Only thirty minutes had passed since Xiao Zheng hung up the phone, and Xiao Zheng had promised Shen Manjun that he would pick her up as soon as possible. Why did Shen Manjun fall asleep in such a short time?
Could it be that the person lying on the bed was not Shen Manjun? Could it be a pre-arranged killer?
Xiao Zheng stopped abruptly, breathing evenly and lightly, staring at the movement on the bed. After a long time, he called in a low voice, "Shen Manjun."
Pah.
The light in the room was bright, and Xiao Zheng almost subconsciously rushed to the direction where the sound of the light being turned on came from. He wanted to eliminate all the possibilities that could pose a threat to him before the other party had time to make a move.
He acted very quickly. The person who turned on the light didn't even have time to make a sound. Xiao Zheng's fingers grabbed the throat of the other party. At this time, their eyes barely adapted to the strong light.
However, the person who turned on the light was not the killer that Xiao Zheng expected. Instead, it was Shen Manjun with a frightened face and confused eyes.
Moreover, what surprised Xiao Zheng the most was the silver pistol in Shen Manjun's hand. It was exquisite and could be carried everywhere. And the muzzle was aimed at Xiao Zheng very accurately. It was just that he didn't have time to pull the trigger.
"It's you?"
Xiao Zheng and Shen Manjun said in unison, with a surprised look on their faces.
Xiao Zheng didn't expect that Shen Manjun would be waiting for him here, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the bed.
There was indeed a human figure on the bed, but because it was covered with a quilt and it was dark just now, Xiao Zheng didn't see clearly that it was just a human-shaped doll hidden under the quilt.
Why did Shen Manjun do this? Who was she guarding against? Or, who was she trying to confuse?
"How did you come in through the window —" Shen Manjun slowly put down the pistol with a surprised look on her face.
"Do you want me to come in and out of the Zhao family openly?" Xiao Zheng also let go of Shen Manjun's arm.
Who would have thought that when the two of them met again, they would actually meet on the battlefield. It was truly ironic.
When Shen Manjun heard Xiao Zheng say this, a trace of sadness flashed across her haggard face. "He even wants to kill you?"
"Is it very strange?" Xiao Zheng smiled, but his eyes revealed a trace of imperceptible concern.
Seeing Shen Manjun's appearance, Xiao Zheng could finally determine her situation.
Anger can be faked, happiness can also be faked, even like Mister Zhao, faking a coma. The only thing that could not be faked was haggard and helplessness. Helplessness towards this world.
After a pause, Xiao Zheng asked Shen Manjun, "On the other hand, why did you prepare a doll in the shape of a human on the bed? Even in his own room with a gun in his hand? What happened? "
"In the past few days, several groups of people have come to our house. Although I was killed before I could even enter the door — "Shen Manjun paused and said with a dull expression. "But I hear gunshots every night."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng's heart was filled with complicated emotions.
He could hear gunshots every night?
Wasn't this something that only happened in the war zone? Now, in a society ruled by law like Pearl City, Shen Manjun could actually feel such an atmosphere. No wonder she took the initiative to call him for help, hoping that he would take her away.
Indeed. If it was any other normal person, they probably wouldn't be able to stay calm in such an environment, right?
"Your father didn't arrange for anyone to protect your safety?" Xiao Zheng sat on the chair and calmly lit a cigarette.
Shen Manjun heard this and sat down opposite Xiao Zheng with a depressed mood. If it was any other time, she would be more than happy to sit next to Xiao Zheng. But at this moment, in this situation, Shen Manjun really didn't have such courage. She also knew that she would never have such an honor again.
Even when they first met, the two of them had to fight. It was foreseeable how the two of them would get along in the future.
And the most important point was — how could the current Xiao Zheng treat her like before?
Looking at his current state, Shen Manjun knew everything clearly.
"He came to protect me?" Shen Manjun put the gun on the coffee table and said with a solemn and confused expression. "Even if he is willing, I don't want to accept it."
Protect?
She had already been used by Mister Zhao. She was deeply hurt by Mister Zhao. For such a father, which daughter would dare to rely on him and seek his protection?
Shen Manjun felt that Xiao Zheng's question was too ironic and absurd.
It was like a daughter who had been abused all day asking for a lollipop from her violent parents. It sounded extremely funny.
Seeing Shen Manjun like this, Xiao Zheng could not help but sigh softly: "Actually, even if he is cold-blooded and heartless to everyone, "In fact, even if he is cold-blooded and heartless to everyone, he definitely doesn't have any bad intentions towards you."
Shen Manjun slightly frowned and said, "I don't want to hear anything about him."
Xiao Zheng stared blankly for a moment before curiously asking, "He imprisoned you. And prohibited you from entering the Zhao family? "
"Yes." Shen Manjun nodded lightly and said painfully. "Isn't it ridiculous to be imprisoned in my own home?"
Xiao Zheng didn't give a positive evaluation of Shen Manjun's words. He just took a puff and said solemnly, "Then it's impossible for you to leave from the front door."
"How did you get in?" Shen Manjun looked up and asked. Her eyes were full of hope.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I definitely didn't swagger in."
"Take me out the way you came in," Shen Manjun said. "As long as I can get out of here, I will do anything."
"It seems that it's not that you don't want to live here, but that you hate it?" Xiao Zheng asked in confusion.
Even if Mister Zhao's plot killed everyone, from his point of view, he did nothing wrong. After all, in Mister Zhao's world, he either killed the enemy or was killed by the enemy. As his daughter, Shen Manjun didn't support Mister Zhao's actions and even didn't understand. But at least she should understand, right?
As a daughter, Shen Manjun's reaction seemed to be too extreme. Even if Mister Zhao lied to her. He used her.
"Do you know what happened here?" Shen Manjun asked in return.
"A lot of people died." Xiao Zheng said. "I was there."
"There was also a massacre." Shen Manjun bit her lip. "A disgusting massacre, a bloodbath!"
"Everyone, everyone he knew for decades, people he was brothers with for decades." Shen Manjun said with her whole body trembling. "For his ambition, to satisfy his desire for power, he killed those old brothers who followed him for many years. Not a single one was left alive! "
Xiao Zheng's face suddenly changed, pursed his lips and asked, "You mean — — he killed all the elders of the Zhao family?"
"He's a madman!" Shen Manjun said with a trembling voice. "He's a devil!"
Listening to Shen Manjun's description, Xiao Zheng's scalp went numb, a cold breeze went down his back, and a strange color appeared in his eyes.
Killed all the elders of the Zhao family?
Zhao Laosi, for your big dream, you plan to let everyone die with you?
Once. When Ye Shiguan didn't even hesitate to use his brothers as cannon fodder in order to climb up the ranks, Xiao Zheng felt ashamed of his despicable behavior. Now, Xiao Zheng realized that compared to Zhao Laosi, Ye Shiguan's cultivation was not even enough to fill the gap between Zhao Laosi's teeth.
No wonder Ye Shiguan lost to Zhao Laosi in the end. It seems that the two of them were not on the same level at all. At least Ye Shiguan was just using him, using his pride. But Mister Zhao directly chopped the heads of his brothers who fought together with him. Without blinking an eye, he sacrificed all the elders of the Zhao family. Just to achieve his own selfish goals.
How cruel was this?
How cold-blooded was this?
"I'll take you away." Xiao Zheng suddenly said solemnly. "No, no matter where you want to go, I'll take you away."
Shen Manjun was very touched, "Thank you — —"
It was not difficult for Xiao Zheng to enter and leave the Zhao family alone. At least with his professional level, the guards of the Zhao family couldn't find out who he really was. But he had to take Shen Manjun with him. Facing the tight defense of the Zhao family, the difficulty immediately increased exponentially, multiplied several times.
First of all, Shen Manjun's movement was not as flexible as Xiao Zheng's. In fact, her goal was much bigger than Xiao Zheng's. Once they were discovered, the two of them were destined to be trapped in the Zhao family. Not to mention Shen Manjun, even if he wanted to leave, it would be extremely dangerous.
So before the operation, Xiao Zheng used his amazing memory to tell Shen Manjun about the situation of the Zhao family's guards. He also asked her to remember all the details in the shortest time possible.
"There is only one chance. If I fail. It will be very difficult for me to have a second chance to save you. "Xiao Zheng said solemnly. "Do you remember everything?"
"Yes. I remember. "Shen Manjun changed into a tight black leather suit that was convenient for night travel. Her sexy and provocative curves were outlined incisively and vividly.
"No matter what happens, remember all the details I told you. Don't panic, and don't look back. This is my last advice. There is only one chance. If you miss it, he won't give me a second chance, "Xiao Zheng said cautiously.
"Yes." Shen Manjun nodded heavily.
"Let's go."
Xiao Zheng pulled Shen Manjun down from the window and started the operation.
Under Xiao Zheng's guidance, the two of them successfully avoided the guards in the inner layer. Then, when Xiao Zheng approached the periphery, where there were hounds and lights from time to time, he suddenly turned around and rushed in another direction.
Seeing this, Shen Manjun's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she immediately panicked.
"Don't look back, don't panic, rush forward!"
Hearing Xiao Zheng's words before he left, Shen Manjun did not dare to be negligent. With tears in her eyes, she quickly rushed in the direction that Xiao Zheng pointed.
Bang!
Just as Shen Manjun rushed out of the Zhao family and took her first breath of fresh air outside the courtyard, a dull gunshot sounded in the courtyard. The barking of dogs and the commotion of the crowd quickly spread. The lights were on, and it was a mess.
He … What happened to him?
Shen Manjun suddenly collapsed in the corner of the wall. In an instant, she understood Xiao Zheng's overall plan.
In order to let herself escape, Xiao Zheng did not hesitate to take the risk and actively exposed his whereabouts to draw the guards away. It was just for her to successfully escape. To leave this hell-like Zhao family.
But … Could he still come out?
Could she still see him?
