Chapter 1755: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (25)
At that moment, the situation was pressing.
Once the rope was severed, there was no doubt that the girl would fall to her death.
Qiao Yiyi narrowed her eyes and stared ahead.
Xu Fang was certainly nasty in the way she did things—and she didn’t look like she was pretending.
She wondered who the suspended girl was, to be treated so cruelly by Xu Fang.
As she wondered silently, Lu Nanze spoke after a silence, “What do you want in exchange for her?”
Xu Fang sneered, “You have two options. One, get my daughter out of jail!”
“That is not possible.” Lu Nanze was known to be a man who meant what he said and who never went back on his word. If he said that he would get Qiao Yiyi out of jail, then he would make sure that it was done.
Xu Fang narrowed her eyes viciously and continued, “Well then, it’s the second option. If you jump off this cliff, perhaps I will consider letting her go.”
Lu Nanze’s determined attitude agitated the woman.
Her daughter and husband were both in jail and she was now alone in the world. Life held no meaning for her.
If Lu Nanze would not let her daughter go, then she would take the man down with her today.
The thought of this agitated the woman, who acted now like a cornered beast.
She snapped her head around, tightened her grip around the scissors and started slicing the ropes.
Her eyes flashed as though she had lost her sanity.
She had no more will to live, so she would take Lu Nanze down to hell with her.
Qiao Yiyi had not expected Xu Fang to get so upset by Lu Nanze’s brief remarks. Her pupils shrank back as she stared.
She noticed that the rope had been sliced through halfway.
She was no saint, other people’s safety was really not her business.
But she needed to have her bracelet back.
If that girl fell off the cliff, her bracelet would go down with the girl. And how was her mother ever going to find her?!
At this thought, Qiao Yiyi rushed forward without a moment of hesitation.
She was very fast and her speed dazzled everyone. In a flash, she was in front of Xu Fang. She reached for the scissors in the woman’s hand, which she grabbed and tossed to the side. Then she grabbed the taut rope, ready to snap at any moment.
At the same time, Lu Nanze moved forward.
The two of them had started moving at the same time, but because Lu Nanze was not as nimble as Qiao Yiyi, he was a step behind.
When he saw Qiao Yiyi grabbing the rope, he immediately took the girl with the burlap sack over her head. He yanked her off the cliff edge, onto safer grounds further in.
The girl panicked and, as she flailed her arms and legs, her wrist hit the cliff edge.
To begin with, that bracelet had always come undone easily, otherwise she wouldn’t have dropped it in the truck.
In that instant, after a hard knock, the clasp came undone immediately. The bracelet loosened and slipped away, plunging into the bottom of the cliff.
Qiao Yiyi’s pupils shrank back as she instantly took the rope and anchored it to the side of the cliff. Then she lunged towards the edge.
She reached out and caught the bracelet in her hand.
Meanwhile, she hung precariously off the cliff edge.
Qiao Yiyi sighed in relief.
After all, a cliff like this was really nothing to her.
But as she was about to pull herself up, a searing pain that started from her shoulder shot right through her.
Her wrist at once went limp uncontrollably.
She fell down a short distance.
Damn.
In a critical moment, she had forgotten about the injury on her shoulder. And it was not an insubstantial one.
