Chapter 37 A Male Beauty Who Causes Trouble... (The text abruptly ends here, likely due to an incomplete sentence or a formatting error.)
Once her entire upper body was upright, Lu Zhisheng was finally able to sit down on the ground.
Fu Yun was very satisfied with this and praised it generously: "Not bad, you succeeded on your second try."
Lu Zhisheng felt a little embarrassed by the praise, and secretly glanced at Fu Jun, but her eyes were full of joy.
Fu Yun pressed her advantage: "Now turn your back, and I'll use my teeth to bite open the ropes binding your wrists."
Lu Zhisheng was slightly taken aback, momentarily incredulous. After realizing what was happening, he shook his head frantically, seemingly very anxious.
Fu Jun didn't know whether Lu Zhisheng's shaking of his head meant he didn't believe he could bite the rope, or that he thought it was inappropriate to do so. He didn't have time to think about it, but he sternly reminded him: "While they are off guard, we must find a way to save ourselves in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, if the people who kidnapped us come in to check, it will be difficult for us to escape."
After saying that, he raised his head and gestured to Lu Zhisheng to turn his back quickly.
Seeing that Fu Yun's expression was firm and he was clearly not going to change his mind, Lu Zhisheng had no choice but to move his body and turn his back to him.
The moment Fu Yun's nose touched the rope, a pungent, musty smell assaulted his nostrils, making him feel nauseous.
I don't know what this rope is used to tie up, it smells so awful.
He turned his head and took a deep breath. After he felt a little better, he returned to the rope, held his breath, suppressed his discomfort, and began to gnaw on the knot with his teeth.
Untying the rope with your teeth was no easy task. Fu Yun's cheeks ached from biting so hard, and she only managed to loosen the knot a little bit.
Fu Jun had to temporarily leave the knot to catch his breath and get some fresh air.
He thought to himself that this wouldn't work; the rope smelled too strong, making it impossible to continuously exert force with his teeth. He had to think of another way.
He scanned the room again, his gaze finally settling on the dilapidated wall. An idea immediately formed in his mind: "Lu Zhisheng, your teeth aren't strong enough to untie the knot. Let's move to the wall together, and I'll use the wall and your arms to help me sit up."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhisheng clearly had also thought of this point and quickly nodded.
The two of them moved together toward the nearest wall, and it took them a long time to reach it.
Fu Yun leaned his back against the wall, and after Lu Zhisheng was settled, he raised his head and rested it against Lu Zhisheng's forearm, then slowly moved his shoulder up against Lu Zhisheng's arm.
Finally, with the help of the wall and Lu Zhisheng's arm, he successfully sat up from the ground.
Fu Jun's breathing was unsteady, her chest heaving as she leaned against the wall to rest.
He was already panting heavily after doing just this little bit of exercise; Su Fuyun's physique is simply too weak.
Fu Yun took a while to catch her breath before the feeling of exhaustion in her body finally eased.
He glanced at Lu Zhisheng and said in a low voice, "I loosened your knot a bit with my teeth. Now that we're back to back, I'll try to untie it with my fingers."
Lu Zhisheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately did as instructed.
The two quickly moved closer to each other's backs until they were pressed tightly together. Fu Yun gestured to Lu Zhisheng with her eyes to move his hands down a little so that her fingers could touch his wrists.
After adjusting the position five or six times, Fu Yun finally touched the knot on Lu Zhisheng's wrist.
He pursed his lips and struggled to pry at the knot with his fingertips. When he felt the rope loosening, an idea struck him, and he quickly pulled the rope in the direction of the slack.
It took Fu Yun quite a while to finally untie the ropes from Lu Zhisheng's wrists. His fingers were sore from the friction and cold sweat had broken out on his forehead.
Fu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned against the wall, chin up, exhausted, to recover her strength.
Once Lu Zhisheng felt the pressure from the ropes on her body disappear, she immediately struggled a few times, and the ropes binding her upper body fell off smoothly.
Overjoyed, he quickly removed the gag from his mouth and then swiftly untied the ropes around his waist, legs, and ankles.
After untying the ropes binding him, he hurriedly turned around to untie the ropes binding Fu Jun's back.
Fu Yun distanced herself from the wall and turned slightly to the side, making it easier for Lu Zhisheng to untie the rope.
While he was untying the ropes, Fu Jun asked, "Did you go to the Wang family yesterday? Or were you tied up and brought to this dilapidated house?"
Lu Zhisheng answered truthfully: "I went. I gave them a bucket of drinks and then wanted to leave, but their head of the family insisted that I stay for dinner. I am not used to dining with strangers, so I asked to go home. As a result, I was knocked unconscious shortly after I stepped out of the Wang family's gate. When I woke up, I was here."
Fu Jun nodded, indicating that he understood.
No wonder the head of the Wang family dared to insist that Lu Zhisheng had already left.
She had openly let Lu Zhisheng leave, but secretly had him knocked unconscious and kidnapped. She really had a clever plan.
Even if someone witnessed Lu Zhisheng being taken away, since the incident didn't happen at their Wang family's residence, as long as she denies it until the suspect is caught, the government won't be able to convict her.
[That Wang family patriarch, who forcibly took so many men as his concubines without being punished by the authorities and can still enjoy the pleasures of having multiple wives, is definitely not a simple person; he must be a very shrewd individual. Mr. Fu, you'd better be careful!]
Fu Yun, naturally not underestimating his opponent, asked again, "What does the book say about the head of the Wang family?"
The book doesn't describe the Wang family much, only mentioning it briefly in a short paragraph. It mentions that the Wang family has been in business for generations, and that their patriarch and the Su family patriarch are irreconcilable enemies.
Fu Yun asked, "What about her ending? Was it mentioned?"
Yes, the book describes how Su Fuyun deeply hated Su Tan. Knowing that the Wang family head harbored ill intentions towards him, he didn't explicitly reject her. Instead, he maneuvered between the Wang family head and General Qian, using their wealth and power to deliberately suppress and retaliate against Su Tan. Ultimately, he successfully brought Su Tan down. After Su Fuyun's incident, the Wang family head, unwilling to give up, attempted to break her out of death row, but the Empress, who had already foreseen everything, laid a trap and captured them all.
Fu Yun nodded, having figured out the point of intersection in the plot.
In other words, Su Fuyun used the kidnapping incident to her advantage, taking advantage of the Wang family head's fondness for him to make him willingly work for her.
As for Lu Zhisheng appearing here, this scene definitely wasn't in the original storyline. It can only be said that because she knew him beforehand, there was one more person being kidnapped.
It has to be said that Su Fuyun is truly a femme fatale. Not only did she harm General Qian, who was originally protecting the country, but she also dragged the head of the Wang family down with her. Not to mention, she also implicated Lu's mother, a folk doctor whom General Qian had invited to treat his injuries.
"Alright, it's all untied."
Lu Zhisheng removed the ropes from Fu Jun's body and threw him directly to the ground.
He glanced at the tightly closed wooden door and said worriedly, "Young Master Su, what should we do now? The door is locked from the outside."
Fu Jun snapped out of her chaotic thoughts and instead of answering, asked, "After you were tied up here, did anyone come in?"
Lu Zhisheng nodded: "Yes, a woman came in and delivered food twice."
Fu Yun's gaze darkened slightly: "She left after dropping off the child? Didn't she arrange for anyone to stay here?"
Lu Zhisheng shook his head, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes: "I'm not quite sure. It's possible that they don't have enough manpower and can only guard outside the gate so that they can keep an eye on the surrounding area at any time. It's also possible that they think that with the ropes tied so tightly, we have no ability to escape."
Fu Yun didn't say anything more. He walked around the woodshed and found a wooden stick that wasn't too thin.
He weighed the length and weight of the wooden stick in his hand, then walked a few steps to the wall directly opposite the wooden door, which was covered with several large cracks, and reached out to touch the edge of the cracks in the wall.
Seeing this, Lu Zhisheng followed and asked with great curiosity, "Young Master Su, what are you doing?"
Fu Yun succinctly stated: "Break through."
Lu Zhisheng was completely bewildered: "What?"
Fu Yun had no intention of explaining further and waved for Lu Zhisheng to step back.
He first poked the wall hard with a wooden stick a few times, causing dust to fall and the wall to wobble slightly in the gaps.
Just as I expected, the wall had been in disrepair for many years and was not sturdy.
He slammed his fist on the wall, and the stick left a deep dent.
However, the sound of knocking on the wall was very loud and could easily attract the attention of people outside.
Worried about drawing in the people guarding outside, Fu Yun stopped smashing the stick wildly. Instead, he took the stick and stepped back, then started running. When he was about three meters away from the wall, he planted the stick in the ground, then jumped, gripped the stick tightly with both hands, and used the force of the stick to kick the wall hard with both feet.
The wall swayed twice, appearing somewhat precarious.
Lu Zhisheng was dumbfounded. He never expected that Young Master Su would be so bold and wise as to think of using his feet to gain leverage and then break through the wall.
The sound of the kick hitting the wall was quite deep, but there was no noise.
Fu Yun took a breath, took a few steps back, and planned to try a few more times.
Before he could even jump, Lu Zhisheng grabbed his forearm.
Fu Yun turned to look at Lu Zhisheng, her eyes questioning.
Lu Zhisheng's eyes revealed worry and self-blame, and for the first time, his tone carried a hint of unquestionable authority: "You don't look well, you must be tired. Let me do it!"
Without waiting for Fu Yun's response, she snatched the wooden stick from his hand.
He imitated Fu Yun by stepping back, then started running and jumping, kicking hard against the wall.
The kick caused a small section of the wall to collapse.
Lu Zhisheng was greatly encouraged. He glanced excitedly at Fu Jun and continued the action for the second time, repeating this four or five times.
When Lu Zhisheng kicked the wall again, half of the wall collapsed.
Fu Yun said with satisfaction, "That's fine."
The two of them walked through the collapsed wall one after the other, left the woodshed, went out into the backyard, opened the door, and found that there was an alley outside.
Fu Jun quickly scanned the intersections on both sides of the alley while pressing against the wooden door. There was no one walking in the alley, and no suspicious person was found hiding in the corner.
He gently patted Lu Zhisheng on the shoulder, indicating that they could leave.
The two hurried away in the opposite direction of the dilapidated house, and soon emerged from the alley and onto a path where a few people were walking.
Judging from this, this is an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city. If we just follow the path, we should be able to get into the city.
Without taking a breath, the two quickened their pace.
On the way into the city, Fu Yun glanced at Lu Zhisheng beside her and said solemnly, "The murderer who killed your father has been found."
