Chapter 359: Because You're Worth It
Suddenlyβ
"Boss, it looks like someone has broken in outside!" One of his men hurried in.
The masked man glanced at Xia Ruxing coldly, pulled out the pistol hidden in his waist, put it against her head, and asked dangerously with squinted eyes, "What did you do?"
He had thought there was something wrong with that phone call, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Now these people outside must have nothing to do with her.
Xia Ruxing remained silent, and even sneered: "I'm tied here by you, what else can I do?" Maybe the one who came here is your enemy? β
The masked man didn't speak strangely, and said gloomily for a long time: "No matter who comes, I will let him come and go!"
Xia Ruxing's heart trembled, and her fingers were tightly clenched together.
Could it be Jiang Cheng who came? Did he call the police, otherwise how could he have found out here so quickly.
Xia Ruxing's head was in a mess, and his heart kept pounding. Although she was not familiar with him, she did not want him to get hurt.
I don't know how long it has been, it seems like a long century, Xia Ruxing suddenly heard a gunshot outside the warehouse!
Bang!
Xia Ruxing's heart also trembled violently, and she struggled desperately to escape, but her hands and feet were tied to death, and she couldn't move at all!
Soon, the strong smell of blood reached her nose, irritating and unpleasant.
Xia Ruxing stiffened and before she could react, a tall figure pounced violently, and then choked her throat!
"Don't come here! Or I'll kill her! The gun in the masked man's hand didn't know where to go, and he raised his voice in a panic!
Xia Ruxing was forced to turn his back to the person who came, and he didn't know who the person who forced the masked man to this job, and thought it was Jiang Cheng, so he hurriedly shouted: "Jiang Cheng!" Don't come here! He still has a knife in his hand! β
The masked man held a fruit knife that he had found out of nowhere, and pressed it against her throat, leaving a slight blood mark.
Xia Ruxing endured the pain and didn't dare to move, so she could only be threatened by the masked man.
In the end, it came to this step that she least wanted to see.
"Who is Jiang Cheng?" A cold familiar voice suddenly came, causing Xia Ruxing to shake suddenly.
It's Lu Shenxiao!
This is Lu Shenxiao's voice!
The masked man laughed out loud for fear that the world would not be chaotic: "Lu Shenxiao, you shouldn't be cuckolded, right?" As he spoke, he turned Xia Ruxing around and controlled her in his arms, preventing her from escaping.
Xia Ruxing finally saw the face of the person who came, dressed in a black suit, with a cold face, and a black pistol in his hand, it was her Lu Shenxiao.
Tears fell down the bridge of her nose, and Xia Ruxing's heart beat even more violently than just now, because she saw that he was covered with blood, and she didn't know if he was injured.
Lu Shenxiao calmly held the pistol, his eyes were calmer than ever, and he said in a deep voice: "My people have surrounded this place, you can't escape."
The masked man was shot, which was the end of the crossbow, and the reason why he used Xia Ruxing as a threat was just to gain more time to delay. He had secretly informed his brother that he believed that someone would come to pick him up soon.
"Let her go, and I can spare your life." Lu Shenxiao said without blinking, and gently pulled the trigger.
"Lu Shenxiao, do you dare to shoot?" The masked man smiled insolently and brought the fruit knife close to Xia Ruxing's neck.
The blood stains became more and more obvious, and Lu Shenxiao's eyes were bottomless.
The atmosphere was eerily tense.
Xia Ruxing frowned painfully, but still didn't say a word.
"Lost the gun! I'll just say it once! "The masked man is vicious and threatening!
"Shen Xiao......" Xia Ruxing called him in a hoarse voice, and tears couldn't stop flowing out. It's all her fault, if it weren't for her being careless, Shen Xiao wouldn't have faced such a difficult choice.
Lu Shenxiao no longer hesitated, and dropped the gun neatly.
With a click, the pistol hit the ground.
The masked man was very proud: "Lu Shenxiao, now kneel down and beg me, maybe I will let her go."
He couldn't get Lu's shares, but he didn't want him to live so happily!
Lu Shenxiao stared at him for a moment, and the cold in his eyes was as deep as a mountain.
"Don't ......," Xia Ruxing muttered, and the dense pain spread to his whole body. He is proud, and he should not break his dignity because of her.
"What are you waiting for! Do you want her to die?! The masked man pressed him frantically, his eyes full of smugness.
Lu Shenxiao's eyes paused for a long time on Xia Ruxing's injured neck before he said in a deep voice: "It's okay for me to kneel, you put down the knife first."
The masked man's mind flickered, and he moved the fruit knife from Xia Ruxing's neck to her temples with a smile. It was only half a finger's away, and with the slightest movement of him, she could die instantly.
Lu Shenxiao's pupils shrank, and the calmness he had been trying his best to maintain was momentarily relaxed: "What do you want to do?!"
"Lu Shenxiao, you are not qualified to negotiate with Lao Tzu at all, kneel down!" The masked man gave him an indifferent look.
Now, there is no better way, you can't just watch Ruxing get hurt.
"Shen Xiao don't ......" Xia Ruxing's heart was like a knife, and he couldn't wait to rush in front of him and drag him up.
Lu Shenxiao closed his eyes, and was just about to kneel, when Liu Guodong, who was quietly approaching from behind the masked man, suddenly exerted his strength and pounced the masked man forward with lightning speed!
"Mr. Lu! Shoot! β
Lu Shenxiao reacted very quickly, rolled over, picked up the pistol on the ground, and calmly shot in the direction of the masked man.
But the masked man was clearly well-trained, and quickly ducked behind a pillar on the side.
Xia Ruxing was tied hand and foot, and he couldn't move at all. But in the end, he was out of the masked man's control, and he was gasping for air.
Suddenly, a loud horn sounded outside the warehouse.
The masked man's eyes lit up, knowing that it was his brother who had come to pick him up. Immediately, he was no longer fighting, but hooked his lips with strange eyes: "Xia Ruxing, I have prepared a big gift for you."
After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to react, dragged his injured right leg, and hurriedly left the warehouse.
Before Xia Ruxing could react to the masked man's words, the warehouse suddenly burst into flames! The roaring tongue of fire seemed to have come into contact with something extremely flammable, and quickly enveloped the entire warehouse in a sea of fire!
"Liu Guodong! Go out and call the police! Lu Shenxiao shouted.
Liu Guodong also panicked, and hurriedly rushed out while the fire at the gate was not big.
Xia Ruxing struggled desperately with the rope in his hand, but he still couldn't move.
What the hell is this!
Lu Shenxiao dropped the pistol, walked quickly in front of her and squatted down, helping to untie the rope. But the rope used by the masked man this time is obviously of special material, and it can't be untied by manpower for a while.
Lu Shenxiao gritted his teeth and hugged Xia Ruxing, but found that the rope that tied Xia Ruxing's ankle was connected to a pillar, and he couldn't take it away with brute force.
"Shen Xiao, what should I do, the rope can't be untied...... The only fruit knife was also taken away by the masked man, Xia Ruxing had no master, and his thin white fingers grabbed the man's sleeve tightly.
Lu Shenxiao held her in his arms comfortingly, and said in a low tone: "Don't be afraid, Ruxing, I will definitely save you."
He lowered his head and continued to tear the rope, obviously to no avail, but gritted his teeth and did not give up.
Xia Ruxing finally calmed down, looked at Lu Shenxiao's cold jaw, tears fell on the back of her hand one by one, and said with a wry smile: "Shen Xiao, you go, don't save me."
The fire in the warehouse was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that it was already burning near them. The hot touch rolled up the smoke, making Xia Ruxing's vision slightly blurred.
Lu Shenxiao couldn't help coughing twice, wheezing violently.
If they stay any longer, they will both die!
Xia Ruxing knew that he shouldn't be selfish anymore, so he turned his face away, and said in a trembling voice: "Lu Shenxiao, I don't regret loving you in this life." But if you do it again, I hope Xiaoyu is also your child. β
These words have been buried in Xia Ruxing's heart for too long, and he has long wanted to spit it out. But every time she saw Lu Shenxiao's happy expression, she couldn't say anything, but fortunately, she didn't need to hide it anymore.
Lu Shenxiao's eyes were slightly stunned, he didn't expect her to say this. Could it be that in her heart, she has always remembered the events of the past, thinking that Xiaoyu is not his child......
Lu Shenxiao wanted to tell the truth, but it was obviously not a good time at the moment, and he had to rescue people as soon as possible.
"If there's anything to say, we'll go out and talk about it." Lu Shenxiao said in a low voice, still not giving up untying the rope.
Xia Ruxing no longer felt panicked, she was content to see him at the last second before she died. The only regret is that I didn't see Xiaoyu and Xiao Rolling grow up. What a blessing it would be to see them get married and have children.
The smoke choked into his mouth, Xia Ruxing coughed a few times, and felt that his consciousness was getting more and more blurred.
She grabbed Lu Shenxiao's hand tightly, and while she was still conscious, she said hoarsely while crying: "Shen Xiao, take care of Xiaoyu and Xiao Rolling, they are still young, it is enough to lose their mother, they can't lose their father anymore......"
This was like a last word, which made Lu Shenxiao on the verge of collapse, he held her with his backhand, and his voice was also trembling: "What nonsense are you talking about!" I won't leave you alone! β
Enough, enough.
Xia Ruxing felt sorry before, but when she heard Lu Shenxiao's words, she suddenly felt warm in her heart, as sweet as eating a marshmallow.
The consciousness was about to disappear completely, Xia Ruxing's eyelids were heavy, and he could only hold on to his spirits and look at him greedily.
Seeing that the rope was not moving, Lu Shenxiao took a deep breath, stopped doing useless work, hugged her whole person in his arms, and said softly: "Since you plan to stay here, how can I let you be alone."
He couldn't imagine his life without Xia Ruxing, it would be more painful than dying.
"No! You have to go out, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Rolling......" Xia Ruxing seemed to have regained a little strength, and when he heard his words, he immediately cheered up.
Lu Shenxiao hugged her tightly and did not let go, and his deep voice remained unchanged: "No one is more important than you."
Xia Ruxing's tears flowed down again, fell into his blazer, and disappeared instantly.
