Chapter 46 Let Me Be Your Shield

He wandered around Shi Mingguang's residence all night, carrying fruits in one hand and various delicacies in the other.

Looking up, I saw my own reflection on the floor-to-ceiling glass door of the community, which was very funny.

He was clearly wearing a high-end casual suit, Italian custom-made leather shoes, and a cool hairstyle, looking like a "boss", but he was carrying these two bags with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Mr. Chi?"

Shi Mingguang slowly walked towards the floor-to-ceiling glass door, pushed it open with difficulty, and saw "Chi Tiansheng" at a glance.

Without thinking, he threw two bags of things into the room and rushed forward, holding the glass door with one hand and supporting Shi Mingguang with the other.

"Lawyer Shi, why did you run away? You were injured, where were you going? Where is Officer Song?"

He hesitated all night and did not dare to visit because he was worried about Song Kang.

Lian Ye knew better than anyone what kind of feelings Song Kang had for Shi Mingguang.

Just an ordinary friend, or someone special? The way you look at your brother is completely different from the way you look at the person you are attracted to.

Whether Shi Mingguang was really slow-witted or pretending not to know, he was unable to figure it out all night.

However, Song Kang did not dare to reveal his true feelings, and silently guarded Shi Mingguang, watching him clearly all night long.

Seeing Song Kang rushing to send Shi Mingguang home first, Lian Ye thought that Song Kang would not leave easily and would stay until the end.

"There have been a lot of cases lately, so he's quite busy."

Shi Mingguang smiled bitterly and glanced at the fruits and food that fell on the ground.

"I don't even have instant noodles at home. I want to go to the convenience store next door to buy something."

The things that fell on the ground were exactly what Shi Mingguang needed.

I regretted that night that I didn't run up and deliver these things immediately.

"You, you stand here and wait for me. I'll pick up your things and take you home."

He picked up one bag and was about to pick up another bag when a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask walked quickly past him.

The man was wearing black clothes, a black hat and a mask.

It was the person who hit Shi Mingguang with his car!

The person was dressed the same as the one he was ordered to use in the sneak attack. He was either sent by the Luo family or a professional killer under Boss Ju.

The man, wearing gloves, pulled out a shiny knife from his pocket.

Lian Ye firmly grasped the man's raised hand with one hand and pushed Shi Mingguang into the glass door with the other.

The man glared at him and pressed the knife down harder.

The tip of the knife was about to touch Lian Ye's nose, and he raised his foot and kicked the man in black hard.

While the man in black was staggering in pain, he still swung the sharp blade in his hand fiercely.

Lian Ye's hand was cut open and blood was flowing out, but he seemed to feel nothing. He still used all his strength to twist the wrist of the man in black, and the knife finally fell to the ground with a clang.

The man in black rushed forward to pick up the knife, but Lian Ye stepped hard on one of his hands and pulled up his other hand and bent it backwards. The pain made him fall to the ground instantly.

"Who asked you to come? Why did you touch Shi Mingguang?"

Lian Ye stared at the man in black with cold eyes. After pinning him down, he reached out to take off his hat and mask.

"What happened? Lawyer Shi, are you okay?"

Two security guards came running over with sticks, and Shi Mingguang contacted the property management staff.

"Asshole! If you keep meddling in other people's business, you won't have enough lives to die. Do you think you can survive every time?"

The man in black took advantage of the fact that he was distracted at night, pushed him away, and ran away with a cold curse.

Not only did he recognize himself as "Chi Tiansheng", he also knew that he had been "murdered" by Luo Pingfeng once and was lucky to survive.

The man in black who attacked ran away, and two security guards helped Shi Mingguang up.

Shi Mingguang did not hesitate and limped towards the injured person.

Bright red blood flowed down his palm.

As he walked towards Chi Tiansheng, Shi Mingguang suddenly thought of another person.

In the dark alley, like a wounded little animal, he carefully suppressed his breath of pain. When someone approached and asked, he raised his eyes from the darkness.

The deep and resentful look in his eyes resembles the puppy that Shi Mingguang saved when he was a child.

The puppy that was hit by the children barked at Shi Mingguang until it realized that this boy was different from those children and then it became docile.

The man in the alley reeked of blood.

However, he shook his head with a sad look on his face and said in despair: "I am not injured. This is not my blood."

Shi Mingguang, Shi Mingguang, the person in front of you is Chi Tiansheng, who is injured. He blocked the knife for you and saved your life, and he is bleeding.

Why do you think of the person in the alley at this moment, the person who fell into the water with Chi Tiansheng?

Shi Mingguang felt a little guilty. He bit his lip, endured the pain in his feet, and walked quickly towards "Chi Tiansheng".

"Blood, so much blood has been lost, the wound must be very deep, let's go to the hospital to treat the wound quickly."

Shi Mingguang's panic and anxiety reminded Lian Ye of their first encounter in the alley that night.

Shi Mingguang also asked him at the time where he was injured and why his clothes were covered in blood.

However, the blood was not from overnight, but was evidence of his crime of hurting others with a knife.

At that time, Lian Ye was a weapon of the Luo family, a puppet who could not freely choose his own path, and was not worthy of Shi Mingguang's care.

"Don't worry, I'll contact my family doctor and he'll be waiting for me at home. There's no need to go to the hospital for this small wound."

He couldn't go to the hospital overnight, so he had to go home and take Shi Mingguang home with him.

"The man who attacked you just now is probably the one who hit you with his car during the day. Originally, Officer Song and I thought he just wanted to intimidate you, but now it seems he's determined to kill you. You can't stay here alone. Come home with me."

He raised his hand to pull Shi Mingguang, but felt a pain and realized that the wound was deeper than he had imagined.

Fortunately, he summoned Xiaowen as soon as possible. By the time he persuaded Shi Mingguang, Xiaowen should have arrived.

Shi Mingguang stared at Chi Tiansheng's bleeding hand, feeling distressed and blaming himself.

"Chi Tiansheng" came to see him with fruits and food. He was "flattered" and felt warm in his heart.

However, when he saw "Chi Tiansheng" getting injured in order to protect himself, his heart seemed to be cut open by a knife.

We cannot implicate others, Shi Mingguang shook his head firmly.

"Go live at your house? No need. I'll have the security guard call the police and check the surveillance footage. I don't believe these people are so lawless that they dare to attack me again."

Lian Ye did not allow him to refuse, and held his hand tightly, with a firm gaze and a tougher tone.

"No way. They came back to us in just half a day. We won't give up this mission easily."

Those people are all desperate criminals, who are willing to risk their lives.

For huge rewards and to complete customer orders, they will not give up until the goal is achieved.

Law and justice are simply not within their consciousness.

Lian Ye knew it very well; this was the brainwashing he had received since childhood.

"The one I asked you to kill is not a human being, but something that hinders our Luo family."

The master of the Luo family, Luo Pingfeng, Luo Pingcheng, everyone used this kind of rhetoric, reminding them over and over again all night long.

"Anyone you can kill is a thing. And you are also just a thing, a thing belonging to the Luo family."

It was precisely because she had never been treated as a human being and had never been cared for that she was completely devoted to Shi Mingguang in the alley that night.

In his life, he was the first person who cared about whether he was in pain or not, and the first person who treated him as a human being.

Therefore, no matter if it meant getting injured and bleeding, or even paying a higher price, he had to protect Shi Mingguang even at night.

"If those people are after my life and are so cruel and cold-blooded, I can't let you get involved. Mr. Chi, go back and treat your wounds quickly. Don't get involved anymore."

Chi Tiansheng has "died" once. He is the most important person in power in the Chi Group. His life is precious. How can he take risks for himself?

Shi Mingguang tried to break free politely, but was held even tighter.

"It's okay, just let me be your shield."

Shi Mingguang had no way to refuse. He was afraid that if he refused again, he would be tied up and taken home.

Chi Tiansheng's tone was so firm, as if he was saying, "Believe in my ability, believe that I can protect you."

The accident just happened in the community where he lives. If he had lived in the Chi family, with so many bodyguards and Xiaowen who is particularly good at fighting, Chi Tiansheng would not have to protect himself personally and would not have been injured.

Those people in the Chi family will become Chi Tiansheng's shields.

With a shield as strong as a wall of iron and steel, Chi Tiansheng can use it as his own shield without any harm.

Thinking of this, Shi Mingguang felt more at ease and nodded slightly to accept the kindness.

"Well, excuse me for interrupting you for now."

Luo Pingcheng curled up on the sofa, like a cat waiting for its owner to return.

When he saw "Chi Tiansheng" helping Shi Mingguang into the house, he immediately jumped up, like a frightened cat with its hair standing on end.

"Okay, so you're in such a hurry to send me away so you can bring someone else home?"

Luo Pingcheng surrounded Shi Mingguang and looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

Luo Pingcheng certainly noticed Shi Mingguang's injury, and also saw the injury on "Chi Tiansheng's" hand.

Luo Pingcheng knew very well who would attack Shi Mingguang and "Chi Tiansheng" and couldn't help but frown.

"It seems like I missed a lot of exciting things. But, Mr. Chi, can't you treat your wound quickly?"

Luo Pingcheng looked at Xiaowen and reproached him with his eyes.

"Your master is already injured and bleeding so much, why don't you catch him and treat his wound?"

The family doctor had been waiting for a long time. Xiaowen waved and the doctor came over to treat the wound immediately.

"Lawyer Shi, please take a seat and rest for a while. Lao Xu, tell the kitchen staff to prepare food. Also, prepare a bedroom for Lawyer Shi and replace the bedding."

The family doctor disinfected and applied medicine at the same time, but he seemed to feel no pain at all that night. He was concentrating on instructing the housekeeper, Lao Xu, on how to take good care of Shi Mingguang.

Luo Pingcheng was furious when he heard this.

Chi Tiansheng was not so attentive and considerate on the day he moved in.

It seems that Shi Mingguang has Chi Tiansheng under his thumb, and Chi Tiansheng's heart and eyes are completely devoted to this young lawyer.

Luo Pingcheng was unhappy, so he wanted to play a trick on Shi Mingguang and mock Chi Tiansheng.

While Chi Tiansheng was being held by the doctor to bandage his wounds, he couldn't come over and hinder his actions.

Luo Pingcheng deliberately sat next to Shi Mingguang, moved closer to him, and spoke in a contemptuous tone, saying unpleasant words.

"Oh, as the saying goes, there's always someone to learn from when three people are together. I wonder what Lawyer Shi can be my mentor in? Oh, could it be, how to act innocent? How to seduce men? How to win Mr. Chi's heart?"

Luo Pingcheng's tone and actions were all full of contempt.

In addition to the slander, Shi Mingguang also smelled a bit of jealousy and couldn't help frowning.

Refutation and explanation seem to be of no use.

How could someone as selfish as Luo Pingcheng listen to other people's explanations?

Shi Mingguang just quietly moved to the side and sent a message to Song Kang.

What happened in the community tonight has been reported to the police, and Song Kang will receive the information soon. If he rushes home and can't find me, he will definitely be worried.

[I'm at Chi Tiansheng's house. I'm safe. Don't worry.]

Shi Mingguang looked at the text he had typed and felt that it was inappropriate, so he deleted it and edited it again.

"I'm not at home. I'm afraid the killer will come looking for me again. I've found a safe and secret place for now. Someone is with me. Don't worry, just focus on the investigation."

It wasn't that she was deliberately deceiving Song Kang, nor was she having a guilty conscience. She just had a hunch that Song Kang didn't like her associating with Chi Tiansheng.

The commotion downstairs woke up Song Yexing who was catching up on his sleep.

She was wearing a silk nightgown and stood elegantly at the stairs, admiring the men downstairs like watching a play.

Shi Mingguang? Chi Tiansheng rushed out just to block the knife for Shi Mingguang and bring him home?

The bandage on Chi Tiansheng's hand and the red cotton balls used for disinfection all over the floor were so jarring that Song Yexing felt choked up.

Out of sight, out of mind. What’s the point of feeling sad?

Chi Tiansheng didn't appreciate it at all. He risked his life for others, even though it was such a precious life that he had regained.

Song Yexing strode back to the room, changed his clothes and packed his luggage.

She didn't want to stay here and see with her own eyes how much Chi Tiansheng valued and cherished Shi Mingguang.

She also didn't want to stay here and let Chi Tiansheng see her humiliated.

Because of a broken heart, because of a complete defeat, because of unwillingness to accept the tears.

"Mr. Chi has a large group of men at home, so it's not convenient for a woman like me to live here."

Song Yexing simply dragged her suitcase downstairs and asked Xiaowen to take her to the best hotel.

Xiaowen sighed and had to go back to driving, muttering to himself: I drive around picking people up all day long, and people who don’t know me would think I’m driving a sports car.

"Your young master died once, no, after escaping death, don't you think he seems to have become a different person?"

Song Yexing looked at the night view outside the window. The city had not changed much, but Chi Tiansheng had changed a lot.

Xiaowen didn't answer, he also felt the change in the young master.

But, the young master is the young master, and there is only one Chi Tiansheng in this world.

If that person wasn't Chi Tiansheng, his most respected brother, who else could it be?

"Hey, if you don't answer, it means you agree. You know him best and are the one closest to him, like family. You must know what I can feel."

Song Yexing is full of confidence in his woman's intuition.

Xiaowen bit her lip and gripped the steering wheel tightly. The red light ahead was on.

Stop at red lights and go at green lights. This is a traffic rule that everyone knows and must obey.

That person is "Chi Tiansheng" from head to toe, so he is Chi Tiansheng. He can't be anyone else except Chi Tiansheng.

However, today he actually blocked the knife for Shi Mingguang and took him home at all costs.

In the past, Chi Tiansheng would never do such a thing.

Falling into the water, nearly losing your life, and surviving the ordeal, can it really change a person so much?

Xiaowen did have the same doubts, but he couldn't understand it and couldn't find any reason to doubt that the person was not "Chi Tiansheng".

When the light turned green, Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the accelerator, and headed forward.

Stop at red lights and go at green lights. Xiaowen feels that his "simple brain" can only understand this kind of common sense.
