Capítulo 1676: Chapter 1676: Close Call

“Miss Su, I am here at the order of the Family Head to take you to meet him.” The man didn’t answer Su Yunjin’s question. Instead, he bowed slightly as he looked at her. “Could Miss Su kindly accompany me?” Although the man was asking Su Yunjin, he had no intention of listening to her decision. His words were merely to inform her of his purpose. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel★fire.net

Su Yunjin stared at the man before her. Among those she knew, only people from the Prince Qi Residence and the Chu King had such skilled subordinates. If someone from the Prince Qi Residence wanted to find her, they definitely wouldn’t use such underhanded methods, nor would they knock Aunt Bao unconscious. The only explanation was Chu King.

The man in front of her was surely a subordinate of Chu King.

Her guess was confirmed.

Su Yunjin looked at the man and asked, “Are you one of Chu King’s men?”

The man didn’t deny it.

“Miss Su, I’m just following orders.” As he spoke, the man suddenly grabbed Su Yunjin’s wrist, preparing to take her over the wall. “Miss Su, forgive me.” As her feet left the ground, Su Yunjin was lifted up by the man’s grip. Little Yuanbao and Little Tiangua still needed her care.

She couldn’t let someone from Chu King abduct her.

Although Su Yunjin didn’t know martial arts, she was certain the man before her was highly skilled. Because of Leng Jingxian’s situation, Gu Ya specifically arranged more than twenty competent men outside the Gu Family courtyard to protect her. However, those men were too far away now, and Su Yunjin thought that if she tried calling them, they might not be able to stop this man.

Her mind spun quickly.

Su Yunjin swiftly pulled out the hairpin from her head and instantly stabbed it into the acupoint on the man’s shoulder. His body weakened, and the man, shocked by Su Yunjin’s acupoint-seeking ability, fell back. Su Yunjin again jabbed the man’s acupoint with the hairpin, and this time he couldn’t maintain his hold, causing both him and Su Yunjin to fall from mid-air.

Fortunately, the man’s martial skills were not lacking. As he fell, he managed to stabilize himself without a chaotic fall. After steadying herself, Su Yunjin took the opportunity to push the man away and noticed that the door was right beside her. While opening the door, she shouted for help. Hearing her cries, those waiting outside the door rushed in immediately.

“Madam, what’s wrong?” The first person to arrive was Xue Chu. He was arranged by Gu Ya two days ago, who told her Xue Chu had the most advanced martial skills and was the quickest. With him around, Su Yunjin was assured of protection and instructed to seek him out if she encountered danger or any problems.

Su Yunjin hurriedly hid behind Xue Chu, still shaken. “I’m fine, nothing happened. That man in black tried to abduct me. Quickly, stop him!” She pointed at the man in the courtyard. Xue Chu looked over and saw the man in black had already leapt onto the wall and disappeared.

Su Yunjin peeked out and also found that the man was gone from the courtyard. Xue Chu turned back to her, “Madam, that man has escaped.”

“Madam, should we chase after him?” everyone immediately asked.

Su Yunjin looked in the direction he had fled. Before she could speak, Xue Chu calmly said, “That man is skilled in martial arts. If we chase him now, we won’t catch up.”

“Then there’s no need to chase,” Su Yunjin said, relieved, as she waved her hand.

She had almost been captured by Chu King’s men just now.
