Mu Xiaocheng felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped by something, her breathing became rapid, and sweat kept seeping from her forehead.
Why did the power suddenly go out?
She forced herself to stay calm, took a few deep breaths, and tried to stand up, but her whole body was weak and her legs were trembling.
She's really useless.
The fear in my heart surged like waves, one after another.
Mu Xiaocheng sat stiffly in the chair, trying to find her phone on the table. Suddenly, the phone rang.
She was startled and froze, her gaze falling on the caller ID on her phone screen.
Ji Huaishen.
With trembling hands and a still stiff body, she picked up the phone on the table and pressed the answer button.
His deep, gentle voice reached her ears from the other end of the phone.
"Don't be afraid."
Just two words, yet they inexplicably brought Mu Xiaocheng a lot of peace of mind.
The fear in my heart slowly disappeared.
She pursed her lips, her voice trembling as she said, "How...how did you know..."
"I told Chi Yan that nothing will happen. Don't be afraid."
Ji Huaishen's voice was deep and steady, making people feel very at ease.
He really does know everything.
He also guessed that someone would make a move while he was away from Yundu.
Unexpectedly, that person actually set his sights on his precious possession.
Mu Xiaocheng was taken aback when she heard Chi Yan's name.
A late banquet?
So, when Ji Huaishen and Chi Yan went to the training room today and stayed for so long, it wasn't actually to "spar"?
"Mu Mu".
His voice rang out again, gentle yet tinged with worry.
"What?"
Mu Xiaocheng bit her lower lip tightly, her clenched hands covered in sweat.
Are you still afraid now?
Mu Xiaocheng is scared now, but she no longer feels the same fear as before, and feels a little more at ease.
"kind of."
"I'm here." Ji Huaishen held his phone, glanced at the dark night sky, and walked steadily toward the Lou family mansion.
When are you coming back?
Mu Xiaocheng didn't know where he went, but her intuition told her that he must have gone to a very dangerous place, otherwise he would definitely have taken her with him.
She won't be left alone.
"I'll be back at dawn."
Ji Huaishen stopped in his tracks, his voice low and deep, as if he were making some important promise.
Mu Xiaocheng gripped her phone tightly, and for some reason, her eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
She sniffed, about to speak, when she heard a gunshot from the other end of the phone.
Then came wave after wave.
She was instantly stunned and quickly shouted into the other end, "Ji Huaishen!"
Ji Huaishen did not respond.
Mu Xiaocheng panicked. At that moment, the fear in her heart surged up again, but this fear was different from any she had felt before.
More than anything, it was worry and fear.
Where is he?
Why were there gunshots?
Just then, there was a knock on Mu Xiaocheng's door, and Chi Yan's voice rang out from outside: "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
"Do you have anything to light up around you? If so..."
Before Chi Yan could finish speaking, the door was suddenly opened.
Mu Xiaocheng stood at the door, holding her phone in one hand for light and gripping the doorknob with the other.
"Sister-in-law, you..."
Brother Shen said... that your wife is afraid of the dark, right?
Why do you seem so unafraid?
Where is Ji Huaishen?
Mu Xiaocheng's face turned pale, and she raised her voice as if she were questioning him.
Chi Yan lowered his head, stammering as he tried to make up a place, when suddenly a gunshot rang out downstairs.
