Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 318 The Redemption of the Frail Cousin (28)

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed. Lin An has now been stripped of his outer clothes and is tightly bound to the bed in the side room. His patience is wearing thin. At first, he only called out softly into the room a few times, but received no response.

As time went on, his anxiety grew stronger and stronger. Finally, unable to contain his anger, he angrily ripped off the eye patch that was partially covering his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the room was empty; there was no trace of Gu Xiao. Lin An suddenly realized that he had been completely deceived by Gu Xiao!

He was furious and struggled with both hands. With the skills he had honed through years of martial arts training, he quickly and successfully freed himself from his restraints.

After gaining his freedom, Lin An immediately looked around and carefully examined the room. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a window on the second floor near the back alley. He saw that the window had obviously been vandalized, and there was even a wisp of clothing left on the window frame.

Lin An strode forward, grabbed the sash, and examined it carefully. His expression grew increasingly grim.

Unable to contain his anger any longer, he gritted his teeth and roared towards the outside, "You bunch of trash, get your asses in here!"

Just then, Gu Xiao, who was hiding in the shadows, was watching everything that was happening in front of her intently. She watched as the door that had been tightly closed was forcibly broken open by several guards who had been patrolling downstairs.

In an instant, a large number of guards surged into the room like a tide, and in a short while, dozens of people quickly gathered inside.

Lin An dressed as if no one else was around, his gloomy and vicious voice suddenly rang out: "All of you, go and bring that woman back to me. If she dares to disobey, break her legs!"

If an ordinary person were to see their master treating such a beautiful and charming woman with such ruthlessness, they would surely hesitate and waver.

However, for the guards who had followed Lin An for a long time, such things were commonplace and they were used to it.

Therefore, upon receiving Lin An's order, these well-trained guards did not hesitate at all, disappearing from the house like ghosts in an instant.

Even after the guards left, Lin An was still unable to quell his anger. He paced back and forth in the small room, his steps heavy and hurried, as if each step could crack the floorboards.

Just then, an unusual noise suddenly came from the building. Upon hearing this, Lin An's face darkened. He immediately stopped pacing and strode towards the door with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared outside the door.

Gu Xiao, who had been hiding in the corner, watched as Lin An stormed out of the room, and only then did she feel a little relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

She cautiously peeked out, first looking around to make sure Lin An had indeed gone far away and was unlikely to return anytime soon, before she felt safe to act boldly.

Gu Xiao strode to the window Lin An had just rummaged through, pushed it open without hesitation, and then leaped lightly, nimbly vaulting over the window frame and jumping out. However, unexpectedly, she didn't jump straight down to the second floor, but instead made a clever turn in mid-air, landing steadily in the adjacent room like a nimble swallow.

As soon as Gu Xiao landed, before she could even catch her breath, a guard with a knife held a knife to her neck and coldly led her to the man leaning against the couch inside the room.

While going upstairs, Gu Xiao had already observed the layout of the building. It seemed to have only two rooms, but the two rooms were very far apart. She thought the room would be very spacious, but when she entered the room, she found that there was only enough space to fit a bed.

This means there is a dark room between the two rooms. As the saying goes, it is darkest under the lamp. She can get away from Lin An for the time being, but her physical strength is limited and she is naturally no match for Lin An's strong and sturdy guards.

So it's only a matter of time before he gets caught again, and then it won't be so easy for him to escape.

So Gu Xiao decisively chose to hide in the place closest to Lin An. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest. She thought this room was a storage room, but she didn't expect there to be someone inside.

The teasing voice came again from above. This sound was like a thunderclap, striking straight into Gu Xiao's heart, causing her body to tremble slightly involuntarily.

"Cousin, are you... lost again?" As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xiao suddenly looked up and met the man's long, narrow, and teasing phoenix eyes.

The sound of a guqin filled the air, and wisps of smoke rose from the incense burner.

Li Xuanche, dressed in a green brocade robe, propped his head up and looked down at her with a half-smile on his lips.

Although he called her "cousin" in a seemingly intimate way, his eyes were actually icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

In his eyes, Gu Xiao was nothing more than an insignificant ant.

How could it be Li Xuanche?

Li Xuanche, still not wearing court robes but in plain clothes, was hiding in the shadows.

Gu Xiao quickly began to gather her memories of her past life, hoping to make Li Xuanche lower his guard against her.

Just as Gu Xiao was racking her brains about how to deal with the suspicious Li Xuanche, a piercing sound of a broken zither and a faint cough came from behind the jade curtain, breaking the eerie silence.

Li Xuanche seemed to only then remember that there was someone behind the curtain, and hurriedly chuckled and teased, "Bai Zhi has been playing the zither all morning and hasn't said a word to anyone. But as soon as this cousin arrives, she loses her composure?" He then gave a meaningful look at Gu Xiao in front of him before lazily getting up to help her.

As he helped Gu Xiao up, he couldn't help but tease the figure that was faintly visible behind the jade curtain, "Your cousin is afraid I'll eat you up! He's already protecting you as soon as I spoke."
