Peach-Orange! – Chapter 529 – Protection Is a Word for the Capable

Following the sound, Su Tao suddenly widened her eyes, “Song Liyin!”

The person before her was the figure in the maid outfit from the helicopter!

How did this person manage to find this place?!

Su Tao quickly turned around, wanting to run towards the other end of the alley.

But upon turning, she found the other end of the alley was also filled with bodyguards in black. Even worse, these bodyguards were not only carrying guns!

Moreover, Su Tao sensed the aura of ancient martial arts from many of them.

This small alley was completely surrounded!

Hearing Su Tao’s words, Song Liyin also showed a trace of surprise, “If I remember correctly, this is our first meeting, right? Miss Su Tao actually knows my name?”

Su Tao pressed her body against the wall as much as possible, shielding Chi Xiaocheng who was on her back, and at the same time, pulled Fang Ning behind her.

She looked nervously at Song Liyin, “What exactly do you want!”

Song Liyin smiled elegantly, “I’ve brought so many people here, isn’t it clear what I want? Hand over the Chi Xiaocheng behind you. If you do, I might still let you go.”

“Don’t even think about it!”

Song Liyin scoffed, “To be honest, I don’t want to make things difficult for you either. She must be seriously injured now, right? Honestly, handing her over would be better for her. You don’t have the ability to treat her or protect her.”

Upon hearing this, Su Tao’s eyes instantly turned red.

Protect, protect, protect, protect!

Why does everyone say I can’t protect Xiaocheng!

Why do you all want to take Xiaocheng away from me!

Su Tao clenched her teeth, “No matter what, I will not hand Xiaocheng over to you!”

I just promised Xiaocheng that I would protect her!

Yes, I will protect her.

Su Tao gave herself a reassurance, forcing a slightly strained smile, “Besides, Song Liyin, do you really think Xiaocheng would go with you? She would never leave me.”

“Right, Xiaocheng?”

Su Tao called out softly towards her back.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response from Chi Xiaocheng.

Fang Ning, who was shrinking her neck in fear beside her, whispered, “Sister Su Tao, Sister Xiaocheng seems to have a fever… her breathing is so heavy…”

Su Tao’s pupils constricted, and she quickly looked back.

Chi Xiaocheng’s face was extremely flushed, her breathing was heavy, and she looked weak.

Originally injured, she had been tensing her body and spirit. After meeting Su Tao, she suddenly felt relieved, her spirit collapsed, and the physical aftermath rushed over her.

At that moment, another person walked in from the alley entrance.

To be precise, this person wasn’t walking.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed forward by a bodyguard.

It was Ye Liang. He looked at Su Tao with a ferocious expression, “Don’t want to surrender? Fine, Su Tao, Su Tao… you don’t really think you can escape from my grasp, do you?”

“Ye Liang!”

Su Tao’s heart sank again.

Given the current situation, could she and Xiaocheng still escape?

Ye Liang gave an evil smile, “You don’t want to surrender, you don’t want to hand over Chi Xiaocheng? Then I’ll grant your wish. Capturing you will still allow me to torture you!

“Keh hah hah hah hah hah!”

He laughed heartily, as if venting his previous frustrations.

His obscene and lewd laughter echoed throughout the alley.

The maid next to him frowned slightly, turned her head coldly, and said, “Can you shut your mouth? Did I allow you to come here?”

“Guh—?”

Ye Liang’s laughter froze. He turned his head to meet Song Liyin’s icy gaze, his neck trembling. He could only force himself to stop laughing and swallow the humiliation.

Song Liyin looked back at Su Tao, “Chi Xiaocheng’s condition isn’t good either, is it? Hand her over to me. I can send her to the hospital for treatment. Otherwise, her only outcome is death.”

Death?

Su Tao’s eyes were bloodshot. She suddenly laughed, “Is death scary?”

Xiaocheng was seriously injured, some wounds hadn’t even stopped bleeding, she was blind, and her voice was hoarse.

The pain she must have endured during such torture, wasn’t it more terrifying than death!

This is just a dream, so what if we die!

I will accompany Xiaocheng on the journey!

Understanding this, Su Tao said coldly to Song Liyin, “I will not hand Xiaocheng over to you. If you have the ability, just kill me!”

Song Liyin sighed, “Why must you be like this? Your persistence, your so-called protection, will only cause Chi Xiaocheng more harm.”

She waved her hand.

A bodyguard nearby suddenly raised his rifle.

“Bang—!”

A gunshot rang out. Su Tao felt a sharp pain in her thigh, felt as if she had lost her support, and fell straight to the ground on one knee.

Chi Xiaocheng, who was on her back, fell off due to her momentary loss of strength.

Fortunately, Fang Ning quickly threw King aside and forcefully caught the falling Chi Xiaocheng.

Song Liyin signaled to another bodyguard nearby.

The bodyguard nodded and walked step by step towards Su Tao.

Su Tao’s eyes turned even redder, almost roaring out the words, “See who dares to touch Xiaocheng!”

She slapped the wall beside her. With a “boom,” the reinforced concrete wall was actually shattered by this slap, leaving a large hole!

She tried to use her legs to push against the wall and stand up.

However, what she faced were cold-blooded special forces bodyguards.

The bodyguard raised his hand and fired two more shots.

One hit her shoulder, the other landed near Chi Xiaocheng’s feet.

While restricting her mobility, it also served as a warning to Su Tao: if she moved again, the next shot might hit Chi Xiaocheng herself.

The tall and burly bodyguard arrived in front of Su Tao. His robust body was like a mountain, blocking the sun, making her feel suffocated.

The bodyguard reached out and pulled Chi Xiaocheng from Fang Ning’s arms.

Fang Ning wanted to resist, but she was already terrified.

And Su Tao could only lean against the wall, enduring the pain in her body, watching as this bodyguard lifted Chi Xiaocheng up like picking up a chick.

Her breathing became rapid, her pupils contracted.

She watched helplessly as the girl moved further and further away from her.

“No… no, don’t take her… don’t take Xiaocheng away!”

Even though she had been shot twice and couldn’t move, Su Tao mustered all her strength, lunged forward, and grabbed the bodyguard’s ankle.

“Give Xiaocheng! Back to me!”

Gritting her teeth, this hand, this firm voice, was her last stubborn resistance.

However, stubbornness alone couldn’t bring a miracle.

The bodyguard looked down from above, gazing down at the girl collapsed on the dirty ground, emitting the stench of sewer water, and said coldly, “Impotent rage.”

He shook his foot, kicking Su Tao’s hand away.

Then, without looking back, he walked towards Song Liyin.

The maid also gave Su Tao an apologetic smile, lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, and curtsied, “Well then, goodbye.”

She also turned around, her elegant back slowly reflecting in the girl’s despairing pupils.
