Chapter 39: Encountering a Robber

"Don't be brainwashed." Xi Hao took Xi Qingwan's hand and said, "You can't tell a person by appearance. Sometimes what you see is not necessarily what you believe. Tell me, who is a good person who would curse in public? My own father, insulting my own sisters?”

Xi Qingwan was still unconvinced: "But..."

"Even if there is a secret, if you are so unruly in public, I don't think your education will be much better."

Xi Qingwan was a little shaken by what he said. The kind words she wanted to say to Qi Yan stopped abruptly. She was silent for a while and suddenly said: "I still believe Yan Yan is a good child."

Whether it is true or not, the truth will come out one day.

But before that, she chose to follow her heart: believe in Qi Yan unconditionally.

Xi Hao knew that it was useless to talk more. In order for Xi Qingwan's sincerity not to be let down, he decided to investigate the dispute between Qi Yan and Qi's family privately.

Because what you hear from others may not be true. If you want to know the truth, you have to dig it yourself.

Qi Yan and Xi Yanbei in the live broadcast had already finished eating the cold noodles and were walking one behind the other to eat.

"Everyone, catch him quickly, he is a robber."

Suddenly someone yelled heartbreakingly. Everyone looked up and saw a man wearing a black mask. He was holding a white lady's bag in one hand and a fruit knife in the other hand, slashing randomly in the air.

Pedestrians who saw the robber ducked aside, fearing that the knife in the robber's hand would scratch them.

As soon as the pedestrians got out of the way, Qi Yan was caught off guard and bumped head-on into the robber. He must have known that he was at the end of his rope, but the robber actually took Qi Yan hostage.

He directly put his arm around Qi Yan's shoulders, and placed a sharp fruit knife with a cold light on Qi Yan's neck. His eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted viciously: "Get out of my way, or I'll kill her."

"Don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, please say it." The people around were shocked and hurriedly gathered around and loudly comforted the gangster.

The live broadcast room went crazy, with a series of subtitles calling the police.

Xi Yanbei was pushed aside by the crowd. After he regained his footing, he found that Qi Yan was being held hostage by the gangsters. His face suddenly turned pale and he looked panicked.

"Brother, please tell me what you have to say." Qi Yan's voice trembled: "I, I have money, how about you let me go and I give you all the money?"

Xi Yanbei's eyes turned red when he heard Qi Yan's trembling voice. His hands hanging by his sides clenched tightly into fists, and his handsome face became cold and gloomy.

The robber hugged Qi Yan a little tighter, and pressed the fruit knife on Qi Yan's neck in as a threat.

A blood stain immediately appeared on Qi Yan's fair neck, and a few drops of blood overflowed from the wound.

"It hurts, brother, please don't do this, I'm so scared." Qi Yan's voice was filled with tears, and she was trembling slightly, looking weak.

Xi Yanbei's heart felt as if someone had pulled her hard, and his internal organs were numb with pain. He looked at the robber dumbly: "Let her go, and I will be your hostage."

The robber stared at him warily and yelled: "Don't move, or..."

As he spoke, the fruit knife was thrust into the skin again, and a large amount of blood seeped out from the wound.

"I won't move, so don't be impulsive." Xi Yanbei stopped, stared at the robber intently, and softened his tone to reassure him.

The robber looked at the passers-by cautiously and backed away slowly. Only when he slowly exited the circle did he relax a little.

But his attention was all focused on Xi Yanbei, and he didn't notice the empty mineral water bottle at his feet.

He stepped on the bottle and staggered suddenly. He and the hand holding the fruit knife leaned forward, and the knife edge was far away from Qiyan's fair neck...
