The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 36 Escape

The mysterious man covered his right hand in pain, his face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. I then noticed that his trembling right hand was now emitting a strange black aura, as if something was about to break out of his body.

"His right hand... seems to have been attacked by something!" Qin Xue exclaimed. She had been hiding in the corner and observing everything.

Backlash? A flash of inspiration came to my mind. Could it be that his right hand was the price of some forbidden technique? If that was the case, then his weakness was not just his right hand itself, but the power that was backlashing against him!

"Yuxuan, Luoyao, let's attack him together!" I made a prompt decision and took the opportunity to kill him while he was sick!

I picked up a piece of gravel on the ground and threw it at the mysterious man's face. He reacted quickly, waving his left hand, and a strong airflow blew the gravel away. However, at the moment he made the move, the black air on his right hand rolled more violently, and he groaned in pain, and his movements slowed down by half a beat.

Now! Zhong Yuxuan and Li Luoyao understood and attacked at the same time. Zhong Yuxuan endured the severe pain in his arm and punched the mysterious man in the abdomen, while Li Luoyao flexibly went behind him and tried to tie his legs with a rope.

The mysterious man was attacked from both sides, and roared, trying to break free from our encirclement. However, the more he struggled, the more violent the black energy on his right hand became, as if it wanted to devour him. His originally fierce offensive also became chaotic and full of flaws.

I seized the opportunity and threw the dagger in my hand with all my strength, aiming directly at the black energy on his right hand!

"Ah——" The moment the dagger pierced the black air, the mysterious man let out a shrill scream, as if he was in great pain. His body trembled violently, the strength in his hands dissipated, and he fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Hurry, now!" I shouted, with a glimmer of hope in my heart.

I was delighted. It worked! Yuxuan, Luoyao, and I quickly stepped forward and pinned him to the ground. The mysterious man was still struggling, but the severe pain from his right hand made him unable to resist. I quickly picked up the rope on the ground and tied him up tightly.

"Tell me, who sent you?" I asked sternly, with the dagger in my hand against his neck.

The mysterious man just sneered and said nothing. His eyes swept over me, Yuxuan and Luoyao one by one, and finally fixed on my face, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.

"You don't want to tell me, right? It doesn't matter, I have plenty of ways to make you speak!" I emphasized my tone and used a little force with the dagger to draw a bloody mark on his neck.

He groaned in pain, but still didn't beg for mercy. I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Isn't this guy too tight-lipped?

"Luo Xue, don't waste your energy. Since he doesn't say anything, he must have his reasons." Yu Xuan held my hand and motioned me to calm down. "Let's find a way to leave here first."

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. Yuxuan was right. The most important thing now was to escape from here. As for the identity of this mysterious man, it would not be too late to investigate it slowly later.

"Luoyao, how are you? Can you still walk?" I turned to look at Li Luoyao. Although she was not injured, her face looked a little pale, and she was obviously frightened by the scene just now.

"I'm fine, let's go." Li Luoyao shook her head and tried hard to force a smile.

I nodded, and together with Yuxuan and Li Luoyao, we began to look for an exit. This basement was bigger than I thought, and we groped along the wall for a long time but didn't find any clues.

Just when we were about to despair, Qin Xue suddenly shouted in surprise: "Look, there seems to be a door here!"

We followed the sound and found an inconspicuous secret door in the corner. This door was hidden very cleverly, and if Qin Xue hadn't had a sharp eye, we would have missed it.

"Hurry, let's go in and take a look!" A glimmer of hope ignited in my heart, I pushed open the secret door, and walked in first.

Behind the secret door was a long and narrow passage, with dim oil lamps on the wall, so we could barely see the road under our feet. We walked forward along the passage cautiously, fearing that there would be some traps.

"This passage should lead to the outside world, and we should be able to get out soon." Yuxuan said in a low voice with a hint of excitement in his tone.

I nodded, my heart full of anticipation. However, just when we thought victory was in sight, a strange sound suddenly came from the front...

The sound was like the growl of an animal, or the friction of some machine, echoing in the narrow passage, and seemed particularly eerie and terrifying. My scalp suddenly went numb, my heartbeat accelerated, and an ominous premonition came to my mind.

"What's that sound?" Li Luoyao grabbed my arm in fear and asked in a trembling voice.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." I patted her hand, pretending to be calm, and turned to look at Yuxuan, "Let's be careful."

Yuxuan nodded solemnly, picked up a stick from the ground, and walked in front to lead the way. We slowed down, held our breath, and groped forward step by step.

The light in the passage was getting darker and darker, and I could hardly see my hand in front of me. I could only follow Yuxuan closely, fearing that I would be left behind.

"Ah!" Qin Xue, who was walking at the back, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" I quickly turned around to help her, but found that her face was pale and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"My foot... seems to have been sprained..." Qin Xue bit her lip and said while enduring the pain.

I looked down and saw that her ankle was swollen, obviously she had sprained it when she fell just now.

"What should we do? What should we do now?" Li Luoyao asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll help her first." I tried to calm myself down, took out the first aid kit from my backpack, and simply helped Qin Xue treat her injuries.

"Fortunately, I brought some common medicines with me." I said as I used gauze to fix her injured ankle. "But the conditions are limited now, so I can only do some simple treatment. After we get out, we still have to go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Luo Xue." Qin Xue looked at me gratefully, "It's all my fault for dragging everyone down."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are best friends!" I smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, we will definitely take you out with us."

After treating Qin Xue's injury, we continued to move forward. However, Qin Xue's injury made us move even slower. And the strange sound was getting closer and closer, as if it was echoing in our ears, and my heart couldn't help but rise to my throat...

A cold wind blew, and I shuddered. Fear entangled me like a vine. Qin Xue was injured, and our hope of escape became even slimmer. At this moment, Yuxuan suddenly stopped, lowered his voice, and said hurriedly: "The exit is just ahead, we must leave here as soon as possible!"

I looked up and saw a faint light ahead, like a lamp of hope in the dark night. We supported each other and ran towards the light.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the bricks at the exit suddenly collapsed, rubble flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

"Hahaha, you want to escape? Not that easy!" A eerie voice echoed in the ruins, making people feel creepy.

My heart sank to the bottom in an instant. Are we going to be trapped here?

"Luo Xue, don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you!" Yu Xuan protected me, Qin Xue and Luo Yao behind him, staring firmly at the front.

The smoke and dust cleared, and a tall figure appeared in front of us. He was covered in a black cloak, and his face was not visible. Only a pair of cold eyes flashed a chilling light in the darkness.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting us?" I asked, mustering up the courage.

"Hmph, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!" The man in black sneered and waved his hand. Several men in black rushed out from behind him and surrounded us.

"Yuxuan, what should we do?" I grabbed Yuxuan's arm tightly, my palms were full of sweat.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Yuxuan gave me a reassuring look, then turned to the man in black and said, "Let them go, I'll go with you!"

"Yuxuan, don't!" I exclaimed, trying to stop him, but he shook his head firmly.

"You wish!" The leader of the men in black snorted coldly, "None of you will be able to escape today!"

After that, he took the lead in attacking, and Yuxuan went forward fearlessly, and the two of them immediately engaged in a fight. The other men in black also rushed forward and surrounded us.

"Qin Xue, can you still move?" I asked anxiously while supporting Qin Xue.

"I... I'll try." Qin Xue gritted her teeth and struggled to stand up.

"Luo Xue, let's come and help too!" Luo Yao also stood up. Although she was weak, her eyes were full of determination at this moment.

I looked around for something I could use. Suddenly, my eyes lit up and I saw some broken bricks and sticks scattered on the ground.

"Qin Xue, you are responsible for covering me!" I picked up a brick and said to Qin Xue.

Qin Xue nodded, endured the pain, picked up a wooden stick and stood in front of me.

I took a deep breath, aimed at the head of a man in black, and hit him hard.

"Ah!" The man in black screamed and fell to the ground.

"Good job, Luo Xue!" Qin Xue shouted excitedly.

I took the opportunity to pick up another brick and threw it at another man in black. The man in black was caught off guard and squatted down in pain, holding his head.

"Hurry up!" Yuxuan's voice came from not far away.

I looked up and saw that he had knocked down several men in black and was cutting a bloody path towards us.

"Hurry, let's go!" I pulled Qin Xue and Luo Yao and rushed out with Yuxuan.

We stumbled and ran in the night, with the footsteps of the men in black chasing us. I know we are not completely out of danger, but I believe that as long as we don't give up hope, we will be able to overcome all difficulties!

I held Yuxuan's hand tightly. His palm was full of sweat, but still warm and strong. We stumbled and finally got rid of those men in black. In the dark, we hid in an abandoned warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with a damp and musty smell, and the moonlight poured down from the broken roof, illuminating the dust and debris on the ground. Qin Xue, Luo Yao and I sat down weakly against the wall, breathing heavily.

"Are...are we safe?" Luo Yao's voice trembled slightly, and she obviously had not yet recovered from the shock.

"It's safe for now." Yu Xuan looked around and confirmed that there were no pursuers. He breathed a sigh of relief, "Those people shouldn't be able to find this place."

I looked at Yuxuan, his face was full of fatigue, his sleeves were torn, revealing his strong arms. My heart ached, if he hadn't been protecting us, he wouldn't have been hurt.

"Yuxuan, your wound..." I gently stroked his wound, tears welling up in my eyes.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury." Yuxuan held my hand and smiled comfortingly.

Qin Xue also struggled to stand up, walked over to us, and said casually: "That's right, this little injury is nothing. Back then, I..."

"Are you going to tell me about the time when you bravely fought against the criminals?" I interrupted her and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qin Xue's words successfully diluted the tense atmosphere, and we all laughed. The joy of surviving the disaster made us temporarily forget our fear and anxiety.

However, we all know that this is just the calm before the storm. What is the purpose of that mysterious man in black? Why did he capture us? And how did he know our whereabouts?

A series of questions lingered in my mind. I looked at Yuxuan, who was also in deep thought, with a frown on his face, obviously thinking about the same question.

"Yuxuan, who do you think that man in black is? Why did he want to arrest us?" I couldn't help but ask.

Yuxuan shook his head. "I don't know yet, but I will find out and give you an explanation."

His tone was firm and reassuring, and I believed him, just as I believed the sun would rise as usual.

We rested in the warehouse for a few days. Yuxuan found some food and water, and used the rags he found to treat our wounds. Our bodies and spirits gradually recovered, but the haze in our hearts could not be dispelled.

I know that the real battle is far from over, and what awaits us will be even more severe tests. But I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome all difficulties!
