Chapter 357 No Bottom Line
The men in black seemed to know Xie Zhao's tactics very well. Four of them surrounded him, while the rest scattered in the corners of the room, waiting for their chance to strike.
"Yuzhu, be careful!"
Xie Zhao narrowed his eyes, his pupils shrank slightly, and he held his breath and focused. He stared at the man in black in front of him, and a blood 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, no matter how much you plot, 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 quickly jumped up and kicked at 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 appear, stretched out his hand and ran straight towards Jiang Yuzhu.
Hong Jin was already having a hard time resisting with the baby in his arms, 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 changed his tactics to snatch the baby 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, so she would also be in danger.
It was a critical moment and Jiang Yuzhu had no time to think too much. She was a mother, and even if the baby was not her own, 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 restrained 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 block it, and threw Jiang Yuzhu away, and his body flew up and hit the wall.
The screams woke up the sleeping babies, and the two kids cried incessantly.
Because of forcibly saving people, Xie Zhao was stabbed and bleeding profusely.
"Yuanhe..."
Jiang Yuzhu was about to move closer to Xie Zhao when the door suddenly opened 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 all rushed in, they immediately realized that the atmosphere was wrong and started howling like ghosts and wolves.
The crowd separated Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao and his wife. There was also an accomplice of the man in black among the guests. Seeing that they could not catch the kid, they raised their hands 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 trick, placed a wooden basin next to her, and drained her blood little by little, smiling grimly, "Jiang Yuzhu, whether you live or die depends on how fast Xie Zhao comes."
The sound of dripping water rang in her ears so real that Jiang Yuzhu was suddenly awakened and felt a fine layer of sweat on her back.
Her nose was filled with the smell of blood. She opened her eyes and looked around, and found 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.
The entire cell was lit by palm oil lamps on the wall.
She checked her clothes and found she was neatly dressed. It seemed that the other party had not yet made a move on her.
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 give Lu Yunxi a righteous scolding?
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 in front of you?"
Outside the cell, a person had been standing there for some 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 under his eyelashes.
Although she was mentally prepared, Jiang Yuzhu still felt as if a huge rock was pressing down her heart. She screamed like a frightened deer, "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, with 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 maintained were all deceived by Jiang Yuzhu overnight.
If he had known this, Lu Yunxi 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 be thick-skinned and try it first so that you can suffer less.
Hearing this, Lu Yunxi did not show any sarcasm. After appreciating enough, he asked, "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 there was such a big difference between the person he hadn't seen for several years and why he 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 men who were 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 puzzled, "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."
Not a single word of truth came from the mouths of this couple. Lu Yunxi was really 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 have sent someone to check, 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 for a wife. Isn't it easy to change her?
Getting promoted, getting rich, and losing his wife, Lu Yunxi's 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 doesn't have a good solution.
She couldn't think of anything else except delaying time.
"Cousin, what are you going to do with me?"
Jiang Yuzhu was still relatively free in the cell, with her hands and feet not tied up. She asked tentatively, "Aren't you afraid that I'll hit my head against the wall and lose a good hostage?"
