1669 Can’t Leave When You’re In My Territory
Xia Jingan quickly stood up and walked out with an umbrella.
The assistant hurriedly asked, “Young Master, where are you going? Aren’t you going to wait for Miss Qiao?”
Xia Jingan’s footsteps were hurried, and his voice was a little flustered. “She might be in trouble. Send people to look for her immediately.”
The assistant was instantly stunned and hurriedly got into the car with Xia Jingan.
Xia Jingan kept calling Qiao Xi’s number, but he could not get through. His eyes gradually became malicious.
Didn’t Gu Zheng say that he would protect her? She couldn’t even be contacted now, so why was there no news from Gu Zheng?
At this moment, in Longwan Residential, Uncle Sheng also realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly instructed, “Xiao Lan, stay at home and call Young Madam every ten minutes. I’ll bring people out to look for her!”
Xiao Lan hurriedly nodded. Not long after, a shadow guard from the villa sent back a message. “Uncle Sheng, we found something in the river…”
“Tell me!”
“Six bodies were found. They look like assassins, but there’s no sign of Young Madam yet.”
Uncle Sheng’s face darkened. “I’ll go take a look. Xiao Lan, contact me if there’s any news.”
“Alright, Uncle Sheng. Be careful.” Xiao Lan’s heart thumped. She prayed that Young Madam would be safe.
Uncle Sheng was flustered in the car. He knew that this matter could not be spread, so he could only call Song Shijing first and deploy all the shadow guards to look for Young Madam. If the Gu family could not find her, then it would be even more impossible for others to find her.
He walked down the mountain path and saw the six corpses that the shadow guards had fished out lying on the ground.
“Uncle Sheng, these six people were all killed with one shot. To be able to kill them in such a dark environment means that this person’s marksmanship is very good.”
Uncle Sheng’s eyes turned cold. The shadow guards of Longwan Residential had all undergone strict training. The person who could make them praise them was definitely not an ordinary person. Six well-trained assassins died instantly. It seemed that that person had taken Young Madam away.
He thought for a long time before slowly saying, “Continue to send people to search. We can’t miss any clues!”
Soon, Xia Jingan rushed to the location with his men and realized that Qiao Xi was chased after by a group of people. He immediately suspected the Xia family.
Old Madam Xia clearly did not like Qiao Xi, yet she still wanted Qiao Xi to return to the Xia family. Did she send someone to kill Qiao Xi in a fit of anger after being rejected?
Looking at the blood on the floor, Xia Jingan felt a dull pain in his chest. He gritted his teeth and growled, “Look for her! Send someone to look for her immediately!”
Xia Jingan’s heart was filled with guilt. If he had not invited Qiao Xi to be a guest tonight, such a thing would not have happened.
The next day.
Qiao Xi slowly woke up and was stunned for a moment when she saw the unfamiliar environment. Only then did she realize that she was no longer in Longwan Residential. She raised her eyes and sized up her surroundings. The room was not big, and the furniture was a little old. Fortunately, it was still relatively clean.
Her head was still a little heavy, and the memories in her mind were a little chaotic. However, she quickly recalled what happened last night. She remembered that the person who saved her was a tall man. Moreover, that person was very good at shooting. In the end, he even jumped into the water to save her.
The wound on Qiao Xi’s back had already been bandaged, but when she moved her arm slightly, she felt a sharp pain. Her entire body was sore and soft as if she had experienced a calamity. At this moment, not to mention escaping, even getting off the bed was a little strenuous for her.
“You’re injured. Behave yourself.”
A male voice sounded from outside the door, and Qiao Xi’s face turned pale.
The man’s footsteps were steady as he walked over. Soon, his cold and handsome face appeared in front of Qiao Xi.
Huo Yuzhou? It was actually him?
Qiao Xi clenched her fists, her eyes filled with vigilance. “You saved me?”
Ever since she parted with Huo Yuzhou on bad terms, Qiao Xi thought that they would never meet again. She did not expect to see him again so soon in such a manner.
Huo Yuzhou looked down at her and smirked. “I saved you. If I hadn’t arrived in time, you would’ve died a long time ago.”
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes. “Call my fourth brother and get him to pick me up.”
Huo Yuzhou’s body stiffened, and the corners of his lips curled into a mocking smile. “Xi Xi, do you think you can leave when you’re in my territory? Are you very disappointed that Gu Zheng didn’t save you? Is that why you want me to call Xue Liang instead of Gu Zheng?”
Qiao Xi pursed her lips. “What exactly do you want?”
At this moment, she finally realized that her situation was critical when she was in danger last night. Why did Huo Yuzhou appear there? Did he know in advance that she would be chased after?
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. I really care about you, so I took the risk to save you.”
