Lin Qing was startled for a moment, and soon she smelled smoke. The fire was very big, and judging by the noise outside, it should have started in the room where she had stayed before.
She remembered that there was nothing in the room, how could it catch fire
She was puzzled, and looked up at the man with the broken hand. He was also completely puzzled. But at this moment, he was responsible for watching Lin Qing, and he couldn't leave even if the fire outside burned his eyebrows.
There was a strong wind raging outside. I don't know when the balcony door of the house was opened. The fire was growing bigger and bigger and could not be controlled at all. A gust of cold wind blew in and blew the flames into the living room, which was not big to begin with.
"Miss, we must leave here now!" Seeing that the fire could not be put out, a bodyguard turned around and looked at Liang Ruoyi who had put on her clothes.
Liang Ruoyi knew that the building opposite was also on fire. She thought that the two things could not be a coincidence. She glanced at the sky outside, which was gloomy and depressing. It looked like a rainstorm would come soon.
How could she not know that Mu Li’s people were outside
There has been no movement these few days, maybe he is just waiting for this moment.
Liang Ruoyi gathered her coat and asked someone to simply treat Chen Qudong's wound. She was still in the room, and most of the bodyguards followed closely behind her, while the rest tried to put out the fire.
"Where is Lin Qingren?"
"In the storage room at the door." The bodyguard behind him said promptly.
Liang Ruoyi became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. Chen Qudong was injured because of Lin Qing, and they were in a passive position because of Lin Qing. She turned around and said to the bodyguard, "Bring the person over here."
The bodyguard was about to leave immediately, but before he went out, he heard a loud noise outside the door, as if something had exploded.
With a loud bang, Lin Qing's ears vibrated as he stood in the room.
The room she was in was very close to the gate, separated by only a wall. The gate was blown open, and although she couldn't see it, she could sense something.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qing asked the person inside the door.
The room was closed and the man was not quite sure what was going on, so he used his good hand to open the door a crack and look.
Just as it was opened, before any light came out, an iron fist rushed towards him without hesitation. The man felt a black screen before his eyes, and his body swayed twice before he fell to the ground.
Lin Qing took a deep breath and took several steps back.
"Why are you retreating? Are you going in the wrong direction?" the man standing outside the door said jokingly. A bodyguard rushed over and a knife flew out from Zheng Yanchong's sleeve and hit the bodyguard's calf.
Lin Qing stayed in the dim place for too long and couldn't see the man clearly. She was in a trance. The moment the door opened, she was filled with a choking smell of smoke. She stretched out her hand and shouted, "Mu Li!"
Zheng Yan frowned and looked around to find that there was no one in the living room. Liang Ruoyi's men were all in the room. Such a good opportunity would be wasted if it was not used.
Lin Qing staggered forward a few steps and almost fell in front of the man: "Mu Li, is that you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say is true." Zheng Yan was too lazy to argue with her. He hugged her and rushed out through the exploded door.
The bodyguards reacted to the sound of the door exploding and came out one after another, only to catch a glimpse of Lin Qing's snow-white figure.
"What are you still standing there for?!" Liang Ruoyi naturally saw this scene from behind and shouted.
Those people immediately chased after him.
The bodyguards guarding the stairs had long been dealt with by Zheng Yan, who ran downstairs with Lin Qing. Mu Li's subordinates had already noticed the fire on the ninth floor, and now they were all surrounded outside, waiting for the people upstairs to come down.
Zheng Yan probably saw through their intentions, and he suddenly tightened his arm around Lin Qing, and the two of them stopped on the second floor.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qing suddenly stopped and rushed forward by inertia. There was no light in the corridor. She raised her head but could not see the man's face clearly.
Zheng Yan lowered his voice and glanced down, while trying to pry the door next to him. The moment the door opened, he quietly sneaked in with Lin Qing: "It's okay, just follow me."
Lin Qing was shocked when he heard the voice and looked up in astonishment: "You are not Mu Li!"
Zheng Yan shrugged helplessly, and it was obvious that her reaction was a little slow: "Oh, no."
"Who are you?" Lin Qing had long forgotten Zheng Yan's voice. She pushed him away with all the strength she could think of. "Why did you save me?"
"Why are you so long-winded?" Zheng Yan was slightly annoyed. Lin Qing's voice was not low. After he finished speaking, he covered Lin Qing's mouth with one hand and dragged her behind the wall next to her.
"Let me go!" Lin Qing struggled several times but failed. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.
"Don't move, do you want to be caught?" Zheng Yan's voice turned cold and he threatened bluntly.
If I make a sound now, I might be exposed, but I won't be caught. Instead, I will be discovered by Mu Li's people.
That would undoubtedly be good for Lin Qing, but it was not Zheng Yan's purpose.
He just wanted to make Mu Li feel pain too.
There were not many of Liang Ruoyi's men left, and when they went downstairs, they found those men who had been knocked down. However, when they wanted to go upstairs again, it was too late, and a group of people rushed downstairs.
Sure enough, they were surrounded.
"Hand him over!"
The leading subordinate shouted coldly.
"Let us go first!" One of the bodyguards threatened in secret.
It is absolutely impossible to let him go. Mu Li's subordinates kept watching him closely, but there was no sign of Lin Qing. Everyone began to become suspicious.
"No need to ask, Lin Qing is not in my hands." Liang Ruoyi came down from upstairs at this time, and Chen Qudong was pressed behind him by two people.
The two sides exchanged cold shots and were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
"Are you joking, Ms. Liang?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the darkness.
The subordinates did not change their expressions when they heard the voice. They automatically made way for him from the rear. Their movements were uniform, quick and decisive. The sound of their retreating steps could be heard in the biting wind.
A man in a military coat strode towards the night, his face as stern as a Shura in the dark night. His two frowning eyebrows were tinged with coldness, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his gaze was directed straight at the people who were surrounded in front of the building.
When the first shot was fired, the subordinates reported the situation to Mu Li, who drove over quickly and was determined to bring Lin Qing back today.
He has made sufficient preparations to deal with the Liang family. Liang Ruoyi went back on her word, so he doesn't have to wait for the three-day appointment anymore.
At this time, Liang Ruoyi was standing among the bodyguards. There was no bright moon and stars tonight, but the firelight in the sky was reflected. When she looked up, she saw the man striding towards her.
He was surrounded by an alluring coldness that made it impossible for anyone to get close to him, let alone look directly into his cold black eyes.
Liang Ruoyi was shocked, and subconsciously avoided those eyes, and forced a smile: "I said I was not joking, Mr. Mu, please come and see it yourself."
They just chased down from upstairs and indeed did not see any trace of Lin Qing and the other person. Mu Li's men were also surrounding them, so it should be impossible for them to escape.
Mu Li curled his thin lips coldly, and a huge fire was burning not far behind him. The flames shot up into the sky, reflecting his blood-red eyes.
"You still have the guts to say such things, Liang Ruoyi. I thought you at least had self-awareness."
Before Liang Ruoyi could speak, the leader of the subordinates walked up to Mu Li and whispered something. Mu Li frowned slightly, and when he looked at the people who were surrounded again, he only said two words: "Catch them."
"You dare to arrest me?" Liang Ruoyi saw that Mu Li was really going to take action, and couldn't help but take a step back, "If you arrest me, you will be against the Liang family!"
"To oppose?" Mu Li sneered, "I'm just helping your Liang family clean up."
Liang Ruoyi didn't know about her father's affairs, and she just thought that Mu Li was doing it for Lin Qing without any scruples. And among the bodyguards she brought today, there was the person Mu Li was looking for.
If we catch them, combined with the evidence we found before, we won’t be afraid that we won’t be able to suppress the Liang family.
However, Mu Li's mind was not here. He frowned, stared at the night sky, and looked up at the old building in front of him.
According to the report from his subordinates just now, Lin Qing is still here.
Not long after, all of Liang Ruoyi's bodyguards were captured. Mu Li led some of them into the building, and the rest stayed behind to guard.
The fire on the ninth floor was filled with smoke, which was getting worse and worse. The smell in the corridor was choking, and it was impossible to stay there for long. Mu Li thought that Lin Qing had escaped alone during the chaos, and thought that she couldn't pry open the door. The more he smelled the smell, the more anxious and nervous he became.
"Lin Qing!" Mu Li shouted, his deep voice piercing the entire corridor. He looked up, trying to find some clues, but all he could see was darkness and diffuse smoke.
No one responded.
He didn't believe that Lin Qing couldn't hear it, but he didn't get any response.
Is she still angry with him about Xu Yuan
Mu Li frowned.
Inside the house on the second floor that had been pried open, Lin Qing was taken to the side of the living room by Zheng Yan. Her mouth was covered and she could only make unclear whimpering sounds, which were completely ineffective.
Zheng Yan originally planned to take her out of the window and escape, but he heard Mu Li's voice and cursed in his heart.
Mu Li has already arrived, which means that this place is completely surrounded and it is probably impossible to leave through the window.
"Lin Qing!" His voice was filled with obvious anxiety.
Lin Qing shook her body but couldn't escape, and her covered mouth made muffled sounds.
"Well... I..."
Zheng Yan increased his strength and pressed down hard: "Don't make a sound!"
Lin Qing was almost unable to breathe as the big hand covered his hand. His heart beat faster and faster. He got so nervous that he ignored everything and opened his mouth to bite it.
"Mu Li!" She shouted before she could think too much. Zheng Yan was bitten in pain and cursed. He was quick and covered Lin Qing's mouth again.
Although the footsteps outside could no longer be heard at this time, I didn't know whether Mu Li heard the urgent call.
Lin Qing's eyelashes trembled and her eyes became moist. She couldn't remember anything except his name.
Mu Li...
She called out softly in her heart, and her heart trembled slightly. At this moment, she realized how much she relied on that man.
When she was in pain, sadness, and despair to the point of suffocation, it seemed as if only he could save her, lead her away from all the cruelty, and create a world of her own for her.
The man's big palm was enough to soothe all her anxieties and give her the most reassuring protection.
Lin Qing laughed. She actually loved him more than she thought.
And this heart can no longer accommodate another person, it has been completely occupied by the man named Mu Li.
Mu Li used his tenderness and cruelty, pampering and hurt, step by step trapping her in his dense web, leaving her no chance of escape.
Thinking of him, even breathing hurts.
The night sky spilled into the corridor through the perforated wall and fell coldly on the man's shoulders. Mu Li stopped when he reached the third floor and suddenly looked down.
"Go to the second floor."
