Chapter 274 Where is she?
"Hey, even if you're going to wait, can't you at least get me inside? If this keeps up, even if you don't kill me, I probably won't survive."
While she still had a little bit of consciousness, Mu Xiaoyu opened her dry lips and spoke in a hoarse voice to Mu Pengzheng beside her.
Compared to Mu Xiaoyu's current predicament, Mu Pengzheng is clearly in a much better position.
He sat right in front of Mu Xiaoyu, wearing warm clothes and carrying a special insulated bag, looking very comfortable.
Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, he lazily glanced at her, then smiled and said, "You're not going to die yet. Besides, if you live too well, how will Li Chenxu feel sorry for you when he comes?"
Mu Xiaoyu was almost furious at Mu Pengzheng's words, but Mu Pengzheng's words did have some effect. Mu Xiaoyu's originally muddled mind became a little clearer because of Mu Pengzheng's words.
She shook her head, trying to clear her head.
Knowing that nothing she said would make a difference, Mu Xiaoyu didn't bother to speak again. She knew her own condition all too well; in this freezing weather, if things continued like this without conserving her energy, she was really going to die.
So for the rest of the time, Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything more and just stood there quietly with her eyes closed.
After an unknown amount of time, the rusty iron gate on the rooftop suddenly stirred. Mu Xiaoyu abruptly opened her eyes, and Mu Pengzheng, upon hearing the sound, immediately looked towards the iron gate. At the same time, he stood beside Mu Xiaoyu, pulled out a fruit knife from somewhere, and pressed it against Mu Xiaoyu's waist.
"I told you, Li Chenxu still cares about you. Isn't he here for you?"
Mu Pengzheng's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and agitation, the kind of frenzied emotion one feels upon seeing their prey fall into a trap, instantly giving Mu Xiaoyu goosebumps all over her body.
She was about to say something sarcastic to Mu Pengzheng, but when she felt the thing at her waist, she swallowed the words back.
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. She'll endure it for now, but if she gets a chance to escape from Mu Pengzheng, she'll definitely not let him get away with it. This time, they've faced off directly; she refuses to believe that Mu Pengzheng will be able to hide as far away as before!
The iron gate was knocked on a few times from the outside, and a moment later, with a bang, the gate was kicked open from the inside, and the next second, Li Chenxu's gloomy face appeared in front of them.
It was obvious that Li Chenxu had been looking for Mu Xiaoyu for a long time. His appearance was very different from usual. His hair, which was usually neatly styled, was now slightly messy, and his clothes were not as tidy as usual.
Seeing Li Chenxu in such a 'disheveled' state, Mu Xiaoyu felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She opened her mouth and softly called out to Li Chenxu, but her voice was so soft that even she herself seemed unable to hear it clearly.
As if he had heard her words, Li Chenxu's expression softened slightly, and he mouthed "Don't be afraid" in Mu Xiaoyu's direction.
"I never would have guessed that someone like you could actually fall in love with someone."
Mu Pengzheng, who was standing to the side, saw all the little things between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu. He sneered and his eyes showed no concealment of hatred when Li Chenxu appeared.
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but his gaze shifted from Mu Xiaoyu to the tools in Mu Pengzheng's hands.
"What do you want?"
When Mu Xiaoyu was kidnapped and went missing, Li Chenxu's men immediately notified him. Xu Sulin, who had originally been cooperating with Mu Xiaoyu, also sensed something was wrong and quickly told Li Chenxu about her plan with Mu Xiaoyu.
When they first started looking for Mu Xiaoyu, everyone's attention was focused on Liang Qiao and Ge Yun, and no one paid any attention to Liang Qiao's inconspicuous assistant.
If Mu Pengzheng hadn't deliberately leaked the information to Li Chenxu, they probably wouldn't have been able to find Mu Pengzheng even if they had searched for several more days.
Upon hearing this, Mu Pengzheng did not immediately answer Li Chenxu's question. His eyes, filled with hatred, glanced down at the rooftop and then at Li Chenxu's back, as if confirming something. After a while, he finally spoke, "I told you to come alone. You didn't bring anyone with you, did you?"
"No, I don't think you're alone. Don't you know whether I brought anyone with me or not?"
Even though Li Chenxu is at a disadvantage now, he still doesn't show any panic. Apart from the obvious worry in his eyes when he first opened the door and saw Mu Xiaoyu, he looks very calm no matter what Mu Pengzheng is doing.
However, the calmer he became, the deeper the hatred in Mu Pengzheng's heart grew.
However, at this point, he didn't lose his temper; he just laughed.
Mu Peng squinted and stared at Li Chenxu for a long time before finally saying with a half-smile, "Li Chenxu, you're so smart, don't you know why I asked you to come here? Tell me, where is she?"
If Mu Xiaoyu might not have known who this "she" Mu Pengzheng was talking about was before, then if she still didn't understand what had happened before, then she would be hopelessly stupid.
Li Chenxu naturally understood who Mu Pengzheng was referring to. Upon hearing Mu Pengzheng's words, his expression remained unchanged. He simply said in a low voice, "Release Xiaoyu, and I'll tell you where she is. If anything happens to Xiaoyu, you'll never see her again in this lifetime."
There were almost no lights on the rooftop; they could only see each other through the dim darkness of the night. Therefore, from where Li Chenxu was standing, he couldn't clearly see Mu Xiaoyu's current situation.
Even so, Li Chenxu still sensed that Mu Xiaoyu's condition was not good. Therefore, he became even more assertive towards Mu Pengzheng.
He could keep going with Mu Pengzheng, but he couldn't keep going with Mu Xiaoyu. He couldn't bear to see Mu Xiaoyu get hurt; that would be worse than killing him.
Unfortunately, no matter how ruthless Li Chenxu was, he wasn't as ruthless as a madman like Mu Pengzheng when it came to being heartless and cruel.
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Peng scoffed disdainfully, his gaze turning dark as he looked at Li Chenxu and said, "You think I'm that easy to fool, Li Chenxu? Since you're already here, I won't waste my breath on you. Tell me her whereabouts, and at least for now, I won't kill Mu Xiaoyu immediately, otherwise..."
