Chapter 859: Helping Each Other

This couldn’t go on.
Murong Qiao looked at Jiang Weiyang, who was lying beside her, and made a plan in her heart.
It was indeed impossible for one person to untie the rope that tied them up, and the chair was also firmly tied up. But weren’t there two people here now?
Although the situation had changed, and Jiang Weiyang probably didn’t expect that she would be tied up in the same room as Murong Qiao, since the situation was already like this and the two of them were forced to be on the same side, she might as well make do with the situation. They could escape and see if they could get out.
“Don’t just sit there,” Murong Qiao said to Jiang Weiyang.
Her voice was a little soft because she was afraid that the people outside the room would hear her. Although Murong Qiao was not sure if there was anyone outside, at least speaking like this was safer. She didn’t want to alarm the people outside, causing the plan to go down the drain before it even started.
At first, Jiang Weiyang didn’t hear Murong Qiao speak. It was not until the other party said it a second time that she looked up and grimaced unhappily. Murong Qiao didn’t know what the other party was up to again.
After she escaped, she would definitely let her Big Brother punish Huo Xiuyuan properly. How could the other party have the guts to attack her?
To be honest, Jiang Weiyang didn’t seem to notice that the current situation was even more serious than she had imagined. At this moment, she was only thinking about taking revenge on Huo Xiuyuan and the fact that she couldn’t escape and could only wait for help.
“Come over here and see if you can touch the rope on my back. Let’s leave this place together.”
Murong Qiao leaned towards her, but because of the chair under her, her progress was very slow.
However, Jiang Weiyang pursed her lips after hearing her words. “Why should I help you?”
Seeing that Jiang Weiyang was still confused about the situation, Murong Qiao’s last bit of patience disappeared after Jiang Weiyang finished speaking.
“Just based on the fact that we might both die here.”
Her voice turned cold, and her tone became heavier and much more serious.
“Do you really think that Huo Xiuyuan would dare to attack you?”
“Can’t you think about who gave him the courage and confidence to tie you up here without caring about the consequences?” Murong Qiao spoke quickly. She only wanted to explain it to Jiang Weiyang quickly and clear her head. This would also help the two of them escape later.
“There’s clearly no good ending that he can get from doing this. Moreover, with your temper, if you’re really tied up by him like this, you would definitely take revenge on him in the end, right?”
Jiang Weiyang’s thoughts were frozen by Murong Qiao’s words. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything. Then, she heard Murong Qiao continue.
“I don’t know about anything else, but since Huo Xiuyuan did this to you, he has already considered the consequences. But if you die here today and he leaves you silently, no one else should know about the plan today, right?”
Originally, Jiang Weiyang as the mastermind would naturally have thought of a way to hide all traces of today, including the secret meeting between Huo Xiuyuan and her. She had only told him in private, and no one would find out.
In that case, if Jiang Weiyang died here today, everything she had done previously would become a service for Huo Xiuyuan, allowing him to successfully escape suspicion.
After Murong Qiao said this, no matter how stupid Jiang Weiyang was, she should have figured it out. Moreover, she was quite smart to begin with.
Jiang Weiyang sat there with a dark expression, but she knew what Murong Qiao meant. Because of this, she understood the importance of escaping. She barely leaned towards Murong Qiao and listened to her.
As Murong Qiao and Jiang Weiyang approached, they pricked up their ears to listen. There were all kinds of movements coming from outside at all times, to prevent the other party from suddenly entering and discovering their movements.
Alright, it had always been very quiet outside. Other than the sound of the waves, no one else approached. Murong Qiao also successfully leaned against Jiang Weiyang.
“Feel where the joints on my side are and see if you can undo them.”
Murong Qiao felt the other party lean against the back of her chair and say softly.
Jiang Weiyang was a little dissatisfied. “Why don’t you untie me first?”
“If you can stand up and let me touch the knot behind you, it’s not impossible,” Murong Qiao said.
She sat on the stool while Jiang Weiyang sat on the ground. If she untied Jiang Weiyang first, the other party would have to keep supporting her body so that she could touch the other party when she was tied behind the chair. This was clearly an extremely bad decision.
However, her side was fixed. As long as she touched Jiang Weiyang a little, she would be able to find the place.
Jiang Weiyang choked at Murong Qiao’s rude words and understood. Then, she snorted coldly and stopped being unreasonable with the other party. Instead, she moved her body seriously and fumbled with the knot on Murong Qiao’s side. After a while, she discovered the position.
The joints were on the legs of a stool. Jiang Weiyang only needed to move slightly and raise her tied hands behind her to touch the firm knots.
However, her inability to look behind became the greatest obstacle at this moment. She was still not used to it and couldn’t see where the knot could be undone with her hands. Therefore, after feeling around it for a long time and sweating profusely, she didn’t seem to find anything.
“Hurry up.” Murong Qiao had no choice but to urge her.
Even though she knew Jiang Weiyang’s personality, the current environment didn’t allow her to make a scene. With her unreasonable personality, no one knew when the people outside would come looking for the two of them. The key to escape was to untie the knot quickly.
Jiang Weiyang was also quite impatient. After hearing Murong Qiao’s words, she knew the importance of untying the rope and didn’t talk back to her. She only silently tried her best to distinguish the structure of the rope. Then, she used her fingertips to pick up any part of the rope that was tied inside.
Fortunately, her fumbling was not useless. Coupled with her nimble and slender fingertips, she could sense the state of the knot very well. Therefore, after touching the patterns a little, Jiang Weiyang had an idea, so she could only dig at the small piece with her fingertips.
After an unknown period of time, Jiang Weiyang finally felt the spot on her fingertip loosen.
Murong Qiao also clearly felt that the area on his wrist loosened a little. There must have been some progress on Jiang Weiyang’s side.
“It should be done soon,” Jiang Weiyang said vaguely. However, after working hard for so long and fooling around just now, her body was far weaker than before.
Most of her patience was placed on her fumbling just now. Now that she had resolved a part of it, she couldn’t help but feel a little impatient. However, when she thought of the two of them’s current predicament, she forced herself to work harder.
The man’s method of tying Murong Qiao up was far sturdier than she had imagined, so Jiang Weiyang felt that she might have even spent nearly half an hour untying the remaining part of the rope, but it was still hanging there. However, as the rope was untied, some slackness could already allow Murong Qiao to move her body a little freely on the chair, so she was not as stiff as before.
At the very least, after Murong Qiao moved her limbs slightly and felt her blood flow and transmitted her senses back to her brain, her situation was much better than before.
