Chapter 117 Don't kill him
Jiang Mianmian drove Wu Zhanggui to Yuan Pei's lair.
On the other side, Yuan Pei dispatched eighty percent of the guards from the manor, along with Jiang Chuan, Li Shi, and Jiang Ranran, to Jiang Mianmian's cave.
Jiang Jiman kept coughing, and Yuan Pei, fearing that the only person in the Jiang family with a brain had died, locked him in a dark room.
"Master, it's late. You should rest first. I'm sure you'll have good news when you wake up."
Yuan Pei was also a little tired, and nodded.
The maids helped him wash up and go to bed.
He didn't sleep well, feeling a vague sense of unease.
Twenty-five slept well. When she woke up groggily, she couldn't help but giggle as she recalled her dream.
"You silly girl, you even fall asleep while doing your homework. Do you want to eat something else? Eat well and then go to sleep."
Third Aunt tidied up the books and pencils on the table for her. These were all brought by Mianmian, and they were indeed much more convenient than the usual writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Twenty-five nodded, "I want to eat! I want to drink milk tea!"
"Drinking milk tea late at night will make it hard to sleep."
Grandma Niu got up and walked outside. "How about a bowl of wontons?"
Twenty-five chased after her, shouting, "Grandma Niu, I can make my own milk tea! I can! I just made some!"
They usually don't let her into the kitchen, but she clearly did it very well just now!
Unfortunately, I didn't even have a chance to take a bite before I woke up for some reason.
What a pity.
She swallowed hard and looked at Granny Niu with her bright, sparkling eyes.
Grandma Niu found it amusing, "Were you just dreaming about this?"
"Yeah yeah."
Twenty-five nodded repeatedly, then looked at Third Sister, "I just dreamt of a really, really beautiful place, and a small house. There were a lot of things that Sister Mianmian brought in there. Maybe that's Sister Mianmian's home!"
She rattled off a string of words, making the two of them laugh non-stop.
Where would you find such a place?
"You're just dreaming about what you've been thinking about during the day. But Mianmian and Jiu Niang have been gone for several days now, haven't they? It's about time they came back."
The three of them talked and then went to the kitchen together.
Just as the milk was being boiled, Lin Bao came over and exclaimed, "Come quick, someone's here!"
Twenty-five's eyes lit up. "Those same people again?"
Electric shocks! She's going to electrocute any bad guys trying to break in!
"Not just them, there are others too."
Lin Bao shook his head.
The three of them followed him to the living room.
There were six large screens on the cave wall, and at this moment there were indeed people on two of them.
The group was the same group of men in black who had come before and been electrocuted several times.
The other three were dressed in tattered clothes and had ropes tied around their hands.
Lin Bao zoomed in on the surveillance footage. "Look at this woman, doesn't she look like Jiang Ranran, the one who came looking for trouble with Mianmian before? And that older woman, isn't she the one who robbed the twenty-five-year-old woman?"
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the mother and daughter! The older man must be Mianmian's biological father!
He said bitterly, "It's the Jiang family! They're definitely up to something bad again!"
"She pinched me so hard!"
Twenty-five, puffed out in anger, pointed at Li.
"I'll go call Seventh Sister; she's got a lot of ideas."
Granny Niu and Seventh Sister arrived quickly.
The group of people in the surveillance footage were no longer rushing around as before, but had split into two groups.
One group hid behind the bushes, while the other two chased after Jiang Ranran.
One of them shouted, "Jiang Mianmian, where do you think you're going to run to?"
"Hahaha, watch me catch you, I'll tear you to pieces!"
Jiang Ranran tore off the clothes from her left shoulder and ran desperately toward the cave entrance.
In a hoarse voice, she cried, "Help me, Twenty-Five, Seventh Sister, open the door quickly!"
The people in front of the monitor: "..."
Even without surveillance cameras and without seeing her face, they wouldn't believe her terrible acting, right?
How did Mianmian end up in such a sorry state, even leading the enemy into the cave?
"Pah! This shameless person! Does he even deserve to pretend to be Mianmian?"
Seventh Sister's expression turned slightly cold. "I want to see what she's up to."
The others were all staring intently at the screen.
Jiang Ranran ran a few steps, but seeing no movement from inside the cave, she became somewhat annoyed. "Are these people deaf? Can't they hear something so loud?"
The two men following her had ferocious expressions, exaggerated movements, and lowered their voices:
"Didn't you say you'd definitely come to rescue me? What do we do now?"
Jiang Ranran fell to the ground with a thud, yelling, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
But his eyes were telling them to be even more ruthless.
One of them grabbed her ankle and laughed, "Hahaha, Jiang Mianmian, you're nothing special."
"No! Help me, help me!"
Jiang Ranran's voice was shrill. As the man's face drew closer and closer, she knew it was fake, but a sense of fear still rose within her.
Tears quickly filled her eyes as she scrambled away, reaching out a hand towards the cave, desperately trying to grab onto something.
"Seventh Sister! Save me!"
Just then, a sharp arrow shot out from the sky!
With a whoosh, it shot straight toward the man!
The man leaned back and screamed in pain. The other man, startled, grabbed him and ran back, shouting, "There's an ambush!"
"Is that Seventh Sister? Come save me!"
Jiang Ranran breathed a sigh of relief, crawled forward two steps, and then pretended to be too tired to continue.
There were still about ten meters to the cave entrance. As long as they could lure the person out, the people hiding in the bushes behind them could swarm in. Whether they entered the cave or captured Seven Sister, the matter would be settled!
Unfortunately, both her face and the man in black in the bushes had already been clearly seen by Qi Niang and the others.
The barbed wire and stones at the entrance of the cave slowly moved, revealing a tiny gap.
Lin Bao peered through the crack and feigned surprise, asking, "Is that Mianmian?"
Jiang Ranran was startled. How come there was a man here? It really was a den of iniquity; even when fleeing, they didn't forget to bring a man along!
She didn't recognize him, so she tilted her head and pretended to faint.
Since he's already dizzy, he'll have to come out and check on him, right?
Sure enough, the man called out anxiously, "Mianmian, what's wrong, Mianmian? Wait for me, I'll save you right away!"
Jiang Ranran felt smug and secretly peeked at him.
Then the person shrank back!
Didn't you say you were coming to rescue me? Why don't you come then?
Inside the cave, Twenty-Five had already brought out the grappling hook that Jiang Mianmian used when she climbed the city wall.
Seventh Sister tugged at it, "This is good, use this to hook her clothes, just be careful not to kill her."
This woman has repeatedly provoked Mianmian, and now she even dares to impersonate Mianmian, trying to lure them out! Without a doubt, she's planning to wait for them to come out of the cave, then swarm them, grab them, and take control of Mianmian!
With such a vicious mind, killing her with a single hook would be too lenient!
"Row."
Lin Bao opened the hole a little more and threw the grappling hook out.
Perhaps the hook was the perfect weight, because it landed directly on Jiang Ranran, hooking around her waist. "Mianmian, just bear with it!"
Jiang Ranran groaned as she was hit, almost crying out in pain.
Before my brain could even process it, my body was already being lifted up and I was flying to the cave entrance!
"boom!"
She crashed half her body into the rock at the cave entrance, and her leg got stuck in the barbed wire spikes!
Fresh blood spurted out immediately, and excruciating pain shot through her. This time, she wasn't faking it; Jiang Ranran had genuinely fainted.
