Chapter 477 He's Here, Rescuing Xiaoxue
Tao Xiangjun clutched his chest, panting heavily, and said, "For so many years, I, Tao Xiangjun, have kept my promise and never revealed a word about that matter. Why did Second Aunt want to kill me? Call her here, I want to see her!"
"No need," Qianliu said calmly. "My second aunt said that only the dead can keep secrets forever. She regrets being soft-hearted back then."
Tao Xiangjun was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly: "She really said that?"
"You talk too much!" Qianliu flipped his wrist and produced another small knife from somewhere.
Tao Xiangjun moved back in fear, pleading, "We're both working for the Wen family, aren't you afraid of ending up like me?!"
The streams remained unmoved, steadily closing in.
When Tao Xiangjun saw that he couldn't persuade her, he suddenly took out a card from his pocket and handed it over, pleading, "There's 50,000 yuan in this card. Please... as long as you let me go, I promise to take my daughter and leave Kyoto forever, never to come back, and no one will know what happened tonight."
Qianliu took the card, tossed it aside disdainfully, and with a flick of his wrist, shot the knife straight at Tao Xiangjun's throat.
Faced with danger, Tao Xiangjun's strong will to survive erupted. His body reacted faster than his brain, and he instinctively rolled to the side, dodging Qianliu's attack once again!
"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death!" Tao Xiangjun, his blood boiling, jumped up from the ground, lunged forward, grabbed Qianliu around the waist, and dragged him toward the fertilizer pit.
The pool was filled with various chemical fertilizers, which were extremely corrosive. For his daughter's sake, he was determined to perish together with Qianliu.
Unfortunately, Qianliu was in his prime, and his skills and strength far surpassed his. After being pulled a few steps away, he regained his footing.
He grabbed Tao Xiangjun's wrists with both hands, and somehow, with a twist, he broke free from Tao Xiangjun's grasp like a fish.
Then, with a flying kick, Tao Xiangjun fell straight into the fertilizer tank.
Tao Xiangjun's eyes widened, his hair stood on end, and a strong sense of resentment welled up in his heart.
On what grounds?
Why should my life be less important than those of powerful and wealthy families?
And what about Xiaoxue, his daughter? He's dead. What will happen to Xiaoxue?
Will they let her go?!
That's it, it's all his fault that he ruined his daughter.
Tao Xiangjun closed his eyes, his whole body filled with regret and despair.
However, the expected pain did not come.
Suddenly, a force supported his body as he fell backward.
He steadied himself, opened his eyes abruptly, and saw a figure sweep past him, engaging in a fierce battle with Qianliu!
It all happened so fast that it felt unreal to him.
He looked closely and finally saw clearly that the person fighting with Qianliu was the man he had just seen at the clinic!
Just then, someone patted him on the shoulder.
He was startled and turned around, only to see Kong Wange's bright, sparkling eyes.
His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, but Kong Wange pulled him back: "Be careful, there's a fertilizer pool behind you."
Tao Xiangjun suddenly realized what was happening and quickly took two steps forward, glaring at Kong Wange: "You, what are you doing here?"
"Never mind that, let's go save Xiaoxue first," Kong Wange said in a deep voice.
Tao Xiangjun suddenly realized what was happening and slapped his forehead: "Xiaoxue, that's right, we have to save Xiaoxue!"
"I guess he's locked Xiaoxue in the back warehouse. Let's go check it out."
Tao Xiangjun, as if grasping at a lifeline, nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, let's go now!"
Qianliu and Yan Su were locked in combat. When he saw Tao Xiangjun about to leave, he instinctively tried to rush over to stop him. However, Yan Su was no ordinary person and managed to keep him completely entangled.
Seeing that the person had run away with Kong Wange's help, Qianliu also became ruthless, showing no mercy in his attacks. For a time, the two were evenly matched.
...
The warehouse wasn't far away. Kong Wange and Tao Xiangjun saw Xiaoxue tied up through the window. Fortunately, she seemed to have just fainted and was alright.
Unfortunately, there was still someone guarding the door.
Kong Wange whispered, "I'll lure them away, and you can go in and rescue them..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tao Xiangjun shouted and rushed out, quickly subduing the guards.
Kong Wange: "..."
Tao Xiangjun turned around and waved to her, indicating that she could come out. Then, he said to her, "Although I am old and can't beat a master like Qianliu, I can still deal with small fry like this."
Through the conversation between Qianliu and Tao Xiangjun, Kong Wange also realized that Tao Xiangjun was no ordinary person and was probably a big shot in the underworld.
She nodded and calmly asked, "Can you drive?"
Tao Xiangjun was puzzled and simply replied, "Yes."
Kong Wange handed him the car keys: "We'll park our car a kilometer away. Take Xiaoxue and get in the car. Don't linger. Keep driving south until you see a small courtyard with the words 'Peony Residence' written on it. Go there and wait for us."
"I've driven the car away, so what about you guys..."
Kong Wange said calmly, "Don't worry about us, we have a way to get away."
Hearing this, Tao Xiangjun stopped refusing and nodded earnestly, "I understand."
He then went inside, carried Xiaoxue out, and as he passed Kong Wange, he whispered, "Miss Kong, thank you. Once this is over, I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
Kong Wange looked at him with bright eyes: "That would be perfect."
She watched Tao Xiangjun leave with Xiaoxue, and was about to go and meet up with Yan Su when suddenly another person walked out from around the corner in the distance, asking while fastening his belt, "Who's there?"
Kong Wange was startled and turned to run into the pile of fertilizer.
The man quickly chased after him.
When Kong Wange arrived, she had memorized most of the road conditions around the fertilizer factory, and now she deliberately chose to take detours on the difficult roads.
After circling around for a while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard no more sound behind her.
Unexpectedly, the next second, she turned out of a pile of fertilizer and found herself face to face with the guard!
Kong Wange had no idea how this person had gotten here. Startled, she instinctively turned and ran.
Who would have thought that turning around would lead to bumping straight into a hard chest.
The familiar, crisp scent emanating from the man made her look up abruptly, only to be met with Murong Ting's angry yet tense gaze.
She was stunned: "You...you were so fast?"
Murong Ting raised his eyes and said, "Men can be quick in some situations."
Just then, the guard behind him rushed over and threw a punch.
Murong Ting's eyes narrowed, and he spun around with Kong Wange in his arms, casually blocking the guards who were forced back several steps.
He set her aside: "Wait here, don't move."
He then strode forward.
Although Kong Wange appeared calm on the surface, she was constantly on edge inside.
Only when he saw Murong Ting did he truly feel relieved.
It's as if as long as he's by your side, all troubles can be easily solved.
