Wen Chenlu couldn't understand why the young master would stop her from killing them.
If I hadn't arrived in time, the young master would already be in the hands of the Xing family, right?
Wen Chenlu didn't believe that Xing Zhicheng, with his ruthlessness, would choose to let Xia Che go.
Upon hearing this, the R team leader's heart leaped into his throat, and he subconsciously looked at Xia Che.
Not only him, but the other members of Group R didn't dare to breathe loudly at this moment. Although the little girl in front of them had a cute little face, no one dared to underestimate her.
The sheer oppressive aura alone was enough to keep everyone from moving an inch; such terrifying killing intent prevented them from even having the thought of resisting.
"Can't."
Xia Che shook his head firmly. He could roughly guess Wen Chenlu's thoughts. If there weren't so many people present, and if they weren't in a busy area, Xia Che might have followed Wen Chenlu's advice and let her go on a killing spree.
But reality doesn't offer so many "what ifs".
Xia Che isn't a saint; he just cares about Wen Chenlu.
Killing them all would certainly be satisfying, but the consequences would be equally severe. Xia Che did not want to risk never seeing Wen Chenlu again in this life for the sake of a momentary argument.
"Yes, young master."
Wen Chenlu was clearly unhappy, her eyebrows furrowing slightly. She didn't know how to express her feelings, and only this kind of subconscious physical action allowed Xia Che, who knew her well, to guess a little.
“There’s no other way… The Jiang City Police Department isn’t just sitting around doing nothing. In this day and age, how can they just kill someone like that? I’m doing this for your own good, silly girl…”
Xia Che gave a wry smile.
"Hello."
Xia Che raised his head towards the R group leader who was standing to the side, not daring to even breathe loudly, and asked, "Are you still going to persist? For example, you must take me to the Xing family or something."
"this……"
The leader of Group R has gone silent.
In this situation, who has the right to offer his opinion?
He instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he looked at Wen Chenlu, who was eyeing him menacingly, the words of refusal stuck in his throat.
He was not alone, nor was he afraid of death.
There are so many R-team members behind him, all waiting for his attitude.
If he insisted on not releasing her, he believed that none of the members of Group R would run away, but would fight this terrifying little girl to the death.
But that's precisely why he's conflicted.
It is now very clear that Xia Che has nothing to do with the sapphire theft.
Even if we catch him, what's the point of bringing him back to the Xing family?
Should an innocent person be implicated and tortured into confessing?
The R team leader clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.
He can't do it.
"Give up. I have nothing to do with this case. Although we haven't known each other for long, I think you're a good person. You can tell from the attitude of your brothers. Listen to me, we won't argue. There's no need to fight her to the death."
Xia Che coughed lightly and said quietly, "Just a friendly reminder, the killing intent on her body isn't something she cultivated; it's something she truly forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If I hadn't stopped her, you wouldn't even have the right to stand here right now, believe it or not?"
"letter."
The leader of Group R let out a deep breath and nodded.
The internal struggle in his mind had already been decided, and he couldn't care less about losing face by admitting it directly, since Xia Che was telling the truth.
Xia Che is right.
There's no point in fighting it out here.
It will only lead to the complete annihilation of their R team.
Even if Xia Che had nothing to do with this case, given the capabilities of their R team, they wouldn't be able to bring Xia Che back to the Xing family today.
The ending was already decided the moment Wen Chenlu appeared.
"Let's go."
The leader of Team R walked to the other side without looking back, then stopped, turned his head to look at Wen Chenlu, and said indifferently, "I admit defeat this time, but not because I'm afraid of you, but because I don't want to involve an innocent person."
"All members of Team R, retreat!"
Immediately noticing that his brothers wanted to say something more, the leader of Team R decisively interrupted them and then walked towards the exit of the venue.
Since you've already chosen to give up, don't dwell on it any longer.
Given the woman's intense killing intent, the R team leader tried his best to prevent his brothers from angering her by uttering some harsh words.
There's no need to complicate things.
"……yes!"
The members of Group R looked at each other, not understanding what Xia Che and their captain had talked about, but they all knew their captain's character over the years, so they didn't say much. At this crucial moment, they chose to trust their captain.
As the men in suits left, the place became deserted again, leaving only Xia Che and his companion.
"Just let go of me first... honestly..."
Xia Che sighed. Fortunately, the people weren't tied up too tightly. Before Wen Chenlu arrived, Xia Che had already rubbed some space between his hands, planning that if Wen Chenlu didn't arrive in time, he would have to rely on himself.
Xia Che quickly untied the ropes and tossed them on the ground. He rubbed his wrists, which were a little sore from being tied up, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the captain of Group R was easy to fool.
It was thanks to his quick thinking that he misled the R team leader's judgment; otherwise, Xia Che really wouldn't know how to handle the situation today.
We can't really let Wen Chenlu kill all those people, can we?
"This way, I've cleared myself of suspicion, but I'm not sure if I can fool that old fox Xing Zhicheng. Hmm... just to be safe, I'll stop wearing it around my neck from now on and go back to wearing it as a bracelet."
Xia Che looked at the exquisite sapphire on his wrist, which shone brightly in the setting sun, its purity visible to the naked eye.
"I've been through so much this afternoon, it's almost evening now..."
Xia Che looked up at the sky. The sun had already set. It gets dark very early these days. He estimated that it would be completely dark in a little while.
What a commotion that day...
I originally thought I could take advantage of the holiday to rest, pick out the gift for my master, and then relax.
Now it seems...
I was definitely overthinking it.
"Why does this holiday feel more tiring than not having a holiday? Damn it, today is only the first day of the holiday, will tomorrow be even more tiring than today?"
For no apparent reason, Xia Che suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
It felt like a cold wind had blown by.
"Young Master."
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Wen Chenlu, who had been watching from above the whole time, suddenly jumped down like a kite that had broken free of its string and rushed straight towards Xia Che.
Xia Che smiled and didn't flinch, standing still with his arms outstretched.
thump--
The little girl threw herself into Xia Che's arms, like a fledgling swallow nestled in his embrace.
