My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 156 After the Old House Caught Fire (6)

In the dark and narrow space, even breathing seemed to have become a cramped thing. In this quiet environment that seemed to be fatal at any time, each other's breathing could be clearly heard.

Although hiding under the table was not in line with his identity, it was undeniably a rare experience.

Eugene considered himself to be a good-tempered person. He could see clearly even in the dark, so he could see Chu Xiang lying on the ground nervously. She quietly put her head on the floor, and through the gap between the tablecloth and the floor, carefully observed the movements outside.

Her actions really made her look like an unclean animal.

Eugene said: "Chu Xiao..."

"Shh——" Chu Xiang hurriedly raised her body and covered his mouth, signaling him to keep quiet.

Slowly, the heavy footsteps came again.

The huge figure slowly approached and finally stopped at the long table. He put down the hand holding the butcher knife. The sharp tip of the knife was stained red with blood, which then condensed into blood spots and dripped onto the floor.

Chu Xiang didn't dare to breathe, and she inadvertently increased the strength of her hand covering Eugene. Her body involuntarily squeezed towards the table, and inevitably got closer and closer to the man's body.

Late at night, a huge butcher holding a knife, and blood dripping continuously, these conditions together are enough to make people imagine a bloody and horrific story.

Chu Xiang had heard about the dangerous public security in foreign countries, so it was not surprising that a bloodthirsty murderer suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. Seeing the pair of feet outside the gap staying outside for a long time without moving, her heart was raised to her throat as time went by.

The tall man sniffed and seemed to have found the source of the strange smell. He slowly bent down and reached out his hand to touch the tablecloth.

Chu Xiang's hand tightened.

Eugene felt that if this continued for a while longer, there would be more claw marks on his face. His blue eyes moved slightly and looked outside.

The tall man suddenly shuddered and withdrew his hand. He held the knife, turned around and ran away with "bang bang bang".

Even though she heard the heavy footsteps fading away, Chu Xiang quietly breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the hand that was covering Eugene, but she did not dare to relax completely, for fear that the other party would strike back.

Eugene didn't seem nervous at all, and asked with concern: "Miss Chu, are you okay?"

"Keep your voice down!" Chu Xiang lowered her voice and whispered, "What if the person outside hears the noise and comes back?"

Eugene realized belatedly that he had to lower his voice. "The man outside?"

"The man with the knife." Chu Xiang found his phone in his coat pocket. "We have to call the police while he's not around."

The phone screen lit up, and the faint light shone on her face, leaving some starlight in her eyes, making it seem a little unreal.

Eugene watched her press three numbers. After a long time, the call was connected and the operator's lazy voice came from the other end, "Hello?"

Chu Xiang: "I want to call the police, I encountered..."

"If it's a minor matter that has nothing to do with your life, please handle it yourself. If it's a major matter that has to do with your life, please don't give up the resistance and run as long as you can to bring more fun to everyone." The operator on the other end burped, "Okay, that's it. I'm glad to answer your call. Goodbye."

With a beep, the phone was hung up.

It took Chu Xiang a while to react. She raised her head and said incredulously: "Is this the attitude of your police?"

“There are not many people here, and the emergency response is good, so everyone is a little…” Chu Xiang: “Relaxed?”

Eugene smiled, "Yes, it is relaxation, Miss Chu, the word you said is very appropriate."

Chu Xiang fell silent.

Eugene said softly: "So generally speaking, if we encounter any problems, we are used to solving them ourselves."

"But..." Chu Xiang tried to gesture with his hands, "The man outside is this big, we can't beat him."

Eugene also stretched out his hand to gesture, "Since he is this big, we have to think of other ways."

Chu Xiang glanced at him. She really couldn't stand the way he imitated her way of speaking, but the man still put on a smile and looked gentle and friendly. It was really hard for her to say anything too harsh to him.

Chu Xiang and he squatted face to face, and the dim light from the mobile phone placed between them fell on both of their faces at the same time. In the dim environment, there was a bit of eerie feeling.

She whispered, "How do we solve this?"

Eugene touched his chin, his clear blue eyes were filled with the wisdom of serious thinking. He was mature and steady, safe and reliable, making people trust him for no reason.

He said: "I can lead him away first, and you can take this opportunity to run out and find someone for help."

Chu Xiang said: "Why can't we two run out together to ask for help?"

"Because he's coming back."

As if to confirm Eugene's words, footsteps gradually came from the distance and got closer and closer. I believe that it won't be long before he comes back, and by then, he may not give up lifting the tablecloth to see if there is anyone hiding underneath.

Eugene rarely smiled, but instead looked serious, "Miss Chu, let's put it this way."

His eyes, which usually curved with a smile, suddenly opened without any smile, and the tense atmosphere instantly became even more oppressive.

Chu Xiang saw him about to get out, and she subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Wait..."

Eugene asked unexpectedly: "Are you going to be the bait for me?"

Chu Xiang decisively let go of her hand, "You go."

Eugene was a very considerate gentleman. In order not to make Chu Xiang worry, he forced himself to smile, "Miss Chu, don't worry, I'll be fine."

The blond, blue-eyed man left the dark and narrow space with the awareness of being ready to die, and rushed to a dangerous slaughterhouse.

And shortly after he went out, the tall man who was approaching here seemed to hear the noise and changed direction and left.

Chu Xiang took the opportunity to crawl out from under the table, and with the help of the faint moonlight, she ran out of the restaurant, but standing in the lobby, she was in a dilemma.

Should I go upstairs and try to knock on the residents' doors to seek their help, or run out of the hotel and go to the police station to seek their protection?

There didn't seem to be many residents in this building, and she didn't have any friends here who were close enough to take the risk. If she went outside to find the police, Eugene might not be able to hold on by the time she came back, right?
