Chapter 90: The long journey to Ningzhuo 6 (1/2)

Days later at Su Liya's room at the Inn at Yul village

The Intruder fought out of Lu Yaozhu's hold and tried to pull himself out of the stronghold.

He tried to hit Lu Yaozhu with his elbow but missed a few times.

Seeing the two men roll around on the ground, Su Liya dropped the stool and rushed to find something heavy to hit the intruder or a weapon. She looked around the room until her eyes fell on a wooden umbrella leaning by the wall and a decorative vase.

Both were effective weapons that could make a lot of damage to the intruders head. She ran across the room and picked up the wooden umbrella. Lu Yaozhu had the intruder tackled on the ground, he held the intruder close to him by passing his hands by the intruder's armpit.

While his other hand was wrapped around the intruder's neck, Lu Yaozhu had him clapped or so he thought. He had the intruder facing the bed and struggling to get out of his tight hole. Su Liya saw the intruder's hands run down his clothes before stopping at his high.

She saw his hands dip into his clothes and pull something out, it was dark down and she couldn't make out what that was until there was a slight reflection from the intruders free had by his tight, as the knife in his hands was caught by the light from the lamp by the wall.

”He has a knife” Su Liya reclaimed and rushed over to knock the knife out of his hands. She hit his hands with the wooden umbrella, she knew it must have hurt because she hear his painfully hiss when the umbrella made contact with the intruder's hands but she didn't care.

There were times and places for human sympathy, this wasn't a time for that. This man was sent over to kill her, he doesn't deserve her sympathy. With her new resolve, she walked closer and kicked him on the tummy. He helped in pain and momentarily lost hold of the knife.

Su Liya kicked the knife under the bed, far far away from his reach. She checked to ensure that it was under the bed before walking back to finish him off with her umbrella. As she got closer, she felt the intruders hands wrap around her ankle and pull her forward.

She lost her footing and fell back, ”ahh!” Lu Yaozhu looked up when he heard her cry. He watched her fall backwards, towards the sharp end of the bed. Lu Yaozhu pulled away from the intruder and rushed forward to catch her before her head made contact with the sharp end. Which could have disastrous consequences.

Su Liya let go of the umbrella as she fell back, she saw a slight movement with the side of her eyes. Followed by a hand grab her arm and she was pulled into his warm embrace. During all that struggle, the intruder dragged himself up and jumped out of the window.

Lu Yaozhu hugged her closer until her heavy breathing subsidised. When her heartbeat returned to normal after the scare she had, ”thanks for watching me”. Her voice was muffled thanks to her present position.

Lu Yaozhu replied, ”It was nothing, how are you feeling”.

”Good, the intruder?”
