Good. Are we finally going back?
Long Heng, you have to take good care of our son. Don't even think about life or death. Otherwise, she won't let him off.
She had the urge to close her eyes as she thought about this.
But for some reason, she didn't want to admit defeat in front of this man. She stared at him without blinking, a disdainful smirk on her face.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"
Commander Lu had never seen anyone who claimed to be afraid but still acted as if they were afraid. He was taken aback. Then, he smiled. "Do you really know how to be afraid?
But I don't think you're afraid enough. Why don't I find a way to show you what true fear is? "
"There's no need for that. Why waste everyone's time?
I don't have any secrets that you want to know. Why don't you just kill me and avenge your Grand Tutor? "
"Why would I avenge him?
You, on the other hand, are a beauty. A beauty is always more useful than a dead person. For example, you can make someone's dream about you. "
After he finished speaking, he reached out to grab Bai Xiangxiu's chin and lifted it up.
Although she was in a sorry state, she was still stunningly beautiful. No man would be able to take their eyes off her.
Who would dare to do such a dangerous thing for a woman like her?
"You've killed my family. Who else would dream about me? You must be joking, General."
Bai Xiangxiu remained calm. She had made up her mind not to reveal her relationship with Long Heng. Otherwise, they would use her to threaten Long Heng on the battlefield. What would he do then?
One was the woman he loved, and the other was his family in the capital. He would probably die of a broken heart!
"Oh?"
Commander Lu didn't trust this woman, but he couldn't seem to get an answer out of her.
Just as the two of them were trying to figure out how to deal with this woman, a shrill and hoarse voice came from outside. "Commander Lu, General Lu, please return my child to me. He's not … not Duan Yunying's child."
No way. After hearing this voice, Bai Xiangxiu trembled all over. Why was the female lead here?
Who could tell her what went wrong? Didn't she marry into the Ji family in the capital and live a peaceful life? Why was she suddenly brought to the enemy's camp?
And from what she said, her child had been stolen. Why did the enemy steal her son? Could it be because the child was Duan Yunying's son?
Not long after, the female lead rushed in.
Although she had been abused in all sorts of ways, she did not look old at all. She still looked like a white lotus.
Sure enough, the female lead was different!
Bai Xiangxiu was shocked. She had recently been recognized by the female lead.
Then, he immediately lowered his head and tried his best to minimize his presence.
"This is not a place you can come to. Get out."
Commander Lu frowned and glanced at Lin Qianzi. If he hadn't heard that she was willing to avenge his second brother after his death, he would have snatched the child back and killed her long ago.
Obviously, she had admitted that the child was Duan Yunying's when she was at her husband's house. But in the blink of an eye, she claimed that the child was not his.
Who else could it be? Could it be that pugilist's child?
He felt disgusted at the thought. If he hadn't wanted to leave an heir for his second brother, he wouldn't have bothered to bring them back.
In the end, she always caused trouble at any time. It was really annoying.
If it had been in the past, he would have tolerated it. But now, the State Preceptor had been assassinated, and he heard that someone had broken into the city. He wondered if this had anything to do with Li Of Gojoseon.
"Men, take the madam back. Don't let her come out again."
"Give me back my child! Give me back my child! He's still so young. Why did you take him away?"
"If you want him to live, you'd better behave yourself. Otherwise, I don't know what I'll do."
"No, don't hurt him. My child is very obedient."
Lin Qianzi was really scared. She immediately became obedient, but she said, "Can you let me see him just once? Just once."
"Men, take this woman to see the young master."
Commander Lu felt helpless. He had his men take her away.
Lin Qianzi went out, but before she left, she seemed to glance at Bai Xiangxiu. Bai Xiangxiu was so scared that she lowered her head even more.
After Commander Lu and the others left, he suddenly lifted Bai Xiangxiu's face and caught a hint of panic on her face. He suddenly smirked and said, "You know that woman?"
Bai Xiangxiu finally calmed down. She could tell who this general resembled.
No wonder she hated him. He resembled that perverted little bunny, Duan Yunying. He was the overbearing version of that little bunny.
No wonder he wanted to steal Lin Qianzi's child. He must have thought of her as his own flesh and blood.
"She's just a pitiful mother. How could you steal her child? Are you even human?"
Bai Xiangxiu did want to provoke him on purpose so that he could kill her as soon as possible.
However, she didn't expect that the more she acted like this, the more he thought she wasn't an ordinary woman. He wanted to know more about her.
If Bai Xiangxiu knew about this, she would have gone back to being a little bunny. She didn't expect that her pitiful state would be misunderstood.
She couldn't die even if she wanted to. Instead, she was tortured.
"If you have time to feel sorry for her, why don't you feel sorry for yourself? Men, take her to the interrogation room."
Commander Lu wanted to know what this woman's bottom line was.
Was it pain, fear, or something else?
Bai Xiangxiu was really scared now. This was going to be an interrogation. She'd rather die, alright?
However, she couldn't die even if she wanted to. She was dragged into a small dark room and hung on a pillar.
She struggled, but to no avail. She started to feel hopeless.
Commander Lu walked in as well. He was holding a whip in his hand. It was black and made of leather. It looked like it would hurt a lot if it hit someone.
Bai Xiangxiu wanted to cry, but she couldn't. She wanted to beg for mercy, but for some reason, she couldn't say anything.
She could only watch as Commander Lu sneered and hit her with the whip.
"Ouch …" It hurt, but Commander Lu obviously didn't use too much force. Bai Xiangxiu gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
Commander Lu was stunned by her glare. Was she trying to flirt with him? She wasn't threatening at all!
He thought about it and realized that she was right. Pretty women only had looks as a weapon. Was she trying to soften his heart and let her go? What if he hesitated?
Bai Xiangxiu would have gone crazy if she knew what he was thinking. She wasn't flirting with him. She was glaring at him!
She didn't want him to soften his heart. She wanted him to kill her!
However, neither of them knew what the other was thinking. So, Commander Lu hesitated for a second time before lashing out again.
It would be embarrassing if he didn't hit her in front of so many people.
This time, Bai Xiangxiu was prepared. She gritted her teeth and didn't say anything.
She even closed her eyes and said, "You can hit me however you want."
