The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Escape!

The moment Scarface reached out to grab his collar, Xu Wen suddenly bent down, grabbed a brick, and instead of throwing it at the person, he used all his strength to hit the rope at the bottom of the bundle of bamboo poles!

“Bang!” The bricks fell and the rope broke!The bamboo pole that lost its restraints instantly shot out like an explosion, rolled down, and stabbed towards the three people with a crackling sound!

“Ouch!”

“Fuck! What the hell!”

The three of them were caught off guard and stumbled over the falling bamboo poles. They subconsciously hurriedly tried to block the pointed ends of the bamboo poles that were poking at their faces.

That’s it now!A fierce look flashed in Xu Wen’s eyes. He did not choose the narrow exit, but unexpectedly rushed towards the towering brick wall on the side!His survival instinct unleashed his full potential. He used his hands and feet together, digging his fingers into the cracks of the bricks. His pedals were bulging, and he climbed up as clumsily but quickly as a gecko!

The three people below just pushed aside the bamboo pole and were stunned when they saw Xu Wen hanging on the wall like a gecko.

“Damn it! He wants to climb over the wall! Drag him down!” Scarface roared.

A thick hand almost grabbed Xu Wen’s ankle!At the critical moment, Xu Wen exerted force on his waist, jumped upwards, and finally grasped the gravel-covered wall with his palms!There was a stinging pain in the palm of his hand. He didn’t care so much. He used his hands and feet to roll up in an unusually embarrassed manner. He didn’t even have time to look at the other side before jumping down!

“Plop!” The body was smashed into a pile of soft garbage bags that exuded rancid smell, which cushioned the force.

Nausea and pain hit him instantly, but he didn’t dare to waste even a second. He rolled to his feet and found himself in a narrower and deserted back alley.

He didn’t dare to stop, and didn’t even have time to breathe. He just ran in one direction based on his intuition and vague sense of the system!There were angry curses and climbing noises coming from the wall behind me, but they seemed to be temporarily shaken off.

Xu Wen was like a rabbit being chased by hounds, running for his life in the maze-like alley.His heart was beating so fast that it was about to explode, his lungs were burning with pain, sweat mixed with dirt flowed into his eyes, and his vision was blurred.

He didn’t know how long he ran, until he could no longer hear the chase behind him, then he suddenly turned into a corner filled with old wooden boxes, curled up, gasping for air, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

He clutched his inner pocket tightly, and the ten thousand yuan was still there.But just now, he really had a brush with danger, almost…

Fear, fear, and a sense of exhaustion for the rest of my life came together.He leaned against the cold wooden box, raised his head, and looked at the narrow, unpolluted sky above his head. For the first time, he realized so clearly that the world in the book was far more cruel and dangerous than he imagined.

And if he wants to live, complete his mission, and protect Lu Qingrang, he can no longer have any naive illusions.

After resting for less than a minute, the intense worry dispelled the exhaustion.

[System, navigate back to the hotel and ask for the most roundabout route.] He called urgently in his heart, his voice hoarse and anxious.

He remembered that Lu Qingrang said that if he didn’t go back for half an hour, he would come out to look for him.With Lu Qingrang in the same state as that porcelain doll, it is unimaginable to be in this dark alley of cannibalism!

[The route is being re-planned… Please follow the instructions.】The sound of the system is still smooth and waveless.

Xu Wen gritted his teeth, wiped the sweat and dust from his face, discerned the direction, and merged into the shadows again.

He didn’t dare to walk too fast, and took every step carefully, wary of any disturbance, and took a much longer detour than when he came.

Just as he passed through a narrow alley filled with discarded furniture that only allowed one person to pass, and when he turned another corner and saw the broken signboard of Ping An Hotel, a thin and familiar figure, holding on to the dirty wall, appeared staggeringly in the faint light of the alley entrance.

It’s Lu Qingrang!

He obviously came out secretly, his face was paler than before, his breathing was a little rapid, and his eyes, which always looked dead or calm, were filled with anxiety and worry that he couldn’t hide in time.

He was looking up and around, seemingly struggling to identify his direction and looking for something.

The next second, his eyes collided with the embarrassed Xu Wen who had just emerged from the shadows.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Lu Qing narrowed his pupils and glanced quickly at Xu Wen’s messy hair, dirty cheeks, bruised and bleeding palms, and the frightened eyes with residual fear.

Xu Wen also looked at Lu Qingrang, and when he saw him standing here safe and sound, his heart that had been hanging suddenly fell back to its ground, followed by a strong emotion of fear and relief.

“…Xu Wen?” Lu Qingrang’s voice was very soft, with a slight tremor of uncertainty.

Xu Wen opened his mouth, trying to smile, wanting to say “I’m fine”, wanting to ask him why he ran out.

But all the words were stuck in his throat, and in the end they turned into a hurried growl filled with exhaustion and reproach: “Didn’t I ask you to wait in the room! Who asked you to come out! Don’t you know how dangerous this place is!”

He rushed forward in a few steps and grabbed Lu Qingrang’s arm with such force that he almost pulled him back.The action seemed rough, but the slightly trembling fingers and the moment Lu Qingrang was guarding him behind him, and the eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly revealed his true fear, not for himself, but for the other party.

Lu Qingrang staggered when he pulled him, but he didn’t struggle.He clearly felt the tremor coming from Xu Wen’s hand.

He looked at Xu Wen’s dirty profile and tight jawline, and something quietly melted away in those empty eyes.

He lowered his eyes and let Xu Wen hold him, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible:

“…Half an hour.”

“I said, if you don’t come back in half an hour… I will go find you.”

With such a simple sentence, Xu Wen could no longer say the words of blame he wanted to say, leaving only a heart filled with sadness and the warmth of being cared about.

“Let’s go back first.”

Xu Wen’s voice softened, but he still held Lu Qingrang’s arm tightly, as if he was afraid that he would disappear into this dangerous dark alley if he let go.

He pulled Lu Qingrang, quickened his pace, and walked towards the Ping An Hotel, which could temporarily provide a little shelter.
