Wanruo immediately held her breath and concentrated, not daring to move again.
There were sounds of approaching footsteps outside. It was the killer who came upstairs to search.
"That damned King Xuan wasn't just a stand-in. The real King Xuan must still be hiding in this building. We've surrounded him so tightly, how could he possibly escape? We must find him!"
The killers kicked the doors of the private rooms one by one and entered, killing people as soon as they entered. The screams were getting closer and closer, and the sound of their searching footsteps was getting closer and closer.
Finally, Wanruo heard a loud kick on the door, and their private room was kicked open.
Her heart tightened, and her hands gripping Xie Xianyu's clothes tightened even more.
At this time, a group of secret guards hiding on the roof heard the approaching footsteps and pressed the handles of their guns.
"Boss, shall we kill them now?"
The leader, Fu Xian, didn't even turn his head and said, "Kill them all! The master hasn't spoken yet."
Inside the room, the killers rushed in and looked around the empty private room, but saw no one.
"Is this room empty?"
The leading assassin searched carefully. He glanced at the wardrobe in the corner and walked over slowly.
Wanruo saw the approaching figure through the crack in the door, her face turned pale and her breathing stopped.
As Xie Xianyu listened to the approaching footsteps, the three dark arrows between his fingers were ready to be used.
Suddenly, he heard some noises outside the window. The killer immediately turned around and shouted, "Chase! Don't let him get away!"
Upon hearing this, the killers quickly jumped out of the window, and soon the room was empty again.
On the roof, Fu Xian threw away the stones that were knocking on the window: "The city defense battalion is about to arrive, retreat."
"Aren't you going down to answer the master?"
Fu Xian slapped him on the forehead and said, "Master, is there anyone willing to listen to your words now? Retreat immediately!"
The secret guards immediately slipped away.
When Wanruo heard the noise outside fading away, her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down, and she breathed a sigh of relief as if all the strength had been lifted off her body.
She immediately tried to push Xie Xianyu away, but he held her tightly in his arms.
“There’s no one left!”
He remained unmoved, his dark eyes locked on hers, and he lowered his head towards the two lips that had tempted him for so long.
Wanruo's voice was icy: "Is this what you said about not forcing me anymore?"
He paused slightly, raised his eyes filled with desire, and saw her expressionless little face.
"Xie Xianyu, even though I'm not worth it, I'm not someone you can abuse."
His heart suddenly tightened, and the anger that had just risen subsided in an instant. He subconsciously let go of the hands that were holding her waist.
She pushed him away harshly and walked out of the closet.
Glancing out the window, she saw that the city defense camp had arrived and the killers had already fled. She immediately walked out, not wanting to stay any longer.
The streets were already deserted, blood was everywhere, and there were several unattended corpses. The Mid-Autumn Festival, which had been a noisy and festive occasion just a moment ago, had now turned into a hell on earth with mountains of corpses and a sea of fire.
Wanruo strode forward with a grim expression, feeling only regret in her heart. She shouldn't have come. Even if she had to use all her family fortune to bribe the Jingzhao Yin, she shouldn't have anything to do with Xie Xianyu anymore!
When did he ever treat her as a human being? In the past, Xie Fu was a plaything that could be summoned at any time, and now she is a woman who can be enjoyed at any time.
