The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 996

Chapter 996: Chapter 836, Hostage

After learning about the crisis at the Duke Residence, Xiao Yechi instantly realized he was already being targeted. He felt fortunate that he had been cautious during the meeting and hadn’t gone directly to see the old Duke. Otherwise, he feared he might have been surrounded by the Jinling Guard by now.

However, his situation wasn’t looking optimistic either. He needed to hurry and leave the city; getting trapped within its walls was not an option. Once the Jinling Guard discovered his whereabouts and ordered the city gates shut, escaping would become difficult.

Xiao Yechi looked at the disheveled and haggard Luo Qiong, hesitated for a moment at the sight of her bulging belly, but ultimately decided to take her with him.

"Hurry and pack, I’ll take you away from here."

Hearing these words, Luo Qiong’s eyes suddenly brightened. She had always known that men like Xiao Yechi, tasked with great responsibilities, rarely dwelled on romantic affairs. At the first sign of trouble, she had prepared herself to be abandoned.

Yet now, hearing that Xiao Yechi intended to take her with him, she truly felt surprised and moved, believing her past decisions had been worth it.

Luo Qiong held back her tears and quickly turned to gather her things.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yechi glanced at Xiao Yechen, who had fainted on the ground. He thought for a moment, then took a chest from inside the house and shoved the unconscious man into it.

When Luo Qiong saw this, she thought of what Xiao Yechen had said about dealing with the child in her womb and said fiercely, "Big Brother Chi, just kill Xiao Yechen."

Previously, keeping him alive was to vie for the title within the Prince Residence. But now, since he was aware of her and Big Brother Chi’s affair, there was no point in keeping him any longer.

Xiao Yechi didn’t pay attention to Luo Qiong but simply said, "Let’s spare his life for now. He might prove useful later, and after all, he is the son of a Prince."

At this, Luo Qiong pondered, then, without further discussion, went behind the screen to change into a clean set of clothes. When she came out, dressed, the sight of ’Xiao Yechen’ standing at the vanity gave her a shock.

’Xiao Yechen’ gave Luo Qiong a smile, "I had this human skin mask prepared for our private meetings. Unfortunately, I’ve never found the opportunity to use it. Today, it finally comes into play."

"The Prince Residence is heavily guarded, and it took considerable effort just to get in. It won’t be easy to secretly take you away, so I will just have to escort you out openly."

Luo Qiong stepped forward and scrutinized ’Xiao Yechen’ for a while, "The mask is quite convincing, but... Xiao Yechen’s eyes lack the sharpness of yours, Big Brother Chi, and he doesn’t carry the same commanding presence."
