Chapter 779: Had to be Beaten Up
Shen Wei looked up, her bright eyes teary as it reflected the blue skies.
Chu Lui held Xia Ruoxin’s hand tightly, brought her into the helicopter, and covered her with a blanket. He then passed one to Shen Wei.
“Thank you.” Shen Wei took the blanket and turned. She was exhausted from the six months of torture.
He then hopped off of the helicopter as his lackey looked on enviously. When Chu Lui walked over, he had a plastered smile that looked awful.
“Why, you don’t want to go back?”
Chu Lui said to him.
The lackey’s expression suddenly changed as he leaped up in joy. He then stumbled towards the helicopter, without a care for his image and found himself a corner to sit in.
At this point, everyone stared enviously at the helicopter. With that, they could leave here and get out.
A glimmer of hope rose on the face of the woman with a high nose. She suddenly took a step forward.
“Take me with you; please take me with you...” She begged with her raspy voice that had not been heard in a while.
Shen Wei opened her eyes.
“She’s begging you.”
Xia Ruoxin lowered her head and played with her swollen fingers. She did not learn much from here, but minding her own business was one of them.
“You’re dreaming, right?”
Outside, Chu Lui rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Puff. Words were flowing out of her endlessly, and the young man from the helicopter translated everything for Chu Lui seamlessly.
“She’s asking you to let her off the hook since she didn’t actually do anything to you. Besides, she added blankets for you. Even though she got whipped, you deserved it since you didn’t appreciate her beauty.”
Chu Lui rolled his sleeves up to reveal his scar. The streaks looked rather scary.
He said that he did not like to hit women, but this one was an exception. Not just because she tried to sleep with him but also because she raised a hand against his Ruoxin, the woman that he dared not lay a single finger on.
He flung a fist over, and the woman fell to the ground as she cried out.
The interpreter got to work again.
“She’s begging you for mercy.”
Chu Lui kicked, landing his feet on the woman’s face.
He broke her nose. However, she should have been glad that it was Chu Lui she ran into, and not Brother San. Else, it would be more than a broken nose.
Chu Lui raised his bare feet and cleaned it on the floor. He then boarded the helicopter. The others returned to their senses and ran forward, trying to claw at the helicopter—the one thing that could get them out of here.
However, the men picked up heavy weapons and pointed those at them.
With the display of weapons, all the others were terrified. In this chaotic region, deaths were a common sight.
Moreover, everyone was afraid of dying.
As the helicopter took off, Xia Ruoxin sat up and placed her face on the glass. As she watched the river disappear from her sight, she understood why no one wanted or managed to escape. They always got caught because this place was essentially a lone island surrounded by the sea.
“Do you have food?” Chu Lui asked Gu Qi.
Gu Qi only managed to produce a bar of chocolate after checking through all his possessions. “We didn’t manage to bring much with us since we left in a hurry. Don’t worry, Mr. Chu. Given our current speed, we should arrive in the nearest country. You can rest for a few days and then return home.”
Chu Lui took the chocolate and passed it to Xia Ruoxin.
He placed his large hand on the woman’s haggard face. “Don’t worry, we’ll be there soon. Eat this first for some energy.”
Without thinking, Xia Ruoxin pressed the chocolate back into the man’s hand.
“Don’t worry about me. I got there later than you did. I’m not hungry.” Chu Lui moved over to let her rest her head on his lap.
Xia Ruoxin swallowed her saliva as she held the chocolate. She had not had something like this in a really long time. She had forgotten what it tasted like. She only had vague impressions of a sweet, creamy taste. She broke the chocolate into two and stuffed one into Shen Wei’s hand. She then unwrapped the other half and put it in her mouth. Shen Wei clenched her hands, but she did not eat it.
At this point, Gu Qi’s phone rang; and he picked it up.
“En, yes, Mr. Mo. We’ve picked them up. They’re doing fine. Okay, please hold on.”
Gu Qi handed the satellite phone to Chu Lui.
“Mr. Chu, Mr. Mo would like to speak with you.”
“Thank you.” Chu Lui took the phone with one hand as he held Xia Ruoxin’s hand tightly with the other. He dared not to use too much force, out of fear of hurting her.
“It’s me. We’re all fine.” He looked down and stared at Xia Ruoxin’s curled lashes. “It’s good that we could find them. I’m willing to pay any price.
“Also, thank you, Mo Ming.”
When those two words were uttered, no one saw Shen Wei’s body shudder. She curled up herself as the piece of chocolate melted in her hands. A hand of stickiness... of sweet and of bitter.
As the helicopter traveled, Xia Ruoxin slept peacefully for the first time in a long while. She slept soundly as she held the man’s hand.
She did not even wake up when the helicopter had landed.
“I’ve already contacted the doctors here,” Gu Qi said to Chu Lui. “Mr. Mo will come over personally later.”
