The night wind blew in from outside the window, lifting the curtains beside the window.

In the dark and silent room, Qiao Ruyi could only hear her own nervous and rapid breathing and the thunderous heartbeat.

The hard muzzle of the gun moved playfully down her spine, inch by inch, slowly and terrifyingly.

Finally, the muzzle of the gun rested steadily on her lower back. With the moonlight streaming in, Qiao Ruyi could vaguely see her fingers trembling slightly on the desk.

How come there is someone in Ling Xiu De’s study?

Could it be that she was discovered by the villa security while she was rummaging through things just now?

But shouldn’t the security guard have come in with great fanfare? Why did he turn off the lights and hide in the dark?

Before Qiao Ruyi could think about it, the footsteps outside the study door were getting closer and closer.

"Miss Tang? Are you ready?"

The middle-aged woman's urging voice was right at the door, and the gun pointed at her behind her showed no sign of moving away.

The door handle of the study turned with a "click", and Qiao Ruyi was startled and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

The moment the study door opened, "Ring——"

The phone rang rapidly downstairs.

The footsteps at the door paused, and he muttered, "Which room did you go to inspect?"

Then he hurriedly turned around and went downstairs to answer the phone.

When the footsteps faded away, Qiao Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.

but--

The gun behind him remained motionless.

Qiao Ruyi lowered her voice, "Are you here to look for something too?"

Otherwise, the servant would have rushed in a long time ago, so this person must have sneaked in as well.

The person behind him didn't answer, but just let out an extremely short chuckle, which was not clear to the ear.

Qiao Ruyi didn't have time to waste with him, so she continued in a low voice, "You find what you're looking for. I'll be leaving now. Let's not expose each other."

The other party still didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he didn't want to let the person go.

Time was running out, and she had to get out as soon as possible to avoid arousing the servant's suspicion.

She frowned, and with her fingers on the table, she calmly picked up the conductive pen she had just used, turned around and stabbed it behind her.

But her speed was far slower than that of the person behind her. The moment she turned around and raised her hand, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her over to the gap between the bookcase and the window.

She was pinned between the man and the wall. With the moonlight coming through the window, she could vaguely see that the man holding her wrist was a tall man. Like her, he was wearing a hat and mask that covered half of his face. His face was even more unclear in the backlight, as he was wrapped in black clothes.

The air around him was so cold that Qiao Ruyi's heart was beating so wildly that it almost jumped out of her throat.

Not afraid, not nervous, but——

"That's too late."

A very low voice fell into her ears, and Qiao Ruyi's heart trembled suddenly.

I raised my head and suddenly met the pair of dark eyes in the darkness.

There was no time to investigate carefully, and the next second, the entire villa was brightly lit inside and out.

The high-pitched voice of the middle-aged woman downstairs echoed throughout the villa—

"Security! Mr. Ling said no one from the property management team contacted him just now. Quickly arrest that woman upstairs!"

It was discovered!

Qiao Ruyi subconsciously wanted to grab her toolbox and escape, but before she could take a step, she was pressed against the wall.

"Want to be caught?" The man's low voice sounded in her ears.

Qiao Ruyi asked hurriedly, "How can we escape if we don't go out?"

The man chuckled, pinched her chin and made her turn her head to look out the window, "Jump down."

These three words made Qiao Ruyi's breath catch. The floors of this villa were extremely high. If she jumped down, she would not only die but also break her arms and legs. Then, let alone escape, she could only lie on the ground and wait for people to catch her.

"Don't you dare?" the man asked with a smile, "You have the courage to come in and steal things, but you don't have the courage to jump down?"

A burst of hurried footsteps came from the stairs on the second floor. It only took a few seconds for the security guards to come in.

Qiao Ruyi had no time to hesitate. He was right. If he didn't jump down and went out directly, he would be caught.

She suddenly turned her head and met the man's dark eyes in the darkness.

"If I fall and become stupid, will you still want me?"

She asked quite seriously. The man looked at her for a second and smiled softly, "I can't fall you."

After that, he quickly placed both of her hands on his neck and said, "Hold tight."

Qiao Ruyi didn't ask anything. She immediately stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. The next second, someone lifted her up by her thighs and wrapped her legs around his thin waist like a koala.

Without a second's hesitation, the man put one arm around her waist tightly, and with the other hand he immediately supported himself on the open window sill and jumped down nimbly.

The moment she jumped, the evening breeze blew in her face. Qiao Ruyi subconsciously buried her head in the man's shoulder and hugged him tighter with her hands and feet.

The sound of a rope descending rang in her ears, and she opened her eyes to see the man holding her in one hand and pulling a climbing rope down rapidly with the other.

At this moment, she was hanging tightly on him, like a large human pendant.

As he landed steadily, the light in the study upstairs came on.

The climbing rope was quickly retracted, and then Qiao Ruyi was led by someone's hand and strode into the invisible night.

......

Under the street light, the man who was striding forward holding her hand was tall and slender, with a black windbreaker zipped up to the top, covering his smooth chin.

Although he was wearing a mask, it still couldn't hide his three-dimensional facial features. His chestnut brown hair was hidden under the black baseball cap, and only a pair of deep eyes were revealed under the brim of the hat.

His legs were too long, his steps were too big, and he walked too fast, so Qiao Ruyi could hardly keep up.

The man stopped only when he reached her light purple sports car parked on the side of the road.

"Quick! Look over there! Mr. Ling said we must find the person!"

The sound of footsteps of a group of security guards came from not far away. Qiao Ruyi's heart tightened. The security guards who came out of Yunqing Villa were looking for them.

No, Qiao Ru looked up at the man with calm eyes. He was not discovered.

It was her that the security guards were looking for.

Just as she was about to open the car door, she saw the man swiftly take off his coat and wrap it around her. Then he took off the baseball cap on her head, and her thick long curly hair cascaded down, covering half of her back.

"Ling——"

Before she could open her mouth, the rest of the words were blocked by his lips.

Ling Che's warm big hand was clasped on her lower back, as wide as a palm, and he pushed her against the side of the sports car and kissed her.

His familiar scent spread across Qiao Ruyi's nose, and the familiar way of kissing made her heart tremble slightly, and she grabbed his clothes around his waist tightly.

I heard the hurried footsteps of a group of men.

"Where did the people go?"

"Damn, I didn't find the person, but I ran into a couple kissing on the street."

From their perspective, the tall man pushed the woman against the side of the car, and his thick long hair covered most of the woman's face, making it impossible to see her appearance clearly.

But just looking at the man's figure and profile, and the woman's exposed calves and slender figure, you can tell they are a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Coupled with the expensive sports car, it is obvious that they can't afford to offend rich kids.

The men wisely did not disturb them and ran around them in other directions.
