Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 133
Chapter 133 Was Lu Jinye Here
Those words made every inch of muscle in Mu Zhi’s body stiffen up. She gawked at Zhang Baiyan in
disbelief.
“Don’t do anything stupid!”
“It’s not my choice to do something stupid, but Lu Jinye isn’ting to your rescue. Freeing you isn’t
going to help me. So, I could only take your life!”
Zhang Baiyan proimed boldly. He stared at Mu Zhi silently. Murderous intents were glittering in his
cold eyes. He lighted up a cigarette, casually taking a puff.
The deafening silence was frightening.
Mu Zhi locked her eyes on the cigarette that was slowly being consumed in Zhang Baiyan’s fingers, as
though a countdown timer to the end of her life.
Her hands started shuddering involuntarily.
She was desperately fighting to untie the rope, struggling unremittingly.
Next to her, Xiaomu was sleeping feebly.
“Zhang Baiyan! I’m warning you, don’t be reckless!”
Mu Zhi bellowed at Zhang Baiyan brutally. But he hardly flinched, “Don’t me me. It’s all your fault
that you’re not important enough in Lu Jinye’s eyes!”
Upon finishing his remark, Zhang Baiyan gradually stood to his feet and trudged towards Mu Zhi.
The cigarette in between his fingers was almost finished. He threw his gaze past Mu Zhi, at the bush
behind her, and flicked the cigarette butt into the bush.
“Go, now!”
Then, Zhang Baiyan shouted at his subordinate before scrambling to flee the area.
A cloud of dense smoke started forming behind Mu Zhi. There was no fire at this point.
Mu Zhi started panicking. She fought ferociously to free herself. The friction between her skin and the
thick, coarse rope brought stinging grazes covering her wrists.
Despite that, she showed no sign of giving up.
She must not die! She cannot die like that!
Despair had dawned on her. She knew that she could notpare to Xiao Qingqing. Thus, she must
not put her hopes on Lu Jinye. But disappointment and sorrow still came to her when things had
unfolded.
She thought she was connected to Lu Jinye telepathically, and Lu Jinye told her that he woulde to
her rescue!
However, he changed course at the eleventh hour. What hope he gave her had shattered into millions
of pieces.
The more Mu Zhi thought about it, the more infuriated and exasperated she was. She did not dare to
stop struggling as she could start to sense the warmthing from behind her.
Turning around, Mu Zhi was shocked to see the initial ck smoke transitioning into zing fires!
The rope was dyed in crimson red from her blood. But Mu Zhi could not be bothered at this stage.
Finally! She managed to free her hands from the rope. Without hesitation, she pounced at Mu Xiaomu,
and carried her!
Mu Xiaomu remained unconscious.
The entire warehouse was littered with dried weeds, catalyzing the growth of the fire.
Mu Zhi did not have the time to untie Mu Xiaomu. She picked Mu Xiaomu, along with the chair, and
bolted.
The wild mes behind her seemed to havee alive, chasing after her like a predator. She kept
running, could not for a second to be distracted by the sweeping inferno.
The unruly fire walloped a corner of the warehouse, ascending quickly to the ceiling.
It only took seconds for the roof of the warehouse to copse.
Mu Zhi barely managed to dive out of the warehouse within fractions of a second before it copsed.
Losing control of her bnce, Mu Xiaomu slipped from her arm and was sent flying in the air,nding
ahead of her. Mu Zhi turned to nce at the sea of mad fire behind her, and looked at Mu Xiaomu in
front, then scrambled to get on her feet anxiously.
However, at this moment, she realized that her hands were no longer responsive. She was too
exhausted to even stagger to bnce.
“Mama…”
Mu Xiaomu woke up from the impact and started sobbing meekly.
Looking at Mu Xiaomu broke Mu Zhi’s heart.
She was remorseful, yet powerless.
She had tried her hardest, but to no avail, failing to even push herself off the ground with both arms.
Thus, Mu Zhi resorted to inch forward, bit by bit.
At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz S ss came to a halt at afar. A few men hurriedly dashed towards
her.
Unexpectedly, the first man who came to her rescue was Shen Mobo.
Followed by Liang Yunzhan, Xu Se, and Wang Yilun.
Lu Jinye was nowhere to be found!
“Are you alright?”
Shen Mobo was the first to arrive. He nced at Mu Zhi, then lifted her off the ground, closing into her
ears, whispering, “Jinye is on his way to Qingqing, he told us toe for you.”
Liang Yunzhan and Xu Se promptly freed Mu Xiaomu from the chair, and swiftly carried her.
Seeing Mu Xiaomu in Liang Yunzhan’s arms, Mu Zhi finally gave in, and slowly closed her eyes!
The next time she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by whiteness, apanied by an offensive
scent of disinfectant.
Mu Zhi jumped to her seat, nning to get off the bed, “Where’s Xiaomu?”
In this instance, she realized that one of her hands was covered in a ster cast, while the other was
heavily wrapped in a bandage.
“Don’t worry, Xiaomu is asleep.”
Jian Xiaoning came into the ward promptly.
Following closely was Xu Se, who said, “Good that you’re fine. I can now report back to Jinye.”
Jian Xiaoning paid no attention to him. She approached Mu Zhi right away, saying, “You have a
comminuted fracture on your right arm from the impact of the fall. Xiaomu is in the children’s ward right
now. Everything is normal. I almost wet my pants when I found out that you were sent to the hospital.
How did you hurt yourself, getting blood over yourself?”
“I thought you jumped off a building, but was relieved to know that… You didn’t slit your wrist.”
Jian Xiaoning teased Mu Zhi with a witty remark.
Mu Zhi was not in the mood to joke. After ascertaining that Mu Xiaomu was fine, she was finally
relieved. However, she insisted, “Help me up, I need to see Xiaomu.”

Jian Xiaoning assisted Mu Zhi to her feet, and slowly supported her to the children’s ward. Mu Xiaomu
was sound asleep in this instance. Mu Zhi did not disturb her, merely watching her before she could
settle.
Mu Zhi then looked at Jian Xiaoning, and said reluctantly, “How long have I been out for?”
“24 hours.”
“Has Lu Jinye visited?”
Mu Zhi quickly noticed the troubled expression on Jian Xiaoning’s face when she remained silent.
“Got it.”
It dawned on her before Jian Xiaoning could exin. Lu Jinye did not visit at all.
His absence was the reason Jian Xiaoning was troubled.
“He might’ve been busy.”
Jian Xiaoning could sense the disappointment from Mu Zhi, so she pointed out to her involuntarily.
Mu Zhi only let out a faint smile, “Of course he is. How could he not be busy when he’s with Xiao
Qingqing?”
Everything rted to Xiao Qingqing must be important!
She did not me Lu Jinye at all. She did not hate him one bit as well.
She hated herself.
She hated herself for almost killing Xiaomu due to her foolishness.
