In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

When Chen Xuli collapsed unconsciously on Su Zhizhi, Su Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief and no longer cared about the person on top of her.

When Su Zhizhi's strength had almost recovered, she stood up, pushed Chen Xuli aside with great effort, and gave herself an injection of antidote. Only then did she feel relieved.

When she turned around, she saw Chen Xuli who was unconscious. Seeing that he did not show any signs of consciousness, Su Zhizhi kicked him directly. In the end, Su Zhizhi was so angry that she spat at him and then fled the private room.

Su Zhizhi didn't know whether Honglulou had determined that she couldn't escape, or whether they didn't want anyone to disturb Chen Xuli's good deeds. There were no guards guarding outside Chen Xuli's room, and the nearest guard was nearly a hundred meters away from the room, which gave Su Zhizhi room to escape.

Su Zhizhi was delighted, but soon became serious again. She had to find a way to escape from Honglu Tower. Right now, she couldn't contact Xie Chengjin at all, and she didn't know what the situation was with Xie Chengjin and the Meng family.

After observing the surroundings, Su Zhizhi decided to attack the kitchen. She approached the kitchen cautiously, where there were only a few busy maids and cooks.

Su Zhizhi calmed herself down, knocked several people unconscious silently, and then dragged them out of the backyard one by one and hid them in a hidden bush. After doing all this, Su Zhizhi stood up and felt that her waist was about to break.

Su Zhizhi looked at the people lying on the ground with a slightly apologetic look and whispered an apology. Then she rushed to the kitchen without stopping.

Fortunately, no one came from the kitchen. Su Zhizhi picked up the kerosene next to her and sprinkled it around the kitchen. Then she set up the equipment on the scene and climbed over the wall of the kitchen.

Before leaving Honglu Tower, Su Zhizhi took out a fire starter from her arms and threw it accurately into a pile of dry straw, and a fire quickly started.

Seeing that the kerosene was effective, Su Zhizhi felt relieved and took a detour to leave Honglu Tower.

While Su Zhizhi was still gloating over her escape, Xie Chengjin was busy and overwhelmed by Su Zhizhi's disappearance.

In the largest restaurant in Jinyi City, Xie Chengjin was sitting in a private room with a frown on his face, pacing back and forth, his whole body revealing anxiety and worry.

Since there had been no news about Su Zhizhi for several days, Xie Chengjin had no choice but to use his own power to investigate Su Zhizhi's whereabouts.

People kept knocking on the door of the box to report on the search. After Xie Chengjin realized that Su Zhizhi was missing, he hurriedly sent people out to look for her. However, his men almost searched the entire Jinyi City, but still couldn't find Su Zhizhi.

Listening to the useless news that kept coming to his ears, Xie Chengjin was furious: "Jinyi City is so small, and you still haven't found the person yet?"

The subordinates looked at each other, no one dared to speak, and they all knelt on the spot, waiting for Xie Chengjin's decision.

Seeing them like this, Xie Chengjin became even more furious. When he was about to say something, the door was knocked again.

"Report! Master, something's happening!" the person outside the door said loudly.

"Come in!" Xie Chengjin's eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice was filled with joy that he himself was not aware of.

"Master, something seems to have happened at Honglulou. A reliable source has reported that a distinguished guest arrived today. However, a few minutes ago, for unknown reasons, a fire broke out in the kitchen. The fire was very strange, and it seemed as if someone had deliberately set it on fire. I heard that Honglulou is also investigating who set the fire."

Upon hearing this, Xie Chengjin's joy was quickly replaced by seriousness and worry, "Honglu Tower? Have you ever explored the interior of Honglu Tower before?" Xie Chengjin had a bad guess in his mind.

The man who had just spoken replied, "Master, no. The person behind Honglu Tower seems to be quite influential. Our people have no way of inserting themselves in, let alone searching. Master, are you saying that Miss Su might be in Honglu Tower?"

The others gasped. Honglulou was a brothel, and they had seen Su Zhizhi's appearance before. If such a beautiful girl was sent to Honglulou, there would basically be only one fate for her.

Xie Chengjin obviously thought of this, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope, feeling that Su Zhizhi would not surrender so easily.

"You guys, come with me to Honglu Tower." After saying that, Xie Chengjin quickly stood up, and the group arrived at Honglu Tower as quickly as possible.

Only a few people stopped not far from Honglu Tower. They hid in the dark at night and watched every move in front of the Honglu Tower quietly.

The Honglu Building, which should have been bustling with people in the past, was now in chaos. Even from the front door, Xie Chengjin could see the flames rising from the backyard of the Honglu Building. People were constantly coming in and out of the door of the Honglu Building, as if they were evacuating the guests inside.

When Xie Chengjin noticed it, Chen Xuli was just being carried out. The effect of the anesthetic seemed to have not worn off yet. Even after such a bumpy ride, Chen Xuli was still in a coma. Following him was the madam of Honglulou.

Xie Chengjin saw Chen Xuli almost at first sight and clenched his fists suddenly. There was a lot of noise in front of Honglu Tower, but Xie Chengjin felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His body had no feeling at all, but his mind was exploding.

"Chen Xuli... How could he be here!" These words were almost squeezed out from between Chen Xuli's teeth. He punched the wall beside him. The men following behind him felt very painful, but Xie Chengjin felt almost nothing.

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally stood up and advised, "Master, calm down. Miss Su hasn't necessarily been murdered yet. The Red Thread Tower is in chaos right now, and it's not a good time for us to intervene. We should go back first and make plans later."

Xie Chengjin finally came to his senses and said, "Let's go back first." At this point, Xie Chengjin knew that there was no point in staying here any longer. The most important thing at the moment was to find Su Zhizhi first.

The assassination of Chen Xuli shocked almost the entire Jinyi City. After he was carried out of Honglu Tower, he was rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion of Jinyi City was almost sleepless all night, with bright lights on. All the doctors in the city gathered in the City Lord's Mansion and tried every possible way to wake Chen Xuli from his coma.

After waking up, the first thing Chen Xuli did was to search the whole city for Su Zhizhi. Chen Xuli now hated Su Zhizhi to the core, and he was determined to grind Su Zhizhi to dust. He deeply regretted not taking ruthless action when he first saw Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi was still searching for a place to stay until the sky gradually brightened. Su Zhizhi heard a lot of chaotic footsteps on the long street, and it seemed that there were still a lot of people.
