Chapter 346 Overturning the Table

"As long as I have a breath left, I will never let them succeed!"

Xiao Lu became increasingly angry as she spoke, her emotions were out of control, and her words were full of venom.

Seeing this, even the leader was at a loss and couldn't do anything about it.

The leader was quite helpless, but Xiao Lu saw that the leader didn't say anything, perhaps he misunderstood his meaning.

His heart sank, as if he had made up his mind, and he said to his leader, "Brother, don't worry about it. If they hand you a knife, I'll be the first to rush up and fight them!"

Upon hearing this, the leader naturally realized that Xiao Lu had misunderstood him.

Xiao Lu's words echoed in his ears, over and over again, like a knife piercing his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

To outsiders, Xiao Lu might seem like a very loyal person, but to the leader of the group, it sounded awkward and made him feel uncomfortable.

In Xiao Lu's eyes, he was just a coward who clung to life.

He wanted to survive, but he wasn't someone who would be manipulated without any dignity.

Perhaps, the moment Xiaolu began to doubt him, he clearly understood his importance to Xiaolu.

He remained silent for a long time, offering no further explanation, before slowly saying, "Nonsense!"

This time, he didn't look at Xiaolu again, nor did he know how Xiaolu was feeling. Instead, he pulled Xiaolu behind him.

He knew very well that if he didn't keep Xiao Lu in check now, and if Xiao Lu really got carried away and started fighting Jiang Xian and the other two, he didn't know what would happen to him next.

Therefore, he couldn't care less about Xiao Lu's feelings at the moment and could only continue to deal with Jiang Xian and the other two.

"Young and naive," he quickly said with a forced smile to the three people in front of him.

Xiao Lu was naturally somewhat dissatisfied with the leader's words. Moreover, this time they were facing an irreconcilable enemy, so Xiao Lu could not easily let the matter go.

This matter will not end here. Xiao Lu will not easily let this go, and Jiang Xian and his two companions will not let these thugs off the hook.

Xiao Lu had naturally figured this out, which is why he had the idea of ​​fighting the three of them to the death.

It was precisely because he knew clearly that he himself would not survive.

In that case, it doesn't make much difference to him whether it's a morning or a night.

The leader was indeed disappointed in him, but not to the point of wanting to abandon him.

He was already prepared for Xiaolu's current attitude, and now, after a moment of panic, he has made his decision.

Therefore, he no longer spoke kindly to him as before. Instead, his attitude became serious, and he even pulled Xiaolu without restraint, causing Xiaolu pain.

Xiao Lu was genuinely surprised by the backbone's attitude, but even so, Xiao Lu did not change his mind and stubbornly tried to move forward again.

The leader noticed the actions of the person behind him and was naturally very dissatisfied, so his attitude became even more stern.

He turned around, pushed the person in front of him who was trying to move forward in the chest, and glared at him with a warning look. Xiao Lu had not expected him to make such a move, so he was caught off guard and stumbled back several steps.

Looking into the man's eyes, Xiao Lu was naturally unsure of his attitude. This was the first time he had treated Xiao Lu this way, and Xiao Lu dared not make any rash moves, his eyes filled with confusion.

After all, in Xiaolu's heart, there is still a pillar of support, and this pillar of support is quite important to Xiaolu.

In the past, if only one person truly believed in the title of "backbone" or "second-in-command," it was Xiao Lu.

He genuinely regarded the leader as the team's second-in-command, and he never disobeyed any of the leader's orders.

This time was no different; he wanted to see what the core leader was up to. Deep down, he still wanted to trust the core leader.

Even if it were a true betrayal, he was willing to obey his leader's orders one last time.

This time, it wasn't about the bond between friends and brothers, but rather about treating him as the once spirited and undisputed second-in-command.

After calming down, he decided to listen to the orders of the second-in-command one more time. Even if he had trusted the wrong person, it wouldn't betray the friendship between them in the past. He was prepared for this.

However, the current leader is oblivious to the various changes in Xiaolu's heart.

He turned around, looked at the three people in front of him, and smiled again.

Jiang Xian and the other two were completely unconcerned about what was happening before them; they just wanted to hear what their leader would say next.

However, it seemed as if these people had conspired together. Just as they finished solving one problem and temporarily put aside one of his headaches, another problem came knocking.

Just as the key figure was about to speak to Jiang Xian, another commotion arose outside the wall.

Upon hearing the noise outside, Guard Liu did not hesitate and quickly went out to check the situation.

Soon, the remaining thugs in the team looked at each other in bewilderment, and thus "reunited".

However, to everyone's surprise, there was another person among them who surprised even them – the steward whom they all looked down upon.

They didn't know how Jiang Xian and the other two found this manager, nor did they know how Zhu Zi and the other man had suffered such serious injuries.

They were repeatedly surprised and somewhat panicked, and even the pillar behind the leader frowned deeply, feeling puzzled.

The leader's plan to respond to Jiang Xian's next words had fallen through again, and he could only observe the subsequent developments.

He clearly couldn't voice what was in his heart for the time being; however, he wasn't entirely disappointed or helpless because of this. Instead, he saw a glimmer of hope amidst the uncertainty.

To him, the situation before him seemed to be preventing him from speaking, unfolding and happening one after another before his eyes.

His mind had already drifted elsewhere, seemingly somewhat careless. At this moment, he was making a decision in his heart, a decision different from the one before when he was constantly restrained by Jiang Xian and the other two.

If what he says next still fails to satisfy the three, then he will have no trump cards left. Wouldn't he be letting others extract information from him for nothing, and then handing his life over to them, leaving himself to be manipulated by them?

With this thought in mind, the leader naturally made up his mind and had a vague idea in his heart.

Since we're being controlled by others, being asked to give more and more, and risking our only remaining life being crushed at any moment, we might as well overturn the table...
