Chapter 207
As expected.
Zhong Qiao held his breath. Through the crack in the door, the light was refracted by a black shadow and became flickering, as if someone was passing by.
It was impossible to confirm whether it was Uncle Lin, but Zhong Qiao did not dare to take it lightly.
Especially since my parents sleep closest to the living room, separated by a curtain, so the other party can enter without any pressure by simply lifting the barrier.
what to do?
Zhong Qiao sat down on the ground, thinking hard. Suddenly, moonlight poured down and wrapped around her fingertips. She raised her hand and let the moonlight flow through her fingertips.
The window of his balcony faces the courtyard, which has been planted with green plants by Zhong's father. After several years of wind and rain, they have grown into thriving towering trees.
Zhong Qiao gritted his teeth secretly, then took a pillow and some clothes and stuffed them under the quilt, making the outline of a sleeping person.
Then he quietly opened the window.
When she landed on the ground outside the window, Zhong Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare to stay and immediately went into the shade of the tree. She observed the situation for a while and made sure that no one was paying attention to this side before she groped her way out along the corner of the wall in the dark.
Jingui's home was just one street away from her. Zhong Qiao took a shortcut and ran quickly to Jingui's door and knocked.
"Jin Gui." She called out loudly, "Uncle, Uncle."
About two minutes later, there was finally movement inside and the lights came on.
Jingui opened the door with her coat on and sleepy eyes.
Seeing Zhong Qiao's miserable appearance, he was even more stunned.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, you——"
Before she finished speaking, Zhong Qiao grabbed her hand, his face showing an anxious expression: "Where's the old man? Ask him to help me call someone."
Jingui was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"
It was the first time she saw Sister Zhong Qiao so anxious. She usually remained calm in times of crisis.
Zhong Qiao's face turned frighteningly pale: "Just say that there was a thief in my house with a knife."
She was still not sure what Uncle Lin was trying to do, and even less sure if Uncle Lin was deliberately trying to expose her true intentions. So, even in such an urgent situation, she could only make a big deal out of it in this way.
This way we can save our parents.
"A thief broke in?" Jin Gui's face suddenly changed. She knew that this matter was not a joke. Sister Zhong Qiao's face looked so ugly, which meant that this thief was likely to harm Mr. and Mrs. Zhong.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, I'll go get some help right now." Jin Gui acted very quickly. "The old man and the older brothers will all go help. Don't be afraid."
Zhong Qiao tried to keep himself calm: "Okay."
This was the only way. The situation happened suddenly. Although she had made preparations and asked Zhong Siqi to be careful of Uncle Lin, there was no guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen. The most important thing was that she never expected Uncle Lin to come to her house so openly.
"It's my fault." Zhong Qiao muttered to himself, wishing he could slap himself a few times. "I was too arrogant. I should have prepared earlier."
The current situation is not unrelated to myself.
Zhong Qiao thought about it and simply ran back. As for Jin Gui, she had already gone to call for help. She believed that with their speed, they would be able to catch up soon.
What she had to do now was to create some noise to alert the people inside. Perhaps only in this way could he avoid hurting his parents.
Zhong Qiao was about to sneak back along the corner of the wall, but when she climbed to the window, she was suddenly stunned.
I saw light and shadow interweaving in the gap at the door of my room, and it was obvious that someone was standing at the door.
The air remained silent for 10 seconds, and finally, the door handle began to turn slightly, and the person outside tried to come in.
Zhong Qiao slowly took a step back.
The other party cannot get in without a key, but there is no guarantee that the other party has not made other preparations.
After the door handle turned slightly, there was a click and Zhong Qiao's pupils suddenly shrank.
The door was actually opened from the outside.
The other party has the key!
Take advantage of the moment when the opponent breaks into the door.
Zhong Qiao locked the window, squatted down, hid back in the shade of the tree, then slowly moved back and ran away quickly.
I heard hurried footsteps and the man was breathing heavily, as if he was looking for something. Finally, he came to the bed.
Because the lights were not on, he could only see the mass on the bed. The undulating and delicate lines made his blood boil.
Zhong Qiao.
You still fell into his hands.
Zhong Qiao held her breath and took advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet lifted the quilt and found that she was not in the room. She immediately decided to go around back to the living room. As long as the other party did not react, she could close the door.
"Zhong Qiao." The other party shouted angrily, "Don't even think about looking down on me."
"This time, your whole family has to thank me."
Xu Shaojun lifted the quilt and wanted to confront Zhong Qiao, but the next second, he was stunned.
The bed is empty, where is the person?
"Zhong Qiao?" Xu Shaojun was a little incredulous.
According to this time point, Zhong Qiao could not be away from the room, unless there is only one possibility, that is, she discovered something was wrong and jumped out of the window and ran away.
Realizing this, Xu Shaojun walked to the window and tried to push it open, but the window did not move at all.
It was impossible to get out because the window was locked, so how did Zhong Qiao get out?
Just when Xu Shaojun was distracted, the door behind him suddenly made a loud noise and was closed.
The earth-shattering sound startled Xu Shaojun, and he immediately reacted.
"Zhong Qiao!" He was already furious. "How dare you play tricks on me?"
"Zhong Qiao!" Xu Shaojun rushed to the door and tried to open it with his key but failed. He then began to kick it frantically. "Zhong Qiao, do you know what you've done? If it weren't for me, your parents would have died. You're actually repaying kindness with hatred. Let me out now."
Zhong Qiao was indeed a stupid woman, mistaking him for the thief.
"Zhong Qiao." Xu Shaojun's forehead veins bulged. "My patience is limited. Don't push me."
Zhong Qiao outside the door was also confused.
Xu Shaojun.
It turned out to be Xu Shaojun.
She thought it was Uncle Lin.
Fortunately, I was smart enough to find a broom and a towel and tighten the door handle, so the person inside had no chance to get out!
When the time comes, we can just wait with Jingui and the others and everything will be easy.
But she really didn't expect it to be Xu Shaojun.
Could it be...
Was it because I was unwilling to lend him money for his studies before, so he held a grudge against me and decided to come and steal the money late at night, or was it revenge?
After so many years of marriage, Zhong Qiao was puzzled. Xu Shaojun was not an impulsive person. On the contrary, he was very concerned about his reputation. He would not take such a big risk to damage his image before getting what he wanted.
Besides, Zhong Qiao is not the only path he can take. He won’t sacrifice his whole life for this little tuition fee, right?
Zhong Qiao looked at the door handle that was slightly deformed by the other party's strong kick.
Until a flashlight came on and noisy voices were heard in the yard.
