Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 366 Yu Ru Falls from Building

The man smiled at Yu Ru and Sister Shan and said, "You bitches, stop running. I'm faster than you and I'm invulnerable. No matter how you hit me, I won't die. Give up struggling. Give me the woman on your back, and I might spare your life."

After firing all its bullets, Dumpling Number Three tried to slit the man's neck again. Seeing its eagerness, Yu Ru quickly stopped it, shouting with her last strength, "Sanbao, don't cut him! Go and call for backup!"

Upon receiving the command, Sanbao immediately flew downstairs. Seeing it leave, the man tried to catch it with his detachable hand, but Sanbao was agile and dodged his grasp, escaping in time.

He sneered and said, "All your bodyguards combined can't handle me. Go ahead and call for backup. Wait, when the others arrive, I'll let you taste what it's like to be completely wiped out."

Sister Shan carried Yu Ru slowly backwards, whispering to Yu Ru, "Madam, I'm putting you down. You run somewhere else, and I'll hold him off for now."

"I'm too weak to run away, and he'll definitely kill you if I leave. Put me down first. Otherwise, if his iron hand reaches out, we'll both be pierced through and neither of us will survive," Yu Ru replied in a breathy voice.

Sister Shan hesitated for a moment, but still put Yu Ru down.

Yu Ru stood in front of Sister Shan, blocking her way, and looked at the man, asking, "I've stepped forward, what do you want?"

"Of course we'll kill you, you bitch! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses, and all our original plans would have been ruined by you."

Yu Ru sighed, "It seems you're invincible right now. Before you die, can you at least tell me why? Were you sent by our people? What's your plan?"

As they spoke, Sanbao returned, silently flying to the man's back. Yu Ru stared at the man, but her gaze was actually fixed on Sanbao behind him. She secretly used the bracelet on her wrist to control Sanbao's movement, aiming its projectile nozzle at the back of the man's neck.

"You're a dead man, you don't need to know anything more. Prepare to die. You just tried to throw me off the building to kill me. Now, I'll grab you and throw you hard off the third floor," the man said contemptuously.

"Release my bodyguard, and I'll die," Yu Ru said. She had already precisely aimed the bullet outlet of the Sanbao at the back of the man's neck. At that moment, she pressed the bracelet hard, manually firing the last few bullets from the Sanbao.

The bullet struck the man squarely in the back of the neck. The blow instantly sent him to his knees, his body convulsing.

"Sister Shan, run!"

Because the man blocked the way down, Yu Ru was worried that he would reach out with that hook-like hand to stop people again, so she could only pull Sister Shan up and run back up quickly.

The man knelt on the ground, his face contorted with rage as he watched their retreating figures. He staggered to his feet and immediately gave chase. As he pursued, he wildly thrashed and banged with his octopus-like tentacles. Hearing the clanging and banging sounds behind them, Yu Ru and Sister Shan's hearts pounded. They dared not turn back, gritting their teeth and continuing uphill.

The man hadn't caught up yet, so Yu Ru quickly said, "Sister Shan, let's lead him upstairs. In a moment, I'll have Jiaozi team up and use a rope to hook around his neck, lower the rope down, and have the bodyguards drag him downstairs to throw him. The people downstairs should be ready too; they'll grab him as soon as he falls."

"Okay." Sister Shan nodded.

Ideals are lofty, but reality is cruel. Both of them were injured and couldn't run fast. Before they even reached the third floor, the man caught up with them again. He pushed Sister Shan aside with one hand, sending her tumbling down the stairs, and immediately grabbed Yu Ru by the hair with his other hand, dragging her quickly upwards.

Yu Ru gave up struggling. She knew that the more she struggled, the more pain her body would experience, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. She could only conserve her strength for the time being. Fortunately, she had the foresight to wear clothes with a little bit of air cushioning, which gave her some protection and prevented her body from being slowly tortured with every step she took as she was dragged up the stairs.

Sister Shan wasn't so lucky. Although Yu Ru had arranged for her to wear special protective clothing, pants, and a hat beforehand, she rolled around several times and lost all sense of direction. The whole world seemed upside down to her, and the dizziness made her feel extremely nauseous.

To stop herself from rolling, she reached out and grabbed anything she could as she rolled. Finally, after rolling down a whole flight of stairs, she came to a stop. She wobbled to her feet, gripping the handrail, and before she could even process what was happening, she immediately started climbing back up.

When she reached the third floor, she saw a scene that almost took her breath away—Yu Ru was being lifted high by him, and if he let go, she would fall to the ground.

At his feet, the bodyguards, who were lying on the ground, crawled forward to grab his legs, but were instead kicked aside by him.

Suppressing her grief and pain, Sister Shan walked forward in silence, praying silently that the man wouldn't notice her, so she could pull him back and prevent Yu Ru from falling off the building.

first floor,

The bodyguards who were building a safety cushion with sleeping bags and blankets also noticed what was happening upstairs. The sleeping bags they had just piled up were not in the spot where Yu Ru was about to be thrown down, so all their hard work had been for nothing.

"Everyone! Everyone! Grab your sleeping bags and move to the right! Move to wherever the boss is!" Sister Ping shouted to the crowd.

The bodyguards listened and immediately did as instructed.

Pingjie pointed to a few people and said, "Six of you, come and get the blankets! Numbers 31, 36, 42, 16, 19, and 23, you six take the biggest blanket and get ready to receive someone!"

"Your men are really loyal to you, they even wanted to pick you up," the man said to Yu Ru with a smile. "And there's another one behind you trying to ambush you."

As he spoke, he turned his head 180 degrees to look back at Sister Shan who was approaching from behind, "None of you will have this chance."

He sneered and immediately dragged Yu Ru to the left side of the corridor. His feet seemed to have wheels, and he covered more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

"Madam!" Sister Shan looked at Yu Ru, who was getting further and further away from her, in despair. She knew that the hope of catching up was slim, but she still kept walking forward.

The bodyguards on the first floor saw the man move and quickly followed. However, the man was faster. Before anyone could catch up, he picked up Yu Ru and threw her downstairs.

"mom!"

Through the dumplings' "eyes," Shan Ci saw Yu Ru fall from the building. Yu Ru had told it beforehand about a way she had come up with to control a man: five dumplings would gather together, put a lasso around the man's neck, tighten the lasso, and pull the rope down to the first floor so the bodyguards could work together to drag him down.

This process is somewhat complex; the simple dumplings cannot accomplish it independently. Only with the intervention of Shan Ci or the personal control of Yu Ru can it be done. Clearly, Yu Ru is currently in dire straits and has no time for this task; only Shan Ci can. However, seeing Yu Ru in mortal danger, it immediately chooses to disobey Yu Ru's orders, prioritizing controlling the five dumplings to gather together and lift Yu Ru first.
