His heart was really strong, he did not take last night's assassination seriously at all. Anyway, after so many years of being assassinated, his opponent had never succeeded.

Last night's gunfire had not affected his mood in the slightest. He was still thinking about the opening of the girls' school this morning.

When Qiao Qingya's father and daughter got off the car, he just happened to notice that the aide-de-camp saw his eyes light up and hurriedly told him that this girl was Qiao Qingya's daughter, Qiao Ruo Chu.

"Qiao Ruo Chu, hmm, life is just like what we saw at the beginning. Beautiful, beautiful." Wu Shicheng laughed, the flesh on his face even making his eyes pop out. "I've done it. I've managed to get a promotion." He patted his aide on the shoulder.

The aide-de-camp was immediately overjoyed.

After lunch, he went to the Qiao family. When he arrived at the Qiao family, he just happened to see Qiao Qingya driving a car out, so he drove the car to follow behind him.

When Qiao Qingya arrived at the Qiao Clan's silk shop in the city, he followed her in. When Qiao Qingya saw the Military Government officials come into his shop, he was extremely surprised and quickly greeted them courteously.

"I'm Zheng Yuan. I'm here to congratulate Boss Qiao." Wu Zhicheng's aide-de-camp had a face full of smiles, causing Qiao Qingya to be at a loss.

"What is there to be happy about?" he asked uneasily.

"Boss Qiao is overjoyed. I heard that Boss Qiao has a daughter whom Commander Wu has admired for a long time, so he ordered me to come here to protect her." The gift is in my bag. If Boss Qiao agrees, then I'll immediately present it. " The aide-de-camp was beaming with joy, thinking that things would definitely come to an end.

Qiao Qingya seemed as if he had been struck by a metal rod, and was instantly dumbstruck.

By the time he reacted, the aide had already opened his briefcase and revealed a few golden yellow fish.

Qiao Qingya quickly held down his hand. "Deputy Zheng, please wait." He slowly stood up, "Although the Qiao family is a small family, I, Qiao Qingya, am only a daughter. It is impossible for me to send someone else as a concubine. "Please don't answer." With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Deputy Zheng was so angry that his nose was crooked. "You didn't appreciate my kindness. Just you wait."

The duck that was cooked had not even been seen before it flew away. Perhaps it would even be scolded. Zheng Yuanqi was fuming from all seven orifices, temporarily being helpless against Qiao Qingya so he could only bitterly return.

When he returned to Wu Zhicheng's office, Zheng Yuan immediately described how Qiao Qingya had rejected him.

When Wu Zhicheng heard that Qiao Qingya had rejected him, the veins on his bald head throbbed as he slammed the table. "What? Qiao Qingya doesn't know how to appreciate favors? He doesn't even put me in his eyes." It was the honor of his Qiao family for me to fall for his daughter. How dare he reject me? "Good, good!"

His expression was sinister, causing Zheng Yuan to feel terrified just by looking at him.

After Zheng Yuan left, Qiao Qing Ya had already guessed that he wouldn't be able to continue staying in the Xiang City. He planned to bring his daughter north as soon as possible and flee to the Bei Ping region to avoid Wu Shicheng.

He immediately returned home after settling the accounts. He told his daughter about this matter and also explained his plans.

Are you planning to escape?

Beiping was too far away for Qiao Ruo Chu. She had heard that they had to take the train for two days.

She knew that there was no other way her father could go.

If he stayed in Xiang City, he would only be reduced to nothing but a piece of meat on Wu Ji's chopping board.

Maybe there was something even more perverted about this old bastard. First, he would kill her father, then kidnap her and kill her. Then it would be better to commit suicide. Qiao Ruo initially didn't want to be a virtuous and strong woman, and even more so, she didn't want to be molested by Wu Zhizhi who was an old, bald, and disgusting person. If she had to choose between the two, she would have to choose a pure and strong woman.

In Xiang City, suicide was the best way out.

Escaping might be better than staying.

Qiao Ruoxi agreed to her father's decision to head north.

For several days, it rained heavily in the Xiang City, not even opening for a day.

That evening, in the drizzling rain, there was a sudden burst of rain. The rain suddenly stopped and the sky cleared up.

After the rain, the air brought the sweet green grass into the room. Under the white light of the circular carved flower head sucking lamp in the living room, one could see the fine water drops.

Mama Sun and Mama Meng prepared a whole table of food. Red roasted chicken tofu, fried fish with fragrant fry, tofu mixed with tofu, and even made Qiao Ruo's first favorite fried dough ball. They still didn't know what had happened to Qiao Ruo Chu, and Qiao Qingya temporarily didn't intend to tell them.

He wouldn't be able to take so many people with him. When he left, he would leave some money for them to live on.

Qiao Qing Ya sat at the dining table, planning his escape route while eating his food. Aunt Yu also ate her food with interest. Qiao Ruo's appetite was gone at first. She lowered her head and stared at the rice in a daze.

"Auntie, I have a bad stomach. I can't eat, so I'm going upstairs to rest. Can you roast me a few eggtars later?" At first, Qiao Ruo didn't want the servants to notice her abnormality. She needed to hide as soon as possible to calm her emotions.

"Go on, auntie will make you some dessert later." Aunt Yu agreed.

Qiao Ruoxi quickly went upstairs, and once she entered the room, she locked herself in. She pulled the feathered curtains, creating a layer of hazy separation from the outside world.

She pulled out a small leather suitcase from under the bed and packed some clothes. She didn't have anything of special value, so it was good. Anyway, she was going to escape.

After she was done, she would write a letter to Feng Yaner, the daughter of the storekeeper Feng Yun of the Qiao Family's Silk City. Feng Yan Er was sixteen years old and was already engaged. She probably wouldn't be able to attend her wedding. If she was safe, she thought, she would send her a congratulatory gift.

After unfolding the paper, Qiao Ruo wrote a beginning, rolled it into a ball and threw it away. She then unrolled a piece of paper, wrote a few lines, felt that it was inappropriate and threw it away.

The matter regarding Wu Zhicheng was too difficult for her to explain. She wanted to tell Feng Yan Er, but she also didn't want to tell her, afraid that she would make a fool of herself.

In short, she decided to write everything down in one stroke. As for the details, it didn't seem like much, and she had never seen that old bastard before either.

Before she knew it, it was already late at night by the time she finished writing the letter. She could even faintly hear the ticking of the clock in the living room.

After a quick bath, she changed into a nightdress of pure cotton with tiny flower buds, ready to go to bed.

As soon as she lay down, the window frame suddenly shook. It was very light, and Qiao Ruoxi instinctively sat up and opened the mushroom shaped mahogany ceiling lamp.

A man stood by her window, looking at her coldly.

All the hair on her body stood on end. She did not dare to scream, afraid of being silenced.

In her terror, she saw a man's face, straight nose, starry eyes, red lips and red brows. He was dressed in a shirt and breeches, neatly tidied up. He didn't look like a fugitive.
