Chapter 365 Forming an Alliance
She spoke of it casually, as if the 800,000 was nothing more than a trivial matter in her eyes.
"real?!"
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Lu Ziyi's face, and a ripple of emotion stirred in his heart. His eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Bai Zhuwei.
He had only asked her for help when he was desperate and had no hope of anything else, but he never expected that she would become his last lifeline.
He then stepped forward, his face filled with excitement, and repeatedly said, "Miss Bai, I have no way to repay your kindness. As long as we can get through this smoothly, I will definitely do anything to repay you!"
"To be a slave?" Bai Zhuwei raised an eyebrow and suddenly scoffed, "That's not necessary. After all, we have a common enemy, so we can be considered half friends."
"At crucial moments, we might need to unite against a common enemy."
When Lu Ziyi heard her suddenly say this, a hint of doubt flashed across his face, but it was only for a moment before he realized the deeper meaning in her words.
Then a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and a sinister look appeared between his brows. He replied in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let that pair of scoundrels get away with it!"
She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly realized that her feelings for Si Yanxiao were different. She stopped abruptly and quickly looked up at her.
Seeing that she showed no sign of distress, he continued, "I am now in this state entirely because of them. I will not rest until I avenge this!"
Her tone was full of hatred. Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile of triumph flashed across her lips.
Then, feigning difficulty, he said in a low voice, "But they are heavily guarded right now, there's no chance for us to make a move..."
Upon hearing this, a dark look flashed across Lu Ziyi's brow as he lowered his eyes and carefully considered the feasibility of taking action in secret.
Needless to say, Si Yanxiao and his group naturally had no opportunity to make a move.
The only potential breakthrough point is Jiang Ran and the twins, but since the series of dangerous incidents they encountered before, they have learned their lesson and never go out alone.
Seeing his hesitation and silence, Bai Zhuwei continued, "If you really want revenge, you can wait for my message. I will notify you immediately if I have any leads." "Okay!" Lu Ziyi's eyes narrowed, and he replied in a deep voice.
He knew that Bai Zhuwei meant he wanted him to be the one to take the lead, but he didn't mind at all.
After all, he now had nothing left but this broken body and his intense hatred for Si Yanxiao and Jiang Ran.
He was willing to pay any price, no matter the outcome!
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Bai Zhuwei raised an eyebrow, then spoke a few more words, and the two exchanged phone numbers.
To avoid being seen by too many people, we decided to exit through the stairwell one by one.
Bai Zhuwei watched Lu Ziyi's departing figure. As the door to the stairwell closed, her expression changed drastically, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Fortunately, he was a wise man who knew when to yield, and his painstaking efforts in planning all of this were not in vain.
However, Lu Ziyi's agreement was entirely within her expectations.
Loan sharks are ruthless and cruel, often resorting to amputation and beatings. They know very well what will happen to them if they delay repayment and their debts accumulate with interest.
Now, seeking refuge with him is his best option.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhuwei's face immediately flashed a cold smile as she lowered her eyes to look at the number she had just saved on her phone.
His gaze darkened slightly, and he murmured, "It's true what they say: 'Those who add flowers to brocade are forgotten, but those who offer charcoal in the snow are deeply appreciated...'"
There was also a hint of sarcasm in his words.
At the same time, Jiang Yuechen woke up in a daze, feeling a splitting headache. When he opened his eyes, he saw a desolate scene all around him, with moss growing on the walls and the ground in a mess.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuechen frowned slightly, shook his head vigorously, and tried to clear his mind a little. Then he heard a commotion in his ears. His hands and feet were bound, and he couldn't do anything else.
The conversation grew louder, and Jiang Yuechen quickly closed his eyes, tilted his head to the side, and pretended to be unconscious.
Then she felt the rustling footsteps stop in front of her, and heard two people talking.
"Why hasn't he woken up yet after so long?"
"Who cares?" a slightly older voice replied in a deep voice. "It's better for him to stay unconscious, so that he won't be so dramatic when he wakes up, which would be troublesome."
"All we need to do is make sure that when they arrive, the people are still alive here."
Her words were full of indifference towards Jiang Yuechen, as if he were just a commodity that only needed to be successfully delivered in the end.
As Jiang Yuechen listened to their discussion, doubts immediately arose in his heart.
Who exactly are these "them" that these two are referring to? It seems that they are the masterminds behind the final kidnapping.
He clearly remembered seeing a familiar face before he was knocked unconscious, but because he was hit on the head, he couldn't remember it at all now.
Just as he was pondering this in his heart, he heard the two of them complain a few more times in front of him, and then they turned around and left.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Jiang Yuechen slowly opened his eyes again.
Judging from their tone just now, it seemed that only the two of them were left here to guard the place, so they were indignant about it.
That means now is the perfect time for me to escape!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuechen turned his head to look at the messy ground, and saw a broken glass bottle not far away.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuechen's eyes lit up immediately. He quickly moved towards that side step by step, and after rubbing the fragments for a long time, he finally managed to pick them up. Then he began to rub the hemp rope in his hands.
A moment later, the rope snapped, and Jiang Yuechen's hands were instantly free to move. He quickly untied the rope binding his feet.
He braced himself on the ground with his palms and rolled over to his feet.
Then, I cautiously walked towards the door and peeked out through the crack. I saw one person standing guard outside and another person carrying a beer walking towards me.
"Hurry up!" the man guarding the door urged.
"What's the rush? The person inside is unconscious and perfectly fine!" The other person said indifferently, but unconsciously quickened their pace slightly.
They had been guarding this desolate place for several days without even a signal, and were already resentful, wanting to go out and relax.
But they worried that the person inside, who needed to be watched, might suddenly wake up and take the opportunity to escape.
Left with no other option, they had to leave one person at the door just in case.
Jiang Yuechen watched coldly as they approached the warehouse. Seeing that the ropes had already been cut, he realized that pretending to be unconscious again would be of no use.
He was extremely nervous and subconsciously reached into his pocket, where he found a talisman.
Jiang Yuechen vaguely recalled Jiang Ran emphasizing that this talisman could protect him for a moment.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuechen's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he gripped the talisman tightly in his hand, hoping that this time it could really solve his temporary predicament.
His gaze darkened, and he hid behind the door. As they stepped inside, he slammed the door shut and stuck the talisman on it.
Caught completely off guard, the two were slammed into the door. When they came to their senses, they tried to push it open, but it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds and had no effect whatsoever.
The two exchanged a glance, both showing shock, and then pushed hard, causing the dilapidated wooden door to collapse.
Seeing that Jiang Yuechen had already run dozens of steps ahead of them, the two men were startled and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, chase after him!"
Ignoring the pain on his face, he casually threw the beer on the ground and hurried after her.
Located in the middle of nowhere, with unknown terrain, Jiang Yuechen was completely unfamiliar with the area and dared not take the wilderness path, fearing that he would fall into their hands again.
In an emergency, after a moment's thought, I ran directly toward the road.
The people behind him were chasing closely. Jiang Yuechen hadn't eaten for several days, and his body was already weak and powerless. The fact that he was able to leave them behind was entirely due to his willpower.
Seeing a car speeding towards him on the highway, Jiang Yuechen disregarded everything else and immediately spread his arms to stop the car.
The driver slammed on the brakes, stopping just in front of him. Jiang Yuechen could no longer hold on; his vision went black, and he collapsed in front of the car.
Ji Xia was startled by the sudden braking and immediately asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
The driver also looked puzzled and hesitated before saying, "Excuse me, ma'am, someone suddenly rushed out from the side of the road just now, and it looked like they were... trying to scam me?"
