Chapter 1053 - 619: Departure
Chapter 1053: Chapter 619: Departure
The rope binding her wrists was getting looser under the friction by the chair edge, and sensing it was about to snap, Luo Lian couldn’t contain her excitement.
The room was small, but fortunately the window wasn’t high. As long as she stood on the chair, she could climb up, and with her strength, it was possible to break through the rusted window bars.
Once she could escape successfully, she wouldn’t have to be afraid anymore. Whether it was the Qiao Family or the Luo Family, the China Consulate would not ignore her...
The rope finally snapped. Due to excessive force, her wrist hit the back of the chair, making Luo Lian gasp in pain. She endured it as she untied the ropes on her feet, then stretched her numb legs and quickly climbed onto the windowsill.
Outside the door, a phone suddenly rang, "Hello, Miss! Jack...is here too, okay...okay, I...we’re taking action immediately."
As the words fell, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Luo Lian was just about to kick open the window grille, but seeing the man enter, she hurriedly dove down in desperation. Perhaps not expecting her move, the man was taken aback, and Luo Lian knocked him to the ground. His head hit the floor with a "thud," and he rolled his eyes and passed out.
"Serves you right!" Luo Lian didn’t dare linger and quickly ran out. Just as she exited the compound, she saw a white man carrying beer and a big convenience bag approaching, scaring her back into hiding.
"Jenas, help me out! ... FUAK!" Accompanied by curses, the man turned into the yard. Seizing the moment while he walked inside, Luo Lian swiftly ran out of the compound.
Outside the compound was an open space with no cover, so Luo Lian had no choice but to run desperately towards the road. As long as she could hitch a ride, she would have hope for safety!
"Stop, I’m going to shoot!"
"If you keep running, I’ll shoot!"
"..."
From afar, a man’s shouting could be heard, likely the guard named Jack chasing after her.
Luo Lian kept running without looking back, accepting that it was do or die. If she truly fell into those sisters’ hands, she couldn’t even expect a quick death, so no matter the threats, she wouldn’t stop.
In that instant, she deeply regretted her stubbornness; if she had listened to Luoluo and brought bodyguards, how much better would that have been?
Her grandparents and father always doted on her, yet she could never fully integrate into that family. How long has it been since she visited her grandparents? Last time her father called, she was so impatient...
If...if she could escape successfully, she’d definitely stop being so headstrong. Surely, her mother in heaven wouldn’t want her tangled up in the past either...
"Whoosh!"
A bullet whizzed past her ear, causing a stinging pain.
Was her life really going to end here?
Given the current situation, there was no hope of stopping a car. Just now, she should’ve found a place to hide. Alas, in her haste to escape, she failed to think it through. Should’ve known, how could they not have a gun?
"Screech..."
With a piercing screech of brakes, a black SUV stopped beside her. Before she could react, a black man in the car scooped her up and pulled her inside.
"Who are you...?" Luo Lian, still in shock, looked at the three men in the car. From her intuition, these people didn’t seem to be sent by those sisters.
"Sit tight!" The black man glared at her, pulling out a gun to shoot at the tall figure chasing them. The bullet struck right between Jack’s brows, and his running body crashed down instantly.
"Were you sent by Monique?" Luo Lian frowned, not out of sympathy for the fallen Jack, but worried about escaping one trap only to fall into another.
"We’re just doing a job for money..." The black man glared at her again, "You better cooperate nicely. Do you know what would’ve happened if those people caught you?"
Luo Lian stared at him defiantly, not speaking.
"Gang rape." The black man shot her a glance, "We intercepted Lisha’s call. She just instructed Jenas to gang rape you. You should know why they want to do this, right?"
"Didn’t you say you only work for money? From your tone, why do I feel that’s not the case?" Luo Lian seemed calm, though her heart was in turmoil.
If she hadn’t escaped, if she had been caught by those two... even if she survived, how would her life go on? Lisha and Alice... just wait!
"Even when working for money, we need to know what the situation is. Don’t you get that?" The black man glanced at her again, "I haven’t even finished. After the gang rape, they were going to cut off your hands so you’d never draw again. Now, aren’t you a bit grateful to me?"
Luo Lian clenched her jaw tightly, feeling blood seep from the corner of her mouth.
The black man’s eyes softened a bit: "Whatever, it’s fine telling you. We were indeed hired by Monique. He’ll be here early tomorrow, and until then, I’m responsible for your safety."
Luo Lian hesitated, "If I offer you double the pay to take me back to China, would you be willing?"
"No." The man shook his head, "Our credibility is our lifeline. Once we take a job, we must uphold our principles, even at the cost of our lives!"
"Alright." Luo Lian replied blandly, saying no more.
This kind of organization is quite common abroad; indeed, reputation is fundamental to their survival. Otherwise, who would dare to seek their services next time?
Don’t even mention double; even triple or quintuple, he wouldn’t agree to her terms.
However, if she falls into Monique’s hands, she will only become his dependent for life.
It seems Monique has long been aware of Lisha’s and Alice’s plans and remained inactive, waiting for today to reap the benefits.
The man who claims to love her dearly uses this method to love her—it’s so ridiculous!
At that moment, she thought of Feng Tianzhi, the man crazily in love with Luoluo, who never treated Luoluo like this.
The men who love Luoluo are all gentlemen, yet those who love her are all scoundrels. Her lips curled into a bitter smile, or could this be fate?
Only Zhan Ping still counts as a gentleman, but there’s always something missing between them. Will she ever have the chance to meet her true love in this life?
Luo Lian’s face fluctuated with uncertainty, causing the black man to mistakenly believe she worried about her own safety, so he said, "Don’t worry. As long as I live, I will keep you safe."
"At this point, still thinking about these things is like wishing for a long life!" Luo Lian shook her head and forced a slight smile, "I know, thank you!"
No matter what, she had to reassure the other party and wait for the right opportunity to make plans.
...
Looking at Ye Xuan sitting opposite him, Lei Dawei felt a pounding headache. This guy is such a troublemaker, why does he act so impulsively?
"Ye, you know what the situation is. If the mission lasts too long, you’ll be wasting the foundation you built in Si Men City... Have you made up your mind?"
"I’ve made up my mind...," Ye Xuan’s eyes dimmed, "Without Ye’er, what’s the point of having everything else?"
Lei Dawei tapped his finger on the table: "Ye Family, you don’t plan to care about them?"
"Of course I do, but my way of doing things needs to change. Director Lei, can you give me a straightforward answer, yes or no?" Ye Xuan said as he stood up, "Ye’er’s plane is about to take off, I must hurry."
To think that even the ordinarily calm Ye Xuan could be like this one day, Lei Dawei chuckled as he looked at him: "What if I say no?"
"Then I’ll have to return to my previous identity..." Ye Xuan gave a bitter smile, "As for what I’ll face when I return, I’m prepared."
"You!" Lei Dawei pointed at him, "It’s our fault for spoiling you. To be honest, Jiang Zheng has already pleaded on your behalf..." He said while taking documents from the drawer and handing them over, "Take it, but you can only participate as a regular team member."
"Thank you Director Lei, I’ll thank Captain Jiang when I get back." As the words fell, only a cool breeze remained by the table.
Lei Dawei shook his head helplessly: "Ah, the youth!" After thinking for a moment, he dialed the Old Master Ye’s phone number, exchanged a few pleasantries, and directly delved into the topic, revealing Ye Xuan’s actions.
Old Master Ye pondered for a moment before laughing lightly: "All this time, my father has always favored Xiao Xuan but still worried that he’s too calm, lacking the impulse his age should have. Now, he can rest assured. I’ll call him right away."
"Uh..." Lei Dawei put the phone down, speechless. Fine, call it speaking out of turn or overthinking. This family is becoming more aligned with the Feng Family; it’s unclear whether it’s good or bad...
...
Watching the tall figure walking ahead, Luoluo felt helpless, never expecting that just before boarding, the Handsome Ye would come to join the commotion.
After everyone was seated, Feng Tianzhi, as the captain, clapped his hands: "This time, it’s the Fierce Tiger Team’s first major mission. Everyone must be on high alert."
Now, everyone should do something important..." He paused and cleared his throat, "This important task is to write a will. Once you’re done, submit them to me. After we get off the plane, I’ll store them safely."
This was previously mentioned during training, so naturally, everyone had no objections. For a time, in the cabin, there was no sound other than the scribbling of pens on paper.
Feng Tianzhi kept an eye on Ye Xuan and, seeing his pen stop, teasingly said: "Boss Ye, you’ve done this more than once before. Want to read your version to everyone as a template?"
Ye Xuan glanced at him coolly: "If even this requires a template, are you worthy of being called Fierce Tiger?"
"As the boss, you’re really unqualified. What’s wrong with providing a template? Forget it, I’ll use mine then." Feng Tianzhi said as he took a letter from his pocket and unfolded it.
Before Feng Tianzhi could open his mouth, Ye Xuan curled his lips: "Are you going to take this opportunity to confess to Ye’er? I say, can you not give people a hard time?"
"Pfft!" Mou Qiu sprayed.
Everyone in the cabin held back their laughter, faces flushed red, while Luo Ye gave Ye Xuan an exasperated look, moving her lips but not uttering a word.
Darn it, two madmen showed up at once; she felt like going crazy!
