Gu Mian immediately threw the backpack in her hands to the man. She grabbed Su Qianxun’s hand and started to run. Both of them were screaming for help at the top of their lungs.
Just as the men were about to start chasing the two young women, someone kicked the metal door open. Tang Zui and Long Sijue led the charge. When they saw what was going on, they kicked a few steel bars off the ground, and a few of them pierced the backs of four of the men. The men immediately collapsed on the floor.
Su Qianxun and Gu Mian ran until they reached the edge of the abandoned building. Their faces turned pale with fear the moment they looked downwards. Even though they did not know what the liquid down there was, it was obviously corrosive.
“Stay right there, and I’ll spare your lives,” Long Sijue growled.
When the two men heard that, they looked at each other. The man who was holding Su Qianxun’s backpack immediately threw it downstairs. He then turned and fled. When Su Qianxun saw that her backpack was about to fall into the corrosive liquid, she almost instinctively went to catch it.
There was only one thought in her mind at this moment. ‘The birthday present that I’m going to give Long Sijue is inside there. I must not let the bag fall into the liquid!’
Su Qianxun dashed forward and managed to catch the strap of her backpack. However, she ended up falling off the edge.
At that very moment, Long Sijue felt his heart stop. He let out a sudden and maniacal growl before he dashed toward Su Qianxun like he had gone mad.
Before Su Qianxun fell into the liquid, Long Sijue managed to grab her arm. Su Qianxun was clutching her backpack tightly with one of her hands, while her other hand was being grabbed by Long Sijue. She glanced at the tangerine liquid below her. Something fell into the liquid, and it immediately turned into white smoke with a sizzle.
At the same time, Gu Mian who was freaking out accidentally stepped on a metal bar. She slipped and fell backward. She screamed in shock, and her body started falling downwards.
As Gu Mian was falling the air, someone suddenly hugged her. Tang Zui had wrapped her in his arms and was falling along with her.
“Mian Mian!” Su Qianxun screamed and widened her eyes in shock.
“Tang Zui!” Si Mancheng screamed and dashed over together with Ye Gu.
Long Sijue, too, was so shocked that he was drenched in cold sweat. He saw that Tang Zui had grabbed a metal bar that jutted out from the second floor. He immediately pulled Su Qianxun up with force.
Su Qianxun immediately rushed over to see how Gu Mian was doing, but Long Sijue angrily dragged her back. He could not get what had just happened out of his mind. If he had been 0.1 seconds slower, she would have probably died without even leaving a dead body behind.
“It’s just a backpack. Is it worth your life?” Long Sijue really wanted to choke her to death when he saw her pale face. He suddenly grabbed the backpack in her bosom with force. He wanted to throw it downstairs. However, Su Qianxun let out an abrupt scream and tightened her grip on the backpack. “No, don’t touch my backpack. I can’t lose it. I can’t!”
Long Sijue did not expect Su Qianxun to have so much strength in her. Even though he used a lot of force, he was unable to grab the bag from her.
“I can’t lose, can’t lose it… Mian, Mian… Mian Mian…” Even though Su Qianxun was holding onto the backpack for dear life, she did not forget about Gu Mian and Tang Zui.
Long Sijue looked at her in disbelief. He felt that she must have gone crazy to treasure a backpack so much. So what if there was something really valuable inside?
Tang Zui held on to Gu Mian with one hand and the metal bar with the other. Under normal circ.u.mstances, he would have no problem making it out alive as well as helping Gu Mian up at the same time. However, he had injured his hand yesterday. Because of how much strain his hand was under, blood started dripping along his wrist.
