Hope of Escaping Death

Seeing this, I hurriedly said, "At a time like this, wasting every second means wasting my chance to survive."

"Li Yang is the one who turned you into this. I'll help you capture Li Yang and bring him here. Then you can kill him and take your revenge."

"Otherwise, even if you kill more people, Li Yang will still go around deceiving women. You still won't be able to do anything to him."

Han Qianqian froze, but only for a moment. She grabbed her dagger and stabbed at me again.

I immediately shouted, "I'm not going to deceive you. There's no way I can escape right now. Even if I trick you this time, you'll still kill me next time. So I'll definitely do what I promised you."

Han Qianqian remained unmoved. She raised her dagger and continued hunting me down. Helpless, I could only drag my body along and keep running.

Han Qianqian stayed right on my heels, but to my surprise, her dagger struck me by the narrowest of margins every time, only for me to deftly dodge it. After evading her attacks again and again, I gradually understood. Han Qianqian had never intended to kill me.

It seemed she had accepted what I said. Without time to think, I frantically ran toward the door. Behind me, Han Qianqian kept swinging her dagger. Every attack was terrifyingly close, yet none of them injured me.

I was overjoyed. At that moment, my despair vanished completely. Han Qianqian was deliberately letting me go! Although she was still ferocious, she did not want to kill me. Thinking this, I charged toward the doorway.

Han Qianqian's dagger came down toward my back. I ran for my life, and when the dagger was only a centimeter away from me, I finally made it outside. At that moment, I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredibly excited.

Han Qianqian withdrew her dagger and stood there looking at me. Her expression was blank, her eyes numb.

I looked at her and hurriedly said, "Don't worry. I'll definitely do what I promised you. Thank you so much. I'll always remember this great favor."

Han Qianqian gave me an indifferent glance, then turned and left. I turned around and ran off in a sorry state.

It wasn't that I was a coward. Faced with someone as vicious as Han Qianqian, an ordinary person had no power to resist at all. I had once seen someone stronger than me get dismembered by Han Qianqian in just a few seconds.

In front of Han Qianqian, ordinary people had only one chance: to run.

At first, I had also thought about uniting everyone's strength to deal with Han Qianqian, and had even tried every possible way to kill her. But the grim reality had told me that Han Qianqian was so powerful that she was invincible.

Even her own mother had been killed by her for trying to persuade her. She was practically a demon.

Therefore, compromising and finding a way to make her spare me was the only path to survival.

And right now, her only obsession was killing Li Yang. So I had to kill Li Yang at all costs, and make her stop hunting me.

I walked around the Abandoned School, searching for Wu Yong's whereabouts, feeling extremely anxious.

I had made it out. Could Wu Yong have died inside?

But I didn't dare go back, afraid Han Qianqian might change her mind. So I waited restlessly by the back door.

Just then, Wu Yong ran out in a sorry state. Behind him was a middle-aged man—Teacher Ma.

Seeing the two of them run out, I finally relaxed.

Wu Yong sat down at my feet, panting heavily. Teacher Ma was also exhausted, yet he said smugly, "That square-pattern movement of mine let me dodge that female ghost perfectly, didn't it? Don't forget to give me my cut."

"I know. I won't forget," Wu Yong said helplessly.

"What exactly happened? Why are you with him?" I asked, looking at him.

"After you lured Han Qianqian away, I ran out. Then I ran into Teacher Ma. We left together," Wu Yong said.

I nodded in realization, then looked at Teacher Ma. "Han Qianqian was chasing me just now, which was how you two escaped. Yet you still want my brother's money? Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Heh heh, I was just joking. How could I really ask for it?" Teacher Ma gave an awkward laugh and looked at me.

"Good that you understand." I looked at Wu Yong on the ground and smiled faintly. "There's something I need to discuss with you."

"I don't think that's necessary, right?" Wu Yong said with an awkward laugh.

"No. There are some things I have to talk to you about." I looked at him with a smile.

Teacher Ma tactfully turned and left. I took Wu Yong to a secluded corner and gave him a thorough beating.

Ten minutes later, Wu Yong sat on the ground with a swollen, bruised face, looking astonished. "So Li Yuming is just like us?"

"Yeah. I was unlucky enough to get dragged in for no reason." I shrugged, my face full of helplessness. "But I didn't want anyone else to end up like me. And you still refused to listen."

"I'm sorry." Wu Yong lowered his head, his face filled with guilt.

"I know what you're thinking. You're a very strong person, and you don't want to live off other people's charity—even mine," I said.

"That's right. I'll make a living with my own two hands," Wu Yong said seriously.

But then I beat him again. As I hit him, I cursed, "Make a living with your own hands? Without me, you'd already be dead this time."

"Heh heh, of course I know that," Wu Yong said with an awkward laugh.

"Forget it. Stay by my side from now on. I'll definitely save you." I looked at him.

"Mm." At this, Wu Yong grinned and waved his phone. "I have money now too. I'll treat you to a meal."

"Okay," I said with a smile.

The two of us naturally went to a large restaurant and gorged ourselves before walking out with our arms around each other's shoulders.

"This is the life of the rich. I finally have money," Wu Yong said.

"What's that little bit of money compared to? Every time you escape, you'll get more money," I said disdainfully.

"Then wouldn't that mean that if we could escape more than a hundred times, we'd become filthy rich?" Wu Yong asked in surprise.
