Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 516
Chapter 516 Thank you for saving me
The man followed the sound, everything was normal in the pale moonlight, he turned on his flashlight and searched every inch of the place like a carpet. A careful search didn’t turn up what he was looking for. He drew a long, thin knife from his waist, the bright, sharp blade glowing eerily in the darkness.
The man held a flashlight in one hand and a knife in the other, stabbing around in the grass and bushes where the light didn’t reach, so if someone was really there, they couldn’t escape his sharp knife.
After checking all around and not finding anything, the man turned back to the hut, and before he could enter, he heard someone behind him drink, “Who are you?”
The man reacted quickly, twisting his body around and dodging toward the back of the hut, with the men behind him in hot pursuit, “Stop, or I’ll shoot!”
With a leap of his body, the man flung himself into a pile of bushes and darted toward the woods through the night.
The man behind him did not pursue, but hurried into the hut.
Lu Xiaoxian bit her lip in death, the skin broke and oozed out fishy sweet blood, she lay on the ground, holding her left arm tightly, where she was stabbed with a gash, the immense pain made her forehead break out into a large sweat, and her back got wet. She wasn’t afraid of the pain, she was afraid of the man who was going to kill her.
Her heart hit her chest vigorously, as if it was going to jump out in the next second, and her throat was so dry that it was difficult for her to even swallow. She couldn’t die, it was so hard to find Gu Nianbin, seeing happiness at her fingertips, she couldn’t die for any reason!
The moment she heard someone speak, her taut strings were loosened, and she heard that it was the voice of Lan Kaili. She wanted to shout to warn Kaili to be careful, but her throat was too dry and hoarse to make any sound at all. So she strained her ears and listened, and when she heard Kaili drive the man away, she knew she was safe.
Touching the branch on the side, she hard to get up, the wound has been bleeding, can not even press, hot blood dripping down the arm on the ground. She hurriedly walked towards the hut, but slipped on the steps, Lan Kaili heard the commotion and came out to look, instantly recognized that it was her, and without making a sound, hurriedly picked up and returned to the house.
Locking the door, Lan Kai Li put her on the bed, carefully check the wound on the arm, fortunately the stabbing is not deep, and did not hurt the tendons and veins. He used a towel to wipe clean around the wound, took the hemostatic powder from the bag and pounced on it, and then found gauze to tie the wound tightly.
Back to the house of Lu Xiaoxian like full blood resurrection as if, all of a sudden have the spirit, but also can talk, she is very surprised to see the blue Keli busy to and fro, mouth kept asking questions, “How did you find me? How did you find me? Why do you have all these things in your bag? Do you really have a gun? Who was that person just now do you know …”
“Quiet, we’re not quite safe yet.” Ranceli whispered, glancing up at the window again, it was so dark outside that he couldn’t see anything.
Lu Xiaoxian immediately quieted down, she knew that now was not the time to ask about this.
Lan Kaili bandaged her wounds and said, “For now, your cut is a bit long, you need to get stitches in the hospital or it will heal slowly, it’s not safe here, we need to leave soon.”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded, “I need a drink, my throat is too dry.”
Lan Kaili had water with him, so he took it out for her to drink, and Lu Xiaoxian tilted her neck and drank half the bottle in one gulp before stopping and saying, “Let’s go.”
It was terribly quiet outside, even the insects’ chirping had died down, dooming the night to be somewhat unusual.
Lan Kaili led Lu Xiaoxian along the path quietly and quickly, he looked around alertly, his hand probing his waist from time to time, but fortunately he didn’t encounter any trouble.
Lu Xiaoxian held her injured arm and followed him without moving an inch, suddenly feeling that this time Lan Kai Li was very different, he was calm, cool, athletic, agile, like a cheetah walking in the mountains and forests. He was calm, cool, athletic, agile, like a cheetah walking in the mountains and forests. He was like a different person from the usual playboy who was laughing and joking.
After seven turns in the darkness, they came out of the woods, a flat grassy area in front of them, and the road was much wider, with a car parked on the side of the road, and Keli Blue whispered, “Get in the car.”
Lu Xiaoxian knew that this must be the car that Lan Kaili drove in, she was a little excited, as long as she got in this car, she could leave this hellish place.
Seeing that she was just a step away from the car, Lan Kaili suddenly strangled her waist and rolled to the side, Lu Xiaoxian let out a cry of surprise and was crushed under the man.
“Don’t talk, there’s someone in the bushes.”
Lu Xiaoxian immediately closed her mouth tightly, and heard two muffled sounds, as if they were right next to her, she was so frightened that she couldn’t control her shaking.
“Don’t be afraid,” Lanceli whispered in her ear, “He’s on the right, now you climb into the car by sticking to the left side, can you do that?”
Lu Xiaoxian hmmm, she was trembling with fear, but she also knew that being afraid didn’t help. She quietly stick to the body to climb up, probably because of too much tension, feet on the pedal when the Hou slipped, she instinctively let out a soft cry, just a very small one, and led to two muffled sounds, Lu Xiaoxian like a gecko like stick to the car does not move, she then heard out, that muffled sound is the sound of the shooting.
“Fairy,” Keli Blue called to her quietly, “Are you okay?”
“No.” Lu Xiaoxian replied, touching the car door, gently opening it, and burrowing in like a kitten.
Lan Kaili was lying on the ground, watching Lu Xiaoxian finally enter the car, he couldn’t help but show his face in praise, obviously scared like that, but braver than he thought.
He fired several shots into the grass to his right, then pranced up and through the window of the car in one swift motion.
Start the car and close the window and step on the gas in one go, the car like a loaded bullet, shot out, Lu Xiaoxian heard a few muffled gunshots from the back, she hurriedly lowered her body and shrunk into a ball.
Lan Kaili looked grim, his two eyes shining in the darkness, the gas pedal was pressed to the bottom, the car whizzed along the road, I don’t know how long it took, buildings appeared in front of him, he slowed down, and finally he was relieved, “It’s okay, just sit back.”
Only then did Lu Xiaoxian obediently sit up straight and turn her head to look at Lan Kaili, suddenly exclaiming, “Ya, you’re hurt.”
Lanceli glanced at the bleeding arm and smiled, “It’s fine, a little scratch.”
Lu Xiao Xian was worried, “Stop and bandage it, it won’t do to keep bleeding like this.”
“Let’s talk about it when we get into town,” said Lanceli, “it’s not quite out of rubber plantation territory yet.”
Lu Xiaoxian was taken aback and looked out the window, “Still not out of the rubber plantation? This place is too big!”
“Soon, this road goes to the end to the main road.” Lan Kaili said, “Once we get into the city, I’ll find a safe place to settle you before I say anything, you can’t go back to the manor.”
Lu Xiaoxian finally couldn t help but ask at this time, “Your big brother he …”
Lan Kaili’s face slumped and he said coldly, “Don’t mention him, he’s not a good person!”
“He is a good person, he … is a good person,” Lu Xiaoxian sharply defended.
Lan Kaili slammed the brakes on and the car stopped on the side of the road, he was furious, “If you’re still obsessed, I’ll send you back now, you’ll know if he’s a good person when you’re dead!”
Lu Xiaoxian rarely saw Lan Kaili lose his temper like this, so he could only keep quiet and silently bit his lip as he looked out the window.
The car finally entered the city. Although it was late at night, there were lights everywhere, neon flashing, street lights bright, Lu Xiaoxian seemed to be in another world, she hadn’t been away for long, but it was like a world away.
Lanceli was alert, and the car kept circling the road, making sure there were no tails before driving into a residence, his secret base that even his mother didn’t know about.
Entering the house, Lu Xiaoxian first thing is to check the wounds of Lan Kaili, and as he said, it is just a bit of skin, not a big problem. After rubbing the medicine and stopping the bleeding, there is nothing more to do.
Lan Kaili made hot tea and gave it to Lu Xiaoxian, “Have a sip of the hot one to calm your nerves, then go to bed, we’ll talk about something tomorrow.”
The clock on the wall was pointing to four in the morning, but Lu Xiaoxian had no desire to sleep, she really had too many questions she wanted to ask.
Of course the most important thing to say is thank you, “Keli, thank you for saving me, without you I might not have survived tonight.”
“No need to thank me, I’m the one who brought you home, I’m responsible for your safety.” Lan Kaili sighed, “Actually, I should say I’m sorry for making you suffer so much. I didn’t think that my great aunt would actually kill painfully!”
“Don’t think too much, it’s none of your business at all, but,” Lu Xiaoxian frowned, “Are you sure it’s her? I’ve been in the rubber plantation for a few days now, if she wanted to make a move she would have done it long ago, why would she wait until now?”
“And who else wants you dead?”
Lu Xiaoxian bowed her head in silence for a moment and said, “There are plenty of people who don’t like me.”
“You mean Lan Qin’er?” Lan Kaili was a bit surprised, “She’s bad, but she doesn’t have this much guts, right?”
Lu Xiaoxian didn’t actually know who wanted her dead, but it was definitely among those who didn’t like her.
She asked Lanceli, “How did you know I was at the rubber plantation.”
“Uncle Hua hinted to me.” Lan Kaili said, “I always thought that he was loyal to his great aunt, but I never thought that I had misjudged him.”
Lu Xiaoxian suddenly remembered at this time and asked him, “How come you can shoot a gun and carry a medical bag with you?”
“Surprised, right?” Blue Keli was quite a bit proud, “I joined the army, and also went to the peacekeeping force, if it wasn’t for my mom fighting to the death, I would definitely be in the mercenary corps right now.”
Lu Xiaoxian was indeed surprised, her eyes widened as she re-examined him, “No wonder you’re so good with your hands, but that day when Lan Kaize hit you, why didn’t you fight back?”
“I’m just giving in to him.” As soon as he was mentioned, Lan Kaili didn’t have a good look on his face, “Alright, don’t mention him, just pretend you’ve never known this person.”
Lu Xiaoxian was silent, the one who came to save her should be Lan Kaize, why was it Lan Kaili? Why was it Lan Kailei? Moreover, when Lan Kaize was mentioned, Lan Kailei gritted his teeth, there must be a reason for this? What happened to Kaiser after she left? On the road, it was hard to ask, so she held back, but now if she didn’t ask, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to sleep.
