Xi's long eyelashes trembled involuntarily; it was actually her uncle who had come to rescue her.
She bit her lip hard, knowing that not only was she in grave danger tonight, but her uncle's life was also in grave peril. She was unwilling to accept it.
The scarred man was clearly driven by lust; he immediately ripped off his shirt, revealing a large patch of chest hair that sent chills down one's spine.
Then he took off his pants and pounced on her eagerly.
Just as he was about to press down on the woman, Su Xi rolled away and dodged.
The woman whose hands and feet were bound actually stood up, and the hemp ropes on her wrists and ankles shook off a few times and came loose.
Since what happened with Boss Qi, Su Xi had prepared a special ring with a hidden knife inside. The ring was plain and even looked cheap, making it unappealing to anyone who wanted to steal it.
She was stalling for time so she could cut the last bit of rope.
The scarred man was slightly surprised, but completely unconcerned. He quickly chased after him, his lewd expression deepening.
This woman cannot escape his grasp.
On the other side, the man with the crooked neck raised his knife and grinned maliciously as he slashed at Feng Jue's face, who was being held by his accomplice.
He could already imagine the watermelon bursting open, but in the next instant, Feng Jue used the short, fat man behind him for support, leaned back, and kicked the knife away.
Caught off guard, the short, stout man's back bent backward in a bizarre arc, his pupils staring blankly, before he crashed stiffly to the ground.
The moment the man with the crooked neck frantically reached for the knife, Feng Jue pinned him to the ground and punched him several times until he lost all resistance.
With a flick of his suit sleeve, a sharp dagger slid out and swiftly stabbed the man in the arm and thigh.
He immediately walked towards the man with the broken back and stepped on his groin.
After confirming that neither of them had any offensive capabilities, Feng Jue turned and headed straight for the cliff.
He quickly discovered traces of someone lying in an open space. Following the disordered footsteps, he saw two blurry figures chasing and wrestling as they fell off the cliff.
Feng Jue's mind and heart went blank at the same time. He staggered and ran over quickly, only to hear a shrill male voice wailing as he fell into the abyss.
Looking down, the pitch-black abyss resembled a gaping maw that devoured life, leaving no doubt that falling in meant certain death.
The man's breath almost stopped, and he called out in a trembling voice, "Su Xi, Su Xi..."
My palms were already sweating without my noticing, and my forehead was covered in cold sweat. My heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand holes in an instant.
Just as the man's legs went weak and he was about to kneel down, the woman's weak yet excited voice came through, "Uncle?"
"I'm here. Xiaoxi, I'm here."
A huge surge of joy welled up inside him. Using the light from his phone, he looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman landing on a pine tree that looked like it could break at any moment.
Seeing that the man seemed to be looking for a foothold to climb down the cliff, Su Xi quickly said, "Uncle, I'm fine. Just call for help. This tree can't support the weight of two people."
The man seemed not to hear her. Realizing there was nowhere to step, he quickly took off his coat, shirt, and even his pants, tying them together to form a rope.
After confirming that the rope was sturdy enough, the man lay on the edge of the cliff and lowered it down.
Su Xi held onto the pine tree with one hand and carefully reached out with the other, but she was still a little short.
A dark glint flashed in the woman's eyes. She could almost hear the branches creaking and snapping little by little.
Perhaps it's too late? Su Xi pursed her lips, and a smile appeared in her eyes as she looked up.
Before the smile in her eyes could even widen, the woman's eyes widened in panic as she watched helplessly as almost half of the man's body dangled over the edge of the cliff, poised to fall and be smashed to pieces at any moment.
The man gazed at her with his deep, resolute peach blossom eyes, his handsome face tense, completely disregarding his own life and death.
Seeing the determination and encouragement in the man's eyes, Su Xi mustered her courage to make one last attempt, loosened her grip on the branch, and reached out with both hands.
She caught it.
The sound of a pine tree falling behind her sent a shiver of fear through her heart.
Hold on tight. Don't let go.
A tremendous force came from the rope, pulling her up little by little until finally the man grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her up completely.
As if a breath had been held back, Feng Jue lay down on his back, causing Su Xi to fall onto his chest as well.
The man shielded Su Xi with one hand and took out his phone with the other.
Upon receiving the information, covert police officers and medical personnel boarded a helicopter and headed straight for the mountaintop.
The moment the helicopter landed, Feng Jinchen was the first to jump out.
