Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 43
Ye Zijin helped squat down, took out the dagger Xinyu gave her, and carefully cut a hole in the sack. When she saw Zizheng's bruised face and red and swollen corners of his eyes, she couldn't help but shed tears. He could only cover his mouth to keep himself from crying.

Zizheng's mouth was still covered with tape, and his hands and feet were tightly bound with ropes, so he couldn't move. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Zijin with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Ye Zijin gently tore off the tape, and then cut off the ropes that bound Zizheng. Zizheng lowered his voice and said nervously, "Sister, why did you come here... Hurry up... These people are ruthless."

Ye Zijin just shook his head, held his hand, and said firmly, "Let's go together."

Ye Zijin carefully supported Zizheng to stand up. Because he had been lying on the ground for too long and his leg was injured, Zizheng staggered twice and nearly fell when he stood up.Ye Zijin put one of his hands on her shoulder. Although Zizheng was already a lot taller than her, it was a bit difficult for Ye Zizheng to support her like this, but she still used all her body to support Zizheng to move towards the back door.

Every time he took a step, Ye Zijin would hold his breath and listen to the movement outside.This distance was extremely difficult and long. Although the chill of the spring night had not faded away, Ye Zijin was sweating profusely, and her clothes were sticky to her back.Her nostrils were filled with a strong smell of tobacco, mixed with the smell of dust and a faint smell of blood.With every step she took, her heart tightened unconsciously.

Finally, she was only one step away from the back door, but she didn't have the courage to push the door at this second.She was able to sneak in just now because Xiao Xia was covering the front, but now she doesn't know what's going on outside, if the back door is also guarded, if he goes out like this with Zizheng, it will be like throwing himself into a trap.

Ye Zijin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She can't panic now, she still has Zizheng, she can't let Zizheng have anything to do, she promised to take good care of her two younger brothers before Aunt Zhou died...

Ye Zijin gently leaned on the door and listened, but there was no movement outside.When she was about to reach out to push the door, Zizheng grabbed her.

Zizheng looked at her, and then signaled her to pay attention to the gap under the door.I saw the light coming in through the gap flickering, as if someone was walking outside the door.It seems that the back door is also guarded!Ye Zijin was startled, could it be that someone had already discovered her and just let her sneak into the warehouse on purpose?
Ye Zijin suddenly felt something was wrong, and quietly pulled Zizheng to hide behind a row of cargo boxes, seeing that the box could hold a person, and Zizheng was not fat, so this box could hide him.

Ye Zijin made a decisive decision, took out the tobacco and guns from a large box lightly, and then asked Zizheng to squat in.But Zizheng didn't want to hide by himself and leave her outside alone.

Now is a critical moment, how can there be so much time for her and Zizheng to give way, Ye Zijin suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger and pressed it against his neck, then looked at the empty box, and stared at Zizheng with an undeniable gaze .Ye Zizheng was both helpless and anxious, he was worried and could not bear it.The siblings stared at each other for a few seconds, and finally Zizheng surrendered obediently, curled up in the box, and let Ye Zijin cover him with tobacco.

Just as Ye Zijin hid Zizheng and prepared to transfer, a door in front was kicked open!

Only one man said: "Boss, it's not good, he ran away!"

Another loud and thick male voice roared: "Impossible, there are people guarding the front and back, they can't escape, maybe they can grow wings and fly! Let me search carefully!"
