Cheng Xue's always calm heart is chaotic at the moment.

For a moment, fear and anger bound her tightly like a tightly intertwined silk web, making her unable to move.

Only the heartbeat is like a drum in this quiet night!

Trying her best to suppress the chaotic fear and anger in her heart, she slowly put down the rippling water glass, and asked softly: "I don't know where Your Excellency is sacred, so I can't help but say what I mean directly." ”

There was silence for a few breaths before the deep voice of the man with the gun came from behind him.

"I don't have any intentions, I just want to stay here for one night, and if Miss is willing to be accommodating, it will be the best. ”

Listening to the voice is slightly unsteady, guessing that the age seems to be a young male.

Knowing what was coming, she frowned secretly.

If it's easy to say that everything is accommodating, it means that if you can't cooperate with him, you don't mind killing people and killing people!

However, since she could hear that the person's voice was a little unstable, she guessed that the person who came was afraid that he was injured.

Slightly let go of the heart to mention it, she thought for a moment and then tried her best to say softly: "Okay, although Brother Tai is relieved to stay here for one night, I will have someone prepare it for you if you need anything, and tomorrow you leave by yourself, and my memory has always been bad, and I won't remember today's events tomorrow." ”

Having said that, she was extremely angry in her heart for the person who broke into her house in the middle of the night and kidnapped him!

The ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty turned a thousand times in her heart.

If you find an opportunity to bring him down, you must torture him well, and let him know what it means to be in pain and not to live, and what it is to be self-inflicted.

"Mademoiselle is very smart. ”

As if guessing what she was thinking, the gunman sneered: "I don't need anything, as long as Miss doesn't move, just stay quiet, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing through the intention, Cheng Xue was not annoyed, but thought more carefully about the cause and effect.

A person who was injured and hurriedly hid in her house was probably trying to escape from someone else's pursuit, and the wound might not have a chance to be bandaged properly.

Although she is a businessman, in this troubled world, she also has a few capable guards who take turns guarding the mansion day and night.

To be able to evade her guards and sneak into the kitchen, someone must have some ability.

Despite this, she could still hear that his breath was unsteady, and he thought that he was not lightly injured.

A man with a gun but seriously wounded, a weak woman but at home.

The advantage and disadvantage are five or five!

The enemy and the enemy are deadlocked, whoever shows the flaws first will lose!

She shouldn't be in a hurry, in her home, and it was he who was hurt.

Cheng Xue figured it out and stopped trying to communicate with the visitor, gently stroked the fast heartbeat, slowly took a deep breath, and all self-control and reason gradually returned.

Slowly pour out the water from the cup, and try to calmly put the top hair tip from the brocade box on the cabinet into the carved kettle.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was not enough, so I picked up a few half-dried jasmine petals and a few pieces of rock sugar and put them in the pot, washed them with hot water, smelled the fragrance, tasted sweet and refreshing!

The man has always been very good at cultivating his qi and kung fu, but when he saw the woman who was calmly sipping the flower tea with his back to him, he couldn't help but feel a little blocked in his heart.

"Miss is really patient, is she planning to waste time with me?!"

The kitchen lights were on, but since the woman couldn't turn her head, he could only see her long black hair loose over her shoulders.

Her slender figure was wrapped in a loose and wide coat, perhaps because she was wearing Western pajamas, revealing a small piece of crystal white shoulders, and her slender white fingers held the petals that slowly bloomed in the glass, which made people feel a little dry for no reason.

"Maybe you'd like to drink it too, sir?"

She smiled and took the other cup, poured the fragrant flower tea and handed it to her.

Looking at the flower tea that was steadily handed to his eyes, the man was slightly stunned.

Looking down at the wound on his left abdomen, although it was briefly bandaged, there was still bright red blood rushing out of the part of his left hand.

If he wanted to compete with the woman in front of him, he would probably lose.

After a little thought, he cleared his throat and said, "I wonder if Miss has something she wants but can't get?"

Hearing that he was going to talk about the conditions, Lu Chengxue was even more relieved, and she was not hypocritical, and took the opportunity to propose: "Naturally, I have always been very short of money." ”

He curled the corners of his lips slightly: "I don't know how much Miss wants?"

Cheng Xue secretly thought that if she said less, it would make people suspicious, so she raised an extremely high number.

Asking for a price and bargaining on the spot is the way to do business!

"If there are 100,000 oceans, I will treat my brother as a guest. ”

I didn't want the person behind me to say yes, without the slightest hesitation!

I don't know if he's really so generous, or if he plans to pay off the debt afterwards?!

Feeling the gun collected by the person behind her, she turned around slowly and hesitantly, only to see a tall man in a black woolen coat.

Seeing that he was only twenty-four or five years old, his eyebrows were thick like fine ink, his eyes were as white as snow, and although his face was bloodstained, it was difficult to hide his handsome and lofty spirits.

Cheng Xue not only secretly said that it was a pity, but Gongzi Ruyu had to be with Xiaoxiao.

"Please also ask the young lady to bandage me, and I will pay for it afterwards. ”

Although the man opened his mouth to beg for help, his posture was not humble at all, and Cheng Xue was even more heartbroken.

But in the middle of the night to get up to drink water, but was forced to walk around at the moment of life and death, her heart is naturally very depressed, she is not the master of repaying grievances with virtue, she has always emphasized repaying grievances directly!

Looking through the kitchen door to the second-floor bedroom, there was a loaded Browning pistol on the first floor of her bedside table, but it was far from quenching her thirst.

He quietly glanced at the steel kitchen knife on the board not far from his right hand, two meters away from her, this distance was enough for him to shoot, and a little closer was the mallet in the laundry tub, the size was appropriate......

He was secretly guessing how long he would have to bleed before he could use a mallet to put him down, but saw that the man opposite raised his right hand with the gun again.

Cheng Xue chuckled in her heart, could it be that he found out that he intended to kill people?!

Squeezing out an innocent smile, but clenching her fists behind her back, she carefully rubbed to the right.

The man slowly handed the pistol from his right hand to his left, and his free right hand easily removed the delicate gold watch from his left wrist and sent it to her.

"Miss, this is a handmade watch I bought in a century-old store in England the year before last, the price was equivalent to 3,000 oceans at that time, although it was brought for a few days, it should still be worth some money, how about it be a deposit?" The man looked at her with a smile.

Cheng Xue looked at the well-made gold watch and was slightly stunned before reacting.

It's a bribe! But it's also a threat!

Although the watch of 3000 oceans is precious, it is not enough to calm Chengxue's anger.

However, after ten years of the Republic of China, foreign forces are eyeing the country, so the customs control over entry and exit has become stricter, and people who can easily enter and exit the country and do not care about such a valuable gold watch must be born rich and noble, and there may be forces behind them that should not be underestimated.

So he used this watch to remind her that she was worth getting into trouble for a moment of anger?!

After Cheng Xue figured it out, it was as if someone had choked seven inches, and she was even more angry, she had always acted with the Sijin Ji as the priority, and naturally she didn't want to set up an enemy for the Sijin Ji who didn't know the details, so she couldn't let Ji put him down.

She could only secretly grit her teeth and silently recite "Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter" a few times, and then she let go of her unconsciously pinch purple hands and took the gold watch in his hand, and angrily found a medical box to bandage him.

Cheng Xue lowered her head and scalded the scissors with hot water, and while cutting the blood-stained clothes that stuck to the wound for him, she asked unhappily, "How is my guard?"

"Just fainted. ”

The man replied lightly, even if he sat casually on a low stool in the kitchen, he did not lose his dignity in the slightest.

Although it is inconvenient for Chengxue to turn his face with him, it is difficult to calm down in the end.

Ignoring the warehouse he still hadn't put down, he pretended not to see the anesthetic, and hated to directly enlarge the wound for him with a knife, and took out the bullet to stitch it up.

The knife cut through the flesh and made the man snort, his eyes swept over the anesthetic at the bottom of the wooden medicine box, and then at the woman crouching in front of him with her head bowed slightly, she was slowly and carefully stitching up his wound with a needle.

The man's right hand gripped the edge of the bench hard, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out.

His gaze swept over Cheng Xue's slender and white curved neck, with a sharp arc in the grace, which made him grit his teeth and barely hold back his mouth from speaking or shouting pain.

The Western clock on the wall has only passed a quarter of an hour, but it is as long as a century.

When she finished stitching, he thanked weakly, but his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Since she didn't plan to send him to the police station, Cheng Xue placed him in a guest room in the outer courtyard and made plans tomorrow.

The next day, Fu Huaiyi woke up in pain.

When he woke up, it was bright, and he sat up on the soft pillow embroidered with large magnolias, and looked at the room he was in.

A full set of Nanmu furniture, carved with quaint auspicious patterns.

The windows are made of Western glass, and the chandeliers are also European-style crystal lamps, with a little harmony in the contradiction between Chinese and Western.

Recalling that he was chased and killed yesterday, he had no choice but to hide in the home of a strange woman, but he didn't know what the identity of this woman was, and he was frowning and thinking about it but was interrupted by a "squeak".

But I saw a young man standing in front of the door that was pushed open, smiling and greeting him with a black and black Chinese medicine: "Young Master Cousin, you are awake, this is the medicine prescribed by the doctor for you, drink it while it is hot." ”

Glancing at the smiling young man, Fu Huaiyi was silent for a while, and then he realized that he was the young master in the mouth of the cousin, thinking that this was the life experience arranged for him by the woman he met yesterday in order to conceal the truth.

After thanking him, he pinched his nose and drank the bitter and hot medicine.

Fang wanted to inquire about the woman he had seen yesterday, and saw a little girl running to his bed with joy.

The girl was only seven or eight years old, delicately dressed and cute, with fine velvet braids, and called his cousin expectantly and enthusiastically, and her little pink face was full of curiosity and inquiry.

Fu Huaiyi chatted with her patiently for a long time, and learned that yesterday's woman was named Lu Chengxue, who was the young owner of the famous home shop Sijin Ji in the city, and the little girl was her sister Lu Chengyu.

It is said that Lu Chengxue explained to his family that he was a cousin from afar, and this time he came to Nanjing to run errands, was robbed of his property and was injured by robbers, so he took the liberty to disturb and wait for the injury to heal before leaving.

After inquiring about the situation of the main family, he excused himself to let Lu Chengyu, who was full of stomach problems, leave with the little maid who claimed to be winter and summer.

A man lay on a soft but slightly cool futon, staring at the azure silk tent overhead, thinking about the ins and outs.

This time he went south to go out, his whereabouts were very secretive, but he didn't want to be assassinated by someone of unknown origin when he passed through Nanjing on the way back, and he was injured and ended up here, I am afraid that some cronies will leak his whereabouts!

Who it is, but it is difficult to find out for a while, and now there is still a long distance from Fengtian, and if one assassination fails, he is very likely to experience a second assassination!

It is faster to return to Fengtian by land, but if you take the water route, it is more difficult for the other party to ambush......

Fu Huaiyi stroked the place where he was injured and bandaged, and couldn't help but hesitate and worry for a while.

In the past, Zhao Songling could give him some advice, but now that he is separated from him, although he has left a secret number, he doesn't know when he will be able to find this, or if the assassins find him first......

Now he can't act rashly, he can only wait, sigh lowly, and think that the woman last night accepted his conditions and covered them up in front of his family, it is estimated that he will not harm himself for the time being, so he might as well recuperate here for a few days.

He had just drunk Chinese medicine, and because of the sedative ingredients added to the medicine, and he was injured and lost too much blood and was deprived, he soon fell into a dream again.

Fu Huaiyi was in a daze for three or four days, half-awake and half-asleep, and in the past few days, only the little maid Dongxia, the maid Qiulan and Chengyu occasionally came to see him, but he never saw the woman Lu Chengxue who met on the first night.

The few days of recuperation are the most free days in these years, and there is nothing else to do except chat with Chengyu, so I can't help but feel a little depressed.

And when the night was quiet, someone suddenly knocked on the door a few times, and he hurriedly held the pistol under his pillow tightly in his hand before opening his mouth to invite someone in.
