The men in black seemed to know Xie Zhao's tactics very well. Four of them surrounded him, while the rest of them scattered in the corners of the room, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Yuzhu, be careful!"
Xie Zhao narrowed his eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, and he held his breath. He stared at the man in black in front of him, and a bloodshot color was reflected in his eyes.
The scene was complicated. Jiang Yuzhu's attention was on the children held by Hong Jin and Hong Xiu. Although they were not Fugui and Wanwan, she still cared about them.
"Xie Zhao, even if you scheme again, it will be useless!"
The man in black who was coming towards him laughed wildly three times, and without warning, he and another accomplice picked up a dagger and rushed towards Xie Zhao.
Xie Zhao was too lazy to talk nonsense and just wanted to end the battle quickly.
He jumped up quickly and kicked the two men in black with his toes. The men in black flew out, but suddenly turned around in the middle and entangled Xie Zhao tightly.
"Quick, catch Jiang Yuzhu!"
In the corner, another man in black took advantage of the opportunity to emerge, stretched out his hand and rushed towards Jiang Yuzhu.
Hong Jin was already having a hard time resisting while holding the baby, and when he saw his wife's clothes being grabbed by the man in black, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the man in black had already anticipated this, and he made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, changing his tactics to snatch the kid away.
Jiang Yuzhu was nervous, her palms were cold, and she thought to herself: No way!
The girl in Hongjin's hand replaces Wanwan. Wanwan has a crescent-shaped birthmark on her body, but the little girl does not.
If the kid was caught by Lu Yunxi, given that man's cruelty, he would definitely not survive, and Wanwan's whereabouts would be exposed, and she would also be in danger.
At this critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu had no time to think too much. She was a mother, and even if the child was not her biological child, she had the responsibility to protect him.
The body moved faster than the brain. Jiang Yuzhu had already stood in front of Hong Jin and was imprisoned by the man in black.
Almost at the same time, a dull punch landed on the man in black, and it seemed as if the sound of bones breaking could be heard. The man in black could not resist, threw Jiang Yuzhu out, and his body flew up and hit the wall.
The screams woke up the sleeping babies, and the two babies cried incessantly.
Because of forcibly saving someone, Xie Zhao was stabbed and bleeding profusely.
"Yuanhe..."
Jiang Yuzhu was about to move closer to Xie Zhao when the door suddenly burst open and a large number of residents rushed in. She asked in panic, "Is there a ladder leading downstairs?"
The downstairs was already a sea of fire, and someone told them to escape by going down the ladder in the room on the second floor.
Everyone didn't suspect anything and went in. After they rushed in, they immediately realized that the atmosphere was wrong and started howling.
The crowd separated Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao. There was also an accomplice of the man in black among the guests. Seeing that he could not catch the kid, he raised his hand and slashed Jiang Yuzhu on the back of the neck, and flew out in the chaos.
Tick, tick.
Jiang Yuzhu had a nightmare. In the dream, she was captured by Lu Yunxi and was being tortured.
Lu Yunxi used her tricks, placed a wooden basin beside her, and drained her blood little by little, smiling grimly, "Jiang Yuzhu, whether you live or die depends on how quickly Xie Zhao arrives."
The sound of dripping water rang in her ears, so real that Jiang Yuzhu suddenly woke up and felt a thin layer of sweat on her back.
Her nose was filled with the smell of blood. She opened her eyes and looked around, only to find herself in a cell.
There was no light in the cell, it was cold and dark, and there was a salty, fishy and damp smell that hit me in the face.
The entire cell was lit by palm oil lamps on the wall.
She checked her clothes and found herself dressed neatly. It seemed that the other party had not made any move on her yet.
Jiang Yuzhu closed her eyes and thought. Based on her understanding of Lu Yunxi, with that abnormal distortion, the fact that he didn't move was even more terrifying, indicating that he was holding back a big move.
Is it too late for her to pretend to be deeply in love with Lu Yunxi now?
Or should I scold Lu Yunxi out of righteousness?
Jiang Yuzhu will not accept the loss in front of her. As long as she can protect herself, she has no bottom line.
"You're pretending to be asleep even though you're awake. What's wrong? Can't you recognize the situation?"
Outside the cell, a person had been standing there for an unknown period of time.
Under the dim flames, the man was dressed in black, standing in the shadows where no light could reach.
He took a small step towards the candle, and felt a chill beneath his eyelashes.
Despite being mentally prepared, Jiang Yuzhu felt as if a huge stone had been pressed down on her heart. Like a frightened deer, she screamed, "Cousin!"
"Jiang Yuzhu, your personality hasn't changed at all."
Lu Yunxi's smile was creepy. He took two steps back and sat on the chair, his long legs resting on the iron railing, his face terribly gloomy.
After years of painstaking planning, he thought everything was ready. The tens of thousands of private soldiers he had raised were all deceived by Jiang Yuzhu overnight.
If Lu Yunxi had known this, he should not have shown mercy and should have eliminated the trouble in the capital!
"Cousin, are you here to save me?"
Jiang Yuzhu was not affected and said with great emotion.
No matter what, it's better to test it out with a thick skin first and suffer less.
Hearing this, Lu Yunxi didn't show any sarcasm. After admiring him enough, he said, "Who are you?"
It is certain that the person in front of me is not Jiang Yuzhu.
At first, Lu Yunxi couldn't understand why the person he hadn't seen for several years was so different from the one who was willing to die to marry his cousin.
Jiang Yuzhu in front of him was smart and cunning, and had no feelings for him at all.
The subordinates sent out, such as Jia Xinglin, were killed in batches and never gained any advantage.
"I'm your cousin!"
Jiang Yuzhu's heart trembled, and she pretended to be confused. "I know you are not my aunt's biological child, but you and I have been siblings for many years. How can this family relationship be severed just like that?"
Lu Yunxi stared at Jiang Yuzhu and sneered, "He is indeed a shameless person, a perfect match for Xie Zhao."
There wasn't a single word of truth spoken by this couple. Lu Yunxi was badly cheated!
If those two hadn't blocked his way, Lu Yunxi would have already sat on the throne. The throne would have been his!
"Jiang Yuzhu, I've already sent someone to investigate, and indeed, no one has replaced you. But how do you explain your drastic change in temperament?"
Capturing the offspring to threaten Xie Zhao was Lu Yunxi's last move.
Lu Yunxi was angry when his men captured Jiang Yuzhu, and secretly cursed his men for being good-for-nothings.
Blood is thicker than water among family members, but it is not the same with a wife. Isn’t it easy to change her?
Lu Yunxi got promoted, got rich, and his wife died. This move might have provided support for Xie Zhao.
"You'd better answer honestly, otherwise..."
Lu Yunxi raised his hand, and the man in black dragged in a dead body.
The body was headless and footless, and was no longer complete.
There was a strong smell of blood in the cell.
Jiang Yuzhu had to cover her mouth and nose with her sleeves and showed no fear of the corpse.
In his previous life, he was a forensic doctor and had pieced together body parts. This was just a small scene.
The key to the problem is how to survive in the hands of a pervert, and Jiang Yuzhu has no good solution.
She could think of nothing else but to delay.
"Cousin, what are you going to do with me?"
Jiang Yuzhu was still relatively free in the cell, her hands and feet not tied. She asked tentatively, "Aren't you afraid that I'll hit my head against the wall and lose a good hostage?"
