Chapter 227 - Working In Collusion

Chapter 227 Working In Collusion

Everything else aside, this kind of cold gaze alone would be enough to make one tremble in fear.

Pearl’s face instantly turned ghostly pale. Although she was still unclear as to why Chu Tianjiao would treat Tang Xia with such an attitude, she could tell that Chu Tianjiao was very angry right now.

In the Garden of Eden, Chu Tianjiao’s anger meant destruction.

Driven completely by her subconsciousness, Pearl moved half a step forward and tried to plead for Tang Xia.

Previously, Chu Tianjiao had vented his anger on her because of this and locked her up in the dungeon to be punished along with Tang Xia. Eventually, in her bid to save Tang Xia, she had become a maid without a consciousness.

This time, she was also prepared to do so. After all, Tang Xia was her friend. A look of resolution flashed across Pearl’s pale face before she straightened her back slightly and prepared to speak.

The only difference between now and last time was that this time, Tang Xia was by her side. When Tang Xia noticed Pearl’s actions, she felt a sense of warmth in her heart. However, she beat Pearl to it and stepped out in front of her.

Tang Xia first shook her head slightly at Pearl. She meant to tell her not to be afraid or plead with this demon. That would only please Chu Tianjiao even more.

Afterwards, Tang Xia looked at Chu Tianjiao fearlessly. “I know that you think that I am overestimating myself, but it does not matter. I will not give up as long as there is a chance.

Under your shadow, Eden was a complete hell. Thus, as long as there is even a slight possibility, I will not hesitate to grab the chance to lead them and escape from this place.”

Tang Xia spoke word by word, actually challenging Chu Tianjiao publicly.

No one could speak to him like that in the Garden of Eden!

Chu Tianjiao’s handsome face became distorted and his voice trembled slightly in anger. “What did you say?”

Tang Xia had dared to call his Garden of Eden hell? That was his paradise, and nobody was allowed to desecrate it! Anybody who wanted to escape would have to pay the price!

“Was I wrong to say that?” Tang Xia, however, chuckled and retorted without flinching.

Then, under the scarily gloomy gaze of Chu Tianjiao, she added, “You treated the girls in the Garden of Eden as toys. Those who complied with you would prosper while those who opposed you would perish. If the person who disobeyed you did not die, you would control her with drugs and she would become a maid without consciousness.”

“Chu Tianjiao, don’t you feel that doing so makes you very inhuman?”

“Don’t you find it very cruel when you see those living girls get turned into maids after you rob them of their sense of autonomy?”

Since Tang Xia had already spoken up, she did not hold back. She vented all her dissatisfaction with Chu Tianjiao’s actions word by word.

“Tang Xia, you are courting death!” Chu Tianjiao was completely enraged when he heard Tang Xia’s voice. Anybody could tell that he had already reached the peak of his anger. Even the green veins on his neck had surfaced.

After he said this, Chu Tianjiao got ready to call his maid to punish Tang Xia. He had not even been so angry when Tang Xia had instigated Hell Girl to start an upheaval.

However, he now lost control just because of a few words that Tang Xia had said. Did this also mean that Tang Xia had touched a nerve?

Tang Xia’s expression remained unchanged, and she continued to use her words to expose and denounce the evil deeds of Chu Tianjiao. Chu Tianjiao, who was furious, wanted to teach Tang Xia a lesson in person.

At that moment, another figure came out of Chu Tianjiao’s room upon hearing the commotion. He first took a look at Tang Xia before he yelled at Chu Tianjiao harshly, “What are you doing? Go back to the room!”

Chu Tiankuo quickly walked over and blocked Tang Xia. He watched Chu Tianjiao, his eyes full of the dignity of an elder brother.

“Stop ordering me around!” Chu Tianjiao’s expression changed slightly upon seeing Chu Tiankuo. However, he ignored Chu Tiankuo’s orders.

Tang Xia sneered from the side when she saw that the two brothers were about to quarrel again. “Chu Tiankuo, you do not need to say anything else. Even an outsider like me can tell that your brother does not listen to you at all. Can’t you see it?”

“Chu Tianjiao turned out like this because of your lax family upbringing.”

Tang Xia spoke coldly, her words actually attacking Chu Tiankuo as well. From her point of view, as Chu Tianjiao’s elder brother, Chu Tiankuo was also responsible for Chu Tianjiao’s current state.

When Chu Tianjiao heard Tang Xia’s criticism for Chu Tiankuo, his initially angry expression faded away slightly and his lips curled up into a smile. He looked at Chu Tiankuo mockingly. “Brother, you cared about her a lot, but it seems like she does not buy into it at all.”

Chu Tiankuo’s face darkened, but he said nothing.

Suddenly, the booming sound of a helicopter nearby was heard. It sounded like it was headed towards the Garden of Eden.

The expression of everyone present changed simultaneously. Before Chu Tianjiao could react, Chu Tiankuo had already pulled Tang Xia’s hand quickly and yelled out in a low voice, “Go!”

Tang Xia was stunned for a moment. She did not understand what Chu Tiankuo meant. However, when she saw his anxious expression, she did not object. She dashed all the way to the big auditorium with Chu Tiankuo.

Behind her, Chu Tianjiao’s ballistic screams could still be heard vaguely. “You betrayed me!”

The screams seemed to be directed at Chu Tiankuo. However, Chu Tiankuo did not stop. He continued to run forward with Tang Xia without turning his head back.

Tang Xia, who did not know if Chu Tianjiao would chase after them with his men, could only follow Chu Tiankuo and dash all the way. When they reached the big auditorium, Chu Tiankuo finally stopped. Tang Xia finally got a chance to breathe and could not help but pant as she supported herself against the wall.

A helicopter was suspended in mid-air outside the window of the big auditorium, a rope ladder hanging from it. She only needed to climb out of the window sill and she would be able to escape from the Garden of Eden by helicopter.

“Let’s go.” After a moment of rest, Chu Tianjiao came over and took hold of Tang Xia’s hand again.

Tang Xia was stunned for a moment before she followed Chu Tianjiao for a few steps. Then, she finally seemed to react to this and stopped walking. She looked at Chu Tianjiao with a confused expression on her face. She could not help but call for a pause. “Hold on. What the hell is going on?”

She had obviously been in a standoff with Chu Tianjiao just now. In the blink of an eye, she would be able to escape from the Garden of Eden?

Hadn’t Chu Tiankuo been locked up by Chu Tianjiao? Where had he gotten this helicopter to pick them up?

“It was too rushed last time,” Chu Tianjiao explained to Tang Xia exasperatedly when he saw the situation.

However, when Tang Xia heard this, she flung Chu Tianjiao’s hand off coldly and her expression also turned cold. “So, last time, you encouraged us to start an upheaval when you weren’t even prepared?”

Her voice sounded ice-cold and emanated a chilling sense.

Chu Tiankuo’s expression changed, but he did not reply.

When Tang Xia saw Chu Tianjiao’s reaction, her voice turned even colder and her eyes filled with disappointment. “Do you know how much courage it took for them to make this decision and how much effort they put into it? How could you do this?”

Hell Girls’ terrible situation in tangled warfare was still vivid in her mind. Tang Xia looked at Chu Tiankuo in disappointment. She could not believe that his excuse was that he had not been prepared the previous time.

Hadn’t he known the kind of price the Hell Girls would pay because he had not been ready? Tang Xia’s eyes turned slightly red when she recalled the situation the last time she had been in the dungeon.

“Listen to me, it’s not what you think. I have my plans.”

Chu Tiankuo knew that Tangxia had misunderstood him, so he continued to speak in a deep voice. He gazed at Tang Xia with a sincere look in his eyes. “Trust me, you will understand sooner or later.”

When Tang Xia saw the sincere expression in his eyes, she began to waver. While she always said words that stung, deep in her heart, she had never believed that Chu Tiankuo would really do something harmful to her.

“Let’s leave first. After I’ve made some arrangements, we’ll return to save these people.” When he saw Tang Xia waver, Chu Tiankuo heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Tang Xia up the helicopter.

However, Tang Xia still did not move.

“I cannot leave with you now,” she said hesitantly, although her expression was firm.

“Why?” Chu Tiankuo’s tone became urgent and his eyes, which were looking at Tang Xia, dimmed inconspicuously. “Don’t you believe me?”

Tang Xia shook her head and whispered, “No, I believe you. It’s just that I cannot leave yet.”

After a lot of difficulties, she had managed to get the antidote with La Chapelle’s help. However, she had only managed to restore Pear’s consciousness so far. There were other maids that needed to be saved. The Hell Girls were also still suffering in the dungeon. She could not leave alone like this.

As Chu Tiankuo looked at Tang Xia’s firm expression, he gradually understood. However, he still asked with a hint of worry in his voice, “You really aren’t going to leave with me?”

Tang Xia smiled wryly and shook her head. “Don’t worry, I will be careful. When it’s time, make the necessary preparations outside. I will save the maids in the garden and we’ll work in collusion.”

When Chu Tiankuo heard this, he pondered deeply and muttered to himself for a moment. If he accepted Tang Xia’s proposal, the actual odds would undoubtedly be much greater. However, the risk that Tang Xia faced would also increase greatly.

Tang Xia’s expression was firm, so Chu Tianjiao knew that he could not persuade her. Time passed, and the helicopter could not stop there indefinitely. Thus, he could only nod his head. “We’ll do what you said, but you must be extra careful.”

“Alright, I will,” Tang Xia replied prudently.

Then, Chu Tiankuo boarded the helicopter without hesitation. Before he left, he took one deep look at Tang Xia. Since Tang Xia insisted on staying here, he could only cooperate with her and prepare as soon as possible to ensure her maximum safety.

Tang Xia stood on the spot and watched the helicopter fly away. After some time, she walked outside.

She believed that Chu Tiankuo would definitely make the necessary preparations outside, so she should hurry up and save the maids as soon as possible so that she could coordinate with Chu Tiankuo when the time came.

As she thought of this, Tang Xia quickly walked out of the big auditorium. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out, Tang Xia met a person she did not really want to meet.

The person in front of her had intricate makeup on her face, yet she appeared to give off the vibe of a mean, petty person. She was beautiful anchor Li Xianxian, who had entered this novel world with Tang Xia.

“For some reason, I always bump into Li Xianxian at times like this,” Tang Xia thought angrily. She wanted to avoid Li Xianxian and continue to move forward, but Li Xianxian relentlessly blocked Tang Xia’s way.

“Tang Xia, is that you? Why are you in such a hurry? What is it? What are you up to again?” Li Xianxian looked at Tang Xia mockingly, her words full of sarcasm.
