I wish you peace and love

"Well……"

Lu Xiche...

I'm behind the door behind you... Can you please look back at me...

Although they were only a few steps apart, it seemed as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them.

At this moment, in the dim and depressing corner, a burly man in black with a twisted and cold face was still tightly covering the girl's lips.

Without the supervision of his boss, the black-clad bodyguard instantly revealed his true dark face and threatened Shen Yunxi with a dagger on her neck.

"Girl, you'd better not make any more noise." The man in black's eyes flashed with undisguised malice and cruelty, warning her, "If you dare to make any more noise, the sharp dagger in my hand will cut your throat and make you lose the ability to speak forever."

Every word he said seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, full of menace.

For fear of angering this black-clad bodyguard who was as scumbag and crazy as Ye, Shen Yunxi stopped crying immediately, but her body was still shaking slightly because of fear.

"Very good, it's right to be afraid." As he spoke, he gently drew the dagger across the girl's fair and slender neck. A tiny but glaring blood mark quietly appeared on her fair skin.

The slight pain made Shen Yunxi's body stiff and she dared not move at all. She only heard the arrogant low laugh of the man in black. She caught a glimpse of him turning his head to examine her profile from behind.

Then, she heard a "tsk" sound, and Shen Yunxi heard him continue to speak in a low voice, "Such a beautiful face, if I leave a long scar on it, will Mr. Ye still love you after seeing it?"

Shen Yunxi's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he could only let out a soft gasp.

The black-clad bodyguard stared at her. "Or we could just kill you and then report back that you've been rescued by that group of people..."

"don't want……"

Clearly feeling the black-clad bodyguard's strong murderous intent towards her, Shen Yunxi's pupils suddenly dilated, eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

It turns out that this person's purpose was not really to take her away, but...

Ready to kill her...

"Hush! Don't get excited. I was just trying to scare you." The man in black sneered. The dagger that was originally on her neck was now gently scratching the girl's face, which was as pale as paper due to fear. "Looking at your pitiful appearance, how could I bear to take action so easily? As long as you cooperate with me now and don't let that person find us, you can rest assured that I will leave you an intact body when I kill you."

Shen Yunxi never dared to anger him again. The moment she saw Lu Xiche turn and leave, her hope of regaining everything was completely shattered.

Lu Xiche... don't go... I'm right behind you... right behind you...

The footsteps gradually faded away, and finally disappeared into the endless silence. Her heart also gradually fell into the cold, bottomless abyss of despair...

After the black-clad bodyguard saw the right opportunity, he roughly grabbed the girl and ran towards the basement on the first floor.

The bodyguard in black stopped after taking only a few steps, and the anxious look on his face froze instantly.

For some reason, just like before, every time he glanced at this person's face, he felt a creepy chill invade his whole body.

The girl with a frightened face behind the black bodyguard saw the man suddenly turn back and stared at him in disbelief. A beam of light full of hope was penetrating the darkness and rushing towards her.

"Let her go!" The man pointed the gun decisively at the black-clad man's head.

Familiar voice, familiar tone.

At that moment, tears welled up in Shen Yunxi's eyes and she shouted loudly, "Lu Xiche, you finally came to save me!"

Shen Yunxi was very happy to see the person she had been thinking about again. She wanted to run towards him desperately, but the black-clad bodyguard grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her back forcefully.

He pulled the girl in front of him, put the sharp dagger in his hand against her neck, and roared at the man who was blocking his way, "Get out of the way!"

"Let her go immediately! You still have a chance." When he saw the girl, Lu Xiche's face was calm, not panicked, and his voice was low and steady.

"I'll say it again, get out of the way!" The black-clad bodyguard's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he no longer had half the momentum he had just now.

"What if I don't allow it?"

Seeing that the man was indifferent, the black-clad bodyguard warned again, "I said get out of the way, or I will kill this woman!"

"I know you may feel like you have it all under control right now, but that's not the case."

Lu Xiche looked stern, his extremely cold eyes staring at the black-clad bodyguard, and he spoke slowly, "If you don't believe me, you can try and see which is faster, your speed or the gun in my hand."

Seeing that the man in front of him was not afraid of his threat at all, and seemed very confident in his marksmanship, the black-clad bodyguard panicked and sweat kept oozing from his forehead.

The hand holding the dagger trembled slightly on the girl's neck, as if making a final struggle and decision.

This was exactly the effect he wanted. Just when he was distracted, Lu Xiche glanced at the girl, gave her a reassuring look, and then his expression became extremely serious.

Hold your breath, aim——

There was no hesitation, no delay, just a loud "bang" of a gunshot.

When the deafening gunshot reached her ears, the girl's face instantly lost color because of fear and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

Accompanied by the breeze, the bullet rushed out at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, shot towards the distracted black-clad bodyguard, and hit him directly between the eyebrows.

The bodyguard in black shook violently, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that he would be shot to death. Then, his body fell down like a kite with a broken string.

The next second, when he was suddenly released, Shen Yunxi heard the sound of the dagger that was originally against his neck falling to the ground.

When she realized she had no wounds on her body, her mood felt like she had been on a violent roller coaster.

She slowly opened her eyes and when she looked up, she saw a tall figure running towards her quickly.

Then, it enveloped her entire body.

"Xi'er..."

The girl in his arms was alive, and what was lost in Lu Xiche's heart was returning to his body little by little.

The man's strong heartbeat made her whole body ache.

"Lu Xiche..." Shen Yunxi's tears slid down uncontrollably, soaking the man's clothes, "I'm really scared..."

"It's okay, it's okay..."

The girl was still sobbing softly, hugging him tightly, "I thought... I would never see you again in this life..."

The girl in his arms was still trembling with fear and nervousness. Lu Xiche put away his gun, touched the back of her head with heartache, and comforted her softly, "No, we will always be together."

At this moment, the despair, fear, depression and helplessness in my heart were instantly dispelled by the scorching sunshine.

"Does it hurt?" Lu Xiche noticed the slight trace of blood on Shen Yunxi's neck, raised his hand and gently pinched the wound, and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry," the girl told him, "it's just a cut. It doesn't hurt much."

Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Xiche's face turned cold, and he asked again, "Did that scumbag touch you?"

"He tried to force me, but I didn't want to, so I injured him and failed."

Although Shen Yunxi did not see any expression on the man's face when he said this, she could clearly feel that his expression was getting colder and colder.

He hugged the girl tightly, and after a brief and shocking silence, he whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

If he had dropped everything to pick her up at that time, perhaps this would not have happened.

When they heard gunshots from the first floor, Shen Chenfeng and his friends hurried down and saw the two of them hugging each other tightly.

I was worried about their safety, but they actually took the opportunity to fall in love.

"Have you two hugged enough?" Shen Chenfeng coughed lightly, ruthlessly breaking this beautiful and peaceful scene, "If you continue to hug, that beast will succeed in escaping."

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Yunxi was stunned. She crawled out of the man's arms and immediately hugged the man who was just walking towards them.

"elder brother!"

Shen Chenfeng was stunned when he heard the long-lost call of "brother".

He wanted to say something more to her, but he didn't expect the girl to hug him and rub his clothes with snot and tears.

"Hey, hey, hey, Shen Yunxi, why are you crying? It's not like you haven't seen it before." Shen Chenfeng's face was full of disgust. He had never seen her cry so much before. "Hurry up and let go of your hands. Catching the bad guys is more important. Now is not the time to talk about love or be sentimental!"

Seeing that the girl refused to let go, Shen Chenfeng frowned and suddenly looked at the man standing next to him, "Lu Xiche! What are you just watching? Hurry up and pull your wife away from me! You don't want revenge, right?"

"Yunxi." Lu Xiche called out, but before he could say anything, Shen Yunxi had already let go of Shen Chenfeng, obediently, "Okay."

Shen Chenfeng: "..."

Why couldn't what he said be matched by Lu Xiche's words?

At this moment, Hong Chen's anxious voice came from the headset, "The entrance to the basement has been found."

Shen Chenfeng: "Very good! Ye Muan, I wonder where you can escape to."

"Ache..."

Knowing that Lu Xiche and the others were going to find Ye Muan to avenge her, Shen Yunxi's eyes were filled with reluctance and worry.

"It'll be fine." Lu Xiche held the girl in his arms again, then kissed her forehead, "Don't worry, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, the man's expression turned cold and he looked at Xie Zhi, "Protect Yun Xi."

"Yes!" Xie Zhi nodded.

After Lu Xiche and the others went to the basement, Shen Yunxi was taken to a safe place and waited, but her heart could not calm down at all.

"Don't worry, ma'am. The master and your brother will come back safely." Xie Zhi looked at Shen Yunxi's absent-minded look and comforted her.
