Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 246 Rescue in Progress (2)

The monitor was watching everything Lin Xi did, and Lin Xi shook her head slightly at Duan Mingxuan.

One person can't fight four fists. Duan Mingxuan shouldn't have come in to save her; instead, he should have gone to get reinforcements immediately.

But when Duan Mingxuan saw the bruises on her face, he knew she had been beaten.

Fueled with rage, Duan Mingxuan wished he could tear Chen Liangyi to pieces.

In his dazed state, he failed to comprehend the obstruction and anxiety in Lin Xi's eyes.

Duan Mingxuan smashed the glass with a punch. Lin Xi opened her eyes wide, no longer caring about anything else. She adjusted her posture slightly and then knelt on the ground.

"Don't worry." Duan Mingxuan climbed onto the window. "I'm coming to save you."

"Uh uh... uh uh..."

Duan Mingxuan laughed as he climbed: "This time, I found you first."

Lin Xi pushed off the ground with the balls of his feet and stood up with a slight backward effort.

She skipped to the window, tilted her head back, and kept making "uh" sounds, looking anxious and uneasy.

Duan Mingxuan smiled and comforted her, "I'm fine, don't worry. Step back and I'll jump."

Lin Xi suddenly jumped twice. Before Duan Mingxuan could react, he was hit hard on the back and fell out of the window, landing on Lin Xi.

Duan Mingxuan cursed inwardly. Seeing Lin Xi's face contorted in pain, he quickly got up to help her up: "Are you alright? Are you stupid? Why are you using me as a human cushion?"

"Uuuuuuu..."

Duan Mingxuan ripped the tape off her lips, and Lin Xi immediately said, "The back."

Duan Mingxuan turned around abruptly and was punched to the ground.

He spat out the blood and foam, clenched his fists, and roared, "I'll fight you to the death!"

Brother Shan raised his hand expressionlessly, while Duan Mingxuan stood frozen, staring at the dark muzzle of the gun.

"Duan Mingxuan." Lin Xi was stunned when she saw the gun, and it took her a while to find her voice. "Don't be impulsive."

Duan Mingxuan licked his lips and raised his hands.

Chen Jingyi walked in, followed by another bodyguard of Ke Yu.

Clearly, this person had been bribed by Chen Jingyi, undoubtedly due to the power of the gun.

"Tie him up," Chen Jingyi ordered, turning her head to the side.

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and tied Duan Mingxuan up.

Duan Mingxuan frowned, shielding Lin Xi behind him, and said to Chen Jingyi, "I really underestimated you; you actually managed to get a gun."

Chen Jingyi smiled. The gun was naturally obtained by Brother Shan, who had access to illegal black market transactions.

"You're really willing to risk your life for Lin Xi."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi felt a chill run down her spine. She looked at Chen Liangyi and said, "Don't drag other people into your feud with me."

"Am I anyone else to you?" Duan Mingxuan interrupted Lin Xi. "If she has the guts, she can kill me."

"Duan Mingxuan, shut up." Lin Xi scolded him. Having a gun and not having a gun are two completely different things.

She's in a bad mood and could break up with him at any moment.

But this matter really has nothing to do with Duan Mingxuan, and Lin Xi doesn't want to implicate him.

"Chen Jingyi, take it out on me if you have any problems." Although Lin Xi was scared, she still stepped forward. "Don't hurt him."

Chen Jingyi looked at Lin Xi with an astonishingly bright gaze, and upon closer inspection, she could see a surge of madness in her eyes.

She said, "The real show is just beginning."

Lin Xi: "What are you going to do?"

Chen Jingyi didn't reply to her. After Shan Ge sealed the windows, she didn't gag Lin Xi and Duan Mingxuan either.

Duan Mingxuan and Lin Xi were kicked to a corner and made to sit side by side.

Chen Jingyi left with her people, and the windows were sealed shut.

Lin Xi turned her head to look at Duan Mingxuan: "Are you stupid? Don't you know to ask for help first?"

That's what she said, but she didn't mean to blame anyone.

Duan Mingxuan looked at her face and asked softly, "Did she hit you?"

Lin Xi hummed in response, not paying attention to herself, and asked him, "Was Grandpa's funeral successful?"

“I didn’t go,” Duan Mingxuan said. “Duan Yiheng went.”

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Are you... because of me?"

Duan Mingxuan said, "I know that Grandpa's burial is a big deal, but you, a living person, are obviously more important, right? Since Duan Yiheng has gone, I will stay and look for you."

Lin Xi paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you."

"I don't want your thanks." Duan Mingxuan's expression was somewhat agitated. "I just want to tell you that my feelings for you are no less than Duan Yiheng's."

"Take a moment to ask yourself honestly, don't you ever wish for Duan Yiheng to appear outside the window?"

"Given his current status and position, it's impossible for him to put you first, but I can."

"Xiao Xi, I can put you first, I can make sure that you are the only one in my world."

After Duan Mingxuan finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xi nervously.

Lin Xi admired him for still thinking about love and romance even in such a situation.

She gave a wry smile and said, "When you have me all over the world, you might complain one day that you lost the whole world because of me."

"No, I won't." Duan Mingxuan denied instinctively. "I won't do something so stupid again."

“Mingxuan, Duan Yiheng may not have arrived as early as you, but when it comes to love, who cares about who comes first?” Lin Xi said. “Even if he arrived late, he must be trying his best to get me out of here right now, just like you are trying to save me.”

Duan Mingxuan twitched the corner of his mouth and stopped talking.

Lin Xi looked around and asked him in a low voice, "Did they take your things? Do you know what time it is?"

Duan Mingxuan: "Around 7 p.m.

Lin Xi: "Where is this?"

Duan Mingxuan said, "On a mountain north of the funeral home, there is an abandoned villa area that looks quite eerie."

"Do you know how many people Chen Jingyi brought with her? And that scream just now sounded like Ke Yu's voice. Also, the bodyguard who tied you up earlier is completely different from the people Chen Jingyi brought. I suspect he's one of Ke Yu's men."

Duan Mingxuan thought for a moment and replied, "Ke Yu's bodyguard is with Chen Jingyi, which means Ke Yu may have been murdered?"

Lin Xi pursed her lips, looking at Duan Mingxuan with a somewhat blank expression. She belatedly nodded.

"Chen Jingyi's mental illness was caused by Ke Yu. The two of them conspired to kidnap me. I guess Ke Yu wanted money, but she didn't understand Chen Jingyi at all."

Duan Mingxuan comforted her, "Even if you are harmed, it has nothing to do with you. Ke Yu is no pushover either."

Lin Xi's hands and feet were so bound that she lost all feeling. She wanted to just lie down and take a nap, but the high tension made her uneasy.

She looked at Duan Mingxuan: "But we don't know what she's up to right now. I have a bad feeling about this."

Duan Mingxuan recalled the dark muzzle of the gun and asked Lin Xi, "Are you scared?"

Lin Xi nodded: "I'm afraid."

She was afraid that Duan Mingxuan would be implicated, and even more afraid that she would never see Duan Yiheng again.

It's been almost ten hours since she disappeared, and it's hard to say whether she'll survive the night.

"boom--"

Lin Xi flinched and exchanged a glance with Duan Mingxuan: "What was that sound?"

"A gun." Duan Mingxuan's face was extremely grim. "What is she going to do?"
