Chu Xiao's expression changed drastically, and he turned and rushed into the escape tunnel.
If these people can't find Chu Zhenhe, they'll definitely hold him responsible for everything.
If they really get caught, they'll either lose an arm or a leg, or they'll be skinned alive!
He frantically fled up the stairs.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the wooden door on the sixth floor, grabbed his arm, and yanked him into the sixth-floor corridor.
In an instant, the wooden door was locked from the inside, and the view abruptly changed from bright light to darkness.
In the already small space, two figures were pressed tightly together.
I could hear the chaotic breathing and heartbeats around me.
Chu Xiao gasped for breath, and through the green light above the door, he saw the woman in front of him and was immediately surprised.
"Miss Chen, what are you doing here..."
Chen Jiu'er raised her hand to cover his mouth, "If you don't want to be torn to pieces, shut your mouth."
The soft, warm touch of her small hand, along with the woman's fragrance, filled Chu Xiao's nostrils. He instinctively grabbed her wrist, flipped her over, and pinned her against the wall.
Then, a deafening sound of running could be heard coming from outside the escape tunnel.
Interspersed throughout were harsh insults and roars.
Only after the group of pursuers had completely disappeared did Chu Xiao smile and say, "Thank you for saving my life, Miss Chen."
He slightly raised his thin lips, but showed no intention of letting go of Chen Jiu'er.
Chen Jiu'er raised her head and looked at the man in the dim light, somewhat annoyed.
"You think I wanted to save you? It's just that Grandpa heard about the Chu family's troubles and sent me to meet you. I didn't expect to see such a lively scene as soon as I got upstairs."
"Besides, you haven't explained what happened last time. I just came to ask if you really don't like me?"
As soon as she finished saying "I", Chu Xiao suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, his hot breath spraying on her face.
"Who says I don't like Miss Jiu'er? It's just that I'm an orphan, and I've been through something like what happened with the Chu family. If I were to be with you, it would definitely be unfair to you..."
"What grievance? Grandpa says you have a bright future!"
"Oh? Grandpa Chen is praising me so highly?"
Chen Jiu'er was teased to the point of being flustered, and said without any concealment, "That's right, he said you are the reincarnation of a dragon, destined to be connected with Da Gan, and he will introduce you to people in high society."
"Who are they?" Chu Xiao coaxed gently, his warm lips brushing against her soft, white earlobe.
Chen Jiu'er trembled all over, her little fists clenched tightly.
"Yes, there's the curator of the Yangtze River Museum, the president of China Merchants Bank, and the chairman of Z Group..."
Before he could finish speaking, a cold, sharp voice suddenly rang out from the corridor not far away:
"Chu Xiao, so you were here!"
The two were startled by the sound.
Before they could react, countless men dressed in black night clothes, wielding stun batons, rushed out from the end of the corridor and began recklessly attacking the two men.
Chu Xiao then noticed two security cameras at the end of the corridor.
It turns out that the people in the monitoring room had already seen everything about him and Chen Jiu'er hiding here.
But they didn't come to save people; they came to kill them!
"Run!"
Chen Jiu'er snapped out of her daze, grabbed Chu Xiao's arm, and dragged him downstairs.
The two ran down the stairs, got into the car, and sped off.
The pursuing assassins seemed to have anticipated their route, and they couldn't shake them off no matter what they did.
The vehicle was forced into an unfinished residential complex, where Chen Jiu'er and Chu Xiao were surrounded by dozens of assassins.
The lead assassin, wearing a mask and a baseball cap, sneered when he saw that the two had nowhere to go.
"Chu Xiao, you've chosen the path to hell when there's one, so don't blame us today!"
Chu Xiao instinctively pulled Chen Jiu'er behind him and looked at the leader of the assassins.
