C19

After a long time, Tang Lingxi was certain that there was no one outside. Only then did her eyes light up. Within the darkness, her eyes actually lit up like the stars in the night sky.

"What can you do?"

"Help me get the keys out of my pocket."

With great difficulty, Jiang Meili took out a bunch of keys from her pocket. Tang Lingxi bent over and bit off a bit of the key before she twisted it.

Clank, clank …

With a crisp sound, half of the key fell to the ground. Jiang Meili looked at it and was shocked speechless.

The key was separated into two sections. It turned out to be a key-shaped knife. The keylike shell that Tang Lingxi had bitten off fell to the ground, revealing a small blade.

Even though it was small, it was more than enough to break the rope. Jiang Meili immediately understood what Tang Lingxi was implying and immediately felt hope in her heart.

"Why do you have this?"

"These are all necessary conditions for survival."

"How did you get in here? They're going to search it?"

His attention was completely focused on Tang Lingxi as she used a small knife to cut the rope in Jiang Meili's wrist. He proudly explained, "This is almighty, as long as they don't kill me when I come, I'll definitely think of a way to escape. Don't forget that I'm a flower in the south of the city, so I'm the best at this."

"Pfft, what kind of result is that!"

"But because you're a girl, everyone would let their guard down. They all think that no matter how cunning you are, you're still a girl. This kind of gender discrimination is really good."

"That's true. Look at these two, they tied me up from the beginning to the end and threw me here. They even used hemp rope. If you use some solid rope, you probably won't be able to do anything about it."

"It's alright for her to be strong, but it's too much effort." Seeing that the rope was about to be cut off, Tang Lingxi's tone became lighter. "I've cut all kinds of ropes. Only Cheng Linglong called for people to capture me. I can cut off the high grade ropes. Unless they use high technology to capture me …" Who's so stupid as to waste so much time on high-tech? "

Jiang Meili nodded, but her heart was filled with bitterness. Tang Lingxi said it lightly, but this kind of skill could only prove that her previous life was not good.

Before she could say anything, she felt her hand loosen as the rope was cut.

"Hurry up and untie it." Tang Lingxi let out a sigh of relief. With her back facing Jiang Meili, Jiang Meili quickly took off the rope on her body to help her untie it. Soon after, she saw a few red dots on her neck.

"Did you drink?"

"Yeah."

"What for?" Jiang Meili's hands did not stop moving. Previously, she had only smelled a slight aroma of wine, but it had the sweetness of fruit juice. She did not suspect anything, but whenever Tang Lingxi drank the wine, her body would be covered in a little bit of red spots.

"Drinking to boost my courage!"

Tang Lingxi didn't want to think about why she wanted to drink. It was obvious that she wanted to steal some rice and chicken. She originally wanted to tempt him to help her, but she ended up drinking her own wine. That person didn't help at all.

"Hurry, we need to leave quickly."

Jiang Meili nodded her head and untied the rope. Tang Lingxi carefully twisted the key before sneaking to the door.

There was no one outside the door. It was likely that the two girls weren't on guard either. The two of them easily walked through the corridor and encountered difficulties at the stairs.

This was an old house, and the phenomenon of personal improvement was serious. At this moment, both doors were wide open, but Tang Lingxi had forgotten which one went out.

"What's wrong?"

"It's fine, let's go this way. I seem to remember coming in from the right at the time."

"I'll listen to you. It's already pretty good to be able to come out anyway."

Tang Lingxi bit her lips and led Jiang Meili to the right door. There were no guards along the way, but Tang Lingxi was a bit baffled. She followed the stairs all the way down and saw the familiar staircase. Only then did Tang Lingxi speak happily.

"Right, this is the door!"

This was truly an unstoppable road. He had actually come out so easily. At least he had lived up to the reputation of being a genius at escaping.

"They probably never even dreamed that we would actually escape on our own, so they must not be careless, do not be arrogant, and even more so, do not put these small shrimps in their eyes."

Tang Lingxi stepped forward and pushed the door open. She turned her head and boasted proudly to Jiang Meili. The smile on Jiang Meili's face suddenly froze.

"What's the matter with you?" Tang Lingxi pulled open the door and saw a sudden change in her expression. She immediately stopped and secretly rejoiced.

Not...

Tang Lingxi's heart skipped a beat as she turned around to see the fat man standing at the door. His expression was as dark as the night.

Tang Lingxi's heart stopped beating. She looked at the vicious expression on his face. Only after a long time did she finally react and cautiously step back.

"Hello, Brother Fatty. I'm here to familiarize myself with the terrain. I'll be back soon."

Tang Lingxi stood beside Jiang Meili with a coy smile on her face. The fat man was not angry at all as he strode forward.

"It really is Tang Lingxi. The cleverness of the legends has reached the acme of perfection. I almost fell for your trick. How did you escape?"

The fat man was obviously very interested in this. Tang Lingxi swallowed her saliva.

"This is my life saving item. It is not to be spread around."

"Oh, is that so? Then you can't even keep your life anymore."

Tang Lingxi gave a fake smile as the fat man stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. He then took out a military knife from his pocket and placed it against her wrist.

"I've underestimated you, so you no longer have a chance to live."

"What are you trying to do!" Jiang Meili suddenly hugged Tang Lingxi's arm and asked loudly, "Didn't you say we're going somewhere else?"

"Don't be agitated, beauty, don't be agitated."

Tang Lingxi felt as if her heart was in her throat. It didn't matter if she was stabbed, but Jiang Meili was innocent. If this thug was angered and Jiang Meili was implicated, she wouldn't be at ease even if she were to die.

"We are just a woman. Do you really have to kill us all like this?" Jiang Meili tightly held onto Tang Lingxi's arm. "Just what crime have we committed? Do you really have to do this?"

"To us, the words of the financial backer are an order. You can't be blamed for not knowing what's good for you. You have to escape and test the patience of our financial backer."

Tang Lingxi bit her lower lip as she became even more confused. Was the person behind him really not Ouyang Yalan?

But who else had he offended?

But, she couldn't just die like this. She still hadn't avenged her vengeance, and the damned person still hadn't died. How could she die first?!

It was simply a bargain for those assassins who killed their mother!

No!
