Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Don’t Make a Sound
Su Lan stood in front of Tang Chuxia, her eyes radiating danger.
“Chuxia, what kind of tricks are you playing exactly?”
Her demeanor was off, and Chuxia noticed it too.
Before, she had tried to divert Su Lan’s attention with unrelated matters, but after two attempts, it was proving ineffective.
Tang Chuxia looked at her innocently.
Her eyes especially beautiful.
“Sister Su, don’t look at me like that, I’m scared!”
Her expression was too obvious; Su Lan snorted coldly, “You, scared?”
Su Lan went out and dragged three men back; Chuxia’s face was a picture of helplessness.
She thought they had escaped, but it turned out they were no match for Su Lan and were captured again.
Now the three were in a sorry state, not only bruised and swollen, but with broken legs as well!
Tang Chuxia clicked her tongue, feeling some sympathy for the trio.
Fortunately, these three were tough enough not to sell her out. It didn’t matter to her how they explained it, only that Yang Yingjie’s eyes narrowed when he saw Hu Mingcheng.
Even the dumbest could guess at what was going on now.
Su Lan’s target was indeed Hu Mingcheng.
“Now, rest up and don’t think about escaping. Next time, it won’t be just a broken leg but a lost life!”
Su Lan stretched lazily, warning Chuxia, “You better behave yourself. You did well this time by not running away with them. Your legs won’t need to be broken!”
Tang Chuxia: …
Actually, she just wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold.
But that was something she couldn’t say out loud.
She smiled obediently, “Sister Su, how could I think of running away? I like you the most!”
Su Lan sneered, “Put away your cunning thoughts; you don’t think I know what you’re up to?”
Tang Chuxia was quiet.
Her demeanor exceptionally cooperative.
“Stay well, because later you’ll be bled again!”
Tang Chuxia: …
This crazy woman was still fixated on her blood.
Su Lan glanced at the three lame men on the ground and snorted, “You better stay in line!”
As Su Lan left the room, Tang Chuxia wanted to ask: Is it really appropriate to leave one woman with four men in one room? She was a normal person, and such actions were bad for her reputation!
But she couldn’t say it.
After Su Lan left and was far enough away that she couldn’t hear them, Yang Yingjie, looking puffy, asked Chuxia, “What’s really going on? How did she know which way we’d run?”
Tang Chuxia shrugged, “Obviously, she’s very familiar with this place!”
Yang Yingjie didn’t suspect Chuxia had betrayed them, but he looked at Hu Mingcheng with some confusion and asked, “Is he the person you suspect?”
Tang Chuxia nodded, “Of course, he is!”
After Chuxia confirmed it, Hu Mingcheng asked bewildered, “What do you mean?”
Tang Chuxia responded, “Shut up, it has nothing to do with you!”
Hu Mingcheng felt like Chuxia was insane—he clearly mattered, or why else would he be brought here? She obviously didn’t want to tell him!
Jin Haidong and Lu Qiming had already passed out from the pain; their bodies couldn’t take it anymore.
“Are you really waiting for her to bleed you again?”
Yang Yingjie thought Tang Chuxia wasn’t that foolish.
Tang Chuxia pointed at Hu Mingcheng, “He has appeared, so we must squat down and see a result!”
Hu Mingcheng lowered his voice and said, “What do you mean exactly? If I remember correctly, the only one with a small blue mole on her ear is Tang Wanqiu!”
Tang Chuxia gave him a look of approval.
“Wow, not bad! You’re very observant!”
Hu Mingcheng: …
He didn’t really want this compliment.
Yet Tang Chuxia stated, “Actually, there’s even more than you think!”
Yang Yingjie asked doubtfully, “What do you mean?”
Hu Mingcheng mockingly summarized the conversation he just heard between Tang Chuxia and Su Lan, which depressed Yang Yingjie.
If he hadn’t been incapacitated and injured, he would definitely have asked Tang Chuxia, “Where on earth do you see me as someone’s boy toy?”
But he couldn’t ask, and he still had to plead with Tang Chuxia, “My leg!”
Tang Chuxia responded, “I could help you align it, but the conditions are limited right now, so we’ll have to wait. By tomorrow at the latest, there should be results!”
Hu Mingcheng?
He really was convinced.
But when he saw Tang Chuxia touch his leg a couple of times and stuff a piece of white cloth into his mouth, he really wanted to spit it out. However, right at that moment, Tang Chuxia acted, and the instant severe pain made Yang Yingjie bite down hard on the piece of cloth, not caring if it had wrapped around a corpse before.
Hu Mingcheng was stunned by the sight.
“Weren’t you drugged?”
He thought Tang Chuxia was incapacitated like him.
Tang Chuxia nodded, “Yes, but I have a special talent, and I can already move now!” She glanced at Hu Mingcheng’s buttocks.
“Right, your floral boxers!”
Tang Chuxia went over and kicked him over. The embroidered boxers now sat under his buttocks, keeping them from being an eyesore.
Hu Mingcheng genuinely expressed his gratitude through gritted teeth.
Tang Chuxia generously stated, “It’s nothing, just lending a hand!”
Hu Mingcheng: …
He always knew he’d struggle to like Tang Chuxia, this woman who was troublesome ever since childhood, never allowing a man to feel strong, continuously undermining his ego.
Yang Yingjie spit out the white cloth in his mouth, pointing at Lu Qiming and Jin Haidong, “Their legs are broken too!”
Misfortune shared is misfortune halved; they were captured together, so it wouldn’t be fair to show partiality.
Tang Chuxia quickly stuffed the white cloth into Jin Haidong’s mouth, worried he might not cooperate, and pushed Jin Haidong’s head next to Hu Mingcheng’s leg, “Block it, if it falls off, we’ll all be cleaned up!”
Hu Mingcheng, looking at Jin Haidong’s mouth, felt uneasy. But being immovable, he could only watch as Tang Chuxia adjusted Jin Haidong’s bones. The fracture in Jin Haidong’s leg was different from Yang Yingjie’s, so it wasn’t completely successful at first and needed another go.
But the white cloth in Jin Haidong’s mouth had already fallen out, and he instinctively wanted to scream. However, Tang Chuxia acted again right then, resulting in Hu Mingcheng clenching his teeth tight, daring not to let out a scream.
Why was it that when Jin Haidong’s leg was adjusted, Hu Mingcheng suffered?
It was because the unreliable Jin Haidong hadn’t kept biting the cloth but instead bit Hu Mingcheng’s thigh.
That sensation.
Only Hu Mingcheng would know it.
Tang Chuxia looked around, finding nothing handy and straight to stabilize their legs, her gaze finally landed on the white cloth bundle tucked in the corner.
Yang Yingjie looked at her horrifically.
“You’re not thinking of using that, are you?”
Tang Chuxia sighed, “I’ve run out of options!” After saying that, she stuffed the white cloth back into Jin Haidong’s mouth, “Don’t make a sound!”
