Actually, he and Xiao Fang had secretly planned to rescue the old man and the others, but before they could put their plan into action, the old man struck first. Therefore, the rescue plan had to be brought forward. However, the plan was still incomplete, and preparations were insufficient; whether they could escape depended entirely on luck.
The old man nodded, then carried Mu Wenya on his back and quickly ran out of the corridor.
Meanwhile, the smoke in the corridor grew thicker and thicker, the newspapers that had been lit earlier caught fire, and other things were also on fire, with the flames growing larger and larger.
"Fire! Fire! Help! Fire!"
People were running around shouting. The corridor became increasingly chaotic.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough..." Mu Wenya couldn't hold on any longer and started coughing incessantly.
“Daughter… just bear with it a little longer, Daddy will take you out soon.”
Because he was carrying Mu Wenya, the old man couldn't scale the walls and could only carry her down the stairs. Fortunately, the corridor was bustling with people, and with Xiao Fang and Qingyun cleaning up after them, they escaped without encountering much trouble.
A loud roar erupted as a helicopter circled above the villa in the courtyard.
"Daughter, do you see that? That's our helicopter. We'll be able to escape soon. Dad said he would protect you and wouldn't let you marry such a beast." The old man came into the yard, relaxed his guard, and quickened his pace.
Mu Wenya nestled against his back, feeling somewhat guilty. "Dad, be careful..."
However, before he could finish speaking, with a "thump," the old man suddenly knelt down on one knee. Mu Wenya also slid off his back.
"Dad..." Mu Wenya screamed in despair.
The old man was shot in the calf, and blood seeped out, quickly soaking his trouser leg.
The helicopter came down from the sky and stopped in front of them.
Originally, it should have been the men in black piloting the helicopter, but now it was Qin Lang's men. And the one stepping out of the helicopter was none other than Qin Lang himself.
The bullet that hit the old man's leg was also fired by Qin Lang.
"Qin Lang!" Mu Wenya glared at him angrily. "Why did you hurt my family! You promised me you wouldn't hurt my father, you promised me!"
"I'm so sorry, Wenya, it was too dark and I couldn't see clearly. I didn't recognize Grandpa Mu at all, I thought... he was a thief."
Qin Lang said with a half-smile, his tone full of perfunctoriness and utterly devoid of sincerity. It was obvious that this was just a deliberate excuse.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I can't see that you did it on purpose?!" Mu Wenya was both angry and anxious, pressing hard on the old man's leg wound, trying to stop the bleeding.
Both of her hands were stained red, and blood was still flowing from between her fingers.
Bastard! Qin Lang is a complete bastard!
What was she thinking? How could she have fallen for such a cold-blooded and ruthless man? She even wallowed in despair for him for several years, turning herself into a monster and hurting her closest family members!
Upon hearing this, Qin Lang clearly disagreed. He raised his pistol and slowly wiped the hot muzzle, his expression unreadable. Only his tone was filled with coldness and dissatisfaction.
“Wenya, you can’t blame me for this. He tried to take you away from me. You know how much I love you; I can’t live without you. I promised to marry you, and you promised you would, didn’t you? I can protect your family, including this old man, but on one condition—”
