Chapter 226 is about Lin Yu

Lin Yu's thinking was simple: even if the police came looking for him, they couldn't do anything to him without evidence.

But Fang Ya's car is a problem, and the fact that she went to her own home when she arrived and hasn't come out since is also a problem.

Thinking about all this made Lin Yu feel terrible; he felt like he was about to die.

But he still wanted to try one more time, hoping there might still be hope.

With that thought in mind, he sped up, and the car shot off like an arrow.

Back home, Qiao Xing saw Qin Ce turn around and go straight into the study. She frowned slightly, then went to the bathroom to take a shower and went to sleep.

Tomorrow is Saturday, Qin Ce shouldn't be at work. Let him be busy if he wants.

When Qiao Xing woke up, there was no one in the house. She went to the kitchen to check, but no one was there.

But breakfast was left for her on the table. She took out her phone and saw that Qin Ce had sent her a message.

He went to the hospital.

Qiao Xing put away her phone and sat down at the table to eat breakfast.

I was only halfway through my meal when I received a call from Wang Qin, who had brought Lin Xi over.

Qiao Xing had no choice but to put down his breakfast and get up to go downstairs to pick up Lin Xi.

Wang Qin was standing at the entrance of the residential area, holding Lin Xi's hand. Lin Xi was holding a milk and a tea egg.

Seeing Qiao Xing approach, Wang Qin seemed a little flustered. She forced a smile and said, "Xingxing, I'll have to trouble you."

Qiao Xing nodded, then glanced at Lin Xi beside her, who was also looking at her expectantly.

Her aloof demeanor made Wang Qin look somewhat disappointed. She let go of Lin Xi and pushed her next to Qiao Xing.

"Star, thank you."

Qiao Xing's expression was also somewhat unnatural, and rather stiff. "No need."

Wang Qin sighed, "Alright, I'll be going now."

Qiao Xing didn't look at her.

Wang Qin could only turn around and leave awkwardly.

After she left, Lin Xi handed the milk and tea eggs to Qiao Xing.

Seeing the girl's cautious and ingratiating demeanor, Qiao Xing was slightly moved, and her tone softened somewhat unnaturally, "For me?"

Lin Xi nodded, and then, as if presenting a treasure, handed the item forward a little further.

Qiao Xing took the milk and eggs from her hand. "Have you eaten?"

Lin Xi shook her head, then nodded quickly.

Qiao Xing didn't know whether she had eaten or not, so she took her hand and said, "Let's go upstairs. There's breakfast at home too. Let's eat together."

Lin Xi nodded, and squeezed Qiao Xing's hand tighter.

The girl's hands were very cold, like ice cubes, and instead of the delicate texture a little girl should have, they were rather rough. Qiao Xing looked down and saw that Lin Xi had chilblains on the back of her hands.

Although I applied the medicine, it didn't work well. Instead, a white layer covered the red and swollen skin, and the cracks were covered with yellowish-white scabs.

Qiao Xing felt a mix of emotions, thinking of taking her to the hospital for a checkup.

Just as the two were about to enter the elevator lobby, a figure suddenly appeared from nowhere and came up behind Qiao Xing.

"Don't move."

Qiao Xing paused, feeling a sharp touch on his waist; he knew without a doubt it was a knife or some other sharp object.

What shocked her even more was the voice behind her—it was Lin Yu's.

Lin Yu didn't disappear!

Qiao Xing recalled his previous threats, and a chill ran down her spine, rushing up her tailbone and straight to the top of her head. As her blood and qi surged, a thin layer of cold sweat seeped from her forehead.

In a flash, countless horrific images flashed through her mind.

For example, he thought about being stabbed to death by Lin Yu, or having his head cut off and thrown in the trash. He also thought about his own censored corpse in tomorrow's news report.

Thinking of all this, Qiao Xing swallowed hard, not daring to move.

"What are you going to do?" Qiao Xing asked in a trembling voice.

Lin Xi, who was standing next to him, looked up at the man. He was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down low, but Lin Xi was short and could see his face.

Lin Yu noticed her gaze and glared fiercely at Lin Xi, which frightened Lin Xi into immediately lowering her head.

Lin Yu then said to Qiao Xing, "Come with me, or I'll kill you."

His knife was pressed against Qiao Xing's waist, so Qiao Xing naturally didn't think he was joking.

She reached for her phone in her pocket, trying to calm herself down. She turned to Lin Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, would you like to come inside and wait for me?"

Lin Xi glanced at Qiao Xing, then at the man behind her. She nodded, let go of Qiao Xing's hand, and ran into the hall.

"Come on, don't just stand there!" Lin Yu stabbed the knife in Qiao Xing's waist with his sleeve, as if he were holding her, and pushed her forward with his arm.

After Lin Xi ran inside, she found the security guard who was dozing off and tugged at his sleeve.

The security guard opened his eyes and sat up abruptly. "What's wrong, young lady?"

Lin Xi anxiously pointed outside, "Save, save people."

"Who are you trying to save?" the security guard asked, but he still picked up his hat, put it on, and quickly walked out.

But when they came out, there was no one there; everything was calm and peaceful.

He turned to look at Lin Xi, "Who is it? Where is he?"

Lin Xi was a little flustered. She looked left and right, wondering how the person could have disappeared in such a short time.

Finally, her gaze fell on the white car that had started moving, and she quickly grabbed the security guard's hand and pulled him towards it.

The security guard went along with her and jogged over, but the car had already driven away.

"Girl, what's wrong? Who should we save?"

"There's someone in the car!"

The security guard couldn't understand her words, saying, "What nonsense is this?"

Lin Xi looked up at the security guard, her lips trembled, and large tears fell down her cheeks.

The security guard was taken aback for a moment, then quickly tried to comfort her, "Oh, why are you crying? Explain yourself! Who are you?"

Lin Xi wasn't much of a talker to begin with, and when she got nervous, she became even more tongue-tied. She stammered, "Someone stabbed her with a knife, and she...she was...taken away."

"who is she?"

"elder sister."

The security guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, let me check the surveillance footage. If what you're saying is true, then we can call the police, okay?"

Lin Xi nodded, lifted her dirty sleeve, and wiped away her tears.

Qiao Xing was indeed sitting in the car at that moment. When she got in, Lin Yu searched her thoroughly and took her phone.

Qiao Xing was now trapped in the car with no way to call for help and could only anxiously stare outside.

Her mind was filled with all sorts of bizarre images. Would Lin Yu take her to the wilderness to kill her, or cut her kidneys off?

Thinking about this, Qiao Xing couldn't think any further. She said, "Lin Yu, this is illegal. Calm down."

Lin Yu ignored her and continued driving.

Qiao Xing, still unwilling to give up, said, "When you broke up with Fang Ya, I really didn't say anything. But I can help you put in a good word for Fang Ya. However, if you do anything illegal to me, there will be no chance for you to get back together with Fang Ya."

Lin Yu sneered, "It's impossible for us anymore."
