Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 973 - 977: Not Daring to Act Rashly

Her spiritual power had a limited range, and if she wanted to see clearly, she had to follow along.

She glanced at Sister-in-law Lü Wan Ruhua, who was about to walk out of her sight, and her curiosity got the better of her.

She quickly got up and followed into the alley, then entered a space through a doorway, changed into an outfit she rarely wore, and applied ointment she made to her face before exiting the space.

Now, looking like this, even if she stood face to face next to Yu Liqin, she wouldn’t be noticed.

She didn’t take long to find Yu Liqin’s location and quickly followed her.

Once she slowed down, she took a breath and entered the adjacent courtyard, having already scanned it with her spiritual power to ensure it was temporarily empty.

Yu Liqin looked around for a long time, then used tweezers to extract a note from a crack in the wall outside a doorway.

Before Yunyi could see what was on the note, Yu Liqin unexpectedly stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Yunyi couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it..."

Just as she was getting angry, suddenly there were sounds of a fight in the alley, followed by the sound of footsteps in pursuit, and a shout: "Stop, or I’ll shoot!"

Yunyi used her spiritual power to look outside and saw several police officers chasing the two men she had seen earlier, running in her direction.

It seemed that someone had been watching them for a long time.

Afraid of being discovered, Yunyi quickly slipped into the space. Since someone was watching them, she thought it best not to get involved unnecessarily.

But things didn’t go as planned, and just as she was about to enter the space, she heard a scream from outside, followed by: "Come any closer, and I’ll kill her."

Outside was in chaos.

Yunyi stopped moving into the space and heard from the other side of the wall: "You go first."

"No way, we leave together."

"At a time like this, why be stubborn? If you stay, neither of us will get out."

Then she heard the person anxiously say: "With her helping me, it’s not impossible for me to escape, but if you stay, it’ll only distract me."

A familiar female voice responded: "I’ll do my best to get him to a safe place, go quickly."

The person wiped their face and said, "Stay alive."

After speaking, they recklessly ran toward the mouth of the alley.

Hearing these words, Yunyi immediately understood that Yu Liqin knew these two men from before.

Just as Yu Liqin finished speaking, several police officers began converging into the alley: "We’ve already surrounded the alleyway, you can’t escape..."

But before the police could finish shouting, the man holding Yu Liqin burst into crazed laughter: "It’s worth dying with someone accompanying me."

With that, the knife in his hand pressed inwards, directly slashing Yu Liqin’s neck.

Seeing this, the police urgently shouted: "Don’t hurt the hostage."

As they spoke, Yu Liqin screamed, "Help!"

The man showed no hint of tenderness: "Shut up, scream again and I’ll kill you."

Yu Liqin’s performance was so convincing that if not for discovering their secret, anyone would believe everything happening was real.

After a series of struggles, the police, afraid of harming the hostage, agreed to the man’s demands.

The man, holding Yu Liqin, headed toward the other end of the alley, where the police had prepared a jeep for him.

Yu Liqin struggled all the way, blood flowing from her neck onto her clothes, making the police even more hesitant to act.

The man was ruthless. Just when everyone thought he would take the hostage onto the jeep, he unexpectedly slashed Yu Liqin’s arm, pushed her away, and swiftly leaped onto a nearby wall.
