On the other side.
At 4:30 p.m.
Whimpers went on.
At this time Nancy was tied up, and there were a dozen people in black in front of her.
Each of them was wearing a mask and a hat. They were absolutely in disguise.
Whimpers continued.
At present, she was severely panic.
She keened to struggle.
But the rope was too tight to access a movement.
She was confused why the hell she was hijacked on her way to school.
Even no idea about who these people were.
What did they want?
Yet, her mouth was sealed with tape and she couldn’t open it at all.
And those people were poker face, even a look was not willing to give her.
What was more frightening, that here was an abandoned warehouse with only a dim and shaking lamp inside. The big warehouse was full of the smell of rust.
The smell made her feel suffocated.
There was a ‘bang’. Just then, a man ran inside in a hurry.
"Here comes the man."
Nancy Xi suddenly stopped struggling and looked along the direction of opening door.
‘A man comes here?’
‘Who’s here?’
Their mastermind?
As she was frowning, there were several people in black suddenly walked up to her, and every two lads stood around and behind her separately.
Nancy Xi began to be nervous all of sudden.
They were....
What to do?
All the men in black looked toward the door.
So did Nancy Xi involuntarily.
The door was also hung lamp blown by the wind, mess, rickety.
And here and now, a tall and straight figure suddenly appeared .
The figure......
Well familiar......
"Oh, how quick you are!” Said one of the tallest men in black, sitting in a chair and laughing.
The man ignored him but saw the position of Nancy Xi at a glance.
For the next second, without thinking, he was rushing over.
Nonetheless, a cold knife cropped up on Nancy Xi ‘s neck.
This knife shocked the man’s step.
Nancy Xi was stunned, he was Linda Lichen?
"Let her go!" Linda Lichen saw Nancy Xi was tied up, his whole complexion gent fiercely gloomy, the whole manner drove crowds tremble. "Come at me if you can!"
The black-dress chap clapped, then laughed out. "Drillmaster Nan, you are really brave to come alone as I told you. Amazing, what a courage!"
Linda Lichen ignored his sarcasm at all, paid the only attention to Nancy Xi .
"You have my warn, if your knife marks her neck, I will let you die with the very ‘alacrity’." The eyes of the man as fierce as a beast gazed at the holding-knife lad.
"Ha ha, Drillmaster Nan." The head-most guy saw to him, hooking lips shallowly. "Here isn’t in your troops, are you sure the way you speak to me loudly?" The head-most guy laughed, and then, with a peek in his eyes, the knife on Nancy Xi ‘s neck was closer to her.
"Stop it!” Linda Lichen’s eyes unveiled a hint of fear suddenly .
The head-most guy eyebrows turned up slightly. "Stop, sure! So here goes a rule, you don’t mind my fellows kick your ass for 10 minutes and without any fights back, otherwise you’d better watch out, the knife’s move will deepen as your fight." Said the guy, with a low laugh. "My fellows are very newcomer, also don’t know much about the regulation, if carelessly gave her neck...... That’s not good, is that?"
Linda Lichen looked at him with cold eyes.
And the head-most guy unmoved, the vision was still indifferent.
"Good!" Suddenly, he spoke.
Nancy Xi was stunned at once.
He...
He agreed?
How was that possible?
He really didn’t like her?
Why did he agree to this term?
Before she figured out it, five men rushed up.
In an instant, the fists swung against him.
Round after round, the beating was never mercy.
Linda Lichen knelt on the ground, bluntly endured those fists mercilessly hit his body.
Nancy Xi was still.
She looked at Linda Lichen who was hit down upon the ground, her nose got acerbity.
She didn’t understand why he came to rescue her?
And why did he agree to this term?
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Linda Lichen still remained kneeling, merely face and mouth bleeding.
He had seemed be in a tight corner.
"Let her go!” Linda Lichen rose slowly, eyes kept fixing on Nancy Xi .
The sights made Nancy Xi ‘s tears fall down at once.
She didn’t know why she was crying.
Linda Lichen frowned while saw her tears, with eyes in worry. "Don’t be afraid, I’m here!"
Nancy Xi shook her head, tears like beads in a broken rope, kept dripping.
At this time, Linda Lichen turned to look at the head-most guy, then said, "I don’t know when I offended you, but just do a man’s do, come at me bluntly, let her go!"
"Let her go?" The head-most guy smiled light. "Drillmaster Nan, as far as I know, this woman is not your sister. Your care is just rather...... Unusual.... Is it You Love Her?"
‘You Love Her?’
Those three words ceased Nancy Xi ‘s cry.
Linda Lichen didn’t respond, gazed at Nancy Xi who was surprised. Then Linda Lichen laughed slightly. "How possible!"
Then, with a bitter sound. "She is the saboteur for my family. Love? Oh, never ever even in this life!"
A bump.
Nancy Xi ‘s heart jerked.
Why did she be much painful as heard it......
"Ah, that is just right, since you don’t like, I will help you kill her directly, work off your anger?" Said it, hi brows picked. "Do it!"
"Who dare!” Linda Lichen roared loudly, his eyes were sinister and terrible. He stared at the man standing behind Nancy Xi .
The head-most guy still smiled faintly, and then picked up the mug of tea on the side and said, "Drillmaster Nan, your speech didn’t make sense. You dislike her and hate her, but don’t permit we do it, why?"
Looking at Nancy Xi , Linda Lichen said word by word. "No matter how I dislike her, it’s not your business to teach her!"
"Are you crazy? Are you really going to jump?" She cried in disbelief.
How is that possible?
How could he jump for her?
No, it can’t be true!
Linda Lichen didn’t turn around, the mouth unmasked a shallow smile. "Nancy, you must hate me all through. Now, it’s a so nice opportunity to get rid of me. Later, no one will bully you...... "
Nancy Xi didn’t know why she heard his words, the heart twitched up inexplicably.
She was unhappy.
Yes, indeed unhappy.
Step by step Linda Lichen moved to the cliff.
"Linda Lichen, don’t think your jump will let me forgive you. I hate you, hate you at all. You may wonder how joyful if you kick the bucket!" She bellowed out loud and her voice was very sharp.
Linda Lichen paused in each footstep, yet not to turn back, with only eyes slightly down, and bitter smile. "Yeah!"
It’s the first time for Nancy Xi to see this kind of sight.
Her heart jerked inexplicably.
"Nancy...... I’m sorry...... "And he looked back at her with a smile on his lips, the gentlest smile she had never seen, and one should not belong to him.
But, at this moment, he really had the smile.
"Remember, don’t chase after a son of bitch like my brother!"
With that, he turned around and jump without hesitation.
"Ah -- -- -"
Nancy Xi screamed and her body suddenly went soft.
The head-most guy peeped, then one guy behind walked away quickly, sent a message [He have jumped down, the ships be on position]
She fell to the ground and looked at the empty place in disbelief, lost her mind.
"Do you see it? "Said the head-most guy, crouching and looking to that direction.
Nancy Xi stared up at him, the eyes were spiteful.
"You shouldn’t look like that. You should be glad, shouldn’t you? I got you out of Linda Lichen, you’re liberated."
"Why are you doing this?" Nancy Xi roared out loud, accompanied by tears.
She should be happy, shouldn’t she?
But......
Why did she cry?
It’s so suffering....
Can be so deep hatred of this man!
Black-dress person smile stood up. "Miss Xi, before I accessed to Drillmaster Nan, I had looked up a mass of information. What a righteous, unsympathetic chap, why did he sacrifice himself for you, he didn’t even know what was below, he may pass away. Ah, didn’t expect I can see Drillmaster Nan so care about a woman in my lifetime, he, loves you!"
Nancy Xi enlarged her eyes wide. "What...... What?"
"I said, he really loves you, otherwise he won’t jump down." Said the black-dress man, waved his hand, and immediately someone helped Nancy Xi get up.
Nancy Xi didn’t move.
The whole brain was buzzing.
‘He loves you.’
‘Loves you.’
Why?
Wasn’t Linda Lichen just making fun of her?
‘He......’
‘Loves her?’
