Li Sui Town News 11
Chu Li repeated the elbowing action and knew that his strength was exhausted and pain gradually began to appear in his elbow.
She couldn't help but frown, her mind racing, trying to find a way to escape the man's restraints.
However, this man had nothing but fat and brute strength, and no matter how he struggled, he remained unmoved.
Just when she was in despair, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the front.
Chu Li took a breath and looked up in the direction of the sound.
Golden candlelight illuminated the entire wall. Beneath the arched building, You Chengze stood still, his chest heaving slightly. In the darkness, his deep eyes were filled with worry and fear.
The next moment, several people followed him one after another.
Chu Li initially thought they were bad guys, but after seeing clearly that Jiang Xizhi was the leader, the tension in her heart instantly relaxed. Fortunately, at least they were not completely wiped out by the enemy from both sides. Her rescuers had arrived.
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could recover, Chu Liyu caught a glimpse of a cold light in his eyes. In an instant, he felt a chill on his neck.
Chu Li reached out carefully and found a short dagger touching her neck. If she turned her head even slightly, she would die.
This sudden change made Chu Li break out in a cold sweat.
"If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill this woman and end it right here!" A threatening voice came from behind Chu Li.
As soon as these words were spoken, You Chengze, who was about to step forward to save people, stopped his action, frowned, and his eyes were fixed on the dagger.
The subdued Chu Li took a deep breath and didn't dare to move at this moment.
However, Jiang Xizhi did not retreat when he heard this. Instead, he took a step forward calmly and walked to You Chengze. His broad figure just happened to block the man's pale face.
Chu Li held her breath. During the meal, she could clearly hear her own disordered heartbeat.
"Li Ying, it's you." Jiang Xizhi's surprised voice sounded.
Li Ying, it turns out that this dead pig is called Li Ying, and the two know each other.
Chu Li was thinking about it, and Li Ying behind him smiled coldly: "Jiang Xizhi, considering our past friendship, I will not hurt you. As long as you let me go, I will return this dead girl to you intact."
Seeing Jiang Xizhi leading so many people to the top of the mountain, Li Ying knew clearly that all his men had been captured and his plan to make money was in vain.
Jiang Xizhi frowned and said, "Li Ying, the crime you committed has already violated the laws of the mainland. Do you still want us to show mercy?"
"Then don't blame me!"
After Li Ying roared, Chu Li felt a sharp pain in his neck, followed by an itchy feeling as if liquid was flowing through his skin.
"You all looked down on me in the past, but now I'm rich and prosperous. I won't let you ruin my plans!"
"Li Ying! Stop being stubborn! Release Chu Li and come back with us. At least there's a chance to reform!"
Jiang Xizhi's persuasion was completely useless, and all he got was Li Ying's repeated sneers.
Chu Li didn't dare to move at this moment. She knew in her heart that she was just a bargaining chip in Li Ying's hand. It seemed that she would be injured at most but not die.
That's enough.
Chu Li made up his mind, his eyes deep as he slowly looked towards Jiang Xizhi.
She signaled with her eyes that the people on the opposite side should ignore her and capture Li Ying directly.
Jiang Xizhi still did nothing.
His face was gloomy, his eyes were full of sadness, and his entire attention was occupied by Li Ying.
Chu Li couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Although Jiang Xizhi looked reliable, he was actually the most unreliable person. Once he got emotional, he forgot how dangerous the situation was at the moment.
She had to save herself.
ah--
Clang——
The man's scream of pain behind him overlapped with the sharp sound of the dagger hitting the ground.
Chu Li looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the man who had been extremely arrogant just now was now rolling on the ground holding his legs in agony.
An arrow was stuck in Li Ying's right leg.
Chu Li was stunned. The situation happened too suddenly. He never expected that someone could knock this man down so accurately.
Then, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch her neck. Looking down, she saw the eye-catching blood.
"Chu Li——"
You Chengze's voice sounded at the right time.
Chu Li turned his head and looked at You Chengze. At this moment, he dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and ran towards him.
When they got closer, Chu Li was embraced by You Chengze.
She accidentally bumped into the man's chest, and the breeze from the table blew away the bloody smell, replacing it with the unique fragrance of green plants on You Chengze's body.
"Anything?"
Chu Li was about to shake his head when the man in front of him straightened himself up. He looked at her with a burning gaze for a long time before it settled firmly on her neck.
This series of actions made Chu Li particularly uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "It's okay, just a breakout."
"It's bleeding."
Seeing his frown, Chu Li was a little flattered. She said, "It's really okay. Let me go first. I want to teach this man a lesson!"
That fat pig, he even wanted to flirt with her and take her hostage. Today, she, Chu Li, must teach him a lesson on how to behave!
Chu Li was just about to turn around and teach Li Ying a lesson, but the next second, a burst of brute force appeared from her wrist, and before she could react, she was taken out of this dangerous place by You Chengze.
"You Chengze, what are you doing! I haven't settled the score with that stinky man yet, let me go!"
Chu Li was shouting and struggling with his hands.
However, You Chengze, who had his back to her and was walking forward on his own, would never listen to her.
She didn't fall silent until she stepped onto the elevator and saw her furry child with tear-stained face.
They are all fine.
So do she and You Chengze.
A creaking sound was heard. Chu Li was stunned for a moment, looking at the resident who activated the lift, then at You Chengze who acquiesced to the man's action. Suddenly panicked, he subconsciously grabbed You Chengze's hand and asked, "What are you doing! Jiang Xizhi is still up there."
As soon as he finished speaking, You Chengze looked over with a clear and cold gaze.
Chu Li stopped talking the moment it was about to reach his lips. For some reason, although You Chengze looked emotionless at the moment, upon closer inspection, he was filled with anger.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but then looked at the children huddled aside and fell silent.
The elevator slowly descended. During the journey, the two people tacitly kept silent.
Chu Li had just escaped from danger and breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on the ground like the children.
Seeing her sit down, the older girl came forward holding Chu Li's ragdoll cat.
The ragdoll cat's nose moved slightly, and it smelled the child's wound. It immediately broke free from the child's arms, walked in front of Chu Li, and used its superpowers.
"Thank you, sister."
Chu Li paused petting the kitten, and the anger she had just felt from her argument with You Chengze instantly dissipated. She looked at the little girl and said with a smile, "It's okay, as long as you're okay."
The little girl shook her head and continued, "The kitten healed our wounds, and we are all fine."
Chu Li understood, raised his hand and touched the puppet's head, praising it: "Well done, I'll give you some dried fish as a reward when we get back!"
The next moment, she remembered something and turned her head to ask the little girl, "What's your name?"
"My name is Jiang Xiaolu, and Jiang Xizhi is my father."
Jiang Xiaolu's clear voice was like a bomb dropped into Chu Li's ears——
who? !
Jiang Xizhi's daughter? !
Chu Li was stunned and asked, "Lulu, are you... serious?"
Looking at Chu Li's incredible face, Jiang Xiaolu nodded heavily: "Sister, I won't lie to you."
"Then how did you get here?"
Hearing this, the little child's face showed a hint of fear, as if she didn't want to recall this incident. But Chu Li had saved them and had a good relationship with her father, so she hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"At first, we were mischievous and went down the mountain to play. Then one day, we played too much and didn't go home until dark. We happened to run into Uncle Li who was coming back from outside." The Uncle Li Jiang Xiaolu was referring to was Li Ying. "Although we were young, we knew that Uncle Li had passed away a while ago. When we saw Uncle Li, we were scared to death. But Uncle Li didn't get angry. He even said that if we went to the top of the mountain with him, there would be candy."
The child couldn't resist the temptation of snacks and happily went to the top of the mountain with Li Ying.
However, what these children did not expect was that they entered Tiger School.
Li Ying kidnapped these children and sold them to other families. She only gave them food but did not take good care of them. If her business was not going well, she would abuse them.
Chu Li was horrified when he heard this, and he wanted to beat this damn man up right now.
What made Chu Li even more angry was that this man had already sold several batches of babies before kidnapping Jiang Xiaolu and others.
No wonder the buildings on the top of the mountain became so magnificent and the people were dressed so richly in such a short period of time.
These people are worse than animals.
Chu Li cursed inwardly.
The next moment, a layer of warmth covered the back of her hand.
Chu Li was slightly startled and looked at Jiang Xiaolu beside him.
The little girl smiled at her suddenly, as if she understood something, and comforted her: "We are already very satisfied that we can hold on until someone comes to rescue us. Don't worry, sister. Father will take care of this matter."
"But your father..."
Thinking back to how he looked dazed just now, Chu Li didn't want to comment any further.
After all, he is still too soft-hearted!
Jiang Xiaolu seemed to know what she was going to say. With a smile on her lips, she said, "Father is a very loyal and righteous man. Uncle Li is on good terms with him, so he might not have reacted for a while. Don't worry, sister."
Chu Li looked at her and couldn't help but sigh. This little girl was not very old, but she spoke very clearly.
She looks completely different from her father.
Chu Li couldn't help laughing, then raised his hand, touched Jiang Xiaolu's head, and commented: "Little adult."
