Night fell, shrouding the entire Anshou Village in darkness.
Several beams of flashlight beam shot out, tearing a hole in the thick night and sharply illuminating a corner of Anshou Village.
Cui Ziqi stood facing the wind, his trench coat fluttering in the breeze. His obsidian-like eyes gleamed coldly as he lowered his gaze and coldly looked at the people kneeling on the ground before him. A single glance from him made them tremble.
Zuo Cheng walked over and spoke to Cui Ziqi in a low voice.
"Brother Qi, someone disguised as a property management staff member entered the Haiquan residential complex. Our people apprehended him and confirmed that he was arranged by your father."
Cui Ziqi's lips curved into a chilling smile.
The person kneeling on the ground trembled even more violently.
"Since you enjoy spy games so much, why don't you go check out a real hand-to-hand combat arena?"
Zuo Cheng nodded, signaling to take the person kneeling on the ground away.
The person kneeling on the ground was gagged and dragged away, leaving pools of blood that snaked across the ground, tearing away the mask of this secret assassination.
Zuo Cheng arranged for someone to clean up the bloodstains on the ground, and when he turned around, he saw Cui Ziqi staring blankly at the bloodstains on the ground.
His dark eyes were empty and hollow, the curve of his lips had disappeared, and his expression was wooden. His body stood there, but his soul seemed to have drifted far away.
Zuo Cheng quickly walked to Cui Ziqi's side.
"Brother Qi".
Cui Ziqi's expression gradually returned to normal, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the earthen house where Xia Wan was.
He squinted and murmured, "Zuo Cheng, I think I know why she approached me."
"What?"
Zuo Cheng was completely bewildered.
Cui Ziqi offered no explanation, but simply walked towards the earthen house.
Zuo Cheng was about to follow when he heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar. He turned around and saw Liang Qi rushing over after hearing the noise.
The blood on the ground hadn't been cleaned up yet when the police arrived.
This is really difficult.
He cursed under his breath and turned around to block Liang Qi's view of Cui Ziqi.
"Officer Liang, if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them for you."
Two gazes met.
Liang Qi's eyes were sharp, and his hand slowly tightened around the gun at his waist.
...
Cui Ziqi strode towards the earthen house.
That unfamiliar and eerie mechanical voice kept echoing in my ears.
Only when you fall 100% in love with Xia Wan will she have a chance to return to her own world. You think she chose you, but that's just her mission.
He would hear that voice from time to time, ever since the Demon Nightclub.
The first time was at the Chimei Nightclub, when Xia Wan stood at the door of Fu Li's office, looking so weak she was almost dying.
The voice in my mind was cold and intermittent.
If you kill someone, Xia Wan will die.
The second time was when Xia Wan was drawing butterflies on his shoulder, he heard a clear electronic sound.
She wants you to fall in love with her; she claims to be your savior, but she just wants to gain your trust.
The third time, which is just now.
The voice haunted his mind like a ghost, impossible to shake off.
The more you like Xia Wan, the shorter the time she stays away. If you want to monitor Xia Wan's departure time in real time, please bind your system account ("Rebel Account"). The system will update Xia Wan's departure time for you at any time. Please select OK to agree.
It was at this moment that Cui Ziqi understood why Xia Wan, who had liked Zheng Minghuai for three years, would launch a fierce offensive against him in an instant.
It turns out she was just using him, just like when she used Zheng Minghuai.
He walked to the door of the hut.
Jiang Na rushed out in a panic, and when she saw Cui Ziqi coming over, she quickly went up to her.
"Brother Qi, Xia Wan is in trouble."
Cui Ziqi's pupils contracted, and he pushed Jiang Na aside and rushed into the house.
The bedroom window was wide open, but Xia Wan was nowhere to be seen.
"Xia Wan?"
Cui Ziqi's voice trembled almost imperceptibly.
Jiang Na, who followed them in, quickly began to explain what had just happened.
"Five minutes ago, I heard the sound of a bedroom window being broken. I wanted to go into the bedroom to check, but I found that the bedroom door was locked from the inside. I called for Miss Xia, but she didn't respond. So I went outside and searched along the mud house, but I couldn't find any trace of Miss Xia..."
"Well!"
Before Jiang Na could finish speaking, Cui Ziqi grabbed her neck tightly.
Cui Ziqi's eyes were sinister, shooting towards Jiang Na through the cold white light in the air, as terrifying as a demon.
I want to hear the truth!
Jiang Na's face flushed red instantly from suffocation, and a flash of panic crossed her eyes after hearing Cui Ziqi's extremely cold voice.
After dismissing Liang Qi, Zuo Cheng followed and saw his brother Qi grabbing Jiang Na by the neck as soon as he entered the room.
The force was so strong it seemed it could twist Jiang Na's neck off.
He quickly stepped forward to warn, "Brother Qi, you're about to strangle Jiang Na!"
Cui Ziqi kept a stern face, showing no intention of letting Jiang Na off the hook.
He only threw Jiang Na out like trash when she was almost unconscious.
Jiang Na slammed into the wall, her knees and arms hitting the ground hard as she landed. Cold air rushed into her lungs, and she coughed violently.
Cui Ziqi still stood in front of her with a cold face, looking down at her condescendingly.
“With your skills, locking the door is no problem at all. When I came over, you came out from inside the house. You didn’t look for Xia Wan outside the earthen house at all.”
Cui Ziqi's eyes were starting to turn bloodshot.
"Jiang Na, you know the consequences of deceiving me."
Jiang Na's face was pale, and the fingers she touched her throat were slightly bent.
Zuo Cheng stood beside him, barely daring to breathe.
cheat.
For Qi Ge, this was something unforgivable.
Jiang Na had worked under Qi Ge for so many years, she couldn't possibly be unaware of Qi Ge's sore spot, yet she insisted on walking right into the line of fire.
