Chapter 717 [Under the Brocade 13]
Lu Yi searched the birthday gifts carefully and attentively, leaving no corner untouched. However, after searching for a while, he did not find the important booklet that Guan Xuan used to record his daily life. But with Lu Yi's keen insight and years of experience in handling cases, he firmly believed that the booklet must be in the two boxes of birthday gifts that were missing.
In order to successfully lead out the accomplices behind Sha Xiuzhu, Lu Yi decided to implement a risky move after careful consideration - he ordered his men to withdraw the personnel guarding where Sha Xiuzhu was. In this way, it seemed that the defense was empty, but in fact it was a big net waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.
The night was as dark as ink, and everything was silent. At this time, a small boat quietly approached the shore. Standing on the boat was Sha Xiuzhu's brother Xie Xiao. He jumped onto the big boat nimbly and ran towards the place where Sha Xiuzhu was imprisoned. It turned out that he came here to take away the injured Sha Xiuzhu at night.
On the other hand, after observing all this secretly, Lu Yi did not act rashly. He knew that he needed to remain calm and composed at this moment, and to respond to all changes with the same attitude, so as to better realize his plan. Therefore, he chose to stay put, prepare to take advantage of the situation, and wait for the best time to act.
However, things are always full of surprises. At this critical moment, Yuan Jinxia somehow bumped into Sha Xiuzhu and Xie Xiao.
In an instant, a sharp long knife was placed on her fair neck. Faced with the sudden danger, Yuan Jinxia was frightened and her instinct for survival made her immediately start begging for mercy frantically, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Sister Youyou, help me!"
This shout was not a big deal, but the sound was particularly loud and harsh in the silent night. Youyou, who was not far away, heard the sound and rushed over in a hurry...
At this moment, Lu Yi, who had been hiding in the dark, slowly emerged. Youyou keenly noticed his appearance, quickly turned around and looked at him, and then said: "Lord Lu, given the current situation, how about we each pick an opponent?" Lu Yi nodded slightly to show his agreement, and replied concisely and clearly: "Okay."
Seeing this, Xie Xiao on the side pushed Yuan Jinxia towards Sha Xiuzhu without hesitation, and then pounced towards Lu Yi like a tiger descending from a mountain, and in an instant the two began a fierce fight. On the other side, Youyou flashed and went directly to Sha Xiuzhu who had captured Yuan Jinxia.
Although Sha Xiuzhu was holding a long knife, he was gradually unable to resist Youyou's fierce attack. After a few rounds, he was clearly at a disadvantage. Seeing that the situation was not good, Sha Xiuzhu suddenly pressed the sharp knife in his hand against Jin Xia's fair and slender neck, and threatened viciously: "Let us go immediately! Otherwise, she will die on the spot today!"
Youyou's heart tightened when she heard that. She was afraid of hurting Jin Xia, so she had to compromise and shouted, "Okay! I'll let go, but you must let go of Jin Xia immediately! Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive!" After that, she slowly loosened her hand holding the weapon, but her eyes were always fixed on Sha Xiuzhu to prevent him from doing anything wrong again.
Just when everyone's attention was drawn to other things, Xie Xiao seized the opportunity, and fled the scene as fast as an arrow from a bow. His figure shuttled through the crowd and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
On the other side, Sha Xiuzhu, who was acting with Xie Xiao, saw that his companion had successfully escaped, so he stopped pestering and let go of Jin Xia's hand.
Having gained her freedom, Jin Xia did not dare to delay for a moment. She lifted her skirt and ran towards You You as fast as she could. When she finally arrived in front of You You, she was out of breath and said with lingering fear: "Sister You You, I'm scared to death! It was so dangerous just now!"
Seeing Jin Xia who was still in shock, You You quickly reached out and gently patted her back to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid." Then he hugged Jin Xia in his arms again, giving her more warmth and comfort.
However, Lu Yi, who was standing not far away, saw all of this. For some reason, when he saw how Jin Xia relied on You You and how close they were, he felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. That scene was like a thorn that pierced his eyes, making him feel particularly blinded.
