C224 (1/2)

Xie Jingxi followed Zou Ling, but before they could leave the courtyard, they were blocked by a somewhat aged woman.

Xie Jingxi then gradually regained her senses, and thought about how she had bumped into her in the cloth farm, she vaguely guessed where she was. The way they dressed up was definitely not that of an ordinary woman, as if she had been brought into a brothel.

Zou Ling stood in front of her and coldly said, ”What, you want to block my way too?”

The woman laughed softly. With a peculiar tone, she said, ”Of course you wouldn't dare to go on her own path, but her path can't be so smooth. If I let her go just like that, there's no way the higher-ups can explain themselves.”

”You don't need to worry about what I'm saying. I'll deal with it. Leaving her be is just a hidden danger. Do you think the ghosts you caught don't know about it? If they came looking for you, it wouldn't be just a word or two.”

Hehe, don't blame me for taking advantage of my old age. When have you ever seen someone get rid of a hidden danger?

Zou Ling's voice was already filled with killing intent, ”Don't say that I didn't remind you, if you let her go, we can still live a few more years. If you have that kind of thought, don't regret it when you accompany her to the grave.

The woman was unwilling, ”It's fine to let it out, but we have to dig our eyeballs out. Our faces are all exposed now, aren't you afraid of leaving behind troubles?”

Xie Jingxi wanted to be a blind deaf person or something like that, if she listened to any more secrets, she would probably be silenced. This woman was deliberately stalling for time, she did not know why, but she could feel the killing intent from Zou Ling's body.

”Fire! ”It's on fire …”

It sounded as if the fire was not weak, and it did not take long for him to get to where he was to see the smoke and dust in the sky. The woman blocking his path had a ferocious and fearful expression on her face as she gave Zou Ling a fierce look, as if she was hesitating on whether or not she should go over to take a look.

Zou Ling said: You're still wasting time, aren't you afraid that your old nest will burn to ashes? Didn't I say it earlier, it's useless to stop me, you guys captured her, that's the real disaster. Since I'm still in the mood to help you guys, you should know what to do.

The lady gritted her teeth and left. Zou Ling looked around, then said to Xie Jingxi: ”Mrs. Gu, I probably can't send you out, once you leave this courtyard, it will be their territory. To the south, there's a small door, you have to walk quickly, and when you are stopped by others, you have to run straight out, and then keep running towards the east, probably towards the direction of the Feng's.

Zou Ling gave her a key, ”This is the key to the back door. Remember, don't ask about this place after leaving, just pretend you didn't come here.”

Xie Jingxi tightly gripped the key, she didn't know what to feel. The most important thing was, she might not be able to escape, because her legs were still weak.

Zou Ling had just brought her out of the courtyard and they could already see a few people surrounding them from afar. The two courtyards were in the middle courtyard, and the one in front of them was the real backyard of the brothel, with rosy pink everywhere, the intensity of the fire in front was not small, as it was about to spread all the way here. There were occasionally some girls fleeing in the courtyard, and all in a chaotic manner.

”Don't hesitate, hurry up and run in the chaos.” Zou Ling was the first to run towards those people. Taking advantage of the little amount of time she had, Xie Jingxi clenched her teeth and ran to the back door.

That small door didn't seem far. It ran as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers, and there were even girls blocking the way. They held all kinds of gold and silver in their arms, running as they picked them up …

In the chaos, Xie Jingxi cautiously looked around to see if there was anyone else looking at the small door. Suddenly, she noticed a glance, which quickly avoided her gaze when she looked at the door, and at the moment of life and death, she didn't have the time to look any further, but in a flash, the figure that she felt looked familiar.

Xie Jingxi's heart was thumping hard, her hands were shaking from trying to unlock the door, and it took her a few more times to finally place the key in the lock, but she had the feeling that if she was delayed any further, someone would stab her in the back, and after she ran out the door, how was she supposed to close the door from the outside? Just looking at the door, it was obvious that she could only see a door that could not be opened, and if anyone else saw her running out, with her current two legs, she would definitely be caught up to them.

However, she couldn't care less. She opened the door and ran out, trying her best to close it, then ran to the street without looking back, thinking to herself that she could run as far as she could, if she couldn't get out, then it would all be up to her. However, just as she was about ten steps away, she suddenly heard the sound of a door closing behind her.

Someone had actually closed the door for her!

Xie Jingxi's mind was in a mess, and many thoughts flashed past her mind. The one who closed the door was definitely not Zou Ling, so who could it be? Was it that girl from before? That girl, she was …
