Xie Qi brushed the dust off his knees, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he let out a sound that was almost a laugh. This sound echoed in the silent air, as if filled with endless self-mockery and disdain.

At this moment, Lu Bu heard the commotion and walked over quickly. His eyes fell on Xie Qi, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Xie Qi could break such a hard chain, which gave him a new understanding of Xie Qi's strength.

However, Lu Bu did not panic, but instead winked at the bodyguards behind him. The bodyguards understood and quickly stepped forward, ready to force Xie Qi back to the room.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xie Qi was so agile.

Just when the bodyguards took Xie Qi to the living room, Xie Qi took advantage of their relaxed vigilance and broke free from his restraints in an instant.

He was like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye he teleported to Lubu's side, his left hand tightly around his neck, and his right hand holding a sharp dagger, firmly against his throat.

"Call Lu Chiyan out, or I'll kill him right now!" Xie Qi's eyes were cold as he stared at the people opposite him, his tone full of threats. His voice was low and powerful, making people shudder.

The bodyguards on the opposite side panicked when they saw this scene. They never thought that Xie Qi would suddenly attack and successfully hold the housekeeper hostage.

For a moment, they didn't know how to respond. However, they didn't dare to disturb the head of the family easily.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Xie Qi suddenly heard the sound of the door upstairs being pushed open. He looked up and saw Lu Chiyan standing at the handrail upstairs, looking at them quietly.

Lu Chiyan's appearance made Xie Qi even more agitated. He shouted at the people upstairs, "What do you want?"

However, when Lu Chiyan's eyes met Xie Qi's, his body trembled violently. He looked at Xie Qi staring at him with disgust and anger, and his heart was stabbed with pain, as if thousands of needles were piercing it.

Lu Chiyan's hands unconsciously grasped the handrail tightly. The wooden railing broke instantly under his tight grip. The sharp wooden thorns pierced deeply into his palm, and blood oozed out, but he seemed unaware.

He couldn't accept such a familiar face looking at him with such strange and indifferent eyes.

Lu Chiyan then turned away, not even glancing at Xie Qi. His voice trembled as he spoke, "I can compromise. From now on, you can move freely in this villa except for my room, but leaving here is impossible."

After saying this, Lu Chiyan pushed open the door of his room without hesitation and walked in. The moment the door closed, it seemed to pull the distance between the two of them even further.

At this moment, Xie Qi looked up at the place upstairs where there was no shadow anymore. He didn't know where the palpitation he had just felt came from. The strange feeling made him confused and uneasy.

Just when Xie Qi wanted to figure out why, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if countless steel needles were piercing through his mind, preventing him from thinking any further.

Lubu seized this opportunity and struggled to break free from Xie Qi's arms.

Lubu patted his wrinkled clothes and said in a flat tone: "Since the head of the family has said so, you can do as you please." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, busying himself with his own affairs.

The bodyguards followed Lu Bu and left. In a blink of an eye, Xie Qi was the only one left in the spacious living room.

Finally, it was 948's voice that broke the silence, pulling Xie Qi back to reality. Xie Qi shook his head and found that the pain had disappeared.

"Host, are we still planning to escape?"

"Escape, forget it! With this kind of defense, not even a mosquito can fly out."

Xie Qi stopped thinking about the strangeness in his heart, but sighed and returned to his previous room.

As Xie Qi walked, he thought: "Since I can't get out now, I'll first find out the villain's plan to destroy the brain center."

In the following days, Xie Qi would stroll around the rooms every day, which gave Lubu a headache.

"Mr. Xie, that place is a doghouse, why did you go in there? And... please don't bully Taike anymore, okay?" Lubuk had a smile on his face, but veins on his forehead were bulging, and it was difficult for the corners of his mouth to remain calm.

At this time, the once majestic guard dog was now tied up by Xie Qi and thrown next to the doghouse, and could only hum pitifully to Lubu.

However, Xie Qi completely ignored Lu Bu's calls and continued to lie in the doghouse, as if looking for something.

"948, are you sure there is something in here?" Xie Qi asked in a low voice.

"According to the radar, there is something unusual here. There's no way there's nothing here. Host, please look carefully..."

Finally, Xie Qi found a black sphere under the dog's mat. He carefully put it into his pocket and then slowly climbed out of the doghouse.

Then Xie Qi calmly patted the dust off his knees. He looked at Lu Bu calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.

"Your master has told me that I can move freely, so why can't I go into the doghouse? Just leave me alone." After Xie Qi finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Lu Bu and walked straight towards the room.

Lubu's good upbringing almost broke him. However, he finally took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, turned and walked towards the doghouse, and worked tirelessly to rescue Taike.

At this moment, Lu Chiyan and Jue Lingran were standing by the upstairs window, quietly observing everything that was happening downstairs. They took in Xie Qi's every move, with complicated expressions on their faces.
