Chapter 97 - 97 Sudden Change, What an Unprepared Battle!
Before Wang Xiao’s brain could react, his body instinctively moved. He grabbed the other party with his left hand and pulled him into his arms. At the same time, he clenched his right fist and punched the other party’s nose bridge!
This punch was extremely fast and without any warning. However, to Wang Xiao’s surprise, the other party’s reaction was not slow either. He raised his hand at lightning speed and steadily caught this powerful punch.
“Damn it!”
Wang Xiao cursed silently and was about to change his move when the “Crimson Star person” in front of him suddenly changed his appearance. “Wang Xiao! It’s me!”
“Adjutant Qi?!”
Wang Xiao recognized the person in front of him and then his expression became puzzled. “What’s going on? Why are you here? No! Why is Andu here?!”
“The situation is complicated. I don’t have time to explain it to you!”
Qi Lianjun replied in a low voice. As he spoke, he returned to his Crimson Star appearance. “In short, his target is you. You have to leave this place immediately!”
With that said, Qi Lianjun wanted to leave. Wang Xiao grabbed the other party and said coldly with a serious expression, “You’re not allowed to leave! You have to make it clear! Didn’t you only want to get information? Why did you really let him out?”
“I told you! The situation is complicated. I don’t have time to explain!”
Qi Lianjun suddenly waved his hand and realized that Wang Xiao was grabbing him even tighter than he had imagined. He pondered for a moment and said helplessly, “The commander will explain to you, but you have to leave immediately!”
Wang Xiao shook his head firmly. “No! My friend is still inside!”
“I’ll protect them!”
Qi Lianjun’s voice was very soft, but his tone was abnormally firm. “They’ll be fine, but you have to leave now!”
As he spoke, Qi Lianjun suddenly grabbed Wang Xiao’s wrist. It was unknown what technique he used, but Wang Xiao suddenly felt his arm go numb, and his tightly clenched fingers subconsciously loosened.
By the time Wang Xiao reacted and wanted to ask again, Qi Lianjun had already rushed into the dust in the restaurant. He could see a red light flickering inside, but he did not know what was going on.
At the thought that his friend was still inside, Wang Xiao planned to rush in.
However, on second thought, Qi Lianjun said that Andu’s target was him. If he really rushed in, the situation inside might escalate again.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Xiao finally turned around and ran out. He didn’t know how Andu located him, but it was obvious that it would be safer without him.
Soon, Wang Xiao arrived at the courtyard outside. The originally quiet and elegant arrangement had already become a mess. The green grass-like courtyard had been blasted into pieces. It was obvious that it was the result of the [Annihilation Light].
“What the hell is Commander Chen doing?”
Wang Xiao cursed silently and was about to find a way to leave when he accidentally saw a person squatting on the ground and trembling under the shade of a tree not far away, as if he was frightened by this sudden change.
Wang Xiao subconsciously wanted to tell that person to leave quickly, but when he thought of how Andu was still nearby, he could only quickly run over. “It’s very dangerous here. Quick… why is it you?”
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiao was suddenly stunned. The person squatting under the tree and trembling was none other than Tian Qiang, who had said that he wanted to leave!
At this moment, Tian Qiang looked very miserable. It was unknown where he was injured. The white shirt of his gown was covered in blood. His face was pale, and his pupils were dilated. He muttered to himself in a muffled voice, as if he had already gone crazy from fear.
Wang Xiao could not help but frown when he saw this. Although he did not like Tian Qiang’s character, since he was called a “genius”, he definitely had some courage. What could have frightened him to this extent?
“Wang Xiao! Come out!”
Andu’s roar came from the building. Wang Xiao did not have time to think and hurriedly pulled Tian Qiang out.
Although Tian Qiang might encounter danger if he followed him, the Fang family had already become a battlefield. If he left Tian Qiang here, Tian Qiang would definitely die.
Pulling Tian Qiang out of the door, Wang Xiao was thinking about which way to run when he suddenly heard someone shout in a low voice not far away, “Wang Xiao! Over here! Come over quickly!”
Wang Xiao looked in the direction of the voice and immediately saw Tang Hengshan waving at him from the alley not far away. He hurriedly ran over with Tian Qiang and realized that the others at the banquet were also here.
Everyone was covered in dust after this sudden incident. Fortunately, no one seemed to be injured.
“Eh? Isn’t this Tian Qiang?”
When Tang Hengshan saw the person Wang Xiao had brought, he could not help but reveal a puzzled expression. “Didn’t he leave? Why is he back?”
“I don’t know either, but he seems to have been agitated by something. Take care of him for a while.”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he handed Tian Qiang to Tang Hengshan and asked Zhou Xiruo, “What happened just now?”
Zhou Xiruo was about to speak when Fang Tianyu, who was at the side, explained first, “It’s like this. Just now, we were eating when someone suddenly warned the Fang family that someone was going to attack the Fang family and asked us to leave immediately.”
“Then I gave you a warning.”
Zhou Xiruo continued, “At that time, you were in the territory. I wanted to wait for you to come out before leaving together, but I was pulled away by them.”
Hearing this, Fang Tianyu immediately looked ashamed. She lowered her head and whispered, “I’m sorry, Wang Xiao. At that time, we didn’t know what was going on, so we didn’t dare to waste time…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Bufan said seriously, “Wang Xiao, I was the one who told them not to wait for you. If you want to blame someone, blame me!”
The others did not speak, but their expressions were also a little ugly. After all, Wang Xiao had saved them not long ago. Now that they were in danger, they turned around and abandoned Wang Xiao…
“Who said I blame you?”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly. Then, he put away his smile and said seriously, “It’s normal to leave immediately after receiving the warning. If I were you, I would have definitely done the same.”
Hearing Wang Xiao say this, everyone’s expressions improved a little, but they still could not hide their guilt.
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Wang Xiao immediately felt a warmth in his heart. The slight feeling of being abandoned from before also disappeared.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Xiao said seriously, “The current situation is very complicated. Moreover, I don’t know much. Let me explain briefly.”
“Andu escaped from prison.”
“I’m his target.”
“I have to leave now.”
After saying three sentences, everyone’s expressions changed three times.
It was only when Wang Xiao was about to leave that Zhou Xiruo reacted. She grabbed Wang Xiao and asked in disbelief, “You said that Andu escaped from prison? That Crimson Star royal family member? He’s not dead yet?”
“He’s from the royal family. How can he die so easily?”
...
Wang Xiao smiled and gently pulled Zhou Xiruo’s hand away. “There are too many civilians nearby. Moreover, we can’t summon soldiers. Once the battle starts, it will be very disadvantageous for us, so I want to lure him out of the city.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hengshan stood up. “How can I let you do such a dangerous thing yourself? I’ll go with you!”
“I’ll go too!”
“And me!”
Han Bufan and Yang Fan immediately spoke. Lin Dong looked at them with a conflicted expression and finally took a small step forward. “Count me in.”
