Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"...No one sent me here, uh——" Sang Fuqing replied to Li Huoyue.

Li Huoyue increased his strength.

Sang Fuqing felt like several of his bones had been broken, but he had no time to care. He endured the pain and spoke with difficulty: "... I... I dare not lie to you, ah ah ah, they are ah ah ah... step by step, uh ah ah ah - step by step - pushing you into the pit..."

"They?" Li Huoyue didn't use many words, just repeated these two words with a questioning tone.

Sang Fuqing tried to move, but sure enough, he didn't budge at all under Li Huoyue's grip.

"...Can you please let me go first? I can't run away anyway..."

The fifth brother also came over at the right time and hesitantly advised: "Sixth sister, how about... don't..."

He didn't dare to say anything about Li Huoyue, even though he was considered Li Huoyue's brother, so he could only call her sister in a flattering way, and then changed the angle and said: "...this Mr. Sang's health is not that good..."

Li Huoyue's cold eyes, which were originally staring at Sang Fuqing, moved to Lao Wu's face. Lao Wu quickly shut up and said no more.

With a cold snort, Li Huoyue still chose to lift his foot. Sang Fuqing had no strength now, and he struggled to get up immediately, fearing that he would miss this opportunity.

Li Huoyue spoke again to Sang Fuqing who was tidying up his appearance: "It seems that you know a lot about me. How about making a deal?"

Sang Fuqing smiled bitterly. He had no right to refuse. He nodded and said, "Of course, Sang will tell you everything he knows, but..."

Li Huoyue frowned slightly.

Sang Fuqing continued, "Why don't you go outside and take a look first?"

"What do you mean?" Li Huoyue frowned even deeper.

Playing tricks?

Although she didn't believe that Sang Fuqing could notice the changes in the situation outside before her, she still paid more attention to the situation outside.

She didn't hear anything wrong. It just seemed that the other party acted faster than she expected, and the evacuation time was shorter than she estimated.

"I don't mean anything else, it's just that you may currently... underestimate the strength of others." Sang Fuqing sighed.

Just as he finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps coming towards the courtyard from outside, and the guards in the dark outside the courtyard still did not make any attempt to stop them.

The sound of the rain was so loud that Li Huoyue couldn't tell who it was for a moment.

There were only a few people that the guards wouldn't stop.

The eldest brother, the eldest sister-in-law and the fifth brother are all here. The fourth brother has been sent out. The second brother won't be in such a hurry. The third brother is still outside the door.

Who else could it be?

Just as Li Huoyue was puzzled, someone who came hurriedly spoke at the right time:

“Got it!!!!”

The fourth brother came in the rain, with the same face as the third brother, and appeared at the door in an equally embarrassed manner.

The appearance of the fourth brother made the eldest brother and his wife feel relieved. On the contrary, Li Huoyue, who had been calm just now, asked in surprise: "Why are you still here?!"

"I was abandoned halfway!" The fourth brother said quickly. He could not show any expression on his face, so he stomped his feet to express his anger.

Li Huoyue didn't figure out which step had gone wrong, and took two steps forward in disbelief, asking, "How could this happen? What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything. After I received the hint, I did what I did before. I pretended to resist and then was captured. There was nothing innovative. They had already taken me away, but suddenly they received some order and immediately abandoned me!"

The fourth brother also felt strange. He didn’t think he had done anything wrong.

"You mean... Li Huoyue attacked the cripple? And then she took the initiative to talk about her childhood with her second brother?"

In the attic, a questioning voice came from a high position.

The person who was crawling on the ground and reporting heard the question and answered sincerely: "Yes, the conversation between the two ended only when they were interrupted by the person from Jiang Mansion."

"Doesn't your Coach Zuo find it strange? Li Huoyue seems like someone who can express his true feelings?"

The people below didn't dare to answer and buried their heads even lower.

After thinking for a moment, the person sitting on the second floor platform in the distance asked again: "Have our people been sent over?"

"Yes, after listening to the report, Instructor Zuo selected the fourth young master of the Li Mansion according to the situation. He should have succeeded by now."

"Li Youyou?"

"Yes."

The people on the stage shook their heads in dissatisfaction, "Why did they choose to arrest him?"

The reporter continued to explain, "Coach Zuo said that Li Huoyue and Li Youyou have the best relationship, so it is most appropriate to arrest Li Youyou."

"Don't you know what Li Youyou does?" The man on the stage waved his hand. "If he finds out anything... forget it. Go and ask Coach Zuo to find someone else to kidnap him. The risk of being exposed if we kidnap Li Youyou is too great."

"Yes."

"She seems unconvinced, and looks like she wants to stop you from being given an official title before her..." As Li Huoyue retreated, Sang Fuqing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"So, you control her because you want me to be promoted to an official position smoothly?" Li Huoyue asked again.

Sang Fuqing nodded, trying to look well-behaved and obedient, and not threatening.

Li Huoyue smiled and said, "Don't you think this is contradictory?"

After saying that, Li Huoyue had already started thinking about how to deal with Sang Fuqing later, and the leaves in his hand were squeezed a little harder.

The clan leader knew that he would be given an official title, so he asked Sang Fuqing's mother not to cancel the engagement. However, he controlled Xu Jiao'er so that he could be given an official title smoothly. The "cooperation" he mentioned at the beginning was just bullshit.

You came here late at night just to talk nonsense?

Li Huoyue didn't believe it.

But people cannot kill now.

Sang Fuqing's attention was completely on Li Huoyue's hand. Seeing the leaves in Li Huoyue's hand slowly being clenched, Sang Fuqing's heart also tightened.

He was totally unaware of what was wrong with his words. He laughed dryly and replied, "Haha... no way..."

After hearing the answer, Li Huoyue loosened his grip, letting the leaf slip from his hand, and turned around to return to his seat.

Before the leaf fell to the ground, Sang Fuqing's face changed and he jumped up. With everyone's eyes still on him, he did something that no one would have thought of -

I knelt down instinctively.

Hearing a "bang" sound behind him, Li Huoyue turned around in surprise.

"She seems unconvinced, and looks like she wants to stop you from being given an official title before her..." As Li Huoyue retreated, Sang Fuqing breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.

"So, you control her because you want me to be promoted to an official position smoothly?" Li Huoyue asked again.

Sang Fuqing nodded, trying to look well-behaved and obedient, and not threatening.

Li Huoyue smiled and said, "Don't you think this is contradictory?"

After saying that, Li Huoyue had already started thinking about how to deal with Sang Fuqing later, and the leaves in his hand were squeezed a little harder.
