Chapter 1613: A Sudden Sting of Bitterness

The other person's hand was caught in the door crack, and they screamed in pain.

To pull their hand back, the person outside lifted their foot and kicked the door panel hard!

The man outside was burning with rage, wanting to teach the woman inside a good lesson.

Yet, unexpectedly, the moment the bathroom door opened, a burst of unknown liquid sprayed into his eyes!

Another scream!

The culprit took the opportunity to lift their foot and kick hard, landing a direct blow to the man's crotch.

Now, the pain escalated.

But the man was already in too much pain to make a sound.

Seeing that this person posed no immediate threat, Xu Xiaoxiao threw the perfume bottle in her hand to the side and ran out past the man.

She hurried down the stairs, but changed her mind as she neared the front door.

Xu Xiaoxiao turned, followed the first-floor window, and jumped outside.

Soon, the man upstairs walked down, grimacing in pain.

He shouted toward the door, lacking confidence: "Where is that woman?"

Someone was also guarding the entrance; hearing this voice, they poked their head out and responded with a frown: "Aren't you the one dealing with her upstairs? With all that shouting and yelling, you come to me looking for her?"

"She ran away!"

"You... you can't even handle such a small task!"

"Stop complaining; if we don't find her, neither of us will have an easy time!"

The latter spat hard on the ground and then said: "It's impossible for her to have left through the door; I've been guarding it the whole time!"

"Then she must have jumped out the window, hurry and chase her!"

The two of them took off running.

But not long after they left, Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been hiding outside the window, quietly snuck back in.

She knew that staying where she was was dangerous.

But Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know if there were others waiting outside to assist them, and running out blindly was even more dangerous!

So Xu Xiaoxiao decided to stay put

and wait for her friends.

Click—

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was tensed up, the sound of a door opening came from upstairs!

This made Xu Xiaoxiao's heart tighten!

Then...

"Xiao Xiao, did I hear wrong just now? Why did it sound like someone was screaming?"

Cai Xiaotang rubbed her eyes, standing upstairs, preparing to come down.

Seeing her friend, Xu Xiaoxiao was dazed for a moment.

But then, a wave of panic set in!

She was anxious, but said with a smile: "I was watching TV and accidentally turned the volume up too high. Um, you go back to sleep; there might be a little more noise in a bit, don't mind it."

Cai Xiaotang didn't suspect anything and said with a smile: "If I'm really asleep, I won't hear any noise outside, it's fine."

"Mm, then remember to lock the door."

This reminder... it sounded familiar.

Cai Xiaotang thought for a moment and muttered in confusion: "What's wrong with you guys? Why are you all saying that?"

"Because Tiantian and the others are coming over to play hide-and-seek, and if they accidentally rush in, they'll wake you up."

"Oh, those little ones."

Cai Xiaotang didn't think much of it and gave a light laugh.

Xu Xiaoxiao was anxious inside, but didn't show it on her face, only calmly urging: "Go back to sleep; if we keep talking, you'll be wide awake."

"Mm, you're right, I'm going back to my room then."

Cai Xiaotang turned back, and didn't forget to lock the door.

This made Xu Xiaoxiao breathe a sigh of relief, and she prepared to find another hidden spot to tuck herself away.

But before she could find a suitable place, someone rushed in.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked out in panic.

But upon seeing that the person who arrived was Jiang Chenghao, her eyes turned red.

A look of grievance also appeared on her face.

Jiang Chenghao had run back, his breathing ragged.

He looked around, and soon

found the aggrieved-looking Xu Xiaoxiao.

This made Jiang Chenghao ache with pity; he ran over, pulled Xu Xiaoxiao into a tight embrace, and coaxed her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

It would have been fine if Jiang Chenghao hadn't spoken, but at his words, Xu Xiaoxiao felt her eyes sting even more.

But now was not the time for feeling aggrieved; Xu Xiaoxiao still had important things to say!

Xu Xiaoxiao forced back the tears in her eyes and then asked: "You said you were coming back, did the staff member who dropped you off react to anything?"

"I was at a distance from him at the time, he didn't hear me on the phone. I made an excuse to go to the restroom and then ran back. What about your situation here?"

"Someone just pried the door open and got into my bedroom, and even used Xiao Tang to threaten me into coming out. But they thought I had run away and chased after me. Xiao Tang is also in her room, she's fine."

Xu Xiaoxiao spoke very quickly; on the surface, she looked calm.

But that slightly trembling tone still betrayed her panic and unease.

This made Jiang Chenghao feel even more heartache.

He hated those bastards who attempted to harm her to the bone!

Xu Xiaoxiao continued to describe: "There were at least two people on the other side, and they have already chased after them. I need to call the others now and tell them to be careful!"

"I have already called them. By now, they should all be on their way."

Just as Jiang Chenghao said, in less than five minutes, the friends had all returned.

The few children were also carefully protected.

At this moment, there was no sign of ease on anyone's face; instead, they were clouded with gloom.

Especially Li Beijue, whose expression was so dark it could wring out water.

Today was supposed to be his treat, inviting friends over to have fun.

And the result? Someone actually dared to cause trouble on his turf!

They were truly courting death!!

Xu Xiaoxiao still remembered that the hand reaching out toward her had a spider tattoo on it.

She also had an impression of the other party's build and appearance.

She told these things to Li Beijue, and the latter had people search the Shanzhuang based on these clues.

This Shanzhuang was very large; if someone wanted to hide intentionally, it would not be easy to find them.

However, when the Shanzhuang was first built, to prevent tourists from accidentally wandering into the woods and getting into danger, it was equipped with a great number of cameras, like a dense net, monitoring the Shanzhuang.

Therefore, it did not take much effort to find the two suspects.

As for the guy with the tattoo on his hand, Xu Xiaoxiao did not even need to confirm; she could be certain he was one of the true culprits.

As for the other one...

"I don't know anything! You've caught the wrong person!"

Xu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly: "I heard the sound of your voice; it was you!"

"I..."

"Speak, do you have any other accomplices!"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all!"

After hearing this, Li Xiao sneered: "It seems that if I don't let you suffer a little, you won't understand the situation you're in!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiao reached out and dragged this person into a corner.

Then...

Screams rang out one after another, making one's hair stand on end!

Actually, Li Xiao could have let his subordinates do this kind of thing.

But he was too angry!

This group of people actually dared to use his wife to threaten others!?

Not beating them to death was already Li Xiao maintaining his composure!

The man with the tattoo on his hand was trembling uncontrollably at this moment.

He glanced at his companion who had collapsed limply on the ground...

And instantly went limp on the floor!

He was very worried that he would end up with the same fate, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, please spare my life!

"

Li Beijue looked at him with an indifferent face and said: "It's not difficult to want me to spare your life; it just depends on how you perform!"
