Chapter 42 Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs
Although Xu Yucheng and he have been in the same class for such a long time, it feels like the first time he has met him. Lu Ran now exudes danger, as if he is desperate.
Suddenly, Lu Ran leaned down, pressing her shoulders hard, his eyes cold. "From the beginning, you didn't even want to look at me, or even say a word. And when it comes to Zhou Yichen, you always act like you're chasing him. Do you like him that much?"
Xu Yucheng's left shoulder was pinched hard by him, and her brows were furrowed in pain.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Lu Ran pinched her chin with his other hand, his face a little ferocious, "He is so worthy of your love."
Crazy! Really crazy.
Xu Yucheng turned her head and tried hard to break free from his hand.
Not only did Lu Ran not let go, he hit her even harder.
The pain brought tears to her eyes and she was forced to look up at him.
Lu Ran loved seeing her like this, a sneer flashed across his lips, "Tell me, if Zhou Yichen saw you being bullied by me, would he still want you?"
Xu Yucheng's pupils shrank sharply, and her voice trembled as she was about to cry, "What are you going to do?"
"What to do? Of course, do what all men like to do." Lu Ran released her chin. "Men will become bad when they have money. This is true for everyone."
He had already untied the rope on Xu Yucheng's hands. She wanted to leave here quickly. She didn't care about the pain and was about to stand up with her hands on the ground.
But her strength is far inferior to Lu Ran's.
Lu Ran didn't move, but raised his hand and pulled the person down again.
Her cell phone also fell off.
Lu Ran was one step faster than her. He picked up the phone on the ground and weighed it twice. When he saw the lock screen wallpaper on it, his eyes dimmed.
"You are so obedient in front of Zhou Yichen, but you are so unhappy with me. If he treats you well, I can do the same."
Xu Yucheng's face was full of determination, "You are not worthy to be compared with Zhou Zhou."
Lu Ran smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Not worthy, huh? Then you will soon be unworthy of him too."
Her legs were shaking unconsciously, and her hands were tightly clutching the hem of her clothes.
Suddenly, his head felt loose, and his soft black hair fell down.
Lu Ran held her hairband in his hand. He closed his eyes and felt the fragrance drifting into his nostrils.
Just as he was about to take the next step, someone came in.
Being suddenly interrupted, his face was full of impatience. He turned to the person who came and said, "Who let you in?"
Scar Brother was holding a cell phone in his hand when a middle-aged man's voice came from the other side, "Lu Ran, you beast! Who allowed you to go there without permission?"
Lu Ran paused and listened to the familiar voice continue.
Father Lu screamed on the phone, "Are you going to kill me?"
"Beast, is this what a father would say to his own child?" Lu Ran pulled his lips into a smile.
Xu Yucheng listened to the rage and the call of "beast" from the other end and was surprised that a father would say such words.
After the phone call ended, Scar Brother walked over and pulled Lu Ran away.
"Let me go, don't you want money?"
"You weren't the one who hired me."
Watching Lu Ran being dragged away, Xu Yucheng took a deep breath, her legs still trembling, and at this moment she was trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to fall.
I miss Zhou Zhou and mom and dad so much.
On the other side, Zhou Yichen stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of a fork in the road. Behind him was an empty blue taxi. He realized that it was the car that took Chengcheng away.
The uneasiness in my heart began to grow stronger, and my right hand touched the string of eighteen seeds on my left wrist.
He calmed down, looked at the two roads ahead, stepped on the accelerator again and drove straight to the right one.
The road was difficult to drive on, but it did not affect the speed of the car at all. He only knew that Chengcheng must need him very much now.
At the same time, the Lu family.
Father Lu threw the cup on the table heavily to the ground, and the cup shattered into pieces in an instant and scattered all over the floor.
The woman came over and was startled. She asked, "What's going on? Why are you so angry? Isn't the person tied up?"
"It's that loser all over again! He was studying well at school, but now he suddenly shows up at the factory. He's trying to kill me!"
The woman was shocked, "What!!"
She stroked her hair, her eyes hollow. "It's over, it's over. That's the Zhou family. You know how powerful the Zhou family is in Chaoyang City. If they knew we were the ones who kidnapped them, it would be the end—"
Father Lu's heart was in turmoil because of what she said. He was already upset, and after hearing what she said, he became even more frightened. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Why are you panicking? They don't know yet."
The woman said anxiously, "They will all know sooner or later. It's all because of your good son."
"Then let them never know." Father Lu's eyes were fierce.
"You mean, to silence him?" The woman made a gesture of wiping her neck, then came to her senses and asked, "What about your own son?"
Father Lu looked ahead, his tone as if he was talking about something very ordinary, "Since he doesn't care about my life or death, then I will only be a nuisance if I keep him. What if he bites me back in the future?"
Mr. Lu didn't see it, but the woman showed a smug look on her face.
——
Outside the abandoned factory, Scar Brother was holding a cell phone in his hand and had just hung up the call. Xiao Qi and Lao Liu were beside him.
Lao Liu sighed, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but this old guy is so cruel that he can't even kill his own son. What a ruthless person."
Xiao Qi also didn't expect this and was slightly surprised.
"Okay, hurry up and go."
There are abandoned industrial machines here, containing chemicals that will explode immediately if they come into contact with open flames.
Inside, next to Xu Yucheng was Lu Ran, who also had his hands and feet tied and was thrown aside by them.
The two could hardly move.
She looked at the few people who had been fiddling with something with their heads down since they came in.
I knew someone said, "Okay."
Scar Brother stood up, his eyes lingered on the two of them for a while, but in the end he said nothing and walked out.
Only Lao Liu glanced at Xu Yucheng lying on the ground before leaving.
Lu Ran saw that there was a rope slowly burning at the place closest to the machine, but the end of the rope was connected to one end of the machine's power supply.
His head buzzed and his face was filled with fear. He struggled hard to break free from the rope, but the rope was too tight. He also moved his body and slowly moved outside.
Xu Yucheng's face turned pale instantly. Her hands and feet were completely tied. She tried hard to move to the pillar behind her, trying to use friction to break the rope.
Time and time again, she stared at the burning rope in front of her.
Lu Ran was wriggling on the ground like a maggot.
Outside, Scar Brother and others just got into the car and prepared to leave.
Lao Liu suddenly clutched his stomach and cried out in pain, "I can't hold it any longer. You guys go to a safe place up ahead and wait for me. I really can't hold it any longer."
After saying that, he opened the car door and ran away with his back bent.
Xiao Qi looked at the man running towards the house and frowned, "Doesn't he know that the rope is about to burn out?"
"Never mind him, let's go first."
A car started its engine and drove away.
Inside the factory, Xu Yucheng felt that the rope had become a little loose due to being worn out, so he did not dare to slow down for a moment and continued to rub it.
Suddenly, Lao Liu, who had just left, came back and walked straight towards Xu Yucheng.
When Lu Ran saw the person, his originally dead eyes brightened up again, and he bit the trouser leg of the person who was coming.
Lao Liu kicked him directly.
Xu Yucheng was still grinding behind him, it was almost there, it would break soon.
She bit her lips tightly, and seemed to have no strength left at this moment, but she did not dare to relax.
Old Liu turned his head and looked at the burning rope. It was getting shorter and shorter. He had to speed up.
He squatted down and was about to move towards her.
Xu Yucheng kicked him hard and said, "Get out of here!" Her voice was almost broken.
Lao Liu was annoyed by her kicking and wanted to hold her foot with one hand.
But before his hand touched it, it flew straight to the side and hit the floor with a heavy muffled sound.
"Zhou Zhou—woo—Zhou Zhou." Xu Yucheng's tears rolled down her face, and her whole body was shaking.
Zhou Yichen's bloodshot eyes were scarlet, which was enough to show how much force the kick just now had exerted.
He quickly squatted down and soothed her gently, "Chengcheng, be good. Chengcheng, don't cry."
While comforting her, he untied the ropes that tied her.
Xu Yucheng obviously hadn't recovered from what had just happened. She was breathing heavily and her heart was beating so hard that it almost jumped out.
Zhou Yichen untied the rope and looked at her wrists where blood was oozing out. He felt so distressed that he almost suffocated.
Xu Yucheng saw the person standing up behind him and opened his eyes wide, "Zhou Zhou, be careful!" He quickly pulled him away with both hands.
But she was still a step too slow, and the wooden board fell towards Zhou Yichen.
Zhou Yichen groaned, but continued to untie the rope on her feet.
Before Lao Liu could strike again, the person in front of him quickly stood up and he took two steps back in fear.
Zhou Yichen punched his head with both fists as if he didn't care about his life, then pulled up his arm and twisted it hard, breaking it.
The sound was so loud that even Lu Ran, who was still crawling on the ground, heard it. He didn't dare to move at this moment, for fear that he would be the next one.
Xu Yucheng kept an eye on the burning rope, and with trembling hands, she untied the rope that was about to fall apart on her feet.
Finally, it’s solved!
She stood up so quickly that she almost fell to the side. Without any time to recover, she pulled Zhou Yichen, who was still hitting someone, away, grabbed his arm and ran outside.
Zhou Yichen also saw the rope that was about to burn out.
