Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1056: Chapter 622: Escape

After encountering two more attacks, the car stopped in front of a quaint castle. The black man nodded to Luo Lian: ”Alright, you can get out now. The person who saved you is waiting for you here.”

”Thank you for escorting me.” Luo Lian glanced at the other person’s blood-stained arm, her eyes full of gratitude. ”You saved my life. Could you please tell me your name?”

”That won’t be necessary...” The man waved his hand. ”It’s my job. In other words, if there wasn’t enough compensation, I wouldn’t do it, understand?”

”Although you say that, if it weren’t for your life-risking rescue, I might have been lying dead outside. And, if there is a chance in the future, we might work together, right? Business isn’t something to be pushed away, is it?” Luo Lian persisted.

The man hesitated for a moment: ”Louis Bugi.”

”Mr. Buji, can you leave a phone number?” Luo Lian took advantage.

Buji frowned, took a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Luo Lian: ”Take it.”

”Thank you!” Luo Lian looked at him gratefully and then shifted the topic, ”I want to ask Mr. Buji, the task you were on before, is it considered complete now?”

Buji nodded: ”As long as I deliver you to the patron, my task is complete.”

Luo Lian blinked: ”Then, can I place a new order after your task is complete?”

”You...” Buji was speechless; it was really the first time he encountered such a thing, suddenly unsure of how to handle it.

”By doing this, you are not betraying the patron. Taking jobs and earning commissions is your work, isn’t it?” Luo Lian’s eyes showed anxiety. She glimpsed Monique approaching. If she couldn’t persuade Buji before he arrived, her hope of escaping would be nearly gone.

During the journey, she had thought about escaping, but Buji and the two other accomplices were too skilled, leaving her no chance. In addition, after two attacks, she understood that if she escaped without protection, she would still be doomed.

Therefore, racking her brain, she felt the only way was to hire Buji. His skills and personality were clear to her throughout the journey; his unique straightforwardness and stubbornness matched her temperament. If she could persuade him, she had hope of escaping!

”Sorry, I can’t agree to that.” Buji shook his head, opened the car door, nodding to her politely. ”Get out now.”

Luo Lian sat in the car motionless, resigned? She was unwilling.

With Monique’s personality, once she was in his hands, she’d no longer keep her innocence.

To end her life here, she was unwilling.

Her life now seemed sunny, and she didn’t want to leave.

Luoluo, Xing Nong, Yaoguang, Yanyan, Qiuqiu, Qing Zhu, Qiao Aimin, Old Sir Qiao, Old Madam Qiao... the dear family and friends she cared about flashed before her eyes.

She shook her head vigorously; no, she mustn’t die like this.

Now, she’s no longer alone, but how could she prevent Monique from caging her?

”Amy, I’ve missed you!” In the midst of her chaotic thoughts, Monique approached, disregarding everyone’s gaze, pulling her into his embrace, holding her tightly. ”Alright, don’t be afraid, no one will ever bully you again.

All those who targeted Amy won’t meet a good ending, I promise!” Seeing Luo Lian’s eyes unfocused and avoiding his gaze, Monique shook her gently. ”Amy, it’s me, Monique, your dearest brother...”

”Brother!” Luo Lian smiled sweetly, wrapping her arms around his. ”I knew, brother would surely come to save me.” She pointed at Buji while speaking, ”Brother must properly thank him. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have survived.”

Since Monique thought she was scared, she decided to cooperate.

Now, what she could do was to strive for benefits for Buji, hoping he would have a change of heart and serve her.

At this moment, as a weak young woman, she had no other choice; desperate measures seemed the only way.

Just noticing Buji, Monique nodded to him: ”Go collect the remaining money.”

”Thank you.” Buji responded neither humbly nor arrogantly and then turned and strode away.

Luo Lian hurriedly bowed her head, trying hard to hold back the tears from falling. Clearly, Monique had started to guard against the other person, otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent him away so quickly.

”You want to hire him, right?”

Monique’s voice suddenly echoed, cold and chilling. Luo Lian shuddered in fright, quickly denying, ”With brother here, why would I hire him? Brother, you’re really overthinking.”

”Really?” Monique’s lips curled slightly. In the sunlight, his skin appeared like fine porcelain, brows like dark jade. The dazzling brilliance was too intimidating to gaze at directly. Luo Lian paused, smiling bitterly inside, no wonder those sisters were so crazily infatuated with him. How many such men could there be in the world? If he were a woman, surely he would drive countless people into madness?

Or, having a child of his might not be bad... Luo Lian suddenly patted her head; why was she starting to think wildly? That would be irresponsible to herself and others! If Luoluo knew, she’d scold her again.

Thinking of Luo Ye, her heart sank with sadness; would they ever meet again in this life?

Luo Lian’s dazed expression made Monique very satisfied, as he wrapped his arm around her slender waist: ”Let’s go. This castle, I’ve spent eight months renovating it, and from now on, you will live here.”

”Okay.” Luo Lian answered distractedly, letting him hold her as they walked inside.

”Young Master!” Suddenly, a nearby attendant shouted and rushed over. Reflexively, Monique reached out to push the person away, and Luo Lian was caught off guard, falling to the ground with a ”thud.”

”Chirp! Chirp! Chirp...” Several bullets whistled as they hit the castle walls.

”FUAK!” Monique cursed, drawing his handgun and firing a few shots at a distant target. The nearby guards had already gathered around, enclosing Monique and Luo Lian in the center.

”Young Master, are you alright?” Johnny, the captain of the guards, hurried over to Monique, bowing repeatedly. ”I’m sorry, Young Master, I was negligent!”

”Take them all down!” Monique coldly stared into the distance. ”Leave none alive!”

”Yes!” Johnny hesitated, ”If it’s the eldest miss and miss...”

”The same!” Monique snorted coldly, ”Who are they to disrespect me?”

”Yes!” Johnny replied, leading a group of people towards the distance.

In the distance, Lisha and Alice looked regretful. Their chance was gone, and it would be hard to get rid of Luo Lian now. They were all too familiar with Monique’s suspicious and cautious nature. Earlier, they had only acted out during Monique’s excitement at seeing Luo Lian. Unfortunately...

”Sister, what do we do now? Johnny has already brought people over.” Alice said worriedly to Lisha, ”Will Monique...”

”He will!” Lisha replied displeasedly, glaring at Alice. ”After spending so much time with him, don’t you know his character?”

”What should we do then?” Alice’s eyes flickered anxiously, ”If he finds out our plan, even if we get rid of Amy, we won’t have him. Lisha, I don’t want to lose him, can’t lose him. Just now, his smile was so beautiful. One day, he’ll smile at me like that too, won’t he?”

”You...” Lisha looked at her sister in disappointment. ”Have you forgotten, it’s not just us dealing with Amy!”

Alice suddenly slapped her forehead: ”Look at me, so stupid!”

”Let’s go.” Lisha checked her watch, a smirk playing on her lips. ”Let her succeed, what difference does it make?”

Alice’s face twisted: ”I can’t accept this. He can only be ours!”

”Accept it or not, we must move. Let’s go.” Lisha pulled her, ”Johnny is coming, do you think Monique will give us a chance?”

”I really don’t understand, what’s so good about Amy? Since childhood, Monique only liked her, not us. In terms of looks, sister is a hundred times better than Amy. In terms of talent, I’m a hundred times better than her. No matter how you look at it, he shouldn’t choose her...”

”You’ve already complained about this more than once, can you stop mentioning it?” Lisha was annoyed by Alice’s repetition; she truly felt like slapping her sister to death.

”Fine, I won’t say it anymore. I’m just upset.” Alice sighed lightly, hesitated, and looked at Lisha. ”One thing I don’t quite understand, we could completely avoid abducting her. Why are you insisting on this, sister?”

”You pighead, Johnny is coming after us, and you still have time to ask this?” Lisha let go of her, ”Forget it, life or death, make your own choice.” She waved to the bodyguards as she spoke, ”Retreat!”

”Wait for me!” Alice shouted, chasing after her. ”Sister, didn’t we agree, in this life, I’ll always follow you!”

”Fool!” Lisha muttered, quickening her pace, disregarding Alice.

This sister, she’s truly fed up with her, always dragging her feet. If it wasn’t for her constantly provoking Monique and making him suspicious, things wouldn’t have reached this point.

Originally, she thought having an ally was better than having an enemy, so she kept pulling her along. But now, she realized her thinking was wrong.

She should’ve discarded her earlier.

What, she’s a hundred times more beautiful than Amy, a hundred times more talented?

In terms of talent, Lisha considers herself not worse than Alice, she just never wanted to waste time on it.

That fool!

Not to mention Lisha complaining while escaping, Alice who fell behind panicked as she saw her sister really wasn’t caring about her.

When people panic, they’re prone to making mistakes, especially someone like her, used to relying on others. Suddenly being left alone, feeling at a loss, then unsteady footing, she fell flat on the ground like a dog eating dirt.

And just as misfortune would have it, Johnny and his team arrived at her side.
