All Chapters_Chapter 172 Showdown
The sound of broken dishes outside the door was particularly abrupt in the whole room, and Ji Li dropped the spoon in his hand and ran out as soon as possible.
Another bullet shot in from the floor-to-ceiling window, Lu Xiran was closest to Shen Chu, and immediately pounced on Shen Chu and threw Shen Chu to the ground.
Ji Li frowned coldly, Elena just came out, and seeing that Lu Xiran knocked Shen Chu down, Ji Li turned around and pushed Elena behind the kitchen. Then a string of phone numbers was dialed.
Another bullet came in, striking the marble table with a cold-hard sound.
Shen Chu, who was pressed to the ground by Lu Xiran, had already recovered from the shock just now, and he didn't care that his arm was pressed against the broken bowl, and he was hugged by Lu Xiran and rolled twice.
It wasn't until she was brought to safety that the gunfire outside stopped abruptly.
Lu Xiran had already pulled out his gun, and while blocking in front of Shen Chu, he turned his head to look at Shen Chu: "You're not injured, are you?"
Shen Chu shook his head and was about to speak, but he saw that the white shirt sleeves on Lu Xiran's arms had been dyed blood-red.
Ji Li's abrupt mobile phone rang suddenly, and Lu Xiran pulled Shen Chu to hide behind the closet, watching Ji Li answer the phone.
The other party said a few words, Ji Li just responded lightly, and then hung up the phone.
Ji Li had already swaggered briskly in the direction of Shen Chu, grabbing the arm that was bubbling with blood beads that the woman had just accidentally pressed against the ceramic.
It wasn't until he confirmed that the injury on the woman's arm was not serious that he looked at Elena and Lu Xiran coldly and said, "Go upstairs." β
"Go to the hospital. Shen Chu naturally broke away from Ji Li's hand, then pulled Lu Xiran's uninjured arm and opened the door.
Lu Xiran turned his head sideways and glanced down at his arm, the bullet just now just scratched over, and it didn't hurt the vital point.
Glancing at Shen Chu toughly, Lu Xiran said, "Listen to Ji Li, go upstairs." β
The four of them came upstairs, and Shen Chu still looked at Ji Li uneasily: "Is it safe to go upstairs?
"Bulletproof glass, don't worry. Lu Xiran walked to the front of the floor-to-ceiling window, stretched out his hand and gently flicked the glass window, and it was clear at a glance.
Shen Chu never knew that Ji Li lived in such a desperate life, so that even the glass installed in his home was bulletproof glass?
How many secrets Ji Li was hiding from her, she didn't dare to think about it in detail.
She didn't say a word, turned around and went to get the medicine box, and then pulled Lu Xiran to sit down on the sofa and help him treat his wounds.
Lu Xiran saved her again, and was injured for her, although it was not a serious injury, but it was an injury after all.
Shen Chu bandaged his wounds very carefully and seriously. Due to Shen Chu's serious silence, the entire room instantly fell into a strange aura, unable to extricate himself.
Elena subconsciously glanced at Ji Li's expression standing next to her, Ji Li's eyes were very heavy, and she couldn't see her emotions at all, she just looked at Shen Chu and Lu Xiran, her eyes couldn't take her eyes off, but she didn't stop it.
With a touch of sneer on the corner of Lu Xiran's lips, he glanced down at Shen Chu.
"Junior girl, your little hands are so smooth and soft, they are my favorite. "Lu Xiran is not serious, from the first day he met Lu Xiran, Shen Chu knew it.
I thought I was very grateful to him for saving his life, but this is really not a good word.
The hand that bandaged the wound used some force. Although the wound is not deep, it is a place where blood is flowing.
Lu Xiran gasped.
"Junior girl, you can't abuse a patient like this just because your husband is jealous!" Lu Xiran sounded with a playful voice above his head, and his low and sexy voice was like an electric current passing through.
Shen Chu looked at Lu Xiran and said very calmly, "Do you know what the surgeon is best at?"
"What?" Lu Xiran asked Shen Chu innocently.
There was a harmless smile on the corner of Shen Chu's mouth: "Stitching." So until I stitch your mouth shut with my medical skills, will you be silent?"
Lu Xiran licked his lips lightly, and for the first time felt that Shen Chu, a woman, was a little ruthless......
As soon as Shen Chu had treated Lu Xiran's wounds, the sound of the doorbell came from the door.
Ji Li turned around to open the door, only to see Zhao Xiao pressing a man wearing a black cap and a strong suit. Zhao Xiao was followed by two other entourages, carrying a sniper rifle in his hand.
Lu Xiran glanced at the situation at the door and said to Elena: "Nana, take Shen Chu up to rest." β
Elena approached in the direction of Shen Chu, and Shen Chu didn't seem to want to leave, but looked at the man who was handcuffed by Zhao Xiao and wore a black cap on his head, and asked coldly, "Did you shoot the gun?"
Lu Xiran felt that the junior girl had robbed him of his lines, he should have said this, right?
The man seemed to be ready to be killed and didn't speak, but Zhao Xiao next to him opened his mouth, looked at Ji Li and said, "Team Ji...... Fourth master, the person was caught at the scene, and the sniper site has been sealed off on the spot. The gun did not have the man's fingerprints on it, but it was caught. β
Although the man's wrists were still handcuffed, the expression on his face did not mean to surrender at all.
"Who is the target?" Ji Li said to Zhao Xiao.
However, this time, before Zhao Xiao could speak, the man with the peaked cap had already spoken to Elena, who was standing at the back: "Mr. Ai is not blind, all because of a daughter like you who turns her elbow out!"
The man pointed the finger at Ji Li: "This is the murderer who killed Mr. Ai!, you cheap woman, even shielded the murderer who killed Mr. Ai, you are not worthy of being Mr. Ai's daughter!!"
In the last two sentences, the man held his breath and yelled at Elena, and even ran in the direction of Elena while Zhao Xiao was not paying attention.
Shen Chu was the closest to the gangster, and as soon as his long legs stretched, he tripped the gangster, and the gangster fell face to the ground with his hands handcuffed behind him.
Shen Chu bent his knees and knelt on the man's back with one leg, the man was handcuffed in his hands, and he was instantly pressed to the ground and couldn't turn over.
"The shooting technique is so bad, don't choose long-range shooting next time, since the purpose is so obvious, you will see the target in the future and then pull the trigger, don't act impulsively when you have the upper hand, it comes down to the above three points, you are called stupid, hopelessly stupid!!" Shen Chu didn't know where his temper came from, so he opened his mouth and straightened out so many rules.
Lu Xiran was protecting Elena at this moment, he originally thought that this accident was aimed at him, but he never expected that the other party's target would be Elena.
Elena stood behind Lu Xiran without saying a word, and Ji Li stretched out her hand and gently pulled the angry little woman up from the gangster's body.
Then he looked at Zhao Xiao and said, "Give the person to Oujingcheng." β
Zhao Xiao turned around and left with the gangsters, and Lu Xiran turned around and asked Elena: "Since the other party has found a position and wants to shoot from a distance, it means that he clearly knows where you live, and during the time you came back, didn't you know that someone was following you?"
Elena shook her head, pursed her lips from the cherry blossom petals, and stood there without saying a word, looking a little frightened, but Elena didn't act obviously, confirming that Elena is usually a moody person, so Shen Chu naturally classified Elena's little fright as her This is her excellent acting skills.
Elena's father Albert, Shen Chu also knew a lot from Ji Yu and Ou Mengmeng's mouths, at least Shen Chu thought that a girl who grew up in the rain of bullets since she was a child would not be scared for a shooting.
Of course, it is not excluded that Albert has put Elena in a fairy tale world that does not know anything about the world since he was a child. But somehow, anyway, Shen Chu just felt that Elena's current expression was a bit contrived.
Lu Xiran looked at Ji Li, and his tone was a little blamed: "You are Nana's guardian, you didn't even expect that there would be danger around her, if it was Nana who had an accident today......"
"Xiran, don't say it. I deliberately didn't let the Lebanese follow me, and I also needed to have my own private space. Elena interrupted Lu Xiran's unfinished words.
Shen Chu sat on the sofa quietly, looking at the three people who were facing each other like an outsider.
Lu Xiran looked directly at Ji Li and said, "No matter what, there can be no more incidents like this, Nana can't live downstairs for the time being." β
After Lu Xiran finished speaking, he paused for a moment before facing Elena and said in his playful and low voice: "Why don't you live upstairs with Ji Siye before the downstairs is repaired, lest such a thing happen again." β
Ji Li has been silently looking at Lu Xiran and Elena, as if these two are singing double reeds, and he is just a supporting character standing next to him.
Shen Chu was good, and he directly became an audience next to him.
Lu Xiran is for Elena's safety, in fact, Shen Chu is understandable. But saying it in such a joking tone, Lu Xiran wanted to see Ji Li's performance and response more.
Let Mrs. Ji and Elena live together, Ji Li categorically will not agree to such a thing, if he will agree, he will not let Elena go back to Ji's house to live in the first place.
He won't let Baiqiao arrange for Elena to look for a house outside.
"I will arrange for Zhao Xiao to follow Nana, if Lu Shao is really not at ease, it is okay for Nana to be taken care of by you. With a small stretch of hand, Nana will definitely be protected. As soon as Ji Li's words came out, he pushed the topic back to Ji Li.
A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Xiran's dark eyes. After all, Ji Li said this obviously, saying that he wanted to hand over Nana to him to take care of, obviously mocking his meddling.
Lu Xiran half-squinted, and the breath around him was a little cold, but he shook the arm that had just been bandaged, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "I want to have this ability, how could I get hurt when I just protected the junior girl, Fourth Master, right?"
Elena was sandwiched in the middle, her plain white face was wearing delicate light makeup, and there was a faint pink under her thin skin like cicada wings, she lowered her voice, and looked at Lu Xiran with some grievances: "Xiran, don't talk about it, the windows downstairs will be reinstalled, and I will stay in a hotel for a few days." β
A gentle voice popped out of Elena's throat, and the tail note also had a shallow rise, which made the listener feel particularly pleasant. Although he is the height of a supermodel, the moment he lowers his eyes, he completely shows the gentle bird according to the human posture.
Shen Chu felt that if he was a man, he might be moved!
"Don't!" Shen Chu, who had been watching the play, suddenly stood up and walked around to Elena, looking at Elena with big black and white eyes, and said bluntly: "Just stay here, it just so happens that Sister-in-law Qin has gone home to visit relatives these days." Many people are also lively, you are Ji Li's savior's woman, how can we put you in danger? That's it, wait for the downstairs to be renovated before moving down. I'll help you make your bed. β
After Shen Chu finished speaking, he patted Elena on the shoulder with a smile, like the aura of a hostess, smiled at Elena gently, and then turned around and really went to help Elena make the bed.
Lu Xiran just casually proposed, and he knew Elena's determination to Ji Li very well. But from Ji Li's attitude just now, it is obvious that Ji Li will never let Elena live in.
But as soon as Shen Chu suddenly spoke, the whole thing took a 360-degree turn in an instant, which made Lu Xiran absolutely surprised.
In fact, the people who had the accident were not only Lu Xiran, but also Elena and Ji Li.
Ji Li quietly glanced at Lu Xiran and Elena, then turned around and walked in the direction of Shen Chu.
Shen Chu really helped Elena make the bed in the guest room, and Ji Li stepped forward and reached out and touched Shen Chu's forehead.
The man's good-looking hands instantly covered her forehead, clean and fair palms, sparse palm lines, and the bones on the long fingers were distinct, slightly protruding, like bamboo, beautiful and slender but not feminine.
The slight heat caressed her forehead, and she seemed to be able to smell his crisp fragrance from his neatly trimmed fingertips.
Shen Chuxin's tip trembled, grabbed the man's wrist, and pulled the man's hand away: "What are you doing?"
"Let's see if Mrs. Ji has a fever. β
"What's the matter, I have a fever, so you tell me to drink more boiling water, right?" Shen Chu knocked the man away with his body: "Go aside, don't you see me making a bed for your junior?"
On a normal person, Shen Chu's behavior is called abnormal.
Ji Li's low voice sounded in Shen Chu's ears: "Mrs. Ji, taking care of Elena is my unshirkable task, but it doesn't mean that I want you to be wronged, nor does it mean that I want her to live with us for personal protection." β
Anyway, these words completely hooked Shen Chu's temper, and he threw the quilt aside casually, Shen Chu raised his eyes to look at Ji Li and pushed him.
Ji Li took a step back and happened to be leaning against the wall. Shen Chu approached Ji Li, put him on the wall with one hand, raised his eyes, and looked at the man in front of him who was a lot taller than her: "I'm not aggrieved, I'm not aggrieved at all!
The woman tiptoed and gritted her teeth and shouted at him, which was actually quite cute.
Although I really wanted to remind Mrs. Ji that the literal meaning was wrong, Mr. Ji still honestly didn't mention this stubble, but looked at Shen Chu and said, "Wife, ......"
"Go out, I'm going to make this bed softer, and I'll have a long talk with your Nana tonight. After Shen Chu finished speaking, he let go of Ji Li, then turned around and pushed him out.
Shen Chu is not a fool, from the shooting attack just downstairs to the time when Zhao Xiao rushed over with a sniper, it didn't take more than half an hour.
And Ji Li made a phone call, and Zhao Xiao grabbed the suspect and came over, which can only prove one point, Zhao Xiao is around here.
Zhao Xiao kept calling Ji Li Ji Team, but Shen Chu didn't know what Ji Li's true identity was. Ji Li's identity became a mystery, and Zhao Xiao's identity also became a mystery, and Shen Chu didn't know whether Zhao Xiao was following Ji Li twenty-four hours a day to protect Ji Li, or whether he wanted to monitor and protect Elena, or whether it was Ji Li's person who arranged to follow him at any time.
suddenly remembered the reason why Shen Peifei was ruined before, it was because Ji Li installed cameras in all aspects of the house that he could catch Shen Peifei's handle.
And the last time Ji Li left his mobile phone in the company, Shen Chu accidentally saw the surveillance video of the room in Ji Li's mobile phone before handing over the mobile phone to Ji Li, and found that the oldest video file was actually when she and Ji Li knew each other not long ago, that is, when she lived in Ji Li's house to be his attending doctor.
In other words, most of the surveillance was installed by Ji Li after he met her. At the beginning, the monitoring was mostly to monitor yourself......
Shen Chu thought about it carefully, Ji Li once said that he only knew that he was the woman in San Francisco after they got married, which means that Ji Li's purpose of approaching him at the beginning was not because of the black soil.
So what was Ji Li's purpose in approaching her in the first place?
Does Zhao Xiao stay by his side to monitor himself or protect himself?
This is just her doubt so far, and the only thing that can be confirmed now is that, judging from the time of getting along during this time, Elena is a woman who does not stop at her goal, so if Elena wants to live in with peace of mind, then no matter how tortuous the process is, Elena will live in the end anyway.
When Ji Li turned around and walked out, Lu Xiran had already put the gun back, then looked at Ji Li and said, "Nana will be handed over to you." β
Lu Xiran turned and walked away, Elena's long, curly eyelashes flickering. Then he raised his head and looked at Ji Li with a cold gaze: "Nana, come to my study." β
After Ji Li finished speaking, he turned around and took the lead upstairs.
A hint of deep meaning flashed in Elena's eyes, and then she followed Ji Li upstairs.
The moment Shen Chu pushed open the door, he happened to see Ji Li and Elena entering the study one after the other.
Then, the door was closed.
"Sit. Ji Li sat on the sofa, and then pointed to the sofa opposite Elena, the corner of his eyes swept over her delicate features, and his gaze was deep.
Elena sat down across from Ji Li and waited for Ji Li to speak.
"Nana, do you remember how old you were when I first saw you?" Ji Li had a single expression, and she couldn't see any emotion, as if she was recalling the past, and it seemed to remind her of something.
As long as it is related to Ji Li, Elena remembers it very clearly.
"When I first met you, I was eight years old and you were sixteen. I wondered how there could be such a beautiful boy in the world, who was so beautiful than me. Elena said without hesitation.
Ji Li put one hand on the back of the sofa chair, his slender legs were folded, and his son was as smooth as jade, but his mouth was extremely old: "Nana, twenty years old is a good age......"
Before Ji Li could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Elena: "So what?"
"You can achieve your career and accomplish your dreams......"
"My dream has always been you, I have made it very clear, this will not change because you marry another woman, you don't have to persuade me to give up, let alone pretend not to know the fact that I love you, Li, I love you, this is something that outsiders can see, Ou Mengmeng can see it, Shen Chu can see it. β
Elena finally understood that Ji Li called her to the study today in order to have a complete showdown with her.
She knew Ji Li, whether it was herself, Shen Peifei, or Ou Mengmeng, whether they liked him or loved him, in Ji Li's heart, it had nothing to do with him. He doesn't accept it and doesn't care, so he won't explain it to anyone, let alone waste time showdown with them one by one.
This is Ji Li's character, you love me, what does it have to do with me?
But this time it was different, this time he made Shen Peifei lose his reputation for Shen Chu, and behind his back, he made Ou Mengmeng Ji Cheng's fiancΓ©e, and personally called her to the study to have a showdown with her at this moment.
All of this is for a woman, Shen Chu.
Elena knew that since her father died to save Ji Li, she had become Ji Li's responsibility.
Ji Li is about to be on his own, but for Shen Chu, Ji Li is spoiled.
The biggest difference between Ji Li and Shen Chu is that. For himself, as long as he wants something, Ji Li will satisfy himself. As for Shen Chu, as long as it is what she needs, even if she doesn't say it, Ji Li will send it to Shen Chu at all costs.
This is the difference between her and Shen Chu in Ji Li's heart. This is also why after a few days together, Elena began to regret that she didn't give up her studies in the first place.
She was so confident, so confident that she thought that Ji Li would be her own sooner or later. But she forgot that Ji Li was a man she couldn't control.
Straightforwardness is Elena's way of confession all along.
She loves Ji Li, so she will not shy away from saying the words 'I love you' to him.
Ji Li's eyes were piercing, his slender fingers were folded on his knees, and his deep eyes were like dark night, and he couldn't see it very clearly, but the words that came out of his mouth were extremely clear: "Nana, a hot love is not love, and unrequited love is not like." You love me, I don't love you, it's wishful thinking to say it's good, and it's stalker to say it's ugly. You are a responsibility that I cannot abandon, if necessary, I can give you this life, but I am destined to bear you in this life. Don't insist on what you shouldn't, you deserve better. β
