Chapter 38: Saved by Him Again

Wuu…

Qingqing’s mouth was bleeding. She wanted to protect Wang Baochuan, but her body ached so badly that she couldn’t move at all.

Wang Baochuan’s vision was starting to blur. She gradually saw Wei Bao in front of her as someone else, like Xue Pinggui, or… the white benefactor.

She mumbled, “White benefactor.”

Wei Bao was even more furious when he heard her voice. He didn’t bother waiting for anyone else to come. He immediately went forward and pressed her down, reaching out to untie the ropes on her body, and was about to take off her clothes.

Wang Baochuan pinched her palm tightly, causing it to bleed, which brought her back to her senses.

“Wei Bao! You will regret this!”

“I will definitely not let you go!”

Wei Bao laughed darkly, “When you become mine, I won’t be afraid of you not letting me go…”

Wang Baochuan started to get confused again. She was in agony, wishing she could jump into the water to clear her head.

In her daze, she seemed to see someone. The person stepped on a tree trunk to gain momentum and jumped over.

Then there was a sound of fighting in the forest. Wei Bao was taking off his clothes when he was startled.

“You! Who are you?”

The person didn’t answer him. Wang Baochuan even heard Qingqing’s voice, “Save my mistress!”

Then she was held in someone’s arms and lifted up. The person was wearing a nightgown. He had a refreshing and familiar scent, which made Wang Baochuan feel very safe.

Wei Bao went forward to grab her, but he was knocked to the ground.

Wang Baochuan bit her tongue to wake herself up. The man in black was about to kill Wei Bao with his own hands, but Wang Baochuan grabbed the dagger from his waist and was about to kill Wei Bao.

She was unsteady on her feet, and the man in black seemed to not want her to get blood on her hands, so he stopped her.

“Third Miss, don’t look.” He blocked Wang Baochuan’s view with his body, then raised his sword and stabbed Wei Bao to death.

Wei Bao looked at himself dying under the sword of a stranger, and until his death, he didn’t understand where this man came from. He had clearly avoided the secret guards arranged by Su Long and had also sent away all the guards. Even if his elder brother, Wei Hu, was still in the forest, how could this person appear!

He widened his eyes, his eyeballs almost popping out. He pointed at the man in black with his dying breath, his mouth full of blood, and fell to the ground.

The man carried Wang Baochuan away. After his attendants drove away Wei Hu, Bai Zheng immediately came over to untie the ropes on Qingqing.

Qingqing was injured and couldn’t stand up, so he didn’t hesitate to carry her away.

Soon after they left, Su Long arrived with a large group of people, but they were empty-handed. He only saw Wei Bao lying in a pool of blood, his clothes disheveled.

The man carried Wang Baochuan. Wang Baochuan moved around in his arms like a cat, very restless.

He took Wang Baochuan’s pulse and found that she had been drugged. With no other choice, he wrapped Wang Baochuan in an outer robe and threw her in the snow.

Wang Baochuan was in a daze, feeling like she was in a snow cave.

The strange feeling on her body gradually subsided. Her eyelids felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. She tried to open her eyes to see the person who saved her, but the figure was blurry and indistinct.

“Master, Su Long has arrived with his men.” Bai Zheng reminded him.

He glanced at Wang Baochuan lying in the snow, then turned and left.

Before leaving, Bai Zheng looked at Qingqing, “Miss, I apologize.”

He raised his hand and struck Qingqing unconscious with a palm.

Qingqing didn’t even have time to say, “Don’t do it, I can pretend to be unconscious.”

As soon as they left, Su Long arrived with his men and brought Wang Baochuan and Qingqing back to the camp.

When Wang Baochuan woke up, it was noon the next day. Wang Yun and Su Long were guarding her bedside.

Su Long told her that Wei Bao was dead, in front of the cave, his clothes disheveled, stabbed to death.

Because Su Long was present, Wang Baochuan could only pretend to be unaware and deliberately asked, “Do you know who did it?”

“It must be the remnants of Xiliang. Wei Bao went to save you, but he was ambushed.” Su Long’s face was unnatural.

They knew that if they went to rescue people and encountered the remnants of the Xiliang army, it would definitely be a bloody battle. If it was a bloody battle, Wei Bao should have multiple wounds. How could he have been killed with a single sword, and his clothes were disheveled?

He was clearly trying to do something wrong and was killed.

Wei Hu couldn’t believe that his younger brother had died outside Jincheng. He led his men to search for the murderer, turning over the nearby mountains and villages, but they couldn’t find any clues.

After Su Long left, Wang Yun asked her, “Do you know how Wei Bao died?”

Wang Baochuan confessed, “They set the fire in the camp, and I was kidnapped by Wei Bao.”

“His death was because he wanted to molest me. I pretended to comply and stabbed him with his own sword.”

As she said this, her eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty coldness, like the Yama of hell.

Wang Yun trembled, “You… you said you killed him?”

“Yes.”

“So, Father, please persuade Wei Hu not to investigate anymore. Even if he investigates, he won’t find the murderer. In fact, if he keeps going like this, it will ruin the reputations of both Wei Bao and me.” Wang Baochuan said calmly and composedly.

She thought about that moment. Even if that person hadn’t appeared in time, she would have fought Wei Bao to the death!

Since the white benefactor had killed Wei Bao and saved her, she couldn’t tell the truth, lest he be targeted by Wei Hu.

“Father understands.” Wang Yun clenched his fist. He didn’t expect Wei Bao to be so reckless.

“Father!” Wang Baochuan reminded him, “When the incident happened, did you only see Brother-in-law, and didn’t see where Wei Hu was?”

“Hmm.” Wang Yun thought for a moment, “Wei Hu said he heard the commotion and went to chase the assassins.”

“Heh, when Wei Bao wanted to molest me, he was standing in the forest, so of course you couldn’t see him.”
