Chapter 621: Lying In Wait

The patrolling guards soon noticed the movement in the cell. After they went in to check, they found that almost all the prisoners in the cells had been released.

The two guards were very shocked. “Quick! Go and inform the deputy manager that the prisoners have escaped.”

There were many escaped prisoners, but there were only two guards. The two were not a match for the prisoners at all. Thus, they did not fight head-on with them and turned around to flee.

“Take the chance now. Get out quickly!” Xie Rui barked sternly and charged out with his men.

Meng Jiang was abruptly woken up from his sleep by the commotion. The first thing he saw was w.a.n.g Furong standing beside Xie Rui. His eyes widened in shock. He thought that he was mistaken.

“Furong? Furong!” Meng Jiang stood up anxiously. He wanted to get out, but his cell door was still locked.

w.a.n.g Furong heard the noise and turned to look at Meng Jiang. Her look was full of disdain and contempt, completely different from the usual tenderness and sweetness she showed in the past.

Meng Jiang was dumbfounded. “Furong, what’s wrong? Are you being held hostage by them, Furong…”

w.a.n.g Furong did not care about Meng Jiang at all. After seeing Xie Rui and his men leave, she immediately followed.

“Furong! w.a.n.g Furong!” Meng Jiang banged desperately on the cell door, but his shouts still could not make the departing person return.

“Fire! The prison is on fire! Put out the fire!

Xie Rui and his men dashed all the way to the outside of the prison. It was somewhat strange that they did not meet anyone from the Peace-keeping

Bureau on the way out.

“Your Highness, come with me! This way!”

After they were out, w.a.n.g Furong ran to the front to lead the way.

Xie Rui nodded and followed closely behind her as they quickly ran towards the back of the residential area.

Sky Alpha City was very big, but because there were not many people, many places in the city were still vacant. w.a.n.g Furong had accidentally discovered an exit in the city when she was wandering around aimlessly after entering the city.

Sky Alpha City was built against the mountains. One of the city walls might have been eroded by the natural elements and had already been damaged, but no one had discovered it yet.

The hole in this damaged area was just enough for one person to pa.s.s through safely.

She didn’t tell anyone after discovering this hole. She only secretly noted it down, thinking that she might be able to use it one day. She didn’t expect it to really come in handy now.

There were no pedestrians on the streets at night. w.a.n.g Furong led Xie Rui and his men through numerous hidden paths with familiarity. After running for a long time, they finally arrived at the foot of a wall.

The guards on this side of the city wall were not as strict as those at the entrance and exit. However, there would still be people patrolling the surrounding area every night. They would only come once a night, and their time was after midnight. Now that it was already past midnight, the guards patrolling here had long left. When w.a.n.g Furong’s group arrived here, it was as if the whole place was deserted.

“It’s just ahead, Your Highness. The exit is just ahead.”

w.a.n.g Furong brought Xie Rui to the hole with a face full of joy. She dug out the soil used to hide the hole at the bottom of the wall with all her might. Finally, a small hole that could allow one person to pa.s.s through was revealed.

w.a.n.g Furong looked back at Xie Rui as if she was asking for credit. The moonlight lit up her eager face. Whether it was because the moonlight was too dim or the blood color on her face was too faint, her face looked like a person who was about to die.

Xie Rui gave an eye signal to the guy beside him, and the other party understood at once. He went forward to squeeze out of the hole.

Soon, the guard’s voice came from the other side of the hole. “Your Highness, you can come out! You can come out!”

A faint smile finally appeared on Xie Rui’s face. He didn’t expect that his impromptu idea back then was able to save his life.

He didn’t say anything and crawled through the hole right away.

Seeing this, w.a.n.g Furong wanted to follow him immediately, but Xie Rui s guards pushed her to the end of the line on the grounds that they needed to go through to protect Xie Rui as soon as possible. Only after the last guard went through did w.a.n.g Furong crawl through the hole.

w.a.n.g Furong could not suppress the smile on her face as if glory and wealth were right in front of her!

“Your Highness, Your Highness, wait for me…

The instant w.a.n.g Furong crawled out of the hole, her face was illuminated by a sea of light. She raised her head in bewilderment, and her face turned ashen m an instant.

Meng Zi stepped forward and yanked her out of the hole in a fit of rage. “To think that our Meng family treated you so sincerely, yet you betrayed us!

w.a.n.g Furong’s face was pale, but her gaze quickly searched through the crowd, eager to catch sight of Xie Rui.

“Are you looking for him?”

That icy voice seemed to come from h.e.l.l.

w.a.n.g Furong’s eyes followed the sound of that voice. Then she saw the man she had been longing for being trampled under Su Ying’s foot with no chance to fight back at all.

Xie Rui’s mouth was bleeding, and his expression was even more unpleasant than w.a.n.g Furong’s. At this moment, he was extremely infuriated. When they left the prison, no one stopped them. He should have realized that something was wrong at that moment, but he was so focused on escaping that he didn’t notice this abnormality.

“City… City Lord, please spare me. It was… it was them. They threatened me… If I didn’t do as they said, they would kill me. Fortunately, you arrived in time and saved my life, City Lord…” w.a.n.g Furong desperately tried to find excuses for herself, but no one present believed her words at all.

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes darkened as she stared icily at her. “w.a.n.g Furong, I did give you a chance to live before. It’s a pity that you didn’t cherish it.” With that, she looked at Meng Zi. “I’ll leave her to you.

Meng Zi’s face was downright ominous. “Don’t worry, City Lord. I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”

Su Ying bent down and grabbed Xie Rui from the ground. She locked eyes with him. Xie Rui had long lost his usual arrogance. Now, Su Ying could kill him as easily as crushing an ant.

“Does your father love you?”

Xie Rui suppressed the trembling in his body. “I… I am the eldest son of my Emperor Father. I’m the one who is most likely to inherit the throne of the Jin State. If you… if you kill me…”

“Shh. Just answer my question simply and clearly.”

Xie Rui took a deep breath. “Love! Very much! He loves me very much!”

“Good. I happen to be lacking some stuff here. When you go back, write a nice letter to your father and ask him to send those things here, understand?”

How could Xie Rui dare to object?

Su Ying motioned for her men to take Xie Rui away while the people Xie Rui brought with him were executed on the spot. The corpses were then fed to her precious pets.

After taking down Xie Rui, Su Ying didn’t immediately make him send a message to the Jin State because she wanted to see the reaction of the Jin State first. To her surprise, the other party didn’t make any move at all.

There were two possibilities for this scenario.

Firstly, the monarch of Jin didn’t care about Xie Rui’s life or death at all. However, based on her understanding of Xie Rui’s background, Su Ying didn’t think so.

Secondly, he was the one who came here secretly without any regard for his safety. He was hoping to score a pleasant surprise. He probably wanted to usurp the iron ore mine and then ask the ruler of the Jin State for credit.

Su Ying felt that the second possibility was very likely.

In that case, she would be able to squeeze a lot of benefits out of him.

w.a.n.g Furong watched helplessly as Xie Rui was taken away and her heart sank to the bottom of the abyss. She couldn’t understand what had gone wrong, and why Su Ying had brought her men to guard this place!

Of course, she wouldn’t understand. When Su Ying first saw her, she was already suspicious of w.a.n.g Furong..
