Chapter 112 Did I...did I kill someone?

She raised her eyes suddenly and was caught off guard by his deep peach blossom eyes.

Those eyes seemed to be filled with crushed starlight. They were clearly smiling, but they concealed an unclear depth that made her heart skip a beat. The confidence she had just put on to remain calm instantly dissipated, and even her cheeks began to heat up.

In a trance, the man's every movement and every word gave off that old-fashioned cool vibe.

Gu Xiangsi's heart seemed to be pulled by an invisible string. When she raised her eyes, the string suddenly tightened, making her breathless.

How could this person throw fire into people's hearts with every move he made, burning her sanity to the point of melting it?

"Mr. Fu... Mr. Fu is touched. I think I can work overtime..."

Gu Xiangsi pretended to be calm.

"Sharp tongue."

Fu Sinian lowered his eyes, his gaze lingering briefly on the woman's rosy lips, then turned and walked towards the parking space.

"You wish. I have to pay you overtime pay for your overtime." As he finished speaking, he lowered his body and sat in the back seat.

Gu Xiangsi was stunned for a few seconds before getting into the car.

Behind the pillar, the woman clenched her fists and said coldly into the phone, "Give her a good beating tonight."

The man in the black hat received the call, and the corner of his mouth curled up. Then he received another message: "It's time to do the work tonight. If you take the money, you have to do your best."

"Everyone is targeting her. How many people has she offended?"

He sneered and got away with it.

With an exaggerated arc at the corner of his lips, he stopped a car and got in.

When Gu Xiangsi arrived at the community, he almost rushed out of the car.

The moment the door closed, her voice was heard outside: "Mr. Fu, good night. Sweet dreams."

Fu Sinian turned his head and looked at the woman who was fleeing in panic, and the corners of his lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

"Sweet dreams"... This sentence is quite pleasant to the ear.

Gu Xiangsi's mood was completely messed up by him, and she didn't even notice that someone was following her before getting on the elevator.

It wasn't until she entered the apartment, closed the door, and glanced at the still empty room opposite that she sighed softly.

Let’s talk about finding another house later.

She went into the room, grabbed a set of pajamas, and headed straight to the bathroom. The hot water was running, but her mind was drifting uncontrollably.

Things happened like a revolving lantern during this period. When they returned to China and met again, after many twists and turns, Fu Sinian's attitude towards her seemed to have changed.

But there are too many things between them.

Lin Xiucun, is that man really her father? Who sent that strange bouquet of flowers on the grave?

Although grandma's illness has improved, my uncle's family is like a time bomb...

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

The sound of water blurred my thoughts, and those tangled threads became more entangled in the misty water vapor.

"Clang—"

Suddenly there was a crisp sound in the living room, as if something was tripped and fell over.

Gu Xiangsi snapped back to her senses, and the sound of water in the bathroom instantly cut off. Her grip on the edge of the towel suddenly tightened, her knuckles turning white, and she listened intently to the noise outside the door.

"Xiao Li?" She called out in a hoarse voice, with a barely perceptible tension in her voice.

It was eerily quiet outside the door.

Gu Xiangsi's heart sank, and she wrapped the bath towel tighter and picked up the hair dryer from the shelf.

She moved cautiously to the bathroom door, but before she could react, the door handle was violently shaken by an external force with a clang and was pushed open suddenly.

A man wearing a black hat was standing in the backlight. Even though the brim of the hat was pulled down low, Gu Xiangsi recognized him at a glance.

It’s Xiaoli’s idle boyfriend.

"Miss Gu, do you still recognize me?" The man took off his hat and his eyes, like a sticky spider web, swept over her from top to bottom with undisguised vulgarity.

Gu Xiangsi tightened her grip on the hair dryer and asked coldly, "What do you want to do? Is Xiaoli back? How did you get the key?"

"Such a figure, such white legs..." The man didn't respond to her at all. He sneered in his throat and moved forward step by step.

"Miss Gu, that Mr. Fu from last time wasn't good enough. I'll let you have a taste of what heaven is..."

After he finished speaking, he actually tore off his jacket and T-shirt.

"Don't come over here! You're breaking the law!"

"Breaking the law?" The man chuckled, his eyes becoming increasingly fierce. "Miss Gu, you don't even know who you've offended, right? I have someone protecting me, so what are you afraid of?"

He suddenly rushed forward with such force that he pushed Gu Xiangsi against the glass door of the bathroom. The cold touch pressed against her back, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

The man's hand had already reached out to pull the bath towel off her body.

At the critical moment, Gu Xiangsi touched the light switch next to him, and the lights in the room suddenly went out.

The hair dryer in his hand was also snatched away.

Darkness instantly swallowed everything, and only the man's voice rang out in his ears: "It smells so good..."

Gu Xiangsi groped in the dark.

When the man's hand grabbed her, she didn't think twice and smashed it on his head with all her might!

"Hmm!" The man stumbled, then laughed viciously, "That's really exciting!"

Gu Xiangsi didn't give her a chance to breathe. Taking advantage of the moment when he was unstable, she raised her foot and kicked him hard in the lower body!

The kick was delivered with great force. The man screamed miserably and curled up on the ground like a shrimp, soon becoming motionless.

Gu Xiangsi was trembling all over. He opened the bathroom door, grabbed the phone on the table, and staggered towards the entrance.

In a panic, Gu Xiangsi felt as if she had bumped into a solid chest. When she raised her eyes, she met Fu Sinian's deep eyes.

"What's wrong?" His voice was low, with a barely perceptible hint of haste.

Fu Sinian's gaze quickly fell on her.

The body was wrapped in a loose bath towel, water was still dripping from the ends of her hair, and the edge of the towel was stained with dark red blood.

"Are you hurt?" His brows suddenly tightened.

"Fu Sinian..." The moment he saw who was coming, Gu Xiangsi's tense nerves suddenly broke, his brows relaxed, and his whole body went limp, falling straight onto him.

Fu Sinian subconsciously put his arm around her waist, and when his palm touched her cold skin, he unconsciously tightened his grip.

"Bathroom..." Her voice was shaking and she was barely breathing.

Fu Sinian helped her walk two steps into the living room, freeing one hand to push the bathroom door inward.

Behind the door, the image of a man lying in a pool of blood suddenly came into view.

Just as Gu Xiangsi was about to glance over, Fu Sinian's hand had already covered her eyes, his palm warm and dry.

"Don't look." His voice was low, as if he was comforting a frightened kitten.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket with his other hand: "Li Xiaoyao, come up immediately."

"Did I...did I kill someone?" Gu Xiangsi's voice was filled with tears, and her body was shaking even more violently.

"I'll take care of it." Fu Sinian hung up the phone without saying anything else. He picked her up and walked towards the bedroom. "Change your clothes."

He gently placed her on the bed, turned and walked straight to the closet, picking out a loose cotton home suit.

When I turned around, I saw her huddled in the corner of the bed, shivering like a puppet with its strings cut. Her face was as pale as paper, and even her lips had lost their color.

Fu Sinian walked over and pulled the T-shirt over her head.

She did not resist and let him help her put on her clothes clumsily. As he did so, he found that his palms were sweating.

As Fu Sinian took the towel and wiped her wet hair, a sense of relief flashed through his heart.

Half an hour ago, I found her dropped necklace in the back seat, and after much hesitation, I decided to give it to her.

At the time, I was just thinking that I wouldn't be able to sleep well without the necklace, and that I would be delayed at work tomorrow and my efficiency would be affected, but I didn't expect...

Fortunately, he came.
