Chapter 691 She came to return to the regrets of many years ago
The voice on the other end of the phone was panicked and urgent.
Qiao Xi's expression became increasingly grim, and she finally said, "I understand."
Then hang up the phone.
Her fingers were trembling slightly.
It was as if I heard the news of the young man’s tragic death on that rain-washed night many years ago.
Qiao Xi's breath hitched.
That day, she didn't keep him.
This time, she couldn't leave any regrets.
Qiao Xi walked out of the bathroom quickly and shouted, "Old Chen!"
Old Chen was nearby and came running over when he heard the noise.
"Young Madam, what's wrong?"
"Prepare the car. I'm going to Shisanwan Wharf."
"Now?"
"Yes! Don't let the news leak out!"
She lifted her skirt and walked towards the elevator. Old Chen looked puzzled, but he followed her closely.
"Young Madam, Young Master..."
"Once we get in the car, I'll send him a message and tell him our whereabouts." Qiao Xi's heart felt like it was tightly wrapped and tightened by a silk thread.
His cheeks were bloodless.
Seeing her look so panicked, Old Chen quickly dispatched a few people.
The two of them went directly down from the top floor to the parking lot on the basement floor, drove the Rolls-Royce out of the Tianyuan Building.
"no."
Qiao Xi looked at the dark and cold night outside, which looked like a ferocious beast devouring flesh and blood.
"Old Chen, we can't drive over here. Find an ordinary, inconspicuous car. I...we can't reveal our identities."
She couldn't involve the entire Huo family, and she couldn't become the other party's target.
Too conspicuous!
"yes."
Old Chen didn't ask why, he just pulled over and switched with the bodyguard car behind.
These cars have all been modified and look ordinary on the outside, the kind that can't even be spotted when merging into traffic.
"Young Madam, is this okay?"
"Well! Tell them to stay outside the Thirteen Bay Wharf and not go in! If they go in, they will be too conspicuous."
Qiao Xi got in the car and forced herself to calm down.
She looked at her long dress and ripped off the hem.
Then he took out his cell phone, tapped the screen with his fingertips numb, and sent a short message to Huo Xingzhou.
Finally, she took a deep breath and took out the needle bag from her handbag.
Hold it tightly in your palm.
The night was dark, and the closer we got to the Shisanwan Pier, the more tense we felt.
It is far away from the city center and has tens of thousands of ships docked here.
The incandescent lights were dazzling, illuminating the pier as bright as day.
Freight merchants and inspections, as well as retail traders and workers carry goods back and forth.
The Shisanwan Wharf at night is even more noisy and chaotic than during the day.
When there is chaos, you can take advantage of the situation.
Old Chen pulled over and observed the Thirteen Bay Wharf. Mixed in with these people were quite a few martial artists.
He looks no different from an ordinary person, but Old Chen can recognize him with just one glance with his sharp eyes.
The vigilance is also strange.
The entrance and exit are different.
The inspection when entering is very loose, but when leaving, everyone needs to be searched and their car searched.
As if sending a signal.
You can only go in, not out.
Are you looking for someone? Or something?
"Young Madam, what should we do next?" Old Chen was fully prepared to obey Qiao Xi's orders, and whatever she said was the final word.
Qiao Xi slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. She was so anxious that she didn't even turn on the air conditioner in the car.
The weather was indeed very cold at the end of the year, but she was only wearing a dress.
It's too conspicuous to go out now.
"Go around to the left and go to Warehouse 0782. Put me down in a corner where no one can see me."
"yes."
Old Chen sensed a solemn atmosphere and did not dare to delay Qiao Xi's business.
I deliberately made a few detours before taking the long way to Warehouse 0782. I parked the car at the back door of the warehouse and carefully watched the people coming and going nearby.
Sensed something was wrong.
"Young Madam, I'll get out of the car first to distract them. You can come down when the time is right."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Lao Chen deliberately slammed the car door open, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and a cell phone in his hand, speaking in a deliberately Northeastern dialect.
It's some jargon for picking up goods.
Those suspicious-looking people just glanced at him and turned to walk to the other side.
They must be looking for someone too.
Qiao Xi took the opportunity to get out of the car and slipped into Warehouse No. 0782. Her high heels were in the way, so she threw them aside.
Walking barefoot on the cold ground.
The warehouse is huge and very cold inside.
It was a warehouse filled with seafood, and the strong smell of fish filled the air as soon as she walked in. The ground was still wet, and she was shivering in her thin dress.
Sudden.
A cold dagger was placed across her neck, and there was a strong smell of blood.
Qiao Xi's heart was in her throat.
She turned her head carefully and saw a handsome face with elegant appearance in front of her.
"I like it."
Her throat tightened as she cried out the name.
Zhong Yi's eyes flashed with astonishment, and his pale, bloodless lips opened: "Why are you here?"
She should be at the party.
As the protagonist, he enjoys all the praise and compliments, instead of appearing in this remote and dirty warehouse at Shisanwan Wharf.
He put down the dagger, covered his abdomen and looked painful.
"Wan Jiang called me. He said you were seriously injured and stuck at the Thirteen Bay Wharf, where you can only enter but not leave. He wanted me to come... to help you."
Qiao Xi looked at him, his body covered in blood, which was still flowing.
He knew that if this continued, he would really die of blood loss as Wan Jiang said.
The other party's purpose was simple, which was to trap him to death at the Shisanwan Wharf.
"Mrs. Huo, you and I have no friendship. You don't have to take such a big risk to save me. Let's leave as soon as possible. We have a way to leave the Thirteen Bay Wharf." Zhong Yi's tone was cold. He leaned against the shelf and could hardly stand up.
Those eyes were bright and cold.
"If you meet me alone in the middle of the night, people will misunderstand that you have feelings for me. Although I really want to cheat on Huo Xingzhou, I really can't do it tonight. How about... another day?"
He spoke frivolously.
There was also some playful teasing.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath. "Are you hiding here, trying to cover up the smell of blood with the fishy smell? When I came here, I saw some people outside with serious expressions, as if they were looking for someone. The exit of Shisanwan Wharf is now strictly blocked. Every car entering and leaving will be searched. Are you... sure you want to argue with me?"
She took out the needle bag and spread it out.
He took out a long needle and asked, "Stretch out your hand."
Zhong saw that she was stubborn and there was a glint of fire in his eyes, but his words were still annoying.
"Mrs. Huo, you'd better leave quickly. I have plenty of ways. This is not the place for you to be. Otherwise, I will call Huo Xingzhou right now and tell him that you abandoned him to have an affair with me..."
He knew how dangerous tonight was.
He didn't expect Wan Jiang to call her over on his own initiative.
"What can you do? Wan Jiang said he was at his wit's end, so he called me. I'm afraid he's just trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain to buy you some time, right?"
"That's none of your business!"
The injured person spoke in a bad tone and was extremely uncooperative.
Qiao Xi looked at his blood-stained clothes, her eyes filled with moisture.
Trying hard to suppress his trembling voice, he said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Tonight, she is not here to rescue anyone.
But it is about rushing towards the regrets from many years ago.
The regret that tormented her for countless days and nights.
The corners of her eyes were red, and she looked at him with suppressed pain: "I couldn't save you last time, do you think I will watch you die this time?"
