Chapter 856: Unexpected Development
Editor: Henyee Translations
Facing Sofia, who had suddenly appeared here and had been lying low for an unknown period of time, Huo Ya and Huo Xiuyuan immediately chose to submit to the threat of force.
After all, they didnât dare to bet if the other partyâs pistol had real bullets.
Although he couldnât figure out what Sofia was up to, he still listened to her instructions first and tied Huo Ya beside him to a chair he had found anywhere. As for the ropes, he had casually pulled them over. The ship didnât lack thick ropes at all. With a slight knot, he could tie the other party to the chair and make her unable to break free.
âVery well done.â
Sofia stood at the side with her pistol and watched Huo Xiuyuan complete the entire kidnapping process. Then, she smiled in satisfaction. This could be considered a praise for him.
Huo Xiuyuan didnât smile because of the other partyâs praise. Instead, he slowly walked up to Sofia with sweat on his head and maintained a safe distance. His tone was restrained and polite, and he spoke with a hint of fear of death.
âWhat do you need me to do next?â
Sofia looked at Huo Xiuyuan in front of her and then at the time. âFollow me.â
At this moment, Jiang Weiyang should be with Murong Qiao.
Sofiaâs prediction was godlike, and her timing was very precise.
It was better to say that Jiang Weiyang was too stupid. She boldly told Sofia all her plans before the matter. Because she felt that Sofia was her best friend, she told her the truth about her next move and didnât hide anything. That was why she gave Sofia the chance to sneak onto the ship.
In fact, Murong Qiao had already been in the room for an unknown period of time. Her perception of time was very blurry, and after the pain of hunger and physical exhaustion, she was even dizzy.
She was no longer completely awake. Her eyes were tightly closed, and the chair had already leaned against the corner of the entire room. Only then could she find a trace of support on the bumpy sea and not feel so uncomfortable.
However, the sound of the door opening and the strong light that invaded through the crack interrupted Murong Qiaoâs floating consciousness in the waves, forcing her to sense the changes in the outside world.
After spending too much time in the darkness, the strong light was like a cold and sharp knife that cut into her eyes, causing Murong Qiao to feel an uncomfortable pain.
She frowned and couldnât open her eyes immediately. After adapting to the darkness, she still needed some time to deal with the strong light. However, her ears received the changes in the outside environment first and she heard the sound of high heels gradually approaching her.
âYouâre awake?â Jiang Weiyang walked up to Murong Qiao and looked at her pale and haggard face.
However, she didnât receive a response to her question immediately. Jiang Weiyang looked at Murong Qiao in dissatisfaction. Then, she reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up. Only then did she barely meet the other partyâs open eyes.
At this moment, Murong Qiao also saw clearly that the person standing in front of her was Jiang Weiyang.
An unexpected feeling appeared in her heart, but when she saw Jiang Weiyang, there were even some double images in front of her, making her unable to focus. Even her voice was a little hoarse when she opened her mouth to speak.
âYouâre really bold, Jiang Weiyang,â Murong Qiao said with a forced smile.
She only felt that the other party was extremely bold. She actually dared to kidnap her and did such an impulsive thing without caring about the consequences. Could it be that she no longer cared about the future of the Jiang Family?
Jiang Weiyang sneered when she heard her words. âYou still have the strength to speak. Looks like Iâm still too good to you.â
She should have starved her for an entire day before meeting her. This way, she wouldnât even have the strength to tease her or talk back.
But this was good too. At least she had the strength to talk. This saved Murong Qiao from not cooperating with her when Huo Yichen came later.
At the thought of this, a satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Weiyangâs face. She reached out and patted Murong Qiaoâs face like a pitiful dog.
âDonât worry about you. You wonât be locked up here for long.â
The sound of the waves was especially obvious after the door opened. At this moment, it also entered Murong Qiaoâs ears.
âAfter all, your fiancĂ© will be coming here soon to save the damsel in distress.â
As Jiang Weiyang spoke, her tone was playful. Then, her gaze landed on Murong Qiao.
The dress she had worn to meet Huo Ya was no longer white. Instead, it was stained with some dirt. At this moment, it was stuck tightly to her body as she sweated and in the humid environment. The excessive paleness of Murong Qiaoâs face added a hint of haggardness to her.
Even her lips were no longer red. The dry cracks caused by the lack of water made Murong Qiao lose her usual bright and radiant charm.
âYouâre only so-so.â Jiang Weiyang seemed to have obtained a strange satisfaction from the other partyâs overly haggard appearance and couldnât help but chuckle.
Perhaps because she felt that Murong Qiao, who was usually a head taller than her, could actually fall into such a sorry state now, a certain imbalance in Jiang Weiyangâs heart was filled up at this moment.
âYouâre lying to yourself.â Murong Qiao was not at a disadvantage. She only said coldly. Looking at Jiang Weiyangâs current appearance, she felt that it was a little ridiculous.
The smile on Jiang Weiyangâs face froze for a moment because of the other partyâs words before returning to normal.
She stood in front of Murong Qiao and looked down at her. âItâs too unconvincing for you to say this now.â
âWhy donât you look forward to seeing Huo Yichenâs expression when he sees you later?â
As Jiang Weiyang spoke proudly, she didnât forget to observe the expression on Murong Qiaoâs face. She was looking forward to the other party revealing fear because of what she had said, and her eyes were filled with color.
However, Murong Qiao only looked at her expressionlessly. It was unknown what she was thinking. This indifferent expression and lack of feedback would only anger Jiang Weiyang more.
Seeing Jiang Weiyang in front of her and saying something from time to time, Murong Qiao looked at her coldly on the surface, but in fact, she tried to move her wrist, wanting to escape.
Unfortunately, the rope on her body was too tight, and it was connected to the chair. It couldnât be moved with a gentle turn of her wrist. Moreover, the person who tied her up clearly realized the possibility of her breaking free. Therefore, to be safe, the rope was tied with an additional knot. The final weakness was the wood behind her leg. She couldnât easily untie it with her hands or feet, or even with the help of other things.
In other words, she could only watch as Jiang Weiyang flaunted her strength in front of her and couldnât escape for the time being.
However, Jiang Weiyang was halfway through her sentence when she was suddenly stopped by a muffled sound.
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Weiyang stared at Murong Qiao in front of her. Thinking of how she and Huo Yichen would sink into the sea later, she couldnât help but laugh. Therefore, she did not notice the threat behind her and the footsteps approaching silently.
Murong Qiao sat on the chair and didnât even say a word as she watched Huo Xiuyuan suddenly appear and push Jiang Weiyang to the ground.
