Chapter 142 Self-rescue
Seeing that Chen Taorui's patience was running out bit by bit, Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't think of a way to escape for a moment.
Seeing that the threat was useless, Chen Taorui used force with his men, and the sound of clothes tearing was heard again. Mu Xiaoqiao's upper body was left with only her underwear covering her important parts, revealing her slender waist.
"Stop it!" Ling Xiao roared again. He struggled violently and his wrist was bleeding.
Lu Qiong's eyes flickered, and she asked faintly, "Do you care about her that much?"
"She is my friend. If it were you, it would be the same." Ling Xiao said without hesitation.
Lu Qiong was stunned for a moment, a mocking smile appeared on her lips, and she whispered: "You still consider me a friend?"
However, Ling Xiao's attention was focused on Mu Xiaoqiao at the moment. He couldn't see the situation in the dim light clearly under the strong light, so he just asked anxiously: "Mu Xiaoqiao, how are you?"
Mu Xiaoqiao was quick-witted at this moment. Seeing that Chen Taorui was about to tear her clothes off again, she lowered her voice and said, "I'll tell you the secret of the Dragon Chart."
Chen Taorui paused, his eyes full of distrust, "What did you say?"
Mu Xiaoqiao glanced at the people around him, including Ling Xiao and Lu Qiong, and said, "I know you heard it. Do you want me to say it in front of so many people?"
Chen Taorui naturally couldn't let others know this secret. This was something that the Chen family had been investigating for generations. The old man had warned them not to leak it out. The Dragon Soaring Diagram, passed down from the Chen family's ancestors, contained a major secret, and the descendants of the Chen family must find it out and, if necessary, take the Dragon Soaring Diagram away for the Chen family's use.
This is also the reason why Chen Taorui has always been against Mu Xiaoqiao but dared not really hurt her, because this secret must be obtained from the descendants of the Mu family.
"Okay, I'll trust you this time. If you dare to play tricks on me, you must be aware of the consequences." Chen Taorui's eyes were full of sinisterness.
Mu Xiaoqiao raised his bound hands and said, "I'm already in this state, how can I play tricks on you?"
Chen Taorui stood up, dragged Mu Xiaoqiao up from the ground, and said to the others, "Keep an eye on that man. Don't leave without my order."
After saying that, he dragged Mu Xiaoqiao out of the room.
This is a small detached building by the sea. As soon as Mu Xiaoqiao went out, she smelled the sea. The sea breeze blew on her face, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks came over. It was strange, she didn't hear any sound of waves in the house just now. Could it be that this house has some special structure to soundproof?
But it was extremely dark outside at the moment, with only faint starlight and not even the moon. Mu Xiaoqiao looked back and saw only a mass of darkness.
This seemed to be the second floor. There was a creaking sound when stepping on it. It must be made of wood. After Chen Taorui pulled her out, he closed the door, immediately blocking out all the light and sound in the room.
Mu Xiaoqiao shivered. The sea breeze at night was still very chilly. At the moment, she was only wearing underwear and pants, with her slender waist exposed. When the wind blew, her whole body felt cold.
Chen Taorui didn't care whether she was cold or not. He pulled the rope on her hand and pulled her five or six steps away from the wooden house. He said coldly, "Go ahead."
Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't see his expression in the dark, so she asked, "Can you tell me first why you know there is a secret in the Dragon Chart?"
As she spoke, she groped with her bound hands. The railing behind her was not very high, so it would not be difficult to climb over. She just didn't know how high it was from the ground. Judging from the sound of the waves, it shouldn't be very high either. If she jumped down, what would be her chances of escaping...
"You don't need to know this. You are only qualified to answer questions now."
"Since you know that there is a secret in the Dragon Chart, you should also know that this is a secret that our Mu family has guarded for generations. If I tell you, I will be betraying my ancestors, and I will not be able to face them in the underworld. You should let me know how you knew the secret of our Mu family? So that I can give an explanation to my ancestors."
Taking out a thin blade from her trouser pocket, Mu Xiaoqiao delayed time while gently cutting the rope on her wrist with her backhand without leaving any trace. Ever since she was reborn, she has been carrying this blade as thin as a cicada's wing with her.
"You talk too much nonsense. Are you trying to delay time? I'll count to three. If you don't say anything, I'll cut off the hand of the person inside first."
Chen Taorui sensed Mu Xiaoqiao's intention, and his voice was chilling, "Three!"
Mu Xiaoqiao quickened his hand movements.
"two!"
The rope was about to break, and the blade Mu Xiaoqiao prepared was very sharp.
"one!"
"Okay, let me tell you. Actually, the secret of the Dragon Chart is..."
Chen Taorui couldn't help but move closer to her. He was eager to know this secret. If he knew it today, his father would never dare to look down on him again. Moreover, if this secret could bring huge benefits, he would be the first to benefit.
"The secret is..."
Mu Xiaoqiao loosened her hands, and without hesitation, she raised the blade and swung it towards Chen Taorui's throat.
Chen Taorui was also very alert. He was listening with his ear tilted. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately turned his head. The blade passed by his left ear and immediately cut off half of his ear.
A scream broke the sky!
No matter how soundproofed the room was, Chen Taorui's scream was too sharp for someone to quickly open the door and rush out.
Mu Xiaoqiao didn't have time to finish off the enemy. With the light from the open door, she saw that the ground behind her was not very high and there was a beach right below her.
Seeing several men rushing out, Mu Xiaoqiao knew that he was no match for them. Thinking that Lu Qiong would protect Ling Xiao and that he should be safe for the time being, he turned around and jumped down without hesitation.
One person stepped forward to help Chen Taorui up, and the other four or five people jumped down to chase Mu Xiaoqiao. Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't tell the direction, so he could only run forward at random. The sound of people chasing behind was getting closer and closer.
In the darkness, Mu Xiaoqiao heard her breathing becoming increasingly heavy. Running on the beach was so tiring that she had almost used up all the air in her lungs. She opened her mouth wide to breathe, like a fish out of water.
Just when she was almost exhausted from running, several lights appeared in front of her. Someone was driving over, and the headlights shone on several people, making it so bright that they couldn't open their eyes.
Mu Xiaoqiao covered her eyes with her hands. The car stopped in front of her. She heard someone quickly open the door and get out. Then she felt warm and someone wrapped her in clothes.
When I turned around, I met a pair of anxious and worried eyes.
The person she was waiting for finally arrived.
I heard a lot of people getting off the bus nearby, and someone was shouting, "Drop your weapons, surrender."
Mu Xiaoqiao hid in the warm and familiar embrace, closed her eyes, and her heart finally calmed down.
Ruan Haoyu hugged her and asked repeatedly: "Amu, how are you? Are you injured? Where does it hurt?"
