Peach-Orange! – Chapter 504 – The World Will’s Backup Plan

“See the situation on the other side of the road. The special ops squad is completely wiped out except for the team leader, who is also severely injured and on the ground, barely clinging to life.

“Another group has arrived. Three vehicles. Initial estimate is 18 people or more.

“This group is likely a backup left by the Head Maid. They probably received the distress signal and drove over from a farm several kilometers away.

“Also, Xiaocheng, look at the sky.”

Xiao Hei’s voice continuously sounded in her heart. Chi Xiaocheng was being carried in Su Tao’s arms. Under the cover of smoke grenades, the two were constantly running deeper into the thicket.

Su Tao held Chi Xiaocheng very tightly. Neither branches, thorns, nor sharp grass managed to scratch her skin even once.

With great difficulty, she managed to poke her head out a little, but her view was blocked by the thick leaves.

She couldn’t see clearly what was in the sky.

Until a series of roaring sounds drew closer and closer. Accompanied by the timer on the bomb running out, a deafening “BOOM” erupted from far behind them, and a piercing beam of light shot down from the sky far above.

Su Tao stopped running. Together with Chi Xiaocheng, she looked up through a gap in the trees.

A helicopter!

Besides the backup force Xiao Hei reported, the other side had even deployed a helicopter!

This large spotlight shining directly on them seemed to be telling the two that there was no escape left.

How much longer until Brother Song can get here?

Even at top speed, it would take about five minutes, right?

‘But how do we deal with this helicopter?’

Fortunately, Chi Xiaocheng’s sharp eyes noticed that the helicopter wasn’t equipped with weapons. It was probably intended for transport after capturing her, to avoid accidents, and was now serving as a searchlight.

Not long after, outside the woods, a loudspeaker blared, “Miss Su Tao, Miss Chi Xiaocheng, please come out now. If you truly force our hand, we can’t be sure what will happen.”

If the helicopter isn’t a threat, could they keep going deeper into the woods?

The answer is no.

Xiao Hei said, “I suggest you go out. These people also brought many torches. They seem to be planning to set the woods on fire.”

This area hasn’t had rain for over a month. It’s extremely dry.

These woods would catch fire with just a spark.

Chi Xiaocheng said to Su Tao, “Tao-Tao, we might have to go out. If they get desperate, they will set the woods on fire.”

Su Tao took a deep breath. “Is this also what your guardian spirit told you?”

“Yes, she can see the situation outside. There are at least thirty people out there, all armed with guns.”

“All with guns… Is this really necessary?”

Su Tao didn’t understand. That Head Maid, that young mistress, could they really care about Xiaocheng this much!

To deploy such force just to take her away?!

For an ordinary civilian, guns are something they might never encounter in their lifetime. Yet first the incident in the busy market, and now this attack.

Somehow, that ordinary life had long since left her.

Even though her heart felt heavy, Su Tao still held Chi Xiaocheng and slowly emerged from the woods.

Then, she saw a man that made her blood boil.

“Ye Er!”

Over a dozen people around him were all aiming guns directly at Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng.

Even to prevent the two from escaping, his remaining underlings were spreading out to both sides of the road, determined to surround them completely.

Su Tao had a very poor relationship with Ye Er. In contrast, Chi Xiaocheng had spoken with him and even given him “poison” once.

Before Su Tao could speak, Chi Xiaocheng took a step forward and said, “Ye Er, what exactly do you mean by this? Sending people to surround us like this? Do you enjoy being the Head Maid’s pawn so much?”

Ye Er shrugged helplessly. “Chi Xiaocheng, I told you. Before, we had a chance to negotiate, a chance for you and the Head Maid to talk privately. You didn’t seize that opportunity yourself!”

“Aren’t you afraid that if I die, the poison inside you will act up?”

Ye Er sneered coldly. “Hours ago, this young master had his stomach pumped twice, front and back. If there are still problems, then I’ll admit you’re good, okay?

“Besides, I bet what was under your fingernail was just bacteria!”

Ye Er was just relatively cautious about his life. In essence, he didn’t like such rash actions.

But he had this indescribable feeling.

He was invincible!

Not invincible in the literal sense, but in terms of luck and his own feeling.

Everything he did would succeed. Everything went smoothly.

And there was a vague notion in the back of his mind: as long as he killed both people in front of him, his “invincibility” would reach a whole new level!

Looking at this man whose expression was also somewhat frenzied, Chi Xiaocheng understood. He was being influenced by the World Will.

Ye Er wasn’t the backup plan left by the Head Maid; he was the backup plan prepared by the World Will!

The flames from the exploded car illuminated the small path. Rows of dark gun barrels caused the alert skill in Chi Xiaocheng’s heart to skyrocket infinitely.

Surrounded front and back, both she and Su Tao had become Ye Er’s hostages. Even if Chi Song arrived, he could only surrender.

Could this really be a dead end?

Her right hand was pressed against her lips, subconsciously biting her thumb. Her gaze swept constantly over the gun-wielding underlings, her mind spinning frantically.

At that moment, Su Tao pulled Chi Xiaocheng behind her. With a dark expression, she said to Ye Er, “Ye Er, have you forgotten what happened to your brother, Ye Liang? If anything happens to me or Xiaocheng today, believe me, Ye Liang’s fate will be yours next!”

Ye Er scoffed. “Trying to scare me?”

Su Tao coldly snorted. “You should know my identity, right?”

She held up her phone. “A while ago, I got back in touch with my father. He will return in three days. If you want to face a War God directly, go ahead and try.”

Tao-Tao had quick wits in an emergency.

She was currently suppressing her rage, borrowing the prestige of the father she had never met.

Hearing this, Ye Er’s expression indeed changed slightly.

Seemingly hesitant, he slowly said, “Forget it. My task isn’t to kill both of you anyway. Su Tao, hand over Chi Xiaocheng, and I can let you leave.”

“Don’t even think about it!”

Su Tao immediately shielded Chi Xiaocheng, glaring fiercely at Ye Er.

Ye Er: “What’s wrong? Don’t you have your father’s help? I’m just taking Chi Xiaocheng away for now. You can always have your father step in later.”

He didn’t forget to add, “Of course, I’m acting on behalf of the Head Maid. If you have any problems, you can take it up with that young mistress from the capital.”

Hearing this, Su Tao’s fists clenched tightly again.

Young mistress! Young mistress! Young mistress!

It’s always this young mistress!

Just why is she so fixated on Xiaocheng!

Do these people only relent after Xiaocheng is dead!

“Tao-Tao….”

Behind her, Chi Xiaocheng’s warm, soft, and worried voice sounded again.

Su Tao didn’t turn around, but the smile on her face was extremely mocking.

She was mocking herself, mocking the unfairness of fate.

‘I just want to be with Xiaocheng. Is that so wrong?’
