Chapter 483 Setting a Trap
The other three men all had their eyes widened, faces filled with disbelief as they looked at Tang Chuxia.
Although Tang Chuxia’s face was pale as a ghost at the moment, and she had lost 600 milliliters of blood, could she actually stand up?
That wasn’t the key point; the most crucial thing was, how could she not feel weak?
Keep in mind, the other three men couldn’t move, despite exerting all their effort.
Tang Chuxia flexed her wrist. "My opinion is that all three of you are related to Tang Wanqiu, and Tang Wanqiu has been captured at this moment, which means there’s still one person related to Tang Wanqiu who hasn’t shown up!"
She raised a finger.
That’s not the key point. Yang Yingjie said urgently, "Quick, think of a way to help us get out!"
Tang Chuxia waved her hand. "Don’t be in such a rush. Before the fourth person returns, you’re all temporarily safe, and besides, I can’t just suddenly get three men out of here, can I?"
The key was that her current state really wasn’t suitable for getting rid of three burdens.
Jin Haidong shouted, "Miss, as long as you help me get out, I’ll definitely give you a lot of rewards!"
Lu Qiming immediately stated, "Our family will also pay, as long as you help!"
Tang Chuxia sighed.
One after another, they are all young masters, only knowing how to say this; that won’t do.
Tang Chuxia said, "Let’s not think about getting out for now, gentlemen. I’m still curious about Su Lan’s purpose!"
The reason she revealed that she could move was to get their cooperation.
Yang Yingjie, however, calmed down. "What do you want to know? Who is this Su Lan?"
Tang Chuxia massaged her temples and found the brown sugar Su Lan had taken out, unceremoniously making herself a large bowl of it.
She had lost a lot of blood and was still feeling dizzy at the moment; she had to replenish her energy.
A big bowl of brown sugar water, though sickeningly sweet in her mouth, temporarily alleviated her dizziness.
"Who Su Lan is, I’m curious too, but if she is looking to gather four men, and me, the unlucky one, that definitely means she’s crazy!"
In fact, Tang Chuxia had some guesses, but she couldn’t be sure.
Su Lan was capable, but seemed a bit slow-witted; indeed, the saying holds true— not everyone is Tang Chuxia, with both intelligence and mental acuity being too rare.
Tang Chuxia knew today was a matter of life and death for her; she had considered what exactly was going on.
After being brought here by Su Lan, she could imagine what would happen next. Although she could just leave, Tang Chuxia was more aware that Su Lan wouldn’t have left them here if she wasn’t confident in her backup plan.
There was no need to take risks; she was waiting for the last person to appear, and then everything would have an answer.
It’s only after one finds an answer for themselves that they can be at peace in death.
But by this time, the outside world was already in chaos.
Gu Beihuai was not mediocre; the one in charge of Tianji. When he issued the command to search, he already figured out many problems, and he also opened the wooden box Tang Chuxia had left for him.
The contents almost made him explode with anger.
It was a will.
That is to say, Tang Chuxia never intended to escape this life-threatening ordeal; even more, she seemed to be looking forward to it.
"Third Brother, do you know something?"
Gu Beihuai went straight to Tang Jianzheng.
Tang Jianzheng looked at Gu Beihuai and shook his head. "Still not calm enough!"
Gu Beihuai...
He narrowed his eyes, looking at Tang Jianzheng.
Although Gu Beihuai was easily thrown out in front of Tang Chuxia, being in control of Tianji, his IQ definitely surpassed Tang Jianzheng’s.
The two had battled many times.
Now, sitting together, Tang Jianzheng said, "Haven’t you already made some guesses?"
Gu Beihuai gritted his teeth. "Xiaxia once told me she’s not Tang Chuxia!"
Tang Jianzheng sighed, "She never intended to hide it. Otherwise, would you have fallen in love with her?"
Tang Jianzheng knew very well what kind of person his own little sister was, and how much Gu Beihuai had disliked Tang Chuxia in the past, without a shred of pretense.
"Where could she be?"
Gu Beihuai was very troubled.
He absolutely wouldn’t allow anything bad to happen to Tang Chuxia, and even if something did happen, he would have to find her.
Tang Jianzheng shook his head, "If I knew, I would have gone after her already. She must not be hiding on purpose; it’s more likely that someone else has made a move!"
While they were discussing, Qin Zhan came over and whispered to Gu Beihuai, "Brother Huai, Lu Family’s Lu Qiming, Jin Family’s Jin Haidong, and Yang Family’s Yang Yingjie have all disappeared, and just now, Hu Mingcheng was also taken away."
Now Gu Beihuai and Tang Jianzheng couldn’t help but take this seriously.
"What do these four guys have to do with Xiaxia?"
Gu Beihuai rubbed his chin, and Qin Zhan suddenly said, "Lu Qiming’s father married Wen Wenqing, Jin Haidong’s father also married Wen Wenqing, and isn’t Yang Yingjie’s uncle the one who married Wen Wenqing?"
As for Hu Mingcheng, if one were to really stretch for a connection to Wen Wenqing, it would be that he dated Tang Wanqiu!
But what did these clues have to do with Tang Chuxia?
"How is Wen Wenqing doing now?"
Tang Jianzheng asked, and Gu Beihuai responded, "She has already been exchanged and should have left by now!"
Tang Jianzheng continued, "What about Wu Siyuan?"
Gu Beihuai was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to.
He swiftly ordered people to find Wu Siyuan.
Qin Zhan was completely clueless, not understanding why they needed to find Wu Siyuan at this time.
What was the connection?
Tang Jianzheng and Gu Beihuai certainly wouldn’t explain to him.
As they were about to head out, Third Grandpa and the old Taoist appeared, "Stop searching!"
Third Grandpa announced, "Wu Yue has arrived!"
Gu Beihuai clenched his fists.
"Is he the one behind this?"
Third Grandpa shook his head, "That guy doesn’t have the capability to do something this big. This matter is much more complicated than you think!"
The old Taoist also had a solemn look, "The one behind this is finally showing a flaw. It’s just a matter of seeing how far that girl Xiaxia can go!"
Gu Beihuai and Tang Jianzheng exchanged glances, "What exactly are you up to?"
The old Taoist held back Tang Jianzheng, "When did your stability start to waver?"
It wasn’t that Tang Jianzheng’s stability had worsened, but he couldn’t figure out what the old Taoist and Third Grandpa were really up to.
Even Gu Beihuai’s eyes were on fire.
"The death calamity on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month was just a sham, wasn’t it?"
Gu Beihuai spoke word by word, provoking laughter from Third Grandpa.
"Have you finally caught on, kid?"
The old Taoist followed up, "Indeed, concern creates chaos. You actually missed such an obvious trick!"
At that moment, Tang Jianzheng had a realization, "What are you setting up with this plot?"
Third Grandpa shook his head, "You’re mistaken, we’re not the ones setting things up. We’ve only just figured it out ourselves!"
Qin Zhan scratched his head. He really suspected that these people weren’t speaking Chinese. Why did each word make sense on its own, but when put together, it felt like his brain couldn’t keep up?
He didn’t understand.
Was this what it felt like to be intellectually outmatched?
Qin Zhan was hopping mad, but then he saw Gu Beihuai take off running.
