Liang Shaozun frowned as he looked at Xu Zhuohua, his smile chilling. "Mu Yun really tells you everything, huh?"
Xu Zhuohua shook her head. "This is something I guessed myself."
"It's not good for a woman to be too smart."
Before Xu Zhuohua could react, Liang Shaozun shoved her face away and then tore open her collar.
The poor school uniform, it's still brand new, and now it's unwearable.
Wait a minute, Xu Zhuohua realized she shouldn't feel sorry for the school uniform, but rather that she should be more considerate of herself.
The buttons on his collar popped open, revealing a patch of fair skin, and Liang Shaozun's eyes gleamed.
Xu Zhuohua shuddered as she recalled Liang Shaozun's torment of Chen Hede's sister.
"You are such a beauty. No wonder Mu Yun seemed like a different person after returning to Dongzhou. He neglected Miss Luo and insisted on marrying you."
Just as his hand was about to slip inside his collar, Xu Zhuohua suddenly shouted, "Hey! If you touch me, aren't you afraid Cheng Muyun will come after you?"
Liang Shaozun froze, but stubbornly said, "He doesn't know that I kidnapped you. Besides, I killed his respected elder brother. Doesn't the Cheng family still have to grovel before our Liang family? So what if we touch you?"
Xu Zhuohua frowned deeply. Cheng Muchuan was indeed killed by Liang Shaozun. Once Cheng Muyun found out, he would definitely not let Liang Shaozun go.
Then... Cheng Muyun won't know about this.
If she knew the truth but wouldn't hide it from Cheng Muyun, wouldn't that mean she would die?
The dead are the most secretive. Liang Shaozun told himself this, he never intended for her to live!
Oh my god, am I really going to become cannon fodder?
Xu Zhuohua said, "I'll go and persuade Cheng Muyun for you. Please don't touch me."
Liang Shaozun withdrew his hand. "Alright, go ahead, but..."
Xu Zhuohua's hands were tied behind his back, and three grenades were tied to his back as well. The three fuses were tied to a rope that was only two meters long.
Liang Shaozun instructed Xu Zhuohua to persuade Cheng Muyun from the second-floor balcony, while a missionary held the rope connecting the fuse. If Xu Zhuohua said anything wrong, the fuse would be pulled immediately.
Xu Zhuohua felt that even if she managed to persuade Cheng Muyun to leave, she wouldn't be able to escape herself.
But there's nothing we can do now.
The French missionary pushed Xu Zhuohua out from the second floor.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Muyun, who was in a standoff, stiffened. Although he did not sit up immediately, he suddenly put down his crossed legs, causing Chen Hede to follow his gaze to Xu Zhuohua on the second floor.
Xu Zhuohua's mind was preoccupied with how to survive. The moment she saw Cheng Muyun, her legs went weak. She was supported by the French missionary and pushed against the railing, where she bumped her lower abdomen.
Cheng Muyun turned to look at Chen Hede and asked incredulously, "Didn't you keep someone in the yard?"
Chen Hede didn't know what was going on either. "I left quite a few people behind, how could this be?"
Cheng Muyun stood up and was about to walk into the church when the priest stopped him, saying, "You can't go in!"
“What do you mean? You kidnapped our people!” Chen Hede stepped forward to argue.
The priest remained silent, saying, "You can't go in!"
The French missionary nudged Xu Zhuohua, who forced back her tears and cried out, "Cheng Muyun, take him away, otherwise they won't let me go."
Cheng Muyun's hands trembled as he gripped the priest's collar tightly.
The missionary turned Xu Zhuohua's body over so that Cheng Muyun could see the grenade strapped to Xu Zhuohua's back.
Cheng Muyun abruptly released his hands, while the priest smiled and took a step back, extending a hand, "Please go back, we can let bygones be bygones today."
Cheng Muyun knew they were stalling for time, but Xu Zhuohua was strapped with a bomb. If these Frenchmen were to go crazy and detonate the bomb, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But if we leave today, the warehouse will be emptied, and the trail will be lost.
Cheng Muyun looked at the people beside him. Chen Hede also frowned. Although he wanted to take revenge as soon as possible, if it meant risking Xu Zhuohua's life, he would rather retreat today and take revenge later.
The two nodded and stepped back simultaneously.
Xu Zhuohua understood what the two men were thinking, but she knew that Liang Shaozun would never let her go. It would be better to let them attack her head-on, at least that way there would be a chance of survival.
Xu Zhuohua shouted, "Please, Chen Hede, please take Cheng Muyun away! I will definitely thank you and invite you to the theater to hear Mr. Mei sing 'Green Pearl Falls from the Building'!"
Chen Hede stopped and grabbed Cheng Muyun, who was about to turn around.
Cheng Muyun asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Chen Hede looked at Xu Zhuohua with a questioning look in his eyes. Xu Zhuohua bit her lip and nodded emphatically.
Cheng Muyun grabbed Chen Hede's wrist. "What did Zhuohua mean by that?"
Chen Hede stared blankly at Xu Zhuohua, “During the Western Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong’s beloved concubine, Lü Zhu, committed suicide by jumping off a building because Shi Chong offended powerful officials and they made trouble for him.”
Xu Zhuohua knew that Chen Hede loved listening to opera, so she used the story of "Green Pearl Falling from the Building" to imply to Chen Hede that she would jump off a building to commit suicide so as not to drag Cheng Muyun down.
Cheng Muyun frowned and looked at Xu Zhuohua. The person upstairs nodded slightly, his frown indicating that someone was behind her.
Xu Zhuohua said, "I wonder if Mr. Mei can sing the Qiong opera 'Wu Han's Three Kills'. I really like Xiahou Dun, but I dislike him a bit today."
The French missionary standing nearby completely failed to understand Xu Zhuohua's hints.
"The Three Killings of Wu Han" tells the story of the eldest of the three Wu brothers being killed by Xiahou Dun, and then the two brothers working together to defeat Xiahou Dun.
This means that Cheng Muyun and Chen Hede are tasked with defeating Xiahou Dun, who is behind them.
