Chapter 208 Li Chenxu Arrives

Everyone was shocked by what they saw; probably no one expected such a thing to happen at such a crucial moment.

Especially Mu Xiaoyu, who quickly recovered from her initial surprise. Without time to think, she grabbed Bai Luo and tried to run inside. However, almost everyone in the room was Qiangzi's man; only a small number were not.

Mu Xiaoyu was about to run to the door with Bai Luo in her arms when they were stopped by the scarred man who had picked her up in the car.

"Step aside!"

The scarred man didn't say a word; his tall figure simply blocked Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Luo's path.

Qiangzi was already walking towards them, completely unhurried, as if victory was already assured. Outside, there was a rapid sound of footsteps; someone was approaching.

Thinking of what the messenger had just said, Mu Xiaoyu's hope grew stronger.

She turned and stared coldly at Qiangzi, forcing herself to calm down: "You're going to kill me?"

“Of course, if you had just behaved, you could have kept your life, and the Bai family girl wouldn’t have been harmed. But you just had to be so disobedient. No one knows a daughter better than her father, and Mu Pengzheng had long expected you to do this…”

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work, the people outside are coming."

The scarred man interrupted Qiangzi, speaking impatiently. Qiangzi, knowing the situation was urgent, said nothing more and lunged at Mu Xiaoyu with his knife. The scarred man, to prevent Mu Xiaoyu's escape, tightly gripped her body.

The vast difference in physical strength between men and women meant that Mu Xiaoyu had no chance to struggle at this moment. Just as Qiangzi's knife was about to stab her, Bai Luo, who was standing to the side, used almost all her strength to push Qiangzi away.

At the same time, the people outside seemed to have arrived and began banging on the door frame. There weren't many people inside to begin with, and although they didn't know how many were outside, after a couple of bangs, the people inside couldn't hold on any longer.

Qiangzi didn't waste any more words. He exchanged a glance with the scarred man, had the others restrain Bai Luo, and dragged Mu Xiaoyu to escape through the window.

We can't kill Mu Xiaoyu right now; she's their lifeline. We can kill her once they're safe.

Unfortunately, they were far slower than Li Chenxu and his group. Before they could even get out, the door was smashed open.

The next second, the cold and terrifying Li Chenxu appeared before them. The moment he saw Mu Xiaoyu, the expression on Li Chenxu's face was like that of a demon from hell, enough to send chills down one's spine just by looking at him.

"Let her go."

When Li Chenxu spoke, it was just three words, as if squeezed out from between his teeth. His sinister eyes seemed to want to tear people like Qiangzi to shreds.

This was the first time Qiangzi had met Li Chenxu, and the first time he had witnessed the power of Li Chenxu's aura. Seeing Li Chenxu like this, his throat involuntarily tightened with nervousness.

Knowing what Mu Pengzheng had said before, he could only grit his teeth and force himself to say, "If you want us to release her, you can let us leave now, and we'll release her."

"Are you negotiating terms with me?"

Apart from his dark, deep eyes, Li Chenxu looked remarkably calm at this moment, and it was impossible to tell that he was nervous about Mu Xiaoyu.

But Mu Xiaoyu knew that the calmer Li Chenxu appeared at this moment, the more panicked he was inside.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on Li Chenxu's hands, which were clenched tightly into fists at his sides. She could even see the faint red seeping through the creases of his fists.

This clearly shows just how much force Li Chenxu used...

Mu Xiaoyu felt a lump in her throat and suddenly felt like crying. She opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Li Chenxu, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word.

Li Chenxu sensed Mu Xiaoyu's gaze, and a faint smile appeared on his expressionless face, as if to soothe Mu Xiaoyu's emotions. He mouthed "Don't be afraid" to Mu Xiaoyu.

Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyu's eyes welled up with tears, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.

But she knew very well that the more critical the situation, the calmer she needed to be; she couldn't let Li Chenxu down at this moment.

“Mr. Li, we are indeed negotiating with you. Originally, we were going to kill this girl from the Mu family, but now that things have developed to this point, we just want to save our lives. As long as you let us leave, we will release her.”

Releasing Mu Xiaoyu was simply impossible for them! Mu Pengzheng had indeed only given their leader 500,000, but he had given them far more than that. Moreover, Mu Pengzheng had leverage over them, so they had to kill Mu Xiaoyu today!

Li Chenxu naturally wouldn't believe Qiangzi and his group's nonsense, but since Mu Xiaoyu was still in their hands, he couldn't act rashly.

So when he heard Qiangzi's words, Li Chenxu only remained silent for two seconds before immediately saying, "Okay, I promise you."

Seemingly surprised that Li Chenxu would agree so readily, Qiangzi and the scarred man exchanged a glance, their wariness growing more pronounced.

However, at this point, they have no choice but to trust Li Chenxu; they can't possibly stand here and keep at odds with him forever.

Without hesitation, the two nodded and said, "Since Mr. Li has agreed, please have your men move aside. Otherwise, if the knife at Miss Mu's neck were to tremble, it would be bad if Miss Mu were to be injured."

Li Chenxu didn't speak, but just stared intently at Qiangzi, then raised his hand and waved, signaling the people around him to make way for Qiangzi and his group.

Seeing this, Qiangzi and the others no longer hesitated and quickly helped Mu Xiaoyu away.

Just as the two reached the door, Li Chenxu suddenly raised his foot and kicked the scarred man hard.

The scarred man and Qiangzi were standing close together. Caught off guard, the scarred man was kicked by Li Chenxu and fell directly onto Qiangzi.

No one present expected Li Chenxu to make such a move, and no one was on guard. Mu Xiaoyu was constantly on edge, and when she felt Qiangzi's grip on her loosen slightly, she immediately tried to run back.

Perhaps realizing they were at their wits' end, Qiangzi suddenly lunged at Mu Xiaoyu with a fierce thrust.

"Little Feather!"

This scene made Li Chenxu's pupils shrink sharply. He exclaimed in surprise and immediately pulled Mu Xiaoyu into his arms to protect her.
