Peach-Orange! – Chapter 499 – My Young Lady Wants Her

There was no time to think now. If the bomb really exploded, both she and Su Tao would die here.

Chi Xiaocheng’s face was a bit dark at this moment. She suddenly regretted taking this risk by going along with the scheme.

The special ops team had a lot of equipment. If the Young Lady and the World Will joined forces and became desperate, a few RPGs could probably kill her and Su Tao outright, right?

Then, restarting the world would be even simpler.

Alerted by the driver, the three quickly scrambled out of the car and threw themselves to the side, trying to minimize the blast radius of the bomb.

Besides, it was already too late to run now.

However, after all three had thrown themselves onto the muddy ground by the roadside, the bomb, which had landed on the car’s front windshield, didn’t explode even after a full ten seconds.

That special ops team also didn’t appear from the darkness.

“What’s wrong with this bomb?” Blurted out Chi Xiaocheng, her heart pounding, voicing what she had meant to keep to herself. “Go check that bomb?”

She was actually calling for Xiao Hei.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, the driver looked at Chi Xiaocheng with an extremely horrified expression.

Then his gaze shifted from horror to hesitation.

Looking back at the car, he became afraid again.

After hesitating repeatedly, he finally stood up and walked towards the sedan with the blown-out tire, looking utterly aggrieved.

Chi Xiaocheng was left staring in astonishment.

She wanted to call out to stop the driver who was mustering his courage, but was interrupted by Xiao Hei beside her.

“Xiaocheng, have you forgotten? I can interact with physical objects now. I could get hurt in this situation too, and you actually want me to go check the bomb….”

As if I’m invincible in this world!

But now, this brave driver brother had already stepped up for two helpless young girls.

A moment later, the driver’s voice came, “Young ladies, this is an adhesive timer bomb. It won’t explode for another 27 minutes. It’s fine!”

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat that had beaded on his forehead from tension. “That really scared me. The car is temporarily unusable, but there’s a monitoring system in the vehicle. Since the car has problems, Young Master Dongfang probably knows we’re in trouble. Surely, reinforcements will come later.”

He tried his best to reassure the two girls before him.

But suddenly, another “whoosh” sound came from the darkness.

It was the sound of a suppressor.

Without any muzzle flash, a bullet shot out from the darkness, passing straight through the driver’s temple.

This driving brother fell straight down before he could even finish his sentence.

The wind howled.

The surroundings grew increasingly quiet.

This environment was really too reckless for facing a special ops team.

Fortunately, the gamble paid off.

The other side didn’t want to kill her and Tao-Tao outright. Although it was unclear why they were hiding motionless in the dark….

“Xiao Hei, I leave it to you?”

Chi Xiaocheng called out in her heart.

Xiao Hei responded, “No hurry. Not sure if they will actually shoot. Wait for them to show themselves.”

But while Xiao Hei could wait, Su Tao beside her couldn’t.

She was lying next to Chi Xiaocheng, half her body pressing down on her. If the other side really opened fire, Su Tao wanted to protect Chi Xiaocheng with all her might.

And right now, she was extremely calm.

“Xiaocheng, don’t be afraid. I will protect you. Listen to me carefully.”

Su Tao’s voice was cold, lacking its usual gentleness.

Her heart to protect Chi Xiaocheng was still there, but she was even angrier at these ambushers.

They wanted to take Xiaocheng away!

Even kill Xiaocheng!

Su Tao said, “I can sense five people hiding in the darkness. Two on the left, two on the right, one in front. Waiting for Dongfang Yang to come is a bit unrealistic.

“See the ditch down the side?”

Chi Xiaocheng followed Su Tao’s gaze and noticed a pitch-black small ditch behind her.

Su Tao continued, “Xiaocheng, later, just roll directly into the ditch. The special ops team’s target is very likely you. You protect yourself first. I’ll deal with them!”

“This….”

Su Tao’s bravery was somewhat beyond Chi Xiaocheng’s expectations. She quickly grabbed one of Su Tao’s arms. “Tao-Tao, are you crazy? They have guns, even bombs!”

If something happened to Su Tao, wouldn’t everything she had envisioned come to nothing?

Even the War God bloodline couldn’t withstand bullets, right!

Chi Xiaocheng said slowly, “Tao-Tao, the other side didn’t shoot us dead immediately, which proves we can negotiate with them to buy time. Don’t be too hasty, okay? The enemy is in the dark, we are in the open.”

“I…”

Of course Su Tao knew the other side had guns, but she couldn’t think of any other way.

Just then, in front of the car lights, a man in combat gear, wearing a tactical helmet, walked over. “You two, finished talking?”

The representative sent by this five-person team.

As soon as this man appeared, Xiao Hei knew things would be okay for now.

She lowered her voice, “I’ll go find the others hiding. Be careful.”

“Okay.”

Chi Xiaocheng responded and tried to get up, but Su Tao pressed down on her firmly.

The man who had reached the car said lightly, “The area is surrounded by our people. What’s the use of staying down? We don’t want to kill you right now. Why not get up and have a chat?”

Su Tao was the first to climb up, glaring fiercely at the man. “Let Xiaocheng go. You can do whatever you want to me.”

The man chuckled in reply, “Miss, aren’t you being too naive? You are both already like fish in our net. Even if we don’t let her go, can’t we still do whatever we want to you?”

That flippant tone made Su Tao furious.

But considering Chi Xiaocheng’s safety, she couldn’t lose her temper yet.

She could only swallow her anger and ask, “Then what do you want?”

The man recalled the plan the Head Maid had instructed, extended a finger, and pointed at Chi Xiaocheng, who had just gotten up from the ground. “I want her.”

“Impossible!”

Su Tao’s voice echoed through the darkness. She took a step forward, only to see the man raise the silenced pistol in his hand.

With a “bang,” a bullet struck the ground beside Su Tao’s foot.

The young girl’s advancing steps halted because of this.

But the anger on her face became even more evident.

A sense of powerlessness permeated her entire being.

‘One after another, they all want to snatch Xiaocheng away!’

‘Why does everyone want to snatch Xiaocheng away!’

‘She’s clearly mine!’

‘Why can’t I be stronger? Why can’t I protect Xiaocheng better!’

Her mind began to race again. Su Tao clenched her teeth. “Why?

“Why do all of you want to take Xiaocheng away!”

The special ops man chuckled. “Since you’re both caged birds anyway, telling you won’t hurt. It’s because my Young Lady wants her.”

“Wants… Xiaocheng?”

Su Tao’s eyes went blank.

She couldn’t understand why a Young Lady she had never met would want Chi Xiaocheng.

‘Just to take her away from me?’

‘What should I do now? Hand Xiaocong over?’

‘No, absolutely not!’

Su Tao’s eyes grew colder. The War God bloodline within her body was continuously activated by her rage. Chi Xiaocheng, standing just beside Su Tao, could even gradually feel the air around them growing warmer.

It was as if a wave of heat was emanating from Su Tao’s body.
