Qiao Xi was sleeping soundly in bed, but her body's alertness made her suddenly open her eyes, and her gaze stopped at the dark window.

Her always accurate sixth sense told her: someone had entered the house.

There was no knock on the door, which meant it was an illegal break-in. In that case, he must not be a good person.

Thinking about what the system told her today about the whereabouts of the Nie father and son, Qiao Xi couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, thinking that something was wrong.

She wanted to secretly see how many people had come, but it was too dark outside and she couldn't see clearly.

"Kacha!"

The person outside stepped on something and made a crisp sound.

Hearing the noise, Qiao Xi was overjoyed. It turned out that they didn't have night vision either.

They dared to sneak into the village in such dark, I thought they were so powerful.

Now it seems that she and Xu Yi have the advantage. After all, this is their own home, and they know exactly where everything is placed.

I just don’t know if Xu Yi heard the noise outside.

"You idiot, can you be gentler?"

Qiao Xi was hesitating whether to sneak over to Xu Yi to see what was going on when she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the yard.

It was Nie Guizhou! I guessed he would come to cause trouble for Xu Yi, but I didn't expect him to come in person.

Qiao Xi's lips curled slightly, with a hint of coldness: In that case, she will not be polite.

She moved very quietly from the bed to the wardrobe, reached into the corner and took out a set of clothes to change into.

Xu Yi stood behind the window, looking outside the yard.

He put his hands behind his back, and murderous intent gradually flashed in his eyes.

A cold light flashed in the palm of his hand, and then disappeared into the darkness along with his figure.

"Master, where are we going?"

A man in black whispered to Nie Guizhou who was protected behind them.

Hearing this, Nie Guizhou frowned.

He was only in the yard that day and didn't really notice which room Xu Yi lived in.

Thinking of his beautiful sister-in-law, it seemed that he would not lose out no matter who he took away today.

Nie Guizhou's eyes shone with pink, and he pointed in a random direction: "Go that way."

Hearing his instructions, the two men in black tiptoed over there.

At this moment, there were two men in black behind Nie Guizhou.

However, the two men in black did not pay full attention to vigilance, because when they went down the mountain, they knew that they were going to deal with ordinary villagers.

For ordinary villagers like them, who are always on the edge of a knife, it is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

"uh-huh!"

A low hum came from the direction where the man in black went.

"Did you succeed?"

This was Nie Guizhou’s first thought.

The two people behind him frowned when they heard the voice, and one of them replied uncertainly, "Please wait a moment, sir."

According to their past habits, there shouldn't be any sound.

"Well!"

The man in black just became suspicious, but before he could figure it out, he suddenly heard a faint voice coming from him.

"Why are there two voices?"

No matter how dumb Nie Guizhou was, he noticed something was wrong at this moment.

If the people he brought were successful, they should have come out by now.

But after being inside for such a long time, there was no movement except for some noises.

"You two go in and see what's going on."

The two men in black looked at each other after hearing this, and then one of them stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, if we all go in, there will be no one to protect you. How about this, one of us stays behind to protect you, while the other goes in to investigate the situation?"

With someone to protect him, Nie Guizhou would naturally not refuse. He nodded happily and whispered to the other man in black to go in quickly.

The man in black moved extremely quickly and disappeared from Nie Guizhou's side in almost the blink of an eye.

However, he did not go in the direction the two men in black had originally gone, but went in another direction.

This is also the experience they have accumulated over many years of work.

Once they find something wrong, they must never take that route again. Otherwise, what is the difference between that and jumping into a trap knowing it is a trap?

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Nie Guizhou stood in the dark yard, his patience almost gone.

"What's going on? Why is there still no news after being gone for so long? No one has come back."

Hearing Nie Guizhou's question, the man in black didn't know what to say, because it was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

After thinking for a moment, he expressed his thoughts: "I don't know either."

"I don't know?" Nie Guizhou's voice was filled with surprise, which then turned into anger. "You're telling me you don't know now. Is this how you usually fool my father?"

"I'm telling you, my father treasures me very much. If anything happens to me this time, none of you will survive. Humph!"

After saying that, Nie Guizhou walked towards the direction he remembered.

I kept cursing in my heart: "What a waste. Three people, and they can't even handle such a small matter."

The man in black noticed him the moment he moved, and hurriedly stepped in front of him, his voice filled with worry: "Sir, you can't go in. We don't know what's going on inside. Why don't we leave today and come back another day when we have the chance?"

However, Nie Guizhou was used to being free and unrestrained, so he would never listen to a servant.

Without a second thought, he stretched out his hand and pushed the person in front of him away, his tone full of contempt: "Get out of here! You dare to block my way?"

The man in black was caught off guard and was pushed back two steps before steadying himself. However, he did not give up his idea.

"Sir, there might be danger inside."

But Nie Guizhou ignored him and didn't even pause.

Qiao Xi was hiding in the dark. When she heard the noise, she was about to take action when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.

But that was nothing. The most important thing was that she couldn't break free from that man's hand.

In her world, this had never happened before.

The man had a pair of big hands that almost wrapped her entire fist in his palms.

Although she couldn't see the current situation in front of her, Qiao Xi knew that he was not short, but she suddenly felt a little depressed standing there.

She tried hard to break free from the man's hand again, and at the same time she couldn't help but feel surprised: I didn't expect that the person brought by Nie Guizhou was so capable.

But now that he was in front of her, how could he succeed so easily?

Suddenly, a cold light flashed before his eyes. It seemed as if the cold light had eyes and attacked the hand of the person who grabbed him.

There was movement on her side, and the person who caught her also made movement.

He just stepped slightly aside to avoid the cold light, and his other hand also moved, but the target was indeed the cold light.

No matter how skilled Qiao Xi was, she was no match for the man's strength. Soon, the cold light in her hand disappeared.

That’s not all, she was also restrained by that person.

Qiao Xi is petite, but the man in black in front of her gives her a sense of familiarity.

"who are you?"

Qiao Xi asked directly.
