Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Mr Xie Is So Cold-Blooded

Mu Zhi was afraid that Eric would be terrified, so she instinctively moved in his direction. Then she said to Eric softly in the dark, “Don’t fret, mommy’s here.”

Both of them had their limbs tied so they could not move. Fortunately, Eric remained calm. He analyzed, “Mommy, when you asked her about Rao Xue just now, I sensed a tinge of discomfort in her reaction. This means that she knows Rao Xue, or this has something to do with Rao Xue.”

Mu Zhi felt relieved as she listened to Eric explaining the situation to her.

He did not fret at this moment and could still hold his cards.

This was actually a good sign. If both of them could remain calm, then Mu Zhi could plan their escape.

Mu Zhi spoke to Eric in the dark, “You stay here and don’t move. I’ll try to move around to see if there’s any way we can escape.”

Although they were tied up, she could jump around and have a look as long as she stood up.

Mu Zhi did not know why she wasn’t afraid at that time. Perhaps it was her past experiences or her son’s presence, that imposed courage in her.

After Eric responded, Mu Zhi began to fumble around cautiously in the dark, seeking any sharp object that could be used to cut the rope on her.

…

The only light source present was from a searchlight along with the spotlight of a Mercedes G63 from a distance. A woman in a neat leather jacket got out of the car.

She walked towards the masked woman. The masked woman unveiled herself and revealed her face. She looked surprisingly young without the mask on.

Rao Xue frowned as she glanced at the woman, “How did it go?”

“I caught her. But a child happened to be with her, so I took him along as well.”

“And?”

Rao Xue’s voice was chilly as winter.

The woman continued quietly, “There was a driver too, but I killed him.”

A flash of anger suddenly flashed across Rao Xue’s face when she heard that someone was killed. She raised her hand and landed it onto the woman’s face with a slap.

“Idiot! Who directed you to kill?”

If someone was killed and Mu Zhi and Eric went missing, Xie Xiu would search for them himself!

Then Rao Xue would have to make direct contact with Xie Xiu, increasing her risk of exposure.

After being slapped, the woman held back and glanced at Rao Xue again.

She bit her lip and apologized, “I’m sorry, boss. I didn’t know that I wasn’t allowed to kill. I’ll be more careful in the future.”

“Next time? Do you know what we’re doing right now? If there were another time, you would have been killed! Don’t keep thinking that you have second chances.”

“Yes!”

The woman lowered her head once more.

Rao Xue glanced at the woman and spoke no more.

Sometimes she felt that she was like Xie Xiu, cultivating killers.

But it didn’t matter anymore.

This girl was an orphan. She was sold by her adoptive parents for food. Rao Xue had taken pity on her and saved her.

Rao Xue glared at her once more but did not continue reprimanding her.

She went back to her big G and lit up a cigarette in the dark. Then she rang Xie Xiu up.

When Xie Xiu saw the unknown number on his phone screen, he picked up almost immediately, “Finally willing to show up?”

Their organization had a special way of contacting each other. Each of them has their special phone codes.

At this moment, Rao Xue was using her unique phone code to contact Xie Xiu.

Rao Xue smiled softly on the other end of the phone, “Do you still remember who I am? Does that mean that I still have a place in your heart?”

Xie Xiu sneered when he heard these words, “You really hold a high account of yourself, don’t you? You don’t deserve to live in this world for having zero integrity and faults!”

As he finished, Rao Xue’s smile froze. She ignored his words and hesitated. Until Xie Xiu was going to end the call, she spoke, “Let’s meet at Song Nam Street, your villa. I have something to tell you.”

“Is it about Mu Zhi?”

Xie Xiu did not agree to Rao Xue’s request. He frowned as he asked her another question.

Rao Xue hesitated.

A glint of sorrow flashed through her face, and she continued, “Mu Zhi really has a special place in your heart that you even have time to care about her going missing while busy at work.”

“Then I shall go straight to the point. Both your son and your woman are in my hands. I hope that Mr. Xie would give me 60% of authority over Organization Z in exchange for their freedom.”

Rao Xue did not beat around the bush.

On the other end of the call, Xie Xiu was firm at his end too, “No.”

“Are you not afraid that I’d kill them?”

“You can kill the boy. He isn’t my son. As for Mu Zhi… I don’t think you’d kill her. Even if you did, I would take your life for her.”

Xie Xiu replied coldly.

It was cold enough to give anyone who listened to horripilation.

Rao Xue knew that Xie Xiu had this knack.

But she did not expect that… Xie Xiu would be so cold-blooded.

…

Mu Zhi swept her eyes across the whole room in the dark. There were no sharp objects, only an old abandoned phone in the corner of the room to her disappointment.

The phone was broken and discarded there.

Mu Zhi told Eric in frustration, “There’s nothing around that I can put to use, but I think I can try to untie the rope for you first. Let me try.”

With that said, Mu Zhi squatted in front of Eric and began to untie his rope carefully.

Eric cooperated with his mother. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He had more flexibility since he was still very young.

Eric had bent his arms when they were tied together, so his knot was quite loose.

Although it took some strength for Mu Zhi to untie it, it worked.

After Eric’s hands were freed, he quickly unfastened his feet and worked on Mu Zhi. Then he dashed towards the dilapidated phone.

He tried to use it, but the phone was out of service.

Then he searched for other tools he could use.

He searched and found an unusable radio.

After contemplating for a while, Eric began to connect the parts of these two items!
