Chapter 222: For Friends
"Let's talk about it. Xie Jinchai's tone was full of contempt and indifference, and listening to her tone, she knew that she didn't care about anything Shen Lu said.
However, Shen Lu still adheres to the principle of literature before martial arts. Now that I've said so much here, I still hope that this matter can end in a more peaceful way.
So he said: "Let my friends go, and promise not to harass them again in the future." As long as you can do this, I can guarantee that in the future, whenever it involves the matter of your marriage contract with me, I promise to be the first to stand up against it, and I will resist all the responsibility. I may not be the opponent of the Xie family and the Liu family, but when the day comes when I am forced into a desperate situation by them, it is a big deal that I will cut myself off, and I will die in front of them at that time, in short, no matter what I do, it is absolutely impossible to involve you. In this way, whether you obey the family or rebel against the family, you will never let this plan of succession become an obstacle in your path. ”
Xie Jinchai pursed his lips and said with interest: "It sounds pretty good." But how can I believe that you can do this? In case you go back on your word in the future, who should I go to?"
"If you don't believe it, I can go to the Shen family tomorrow to make this matter public. You must know that the Liu family has always put pressure on me through the Shen family, and if I express my stance to the Shen family, it is naturally equivalent to expressing my attitude to the Liu family. If you still don't believe me, I can even make this matter known to the whole city tomorrow, so that everyone can hear my attitude towards Shen Lu, so that it will always be okay, right? ”
When Shen Lu said this, it was obvious that he was already a little reckless.
To be honest, even if Shen Lu directly turns his face with Xie Jinchai and confronts him head-on, it is better than directly offending the Shen family, the Liu family, and even the Xie family.
But Shen Lu really didn't know how many of his friends fell into the hands of the other party. In case a friend is hurt in the process of fighting, Shen Lu will regret it for the rest of his life. Therefore, I would rather take on greater responsibilities and burdens, but I must also carry this matter over, and I must take responsibility for the safety of my friends.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Xie Jinchai is also one of the victims. Although her actions were a little too impulsive, there was still room for maneuver in the matter, and it had not yet reached the point where she had to lose both.
After listening to Shen Lu's proposal, Xie Jinchai was really a little shaken.
She looked down in contemplation, as if she was making a trade-off.
And at this moment, there was a noisy commotion in the courtyard outside the door.
Xie Jinchai paused for a moment and walked out, Shen Lu also felt a little unusual, so he also walked out of the hall together.
It can be seen that a scarred masked man is throwing the tied Daedalus to the ground, and then the masked man himself is sitting on the ground, panting constantly.
Xie Jinchai frowned and glanced at the subordinates beside him, and then his subordinates walked up to the masked man and asked, "You are going with three people, and you want to arrest Daedalus and Ouyang Zhong." Why is he the only one?"
"It's really unlucky, don't say it!" the masked man angrily took off his mask, and he could see that there were also a lot of scars and blood stains on his face, and it seemed that the injury was not light.
The man gasped and said: "A few of our brothers went to sneak attack these two people, but this white-skinned ghost used an unknown mechanism to plot and magnify the power of a few fire talismans several times, directly blowing up the brain of one of my brothers, and the aftermath also shocked me out of serious internal injuries, cough cough ......"
He coughed several more times.
"Hmph, you deserve it!" said Daedalus, scolding.
"Stinky boy, our ten brothers lived and died together, but now one of them has been lost because of you, you are the enemy of our remaining brothers!
The killer who called himself the third child, after finishing speaking, kicked Daedalus a few times, and then came to Xie Jinchai and hugged his fists and said: "This girl, it stands to reason that you are our financial master, pay us to do things, we shouldn't say any more nonsense." But our brothers went deep into the tiger's den this time, and now there is a loss, is the previous price not very reasonable?"
"It's okay to raise the price. But what about Ouyang Zhong I wanted, what is the use of you only bringing this insignificant person?" Xie Jinchai said with a frown.
The third brother didn't care and said, "When I waited for this kid to come back, my fourth brother was already dealing with that Ouyang Zhong." That Ouyang Zhong was injured by a sneak attack, and when the fireball of this white-skinned ghost exploded, it also affected Ouyang Zhong, presumably he couldn't last long, he should be with me before and after, and bring people to you immediately. And when I left, there was a commotion everywhere in the Ancient Saint Academy, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Ten of us brothers have been used to doing this kind of thing for a long time, and it would have been a breeze to take people away in this chaotic situation. In my opinion, except for the two people caught so far, everyone else should be on the way to be brought. Sister Jin, you can rest assured of this. ”
It can be seen that the third child is still very confident in their ability to kill the Ten Eagles. And this confidence is not groundless, after all, he has just captured Daedalus, a big living man.
Xie Jinchai nodded and said to the third child: "Okay, after the matter is completed, I can double the overall price." After all, it has also caused you to have some casualties, and these compensation should still be deserved. ”
It can be seen that Xie Jinchai seems to be in a very good mood. So she turned her head to look at Shen Lu, then pointed to Daros and Shen Qianhua, and said, "I've been busy for so long, if it's just because of a promise from you, the plan I have laid out for a long time will be wasted." Even if I did, my men, and the people I hire, they wouldn't agree. Besides, I have the upper hand now, and I can catch at least six or seven hostages like this, including your dearest and most loved ones. Why should I agree to your proposal?"
Shen Lu's heart sank, and he didn't know how to persuade the other party. But he still made a final effort and said: "Although my promise to Shen Lu is not very valuable, it is definitely going to the soup and fire, and it will definitely be done! Miss Xie, I beg you, we really don't need to make such a hostile situation." Our philosophy is the same, we're all against the, so why not work together! I've seen your methods, and frankly I don't want to be your enemy. I also hope not to be your enemy. Please think twice before acting. ”
Shen Lu said, bowing his head at the same time, begging bitterly.
There had never been a moment when he was so flustered and worried about the safety of his friends.
But Shen Lu also knew that he must not agree to Xie Jinchai's unreasonable requests, otherwise he would be ordered by the other party to kill his three good friends, which was something that Shen Lu could not do no matter what.
In any ending, it seems that his friends will suffer, so Shen Lu can only pray that the other party can agree to his proposal. It doesn't matter if you become the target of public criticism in the future, as long as your friends won't be implicated because of this.
"Otherwise, forget it, let's do it. In Shen Lu's mind, Xu Wenrui's voice came.
She didn't say a word during this period, she just didn't want her will to affect Shen Lu's judgment. But now, Xu Wenrui felt the panic in Shen Lu's heart and felt his uneasiness, so he suddenly gave advice.
Because from the moment she met Shen Lu until now, it was the first time Xu Wenrui had seen Shen Lu so fragile and panicked.
Shen Lu has always been wise and brave, as if he is not afraid of anything. In the past, no matter how big the difficulties were, they were able to solve them. Over time, Xu Wenrui felt that Shen Lu was the strongest and most perfect person in the world, and nothing could stump Shen Lu.
But now, when Xu Wenrui's consciousness and Shen Lu's necklace realized the thoughts hidden behind Shen Lu's every speech, and realized that Shen Lu's heart beat faster and broke out in a cold sweat because of some extremely small details, Xu Wenrui realized that Shen Lu's heart was so fragile and so afraid. Perhaps it is precisely because Shen Lu is afraid of losing his relatives and friends, and afraid of losing everything he has worked so hard for, that he will continue to become brave and stronger, in order to be able to protect more of the people he loves with the power of one person.
However, when every person he loved was plotted and threatened by others, what could Shen Lu do? He seemed to be unable to do anything, he could only vouch for his own personality and his future.
Because Shen Lu really didn't have anything else to use as a bargaining chip. The proportion of friends in his heart was too precious, and Shen Lu really couldn't find anything else that could be compared to it to hand over to Xie Jinchai.
So when he saw that Shen Lu did not hesitate to use his personality as a guarantee and made an oath, when he was so compromised, Xu Wenrui couldn't bear it anymore.
"Since some of us are bound to die, why not die vigorously?" Xu Wenrui said again: "I believe that no matter any of your friends, they will not watch you give everything for them." They are human beings, they have hands and feet, and they have the heart to resist! Don't do it for them anymore...... No, don't compromise for our sake anymore. We are not cubs attached to your umbrella, we are all people with independent personalities, independent personalities, and desperate cultivation! We don't expect you to protect us, we have been living in order to survive in this world since we lived in this Ten Thousand Laws Continent!"
Xu Wenrui's words immediately made Shen Lu tremble, and at the same time, Shen Lu's mind became very confused.
And at this moment, the third killer who was standing on the side suddenly said to Xie Jinchai: "Sister Jin, I have a proposal, I don't know if you can agree?"
"What proposal?"
"I want to kill this person. As he spoke, he kicked Daedalus again.
