"How...how can I help you?"

Xuan Yuanxue raised her teary eyes and stared at him blankly. Could he really help with something like this?

"There is a way to temporarily alleviate the problem, but Xue'er might have to put in more effort. Are you willing?"

Lu Yunqi raised an eyebrow and whispered, his lips moving from her ear to her neck...

"Lu Yunqi, wait a moment, let me think about it..."

Xuan Yuanxue raised her hand and took the initiative to hug Lu Yunqi's neck, carefully feeling around, searching for the self-defense techniques that her fifth brother had once told her.

Receiving no response, Lu Yunqi's rationality gradually crumbled. With a ripping sound, Xuan Yuanxue's dress was torn open, instantly revealing her flawless white bodice to Lu Yunqi's eyes...

In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yuanxue took a deep breath and used all her strength to knock him unconscious. Lu Yunqi lost his balance and all his weight fell on her.

Xuan Yuanxue felt like she was about to choke, and it took a lot of effort to push him off her.

Blood was still seeping from Lu Yunqi's back, mingling with the rainwater as it slid down. His underpants were torn in several places, revealing gruesome wounds to the touch.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Xuan Yuanxue dragged Lu Yunqi's body towards the half that could barely provide shelter.

Looking at her tattered clothes, torn to shreds and obviously unwearable, Xuan Yuanxue picked up Lu Yunqi's outer robe that he had thrown aside and put it on.

These wounds need to be treated, right? What if they get infected? After all, it's still unknown when they'll be rescued.

Xuan Yuanxue tore her tattered outer robe into strips and used them to bandage Lu Yunqi's wounds.

To prevent him from waking up and causing trouble again, Xuan Yuanxue first tied up his hands and feet.

But every time Xuan Yuanxue inadvertently saw that bulging thing, she felt a little embarrassed and her heart would race.

Why does that thing look so ferocious? And Brother Lu doesn't seem as weak as the rumors say. Who spread these rumors?

Realizing what she was thinking, Xuan Yuanxue blushed instantly. How could a princess like her think of such shameful things?

"Bei Chu, Bei Mu, go and control Aunt Xue and Yu Ke'er. If there are any other people involved, leave no one alive!"

Lu Jingchuan's face darkened, and he gave a stern command.

"I obey my orders!"

The room on the first floor was empty. Da Huang led the two of them directly to the second floor following the scent. As soon as they kicked the door open, a strong smell of blood hit them, and Song Qingqian and Lu Jingchuan's expressions changed instantly.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Big Yellow rushed to the window and barked loudly, then leaped out of the broken window.

Lu Jingchuan hurriedly followed, grabbed Song Qingqian tightly, and jumped down anxiously.

A large pool of blood instantly came into their view. Song Qingqian squatted down and examined it carefully, concluding that:

"He looks badly injured, but at least his life is safe since he escaped."

"Oh no, it's raining! Big Yellow, hurry and find someone!"

As Song Qingqian watched the raindrops falling from the sky, her heart sank. She could only silently pray that the rain wouldn't be too heavy.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Following the trail of blood, Da Huang leaped onto the courtyard wall and jumped down.

The two men, after leaping over the wall, were stunned by the endless wasteland. Searching aimlessly in the rain seemed like an impossible task…

“Qianqian, it’s extremely unsafe here. Beiying and I will take Dahuang to find someone first. You go and inform Sun Wuyin. With Aunt Xue and her daughter as hostages, he will definitely send more soldiers to search. More people means more power.”

"Now is not the time to assign blame; finding the right person is the priority."

Song Qingqian knew this was the safest approach, so she nodded and instructed:

"The terrain here is chaotic, so please be careful."

"Ok!"

After Lu Jingchuan finished speaking, he went to chase after Dahuang, but the rain was getting heavier and showed no signs of stopping. As Dahuang searched, it started to turn back. Lu Jingchuan knew that the scent must have been washed away.

"Master, there's movement over there!"

A moment later, Bei Ying escorted a suspicious-looking person to Lu Jingchuan.

"Judging from their attire, they are innkeepers; they must be the ones chasing after Second Master."

Lu Jingchuan raised his foot and kicked the waiter viciously. The waiter immediately fell to the ground and coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Jingchuan stepped on the waiter's back, gritting his teeth as he demanded, "Where is he? Where was he taken?"

"I...I don't know! They escaped, and we haven't found them."

"Who ordered you to arrest them?"

"Ahem... It's the shopkeeper. Last night, a woman slept with him all night and then said she had a good deal to offer him."

As a result, our manager was beaten by the woman who brought him in tonight, and a man rushed in. The two of them jumped out of the window and escaped. The manager told us that we must catch them and bring them back.

But they escaped into this place and then disappeared. We didn't catch them, so we can't go back and report..."

"Sir, spare our lives! I'm just a lowly shop assistant; I truly didn't intend to harm them. Sir, ignorance is no excuse..."

Lu Jingchuan's eyes flashed with a brutal ruthlessness, like a bloodthirsty beast, as he spoke in a cold tone:

"Since you can't go back, then don't go back. You deserve to die for aiding and abetting evil!"

Lu Jingchuan crushed the man's heart with a powerful stomp, killing him instantly.

Lu Jingchuan's gaze swept over Bei Ying like a venomous snake, and he spoke in a low voice:

"Leave no one alive here!"

"Yes!"

The Beijing Film Academy received the order and quickly disappeared.

Lu Jingchuan looked at the weeds, which were more than half a person tall, and said loudly:

"Second Brother..."

“Lu Yunqi…”

……

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, and Lu Jingchuan's voice is almost hoarse from shouting, but the only response he gets is the sound of raindrops falling on the leaves and weeds...

"Young Madam, Yu Ke'er has been found. She was hiding in the shopkeeper's room and was too afraid to come out, so I dragged her out."

When Bei Chu saw Song Qingqian return, he hurriedly dropped Yu Ke'er at Song Qingqian's feet and explained.

"You schemed against them? Yu Ke'er, you have some nerve! Have I been too lenient with you lately?"

Song Qingqian pulled out the dagger and stabbed the spot where Lu Yunqi had just pierced her. Yu Ke'er instantly felt like she had lost half her life in pain.

Her voice trembled as she spoke, "I did it. Lu Yunqi despised me, he deserved to die. Why did he have the right to love someone else? I wanted to make them suffer unrequited love, to make them die..."

"You don't want to live anymore, huh? Then I'll grant your wish!"

Song Qingqian twisted the dagger forcefully, and Yu Ke'er screamed in agony. Everyone in the inn peeked out in fright, only to quickly duck back inside...

Seeing Yu Ke'er faint, Song Qingqian spoke coldly:

"Bei Chu, take the man to Sun Wuyin's room."

Sun Wuyin was excitedly sweating on Jiang Meier's body when suddenly the door was kicked open with a bang. He instantly shuddered and deflated.

"Song...Song Qingqian, what are you doing..."

"Settling accounts!"

Song Qingqian walked to a chair, sat down, and watched the battle unfold between the two...
