The four people's positions now formed a triangle, with Scarface and Meng Xiang standing in one place, and the other two standing three meters away on the opposite side.

Scarface took out the military knife he carried in his pocket and cut the thumb-thick hemp rope on Meng Xiang's hand with three strokes. A mark was left on the originally delicate skin of his wrist.

The hands that had been tied for many days were now no longer bound by ropes. Meng Xiang felt that the hands were almost no longer her own. She flicked her wrists to stretch her muscles, and the scarred face next to her pushed her.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave!"

The other party urged, as if he couldn't stand Meng Xiang's slowness.

As soon as they lifted their feet——

boom!

A gunshot suddenly exploded in everyone's ears, accompanied by a sound that broke through the air, startling the birds in the forest.

"what!"

The scarred man who was originally standing next to Meng Xiang screamed and fell to the ground holding his calf.

Meng Xiang looked down and saw bright red blood gushing out of the bloody hole on the other person's calf. The scarred man's face was twisted in pain, veins bulged on his forehead, and he kept uttering faint moans from his mouth.

The shot wasn't in the aorta, so he shouldn't die for a while.

The sudden change left no one with time to react, and then there was a roar similar to that of a vehicle engine not far away.

Meng Xiang heard a vehicle approaching, her heart was being beaten hard like a drum, and the strings in her body were tightened. Without the shackles, she had no time to think about the identity of the person coming, and subconsciously ran towards the opposite side.

When the man opposite Meng Xiang saw that she was trying to escape, he finally took out a gun from his pocket and pointed it at her.

boom!

There was another gunshot.

Not far away, Meng Xiang staggered forward and fell down.

When a bullet penetrates the flesh, you don't actually feel much.

It was her body that was madly secreting adrenaline to protect herself, making her unable to feel pain.

But after a while, the body's senses slowly recovered, and you could feel a burning sensation at the wound, like thousands of ants gnawing at your own flesh and blood, which was unbearable.

Even though she bit her lower lip and forced herself not to make any sound, she still moaned uncontrollably in her throat.

The car stopped, Shen Sheng, Shen Yang and others rushed out of the car and took the lead and ran in the direction of Meng Xiang.

"I'm here!"

After seeing the person clearly, Meng Xiang endured the pain and waved desperately while covering the bleeding wound on his leg.

She tried to stand up from the ground, and beads of sweat slid down her cheeks into her collar because of the movement. The severe pain hit her senses, and her lips were pale and bloodless.

Yin Jiu, who got out of the car behind, jumped down and ran towards Meng Xiang.

However, the man arrived at Meng Xiang before anyone else.

The black muzzle of the gun was pressed against her head. The man's sharp hawk-like eyes stared at Shensheng and the others who were closest to him, and he threatened: "If you don't want her to die, don't come here."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Sheng and Shen Yang stopped abruptly and stood a few steps away.

"Okay! Don't hurt Miss Meng Xiang!"

After seeing the gun in the opponent's hand, Shen Sheng swallowed nervously and quickly reached out to stop the others who were rushing forward.

Soon, by the stream, two groups of people and horses stood facing each other.

When Meng Xiang saw Meng Shuo, she couldn't help but sniffle, and she started crying: "Uncle...Uncle...I'm sorry..."

She shouldn't have run away on her own initiative, otherwise she wouldn't be in this situation now.

"It's no use saying this now..."

It would be good to let her learn a lesson this time.

Yin Jiu stood next to Meng Shuo and shouted at the man holding Meng Xiang hostage, "Who are you? Why did you kidnap Meng Xiang?"

Meng Xiang was a little surprised when he saw Yin Jiu, but more moved and burst into tears.

"Sister Jiu..."

She didn't expect that she was just trying her luck and calling for help, and Yin Jiuhui would actually come all the way to save her in person.

The man opposite saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face, suddenly sneered, and called out her name accurately.

"Yinjiu?"

"you know me?"

Yin Jiu was a little surprised, but then he thought about it. He had been active on the big screen for a long time, so it would be difficult even if he didn't recognize him.

The man did not answer Ning Yan's question, but continued: "If you want to save her, bring the time travel back to me in three days and exchange it."

Before Yin Jiu could speak, Meng Shuo narrowed his eyes, as if he was trying to see the other person's true face clearly through the mask.

His tone was so cold and inhumane: "Are you dreaming?"

The man opposite laughed softly after hearing this, as if he had already expected Meng Shuo to say this.

"I think I've made it very clear. Bring something here to exchange, or we will all die together."

As he said that, the man pressed the muzzle of the gun harder. His index finger and middle finger rested on the trigger. As long as he pressed it down, it would be difficult to save him even if the Great Luo Immortal came.

If it had been before, Yin Jiu would probably have agreed without hesitation.

But since she went to Xuanyin Temple last time and learned the secret hidden in the necklace, she hesitated.

She didn't know what the other party was going to do with the thing. If she handed it over rashly, it might lead to disaster.

Yin Jiu grabbed the corner of Lu Cenyan's clothes unconsciously without even noticing it.

"It'll be okay." Lu Cenyan noticed it and comforted him softly.

……

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Scarface was still lying on the ground moaning and talking nonsense intermittently. The woman was holding his wound and performing a simple bandage to stop the bleeding.

Xu Shi had just convinced the man to show mercy, but Meng Xiang's injuries were obviously not as serious as Scarface's. The bullet that hit her avoided the nerves and arteries.

"Uncle..."

Meng Xiang took a deep breath because of the obvious pain in her leg. Physiological tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of her eyes. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears, but found that she had no strength at all.

Meng Shuo's heart was moved for a brief moment, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes as he looked at the man opposite him.

"Do you really dare to kill her?"

Meng Shuo stared at the other person intently. On the other end, there was a flash of surprise and astonishment in the man's eyes that were only exposed.

"Kill her? She is temporarily useful to me."

It seemed that he didn't expect that the other party would recognize his identity so easily. The man's attitude could be regarded as acquiescence.

"What's going on? Isn't he coming for you?"

At this time, Yin Jiu, who was confused and had not yet assessed the situation clearly, was a little confused.

She originally thought that the other party was coming for Meng Shuo, but now it seems that the relationship between the two people is not that of incompatible enemies as she had guessed.

Meng Shuo just crossed his arms, as if the injured person was not his own: "Don't you understand yet? He is coming for you."
