Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 42: Escape by Diving

After Shen Nankui was untied, he had been secretly on guard against him. When he saw him rushing towards him, he quickly dodged to the side.

The man missed his first pounce, but immediately came over again. The difference in strength between the two was too great, and Shen Nankui was eventually captured by him and held in his arms.

This time Shen Nankui's hands and feet were free. She hugged the man's arm and bit it hard.

The man was caught off guard and she almost tore off a piece of his flesh. He let go in a hurry due to the pain.

"Bitch!"

Blood was gushing from the man's wrist, and his eyes turned more vicious as he looked at Shen Nankui.

"I want to see what else you can do!"

He tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve, wrapped it around the wound, and moved towards Shen Nankui again.

Shen Nankui was trapped in a corner, with nowhere to retreat, and looked helpless.

The man's eyes were bloodthirsty and the pain in his wrist made his whole body tremble, but this intense pain made him even more excited.

"If you had obeyed me, you might have returned safely by now, but you insisted on going against me!"

The man looked sinister, "I love beautiful women the most in my life. All I want is to spend a night with a beautiful woman. Not only did you threaten me, you also dared to hurt me. Today I will let you know what regret is!"

"No matter who you are, you can't leave my villa."

The man's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He grabbed Shen Nankui and slapped her twice.

Shen Nankui was beaten so hard that he saw stars, his ears were buzzing, his body was shaking and he almost couldn't stand.

The man pushed her against the wall. "Are you scared now? It's too late!"

He buried his head in Shen Nankui's neck and sniffed, the fragrant smell intoxicated him.

It was at this moment that Shen Nankui seized the opportunity and stabbed the hairpin that she had already held in her hand into his neck.

She tried desperately to suppress the smell of blood in her mouth and stabbed the man hard.

After an unknown number of stabs, the man's body went limp, and he staggered back a few steps, holding his neck.

He looked incredulous, "Bitch, you..."

Shen Nankui ignored him and took advantage of the fact that he was injured to rush towards the door.

The man saw her intention, covered his neck and chased after her, shouting towards a distance.

"Someone, stop her!"

Five or six people suddenly rushed out from all sides of the room and surrounded Shen Nankui.

The man was in pain and angry, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Break her hands and legs and throw her on the bed!"

Everyone was shocked when they saw the man covered in blood.

They had never seen their master in such a miserable state before, and it was caused by this seemingly weak woman in front of them?

"What are you standing there for? Catch her!"

The man shouted angrily, and then everyone took action and pressed towards Shen Nankui.

Shen Nankui sighed inwardly.

It seems that it is impossible to get out of here.

But her previous guess was correct. This garden was indeed built beside the water, and in front of her was a lotus pond with no end in sight.

It was already dark and the lotus pond was pitch black. If she jumped into the water to escape, she might have a chance to survive!

Thinking of this, Shen Nankui no longer hesitated, ran to the railing and jumped.

Before anyone could catch her, she jumped into the water.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This woman is so decisive!

The man was furious and stamped his feet angrily, "Row the boat and chase!"

No matter if this woman hurt him today or if it was those backers she mentioned, he couldn't let her walk out of this villa alive!

While everyone was trying to stop the man's bleeding, they lit torches and went into the water to chase him.

There was a faint fire in the villa, and it was chaotic for a while.

-

While Gu Yichuan asked someone to report to the authorities, he also wrote a handwritten letter to the county magistrate.

After reading the letter, County Magistrate Zhou also realized that Shen Nankui's identity was unusual, so he quickly sent officers and soldiers to look for him.

There was an experienced official who had handled countless cases. After some investigation in Lai'an Town, he immediately found some clues. Following the testimony of eyewitnesses, they came to a very secluded mountain villa.

"It should be here." The old official murmured.

The village head and Gu Yichuan were also among them.

Most of the day had passed, and now it was dark. Gu Yichuan was already extremely anxious, and hurriedly said, "Captain Liu, please take someone in to investigate immediately."

Captain Liu nodded and waved his right hand, and a team of soldiers broke in.

When the people in the villa saw the soldiers coming, they were all in a panic.

Seeing this, Captain Liu became more certain of his guess and ordered, "Catch them all and interrogate them strictly!"

It didn’t take long for them to catch the man trying to sneak out the back door.

Captain Liu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Wu Shao, is that you?"

Wu Shao was the man from before. His wounds had already been bandaged, and when he was discovered, he could only pretend to be surprised.

"Captain Liu, why are you here? Are you here to drink with me?"

Captain Liu said bluntly, "Do I look like I want to drink? Let me ask you, did you arrest a woman today? Where is she?"

Wu Shao was puzzled. "What woman? There are only male servants in my villa. Captain Liu wants to find a woman, but I'm afraid he has come to the wrong place."

"Don't play dumb, what's wrong with your injuries?"

"This injury..."

Wu Shao rolled his eyes and said, "A few days ago, I bought a dog on the street on a whim. I wanted to keep it for fun, but the beast was disobedient and dared to bite me, so I killed it."

"There's blood on you, could it be that you just killed someone?"

"That's right..." Wu Shao nodded.

"What about the dog?"

Wu Shao pointed to the lotus pond and said, "Throw it into the water."

Captain Liu looked as if he was smiling, "Since you've killed him, why not make a pot of dog meat soup? Why throw it away?"

Wu Shao laughed dryly, "Haha...it bit me, I was really annoyed, so I just threw it away."

Captain Liu didn't want to deal with him anymore, so he suddenly reached out and groped his body, pulling out a bloody hairpin from his arms.

Gu Yichuan's pupils shrank and he immediately snatched the hairpin to check it.

"Captain Liu, this is my wife's hairpin!"

He looked at Wu Shao with a murderous gaze, "Tell me, where is my wife!"

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Wu Shao was also panicked. He swallowed and said, "I don't know what you are talking about..."

Gu Yichuan couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly raised his fist and punched him, each blow seemed to crush him.

"Where on earth is my wife?"

There was so much blood on this person, he couldn't imagine if there was any of his wife's blood in it...

A constable came over to answer.

"Boss, we didn't find the person we were looking for in the villa."

Gu Yichuan was stunned, and the hatred in his heart burst out instantly. He pinched Wu Shao's neck tightly, "Tell me quickly, where is she?"
