Chapter 746 - 746 Still Alive
746 Still Alive
“Really?”
Su Xiaolu smiled and squatted down. She patted w.a.n.g Jiang’s chest twice. A few needles popped out of his ears, eyes, and throat and fell to the ground with a ding.
w.a.n.g Jiang was relieved and panted heavily. He was afraid that Su Xiaolu would do something to him again because she couldn’t wait. He took a few breaths and hurriedly said, “I really didn’t kill them. Really, they’re at sea. They’ll return every month. It’s almost the end of the month. They’ll be back at the end of the month.”
Young Master Li should be here at the end of the month.
!!
With Young Master Li around, even the Wisdom King had to be cautious. He was under Li Yu. He had done many things for Li Yu, and Li Yu would not give up on him easily.
“It’s true. What I said is true. Boohoo…”
w.a.n.g Jiang was afraid that Su Xiaolu would not believe him. He was really in too much pain.
Su Xiaolu looked at w.a.n.g Jiang and thought about how credible his words were.
w.a.n.g Jiang was Li Yu’s man. Was he stalling for time and waiting for Li Yu to save him?
Su Xiaolu looked at her two Masters. Even if Li Yu came, it would not be easy for him to save w.a.n.g Jiang. The sword in her hand was not to be trifled with.
Su Xiaolu narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, “Young Master w.a.n.g, I’ll believe you for the time being. If they don’t return at the end of the month, I guarantee that you’ll die a horrible death.”
w.a.n.g Jiang looked at Su Xiaolu and his face turned pale. What kind of devil was this?
He said in a trembling voice, “I’m not lying to you. An Lie and An Cheng are all excellent sailors. They know how to swim…”
As w.a.n.g Jiang spoke, he shivered. He was especially frightened. He thought that since there had been no news for more than a year, the other party definitely did not take An Lie seriously.
He did not expect the world to turn upside down the moment he arrived. From Su Xiaolu’s dangerous eyes, w.a.n.g Jiang felt that Su Xiaolu was especially protective.
An Lie’s family was still alive, but he had enslaved them. When An Lie’s family returned safely, they still had to settle these scores.
w.a.n.g Jiang thought about it in his heart. He knew that he was not Su Xiaolu’s match. He was also waiting for Li Yu to protect him at the end of the month.
“Then I’ll wait a few more days.”
Su Xiaolu said calmly.
w.a.n.g Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.
Liang Yizhi looked at Su Xiaolu and then at Zhou Zhi. He said respectfully, “Your Highness, if you have any instructions, just tell me.”
Zhou Zhi looked at Liang Yizhi and said, “It’s late. Lord Liang, go back first. Leave this place to me.”
“Yes, yes.”
Liang Yizhi heaved a sigh of relief and immediately told his men to retreat. He brought back all the soldiers sent for w.a.n.g Jiang.
He only hoped that Zhou Zhi would not blame him too much. It was best if he forgot him.
After Liang Yizhi left with his men, Zhou Zhi said to Su Xiaolu, “Xiaolu, why don’t you leave him to me?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Okay, thank you, Fourth Brother.”
The corners of w.a.n.g Jiang’s mouth twitched and he broke out in cold sweat. Just as he was about to speak, he inadvertently met Zhou Zhi’s gaze and shivered.
Zhou Zhi spoke gently to Su Xiaolu, but the way he looked at him was clearly filled with coldness. It was not an exaggeration to say that his gaze could kill.
“Girl, let’s go home and sleep. After a long night, my old bones are about to fall apart.”
Old Wu pursed his lips and complained.
He looked at Zhou Zhi and glared at him.
Su Xiaolu nodded and looked at Zhou Zhi. “Thank you, Fourth Brother.”
Zhou Zhi smiled and shook his head slightly. He said gently, “It’s no trouble.”
Gui You did not say anything. The three of them left together.
Su Xiaolu walked out of the courtyard of the study and saw a woman hiding timidly, but she seemed to have mustered her courage and walked out.
“Zhao, Miss Zhao… What, what happened to him?”
Ruyue was a little afraid of Su Xiaolu, but she was also worried about w.a.n.g Jiang. She was very conflicted. She loved and hated w.a.n.g Jiang.
Su Xiaolu looked at Ruyue and said gently, “Miss, why do you have to do this? There’re many more trees out there. Why are you hanging onto this tree? I won’t find trouble with you, but don’t keep appearing in front of me. I’ll vent my anger on you.”
She did not know if An Lie was dead or alive. She had never thought of making things difficult for the people around w.a.n.g Jiang.
However, if she appeared in front of her, she did not have the patience.
“I-I’m sorry…”
Ruyue trembled and quickly moved aside.
She had just secretly seen Su Xiaolu. She looked like a gentle and weak little girl, but when she fought, she was especially terrifying, like an executioner.
Su Xiaolu and her masters returned.
Su Xiaolu returned to the small courtyard. She was relieved to hand w.a.n.g Jiang over to Zhou Zhi.
Moreover, An Lie’s matter could not be rushed. w.a.n.g Jiang’s last words were trustworthy. Businessmen prioritized benefits. An Lie and An Cheng were good sailors. They had gone out to sea and had an extraordinary understanding of the sea area.
An Xiaoou and Mother An lived by the sea and knew far more about seafood than ordinary people.
Four free labor could save them a lot of money.
However, An Cheng had a leg problem and Mother An was not in good health. They would only exploit them without respect. She did not know if they could survive.
After washing up the blood on her body, Su Xiaolu lay back on the bed.

Zhou Zhi got someone to bring w.a.n.g Jiang away.
w.a.n.g Jiang was like a cripple. There were still four silver needles sealed in his hands and feet. He could not lift his limbs at all.
w.a.n.g Jiang begged for mercy along the way, but Jin Si and the others ignored him.
If they found him annoying, they would cover his mouth with a smelly cloth.
It was impossible to tell if it was tears or snot on w.a.n.g Jiang’s face.
He was brought to a courtyard. Zhou Zhi said indifferently, “Throw him into the eel pond.”
w.a.n.g Jiang’s eyes widened in fear as he made m.u.f.fled sounds from his nose.
These people were simply devils. They were clearly kind in front of Su Xiaolu, but when they turned around, they were like evil spirits.
w.a.n.g Jiang didn’t know what an eel pond was. He only saw a small pond. He was lifted up and thrown down with a thud.
The pond was not deep. When he was thrown in, his mouth and nose would not be submerged. Occasionally, water would enter his eyes.
Something seemed to be swimming in the pool.
w.a.n.g Jiang felt something hit his ear and was shocked.
What, what was it?
Jin Liu and Jin Si revealed their white teeth and smiled evilly.
Jin Si said, “How dare you touch Miss Su? You really don’t want to live a long life. Sleep well here for the next few days. Don’t worry, your life is still useful. We won’t let you die.”
But it was impossible for him to have an easy time. Their master was very protective.
An Lie was Miss Su’s eldest disciple. If Miss Su cared about him, Master would definitely care.
Who did w.a.n.g Jiang think he was?
“Why don’t we fill his mouth into an iron ball? When he spits out the cloth in his mouth later, he’ll start screaming. It’ll be so noisy.”
Jin Liu thought for a moment and said to Jin Si.
Jin Si looked at the terrified w.a.n.g Jiang and nodded with a scheming smile. “Alright, go ahead.”
