C44 I Scared You?

"Bang!"

The car door was opened, and his subordinates seemed to hear frantic sounds.

Young Master Tang, who had always been calm and self-assured, almost lost his mind after hearing Soong Zhe's report.

"Search!"

His order was only one word.

… ….

The game of chess was still on display on the round table, so Qiao Zheng didn't continue. He stood under the wutong tree in the corner with his back facing the crowd, and he alone was tidying up his heartbroken and joyous emotions …

He had met Mu!

Behind him came the sound of hurried footsteps. He quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, wanting to deal with his fellow prisoners who were urging him to play chess: "Hey! "I'll be right there..."

He fell silent.

The moment he saw the other party clearly, his collar tightened and his neck was strangled. The collar of the prisoner's uniform had been pulled up into a ball. A strong force had been exerted, causing his neck to instantly turn red.

"It's you?" The lack of oxygen in his neck couldn't compare to Qiao Zheng's current shock.

"Where did she go?" Tang Beiyao asked. His expression was cold to the extreme, like a killer who had climbed up from hell and was ready to take Qiao Mu's life at any moment. "Where's Qiao Mu?"

"I've always wanted to talk to you …"

"Where did she go?" Tang Beiyao interrupted him, the force in his five fingers tightened, and the interrogation turned into a roar. He just wanted to know where Qiao Mu had gone to! She was in danger!

Everything else, I don't care.

"... "Cough, cough." Qiao Zheng was pinched so hard that he pointed in a direction. Before he could explain in detail, Tang Beiyao had already left him and headed in that direction.

"Wait …" "Beiyao!" Qiao Zheng chased a few steps, his voice somewhat hoarse. He was so excited that his lower lip slightly trembled. "I know that all these years have been difficult for you …"

It was rare for Tang Beiyao to stop.

However, it only stopped for a second. He interrupted Qiao Zheng coldly: "Therefore, I will never let you have a good life!" After he finished speaking, he quickly walked forward.

"But Mu is innocent!" Qiao Zheng stubbornly caught up to him a few steps — the events of that year were still lacking a bloody ending, and it would come sooner or later! He wanted to hand Qiao Mu over to him …

Qiao Mu was innocent!

"So you'd better not tell her anything!"

Tang Beiyao stopped him.

There was already a chilling glint in his eyes, and his killing intent seemed to be overflowing. Yet, he was mad and stubborn in his desire to find her … Qiao Zheng was stunned for a second and then watched Tang Beiyao walk out of his line of sight.

'So you'd better not tell her anything! '

These words lingered in his mind for a long time before Qiao Zheng relaxed his shoulders …

Fortunately.

He thought so too.

The "short mountain" papa was referring to was actually a slope that was more than a dozen stories high. It was just that the greenery was quite good and there were a lot of trees growing on it. The road was a little bumpy. From a distance, one could see the small pine tree at the top of the mountain.

There it is!

Qiao Mu didn't care about the mud or dirt as she dashed over. When she saw the new soil beside the tree roots, her face lit up with happiness. She dug out the object from the dirt — it was a small, flat iron box, but it was sealed shut and could not be opened.

Inside... Just a clue?

Things were going better than she had expected.

Qiao Mu wiped the dirt off her clothes and carefully put them away. Just as she was about to turn around and return, a person walked out from the shadows behind her. He was tall and dark, wearing the uniform of a prison guard.

"papa, you can't be at ease. Let me come over and take a look." He grinned, and with one hand behind his back, he pushed through the branches and approached. "Have you found the thing?" As he spoke, he extended his hand towards her.

"What is it?" Qiao Mu forced a smile and took two steps back. "I don't know what you want."

She wouldn't give it anyway.

"Give me the item and I'll let you live. Otherwise …" His voice paused for a moment, and then he revealed his right hand that was behind him. In that hand was a katana, and it was shining with a cold light. Otherwise, I'll rob it myself. "

Qiao Mu's expression changed, "You are not Tang Beiyao's man."

It was not a question, but a definite one.

However, the other party didn't respond at all. Seeing that she wasn't willing to give it to him, he directly swung his blade at her in the next second … A cold light flashed. If she didn't dodge fast enough, her neck would have probably been cut in half.

Ping!

She also fell heavily onto the ground.

The ground was uneven and there was no way for her to escape. Moreover, with the fall just now, even one of her shoes had been thrown away. Who knew where she had fallen to? If they still chose to fight head on, that would be even more impossible!

At a glance, he could tell that he couldn't win, not to mention that the other party even had a knife!

"Who the hell are you?"

If he wasn't Tang Beiyao's subordinate who wanted to kill her and wanted to know the truth, who was he?

"Humph!" The other party coldly snorted and looked down on her like he was looking at an ant. He simply did not bother to explain and completely wanted to kill her. He brandished his blade and hacked down viciously …

A silver light flashed.

The only thought that came to Qiao Mu's mind was that he was finished.

However, in the next second —

A silhouette appeared in front of her. His speed was extremely fast, and his movement speed was extremely fast. As he dodged the saber blade's slash, he changed the direction of his attack by clamping onto the handle of the saber with his backhand …

"Be careful!" Qiao Mu exclaimed.

She was protected behind Tang Beiyao, so she couldn't see what was going on, but her heart tensed up to the extreme: He blocked in front of her? If he made the slightest mistake, he would have to take the knife for her.

Tang Beiyao frowned.

When he realized that she was behind him, he pulled back his dagger and attacked her. Suddenly, he pierced through her shoulder and nailed her to the tree.

The entire set of movements was completed in one go.

The opponent did not have any chance to retaliate at all. He could only stare in shock and panic, until his shoulder was in extreme pain and he let out a blood-curdling screech …

The dust settled.

Qiao Mu panted with lingering fear, her face slightly pale. Tang Beiyao's movements were too fast, to the point that she did not feel any blood. It was only when he squatted down and had his eyes level with hers that she realized …

He had saved her life.

Soong Zhe and the others on the side had already gone to deal with that person. No one came to disturb them. In the noisy environment, it seemed exceptionally quiet with them as the center.

"Where are the shoes?" He looked down at her muddy socks.

Qiao Mu shook her head blankly. "I don't know."

"Are you hurt?" Tang Beiyao's tone was calm and calm. The moment he saw her, he seemed to have gained some sort of calmness. All reason was back.

Qiao Mu shook her head, but her mind was still blank.

She was a little scared.

"Scared?" He reached out and touched her little face, his long fingers brushing away the bits of grass stuck to the ends of her hair. "I didn't bring a gun today. It was a little late."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to run all the way here from such a distance.

Qiao Mu looked at him blankly.

Regardless of what he said, he was … Explain like her? It was as if he was apologizing to her for his guilt …
