Chapter 721: A Chance to Escape
Fortunately, although Chen Lan and the others were threatening the doctor, they didn't actually do anything to him.
After examining Mu Xiaoyu, they released her.
"Is it okay to just release him like this? What if he complains and calls the police?"
"That's impossible. I'll have someone follow him, and if he does anything disobedient, I'll kill him immediately!"
Chen Lan spoke calmly; the word "kind-hearted" had never been associated with a woman like her. Especially after experiencing those "tortures," the hatred she harbored for Mu Xiaoyu had turned her into a "madwoman."
For her, murder was something that had become commonplace.
The doctor stumbled back to his home. This was a rural area, and with the poor economic development, there wasn't a single rural villa that would have been built in a typical rural area long ago.
Even the doctors here live in those old-fashioned houses with mud walls. They've been around for years and look rather dilapidated from the outside, as if they won't stand for long before collapsing.
Following behind the doctor were some thugs who had previously hung out with Chen Lan. They knew that Chen Lan would get a large sum of money from kidnapping Mu Xiaoyu, so they came along.
Thinking that Chen Lan and the others did nothing in the house while he was just a gofer, he was already resentful.
Seeing where the doctor lives now only intensifies my frustration.
Such a poor and destitute doctor probably has trouble even making a living. What kind of trouble can such a person cause?
With this in mind, he became increasingly careless in his duties as a doctor.
So what he didn't know was that the doctor inside the room was secretly watching him from outside.
When the doctor came out earlier, he knew someone was following him. However, he wasn't sure whether the person wanted to kill him or was simply monitoring him.
So he didn't act rashly. After returning home, he carefully observed the movements of the people outside.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that the other party was just monitoring him and had not done anything else.
He quietly observed the people outside for a while, then took out his phone...
Mu Xiaoyu didn't know when she actually woke up. She woke up several times in between, but felt extremely uncomfortable all over. She would wake up and then faint again. She didn't know how long this intermittent state lasted.
When I finally woke up, it was still dark outside.
She tried to move around a bit, and although she was still sore and weak, it was much better than last time.
The room was dark, but a few beams of light shone through the seemingly sealed window, providing a meager glimpse of light.
Mu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, trying to keep her mind clear. She looked warily toward the door, making sure no one would come anytime soon, before carefully moving her body closer and closer to the window.
When she was brought here by Chen Lan's men, her hair was held up with a metal hair clip. Perhaps because she was holding it up tightly, the hair clip didn't fall off even after the several bumps.
Mu Xiaoyu took off her hair clip and carefully tapped it twice on the glass window.
Her movements were small, as if the sound was made accidentally.
After making these sounds, Lin Xiao confirmed that no one was outside, and then knocked on the glass window twice more. She wanted to check the thickness of the glass; she didn't need to break the entire window, just make a hole so she could see what was happening outside and have a chance to escape.
Li Chenxu has definitely sent people to look for her, but it's unclear how long it will take. Before Li Chenxu arrives, she must find a way to ensure her safety.
Recalling what Chen Lan had said to her last time, it was clear that Chen Lan was planning how to hurt her.
They said they would make her wish she were dead, but Mu Xiaoyu didn't even dare to think about what that meant.
Whether for her own sake or for Li Chenxu and An'an's, she cannot let Chen Lan and Li's father succeed!
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu gripped the hair clip even tighter. She used the hair clip to scrape against the glass window forcefully. Fortunately, the glass window wasn't thick, and after a while, a crack was clearly visible on it!
Mu Xiaoyu's face lit up with joy, and her hands immediately quickened their movements.
However, at that moment, the door was suddenly opened.
The next second, Chen Lan appeared in the room, walked over in a few steps, and kicked Mu Xiaoyu!
All of this happened so suddenly that Mu Xiaoyu didn't have time to react before Chen Lan kicked her to the ground.
At that moment, the glass window, which had only a slight crack, shattered. Taking advantage of the dim light in the room and Chen Lan's inability to see, Mu Xiaoyu quickly grabbed one of the glass shards and held it in her hand.
As expected, Chen Lan didn't see her little action. She had only planned to check on Mu Xiaoyu's condition before going to bed, but she didn't expect to see this scene as soon as she came in.
Rage filled Chen Lan's mind. She stomped on Mu Xiaoyu's leg and said, "You bitch, don't think you can escape. I was thinking of giving you some time to recover, but it seems you don't need that now. Fine, just you wait until tomorrow!"
After saying that, Chen Lan seemed to feel that this was not enough to vent her anger, so she stomped on Mu Xiaoyu a few more times before preparing to leave.
However, the moment she turned around, Mu Xiaoyu, who had been kicked to the ground, stood up and held the shard of glass against the back of Chen Lan's neck.
"what are you up to……"
"Shut up! If you don't want to die, you'd better behave now!"
Mu Xiaoyu spoke with difficulty. She had no strength left. All her strength was now being used to control Chen Lan. She tried to speak as little as possible to avoid wasting her energy.
Chen Lan was shocked that Mu Xiaoyu would do such a thing, and at that moment, the hairs on her body stood on end.
"Mu Xiaoyu... don't do anything foolish. Let me tell you, there are people of ours everywhere outside. Besides, it wasn't just me who made the decision to kidnap you this time. Even if you try to blackmail me like this, it won't work."
"Whether it's useful or not, I know for myself. Tell me, how many people are outside! Chen Lan, let me tell you, I'm not guaranteed a good outcome if I fall into your hands. Rather than be humiliated by you, I'd rather take a gamble. If you dare to lie to me, I'll really kill you!"
After saying that, he tightened his grip, pressing the glass shard against Chen Lan's neck even harder. The pain made Chen Lan immediately become obedient, no longer daring to move: "I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, just watch out, don't accidentally hurt me! If I'm not killed, you won't escape either!"
