Chapter 243 - 243 Friends

243 Friends

Li Xiangjun snorted and immediately sobered up.

The two of them had their hands behind their backs and their legs were bent, making it look like they were tied up with the ropes from before.

“Open the door, I’ll go in and take a look. Since they’re here, I should get to know her.”

The voice sounded particularly unfamiliar.

Yue Jiaojiao had been guessing that the person who had gone to great lengths to kidnap the two of them was Lin Yunxu. After all, that guy had wanted to get Fang Tianliu to deal with them, but in the end, he had made his enemy become his friend. He had even put Lin Yunxu in jail.

When the door was opened, there was a brief ray of light.

Yue Jiaojiao’s peripheral vision had been paying attention to the movements at the door, and with the help of the little light, she could clearly see the appearance of the person who entered.

He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with white hair on his head, a square face, and had a small beard. The clothes he was wearing did not look like the long robes of the Han people, but more like the clothes used to keep out the cold in Mobei.

“Close the door.”

The man’s voice was like a stone scratching the blackboard, making people want to block their ears in annoyance.

Li Xiangjun’s eyebrows were raised and she was furious. Just as she was about to speak, she felt her shoulder being touched by the person beside her. She could only grit her teeth and pretend she was mute.

The heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer. Right then, an oil lamp suddenly appeared in front of their vision.

Li Xiangjun subconsciously tilted her head back and shouted, “Jiaojiao, be careful.”

“Interesting.”

Seeing that Yue Jiaojiao didn’t move, the man moved the oil lamp closer to her face. The smell of the burning oil lamp drilled straight into her nose, and the flame was only the size of a fingernail from Yue Jiaojiao’s cheek.

She could even feel a slight pain from the spot that was directly burned by the flame.

“Jiaojiao!”

Li Xiangjun was becoming extremely anxious.

“There really isn’t anything special,” the man muttered as he placed the oil lamp on the ground. He then moved closer to see her reaction.

Yue Jiaojiao took the opportunity to hold the oil lamp in her hand and clenched it tightly. “Xiangjun, go and lock the door from the inside.”

Li Xiangjun let out an ah and ran towards the door. She quickly locked the door from the inside and pressed her back against the door. it’s done.

“Interesting.”

The man didn’t panic at all. He even laughed in a low voice, as if someone was using a saw to rub against the cement floor. Yue Jiaojiao’s teeth ached when she heard this and she couldn’t help but shout, “Shut up!”

She was a person who had some control over her voice, so she really couldn’t stand such an unpleasant voice!

“Madam Zhao is as intelligent as the rumors say.”

The oil lamp had been stolen, and the door had been locked from the inside, but the other party did not seem to be flustered at all. Instead, he sat down directly opposite Yue Jiaojiao and looked at her with a relaxed posture. “Madam Zhao, don’t be anxious. I invited you here to have a good talk with you. I’m here to be friends.”

“Of course, if my men weren’t careful enough, I’ll apologize on their behalf. You’re both alive and unharmed. Isn’t it because they showed you mercy?”

This person’s mouth turned black into white.

When Yue Jiaojiao heard this, she felt as if she was scratching the blackboard with her nails. She was not in the mood to listen to what he was saying at all. She stood up and moved to Li Xiangjun’s side.

“Since you want to be friends, shouldn’t you introduce yourself?

“Otherwise, only you know me. If we don’t know you, I’m afraid we can’t be friends.”
