Chapter 621 Waiting for the Rabbit
The patrolmen soon noticed the movement in the cell. After they went in to check, they found that almost all the prisoners in the cell had been released.
The two were shocked. "Quick, go tell the deputy chief that the prisoner has escaped from prison."
The other side had a large number of people, and with only two of them they were no match at all. They did not fight them head-on, but turned around and ran away.
"Let's go now!" Xie Rui sneered and rushed out with his men.
Meng Jiang was startled awake by the noise and saw Wang Furong following Xie Rui. He widened his eyes in surprise, thinking he had seen it wrong.
"Furong? Furong!" Meng Jiang stood up nervously. He wanted to go out, but the cell door was still locked.
Wang Furong heard the noise and turned around to look at him. This look was full of contempt and disdain, completely different from the tenderness and affection she had shown in the past.
Meng Jiang was stunned. "Furong, what happened to you? Were you held hostage by them? Furong..."
Wang Furong didn't care about Meng Jiang at all. After seeing Xie Rui and the others leave, she immediately followed them.
"Furong, Wang Furong!" Meng Jiang slammed the cell door hard, but still couldn't call back the person who was leaving.
"It's on fire! The cell is on fire! Put it out!"
Xie Rui and his companions rushed all the way to the outside of the prison. Strangely enough, they did not meet a single person from the Security Bureau on the way out.
"Your Highness, follow me this way!"
After going out, Wang Furong actively ran to the front to lead the way.
Xie Rui nodded, followed her and ran quickly towards the back of the residential area.
Tiankui City is very big, but because there are not many people, many places in the city are still vacant. Wang Furong accidentally discovered a loophole in the city while wandering around after entering the city.
Tiankui City is backed by a mountain. One side of the city wall may have been eroded by nature and has been damaged, but no one has discovered it yet.
This damaged area is just enough for one person to pass through safely.
After discovering the loophole, she did not make it public, but secretly wrote it down, thinking that it might be useful one day. Unexpectedly, it actually comes in handy now.
There was no pedestrian on the street at night. Wang Furong led Xie Rui and the others through a series of hidden paths with ease. After running for a long time, they finally arrived at the foot of a wall.
The guarding of the city wall here is not as strict as that of the entrance and exit. There are just people patrolling around every night, and they only come once a night, after midnight. Now it is past midnight and the patrolling people have left long ago. When they arrived here, it was like a deserted place.
"Just ahead, Your Highness. The exit is just ahead."
Wang Furong, with a look of joy on her face, brought Xie Rui to the hole. She worked hard to dig up the soil that was used to hide the base of the wall, and finally, a small hole that was big enough for one person to pass through was revealed.
Wang Furong turned around and looked at Xie Rui as if to seek credit. The moonlight illuminated her eager face, but whether it was because the moonlight was too dim or the blood on her face was too pale, she looked like a dying person.
Xie Rui winked at the person next to him, and the other person understood and walked forward and crawled out of the hole.
Soon, the voice of the guard came from the cave entrance, "Your Highness, you can come out, you can come out!"
A smile finally broke out on Xie Rui's face. He never expected that his sudden impulse could save his life.
Without saying a word, he crawled down the cave.
Seeing this, Wang Furong wanted to catch up immediately, but Xie Rui's guards kept her behind, saying that they needed to go over to protect Xie Rui as soon as possible. Only after the last guard had passed did Wang Furong go towards the cave entrance.
Wang Furong always had an irrepressible smile on her face, as if wealth and glory were right in front of her!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please wait for me..."
When Wang Furong crawled out of the cave, her face was illuminated by a flame. She raised her head in confusion, and her complexion turned pale in an instant.
Mengzi went forward in anger and pulled her out of the cave.
"I thought the Meng family treated you sincerely, but I didn't expect you to betray us!"
Wang Furong's face turned pale, but her eyes quickly searched the crowd, eager to find Xie Rui.
"Are you looking for him?"
The cold voice seemed to come from hell.
Wang Furong followed the line of sight and saw that the man she had been thinking about was being stepped on by Su Ying, with no power to resist at all.
Xie Rui's mouth was bleeding and his face looked even uglier than Wang Furong's. He was extremely annoyed at the moment. He should have noticed something was wrong when no one stopped them from leaving the prison, but he was so focused on escaping that he didn't notice this abnormality.
"City Lord, please spare my life. It was them, they were the ones who threatened me… If I didn't do this, they would have killed me. Fortunately, the City Lord arrived in time and saved my life…" Wang Furong tried desperately to make amends, but no one present would believe what she said.
Su Ying's eyes were heavy and cold as she stared at her. "Wang Furong, this city lord gave you a chance to live, but unfortunately, you didn't cherish it." After that, she looked at Meng Zi and said, "I will leave this person to you to deal with."
Mengzi said calmly, "Don't worry, City Lord, I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Su Ying bent down and picked up Xie Rui from the ground. They looked at each other. Xie Rui had long lost his former arrogance. Now, it was easier for Su Ying to kill him than to crush an ant.
"Does your father love you?"
Xie Rui suppressed his trembling body and said, "I, I am the eldest son of my father, and I am very likely to inherit the throne of Jin. If you, if you kill me..."
"Hush, just answer this city lord's questions simply and clearly."
Xie Rui gasped, "It hurts! It hurts so much! It hurts me so much!"
"Okay, I just happen to be missing something. When you get back, write a letter to your father and ask him to send the things over. Got it?"
How could Xie Rui dare not refuse?
Su Ying signaled them to take Xie Rui away, and the people he brought were executed on the spot, and their bodies were used to feed her little baby.
After capturing Xie Rui, she did not immediately ask him to send a message to the State of Jin because she wanted to see the reaction of the State of Jin first. However, the other party did not make any move at all.
In this case, there are two possibilities.
First, the king of Jin State doesn’t care about Xie Rui’s life or death at all, but based on her understanding of Xie Rui’s identity and background, it shouldn’t be the case.
Second, this fearless person came here secretly in hopes of getting an unexpected surprise. He probably wanted to take over the iron mine and then take credit for it to the king of Jin.
Su Ying felt that the second possibility was most likely.
In that case, there is a lot of money that can be made from him.
Wang Furong's heart sank to the bottom as she watched Xie Rui being taken away. She couldn't understand what had gone wrong and why Su Ying had brought people here to guard!
Of course she wouldn't think it through. She had been suspected as early as when Su Ying met her.
