The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Sure enough, Xu Yi didn't mention her until he got on the ox cart.

Qiao Xi refused to let her bear all of Nie Shufeng's anger alone.

She grabbed Xu Yi's sleeve and said quickly, "What about me? If his father, Nie Shufeng, comes, how can I handle it alone?"

Xu Yi lowered his head, looked at his grabbed sleeve, then looked up at her anxious face. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said, "If both of us are not at home, wouldn't it be confirmed that Nie Guizhou's disappearance is related to our family?

Also, given Nie Shufeng's personality, he would not choose to take action even if he sent someone down to investigate.

Because if someone died, it would undoubtedly tell the government office that they were hiding nearby.

So, sister-in-law, you can just rest assured at home."

Xu Yi paused and continued, "Of course, if sister-in-law is still worried, we can switch. Sister-in-law can send them to the gate of Lingxiao City, and Yan Zheng will stay at home to guard them. How about that?"

After saying that, Xu Yi looked straight at Qiao Xi, as if waiting for her choice.

Qiao Xi glanced at the people in the car, then looked at Xu Yi's serious face and suddenly wanted to curse.

This gives a choice?

Although she had some kung fu skills, she didn't have the strength to fight against these five strong men.

I couldn't help but pout and replied in a muffled voice: "I'm at home."

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows, then nodded, and kindly reminded her to remember to lock the door from the inside.

After saying that, he drove the ox cart to the village entrance.

Soon Xu Yi and his car disappeared into the darkness. Qiao Xi then turned into the yard and locked the door.

When I returned to the room, I saw the floor was a mess. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that a fight had taken place there.

She had no choice but to clean up. By the time she finished, the night was getting deeper and deeper.

After returning to the room, she first changed out of her black clothes, and then lay down on the bed, but she did not sleep, because she was afraid that Nie Shufeng would not be able to find his son, and would go crazy and kill her while she was sleeping.

I don't know how much time passed, but just when Qiao Xi's eyes began to feel sore and her sleepiness began to wake up, she suddenly heard a soft sound outside.

The sound was so small that if she was asleep, she probably wouldn't have heard it even if she was alert.

Josie was very glad that she had not slept at all.

For safety reasons, she slightly turned her body so that her back was facing the wall and she could always see the door and window.

If someone wants to sneak in, they will have to choose one of these two options.

After she completed this series of actions, she heard some movement near the window.

Looking closely, you can vaguely see that the window frame seems to be darker than other places.

It looks like they chose windows.

Qiao Xi deliberately made her breathing heavier and even snored slightly, so as to make the other party relax his vigilance.

But why does it smell like smoke?

Although the smell of smoke was not strong, Qiao Xi could smell it because she was awake.

There's definitely something strange about lighting a cigarette at this time.

Under the cover of darkness, Qiao Xi casually covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, which not only reduced the amount of smoke she inhaled, but also prevented the other party from noticing.

She guessed the smoke must have put her to sleep, making her snore louder than before.

Sure enough, when she raised her voice slightly, she saw the person who came in breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and whispered to the outside of the window, "You can come in."

Hearing that it was a man who was speaking, Qiao Xi couldn't help but curse in her heart.

Fortunately, her soul is not of this world.

Otherwise, if a man entered another woman's bedroom late at night, the woman would have to die to prove her innocence.

Because it was too dark, Qiao Xi squinted her eyes and could only see some dark shadows, but could not tell how many people came in.

But judging from the footsteps, there seemed to be three people.

Please, it's such a small room, why so many people come in?

Qiao Xi couldn't help but start rolling her eyes.

But just when he turned halfway, a faint light suddenly appeared in the house.

Afraid that her pretense of sleep would be exposed, she quickly closed her eyes, and now she couldn't even see the vague shadow.

Qiao Xi could only rely on her hearing and body instincts to determine whether she was in danger.

"Boss, there's nothing here."

One of them whispered.

"Have you searched the other rooms? Did you find any clues?"

"We searched all the other rooms and found no clues. Besides, there was no one there."

"No one? Impossible. The people who came here with you said that there were two people in this family, a man and a woman. Now there is only a woman here, so where did the man go?"

"this--"

"Let's go look for them. They are just an ordinary village family. If they did something, there must be some traces left behind."

Soon, Qiao Xi heard the door open, followed by footsteps.

However, she could still feel a strange breath in the room, and it seemed that there was someone else staying in the room.

Hearing the man talking about traces, Qiao Xi began to recall the details of her handling just now. After making sure that nothing was missed, she felt relieved.

All she had to do now was wait for these people to leave on their own initiative.

"Still haven't found it?"

The voice called the head came again.

The sound was quieter than before, and Qiao Xi guessed that the head must have left her room.

"No. Boss, is the young master's coming here just a random excuse? Is he actually going into the city? After all, he has done this many times before."

They have been following Nie Shufeng for many years, so they have some understanding of what kind of person Nie Guizhou is.

When he was in the Nie family, he lied to his master many times in order to go out and have a good time.

The voice on the other end was full of warning: "You can say this in front of me, but never in front of the master. Otherwise, if the master gets upset, I won't be able to save you."

"Sorry, Boss. I'll take note of this and I won't do it again."

The man who was taught a lesson quickly admitted his mistake.

You are the only one who can say what your son is like; no one else can say a word.

Hearing this, Qiao Xi thought that Nie Shufeng was probably a very protective person.

"Boss, what should we do now? Should we stay here and wait and see or—"

"Let's search the village again. This is an emergency, and it's so dark at night, so the young master shouldn't have gotten far. Let's also check if our people have left any traces."

A mark? And this thing?

Qiao Xi, who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, felt her heart pounding again.

How could she have overlooked this? Specially trained personnel, when on a mission, would likely leave some marks on their own people, so that if anything unexpected happened, they could provide timely rescue or continue unfinished work.

"Yes, I'll go check at the door."

"Wait, remember to be careful, don't let anyone find out that something is wrong here."

"Yes."

Qiao Xi heard the footsteps leaving again.

"Boss, I'll go to other rooms to see if there are any marks."

"Well, go ahead."
