Chapter 1753: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (23)
As her mind worked to figure things out, Xu Fang and her n, having heard movents outside, suddenly appeared from within the thatched huts and charged at them.
Qiao Yiyi’s pupils shrank back at once. She quickly retreated and dodged behind Lu Nanze.
Since he was worried about her, seeing this happen sohow gave him so sort of gratification.
At least the girl knew what was good for her and took shelter.
For a while, he had thought she was going to play superhero and charge ahead.
At this thought, Lu Nanze focused his attention back to what was in front of him.
Shielding herself behind him and his team, her gaze fell on a figure whose head was covered by a burlap sack. The figure was being held down by a few n, who had positioned themselves slightly behind Xu Fang.
That figure was stumbling alongside the n, who were yanking her along. The dress she wore was obviously very much like what she had been wearing yesterday, but if one were to observe closely, it wasn’t the sa dress.
However, Lu Nanze would not have noticed what she was wearing, right?
Hence, she was quite sure that Lu Nanze would not realize that the woman there was actually not Qiao Yiyi.
As these thoughts ran through her mind, Xu Fang spoke, “Mr. Lu, I think you know what I want. If you want to release the hostage, get my daughter out of jail!”
“That’s not possible!” the man spoke in a commanding tone. “She ran over my father with a car and killed him. The law is already giving your family face for not having given her a death sentence!”
“Mr. Lu, how could you be so heartless? My daughter is pregnant with your child.”
Lu Nanze laughed frostily and did not address her remark. Instead, he looked steadily at the figure behind Xu Fang and said, “I believe you know and understand the reason why I married this girl. I’m here now, so it doesn’t matter to what you do to her. If word gets out, I’ll be accused of the inability to protect her, at worst. But if you kill her, you will die with her!”
At this remark, Lu Nanze moved back and his bodyguards took their positions in front of him, standing between him and Xu Fang’s n.
Lu Nanze’s n looked more than ready. Xu Fang’s eyes flashed nervously as she looked at them.
The woman who had the burlap sack over her head shook her head vigorously. She made a few muffled sounds, as though there was sothing in her mouth.
Qiao Yiyi frowned. That voice was so different from hers.
But not that Lu Nanze would know the difference, since he hardly paid any attention to her?
The man probably didn’t even know how tall or heavy his own wife was.
Qiao Yiyi twitched her mouth and snorted as that thought struck her.
He was really too cold towards his own wife.
At this point, Xu Fang spoke again, “Mr. Lu, how could you be so heartless?!”
Lu Nanze cast his gaze down and said, “Don’t you already know what sort of person I am?”
“You—”
The man looked up and said, “Let her go, and I’ll let this matter go. As though it never happened. How about that?”
Xu Fang clenched her fists tightly.
She knew that Lu Nanze ant whatever he said.
Since he had said this, she knew that if she let this girl go, Lu Nanze would let her off the hook too.
But...
The person under this burlap sack wasn’t Madam Lu at all.
So even if they released the girl, it was useless.
And Lu Nanze would be even more furious to find out that he had been tricked.
So she was now at a dead end.
Xu Fang snapped her head up at this thought and looked at Lu Nanze steadily. “I dared do this today because I’m fully prepared! Since you don’t care about her, I’ll kill her and die too.”
After saying this, she took out a dagger, aid it at the girl’s neck and plunged it in.
