Not sure if it was an illusion, Jiang Heshu saw a dark shadow flashing before his eyes.
When she took a closer look, she saw that the entrance to the community was quiet and nothing unusual. Jiang Heshu frowned slightly.
Ding Ruirui looked at her with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Heshu thought for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go back."
Pei Sui'an fell asleep in Jiang Heshu's arms. Jiang Heshu hugged her and walked side by side towards the community with Ding Ruirui.
After walking a few meters, Jiang Heshu turned around suddenly and saw a dark shadow again.
This time, Jiang Heshu could no longer convince himself that it was an illusion.
Someone really is following them.
In the middle of the night, following behind...
Many images flashed through Jiang Heshu's mind, and her back felt cold. She couldn't help but tighten her fingers and clenched them into fists.
Looking at Pei Sui'an's round face in his arms, Jiang Heshu didn't dare to take any chances and dialed Xu Zhiyuan's number.
Xu Zhiyuan hadn't gone far when he heard Jiang Heshu say that someone was following her and Ding Ruirui, so he turned around and came back without any hesitation.
Ding Ruirui looked around. Although she didn't see anyone, she knew Jiang Heshu wouldn't lie.
She thought of the social news she had seen, and couldn't help but feel tingly. She raised her feet and got closer to Jiang Heshu.
Within two minutes, Xu Zhiyuan came back. He was relieved to see Jiang Heshu and Ding Ruirian safe.
Xu Zhiyuan looked around, wondering if the other party knew that he was exposed and had left. He didn't find anything unusual.
but……
Xu Zhiyuan thought for a few seconds, "I'm not worried about letting you live alone. How about I stay tonight?"
Of course Jiang Heshu would not refuse such a major issue involving personal safety.
She said: "Excuse me, Brother Xu."
Xu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Why are you so polite to me?"
With Xu Zhiyuan by their side, Jiang Heshu and Ding Ruirui's worries and panic faded away, and they felt much more relaxed.
Grandma's house has been demolished. This is the house Ding Ruirui just rented, with two bedrooms and one living room.
Originally, Jiang Heshu planned to take Pei Sui'an to sleep in one room, but now she had to change her mind. She shared one room with Pei Sui'an and Ding Ruirui, and the other room was given to Xu Zhiyuan.
Probably because he was frightened, Jiang Heshu had an uneasy sleep.
She first dreamed about what happened on the night of Pei Yan's birthday. In the dream, she did not make a sound, but stood on the stairs and watched Pei Yan and Liu Jiayi hugging each other...
Then, the scene changed and Jiang Heshu dreamed of being followed tonight again.
The man was dressed in black, holding a cold knife in his hand, and walked towards him step by step.
Jiang Heshu seemed to hear the other party's cold and terrifying laughter.
She woke up suddenly, looking at the dark ceiling, breathing rapidly.
After a long time, Jiang Heshu's breathing calmed down, but he no longer felt sleepy.
She turned her head to look at the sleeping Pei Sui'an and Ding Ruirui, put on her shoes gently, and left the bedroom.
After pouring a glass of water, Jiang Heshu walked to the balcony.
The sky today is extremely dark, without a single star, and the moon is also hidden in the clouds.
Jiang Heshu watched, thinking in her mind who the person following her could be and what they wanted to do.
Before she could figure out the reason, she suddenly noticed something and looked down.
Under the streetlight, parked was a black car with a very familiar model.
Jiang Heshu watched for a long time, and seemed to be able to see the man sitting inside through the dark car window.
She pursed her lips and suddenly turned around and walked into the living room.
Jiang Heshu drank the rest of the water in the cup and was about to go back to the bedroom when he suddenly heard very light footsteps.
Immediately afterwards, the door made a 'click' sound, and someone tried to open the door.
Jiang Heshu subconsciously looked at the balcony. Could it be that he was coming up?
But Jiang Heshu soon gave up this idea because she heard the sound of the other party unlocking the door.
Although Pei Yan was very scheming, he would never be able to pick a lock in the middle of the night.
Jiang Heshu suddenly remembered being followed.
With a look on her face, she went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and quickly walked towards Xu Zhiyuan's room.
Jiang Heshu was afraid of being heard by the people at the door, so she didn't dare to knock on the door, and she didn't care whether it was suitable or not, so she opened the door directly.
She whispered: "Brother Xu, someone is opening the lock."
Xu Zhiyuan woke up soon. After hearing this, he immediately got dressed.
"You stay in the room, I'll go out and take a look."
Jiang Heshu shook his head, "I'll accompany you."
No one knew who opened the door. There were several people. Jiang Heshu was worried when Xu Zhiyuan was asked to go out by himself.
Xu Zhiyuan disagreed, but before he said anything, he heard a noise coming from the living room.
The other party has already come in.
Pei Sui'an and Ding Ruirui are sleeping soundly next door. If they enter the house...
Xu Zhiyuan looked serious, "Be obedient and stay here to call the police."
After saying that, he snatched the kitchen knife from Jiang Heshu's hand and walked out.
When he saw the scene outside, he immediately locked the door and prevented Jiang Heshu from coming out.
The sounds of fighting soon started to sound outside, and it was obvious that the other party was not just one person.
Jiang Heshu tried to open the door, but couldn't open it, and felt extremely anxious.
If you call the police, the police will have at least ten minutes. During this time, if...
Jiang Heshu thought of the car parked downstairs she just saw, gritted her teeth and dialed the number she had blacklisted.
The other party answered in seconds, and Jiang Heshu spoke quickly: "Are you downstairs? Come up quickly. Someone pried open the door and came in. Brother Xu locked me in the room and refused to let me out."
Pei Yan reacted very quickly and said immediately: "Don't worry, I'll be there right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Heshu heard the sound of the car door opening.
It turned out that she was right. Pei Yan really came to Z City and was still downstairs.
Jiang Heshu's hand holding the phone tightened slightly and he quickly dialed 110 to call the police.
After making the call, Jiang Heshu stood at the door and heard the sound of Xu Zhiyuan grunting in pain from outside.
Jiang Heshu was extremely anxious, but the door could not be opened. She could only hope in her heart that Pei Yan would come over soon, and that Xu Zhiyuan would be safe...
I don't know how long it took, but the movement outside suddenly became louder, accompanied by screams.
Jiang Heshu paused carefully for a few seconds. They were all unfamiliar voices, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few more minutes, the door was finally opened.
The tall man stood in front of her against the light. Jiang Heshu's pupils shrank when she saw the blood on his sleeves.
"You are hurt?"
Before Pei Yan had time to answer, Jiang Heshu ran out suddenly without knowing what he saw.
"Brother Xu..."
Jiang Heshu looked at Xu Zhiyuan, who was stained with a lot of blood, his voice trembling and his face full of panic.
Xu Zhiyuan turned pale, endured the pain on his body, and smiled slightly at Jiang Heshu, "Don't be afraid, I'm fine."
He said it was okay, but the next second, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't hold on and fainted.
Ding Ruirui, who was awakened by the movement outside, yawned and went out. She saw this scene, and her brain instantly sobered up.
What happened?
Why are there suddenly three strange men in the house?
Why is there so much blood and bloody knives on the ground?
The blood on Xu Zhiyuan's body is...
Ding Ruirui was full of questions, and was so frightened by the mess in the room that his legs became weak.
