Chapter 664: The Treasure Recovered After Being Lost
Lu Qing'er laughed even more wantonly upon hearing this: "Don't you always want to know how your grandmother died? I'll tell you! She was angered to death! She was angered to death by my mother!"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Baobao's mind buzzed, and the image of her grandmother dying with her eyes wide open instantly flashed before her eyes.
Lu Qing'er continued to speak.
"Do you know why she was angered to death? I'll tell you! It's because she found out how your parents died! Did you think that car accident was just an accident? No, it was plotted by my mother! And your uncle too! Your whole family deserved it! My family was ruined and destroyed, aren't you the same?"
Lu Qing'er's expression was almost manic as she roared crazily at Jiang Baobao.
Jiang Baobao stood frozen in place, unable to process Lu Qing'er's words for a moment.
What did it mean... that it was all plotted?
Her parents' car accident was not an accident...
Her grandmother's death was not an accident either... but because she had learned the truth...
No wonder she wouldn't even close her eyes before she died!
A tear rolled out from Jiang Baobao's eye socket.
With a "buzz," she heard the last string in her mind snap in an instant.
"Lu Qing'er... I will take your life!"
She whispered Lu Qing'er's name, her expression turning fierce as she prepared to rush forward!
"Baobao! Calm down!"
Cai Xiaotang and Li Beijue hurriedly grabbed her arms, simultaneously glaring at Lu Qing'er, their eyes icy cold.
So many things had actually been done by the Lu Family!
"Lu Qing'er! Your family being ruined is your own fault! Your whole family can just wait to go to hell!"
Cai Xiaotang retorted while pulling on Jiang Baobao, and immediately after, she saw that there were only two and a half minutes left on the bomb around Lu Qing'er's neck.
"Li Xiao! Do you have a way or not!"
She couldn't help it and roared at Li Xiao.
In the earpiece, Mu Liusu finally lost his composure and said in a low voice: "Xiao Tang, don't stay there, go out and hide."
He had taken others to the road ahead as soon as he got out of the car, and was not here at the moment.
Cai Xiaotang was wearing the earpiece, but she acted as if she hadn't heard him, standing perfectly still.
Li Xiao's gaze couldn't help but drift behind him for a moment.
She was risking danger with him again...
At a time like this, given her personality, how could she possibly go out obediently?
Li Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, his expression suddenly turning fierce as his left hand moved slightly.
"I said don't hold a gun! Do you all want to be buried with me!"
Lu Qing'er discovered Li Xiao's movement immediately and pressed Tiantian's head directly against the bomb on her own neck.
"Jiang Baobao, you want to risk your life with me, right? Come on! Let's die together today!"
Lu Qing'er kept provoking Jiang Baobao.
"Baobao, calm down!"
Li Beijue hugged her from behind Jiang Baobao, a dark light suddenly flashing in his eyes.
Half of Jiang Baobao's body happened to block his right hand.
Li Beijue quickly pulled out his handgun and gauged the distance between himself and Lu Qing'er.
Then, pretending to comfort her, he kissed Jiang Baobao on the side of her face and whispered a sentence in her ear at high speed.
Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned, suddenly calmed down, and looked back at him with some hesitation.
Li Beijue gave her a reassuring look, then held his breath.
Two minutes... there was still time.
There was only one chance!
"Jiang Baobao! Come on! Weren't you very impressive just now!"
Lu Qing'er was still roaring wildly at Jiang Baobao.
Suddenly—"Who's outside!!!"
Jiang Baobao suddenly looked sharply toward the window.
Almost everyone turned to look.
Even Lu Qing'er was no exception.
Only Li Beijue remained unmoved, moving quickly to the side.
The next second—Li Beijue pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand.
With a loud "Bang!"
Lu Qing'er's head instantly slammed heavily against the wall.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, as if she didn't understand what had happened.
Red blood slowly seeped from her forehead.
"Her hand!"
Li Xiao suddenly stepped forward two paces and grabbed her hand, which was about to drop and pull the bomb due to inertia.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
The bomb entered the final 100-second countdown.
"Go!"
There was no time to say more; Li Xiao scooped Tiantian out of Lu Qing'er's arms and signaled for everyone to leave.
"Baobao, let's go!"
Seeing that Jiang Baobao was still a bit dazed, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly pulled her along with Li Beijue and ran outside.
In just a few seconds, everyone had evacuated from the room.
No one dared to stop, running straight toward the furthest direction.
Until a "Boom" sound rang out!
After a massive noise, the already somewhat dilapidated manor collapsed in an instant.
Only then did the group suddenly stop in their tracks.
"Whew... is it... over?"
Cai Xiaotang stood where she was, panting, her face still showing disbelief.
"Mm, it's over."
Li Xiao replied, turning around to look at the ruins not far away, his expression somewhat hesitant.
"Xiao Tang, are you alright?"
Mu Liusu's voice came through the earpiece.
"She is fine, no one is hurt."
Li Xiao answered, then immediately ordered the others: "Go check those ruins; I suspect there should be a secret passage inside leading directly to the mountain behind us. The rest of you, go up the mountain and search thoroughly to see if you can find any traces of Poison Snake."
Just as his voice fell, he suddenly felt his arms go empty.
"Tiantian! Tiantian?"
Jiang Baobao had already immediately taken Tiantian from Li Xiao's arms, clutching her to her own chest as if she had been found after being lost.
It was just a pity that the little girl kept her eyes closed the whole time; no matter how Jiang Baobao called her, she refused to open them.
"Tiantian? Tiantian, look at Mommy?"
Jiang Baobao's heart tightened, and her voice calling her name became increasingly panicked.
"Li Beijue, why can't Tiantian wake up? What's wrong with her? Does she need to see a Doctor? We have to take her to the Hospital!"
Jiang Baobao looked at Li Beijue helplessly, her face full of distress.
"Baobao, don't be anxious yet, let me take a look at Tiantian."
Li Beijue comforted Jiang Baobao while taking Tiantian into his own arms.
He tested the little girl's breathing, pondered for two seconds, and then reassured her: "Poison Snake wanted to take Tiantian away just now and was likely afraid she wouldn't be obedient, so he fed her some sedative. She should wake up after a while. Don't be anxious yet, let's take her home first..."
"Okay, let's go home!"
Jiang Baobao nodded and, without another word, pulled Li Beijue toward where the car was parked.
Seeing this, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly followed, but after two steps, she stopped.
"I'll leave this place to you."
She said in a low voice to Li Xiao before leaving.
In the car—Jiang Baobao held Tiantian tightly, not letting go for a single moment.
She carefully kissed Tiantian's little face and gently used her hand to tidy up her messy little braids.
"Baby, Mommy is taking you home..."
