Xia Hongdou got angry: "I didn't say anything when you went out with other women, and you still act so self-righteous."
"Incomprehensible."
Ye Qiu took a step and walked away.
Where are you going?
Xia Hongdou asked.
"Go home, it's okay if I quit this job," Ye Qiu said.
"You're not allowed to leave," Xia Hongdou said anxiously.
But Ye Qiu ignored her and walked straight outside.
Once outside, Ye Qiu intended to go straight back to his rented apartment, but he keenly sensed that several people nearby were acting strangely and were frequently glancing towards Xia Hongdou's apartment.
Thinking back to the assassin from last time, Ye Qiu frowned.
It seems someone is trying to kill Xia Hongdou.
If I were to leave like this, Xia Hongdou and Tang Keke would most likely suffer a terrible fate.
Just then, Xia Hongdou ran out and grabbed Ye Qiu: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have interfered in your personal affairs. Please don't be angry, okay?"
"good."
Ye Qiu went down the steps and said, "Let's go back."
"Huh? So easy to coax?"
Xia Hongdou was astonished.
"You seem easy to appease, should I leave?"
"No, no, let's go home."
Xia Hongdou hurriedly said.
Little did she know, Ye Qiu returned only to save her life.
“Brother Ye, Sister Hongdou only said those things because she cares about you. If she didn’t care, she wouldn’t care about you. Don’t take it to heart.”
Tang Keke said.
"No, don't worry. By the way, you two go to the bedroom and stay there, don't come out."
Ye Qiu said softly.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Hongdou hurriedly said.
Tang Keke couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ye Qiu said, "There are a few people lurking outside, probably assassins. I think they will definitely come in."
"Ah, then why don't we just leave first and go out the back door?"
Tang Keke was very scared.
"Why would we leave? We can't just walk away from our temple." Xia Hongdou said in a deep voice, "It must be that factory that we cooperate with again that sent people. It's clearly their problem, but they insist on making us pay compensation. It's outrageous. They're just going to keep causing trouble."
"I'll ask around later. If it's confirmed to be that factory, take me there, and I'll help you solve this problem completely," Ye Qiu said.
"Of course we're sure. Apart from that factory, our Xia family hasn't offended anyone else."
Xia Hongdou said.
"Sister Hongdou, have you forgotten? There seems to be some grudge between us and the Su family of Jiangnan, perhaps...?"
Tang Keke hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
"You think it was an assassin sent by the Su family? I think it's impossible. A powerful family like the Su family wouldn't do something so despicable."
Xia Hongdou said seriously.
"Wait, how could your family and the Su family have a grudge?" Ye Qiu asked hurriedly.
"That's a long story."
Xia Hongdou felt a little embarrassed.
"Then I'll get to the point." Ye Qiu looked like he absolutely had to know.
Left with no other choice, Xia Hongdou said, "It's like this. Last year, I almost got married to Su Nan from the Su family. The date was even set, but I was really unwilling to become a sacrifice in a marriage between two clans, so... I broke off the engagement. That's how we started to have a grudge. But so much time has passed. I don't think it's possible that the Su family sent an assassin. Besides, with the Su family's power, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths to kill me."
"The analysis makes a lot of sense. It can't be the Su family. I've met Su Nan before, and he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like this."
Ye Qiu smiled.
"Uh? When did you meet Su Nan?"
Xia Hongdou was surprised.
"Just today, when I went out to eat with Zhou Qianjing, I not only met Su Nan, but also his sister Su Ruoshui. Neither of them seemed like difficult people to get along with. You'll probably regret breaking off the engagement back then."
Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"I won't regret it," Xia Hongdou said. "I know that people from southern Jiangsu are not bad, but I just can't develop romantic feelings for him."
"What about Brother Ye?"
Tang Keke asked abruptly.
"Is he alright...? Uh, Tang Keke, you're courting death."
Xia Hongdou suddenly realized what was happening.
"Hehe, you said you weren't interested in Brother Ye, but it turns out you were just saying that."
Tang Keke giggled.
I'll beat you to death.
Enraged, Xia Hongdou lunged at Tang Keke.
"Stop, everyone, be quiet, someone's coming in."
Ye Qiu said seriously.
As soon as Ye Qiu said those words, Tang Keke and Xia Hongdou immediately stopped their commotion and became very nervous.
"They really came, five people."
Tang Keke whispered, her eyes fixed on the view outside the window.
"I'll go out and deal with them. You two don't come out, in case anything unexpected happens."
After giving a stern warning, Ye Qiu walked outside alone.
"You...you be careful."
Xia Hongdou couldn't help but remind her.
Ye Qiu waved his hand without saying a word, quickened his pace, and soon walked out the door to face the five uninvited guests.
"The Su family of Jiangnan has come to take Xia Hongdou's life. All irrelevant persons, please step aside."
The man in the lead had a deep, menacing voice.
The Su family of Jiangnan?
Ye Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Please be more professional. If it were the Su family, they definitely wouldn't act like this. I bet you're some low-level assassins hired by a factory, right? Well, a small factory can only afford small fry like you."
"presumptuous."
"Big brother, should we kill him or not?"
"Kill them." The leader gritted his teeth, his eyes cold.
"kill."
In an instant, the four of them rushed towards Ye Qiu, each holding a gleaming, extremely sharp weapon.
"Oh no, oh no, these guys are all carrying knives. Is Ye Qiu going to kick the bucket?"
Tang Keke's face turned deathly pale.
"Nonsense, if you can't speak properly, shut up and watch carefully."
Xia Hongdou said angrily.
"Okay, why are you being so fierce?"
