Chapter 389 One Slash
As things changed, the high-rise buildings became low-lying villages, and then the heavily guarded outer forest. After explaining who you were, the guards spoke with those inside and then let you pass.
The place was very spacious. After driving for a while, more people appeared, mostly unfamiliar faces, but there were also more local faces, which must be due to Liu Linzhou's years of management.
"Miss Lin, is that right?"
Outside, a woman dressed in a white and blue nanny uniform walked over and bowed respectfully.
"Yes," Lin Xiu replied.
"Please come with me."
"Eleven, get off the bus," Lin Xiu said, then stepped out first.
As Shiyi stared at the back of the person in front of him, he came back to his senses in a daze. For some reason, at this moment he felt that he was farther away from her, as if an invisible and intangible high wall had been built between them.
Xiuxiu, I don't want to leave you.
He looked down at her hands. Even though he didn't know how far this love would go, he still wanted to stay by her side, even if it meant his own destruction.
The two got out of the car and walked a distance, with the woman in front leading the way.
The road ahead looks like an ordinary village, but the further you go in, the more off-road vehicles you can see that you won't find in the city, and the more menacing they seem.
Some passersby glanced at the two of them and then looked away, causing Eleven's body to tense slightly.
He hadn't noticed it while in the car, but now that he looked closely, he realized these people were holding guns!
This was the first time he had ever been to a place like this since he was a child, and also the first time he had ever seen weapons that he had only ever seen on television.
What Lin Xiu is doing is more complicated than he imagined.
The boy looked up at the girl in front of him. After a while, Lin Xiu stopped, as if she could sense his tension.
"Eleven, why don't you go back first?" Lin Xiu said softly.
She had underestimated the situation; she hadn't expected that the region where Liu Linzhou was located would be like this.
Even if one is to grow during the National Day holiday, it should be done step by step.
"I'm with Xiuxiu, I'm not afraid." Eleven forced a smile: "I work for Xiuxiu in Haishi, I'll grow up eventually, it's okay."
If this is your world, then I will enter your world.
"Let's keep going." Lin Xiu thought for a moment and continued forward.
The group quickened their pace and became unusually quiet, until... a piercing scream came from the side room!
"Ah ho ho ho." The man's scream was sharp and piercing, and the surrounding air seemed to drop by more than ten degrees, making people want to hug themselves tightly.
The moment she heard the sound, Lin Xiu grabbed Eleven. When she saw that the other person's face was only pale, she composed herself.
Frowning, she didn't go into the main house, but looked at the side house, where screams came one after another, like a severed throat.
"What's going on inside?" he asked, already having a guess in mind.
The maid lowered her head, her body trembled, and she shook her head, keeping her mouth shut, indicating that she didn't know.
She was so scared that she didn't even dare to speak, and Lin Xiu didn't force her.
Just then, Liu Linzhou's assistant came out of the main wooden house. He was dressed in local clothes and looked perfectly at ease.
"Miss Lin, the master sent me to escort you inside," the assistant said with a smile, his gaze subtly sweeping over Eleven, whose face was slightly pale.
"Mm," Lin Xiu replied casually, but her gaze remained fixed on the side room.
The assistant's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Speaking of which, Miss Lin knows someone inside too."
"Chuck?"
"How did Miss Lin know?" the assistant asked in surprise. He had thought Lin Xiu would have to wait for him to tell her before she could think of it.
nonsense.
Liu Linzhou was decisive and ruthless in his actions, and ending things quickly would be most satisfying for him. However, the people inside were asking him to give some unknown order to continue howling, so it could only be Chuck.
How could Liu Linzhou die a complete death when he was driven to the brink of despair?
Lin Xiuqing's cold face showed no sign of anything amiss. The shouts around her seemed to go unheard. When her assistant asked a question and received no reply, he realized he shouldn't have asked. So he put on a smile and looked towards the side room, a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes.
"It's him."
"Why are you locked up here? Doesn't Liu Linzhou find it noisy?" Lin Xiu looked towards the main house, where, according to Chaochao, the other party had been staying recently.
Upon hearing this, the assistant replied with a smile, "The master said to shave three thousand pieces of his flesh, cook them, and feed them to the dogs. He's not allowed to die, so that his barking will sound better, and it will also set an example for others!"
"Well."
As soon as she finished speaking, Eleven turned pale, covered her mouth, and the maid next to her trembled even more violently.
Three thousand cuts?
"Can a person survive after being cut three thousand times?" Lin Xiu asked, slightly surprised, but her voice remained unchanged.
“Of course, if the master doesn’t want him to die, he won’t die.” The assistant’s words seemed to carry a chill.
Lin Xiu unconsciously pulled her sleeves back, her face as calm as lukewarm water.
She truly loathed Chuck, and what he had done to Chaochao was now a form of retribution.
At this moment, Chuck's fate was irrelevant to her; it was just that hearing such disgusting screams and... Eleven's condition in this setting was irrelevant.
"Wait for me somewhere far away during the National Day holiday."
"Hmm." Eleven turned around, her pale face shaking repeatedly, filled with refusal: "I'll stay with Sister Xiu."
The assistant glanced around before smiling and saying, "Mr. Liu only allowed Miss Lin to go in."
"Can I go in and stop the noise for a while? My friend is scared," Lin Xiu said.
The assistant hesitated, looked Eleven in the eye, and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter; it requires your approval, sir."
"I'll go talk to him." Lin Xiu patted Eleven on the shoulder and told him to wait somewhere far away.
She doesn't like hearing random noises when she talks, and Eleven is still young, so she might not be able to stand it.
The assistant gave Eleven a deep look before following him inside. It seemed that the master was going to be in trouble this time, because of this Miss Lin.
After his own surgery, he not only stayed with Ms. Lin all night, but also sent people to guard the hospital every day, notifying her as soon as there was any news. He couldn't sit still for a moment after hearing the news that someone had come.
He had never seen Liu Linzhou like that before; even a cold-blooded demon could have feelings.
However, looking at the person behind him, and countless others, he felt that the future was uncertain.
"Will you come with me?" the maid asked, trembling as she listened to the screams.
"No, I'll wait here." The boy's face was bloodless, his delicate eyebrows and eyes were red, but he still stood firmly in place.
He wanted to wait for Xiuxiu to come out.
Inside the room, the assistant led Lin Xiu to the study: "The master is waiting for you inside."
"it is good."
The assistant went to stand guard at the door, and Lin Xiu took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
The subtle, rich scent of cologne wafted through the air. The neat and orderly room was exceptionally spacious. Behind the desk, a stern-looking man in an executive chair was reviewing documents. Hearing the sound, he looked up. His long, wide phoenix eyes seemed to sparkle like stars, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses sat on his straight nose. His red lips were smiling.
Looking down, one takes one's breath away. Today, he is wearing a wine-red deep V-neck shirt, which contrasts sharply with his fair skin. A long red ribbon extends from the collar of the shirt, fastened with a gold button, and extends down to his belt.
The black suit trousers accentuated his superior physique. The only flaw was the cast on his left leg, which somehow added a touch of elegance, giving him an indescribable air of nobility.
Gods in hell, demons among the gods!
