Soul Patch

Chapter 189 The Wire is Gone

After all that, Wenjie felt exhausted and weak. His sleep became thick and sticky, and he felt dizzy and lightheaded, with his eyelids constantly drooping.

He couldn't take it anymore, he couldn't take it anymore... He dragged his heavy steps to the bedside and lay down on the bed, sprawled out on the floor.

With limbs casually stretched out in a "big" shape, he secretly felt great: this is the heroic sleeping posture a man should have.

Wenjie had already prepared himself to make do for the night. Although this thin and simple iron bed was nothing special, he was just too sleepy!

When you're sleepy, how can you not feel good when you see your bed?

Liu Qingqing left such a big bed unslept on because she thought it was dirty. The thought that tomorrow Liu Qingqing would probably still be just a bystander, and he would have to rely on himself to complete the system task, while she could only lie on the table tonight made her feel like crying.

Some people might think that spending the night with a girl and not sleeping in the bed, but instead sleeping on the table, is a waste of her.

Wenjie could only chuckle; he had absolutely no feelings for Liu Qingqing... It just goes to show that everyone has their own ambitions.

Wenjie turned his head and glanced at Liu Qingqing, who was still lying on the ground. Liu Qingqing looked very disheveled. Her clothes and pants were torn because of the violent movements she had just made in her frenzied state.

Sigh! Wenjie felt a pang of pity looking at Liu Qingqing like this.

He struggled for a moment, got out of bed, walked to Liu Qingqing, picked her up, and put her on the bed.

Looking at the two silver needles on the table, he felt a slight tremor in his heart... If Liu Qingqing waited until he fell into a deep sleep and then went crazy again, he might just die.

He tore off the bed sheet, ripped it into strips, and tied Liu Qingqing's hands and feet to the four corners of the iron bed frame.

After doing all this, Wenjie looked at Liu Qingqing, who was bound hand and foot on the bed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was so tired that he lay down on the ground and fell asleep in no time.

"Wenjie..."

Wenjie…

In a daze, he felt as if someone was calling him...

He really didn't want to move, so he turned over and planned to continue sleeping.

But then the voice came again: "Wenjie..."

He was getting a little irritated. This whole night had been exhausting. He had just managed to doze off, but he didn't know how long he had slept, and he had a lot of random dreams. He hadn't had a good night's sleep at all.

He was awakened by the strange noise again, and sat up to look around in the darkness.

Wait... I didn't turn off the lights, so why are the lights in the room off?

“Wenjie…”

This time he heard it clearly; it was Liu Qingqing on the bed calling his name in a muffled voice.

This woman is so annoying. Call her properly, but this is like calling back a ghost. It's really creepy in the middle of the night.

He groped his way to the door, found the light switch on the wall, and pulled it down.

In these primitive inns, the lights are the old-fashioned kind with cords; you pull one to turn it on, and pull another to turn it off.

But when he pulled it, the light didn't turn on...

He pulled twice more, but there was no response, absolutely no response.

Liu Qingqing on the bed seemed to hear the noise and shouted even louder, "Wenjie, Wenjie, come help me! I can't move!"

Oh, I fell asleep and forgot all about it, Liu Qingqing was tied up.

"Liu Qingqing... well..." Wenjie didn't know how to explain for a moment, and said in a muffled voice, "It seems there's a power outage, the lights aren't working."

"Wenjie, I can't move. It feels like something is wrapped around my arms and legs. My whole body aches. Is there something in this room...?" Liu Qingqing woke up completely and found herself in a very frightening situation.

Hearing Liu Qingqing kicking the bed, Wenjie had no choice but to return to the bedside from the doorway: "I'm coming over, stop shouting."

He silently squatted by the bed to untie the cloth strips from Liu Qingqing's clothes. Liu Qingqing struggled and he couldn't untie them for a long time. He would call out every now and then: "Don't move."

Finally, Liu Qingqing sprang out of bed like a salted fish turning over. She touched her torn clothes and roared angrily:

"Wenjie, did you kidnap her? You...you...you have such a twisted taste! You pervert, do you believe I'll sue you for rape?"

"Thump, thump, thump," the sound of knocking came from the wall again.

It was the same wall, and the same guy, but this time his voice was filled with frustration and barely suppressed rage: "Here we go again! Here we go again! Can't you guys be a little quieter? Can't a person get any sleep?!"

Wenjie awkwardly shushed, but his voice was immediately drowned out by Liu Qingqing's shouting.

He shook his head helplessly, jumped onto the bed and pinned Liu Qingqing down. Liu Qingqing's face was pressed against the bed board, but she was still chattering away. In fact, because Wenjie's violent approach had angered her, she became even more outspoken.

Wenjie covered Liu Qingqing's mouth with the cup on the bed, whispered in her ear, and warned, "You'd better shut up right now. Things aren't what you think, and I'm too lazy to explain to you. Believe me, if you keep yelling, I'll punch your head off."

The threat worked; Liu Qingqing blinked and burst into tears.

However, since his mouth was covered by the blanket, his crying only sounded like "woo woo woo," but as long as it didn't disturb the neighbors, Wenjie ignored it.

Wenjie then shouted, "Hey buddy next door, do you have electricity over there?"

"roll!"

The other party cursed and then ignored their close-quarters combat and crying.

Very good! Wenjie wasn't angry.

He watched Liu Qingqing cry for a while until she completely stopped, then coldly said, "I should go to sleep. It's your turn to look through the medical records."

"I... look through the medical records?" Liu Qingqing was almost choked by Wenjie's words. She got up reluctantly, groped her way to the table in the dark, and leaned on the table.

Wenjie, who was lying on the bed, was not asleep. He was just resting with his eyes closed. After all this commotion, he had a bad feeling.

This feeling is hard to describe, yet it is very strong.

He knew Liu Qingqing wasn't asleep either. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Liu Qingqing, was the assassin we encountered on the first floor at Huahai International arranged by you?"

Liu Qingqing stood up in surprise, rubbed her eyes, and asked blankly, "Which assassin?"

Upon hearing this, Wenjie sat up and looked in the direction of Liu Qingqing in the darkness: "It was a man holding a dagger, of medium build, dressed in black. He was trying to assassinate me in the bathroom on the first floor."

“No, how could we know an assassin?” Liu Qingqing shook her head repeatedly in denial.

Hearing Wenjie's words, she realized there was a problem: "You mean, besides the murderer Zhang Zhipeng trying to kill the patch carrier, there are other people chasing us in the online mission?"

Wenjie hesitated and shook his head: "...At least kill me."

"Ah!" Before Wenjie could finish speaking, Liu Qingqing screamed again.

The guy next door smashed what was either a thermos or a chair against the wall, yelling, "If you don't shut up, believe me, I'll come over and teach you a lesson!"

Wenjie didn't open his eyes, and coldly asked, "What's wrong?"

"When I was lying down, there seemed to be two wires on the table. I accidentally touched them and they felt cool, so I moved them aside," Liu Qingqing murmured.

Wenjie interrupted her rambling: "Get to the point."

"The wire is gone!"

"..." Wenjie.
