I wish you peace and love

However, Lu Xiche did not see Shen Yunxi. All he saw was a mobile phone that had fallen to the ground with a shattered screen.

In an instant, his heart suddenly tightened and a bad premonition took over his mind.

Lu Xiche was very familiar with this mobile phone; it was Shen Yunxi's mobile phone.

He bent down subconsciously, picked it up quickly and examined it carefully.

The screen of the phone was shattered beyond recognition, and it was obviously impossible for it to be caused by an accidental drop.

Lu Xiche immediately concluded that someone must have done this on purpose.

Lu Xiche's heartbeat became more and more rapid, and his already nervous heart was instantly swallowed by fear, becoming even more panicked.

He held the phone tightly, his fingers trembling slightly uncontrollably.

At this moment, Lu Xiche seemed to have lost his mind. He was anxiously searching for Shen Yunxi's trace around frantically, not missing any corner.

At this moment, Lin Yan, who had followed him out, suddenly appeared and called out anxiously, "Brother Che!"

Hearing the voice, Lu Xiche turned around abruptly and his eyes met Lin Yan's.

Seeing this, Lin Yan suddenly felt a little confused and asked quickly, "Why are you so anxious? What happened?"

Lin Yan noticed that his expression was unusually solemn, his eyes revealed an unconcealable panic, and in his hand he was tightly holding the broken phone.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and a bad premonition arose.

So, he couldn't hold back any longer and asked again: "What happened? Tell me quickly!"

"Yun Xi...something happened!" Lu Xiche's breathing was trembling.

"What?!" Lin Yan was shocked when he heard this and looked at him in surprise, "Wasn't my sister-in-law fine just now? How could something go wrong?"

"Don't ask so many questions first, help find someone!"

"Okay... okay..." Lin Yan nodded, still seeming a little confused.

"I've looked all around here, but I can't find Yun Xi. Let's split up. You take the elevator, and I'll take the stairs."

"Yes."

The two began to search separately.

……

In the quiet corridor, the atmosphere seemed particularly tense and depressing.

Just now, someone unexpectedly walked towards the stairs. Afraid of being discovered what was happening between them, the originally cautious Raya became even more alert.

At this time, Shen Yunxi, who was being held hostage, did not stop. She was still trying to persuade him earnestly: "Raya, stop it! This will do you no good at all. In the end, it will only bring you disaster!"

However, Raya seemed unmoved. She snorted coldly and said, "Humph, do you think I don't know that you are saying this just to make me let you go?"

Shen Yunxi quickly shook her head and explained, "That's not the case, Raya! I'm sincerely advising you not to be stubborn anymore. Think about it, I haven't gone back yet, Lu Xiche must have noticed something wrong with me, maybe he's looking for me everywhere right now! If you can wake up in time and let me go, maybe everything can still be saved."

Hearing this, Raya hesitated for a moment, but soon returned to her previous indifference and determination: "Even if it's as you said, so what? What if I just refuse to let you go?"

Shen Yunxi carefully walked down the stairs and continued, "If you insist on not letting me go, then once Lu Xiche finds us, given his personality and methods, he will definitely not give up easily."

"Brother Che won't do that."

"How do you know he won't?"

Shen Yunxi said, "You have known him for a long time, and you should be well aware of his temperament and style of doing things. Regardless of whether there was any friendship between you in the past, if you dare to hurt me in the slightest, then I don't need to tell you the consequences you will face, right?"

Regarding Shen Yunxi's words, Raya's only rationality had long been occupied by jealousy and hatred towards her. She didn't care at all, "Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"

Shen Yunxi spoke earnestly for a long time and said all kinds of things, but Raya remained unmoved and had no intention of letting her go.

Time passed by minute by minute. If the stalemate continued, she would probably be taken away by Raya by force.

And until now, she didn't know whether Lu Xiche had come to see her. What if he didn't notice the situation here?

At this critical moment, Shen Yunxi knew that he could not just sit there and wait for death, and he had to quickly come up with a plan to escape.

Her brain began to work rapidly, trying to find a way to help her escape from the predicament.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Shen Yunxi's mind.

She pretended to be very excited and shouted at the top of her voice: "Lu Xiche, you finally came to save me!"

Upon hearing this, Raya's face suddenly changed, and her face was full of astonishment.

what?

Lu Xiche is here?

She looked panicked and turned her head to look around, trying to confirm whether Lu Xiche really appeared.

What should she do if he saw her holding Shen Yunxi hostage with a dagger?

Brother Che was cold and heartless. She had witnessed with her own eyes the brutality with which he killed his brother that day. If he saw her hurting his lover, she would surely die as Shen Yunxi had said.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. Raya's heart began to beat faster and her hand, which had been tightly holding the dagger, began to tremble uncontrollably.

At this moment, because she was too nervous, she couldn't hold the dagger in her hand firmly.

Shen Yunxi obviously noticed Laya's uneasiness, and when he heard the sound of a dagger falling to the ground with a "clang", he knew that his goal had been achieved. Shen Yunxi seized the opportunity and elbowed her in the stomach with all his strength.

Laya screamed in pain. It was so painful that she leaned back and sat directly on the stairs, holding her stomach tightly with both hands, staring at Shen Yunxi.

When he saw her quickly pick up the dagger that had just fallen to the ground, he realized that he had been tricked by her.

"Damn it!" Raya gnashed her teeth and said angrily, "How dare you lie to me!"

After Shen Yunxi got the dagger, he instantly felt confident.

"Laya, didn't you just say you weren't afraid of Lu Xiche? I just said one sentence, why are you scared?"

She sneered, then looked down at Laya and said slowly, "Or... are you really afraid that if Lu Xiche sees you holding me hostage, you'll die?"

"Shen Yunxi! Don't be so proud too soon!" Raya stared at the woman in front of her with eyes wide open, and her hatred for her reached its peak in an instant.

"How dare you deceive me? You will surely die today!"

Shen Yunxi met Laya's murderous gaze without fear, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile: "It's not certain who will live and who will die!"

"Do you think I would be so stupid as to watch you take the dagger back and hurt me again?"

Raya looked at the dagger that fell into Shen Yunxi's hand, and hated her to the core in her heart.

She could never have imagined that she would be tricked by this seemingly weak woman.

If Shen Yunxi hadn't attacked her unexpectedly just now, how could she be in such a mess? Was she frightened?

When Raya thought of this, she wished she could tear her into pieces immediately.

She must take back the initiative!

However, due to the pain in her stomach, Raya was unable to launch a counterattack immediately.

She could only endure the pain and wait until her physical condition improved a little before making any plans.

After a long while, when the pain in her stomach finally subsided, Raya took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the ground.

Shen Yunxi looked at her coldly as she stood up. Then her tough and arrogant words came into her ears, "You are really stupid. You clearly had the opportunity to escape just now, but you didn't run. Instead, you stayed. You are simply courting death!"

"Why are you running? I have a deadly weapon in my hand now. Do you think I will still be as afraid of you as I was just now?"

Shen Yunxi straightened his body, staring ahead with cold eyes, his words filled with undisguised confidence and majesty.

Laya, who was standing opposite, stared at Shen Yunxi with rage in her eyes: "Shen Yunxi, do you know how deep my hatred for you is?"

She spoke through gritted teeth, as if every word was squeezed out from between her teeth.

Hearing this, Shen Yunxi just raised her eyebrows slightly, with a sneer of disdain on her lips: "Oh? How deep is it?"

Raya's chest rose and fell violently, and it was obvious that she was extremely excited: "You are beautiful and excellent. The thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't have the heart to hire a killer to get rid of you directly!"

Faced with such vicious words from Laya, Shen Yunxi remained unusually calm, even seeming a little indifferent.

She shook her head slightly and snorted contemptuously: "Haha...this is ridiculous!"

Then, she met Laya's angry gaze without fear and asked, "Is it just because I am prettier than you, better than you in every way, and I have won Lu Xiche's heart, that you hate me and want to kill me?"

At this point, Shen Yunxi couldn't help laughing: "Haha... this reason is too absurd and ridiculous!"

"Competing with me and snatching my lover is enough to kill you."

"Rob your lover? Lu Xiche and I have been married since childhood, so how can we talk about stealing?"

Shen Yunxi thought it was very funny. She stopped laughing and her expression became serious and cold again. She continued, "Raya, I have never done anything wrong. Love is something that is mutually agreed upon and cannot be forced. Besides, I have never fought with you for anything from the beginning to the end. Lu Xiche and I love each other and there is no competition."

"In fact, the person who should reflect and be hated is not me, but you. You should think carefully about why you can't make Lu Xiche fall in love with you no matter how hard you try?"

Raya was still stubborn and said, "I did nothing wrong, why should I reflect on it?"

"You still don't understand even now? Haven't you realized the gap between you and me?"

Shen Yunxi didn't know what her brain was made of. She couldn't even understand such a simple thing.

She ran out of patience and blurted out, "Lu Xiche doesn't like green tea, nor does he like women who are scheming, and you happen to be both."
