Chapter 2025 Direct Confrontation
Chapter 2025 Direct Confrontation
Zhou Lie's words were like a knife, cutting the little hope of the girls in the yard into pieces.
Some people twisted the corners of their clothes with their fingertips, while others quietly shrank back with panic in their eyes.
Number Seven wiped his eyes and slowly moved towards Zhou Lie.
This gave some motivation to those who had not yet made up their minds. The remaining girls looked at each other, and some of them moved their feet. The noise in the yard became more and more chaotic.
Su Shengsheng was anxious. He took a step forward and shouted angrily, "Your destiny is in your own hands! If you give up and become a fish at the mercy of others, what's the point of living for two more days?"
Girl number seven turned around, tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with grievance. "You come from a good family, so of course you can say that. We were born with lowly lives, like duckweed in the water. How could we have the right to choose?"
"You can't choose your birth, but you can choose your own path!" Su Shengsheng gritted his teeth, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger. "If you choose Zhou Lie now, not only will all our efforts to save you be wasted, but you'll also be handing your life back into the hands of this beast!"
Zhou Lie laughed out loud when he heard this, and his laughter was full of pride: "See? Even if you rescue them, they will still come back to me in the end."
Su Shengsheng was so angry that his chest felt tight. Just as he was about to say something else, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "I choose you."
Su Shengsheng turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Number Nine. His eyes suddenly lit up and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Number Nine took two steps forward and stood beside her, saying solemnly, "Even if it means death, I will choose you. I can't let your efforts go to waste. I also want to fight for myself once."
With No. 9 taking the lead, the girls who had been hesitant just now gradually calmed down.
Someone nodded and whispered, "I choose Young Master too."
"I won't go with him."
After a while, the yard was divided into two sides. One side was Zhou Lie and a few girls, and the other side was most of the people led by Su Shengsheng.
Su Shengsheng looked at the girls around him and said firmly, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let you be bullied. Even if we really have no other choice, I will die before you."
Number Seven stood beside Zhou Lie, his eyes fixed on Number Nine.
Number Nine met her gaze, his eyes filled with contempt.
Number Seven was stung by her gaze and couldn't help but sneer, "You know very well that she can't win at all."
"Winning or not is one thing, whether you are willing to give it a try is another." Number Nine replied coldly.
Number Seven sneered, "Fight? You're fighting with other people's lives? Let them die in confusion?"
Su Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Number Nine in confusion.
Number Nine pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Number Seven rushed to speak: "Let me tell you, that Mu Wan is not a good person at all! She is from the island!"
Su Shengsheng's heart sank suddenly and his face changed abruptly.
Mu Wan? That soft-spoken woman who looked so fragile she could fall at the slightest breeze was actually from the island?
If Mu Wan is really from the island, then wouldn’t Yan Ruyu be in danger?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Su Shengsheng's hands and feet felt cold. She clenched her hands and looked at Number Seven: "Are you telling the truth? How do you know Mu Wan is from the island?"
Number Seven raised his chin, with a hint of gloating: "I've seen her talking to those guards on the island before, and her tone was very familiar.
Moreover, she had shown up when we first arrived at that yard.
If it weren't for her, do you think you could have successfully rescued us from the dark room? She was deliberately following you, waiting for an opportunity to capture everyone!"
Su Shengsheng's heart was pounding as he recalled the scene at that time, and remembered some details that he had overlooked at the time.
Yes, when No. 7 and No. 9 were rescued, Mu Wan came to help. The moment No. 7 saw her, his expression changed and he seemed very scared.
Number Nine remained silent.
It seems that, nine out of ten times, it is true.
Su Shengsheng gritted his teeth: "If you already knew it, why are you telling it now?"
"Will it be of any use if I tell you?" Number Seven glanced at Zhou Lie, and seeing that he didn't object, he continued, "The fact that she's here with me means that the situation outside is still under her control.
Any struggle is futile. If you are smart, surrender quickly with your men. Don't wait for Mu Wan to come back and tie you all up."
Su Shengsheng ignored what Number Seven said, his mind full of Yan Ruyu's safety.
She used to think that Mu Wan was docile and reliable, and asked Mu Wan to follow Yan Ruyu and lead the way. Now she thinks that she is simply pushing Yan Ruyu into danger.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and looked at the girls around her: "Whether Mu Wan is from the island or not, we can't panic now. I don't believe that evil people can be rampant forever!
If you want to come with me, be prepared to face danger."
Number Nine immediately said, "I'm not afraid of danger. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but I also felt... there was no hope of survival."
"But now, I am willing to fight to the death. Please trust me again!"
The other girls looked at each other, and someone whispered, "We're not afraid either."
Seeing that no one was coming towards him, Zhou Lie's face darkened. "Well, since you chose to die, don't be afraid of my ruthlessness. Today, none of you can escape."
Su Shengsheng showed his weapon: "There's no point in talking any more, let's do it!"
Zhou Lie took a step back and waved his hand. The people behind him immediately stepped forward, weapons flashing, and faced Su Shengsheng directly.
Su Shengsheng gritted her teeth and was afraid in her heart, but regardless of being a daughter of the Su family or having a passion for justice in her heart, she could not be afraid and could not retreat.
Besides, there was no escape route behind her, only those weak girls.
Su Shengsheng took the initiative to attack. This time was different from the previous ones in the Su family's martial arts arena. She was not facing her father's subordinates or her eldest brother's friends, but the people who really wanted her life.
Then she would have to risk her life.
Su Shengsheng has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and grew up following Su Jingzhuo. Su Zhenhai never asked her to act like a girl. He allowed her to do as she pleased and wield swords and guns, and often gave her personal instruction in his spare time.
So, don't be fooled by her young age and thin body, her martial arts skills are quite good.
As soon as they fought, Zhou Lie's men were surprised.
I originally thought she was just a little girl, bluffing and showing off her skills, but I didn't expect her to be so fierce and powerful with every blow of her sword.
They immediately perked up and dared not be negligent.
After just over a dozen rounds, one of them was hit on the arm by Su Shengsheng.
With a "clang", the knife fell to the ground. Su Shengsheng kicked the knife with his toes and kicked it back to his own team.
Number Nine immediately seized the opportunity and picked up the knife.
Su Shengsheng's victory gave the girls a boost of energy.
