Chapter 252 Song Jiyun is kidnapped
Song Jiyun's eyes were bloodshot, filled with murderous intent.
Her fingertips, pale and bluish, trembled as she slowly reached towards Xiao Pangxi's soft neck.
With just a little force.
This child will disappear from the world completely.
Meng Shilan's beloved child, Zhou Congxian's own flesh and blood, will all be reduced to nothing!
She'll make them suffer terribly!
"Clang—!"
A piercing, sharp sound, accompanied by the crackling of wood chips, suddenly rang out from the roof of the vehicle!
A blood-stained long knife pierced straight down from the roof of the car!
The blade was icy cold, carrying an incomparably sharp killing intent, and it barely grazed her arm.
"ah!"
Song Jiyun screamed in pain and abruptly pulled her hand back.
A bloody gash instantly gushed from her elbow, staining her sleeve crimson.
She looked up in horror.
Through the narrow slit cleaved by the blade, she saw He Ran dodge the masked leader's fatal blow at an incredible angle, his long whip coiling around the leader's neck like a venomous snake.
Then, with a sudden twist!
"Bang bang."
A crisp sound of bone cracking.
Song Jiyun's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.
At the same time, even more intense sounds of fighting came from outside the carriage, and the sound of horses' hooves grew louder as they approached.
He Ran's reinforcements have arrived!
The thought exploded in Song Jiyun's mind like a thunderclap.
All the resentment and madness were replaced by cold fear at this moment.
She can't get caught!
Absolutely not!
In a flash, an even more ruthless thought came to mind.
A resolute glint flashed in Song Jiyun's eyes. She quickly pulled out a secret slip from her bosom. This was a secret slip that Bucha had given her, and she hadn't thrown it away. In a critical moment, this would be her life-saving bargaining chip.
Without even looking at the contents, she quickly tore it in half.
Halfway through, she quickly stuffed her uninjured hand into the lining of the brocade cushion beneath her.
With the other half, she glanced at the still unconscious child in her arms, and then took out a small paper packet from a hidden pocket in her sleeve.
She mixed the powder from the paper packet with the half-sheet of letter, stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation, and swallowed it forcefully!
She's going to take a gamble!
Even if Meng Shilan is incredibly smart, he couldn't have foreseen this!
Song Jiyun was not only not the mastermind, but also a victim!
Even if Meng Shilan doesn't believe it, that half of the secret letter is her trump card to turn the tables!
...
On the roof of the carriage, He Ran kicked the masked leader's corpse off the carriage.
She was panting heavily, covered in blood, and swaying precariously.
She could feel her strength rapidly draining away, but her strong will sustained her, allowing her to flip off the roof of the car and off the driver's seat.
She gritted her teeth, pulled hard on the reins, and forced the wildly moving carriage to a stop.
With her last ounce of strength, she turned around and yanked open the carriage curtain.
Fatty Xi lay peacefully to the side, breathing steadily.
On the other side, Song Jiyun also collapsed in a pool of blood, his arm covered in gruesome wounds, his eyes closed, unconscious.
What's going on?
He Ran didn't have time to think it through.
She bent down and carefully lifted the little chubby boy out.
Only when the child's soft body pressed against his chest did He Ran's extremely tense nerves finally relax a little.
"Whoosh—"
The rapid sound of hooves grew louder as Meng Shilan rode her swift horse, charging towards them like a madman.
She didn't even wait for the horse to come to a complete stop before she dismounted. In her haste, she stumbled and nearly fell.
"Fat Joy!"
When Meng Shilan received her son, whom she had lost and then found again, she hugged him tightly, as if the fear and despair she had felt had finally receded like the tide.
A hot tear fell onto Xiao Pangxi's face.
She didn't wail loudly, but just shed tears silently.
His body trembled violently, as if he wanted to cry out all the fear he had accumulated in his life.
Seeing this, He Ran finally managed a smile on his pale face.
She opened her mouth.
"The child is safe and sound..."
Before she could finish speaking, everything went black before her eyes, and she could no longer hold on, falling straight backward.
"He Ran!"
...
I don't know how much time passed.
In a blinding flash of light, Song Jiyun slowly opened his eyes.
She felt sore all over, especially the wound on her arm, which burned painfully.
Where is this?
The room was simply furnished, with only a hard bed and a table with peeling paint.
Sunlight streamed in through a small window, illuminating the dust particles in the air.
She tried to move, but found that her hands and feet were tightly bound with thick hemp rope, and she couldn't move at all.
A nameless fear slowly crept into her heart.
wrong.
Why is she tied up here?
Could it be that... the half of the secret letter she left behind didn't work?
In her state of utter confusion, she peeked through the slightly ajar door.
The figures at the door were clearly the gang of thugs she had hired at great expense, judging from their builds and clothing!
How did they get here?
Didn't Meng Shilan kill them all?
Or were they arrested like me?
No, that's not right! They weren't tied up; they were just sitting there lazily guarding the gate!
An absurd and terrifying thought arose in Song Jiyun's mind.
No! Impossible!
These people could never be Meng Shilan's people. She knows Meng Shilan and would never use her own child as bait.
All the possibilities swirled in her mind.
The leader who had been in contact with him was dead.
So the remaining people tied her up because they were afraid they wouldn't get the money.
"idiot!"
She mustered her strength and shouted angrily at the door.
"A bunch of useless bastards! Untie me right now!"
Her voice was hoarse from weakness, but her arrogant and domineering manner remained undiminished.
The people outside the door heard the sound, but only glanced at her lazily, none of them getting up.
Song Jiyun was so angry that he trembled all over.
"You've gone too far! Do you still want the final payment? Believe me, I'll make sure you don't get a single penny, and you won't be able to stay in Beijing any longer!"
She was shouting and cursing fiercely, trying to regain control of the situation.
The light at the doorway was suddenly blocked by a figure.
With a creak.
The door was pushed open.
Song Jiyun's cursing came to an abrupt halt.
The room fell silent instantly.
She stared blankly at the doorway.
The few desperados who had been sitting behind them stood up and stood respectfully to the side with their hands at their sides.
Only then did she realize that those men were not desperate criminals at all.
Meng Shilan, dressed in plain clothes, stood there quietly, her face expressionless.
Her eyes were as calm as a bottomless, icy pool.
At this moment, Song Jiyun's heart seemed to be seen through by those eyes.
All her pretense and scheming seemed like a joke in the face of those eyes.
"Meng, Meng Shilan..."
She opened her mouth, and for the first time, she felt a deep-seated fear.
