Chapter 662: Lu Qing'er Has Been Abandoned

Lu Qing'er was stunned upon hearing this, unable to react for a moment to what Viper meant.

Immediately after, she heard Viper continue, "All of you, hold Xiaoshi down together."

No sooner had his words fallen than his trusted aides acted at once, pulling Xiaoshi, who had been shielding Tiantian, away, pinning his arms down, and then chopping at the back of his neck with a palm strike!

"Father!!!"

Xiaoshi's eyes widened abruptly, but he only had time to let out a single cry before fainting.

Lu Qing'er finally reacted, a flash of excitement suddenly appearing on her face.

"Thank you, Second Master!"

She thanked him and hurriedly picked up the bottle, her expression fierce.

If she couldn't get out today, it wouldn't be bad to have that slut's daughter be buried with her!

Lu Qing'er quickly poured a few rice-grain-sized pills out of the bottle.

Then she pulled Tiantian up and shoved them all into her mouth!

A dark glint flashed in the depths of Viper's eyes as he watched her finish everything, then he said softly, "Qing'er, come here, I will tell you how we are going to get out..."

"We can still get out?"

Lu Qing'er was startled; she hurriedly walked toward Viper and crouched down in front of him.

Viper's complexion was somewhat pale as he whispered, "Close your eyes, I... have something to give you."

Lu Qing'er did not doubt him at all; she closed her eyes readily, unable to help feeling a bit pleased.

What could this old guy want to give her at a time like this?

Could it be something like a family heirloom? After they escaped... her status could be made official, and then she could bear him a son...

Just as Lu Qing'er was fantasizing, she heard a "click" in the next second.

Her neck felt cold, as if something had been fastened onto it.

She was stunned for a moment, then opened her eyes abruptly, subconsciously wanting to reach out and touch it.

"Don't move."

Viper stopped her movement.

Lu Qing'er subconsciously remained still.

Viper braced himself against the wall to stand up and gave his trusted aide a look.

The man was slightly taken aback, his expression somewhat strange, but he instantly understood Viper's meaning; he said nothing and nodded lightly.

Then he stepped forward twice, suddenly twisted Lu Qing'er's arms behind her back, and covered her mouth!

"Mmph! Mmph!"

Lu Qing'er struggled desperately, her eyes wide open, having understood something by now.

Was Viper going to leave her behind and go alone?

How dared that old thing!

A trace of despair stained Lu Qing'er's eyes, and then it suddenly turned into terror.

What was that thing he had just put around her neck!

Lu Qing'er's brain was in complete chaos.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Viper had already had someone pick up the still-unconscious Xiaoshi.

"Ten minutes."

Viper dropped these three words and, without looking back, led his men toward the direction of the basement.

This was the last path that could lead them out.

The people from the Dark Gate might storm in at any moment... to survive, he had no choice but to abandon some things.

And since Lu Qing'er had a grudge against that little girl, as long as that little girl was in her hands, those people would definitely not dare to act rashly!

Only then could he enter the mountain through the secret passage and find a way to leave this place!

If they had time to save Lu Qing'er, he would be able to slip away with his men...

If they didn't save her, once the bomb timer ran out, it would certainly blow up this manor as well!

Then no one would ever discover the existence of the secret passage!

It was just that they had nothing on them now... and no vehicles...

He really never expected that one day he would be reduced to the point of needing this secret passage...

If one really wanted to cross the mountain from here to leave, it would take a full two days... and one would have to avoid the mountain roads that were originally accessible by car...

Viper gritted his teeth, quickly arrived at the basement, and opened the mechanism.

A soft sound came from behind an old cupboard.

His figure disappeared behind a small door that was just large enough to accommodate one person.

A few seconds later, everyone left together, the sound of the mechanism rang out again, and the entire room showed no signs of anything unusual.

Upstairs—at this moment, only two of Viper's subordinates remained, along with Lu Qing'er and Tiantian.

Lu Qing'er was tied to an old chair.

One of her hands was wrapped around the back of the chair.

Tiantian was lying on her lap, and then was tied together with her other hand, circle by circle, with another rope.

"Let me go! You surnamed Shi! You dare to abandon me and run! You bastard! You won't die a good death!"

Lu Qing'er cursed incessantly.

The two men behind her remained silent throughout; after finishing all this and tidying up the scene, the two exchanged a look, then turned around swiftly, scanned the area vigilantly, and also disappeared in the direction of the basement.

Outside the warehouse—Jiang Baobao's hands were already covered in cold sweat.

"Li Xiao, what should we do next?"

Not knowing what the situation was like inside the warehouse now, Jiang Baobao felt her heart hanging in her throat.

Nearly ten minutes had passed since the Viper escaped into the room.

"Shura, should we continue to approach? At this distance, we can break through."

Someone whispered into Li Xiao's earpiece.

Li Xiao's expression was stern, and he was also struggling intensely within himself.

Given the Viper's personality... since he didn't kill with a single blow just now, he would never resign himself to his fate like this.

He must be trying to find a way to use Tiantian to negotiate terms with him right now...

Otherwise, he would have rushed out in a fit of rage just now and taken Tiantian's life directly!

But doing this now was no different from gambling...

"Get closer, it would be best if we can see what the situation is inside the room..."

Li Xiao still chose to approach cautiously, staring at the direction of the house with his brows tightly locked.

The curtains on the windows there were all drawn, making it impossible to see the situation inside at all.

"Shura, there's a situation!"

A report came through Li Xiao's earpiece again.

"We seem to hear someone shouting in the house; judging by the voice, it's a woman, and she is scolding the Viper..."

The person reporting sounded somewhat puzzled.

Li Xiao was also stunned for a moment, unable to react for a second.

"Scolding someone? What did she say?"

There was a moment of silence in the earpiece, then another person reported: "I seem to have heard it too, but I can't hear it very clearly. It should be that the people inside are having an internal conflict; now might be a good time to break through!"

Li Xiao clenched his fist abruptly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, and he gritted his teeth as he ordered: "Move!"

As soon as the words fell, he himself charged out directly!

The group of people jumped out from their hiding places one after another, not choosing to charge through the front door, but instead rushing directly toward the dilapidated windows from all directions!

"Clang!"

Several windows that were already dilapidated fell off one after another.

However, no one was found in the Main Hall.

Everyone's guns were pointed in one direction.

That was Lu Qing'er, who was tied up in the Main Hall.

"Ha..."

Lu Qing'er sneered, and the surprise of being startled on her face quickly turned into mockery.

"Are you here to save this damn girl?"

Her hands were tied together with Tiantian's, forming a posture where she was holding the little girl in her arms, and she stared at the people who had rushed in with a face full of vigilance.

Li Xiao did not speak; his gaze swept quickly over Lu Qing'er, and suddenly, it turned sharp.

What was strapped to this woman's neck... was a time bomb!
