After a tragic death and rebirth, the iceberg president turned crazy
Chapter 373: Once you pass the checkpoint, no one will ever find you again.
Lin Man looked at Xiao Bin expectantly, but Xiao Bin remained unmoved. His face was stern, and he responded coldly, "Hurry up."
Those four short words were like ice, instantly extinguishing the warmth in Lin Man's words.
But Lin Man did not give up. She knew that the person who was taken alone by Jiang Xuzhi must have extraordinary qualities. If she could win him over, it would be of great help to her in getting out of trouble.
Lin Man came to Xiao Bin and scooped up some water from the stream and drank it. She was pregnant, but she could only hope that the water was clean enough.
After a while, Lin Man pretended to have a stomachache, frowned tightly in front of Xiaobin, and broke out in a cold sweat.
She is a professional at acting. Although she is a little nervous, her acting skills should be more than enough to fool the soldiers. "There seems to be something wrong with this water. Don't drink it now."
As she spoke, Lin Man danced with joy and knocked over the water Xiao Bin had finally fetched. Xiao Bin looked at Lin Man's sweaty face and was a little at a loss. He frowned and asked in a cold voice, "What's wrong with you? I'll go call my brother."
Lin Man quickly reached out and grabbed him, saying anxiously, "Don't go. I'll be fine after drinking some normal water. Can we go to the town ahead to rest for a while?"
Xiao Bin's expression was obviously relaxed, perhaps because he was worried that something might happen to Lin Manzhen. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay."
Afterwards, he placed Lin Man under the tree and hurried over to Jiang Xuzhi. It was unknown what he said to Jiang Xuzhi.
Instantly, Jiang Xuzhi's eyes shot towards Lin Man. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, making Lin Man feel uneasy.
She almost couldn't keep up the pretense, and there was only one thought in her mind: It's over.
Soon, Jiang Xuzhi walked steadily towards her. At this time, Xiaobin was being pulled by Dabin's ears, with his head lowered, looking aggrieved and embarrassed.
Dabin whispered a few words in Xiaobin's ear. Xiaobin glanced at Lin Man and hurried away.
In an instant, Jiang Xuzhi's deep and magnetic voice rang in Lin Man's ears: "Why, since the negotiation failed, you decided to attack the people around me?"
When the truth was revealed, Lin Man thought she would be extremely panicked, but strangely, she was exceptionally clear-headed and calm at this moment.
She faced Jiang Xuzhi fearlessly and said coldly, "Jiang Xuzhi, what do you want to do? If you want money, just tell me."
"But if you really intend to give my heart to that vicious woman's sister, I advise you not to dream about it. I can die here now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Man quickly picked up the sharp stone he had prepared in advance and pressed it hard against his neck.
But before Lin Man could do anything, she suddenly felt a piercing pain in the hand holding the stone, and she almost cried in pain!
The hand instantly turned purple and began to twitch uncontrollably. Seeing this, Jiang Xuzhi frowned and said unhappily to Dabin beside him: "You're too harsh."
After saying this, he gently held Lin Man in his arms, took out the medicine box, and applied the medicine to her personally.
Seeing this, Dabin lowered his head and said, "Sorry, sir." However, when he looked down at the ground, there was no regret in his eyes.
In his opinion, anyone who dares to plot against his brother should be prepared to get hurt.
Seeing Lin Man fall to the ground, Xiao Bin, who was not far away, was about to walk over here, but his eyes met Da Bin's warning eyes and he stopped abruptly. He whispered: "This scheming woman must be pretending again!"
But this time Xiaobin really wronged Lin Man. She was not pretending this time. The hand that was hit by the stone could not be lifted at all. The piercing pain made her almost speechless.
Even so, she still pushed away Jiang Xuzhi's hand that was applying medicine to her, looked at Dabin and said, "I'll give you 10 billion, and you kill him!"
Afraid that Dabin didn’t like money, she added, “I can give you anything you want!”
As soon as the words came out, Lin Man gasped. Jiang Xuzhi held her hand tightly, which was swollen like a pig's hoof, "Still restless?"
Lin Man ignored Jiang Xuzhi and still placed her hopes on Dabin. However, Dabin didn't even look at Lin Man and walked straight towards Xiaobin.
When Xiaobin, who was carrying luggage, saw his brother appear, he immediately turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, he was easily caught up by Dabin, who was very skilled in martial arts, and was pinned to the ground and beaten!
Lin Man's heart sank when she saw this. For a moment, the word "absurd" kept circling in her mind.
She turned her head and looked at Jiang Xuzhi, asking incredulously, "What tricks did you use to buy them off so loyally?"
If she knew, she could also be bribed.
Lin Man still didn't give up.
Jiang Xuzhi lowered his head, his hands moving non-stop, carefully applying medicine to her while saying in a calm tone: "I carried these two out from the pile of dead bodies. They have been with me for the past ten years."
The implication is that their loyalty was earned with his life. Lin Man felt mixed emotions and looked at Jiang Xuzhi with a complex smile in her eyes: "I didn't expect you to save people. I always thought you were only good at killing people."
For example, killing innocent people.
Lin Man frowned in pain as the gauze wrapped around her. Jiang Xuzhi unconsciously reduced his strength, "No one in this world is born bloodthirsty. They are all forced to do so by reality. If I don't kill him, he will come to kill me one day."
"I was abandoned by my parents when I was young and was left at the door of an orphanage. When I was in the orphanage, I also hoped for a better life."
"When I was ten years old, a group of people armed with guns broke in and took us all away by force. After that, every day was nothing but high-intensity training. We couldn't even fill our stomachs."
"Later I learned that the director of the orphanage had been secretly colluding with the local warlords. They adopted children from all over the country, raised them for a few years, and when the children grew up a little, they sent them to the battlefield to serve as cannon fodder and make a profit."
"So before long, we were driven onto the battlefield. There were tens of thousands of bodies scattered all over the ground. Bullets whizzed by my ears. In the end, only three people survived."
Lin Man never thought that Jiang Xuzhi had such a past. From the moment he appeared in front of her, he gave her a strong and alienated feeling, and the sense of oppression was no less than that Pei Yan had brought her.
However, Lin Man could not empathize with Jiang Xuzhi. She said bluntly: "You have experienced all these hardships, so do you want others to repeat the same mistakes? You are now able to protect those in trouble, but you still follow the footsteps of those warlords and kill innocent people!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xuzhi was stunned for a moment, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
He said slowly, "Are you afraid? Even if you just stay with me out of fear, it will be better if you don't think about running away."
"Do you want to know what happened to the orphanage director and those warlords?"
"I was powerless to take revenge back then, but ten years later, I made them wish they were dead, but they couldn't live. They knelt down and begged for mercy, regretting their actions and crawling on the ground like dogs, but I didn't show any mercy."
"I buried them on the ground where they fought, leaving only their heads exposed. I left them there in the sun and wind, attracting vultures to eat the flesh on their heads. They would not die immediately, but would suffer a long and slow torture until only a broken body was left."
"Tell me, am I a good person?" Jiang Xuzhi's eyes wandered, as if he was questioning Lin Man, or talking to himself, "I have avenged my great vengeance, but my hands are also stained with blood."
Lin Man felt nauseous just by imagining the scene described by Jiang Xuzhi, and was unable to respond to Jiang Xuzhi's questions at all.
At this moment, Dabin stared at Lin Man with an angry face and said loudly: "Mr. Jiang has never killed innocent people! Those he killed were all those who deserved it. You have never experienced the pain we have suffered, so what right do you have to accuse us?"
He wanted to say more, but Jiang Xuzhi's sharp eyes suddenly swept over him, like a cold blade, instantly cutting off the words he was about to say, "Go down."
Dabin said nothing, his head drooped involuntarily, his hands subconsciously clenched into fists, hanging stiffly at both sides of his body, his throat was so dry that he couldn't utter a word, and he retreated with heavy steps.
At this time, Jiang Xuzhi retracted his gaze, his expression returned to calm, and he said in a light tone, "Okay." At this time, the last wound on Lin Man's hand was also bandaged.
The strength in Jiang Xuzhi's hand disappeared, and Lin Man easily pulled her hand out of his arms.
She raised her eyes and looked directly at Jiang Xuzhi, her eyes full of undisguised sarcasm: "Jiang Xuzhi, your subordinates said that you never kill innocent people indiscriminately, and those you kill all deserve it. Then I want to ask, what exactly did I do wrong? You want to dig out my heart and give it to someone else!"
"You want to kill me, so should I be grateful to you?"
absurd.
Lin Man's words pierced her heart, but Jiang Xuzhi raised his head in confusion and asked, "Who said I want to dig out your heart?"
The doubt in his eyes flashed, and after a little thought, he understood the reason. In the previous events, he acted too hastily and evacuated too suddenly, which inevitably left some clues, and it was reasonable for Pei Yan to find out.
Since Pei Yan knew all these things, given the relationship between Lin Man and Pei Yan, it is not surprising that she knew about this.
He slowly leaned against the tree, his eyes fell on Lin Man, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I can't bear to kill you."
His words did not make Lin Man feel at ease.
The surrounding trees rustled in the wind. Lin Man looked directly at Jiang Xuzhi with a mocking look in her eyes. She sneered, "Why? Could it be that Mr. Jiang went to so much trouble to kidnap me here, intending to take me back and worship me as a living Buddha?"
Jiang Xuzhi naturally heard the strong sarcasm in Lin Man's tone, but he pretended not to hear it. He just took out a camouflage bottle of water from his side, handed it to Lin Man, and uttered two words briefly: "Drink water."
“I don’t drink raw water.”
Seeing this, Jiang Xuzhi was not angry. He unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. Then he looked up at Lin Man and couldn't help but chuckled and teased, "You are so delicate."
Lin Man followed him closely, and saw him stand up, put the camouflage water bottle aside, and then walked straight to the trunk of the car. He opened the trunk, rummaged around inside, took out a bottle of mineral water and threw it to Lin Man, "Drink it."
The bottle of water was well packaged and had not been opened. Lin Man no longer refused and took it and drank it in big gulps. Even if she didn't drink it, the baby in her belly would need it. She stopped after drinking a few sips, looked at him and asked, "Since there is water, why do you still want to drink spring water?"
Is spring water delicious?
Lin Man's thoughts couldn't help but drift to the small stream whose water was not very clear.
At this time, Jiang Xuzhi's voice came: "This journey is long, and no one can tell when we can reach the next supply point. Resources are limited, so we must save as much as possible."
"If I was the only one drinking, it would be fine. But Dabin and Xiaobin and I are like brothers, there is no saying who is superior or inferior. When I go out, of course I have to do the same as everyone else."
Jiang Xuzhi meant that since Dabin and Xiaobin were drinking mountain spring water, he should drink it too.
This guy is quite good at winning people's hearts.
-
Jiang Xuzhi leaned against the tree, slowly closed his eyes, and didn't speak for a long time. Lin Man didn't know if he was asleep, but he didn't say anything, and Lin Man was happy with the silence.
She looked around, and her eyes quickly locked on a stone. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
If I use this stone to knock Jiang Xuzhi unconscious and then quickly run away, what are the chances of success?
However, as soon as this idea came to her mind, Lin Man quickly rejected it. Not to mention that Dabin and Xiaobin were nearby, she might not be able to succeed in one strike alone.
At this moment, Jiang Xuzhi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes sharp as torches, and he slowly said, "Why don't you do it?"
This sudden remark made Lin Man's heart sink instantly. She pretended to be calm, but only she knew that her palms were already covered with sweat.
However, it is meaningless to act dumb in front of a smart person. So, Lin Man responded with a stiff upper lip: "I'm afraid that you won't die and will come back to trouble me again."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuzhi couldn't help but laugh.
"Do you know where I'm taking you?" Jiang Xuzhi asked.
Lin Man didn't want to know at all. In her heart, no matter where he went, she would not go.
Lin Man thought that as long as they were still within the territory of China, they would have to pass through the checkpoints. Wherever there were people, there would be a chance for him to escape.
The most urgent task is to show weakness temporarily and try to lower Jiang Xuzhi's vigilance.
The bodyguards at the wedding were divided into small groups by Jiang Xuzhi after they got on the car, and they dispersed and acted on their own. Along the way, they kept changing cars, and the ride time in each car never exceeded 10 minutes. Such frequent changes made Lin Man dizzy.
She had been trying hard to calculate the distance, but now she felt that it was all meaningless.
Lin Man didn't say anything, and Jiang Xuzhi didn't care. He said to himself: "As long as you pass the checkpoint, no one will find you again."
