Chapter 663 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 19
Xu Qingyuan lowered his eyes and asked in an ambiguous tone, "What do you think?"
Song Jinhuan also climbed onto his arm with her other hand. Seeing the man in black approaching step by step, she said without hesitation, "My lord, let's jump off the cliff together!"
Regardless of who the target is, the other person will be implicated.
If you jump along with the protagonist, there's still a glimmer of hope.
But against a menacing man in black, it's hard to say.
Xu Qingyuan was stabbed multiple times; his fate is uncertain.
But someone as insignificant as her could very well be killed with a single blow.
Xu Qingyuan calmly reminded him, "A cliff hundreds of feet high will surely shatter you to pieces."
"So high?" Song Jinhuan was shocked. Then... even if the other party had the protagonist's halo, the chances of escaping were probably not very high.
Moreover, given that a bug has already occurred, whether the "halo" effect still exists remains to be seen!
The two men were whispering to each other, oblivious to their surroundings, which made the leader of the men in black feel provoked.
The leader shouted sternly, "Hey! You can't escape! You're all going to die today!"
The sound was as rough as sand and gravel on the ground; it was very unpleasant to hear.
The group of men in black approached step by step.
Song Jinhuan instinctively pulled Xu Qingyuan behind her and shouted urgently, "Wait!"
"Even if we die, let us die knowing why!"
"Who sent you?!"
The leader of the men in black sneered, "Don't think I can't see that you're stalling for time."
"If you want to know the truth, go to the underworld, and King Yama will tell you."
The leader didn't waste any words and just wanted a quick victory.
The missions to assassinate Jiang Jinghuai and Xu Qingyuan have failed time and time again. If they fail again today, where will the Iron Hero Gang put their face?
Xu Qingyuan could clearly sense that the hand gripping his arm was trembling.
The person, who was a head shorter than him, blocked half of his body from his way.
Regardless of the other party's reasons, the fact that they never considered abandoning him in a crisis was enough to make him refuse to take any risks.
They wouldn't choose the cliff behind them.
Song Jinhuan realized that the men in black were eager to kill them.
It seems like jumping off a cliff is the only option left!
She gripped Xu Qingyuan's arm tightly, trying her best to keep her voice from trembling, "My lord, jump...jump!"
Song Jinhuan gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and pulled Xu Qingyuan to run away.
It's just a few steps away.
Xu Qingyuan smiled, showing no fear of death. Instead, he took two steps following her lead, then lifted her up by the waist and took two steps toward the man in black.
Song Jinhuan's feet suddenly left the ground. Huh?
She looked up and could only see the other person's chin.
"I know who is behind this. If anything happens to me, his incriminating evidence will appear before the Emperor within half a day."
The man's expression remained calm, yet he couldn't help but speak.
The man in black hesitated, "Don't try to fool me!"
Xu Qingyuan remained calm and composed, saying, "I will exchange my life for evidence of my crimes. You might as well ask about this deal first."
The man in black thought to himself, "The two are already in my hands. As long as I keep a close watch on them, taking their lives will be a piece of cake."
"Hmph, I'll let you live a few more hours."
Song Jinhuan stared blankly at the scene before her. That's it?
All that mental activity she was going through, all that rapid-fire analysis, was utterly useless!
Indeed, one shouldn't overthink things.
He kicked his feet, which were suspended on the ground.
Xu Qingyuan then released her.
The two were bound hand and foot, blindfolded, and put into the same carriage they had been in before.
