At eight o'clock in the evening, the power suddenly went out in the small building. As a housekeeper, Su's mother was busy sending a messenger out to inquire, and asked the maid to light a few candles and set them up.

She walked a few steps in the hall, and from time to time looked at the second floor, the staircase was pitch black, and no one came down for a long time.

Su Ma estimated that Shen Qiangrose should have fallen asleep, so she told the maid not to go up and disturb her. While they were talking, they saw the messenger hurriedly walk in, and said breathlessly: "I just asked, this Western alley needs to repair the circuit today, and the power will be cut off for an hour." ”

When Su Ma heard this, she was very calm. Originally, old mothers like them were very thoughtful about what they did, but she thought that now that the electric bell could not be used, Miss Shen had to inform her, so she thought about it and went up to the second floor.

Shen Qiangrose went back to the room after dinner, she lay on the bed, thinking about the words that Qiao Yunhua's subordinates said to her, and she felt more and more foggy.

Originally, she said that the clothes of the people looking for foreign companies were just for show, but who would have thought that these two ordinary people were Qiao Yunhua's people.

She couldn't help but feel chills all over her body, thinking about her current situation, as if she was in an embattled predicament, and she didn't know that there were so many pairs of eyes staring at her.

At this moment, the power was cut off in the room, and the room was dark, she got up and walked to the window, and saw that the inside and outside of the small building were shrouded in a faint moonlight, and a thin cold blue covered the scenery like a veil, and there seemed to be a wind in the distance, and there was a very slight rustle.

The night fell, and a few stars twinkled lonely at the end of the sky. She was in a trance, she might as well see Su Ma open the door and come in, she was shocked, and said angrily: "Su Ma, why are you sneaky?" ”

When Su Ma heard this, she panicked for no reason, and said, "Miss, don't be angry, I thought Miss was asleep, but there was a sudden power outage in this small building, so I wanted to come over and see Miss." ”

Shen Qiangrose stood in front of the window, a glimmer of light penetrated from the outside, and her whole person was caged inside, just a black figure.

Su Ma couldn't see her expression, and vaguely felt a little weird, she hurriedly said: "Miss, you are just sick, don't get cold, I'll go out." ”

Shen Qiangrose slowly walked over from the shadows, and said very annoyedly: "What kind of power outage, it's really annoying." I'm a little thirsty right now, so go get me a glass of water." ”

Su Ma hurriedly responded, Shen Qiangrose listened to her leave quickly, and vaguely felt that the conspiracy was one step closer to herself, and she seemed to be scared in her heart.

She steadied herself, walked briskly towards the window, and hid behind the heavy curtains, peeking downstairs with only a small slit exposed. I saw a few men patrolling the yard, each walking steadily, and at first glance it was a practitioner.

These people were specially sent by Su Huiyi to protect Shen Qiangrose. She thought that tonight's power outage might not be so simple, and she didn't know if she was too suspicious, so she thought about it randomly, and she was even more panicked.

She sat back on the bed and slowly stroked her hand to her chest, where her heart was already beating like a drum.

Su Ma knocked on the door and came in, and when she saw that Shen Qiangrose was silent without saying a word, she put the water cup on the bedside table and walked out lightly.

Shen Qiangrose turned her head to look at the water glass, suddenly stood up, walked to the dresser, and gently opened the drawer. With a faint halo, I carefully flipped through it and slowly took out a small paper bag.

She opened the paper packet and saw a few lines of small print on it, but it was just a description of the efficacy of the medicine. Inside, there was only a small white pill, but it was the size of a soybean.

She thought for a moment, then finally crushed the pill, poured it into a glass of water, and when it was all dissolved, she took a sip.

When I looked back and saw that the night was deep, my heart seemed to calm down suddenly. Step by step, go out and go through all the details. The hallway was pitch black, and the hall shimmered with dim dots of light.

When several maids saw Shen Qiangrose coming down, they stepped forward to support her, she looked around and asked, "Why don't you see Mother Liu?" ”

The little maid Qin'er said, "Mother Liu and Mother Su have gone back to the room, and I will go and call you." ”

Shen Qiangrose shook her head and said, "I don't know when the call will come, I'm a little afraid of the dark, you can accompany me upstairs." ”

When she said this, she suddenly felt dizzy and her feet floated as if she were about to pass out. This frightened a few maids, and helped her back to the bedroom in a panic.

She was lying on the bed, only to feel that her chest was hot, and the maid saw that her cheeks were crimson, so she touched her forehead and immediately said nervously: "Ah! Miss has a fever again! ”

Su Ma and Liu Ma quickly walked in, and when Liu Ma saw this, she couldn't help but nag. Su's mother was even more anxious, and hurriedly sent a messenger to ask the doctor to come over.

Shen Qiangrose's mind was very clear, she was lying on the bed, watching the crowd in front of her busy. At this time, the night was deep, and a few candles were burning in the room, and the reflection on everyone's faces was anxious.

After working like this for nearly an hour, the messenger sent out had not yet returned, Su Ma panicked, went downstairs to wait, and saw a few people standing there meticulously in the courtyard, so she sat silently on the sofa in the hall.

Mother Liu took care of Shen Qiangrose all the time, and seeing that there was no one else in the room, Shen Qiangrose grabbed Mother Liu's arm and whispered, "Don't worry, Mama, I'm pretending to be sick." ”

Mother Liu's eyes widened immediately, and when Shen Qiangrose saw this, she said: "This power outage is not so simple, I deliberately pretended to be sick, just to test it, the people who were sent out before have not come back, it is obvious that someone was stopped by someone halfway, it seems that someone wants to take the opportunity to kill me." ”

Mother Liu couldn't help but tremble, but said, "Don't worry, Miss, I will protect you to the death." Shen Qiangrose patted her hand with relief and said, "Mama, you help me up, let's go to the bathroom." ”

Mother Liu didn't dare to say anything, and helped Shen Qiangrose to walk towards the bathroom step by step. When I got to the door, I heard a rush of footsteps.

Shen Qiangrose quickly locked the bathroom door, and Su's mother's voice came, "Miss is still sick, how can she get out of bed?" ”

Shen Qiangrose gently whispered a few words to Liu's mother, and then turned on the faucet of the bathtub, and Liu's mother said: "It's okay, according to the local method of our hometown, symptoms such as fever will be good as long as you take a hot bath." ”

Su Ma said anxiously: "It's been more than an hour, the doctor hasn't come over, there is no wax inside, the black light is blinding, Mother Liu, you open the door, I'll go in to help." ”

Shen Qiangrose said softly to Mother Liu: "Mama, you go out and lock the bedroom door." ”

Mother Liu only cared about trembling, and stood still hesitantly. Shen Qiangrose said impatiently: "Mama, go out, you are not needed here." ”

Mother Liu had to open the door, and saw Mother Su standing at the door, holding a half-lit candle in her hand.

Shen Qiangrose hooked her lips and sneered, but the room was dark, Su Ma didn't see it, she walked in with a candle, and saw Shen Qiangrose leaning against the wall, looking extremely weak.

He said worriedly: "Miss, I don't think this trick is appropriate, you better go back to bed and rest." ”

Shen Qiangrose glanced at her and reached out to turn off the faucet. She said lightly: "Put the candle down, you go out." She panicked and waved her hand unnaturally.

Su Ma knew that she had committed a young lady's temper, and she couldn't say anything. Squatted down and dripped a few drops of wax and oil on the ground, panting with candles.

Shen Qiangrose bit her lip, picked up the crystal ornament in her hand, and smashed it on Su Ma's head, the crystal suddenly shattered, like raindrops, and she held it in her hand with a sharp edge.

This time she exerted full force, and Su Ma immediately fell to the ground. Shen Qiangrose forced herself to calm down, as if she was ruthless in her heart at this moment, and she didn't feel afraid, but instead her heart was cold and gray that she had never had.

In the blink of an eye, the candle stood crookedly, and the rising flame was like a bean, splitting a thin ray of light in the dark night, which was not enough to illuminate the gloomy state of mind.

She made up her mind, pulled Su Ma's arms, and dragged her out of the bathroom.

Mother Liu hurried over, and Shen Qiangrose said, "Mama, throw her on the bed!" ”

Mother Liu saw that Su Ma's head was bleeding, and it was unusually panicked in the darkness, so she said "ouch". Shen Qiang Rose immediately snorted, "Hurry up, we don't have time." ”

Mother Liu was busy with the handle, and the two of them worked together to carry Mother Su to the bed, and Shen Qiangrose covered the quilt for her. I heard the maid Yunqing knocking on the door, and asked puzzledly, "Why is the door still locked?" Miss, Miss? ”

Shen Qiangrose looked at Mother Liu, and Mother Liu immediately said, "Miss is resting, I am here to serve, you go and rest." ”

Yun Qing sighed when he heard it, and walked downstairs quickly. Liu's mother was still in the clouds, when she heard gunshots outside the courtyard, crackling as if they were in the middle of a firefight.

Shen Qiangwei pulled Liu's mother to hide in the bathroom, the gunshots in her ears were endless, and Liu's mother was already frightened, squatting on the ground and trembling.

Shen Qiangrose slowed down before whispering: "Mama, their target this time is me again, and whether or not to hide in the past depends on whether God gives me this chance." ”

Mother Liu was sad in her heart, and said softly: "Miss, don't say such things, you are blessed, and this time you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”

Shen Qiangrose suddenly smiled bitterly, "Leave it to fate." ”

The bathroom was steaming hot, the air on the floor was soaking, and sitting in the corner with your knees hugged, the damp and sticky feeling was like a vine, tightly wrapped around your body, and it was like making people breathless.

Faintly hearing the sound of footsteps from far and near, Mother Liu subconsciously looked at Shen Qiangrose, and saw her sitting there calmly, the light on this side was too dim, and she could only see the delicate outline of her side face, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, as if she was not afraid.

The sound of banging on the door rang for a while, and someone hurriedly said, "Hurry up, there's no time." In the end, I don't know who fired a shot, and the door was slammed open.

It was like a tearing opening, and the sound of footsteps poured into the bedroom. Shen Qiangrose only felt that her heart was hanging in her throat, so she heard a few gunshots, which rang sharply in her ears, stirring her mind clearly.

There was a clear gunshot from downstairs again, and someone shouted, "This isn't Shen Qiangrose!" ”

"What about her?"

As footsteps approached the bathroom, the person outside moved the doorknob and said, "This door is locked, and the person should be inside." ”

Liu's mother was trembling, Shen Qiangrose hugged her, and when she heard a "bang", a bullet pierced the wooden door and flew out from the top of the two of them, shattering the entire mirror.

Shen Qiangrose subconsciously protected her body on Liu's mother, and the shards of glass smashed on her back in an instant. She couldn't help but snort, as if a tiny worm had burrowed into her skin, burning as if it hurt.

It was only a moment, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and she looked over in a trance, and saw Su Huiyi appear at the door, and her hands were also dripping with blood.

She wanted to laugh, but finally just choked up and said, "I thought you weren't coming back." ”
