"Miss Xue." He hesitated, "May I have a moment to talk?"
Unexpectedly, after the mask was taken off, what he faced was Shen Qingtang's face full of righteousness and indignation.
He quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, Miss Shen, Jiang is abrupt…”
Seeing that Jiang Xu still dared to look for Xue Zhiyi, Shen Qingtang was furious. Just as he was about to explode, he heard a sudden commotion in the Zhuyufang.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared from some corner. They were dressed like ordinary guests, but they were all carrying swords and rushed towards one person with a clear goal.
Shen Qingtang almost fainted from fright: "Zhiyi... Zhiyi!"
A panicked passerby stumbled and bumped into her accidentally. She was already frightened and her legs were weak, and she twisted her foot. If she hadn't been supported by the maid, she would have fallen to the ground.
Such a situation made Jiang Xu's pupils tremble and his expression suddenly changed.
Chai Yue was also panicked. Xue Zhiyi and Shen Qingtang changed their clothes so suddenly that she didn't have time to explain to those people. If she caught the wrong person, how could she fulfill her father's instructions?
The guards brought by the Tang family tried to protect Xue Zhiyi, but they found that those people were all very skilled and they were no match for them at all.
Looking at these people, Xue Zhiyi gritted his teeth and held the silver fox hairpin in his hand even tighter.
She only knew that the Chai family wanted to attack Shen Qingtang, so she deliberately changed her clothes and covered herself with a mask in an attempt to confuse people, but she didn't expect them to be so bold.
But she also discovered that these people did not want to take Shen Qingtang's life at all, but wanted to capture him alive.
This way, she would have more opportunities to escape.
After one of them rushed up and twisted her wrist, she pulled the trigger without hesitation, causing the man to fall unconscious to the ground under the effect of the poison.
Turning away from this person, she looked sideways and met Chai Yue's panicked and guilty gaze.
She sneered and ran forward. Before Chai Yue could react, she grabbed her and hid behind her, letting the culprit block the knife for her.
Chai Yue was so frightened that she screamed, "Bitch! Are you crazy?"
Xue Zhiyi behind her was putting all his strength into it, wishing he could pierce through the clothes with his nails, and twisted Chai Yue's arm tightly, not giving her any chance to escape.
As the victim, Xue Zhiyi was merciful for not killing Chai Yue with a hairpin. What was wrong with scratching her while she was in chaos? It would be better if she died of pain.
Sure enough, with Chai Yue blocking the way, those people became cautious, fearing that they would hurt Chai Yue when kidnapping Xue Zhiyi.
But at this moment, Xue Zhiyi saw Jiang Xu trying to rush forward almost recklessly, pushing down a killer, a weak scholar, holding a bench tremblingly, and yelling at the top of his lungs: "Get out! Get out!"
Jiang Xu's behavior made Xue Zhiyi confused for a moment.
At this moment, the scene was in chaos, and Xue Zhiyi did not notice that someone was quietly approaching behind him.
Jiang Xu had been shoved and slashed on the shoulder during the fight. The moment his gaze met Xue Zhiyi's, his face paled, his eyes widened, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Awan!"
Before he could hear what he said, Xue Zhiyi felt someone suddenly hit his neck. Suddenly, everything went dark before his eyes...
When she fell to the ground exhausted, Chai Yue was also confused. Looking back, even the man who attacked Xue Zhiyi had disappeared in the crowd and it was difficult to find any trace of him.
She didn't remember arranging this person...
She remembered something and was about to remind them that they had kidnapped the wrong person, but those people had already picked up Xue Zhiyi and carried him around the waist on their shoulders.
Chai Yue wanted to warn them, but was afraid of exposing himself. He hesitated for only a moment, and those people thought they had succeeded. They looked at each other and prepared to leave.
Everything happened too fast. Jiang Xu ignored his injuries and tried to catch up, but he had only known how to study since he was young and could not even carry firewood, let alone catch up with those masters.
Blood flowed down his arm, boiling hot, to his palm, but he felt no pain at all, only as if his soul had been ripped out...
