Chapter 876: Chapter 876 Dream 8
Du Lai sneered, “If I release her now, I still have no way out!”
Qiao Na, calm as ever, negotiated with him, “As long as you let go of the young lady, I can arrange a vehicle for you, but I can only release one of your accomplices. Otherwise, if the old man reprimands us, I will die too.”
She glanced at the people tied up on the ground and said coolly, “You choose one.”
Bai Youwei, watching unnoticed, secretly cheered. The tutor had skilfully bypassed Du Lai’s proposal, presenting the challenge of “choosing one,” leading people to subconsciously ignore the option of “releasing all companions” and instead consider “which companion to release.”
At that mont, Du Lai, holding Fu Miaoxue hostage, was already on edge and probably wouldn’t think carefully, allowing the verbal trap to disrupt his thoughts.
He looked at his accomplices on the ground, his gaze lingering before settling on one.
Qiao Na sensed his decision and, before Du Lai could change his mind, ordered a bodyguard, “Unlock his handcuffs.”
The bodyguard hoisted up the man and took out the key to unlock the handcuffs.
Click.
The handcuffs opened, freeing the bound hands.
Just when Du Lai’s heart had started to ease, Qiao Na suddenly raised her hand and fired a shot at him!
Bang!!!
Imdiately after, another bang, she shot the man who had just been unbound in the head!
Du Lai fell heavily to the ground, rendered unconscious.
Silence filled the air around them.
Qiao Na lowered her gun and pulled out a white handkerchief, wiping the gun’s muzzle without expression.
The others remained calm, as though accustod to such events, thodically cleaning up the scene—detaining those alive, disposing of the dead.
Fu Miaoxue touched her reddened neck and followed Qiao Na, chattering incessantly, “Couldn’t you have been gentler? It was so hard for to find an interesting toy. What if he died? Is his injury severe? Can it be healed? Will it affect his agility? Listen, you must heal him, understand! He still has to perform magic for …”
Finally, Qiao Na put down the gun, frowning, “Miss, if you want to watch magic, you can hire a professional magician.”
“What fun would that be?” Fu Miaoxue looked down at Du Lai on the ground, lifted her foot clad in bright red high heels, and lightly tapped him with the tip of her shoe, smiling, “I like wild dogs like this—it’s entertaining.”
Qiao Na expressionless, “I’ll contact the doctor to arrange surgery for him.”
Fu Miaoxue’s eyes lit up, “How long will it take for him to get better after the surgery?”
“It depends on his constitution,” Qiao Na replied indifferently, “Miss needn’t worry too much. I will take care of everything. It’s already quite late, please go back to your room to rest. There are lessons tomorrow morning. Please be mindful of the ti and not be late.”
Disgust flashed across Fu Miaoxue’s face.
“I know, I know, I’m going to sleep right now…”
She turned to return to her room but stopped after a couple of steps and reminded Qiao Na, “Make sure he’s healed, understand!”
Qiao Na nodded, “Yes, Miss.”
Still not reassured, Fu Miaoxue added, “After the surgery, move him to my room.”
Qiao Na furrowed her brow, “Miss, that’s against the rules.”
“Just a dog, what’s against the rules?” Fu Miaoxue said, “Put a collar on him, lock him in a cage, I want to be able to see him every mont.”
Qiao Na sighed helplessly, “Alright, I understand, Miss.”
Satisfied, Fu Miaoxue curled her lips into a smile and humd a tune as she headed back to her room.
Bai Youwei witnessed everything that had happened.
She watched as people carried Du Lai away, two maids cleaning the bloodstains from the floor with tools. The brief commotion, like a farce that ended as quickly as it began, and the estate returned to tranquility.
Bai Youwei thought for a mont, then followed the people ahead, deciding to first check on Du Lai’s condition.
