If Jiang Qiao hadn't reminded her, the woman would have forgotten about it. "You, how did you know?"
The man and his son turned around and saw that the woman's expression was not right.
"What's wrong?"
The woman touched her head and then shook her head. "I can't describe the feeling. It feels numb, and there's a chill running through my bones. At first, I thought I was frozen."
Oh, right, I remember now. When I came in, this woman was standing behind me. I felt like something pricked me; it was her. She did something to me. "Dad, I don't want to die! I haven't even seen our eldest son yet—"
The man jabbed Jiang Qiao's head hard with his weapon. "Tell me, what exactly did you do to my wife?"
Jiang Qiao said slowly, "I didn't do anything, just to have some security for myself. You guys asked me to come here for no reason, so I was unsure of myself. So, we're in the same boat."
If I drink this soup, I won't be able to cure your wife's poison, because there's a time limit. Once the onset time has passed, even I won't be able to cure the poison.
So, for everyone's sake, I won't drink this soup. You can tie me up now.
The young man looked at the man anxiously, "Dad, what should we do? Is Mom alright?"
The man sighed, "Fine, Jiang Qiao, you win. Son, get a rope, help him up, and let's go now."
"Let's leave now, no need to wait for anyone?"
The man shook his head. "No need. Too many people will make things difficult. Besides, we don't know where that woman is. We're probably not safe right now. Let's go quickly."
Dou Yanhua was still in shock, realizing that the woman in front of her was actually Jiang Qiao.
"Uncle, you must take her with you. Do you know how capable Jiang Qiao is?"
The man nodded. "That's why I'm doing this. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After tying Jiang Qiao up, the group of people, carrying packages and food, thought they would leave through the back door. However, they were well-prepared and had dug a tunnel at some point. The four of them pushed Jiang Qiao into the tunnel.
With her mouth stuffed, Jiang Qiao couldn't call for help. However, her life was temporarily safe because there were people following behind her. So, even if Jiang Qiao wanted to take something out of her spatial storage, it wouldn't be convenient at the moment.
The tunnel was quite narrow at first, but it became more and more spacious as you went further in. Even Dou Yanhua was surprised, saying, "Uncle, when did you build such a thing? It's amazing!"
The man smiled smugly. "What's so great about it? The first section was done by my family of three. This second half was left by our ancestors. I just benefited from it. Nobody in the village knows about this place. I dug it out by accident."
Jiang Qiao wanted to purse her lips, but her mouth was stuffed with something, so she had to give up. Looking at the other party's smug look, she thought, "Isn't this just the old tunnel? Do you really think that you can escape with this place? You've underestimated them."
Liu Zhanyu and his group haven't even shown their faces yet. She doesn't think this guy can stay put at this time. It's not like him. Maybe he's waiting for her on the beach right now.
After walking for a while, Jiang Qiao could hear the sound of waves, which clearly indicated that they were approaching the end of the tunnel.
The man smiled smugly. "Jiang Qiao, how about that? You didn't expect this day to come, did you? Hehe, son, give it your all and push that thing in front of you quickly." As the tunnel door opened, the view suddenly opened up, and Jiang Qiao never expected that there would be a long and narrow bay outside.
She just wasn't sure if anyone else besides the man's family knew about this place.
What puzzled her even more was whether they were going to dive across? In this freezing weather, not only would it be impossible to freeze to death, but the chances of swimming across were slim. What about a boat? She felt there should be a boat nearby.
Sure enough, when the man led them out, there was a boat tied to the rocks.
The man gestured for Jiang Qiao to get on the boat quickly. Jiang Qiao noticed that it was an automatic boat with a motor. She was worried that if the people chasing behind them didn't catch up, they might have to fight on the sea.
As the man started the boat and sailed away, he waved to the person behind him with a smug look on his face. After all, he had lived here for so many years, and it would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for the place. However, he longed for his family to be reunited and wanted to live the life of a superior person.
In a few days, his family will be living a life of luxury and excitement, and this place will probably only remain a memory for him in his old age.
However, before the man could be smug for long, he was dumbfounded when the boat sailed away, because many boats were surrounding him. He wanted to rush out, but unfortunately, they didn't give him the chance at all.
"Don't move! Drop your weapons!"
The woman panicked immediately. "Dad, what should we do? So many ships, so many people—"
The man stopped the boat and was about to pull Jiang Qiao in front of him when, unfortunately, he thought of the beginning but not the end. At that moment, Jiang Qiao's body trembled, and the rope binding her instantly fell off. She slapped him with her palm. The man tried to resist, but unfortunately, he underestimated Jiang Qiao's strength.
Jiang Qiao slapped the man down on the boat, then quickly subdued him with a grappling move. As for the weapon in his pocket, it was now in her hands.
"You all better behave yourselves and don't move, or I won't be so polite."
Dou Yanhua's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What was going on? They were surrounded, and Jiang Qiao had turned the tables?
"Dad, what should we do?"
The other party's son was young and had never encountered such a situation before. He only knew that his father was going to take them to enjoy a better life, and that he had an older brother waiting for them to reunite as a family. This situation was not what he had expected.
The man gave a bitter laugh. "Listen to Jiang Qiao, don't move. We've lost, and we've lost completely—"
The next sentence was almost a muttered monologue, it was unclear whether it was spoken to himself or to someone else.
However, the man still had a question in his mind: "Jiang Qiao, how did you untie the ropes?"
He had already checked everything beforehand and found nothing hidden on the woman.
Jiang Qiao snorted, "I know bone shrinking skills. I didn't want to show them before because I wanted to know what you guys were up to. Hehe, I'm really sorry, I have this skill. Don't you know about it yet?"
Unfortunately, it's too late. Even the most cunning fox can't escape the hunter's grasp. You were too happy too soon, and your methods were too low-class. Since you knew I was Jiang Qiao, you shouldn't have dragged me to your house. Did you really think I'd been wasting my time all these years?
At that moment, Liu Zhanyu, standing on the boat, waved to Jiang Qiao with a smile, "Girl, I'm sorry to have startled you."
Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You old man are really good at keeping your composure. Aren't you afraid I'll be kidnapped? Why did it take you so long to get here?"
Liu Zhanyu slowly swam over. "I'm too early. Does that mean I won't see the show? Besides, who are you? Jiang Qiao? You even brought your own helpers. Do you think you can let Jian Ling suffer?"
