Chapter 203 Rescued
Fang Luxue's face was ashen, her hand still frozen in mid-air.
She had wanted Wan Qiqi dead before, but not now.
But the person slipped from her grasp, vanished from her sight, and fell off the cliff.
The feeling of weightlessness made Wan Qiqi's scalp tingle.
She closed her eyes tightly, unwilling to accept her fate.
She didn't want to die, at least not in such a miserable way!
Suddenly, she bumped into a hard stone wall from behind.
She could even feel the stones tearing through her clothes and piercing her skin.
But... this doesn't look like falling off a cliff.
Wan Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes and found herself hanging on a cliff, with dozens of meters below her feet and loose rocks. She hadn't fallen!
Who saved me?
She had a hope in her heart, but she wasn't sure, afraid that it wasn't him.
"Wife, hold on, I'll pull you up right away!"
Wan Qiqi looked up.
Bright red blood flowed down the rope, almost staining the rope binding her bright red.
Chen Yongnian held the rope with one hand and gripped the protruding stone tightly with the other.
Like the rope, the stone was also stained red.
He clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, as if he wanted to burst through his skin to gain freedom.
Wan Qiqi was taken aback.
She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Chen Yongnian has really come!
They've come to my rescue!
However, given the current situation, it's clear that two people can't climb up together; they'll just be hanging there.
If Chen Yongnian loses his strength, both of them will fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.
If that's the case, what will happen to Pingping and An'an?
Unbeknownst to her, she had long since come to regard herself as the real Wan Qiqi and the original owner's family as her own.
Chen Yongnian cannot die, and neither can I!
Wan Qiqi looked up, her gaze resolute, and said, "Husband, call for help. Anyone will do. I'll find a way to persuade them to pull us up!"
Although Chen Yongnian didn't know what Wan Qiqi's methods were, he trusted her and cried out, "Help...help..."
The conversation abruptly stopped after a face appeared.
On the other side, Xue Jiang looked at the house reduced to ashes by the raging fire and turned his face away.
"Magistrate Fang, there are many ways to eliminate mountain bandits, why choose this method?"
Fang Ziming watched the people on the observation platform disappear, his expression slightly somber. "Instructor Xue thinks it's cruel?"
He turned his head and stared at Instructor Xue, giving a cold smile. "Hundreds of lives were lost in the town of Shui, all perished in a fire caused by bandits. Do you think they weren't cruel?"
As he spoke, he said with some indignation, "Why should we leave any room for maneuver when dealing with such ruthless people?"
Xue Jiang did not respond.
At this moment, Su Jie suddenly appeared.
He bowed to the crowd, "Su Jie greets all the officials! Greetings to my father!"
Su Jinyao waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite. "Why are you here? Did you ask me to rest?"
Su Jie nodded and said respectfully, "I heard that someone was rescued, so I came to see if there's anything I can do to help."
“Since you understand the structure, why don’t you tell everyone where these bandits would run if they wanted to escape?”
Su Jie shook his head, "I don't know. The reason I and the kidnapped people were able to escape was entirely thanks to a woman named 'Wan Qiqi'..."
His words, spoken casually, were clearly heard by everyone present.
If credit is reported later and someone fails to report this, they will inevitably be held accountable by their superiors.
Su Jinyao was curious about who Wan Qiqi was, that her usually aloof son could speak up for her.
Fang Ziming felt a pang of envy upon hearing this.
Su Jie was among the kidnappers, and even after being rescued, he remained calm and composed, refusing to take credit for his actions.
I wish my children could be like that!
Unfortunately, the son was good-for-nothing; he couldn't do anything and just took his sister out to play all day.
Thinking of this, Fang Ziming felt a pang of sadness.
I wonder how my daughter is doing!
Fang Luxue turned pale when she saw the tiger coming down the mountain!
He collapsed to the ground, his legs trembling, and he didn't even have the courage to stand up.
Wan Qiqi never expected that the person who pulled her and Chen Yongnian up in the end would be Xia Shan Hu!
In this situation, his best option would be to strike Chen Yongnian, causing both of them to fall off the cliff, thus eliminating any worries about the future.
But he didn't do that.
Wan Qiqi looked at Xia Shanhu with curiosity, unable to figure out what kind of person he was.
Keeping wolves to harm people is the act of evil people.
But he released the wolves only to those who invaded and attacked his stronghold.
From Xia Shan Hu's perspective, he wasn't actually wrong.
The person who set fire to the town was not him, but Chen Mazi.
The tiger descending the mountain dragged the man up, immediately ordered his men to capture Chen Yongnian, coldly stared at Wan Qiqi, pointed at the burning village, and shouted sharply, "Are you satisfied now?"
In any case, it was impossible for the soldiers to reach the mountain gate so quickly. He only realized this when he went to the house where everyone was resting.
He never imagined that the water he drank every day had been poisoned, and many of his brothers who were unconscious were unable to escape and were burned to death!
Tiger, grabbing Wan Qiqi by the collar, gritted his teeth and said, "We've done all sorts of bad things, but dare you say you've never done anything wrong?"
He dragged Wan Qiqi forward, not caring whether she followed or not. "There, my brothers, because you drugged them and put them to sleep, they couldn't escape and were all burned to death! Do you know that?!"
Wan Qiqi was practically dragged along by the tiger coming down the mountain.
Then, she was slammed to the ground.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that the tiger descending the mountain didn't really want to save her; he just didn't want her to die so easily.
