Chapter 250 Escape
Chapter 250 Escape
However, the thought of seeing Ye Jingke soon made Cheng Ai's unease disappear.
Liao Yunqing, waiting anxiously outside the door, asked, "Xiao Ai, are you done washing up?"
After receiving no response, he knocked on the door. "My dad just came out to urge me. You don't know how to do your hair, do you need me to help you?"
"Can't you hear me?" Liao Yunqing frowned and increased the force of her knocking. "Xiao Ai, put your clothes on, I'm coming in."
After saying that, he grabbed the doorknob and tried to turn it, but couldn't open it.
Liao Yunqing sensed something was wrong and quickly kicked the door open. Seeing the window wide open, he rushed over.
"Xiao Ai, what are you doing?" He grabbed the rope and pulled hard. "We can talk things over. Don't do something so dangerous!"
Seeing herself getting further and further away from the ground, Cheng Ai gritted her teeth and suddenly let go.
She tried to maintain her balance, but her feet slipped and she fell the moment she landed.
Liao Yunqing, who had stumbled back two steps due to inertia, ran back and happened to see this scene. She was heartbroken and cried out, "Xiao Ai, don't go! I'll come down and find you!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran out of the room.
Hearing the noise, Liao Chengming and Liao Yunyan opened the door, but before they could even speak, no one was there.
The ground was covered with half-melted snow, and Cheng Ai struggled for a long time before she was able to stand up.
Her hands and knees were cut, and her newly changed clothes were filthy.
Fearing that the Liao family would catch up, she quickly chose a side path and slipped and wobbled away.
When Liao Yunqing arrived, he didn't see anyone and was immediately disappointed.
Xiao Ai, even if you can't use your magic, you still want to jump off the building to find Ye Jingke and be with me. Are you really that unwilling?
He walked around the hotel for a while before returning the way he came, looking distracted. The Liao father and daughter both knew that Cheng Ai was missing. Liao Chengming grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Where is Miss Cheng?"
Liao Yunqing pursed her lips and drooped her head. "I'm leaving."
"Then hurry up and go find her!" Liao Chengming stomped his feet in anger. "Your mother is waiting to be saved; we can't let her get away like this!"
"That's right!" Liao Yunyan's face darkened, her fists clenched. "We finally managed to get Cheng Ai here. If we let her go so easily, wouldn't all our efforts have been for nothing?"
She glared fiercely at Liao Yunqing, then quickly went to the front desk to borrow a phone, intending to ask the Taoist priest for help.
"Yunqing, which way did Miss Cheng run off to?" Liao Chengming took out his walkie-talkie. "I brought more than twenty bodyguards with me. We should still be able to catch up now."
Liao Yunqing gently shook his head, slowly walked into the room, lay down on the bed where Cheng Aizeng had lain all night, and fell into a deep sleep.
The powder in the glass bottle made Cheng Ai drowsy, and he watched her sleep for as long as she did.
Liao Yunqing slept very restlessly. In his dream, Cheng Ai rushed over and plunged a peach wood sword into his chest, splattering blood everywhere.
"Xiao Ai!"
He woke up with a start, his forehead covered in beads of sweat. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was three in the morning.
In this freezing cold, Xiao Ai has probably already been rescued by Ye Jingke, right?
Liao Yun washed her face, rubbed her sore nose, and walked out of the room.
Liao Chengming was yelling at his bodyguards, while Liao Yunyan stood silently to the side.
Liao Yunqing walked over with a puzzled look, and asked knowingly, "What? Haven't you found Xiao Ai yet?"
Liao Yunyan turned her head away, too lazy to pay him any attention.
For an entire day, that so-called Taoist Master Xuantian didn't find Cheng Ai's figure. He's utterly useless!
Damn it! The whole plan is ruined!
Since Ye Jingke's path was blocked, he had no choice but to shift his focus and settle for Lü Hanmo.
Liao Chengming dismissed the bodyguards, then turned and slapped Liao Yunqing across the face. "Look what you've done! Tell me, did you deliberately let Cheng Ai go, or did she escape?"
Liao Yunqing covered her face and remained silent, lowering her eyes like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
No matter how fast a girl moves, she can't outrun a man.
If he follows the footprints in the morning, he can indeed catch up with them.
But instead of doing that, he left a bunch of his own footprints, making it harder for the bodyguards to find him.
Asking Cheng Ai to come and treat her mother's illness was fine, but Liao Yunqing disagreed with Liao Yunyan's approach because it was too extreme.
Unfortunately, Ye Jingke's hostile gaze was too intense back then, so he impulsively carried the person away.
Looking back now, it was incredibly foolish.
After spending several hours with Cheng Ai, Liao Yunqing had figured out her personality.
If he sincerely apologizes and pleads with kind words, there is a very high chance that the other party will save his mother's life.
However, all of this was ruined by Liao Yunyan. Her arbitrary actions caused the Liao and Ye families to fall apart completely!
Liao Yunqing doesn't blame anyone but himself for indulging his younger sister, which led to the current situation.
He pursed his lips, his voice muffled, "Dad, apologize to Jingke, and sincerely invite Xiao Ai back. They won't stand idly by when Mom is in trouble."
Liao Yunyan was shocked, not understanding why Liao Yunqing had suddenly turned against her. "We've offended Brother Ke and Cheng Ai, how could they possibly save Mom?"
Liao Yunqing confidently stated, "Hanmo once told me about his situation. It caused quite a stir at the time, but Xiao Ai still helped Xiaolin maintain her pregnancy."
Liao Chengming frowned, seemingly deep in thought, but Liao Yunyan raised a crucial question, "Big brother, don't forget, Cheng Ai can't use her mystical arts right now, how can she save Mom?"
Liao Yunqing stared at her intently. "So, do you have the antidote?"
Liao Yunyan was taken aback and shook her head repeatedly, "No, the Taoist priest didn't give it to me."
"A Taoist priest?" Liao Chengming's eyes lit up. "My dear, you've found a highly accomplished Taoist master who can also draw talismans?"
Liao Yunyan had mentioned that he had just casually heard about it, but he never expected it to actually be true!
Liao Yunqing remained silent, serving as a background figure.
Liao Yunyan's eyes darted around guiltily, "I did find one, but her strength is no match for Cheng Ai's."
Liao Yunqing nodded in agreement. If he hadn't used the glass bottle powder to ambush Cheng Ai, the old man would definitely have been beaten to a pulp.
Now that a second candidate had been chosen, Liao Chengming decided not to dwell on Cheng Ai any longer. "Yunqing, you explain to Jingke. Yunyan, go and invite the Taoist priest over."
Liao Yunyan reluctantly agreed, while Liao Yunqing returned to his room and took out his phone.
The moment the phone is turned on, countless missed calls, WeChat messages, and text messages appear on the screen.
He didn't have time to look. He opened his contacts, found Ye Jingke's name, and before he could dial, the phone rang.
Liao Yunqing closed his eyes briefly, as if making a decision, and answered the call, "Jingke."
"Where are you? Let Ai Ai answer the phone!"
Ye Jingke's voice sounded very hoarse and irritable, but Liao Yunqing was taken aback. "You still haven't found Xiao Ai?"
Fearing he would waste time, he quickly gave out the address.
Within two seconds, Ye Jingke arrived via teleportation.
He punched Liao Yunqing first, then looked around and observed.
