They also had doubts. What if what Chen Qudong said was true, wouldn’t their lives be in danger
But the current situation is no joke...
"Miss?" The bodyguard's tone was obviously weaker.
Liang Ruoyi remained silent.
What does this mean
While they were confused, they didn't know that a figure had sneaked into the building.
Zheng Yan was agile and had not stopped training in the past two years. He had already rushed to the second floor when a figure flashed by. He expected that the fire on the opposite side would attract attention from this side, and maybe someone would not be able to hold back and take action, which would increase the chance of taking Lin Qing away.
Ultimately, he was reckless.
The bodyguards on the ninth floor were uneasy and stood at the door, not knowing what to do, but Liang Ruoyi inside the room remained silent.
In the next room, the man with a pierced hand endured the severe pain and stood up. Seeing the fire across the street burning more and more fiercely in the howling wind, he dragged Lin Qing's slender arm back into the room. The door to the balcony was slammed shut, and the already worn door frame shook, with a tendency to break.
The man stretched out his injured hand tremblingly and pulled the curtains tightly, so that the situation inside the house could no longer be seen from the outside.
At this time, all the subordinates in the opposite building had evacuated.
Lin Qing also understood that what happened just now could not be an accident. Suddenly she remembered that Mu Li said he would protect her, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Her face was slightly pale, and her lips bent slightly weakly.
She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
Lin Qing had lost a lot of weight in the past few days. At this time, he was grabbed by the bodyguard, and the bones on his arm hurt. The bodyguard subconsciously glanced at him and was a little surprised. Then he looked at Lin Qing and saw that he didn't react.
She looked as if the whole thing had nothing to do with her, and she was very calm even though she was trapped here.
That indifferent look made the bodyguard's heart tremble.
"You really don't know who was outside just now?"
Lin Qing raised his eyes, but there was no change in his eyes. He could only vaguely see some fatigue: "Even if I knew, what's the use? Can you find them?"
The bodyguard frowned and looked outside the door again. There weren't many of them, and he didn't know what was going on with the young lady.
But now Lin Qing is still in their hands, and those who shot just now dare not act rashly.
The bodyguard with the broken hand grabbed Lin Qing and walked towards the door. Lin Qing did not resist and followed him.
"Hey, what's going on now?" The bodyguard walked to the door and didn't see anyone, so he had to raise his voice. As he spoke, he stepped out of the room vigilantly, only to see the other bodyguards holding guns and pointing in the same direction.
"Let go of the young lady!" The bodyguard in front shouted coldly, and no other sound came from inside the house.
But you can see that the bodyguard's brows are frowning even more tightly.
Lin Qing was being dragged by the bodyguard with the broken hand. He vaguely saw that all of those people had gloomy faces. Without thinking too much, he knew that Chen Qudong must be in the room.
Liang Ruoyi was casually wrapped in a piece of clothing, so at least she didn't show too much. The bodyguard in front kicked open the door and almost saw the erotic scene on the bed. Then he calmed down and found that it was the young lady with her hands tied.
Chen Qudong quickly put his clothes on Liang Ruoyi and used her as a shield to pull her in front of him.
He had not expected it to turn out like this, but it was too late to regret now.
"I don't mean any other purpose, and I won't hurt her. Put down your guns." Chen Qudong couldn't remain calm. Facing the black muzzles of guns in the hands of nearly ten people, his voice sounded a little strange.
Liang Ruoyi sneered and raised her eyebrows: "Very good, when you let me go, I will let them shoot you immediately."
"You dare not." Chen Qudong looked down at her. It was an unintentional glance, but he saw the determination in her eyes.
Liang Ruoyi looked at her embarrassed self and said, "What else am I afraid of?"
The situation was at a stalemate here, and the bodyguard with the broken hand was still holding Lin Qing, shouting to the people in front of him: "Hey, what should we do with this woman?"
Hearing this, the bodyguard in the front turned around and saw that person's hand was bleeding. He cursed and pointed at the person behind him and followed him: "Keep an eye on her, don't let her run away."
The bodyguard with the broken hand always spoke in a frivolous tone. Hearing the displeasure in the bodyguard's tone, he let go of Lin Qing and pointed to the room behind him: "Didn't you hear someone shooting just now? It was at this balcony. Are you sending us to our deaths by letting us in now?"
They hadn't figured out what the gunshot was, and they were all on edge. The leader took out a key from his trouser pocket and threw it over. The key drew an arc in the air and was caught accurately by the intact hand: "Go to the empty room, and don't come out until I call you."
The man with the broken hand raised an eyebrow. He had long been disgusted with the behavior of the leading bodyguard. He held the key and looked down. It was the storage room near the door.
He didn't try to pull Lin Qing, but glanced at the person coming over: "My hand hurts, you take her with you."
The person who was sent had no choice but to step forward and push Lin Qing's shoulders, and the three of them walked into the room together.
Although the room was used as a storage room, it had not been used for a long time, so there were not many things in it. There were only some scattered items piled there for years, and there was a strong musty smell everywhere.
As soon as the door was pushed open, dust flew everywhere. Lin Qing couldn't help coughing a few times. The person pushing her shoulder didn't hesitate and pushed her in: "Don't move."
"Tomorrow is the third day." Lin Qing was forced to walk in. Dust suddenly rose up under his feet, and it felt soft to step on.
She said something without any reason, and the other two remained silent.
They all knew that Lin Qing would be sent back in three days. But now the eldest lady was suddenly held hostage by Chen Qudong, who could guarantee that there would be no other mishaps
If something went wrong, let alone the three days agreed upon before, even thirty days might not be enough for Lin Qing to walk out of here safely.
Yes, it is not difficult to get out, but it is difficult to get out intact.
Liang Ruoyi had already reminded them of this.
No one paid any attention. Lin Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the flying dust on the ground. The light here was even darker. There was only a small dim light bulb above his head. Perhaps because the circuit was unstable, it would occasionally make a hissing sound, and then flash a few times when nothing happened.
Lin Qing felt a sudden fear for no reason, and always felt that something bad was going to happen.
"Do you know who you are against?" Lin Qing suddenly raised his head, and in the dim light he could barely see the two people blocking the door.
They stared at Lin Qing, not knowing what she wanted to do, so they didn't say anything.
"Do you know who fired the shot just now?" Lin Qing asked again, as if he was giving them the answer to the question.
The two men looked at each other. In fact, they had guessed it early on, but they were not sure.
If they really offended Mu Li, he would definitely not let them go easily. Although the Liang family was powerful, they were still far behind the elite troops under Mu Li.
The man with the broken hand couldn't help but speak, and was a little curious about Lin Qing: "Is it Mr. Mu's people?"
Lin Qing pursed her thin lips, making her look even paler, and her little face had an unclear halo under the light.
"Yes, they are his people. His people should have surrounded this place by now. If anything happens to me, they will definitely take action. You should have experienced that just now." Lin Qingqian took a breath. She was very careful, but some dust still entered her nose, making her uncomfortable. "Do you understand what I mean?"
The bodyguard with the broken hand suddenly laughed and said, "You don't mean to ask us to hand you over now, do you?"
If Mu Li's people really surrounded this place, Lin Qing would be the biggest bargaining chip. Would they be stupid enough to hand him over for nothing
Lin Qing wasn't stupid either. She shook her head: "Is it possible?"
The look in that person's eyes was unclear: "Impossible."
"That's right." Lin Qing's purpose was not this. She was very weak and swayed back and forth. "I just want to hear Liang Ruoyi say in person that she will let me go after tomorrow."
The man looked a little confused and glanced at Lin Qing several times.
Lin Qing bit her lip and said, "Promise me that I can get Mu Li's men to leave here."
"Really?" The other person who had been silent suddenly spoke, with a gleam in his eyes.
"I just need to go back. One more day won't make any difference. But you have already offended him. It may not be easy to get away after I leave." Lin Qing was actually not sure at all. She was unsure and her palms were sweaty. If the room wasn't very dimly lit, she would be standing under the lamp and cast a shadow, and she would be exposed.
The other person seemed to have been tempted. After all, everyone wanted to solve the problem in the simplest way, and provoking Mu Li was obviously the worst option.
The man with the broken hand was no longer bleeding, but he was in so much pain that half of his arm was almost numb. He just touched Lin Qing and was shot through the back of his hand. It was horrible to think about it.
The ruthlessness of Mu Li's people was beyond their imagination.
After careful consideration, they decided to discuss with the other party and the person with the broken hand would stay inside the door while the other person would go over.
Lin Qing clenched his hands tightly and his eyelids twitched when he saw the wound on the man's hand.
All she wanted was a positive answer.
The man had been gone for a long time and had not returned. There seemed to be a dispute outside. When the noise became louder and louder, Lin Qing seemed to hear Chen Qudong's voice. She suddenly remembered that when she passed by just now, she saw those people pointing guns at him.
How did it turn out like this
Lin Qing just felt a splitting headache, she really didn't have the extra energy to think about anything else.
boom!
Following a gunshot, a man's low groan of pain was heard outside. Lin Qing recognized it as Chen Qudong's voice.
"Adong!" Liang Ruoyi was stunned at the same time. She didn't expect that he was really hit. She didn't care about her own embarrassment and turned to look at him.
Chen Qudong was shot in the shoulder. His face turned pale with pain. He pressed his shoulder with one hand and was about to kneel down.
"Miss, just now..."
"Tell her that I regret it!" Liang Ruoyi was angry and looked at Chen Qudong anxiously, not knowing whether he understood what the man said before.
She looked at the thin face and laughed at herself in her heart. She really couldn't let him go.
Liang Ruoyi said that in anger, and her voice was loud. Lin Qing heard it clearly. Her shoulders trembled, and she took a step back uncontrollably. When she looked up again, she saw the person still inside the door.
In the past few days, she asked herself more than once why she could never get what she wanted. She couldn't get it when she had a crush on Chen Qudong before, and she watched him marry someone else. Now she loves Mu Li but still can't get it. In near despair, she waited for news of him being with someone else.
Lin Qing raised her lips unconsciously, with a hint of teasing on the corners of her lips. Her eyes flickered, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard someone outside shouting -
"Shit! It's on fire!"
