Chapter 230: Saving Them

Shao Qihai had better skills and quickly gained the upper hand.

“Stop!” The shout was timely, but he was a step too late. Shao Qihai had already knocked him out.

“No!” Mu Jingzhe, who was a step behind, also saw Shao Dong and Shao Nan, who were suspended high in the sky. Shao Nan and Shao Dong were tied together with their heads facing down.

The person who had shouted for them to stop was the kidnapper’s accomplice. He was standing not far away. His clothing was similar to that of the person Shao Qihai had knocked out. He was wearing a wool hat with three holes dug out that often appeared in television dramas and revealed only a pair of eyes and a mouth.

Seeing that his companion had fainted, he cursed. “You’re quite capable since you found this place. However, since you’re not standing on ceremony, I’ll give you a big gift.”

Mu Jingzhe had a bad premonition. That kidnapper pointed at his own head and said, “I’ll show you what a blooming head is!”

After saying that, he reached out toward the window, where a rope was tied, and untied the rope.

Mu Jingzhe looked at the rope and then at Shao Dong and Shao Nan, who were suspended high in the air. How could she not understand? This fellow was planning to make Shao Dong and Shao Nan fall to their deaths.

Shao Dong and Shao Nan’s heads were facing down. Furthermore, the church was a very tall building. If they fell head-down from such a height, what would their chance of survival be?

“No!” Mu Jingzhe screamed. However, her scream was useless. Seeing that the kidnapper had released the rope, Mu Jingzhe gritted her teeth and threw the rock at him as she ran.

Even the heavens were on Mu Jingzhe’s side and helped her. The rock struck the kidnapper’s head and he fell back with a thud.

However, the moment he fell, the rope in his hand was pulled down.

The instant the rope was let go, it glided upward and Shao Dong and Shao Nan fell straight down.

“No!” Shao Qihai’s eyes were about to split open. He rushed forward with all his might, but he was still a step too late. He watched helplessly as Shao Dong and Shao Nan speedily fell to the ground.

Shao Dong and Shao Nan both had their mouths gagged like they had in the photo. Probably because they were suspended in the air, at that moment, they couldn’t remember anything. They didn’t know what it would feel like to have their heads hit the ground either. They only hoped that it wouldn’t be too scary and it wouldn’t scare their mother or Shao Qihai.

Everything happened too quickly. Just as they were about to hit the ground, Shao Dong and Shao Nan couldn’t help but close their eyes. However, the pain didn’t come for a long time. Furthermore, they seemed to have stopped.

Shao Dong and Shao Nan opened their eyes and realized that they were only a few centimeters away from the ground. However, they’d really stopped.

Shao Dong and Shao Nan looked at each other in disbelief. Shao Qihai hadn’t expected such a miracle to happen either. They looked to the side and saw Mu Jingzhe gripping the rope tightly.

It turned out that Mu Jingzhe had rushed over at the last moment to grab the rope.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t know how she had run over. She had never known that she could run so fast, but in the end, she had actually managed to sprint over and grab the rope.

“Quick, untie them.” Mu Jingzhe’s heart had suffered quite a great agitation. Seeing that they weren’t moving, she hurriedly urged Shao Qihai.

He reacted and quickly set Shao Dong and Shao Nan down before untying the rope. When Mu Jingzhe saw that Shao Dong and Shao Nan had landed safely, her legs went limp and she fell to her knees.

Maybe she was frightened, or maybe she had just broken her speed limit, but she didn’t have any strength left in her body.

She was very worried about Shao Dong and Shao Nan, but she didn’t have the strength to crawl over.

“Little Dong, Little Nan, are you guys alright?”

“We’re fine. Mommy, what about you?” Shao Dong and Shao Nan immediately replied. Their legs were also a little weak, but they wanted to go over and look at Mu Jingzhe.

“I’m fine too. Don’t come over yet. I’ll take a look at this kidnapper first. I’ll come over after that.”

Mu Jingzhe propped herself up, wanting to check on the kidnapper she had hit to confirm they were safe. However, she froze in shock at what she saw.

There was blood all over the kidnapper’s face and head, and there was even blood flowing from the back of his head.

This scene was very similar to some scenes in television and movies, and a person who was bleeding so profusely seemed to always end up dead.

Mu Jingzhe had used a lot of force previously because she had been really anxious and angry. However, she hadn’t expected it to be so powerful. When she saw this, her heart instantly sank.

Although the kidnapper wasn’t a good person, Mu Jingzhe hadn’t expected to kill him.

She looked away in a panic, and her abnormal silence attracted Shao Qihai’s attention. “What’s wrong?”

“I think he’s dying. He’s bleeding a lot. I… I’ll check if he’s still breathing.”

Shao Qihai was stunned when he heard that. He quickly covered Shao Dong and Shao Nan’s eyes and said, “Don’t move. I’ll go over and take a look.”

He was used to seeing such scenes, but Mu Jingzhe wasn’t.

“Little Dong, don’t move.” Shao Qihai stood up. “Don’t look yet. It’s not your fault even if he’s dead.”

Shao Qihai had only taken two steps when he heard a creaking sound. He looked up and saw the glass wall adorned with crosses on the roof. It suddenly fell down, accompanied by the kidnapper’s shout. “Now you can all die together!”

At that moment, Shao Qihai knew. While they had been busy saving Shao Dong and Shao Nan and speaking to each other, the kidnapper he had knocked out had woken up.

Furthermore, the kidnappers had a backup plan. The abandoned cathedral was already dilapidated, and the roof was leaking. They had hung the glass wall in front of the cross over the hole in the roof, solving the problem of the leak.

In addition to solving this problem, this could also resolve future trouble in case of an emergency.

When the kidnapper had seen the state of his companion and heard Mu Jingzhe’s words, he had been unwilling to escape and had decided to avenge his partner in crime.

It would be best if he killed Mu Jingzhe, but if he failed, he could kill the two children who should have died and use their lives as an offering to his dead brother. That would also be considered revenge and would make Mu Jingzhe feel miserable for the rest of her life.

Mu Jingzhe, Shao Dong, Shao Nan, and Shao Qihai saw the falling glass. “Be careful!”

Mu Jingzhe wanted to save them, but this time, it was impossible unless she could fly. Alas, she couldn’t fly.

Shao Dong and Shao Nan knew that they should run, but because they were still feeling discomfort after being suspended, they were sitting on the ground. There was no time for them to run. At the last moment, Shao Dong only had time to reach out and hug Shao Nan to protect him.

Amid Mu Jingzhe’s heart-wrenching screams, Shao Dong apologized in his heart and closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to arrive.

When the final bang came, it was very loud. However, there was no pain coming from his body for a long time. He didn’t even feel anything. He only sensed warmth and smelled a familiar scent.

It was a smell that only belonged to Shao Qihai. Shao Dong remembered it very clearly.

Shao Dong raised his head and saw Shao Qihai, who was firmly protecting him. While he was protecting Shao Nan, Shao Qihai protected him.

For some reason, Shao Dong’s mind was blank. For a moment, he couldn’t remember anything, nor could he say a word.

“Big Brother, Big Brother!” Shao Nan hadn’t expected Shao Dong to protect him either. Before he could react, Shao Dong had already shielded him.

Seeing that it was quiet, Shao Nan quickly broke free and looked over. When he saw Shao Qihai, he was also stunned.

Shao Qihai’s expression was a little strange. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Are you guys alright?”

His voice was low, as if he was enduring something.

Shao Dong wanted to say that he was fine, but his throat was blocked. He didn’t even dare open his mouth, afraid that sobs would come out.
