Chapter 3552 - A New Addition (168)

Linxi hugged himself tightly but did not beg for mercy. Kneeling on the ground, he raised his head and looked at the soldiers with eyes filled with hatred! He knew that the car belonged to Chu He but he didn't tell on her.

That person lit a match and shook it, threatening, "I'll ask again, whose car is it!"

Everyone was so nervous that they could not utter a coherent sentence. However, many people started to look towards Chu He, as if they were signaling something to the soldiers!

At this critical juncture, they naturally wanted to protect their own lives!

The lives of others did not matter!

The soldiers looked at Chu He suspiciously.

Seeing this, Chu He could no longer remain silent. She suddenly said, "This is my car! It has nothing to do with this child."

Linxi looked at her in surprise, he seemed deeply moved.

"Hand over the car keys!"

Taking a deep breath, Chu He calmly took out a key from her pocket and threw it to them.

When the soldier saw this, he sneered and threw the lit match at Linxi. At this point, the boy was drenched in gasoline. If the matchstick landed beside him, it meant certain death! He closed his eyes in despair.

Chu He reacted quickly and lunged towards Linxi. At the same time, alerted by her sudden movement, the vigilant soldier raised his gun and pulled the trigger. The bullet tore through the air and brushed past her waist, and then hit a man behind Chu He, piercing through his thigh. The man cried out in pain, clutching his thigh and twitching.

…

The fire that was expected did not happen.

Linxi opened his eyes in disbelief, and saw Chu He lying on top of him. She had caught the matchstick tightly in her palm, it was broken into two pieces. The skin on her palm was scalded, and it was a ghastly red!

Chu He pulled him into her arms and said seriously, "I promised to protect you. I will keep my promise."

The boy's eyes flickered, and tears streamed down his face!

A few soldiers raised their guns and pointed them at Chu He. Chu He turned around and shielded Linxi behind her. She said unhurriedly, "There's cash in the car. And food… I hid them somewhere and I will exchange that for the child's life!"

"Take us to the stuff!"

"Let this child go and I'll tell you!"

The soldiers looked at each other before putting their guns away.

Chu He immediately said to Linxi, "Hurry up and find a place to hide!"

Linxi shook his head and said firmly, "I want to be with you!"

"Be good, I'm fine. Find a place to hide, okay? No matter what happens, don't come out!"

Linxi wavered. He gritted his teeth and stood up. After taking a few steps, he saw that the soldiers seemed to have tacitly agreed to let him go. He then ran to the warehouse and found a secret room to hide himself.

Chu He stood up, covering her wound before following the soldiers to the parking lot.

"Where are the money and items?!"

Chu He pretended to be in pain and said with difficulty, "It's in the armrest."

"Take it out!"

"…I'm injured…" Chu He said with difficulty, "I have no more strength…"

"Behave yourself!"

The two soldiers opened the door and entered the carriage to search.

Chu He narrowed her eyes and looked around. There were a total of four soldiers here. Two of them had entered the carriage to search. Their backs were facing her and they weren't able to see her every move.

This was a rare opportunity!
