Something wasn't right. Very wrong.
Miaomiao sensed that this situation was highly abnormal. She completely subconsciously ignored the possibility that Wei Ziqi had just returned on her way here. It was precisely because she didn't have enough mental capacity to think about such things that Miaomiao simply reached out, bent the iron railing in front of her, and crawled through.
The moment the doorbell rang just now, the three people tied up in the house had a glimmer of hope in their eyes. This was their only straw of salvation. But after they heard that it was Miaomiao outside, Wei Ziqi couldn't help but feel worried.
It was true that Miaomiao was highly skilled in martial arts, but no one knew just how well - planned Mrs. Du's murder plot was. What if Miaomiao came in and got ambushed and fell into a trap?
Wei Ziqi wanted to make some noise to alert Miaomiao, but unfortunately, his hands and feet were tied up, and his mouth had been stuffed tightly with a rag by Mrs. Du when the doorbell rang. He simply couldn't make any sound.
There was no sound outside. Mrs. Du thought the person had left. She turned around and untied Wei Ziqi's mouth. But just then, there was a knock on the door.
She had just answered the intercom. If she pretended no one was home now, it would be too obvious.
"Behave yourselves, or I'll make you drop dead right here on the spot."
Mrs. Du had no choice but to lower her voice and threaten the people present. She tidied up her appearance and walked towards the door. Seeing a slightly petite girl standing outside, Mrs. Du slowly let out a sigh of relief and relaxed her guard.
"I've already said he's not here. He left not long after he came to my house. If you try to break in, I'll sue you for trespassing."
Any normal person with common sense knew that one could fight back infinitely against a trespasser. If the other person was judged as a dangerous individual, it was even justifiable to kill them with a knife. So generally, this kind of threat was enough to deter non - violent people outside.
But was Miaomiao a normal person?
Obviously not.
Miaomiao was completely unaware of how serious trespassing was. She firmly believed that Mrs. Du was lying. She was so stubborn that she thought if Wei Ziqi had left right after he came, he would definitely have sent her a message in the meantime.
"You're lying! If you don't open the door, I'll break it down!"
Miaomiao hated most being treated like a fool. As she grew older, she had learned to tell good from bad in people's words. She was just a bit naive, not stupid. Being casually dismissed like this really made her unhappy. Moreover, the more firmly the other person refused, the more suspicious it seemed.
"You're young, but you've got a big mouth. Our family doesn't welcome a pauper like you. Go back where you came from. If you've got the guts, then break the door down."
Mrs. Du rolled her eyes, simply ignored the knocking on the door, and walked back to the dining table. She picked up a knife, intending to finish the job quickly.
Her patience was all used up. There was still a troublesome kid outside. To avoid any further complications, she had to settle the matter. Only when Wei Ziqi and his father were dead would this matter be a foregone conclusion.
"Your friend is so noisy. You don't need to eat this meal either. Become a starving ghost on the way to the underworld. Don't blame me. Blame your friend."
With that, Mrs. Du raised her arm high and brought the knife down, aiming straight at Wei Ziqi's heart.
Just then, there was a loud bang from outside.
Mrs. Du instinctively stopped and looked outside. She saw Miaomiao standing at the door like a "muscle Barbie", holding the doorknob with one hand and the door panel with the other, looking menacing.
This door was a custom - made anti - theft door that cost a fortune. One could imagine how heavy it was. Miaomiao was able to effortlessly remove the door from the doorframe and hold it above her head, which showed just how terrifying her strength was.
Fortunately, this custom - made anti - theft door was of excellent quality, and the doorknob was extremely sturdy. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Miaomiao to find a fulcrum so quickly and pull the door down.
"I knew there was something fishy going on inside! Why did you tie up Uncle Du, Teacher Xiao... and Wei Ziqi's younger brother?!"
Miaomiao threw the door aside. With a loud thud, the heavy anti - theft door made a dent in the floor. Mrs. Du was a bit scared at this sight but still tried to maintain her composure on the surface.
"Don't come any closer. If you do, I'll kill them!" Mrs. Du had a sudden idea and simply put the knife to Wei Ziqi's neck, taking him as a hostage.
Miaomiao frowned as she looked at Wei Ziqi and Mrs. Du. To outsiders, it seemed like she was being threatened, but in fact, what was our little girl thinking?
She was thinking.
Was her fist not hard enough? Was her speed not fast enough? Why was there still someone trying to show off in front of her?
This person looked familiar. Who was it?
It seemed to be Wei Ziqi's mother.
Well, since she was her friend's mother, should she show mercy when she attacked later? How hard should she hit to be just right?
But this aunt seemed to want to kill Wei Ziqi. She probably wasn't his real mother. She had heard that only stepmothers would do such things.
Yes, it must be so.
Wanting to kill one's own son = evil stepmother = no mercy = beat her to death later!
Miaomiao once again had a mind - boggling train of thought. After making these equalities in her mind, she resolutely rushed towards Mrs. Du.
No one expected that at the critical moment when the knife was at Wei Ziqi's neck, Miaomiao would still dare to rush forward. Everyone was stunned, including Mrs. Du, who had taken Wei Ziqi hostage.
Miaomiao was as fast as an arrow leaving the bow. In a flash, she was behind Mrs. Du. Then, without even thinking, she raised her hand and punched Mrs. Du right in the temple.
Mrs. Du let out a scream. Her eyes went blind for a moment, and the knife in her hand fell because of the pain and the blocking of Miaomiao's fist.
Seeing that this person was so easy to defeat, Miaomiao was really afraid of killing her, so she softened her blows.
But she wouldn't give the other person any chance to catch their breath. She grabbed Mrs. Du's hair and yanked it back hard, dragging her for several meters. After making sure they were at a safe distance from Wei Ziqi and the others, she gave her a karate chop and knocked her out.
From the moment Miaomiao made her move to the end, it took less than a minute. Before anyone could even react, it was all over.
After dealing with the knife - wielding woman, Miaomiao stared intently at Mrs. Du as she fell backward. Finally, she walked up to Wei Ziqi and untied him.
Throughout the whole process, Miaomiao's eyes never left the unconscious Mrs. Du, for fear that she would wake up early and do something unexpected.
After Wei Ziqi was untied, he didn't care about himself. He quickly untied Uncle Du and Du Ziming.
All three of them were rescued, and this seemingly dangerous murder plot simply came to an end like this.
"You're really amazing,女侠!" Uncle Du couldn't help but give Miaomiao a thumbs - up. Then he turned to Wei Ziqi and said, "Son! Dad supports you!"
From Uncle Du's winking, Wei Ziqi didn't even need to think to know what he was insinuating. He rolled his eyes and didn't want to respond.
They were still minors. What was there to support?
"What do you want to do with this woman? I heard that you were crazy about her when you were young. You're not going to let her go now, are you?"
