As soon as she stepped outside, she heard the sounds of fighting coming from downstairs.
Gunshots rang out and knives clanged; the fighting was extremely intense.
Carefully keep close to the wall and make quiet footsteps as you descend the stairs.
As soon as she reached the top of the stairs, she spotted Beishan, who had been sent out by Xiao Wujie on business some time ago and had just returned to the manor in the last two days.
He was carefully hiding behind a pillar, his fat head peeking out slightly. When he saw the scene of blood splattering everywhere outside, he immediately squinted his eyes and pulled his head back, his chin flesh piling up in layers.
Lin Qingyi quickly approached him, patted his shoulder, her eyes serious, and spoke rapidly:
"Beishan, what's the situation outside?"
Feeling someone tap his shoulder, Beishan trembled in fright. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Lin Qingyi, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
He waved to Lin Qingyi, signaling her to hide and avoid being discovered.
Lin Qingyi's expression froze for a second upon seeing this, then she followed his instructions and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, pressing her body against the stone pillar.
After confirming that no one seemed to have noticed them, Beishan turned his head and whispered to her:
"Yunmo, Chuwan, and that Mr. Ye are fighting them in the hall. Although they have taken down quite a few, there are a lot of them, so the situation is not good."
As he spoke, he pulled out a technologically advanced tablet that he had modified, displaying a 3D model of the manor on its screen.
Their location is shown as a few green dots surrounded by a dense cluster of red dots. The green dots represent the group of people and a few servants, while the dense cluster of red dots naturally represents the black-clad men who suddenly attacked.
However, according to the screen, outside the main house where they were, there was a dense cluster of red dots constantly approaching their location.
"Can you determine their origins and purpose?"
Lin Qingyi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and knowing his ability to search for information, she immediately asked him a question.
"The black-clad mask and unremarkable weapon make it difficult to determine their identity."
"As for the purpose..."
He paused abruptly, then looked at Lin Qingyi with a somewhat ambiguous expression. After a moment of contemplation, he looked directly at Lin Qingyi and slowly began to speak:
“Only your room was shot at by a single person, and someone went inside.”
"These people in the lobby were actually stopped by Yunmo and the others after they heard the commotion. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to want to go upstairs and form a pincer movement with the people who entered your room."
Lin Qingyi's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this; Beishan's meaning was already quite clear.
That means these people might be after her!
She has stayed by Xiao Wujie's side all these years, living in seclusion behind the scenes and rarely showing her face in public. She has never made enemies with anyone. Who would want to deal with her in this way?
A chilling face involuntarily flashed through my mind, and my heart trembled involuntarily.
However, she quickly dismissed the idea, as Xiao Wujie had personally told her that the person had already been dealt with and it couldn't possibly be his.
Shaking off the jumbled thoughts in her mind and forcing herself to calm down, she spoke again:
"Beishan, have you contacted any outside help?"
The strongest members, Xiao Wujie and his group, had left and had not yet returned. With only a few people in the manor, it would be difficult for them to deal with so many attackers of unknown origin.
"I made contact, but they cut off the signal here beforehand. I had to use some special methods to send the message to Miss Chu's family."
"They should have received it by now, but it will take them some time to get here."
Upon hearing this, Beishan, who was cautiously peeking out to observe the situation outside, immediately withdrew his head, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness.
A hint of coldness crept into Lin Qingyi's eyes, and her handsome brows furrowed tightly.
The signal was cut off in advance, which clearly indicates that it was premeditated and meticulously planned, and the timing happened to be the two days after Xiao Wujie and Chu Liyue left.
The various strange phenomena made her feel as if an invisible hand was driving everything from behind the scenes.
His gaze darkened as he peered outside. "Beishan, do you have a gun?"
"Hmm... Sister Qingyi, I still suggest we hide here together for a while."
Sensing her intention, Beishan hesitated slightly before speaking earnestly.
All the information suggests that these people are very likely after Lin Qingyi.
Going out now would be tantamount to walking into a trap.
Lin Qingyi did not reply to him, but stared at him without moving her eyes.
She knew he must have it.
She could also understand the implication in his words.
However, she also had her own considerations. In fact, Yunmo and the others could have easily left with her. Although they did not have the abnormal strength of Xiao Wujie and the others, they could still have escaped unscathed.
The reason they persevered under such immense pressure was that the entrance to the underground laboratory was located inside this main villa.
The No. 2 and No. 3 reagents, as well as all the results of their day and night research during this period, are all here.
There can be no room for error here!
Deep down, she actually hoped that the other party was really after her; if so, she would rather walk right into their trap.
Under her intense gaze, Beishan quickly gave in, hesitatingly pulled a gun from his pocket, and handed it to her with a hint of helplessness.
Lin Qingyi gave him a gentle smile and then threw the long sword she had taken from the man in black into his hand.
"I'll trade you this."
After saying that, he turned and rushed outside.
Looking at the long sword in his hand, Beishan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't know how to use it either!
Moreover, someone as valuing his life as much as he does, how could he possibly only carry one gun?
