Murong Qingtian felt dizzy and his neck was sore. A smell of humidity surrounded his nose. Opening his eyes in shock, he looked at his unfamiliar surroundings. Looking around, he found that it was an empty room with nothing visible to indicate where it was. There was no light. A thick curtain covered the whole window with a faint light coming through it.

Murong Qingtian quickly recalled his memories about what had happened in the morning. He could only remember that three cars had stopped him.

As smart as Murong Qingtian was, he could absolutely figure out what had happened to him, but he did not know who the chief plotter behind this was.

Murong Qingtian’s limbs were tied, so he could not move. In this situation, he’d better just rest. Murong Qingtian calmed down at this moment, not trying to struggle unnecessarily and waiting for an opportunity quietly.

He might as well close his eyes to rest, putting down all the worries temporarily.

After not too long, a sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. They seemed to stop by the door, followed by a conversation in a light voice.

A voice with a bit of majesty was then heard. The person tried to lower his voice deliberately but it still sounded familiar. “Where is he?”

Another respectful voice replied, “Still in there, but not awake.”

“Open the door.”

Then came the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole. The door lock was turned, while the door seemed to have been opened. A puff of a faint breeze poured in, bringing in some fresh air.

Murong Qingtian kept his eyes closed all the time and pretended not to be awake. He quietly listened to the movements and was curious about the familiar voice.

A person got close to Murong Qingtian, kicking at his arms gently. Finding that Murong Qingtian had no response, he turned to leave.

Murong Qingtian slowly opened his eyes after the door was closed again, searching his memory for the person related to this voice.

Before Murong Qingtian could find any clue, the sound of steps came near again. A few people seemed to come this time. It sounded a bit chaotic. They stopped and moved on from time to time, seemingly looking for something.

Finally, the sound of footstep came near the door. Murong Qingtian closed his eyes again. The door lock was turned again, but they did not open the door.

“Let me do it.” A light male voice was heard.

Then came the sound of turning the door handle. With a very slight cracking sound, the door was opened again.

“Here.” An extremely light female voice came out, which was also somewhat familiar to him.

This aroused Murong Qingtian’s curiosity even more. It seemed that the previous one who had come was not with these two. Were they coming to save him?

Murong Qingtian was pondering in his mind, while they stepped up to him. A finger stretched out under his nose, following a sigh of relief from that person! This confirmed to Murong Qingtian that the two must have been coming to save him.

He could not be completely sure, so he did not open his eyes, as he sat quietly waiting to see what the two would do.

Sure enough, they came over to untie him and quickly untied the rope on his body.

The man at the door urged them at a low voice, “Hurry up, the man will come back soon.”

“Okay, it’s all right!” Murong Qingtian finally figured out whose voice it was. He opened his eyes, finding that his daughter Murong Yunxi was in front of his eyes.

“Xiao Xi!” Murong Qingtian suddenly cried out in alarm.

Murong Yunxi hurriedly covered his mouth and gestured for him to be quiet.

Murong Yunxi hold Murong Qingtian and asked in a low voice, “Dad, do you feel good? Did you get hurt? Can you walk on your own?”

“Xiao Xi, quickly. It’s too late!’ The person at the door urged Murong Yunxi again.

Murong Qingtian nodded decisively, then followed Murong Yunxi to the door.

But right at the moment when the three of them walked out of the room, the door at the end of the corridor was opened. The guard shouted outside at once when seeing the three were standing in front of the room, “Come on, come on…”

Murong Yunxi tugged at Murong Qingtian and ran in the opposite direction, but the door in this direction also opened as they turned around. Three strong men came in.

Murong Yunxi turned to whisper to her side, “What should we do now, Lu Yang?”

Lu Yang was still calm, saying in no hurry, “It seems that we can only break through directly. Let me clear a path for you then you should rush out with your father.”

Looking at the three approaching people, Murong Yunxi answered lightly, “Well, be careful.”

Then, following Lu Yang, she moved forward at the three guards with Murong Qingtian.

Lu Yang took action before the three finally got close, but more and more enemies joined the fight. Murong Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew that her martial arts were still at a low level, but the Blind Sword Tactics could be useful in this situation. She did not feel fear at this moment and took the initiative to fight.

Guards from the doors on both sides surged more and more, which made the narrow but long corridor somewhat crowded. They even could not spare all of their efforts.

Murong Qingtian was good at martial arts when he was young. Now, at his advanced age, he was not that flexible and was slow to react, but also could resist for a moment.

The three were fighting against a group of guards who were not easy to cope with. It might be difficult to defeat Lu Yang, but it was easy to handle Murong Yunxi and Murong Qingtian. Soon after, the group of guards targeted the two weaker ones.

Murong Yunxi began to feel that it was difficult to resist, after being slammed on her left shoulder accidentally. The crisp sound coming from her bone made Murong Yunxi think that her arm was about to break. She held her left arm and avoided the attacks, while her initial active attack turned into passive defense.

Murong Qingtian was not in a better situation than Murong Yunxi, as he was being kicked in the belly, punched on his chest, and heavily thumped on this back. For an old man, those attacks could nearly break his bones.

When seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Yang quickly blocked the guards in front of him, leaving a narrow path behind him for Murong Yunxi. He cried out at her at a low voice, “Just get out with your father and I will come out soon!”

Murong Yunxi turned around, finding that Lu Yang left her a way out behind him. Having no time to think too much, she took Murong Qingtian to run toward the passage, but the guards in front would not let go of them and continued to run after them. During the interval, both the backs of Murong Yunxi and Murong Qingtian were hit. Murong Qingtian nearly spat up blood, but tried his best to hold it back.

Lu Yang quickly covered the two behind him. He also felt that it was a little difficult and had to try harder due to facing too many enemies.

Murong Yunxi could not worry about that too much. Lu Yang tried his best to create this opportunity for them to escape, so how could she not try hard to run away?

Murong Yunqi took Murong Qingtian to run out, while Lu Yang helped them by blocking the guards. Thanks to the narrow passageway, it would be easier to block the enemies. Even so, he was hit by them several times.

Right at the moment, the door in front of Murong Yunxi and Murong Qingtian opened again. Another three people came in. The first one they saw was actually Murong Haotian.

This discovery made Murong Qingtian shocked. No matter how many times Murong Ye tried to tell him that Murong Haotian had evil intentions, he would not be willing to believe it, as he trusted the brotherhood between them. Now, his face was punched with a naked slap and it was extremely painful.

The younger brother he chose to always believe was the chief plotter behind this kidnapping. He hoped to finally confirm it and asked, “Haotian, why are you here?”

Murong Qingtian really hoped to hear Murong Haotian tell him: “Big brother, I came to save you.”

But Murong Haotian’s sarcastic gaze and disdainful expression fully proved that this guess was wrong.

“Why, why am I here? How could I answer this question? Will you feel happy if I tell you I’ve come to save you?” After saying this, Murong Haotian turned to look at Murong Yunxi, who was pulling Murong Qingtian.

Murong Haotian’s eyes condensed. He frowned slightly and asked in surprise, “Murong Yunxi, why are you here?”

Murong Yunxi grinned and said in a similar tone as Murong Haotian, “Me, why am I here? How could I tell you? Will you be happy if I tell you I’ve come to thank you after rising again?”

Murong Yunxi’s words caused Murong Haotian to become more fierce, with a sense of bloodthirsty ferociousness.

Murong Qingtian was not stupid, but really smart. He should know what Murong Haotian had done, but chose not to know. However, from the conversation between Murong Haotian and Murong Yunxi, he had to believe it, even if he was not willing to.

Once he was willing to believe it, then everything naturally came to mind.

The fake death of Murong Yunxi had to be related to Murong Haotian. When Murong Yunxi released the fake news of her death, Murong Haotian believed it and released this news to Murong Qingtian. The latter left his old house, which gave Murong Haotian the chance to capture him.

In fact, he did not know why Murong Haotian chose this way, or perhaps, he just hoped to confirm the guess in his mind.

“Haotian, why are you doing this?” Murong Qingtian fixed his eyes on Murong Haotian, hoping to capture all his expressions.

Murong Haotian took out a pistol from his waist and played with it in his hand. A frivolous and arrogant expression was all over his face. “Why? Should I tell you the truth, or a lie?”

Murong Haotian glanced at Murong Qingtian after he said that. Then, he continued to say, “It’s simple. I want you to hand over the homeowner position of the Murong family to me and take your son and daughter to disappear from my sight. If you do so, I will not hurt all of you!”

After that, he suddenly raised his pistol, pointing at Murong Qingtian’s forehead with bloodthirsty anger in his eyes.
