He took a deep breath, and his slightly drooped eyelashes became moist where she couldn't see them: "Did those people make things difficult for you?"
"No." Listening to his trembling voice, she detailed what happened after she woke up.
Then she acted coquettishly against Wen Qizhou's face, trying to divert his attention: "Qizhou, I'm still tied up."
Hearing the word "tied" in the voice, Wen Qizhou loosened his arms around Chi Yue and looked down at the hemp ropes on her hands and feet.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention." He pulled out the dagger with trembling fingertips, cut the hemp rope that bound her, checked her wrists and ankles, and asked her in a hoarse voice if it hurt.
"It doesn't hurt."
"Brother Zhou, someone is here again." Zhao Peng, who stayed outside to observe the situation, caught a glimpse of five or six people coming menacingly from the villa next door: "They all have guns in their hands."
"Yes." Wen Qizhou adjusted his mood, put away the dagger and helped Chi Yue stand up: "Yue Yue, wait for me here."
"I will go with you."
"No, we can solve it." He rubbed the top of her hair without refusal and followed Zhao Peng and the others out.
Fu Wei, who was still hugging Qiu Niancheng and crying with tears streaming down his face, heard that someone was coming again. He immediately wiped his face, picked up the rifle beside him and caught up with them.
The men gathered in the basement disappeared instantly.
Chi Yue untied the other two women, and out of worry, followed the footsteps that were getting farther and farther up the steps.
She quietly approached the TV wall, looked at the five Wen Qizhou people standing behind the screen and beside the column, and stared with them at the door of the living room where there was a slight movement.
Six people of different sizes came with guns.
The leader was gesturing and was about to let the minions behind him find the person who broke into the villa, when a bullet suddenly flew towards him.
The first person to shoot was Xie Changxiao.
He was the closest to one of them, and when he pulled the trigger, he hit the other person's chest and fell backwards in just a moment.
The leader who was standing in the light felt something was wrong. He shouted at the minions to find a hiding place and at the same time fired two shots at the screen.
Unfortunately it's too late.
The second he was about to hide behind the sofa, Wen Qizhou aimed at his head and fired a shot without hesitation.
Then he hit the minions behind him.
The remaining three people encountered Fu Wei and Zhao Peng head-on while fleeing in panic, and were easily snatched away from their lives.
"It's not my turn!" Yao Chengwei, who once again acted as the backdrop, was so angry that he aimed another shot at the dead leader.
Wen Qizhou: "It's time for you to practice."
Perhaps because he found Chi Yue, he no longer looked like he was desperate for death, and now he also had the intention to tease the other party.
He glanced at the figure next to the TV wall with his peripheral vision, stepped forward to hold her hand tightly, and the cold aura around him suddenly subsided.
"We should go." Xie Changxiao glanced out through the window: "The people behind may send someone over."
Their two waves of shootings made too much noise. The officials must have received the news and are on their way.
Fu Wei nodded: "I'll call Nian Cheng."
After a while, everyone left the villa.
Under the thick darkness, they braved the howling cold wind and walked towards the two cars parked not far away.
Chi Yue asked Zhao Peng and others to help send the two women home, and reminded them: "Don't go out recently."
The woman in gray nodded: "Thank you."
"It's okay." She watched the car drive away, then turned to sit in the passenger seat and talk to Wen Qizhou about the information she got at noon.
As soon as she said "give it away", Wen Qizhou tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and countless stern expressions appeared on his brows.
He had thought about many possibilities, including that others coveted her beauty and tried to do something worse than a beast to her.
But now that I heard it with my own ears, even if I knew she had the ability to escape, I would still be afraid.
"Is his boss a tenant of the villa?" He suppressed his raging murderous intent and tried to talk about the matter in a calm tone.
"No." Xie Changxiao checked the information in the service center and could still recall the appearance of the registrant: "I have seen the photo and the tenant is the leader of the second wave of people coming in."
As a boss, why would you go into battle personally?
Probably still hiding in the dark.
Fu Wei in the back row suggested: "Then we take turns squatting outside the villa for a few days? Maybe we can find the turtle grandson."
"It's useless to squat." Xie Changxiao glanced in the direction of Area A: "So many people died tonight. The official will definitely investigate. They should not show up in a short time."
"what is it now?"
"Let's wait and see." He took out the cigarette case and handed each of them a cigarette: "I will tell you when there is news."
They had no familiar high-level people at the base, and the only way to obtain information was through his patrol team.
There is really no other way but to wait.
Wen Qizhou sent them to their residences, then drove back to the small foreign building, and walked step by step to his and Chi Yue's home.
He boiled a pot of hot water, rolled up Chi Yue's sleeves and trousers and checked them. He saw that the skin around her wrists was red due to the hemp rope, and he rubbed her gently with distress.
"Have you eaten anything today?"
"I ate two pieces of chocolate." Chi Yue didn't touch the food they gave her, covering her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry now."
"Then take out a bowl of porridge first."
"Yeah." She guessed that Wen Qizhou hadn't eaten much, so she took out two bowls of shredded chicken porridge and said, "You eat with me."
Wen Qizhou looked at her while eating.
Once he had filled his stomach, he wrapped his arms around her waist, wanting to be with her.
"It was my negligence today." He rested his chin on her shoulder and said sorry in a low voice: "I won't do it again."
"Don't take everything on yourself, it's not your problem." Chi Yue caught the self-blame in his eyes and said softly: "You have protected me well enough."
"Have it?"
"Why not?" Knowing that he had made a mistake, Chi Yue counted in detail the things he had done in front of him every time he encountered a crisis.
After hearing this, Qizhou remained silent. She lowered her head and kissed his thin lips. She took out her trump card and called him "husband" in a delicate voice: "Can you please stop thinking so wildly?"
The hook-like sound of "husband" touched Wen Qizhou's heart. When he raised his head again, his eyes were slightly dim.
He blocked the bright red lips, and the movement of robbing her breath changed from gentle to strong.
Their lips and tongues were intertwined, as if they were playing.
He absorbed the sweetness he wanted, soothed the heart that had been anxious all day, and it took him a long time to give her a chance to breathe.
"Want to take a bath? I'll boil water for you." He sucked her earlobe and stroked the smooth skin on the back of her neck with his palm.
Chi Yue responded with a sigh: "Yes."
When the hot breath he sprayed no longer lingered on her earlobes, she glanced at his back with trembling eyelashes, and her heart hit her chest randomly like a roller coaster.
She leaned on the soft pillow and waited for the water in the tub to be heated by the boiling rod before picking up her pajamas and entering the bathroom.
