Chapter 1037: Don't Let Him Escape

Several people took a few more steps back.

Abai and Xiao An watched the people opposite them vigilantly, their eyes subconsciously scanning the surroundings at the same time.

Li Xiao, meanwhile, had been keeping his attention on the direction of the corner.

Immediately after, he saw a gun barrel suddenly poke out from there, pointed directly in their direction!

His expression turned stern, and without hesitation, he threw the object in his hand straight toward that spot!

"Boom!!!"

A massive explosion rang out, accompanied by white smoke that burst forth instantly!

A buzzing sound filled Cai Xiaotang's ears; before she could react, she felt a heavy push on her back!

"Run!!!"

Li Xiao's low roar sounded in her ear, and Abai and Xiao An reacted in an instant, rapidly pulling Luo Wanwan back.

"Then what about you?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Li Xiao's wrist without hesitation.

Why let her run alone?

Then what about him?

She gritted her teeth and pulled Li Xiao toward the outside.

Yet she clearly felt that he seemed somewhat unable to keep up, only barely managing to match her pace.

Cai Xiaotang felt a shock in her heart, followed by an overwhelming surge of heartache.

It must be because of the wounds on Li Xiao's body that he was...

Regardless, no matter what, she had to get out with him!

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out by her ear, seemingly grazing past her and pinning directly into the wall.

Cai Xiaotang, however, could not care less; there was only the exit right before her eyes.

As long as she got out of here...

Once out, she could...

Within her line of sight, there seemed to be only that tiny bit of light ahead.

The next second—she saw a familiar figure appear at the doorway.

It was Mu Liusu!!!

"Brother!"

Cai Xiaotang's eyes instantly turned red; as if she had seen a savior, she pulled Li Xiao and stumbled toward him!

Mu Liusu had no time to speak, quickly scanning her to confirm she wasn't injured, only then setting his mind at ease.

He had heard the sound of the explosion, which was why he had brought men to charge in directly.

"Shadow Fiend."

Abai and Xiao An brought Luo Wanwan before Mu Liusu.

The moment she saw Mu Liusu clearly, Luo Wanwan's eyes immediately became even more frantic.

It was actually him...

He and Cai Xiaotang were actually siblings?

How could this be possible!!!

She had clearly checked Cai Xiaotang's background back then; she was nothing more than an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary!

Luo Wanwan glared viciously at Cai Xiaotang, who was now being protected by Mu Liusu, and then suddenly understood something.

Heh...

It must be Li Xiao.

Li Xiao had tampered with her identity so that she wouldn't be in danger!

What was so good about that woman!

Worthy of him protecting her so carefully!

Cai Xiaotang pulled Li Xiao to stand behind Mu Liusu, no longer paying any mind to Luo Wanwan.

Gunshots continued to ring out; it was Mu Liusu's men who had charged in and engaged the other side in battle.

Yet in her eyes, there was only the person before her.

"Thank goodness you're alright..."

The tears Cai Xiaotang had been holding back the whole way finally fell, and she hugged the person before her tightly.

Li Xiao wrapped his arms around her tightly, his heart, which had been hanging high, finally settling down.

What he wanted to say was also this very sentence.

Thank goodness.

Thank goodness she was alright.

"Don't move, and don't look; we can go home in a moment."

"

Li Xiao coaxed Cai Xiaotang in a low voice, not wanting her to see the mist of blood permeating behind them.

Cai Xiaotang nodded obediently, nestling into his embrace.

Neither of them spoke again, nor were extra words needed; they just hugged each other quietly, seemingly able to feel all of the other's emotions.

Until the gunshots inside stopped abruptly, as if they had been forcibly interrupted!

Mu Liusu's brow furrowed, guessing that perhaps something had happened inside.

Cai Xiaotang was also stunned for a moment, but she obediently listened and did not look back.

Immediately after—she suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps.

It seemed that the people who had just rushed in had all retreated for some reason.

Then—"Shura, you're just going to run away alone? What, don't you want your good brother anymore?"

A man's arrogant voice rang out, shouting loudly at Li Xiao.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on everyone's faces changed abruptly.

Cai Xiaotang was also stunned upon hearing this, and almost uncontrollably, she turned her head back.

She saw a person covered in blood and filth, tied up tightly, being pushed out stumbling!

He was leaning to one side, and it seemed he was using all his strength just to stand.

Staring blankly at the person for a few seconds, Cai Xiaotang then suddenly widened her eyes.

"Lao Si..."

She whispered, her mind going somewhat blank.

Only then did she realize with a start that, apart from Li Xiao, she hadn't seen a single other person!

Laoqi was still in the Hospital receiving treatment.

But what about Lao Wu and the others?

If Luo Wanwan had only captured Li Xiao, it was impossible for them not to have returned to report the news.

Since they hadn't appeared now, could it be that they had already been... by Luo Wanwan?

Cai Xiaotang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding slowly welled up from the bottom of her heart.

Li Xiao's expression was even more tense, his fists clenching until they cracked.

Given the situation just now, they really had no time to go find Lao Si.

With Cai Xiaotang there, he could not take the risk...

If they wanted to use Lao Si to exchange for Luo Wanwan...

Li Xiao was just thinking this when the next second—"Shura, you probably don't want to watch this man die, right?"

The opponent pressed a gun directly against Lao Si's head and asked loudly, looking triumphant.

Then, without waiting for him to speak, they directly stated their terms: "Trade this person for Wanwan, and let us leave. Not a bad deal, right? After all, you only have this one good brother left."

"What..."

Cai Xiaotang's body swayed, and she nearly lost her footing.

The premonition she had felt just a moment ago was confirmed by the other party's words.

Only this one left...

That meant Lao Wu and Lao San were already...

Her tears couldn't be held back and surged down; she almost didn't dare to imagine what Li Xiao's state of mind was at that moment.

No more people could die...

No matter how they had originally planned to deal with Luo Wanwan, Lao Si had to be saved!!!

And the injuries on his body didn't look like they could be delayed any longer...

"Brother..."

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but call out to Mu Liusu.

Mu Liusu, however, did not speak.

Even Li Xiao, who was beside her, did not open his mouth.

Having finally captured Luo Wanwan, they naturally didn't want to let her go like this.

But right now, if they wanted to save Lao Si, they had no choice but to agree to their terms first, and then think of other plans to ensure that even if they wanted to escape, they wouldn't be able to leave their sight, so they could capture them again!

But if they did that...

What everyone would have to face would be an unknown outcome once again.

But, they couldn't leave him unsaved.

The air was deathly silent.

The other side didn't urge them either, seeming certain of victory in this matter.

After a long while—"Fine."

Li Xiao and Mu Liusu spoke at the same time.

But just at this moment—"Don't agree to them!!!"

Lao Si, who had been silent all along, suddenly erupted, his eyes—hidden behind the blood and filth but still shining black—looking straight at Li Xiao!
