Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Life and Death Moment (5)

Xiaoliu felt a wave of fear, worried that she would be the only one trapped here, just like Li Changzhi who had run out one by one.

"Don’t you dare compare me with her!" Zhong Qiaohui said proudly, looking down on her.

Xiaoliu was frightened by her gaze and abruptly shut her mouth.

Tang Qingzhong walked to the base of the wall, placed both hands on it, and let Zhong Qiaohui step on his shoulders to climb over the wall.

Zhong Qiaohui was tall, and her agility took everyone by surprise. After taking off her high heels, she climbed onto Tang Qingzhong’s shoulders, and in just her stockings, scaled the wall that was rough enough to tear skin at any moment.

Gu Nuan watched her and thought to herself, "This lady is really different from Su Yixia and Li Changzhi."

Everyone watched her climb over the wall. Then, from the other side, Zhong Qiaohui softly said, "Wait for me to come back!" After those words, her voice disappeared behind the wall.

Seeing her run away, Xiaoliu suddenly had a thought and thus stood up and walked to Tang Qingzhong’s side.

Tang Qingzhong knew what she intended by her action and deliberately asked, "What’s wrong?"

Xiaoliu pointed at his shoulder and with a flirtatious glance like that of Daisy Duck to Donald Duck, she said, "I’m just worried she might run away again. Having one more person out there to call for help means an extra chance at life, right?"

Tang Qingzhong stared at her with round eyes: I have never seen someone so shameless!

Xiaoliu couldn’t understand why, if everyone could climb over the wall and escape, they didn’t all follow.

Actually, there was no need to ask. It was clear that Fu Yubo’s injury could not be moved around carelessly at this moment, much less climb over the wall.

Feeling the injured person’s hand grow colder because of Xiaoliu’s words, Gu Nuan took his hand and said, "Senior, rest assured, I will absolutely not leave you."

Fu Yubo lifted his gaze, his eyes fixated on Gu Nuan without moving, as if she was the only person in his entire world.

A thought suddenly flashed through Wa Zicong’s mind: Could there be something between these two?

No, it couldn’t be. Before, there were no signs of any intimate relationship between Gu Nuan and Fu Yubo.

But her words made it seem as if her decision to come back and rescue the rest of them had nothing to do with Wa Zicong at all.

Wa Zicong looked back at Fu Yubo again, feeling a strange sensation creeping into his heart. Could it be that he was jealous?

He had never felt jealous over her in the many years they had been together. Looking back, it was because everyone knew they were a couple, and Gu Nuan was a conservative girl who didn’t flirt or frolic outside.

Most importantly, Wa Zicong had never thought that anyone other than himself would be able to discover the beauty in this deaf-mute girl.

Just then, sounds of people came from the alley they had escaped through before.

Footsteps and murmurs.

It seemed those from the KTV had searched for them half the day and eventually tracked them to this back alley.

A man’s voice said, "Boss Zhou, they couldn’t have escaped from here. We have people at both ends of this alley."

Gu Nuan and the others couldn’t help but feel relieved upon hearing this; if they had indeed run down this alley to the end at the beginning, they probably would have met with a fatal end.

Boss Zhou was obviously referring to Tengguang’s General Manager Zhou.

"You say they couldn’t escape from here? We can’t find a trace of them anywhere! Did they just vanish into thin air?" Boss Zhou’s angry voice sounded as though it was boiling with rage.

Actually, up to this point, Gu Nuan and the rest still couldn’t understand why the boss of Tengguang would suddenly turn hostile against them. Hadn’t they sold the company to Changda already?
