Women struggle to survive under the threat of beatings, while men fend for themselves in the cracks of society. Life is hard, and no one has it easy.
Qin Huai remained stubbornly refusing for a long time, but under Xu Xin's persistent pleas, he finally let out a deep sigh and chose to forgive her.
Xu Xin hadn't had lunch yet.
Qin Huai didn't get full after eating the noodles, so he cooked her another bowl of frozen dumplings.
After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Xin said, "I'm going back now."
Qin Huai nodded.
"The key is under the third patch of grass. You can come over whenever you want. Besides me, only you know this place."
"good."
"I've been very busy lately, so don't look for me."
"oh."
"Take this card. There are some things in the back compartment of the refrigerator in the kitchen, for emergencies."
"Um."
Xu Xin walked to the front door, paused again, and turned back to ask Qin Huai, "What exactly is our relationship?"
Qin Huai countered, "What do you think?"
Xu Xin remained silent for a long time before saying, "Let's just be friends."
Qin Huai smiled.
Bang.
The door closed.
The sound of the motor soon began.
Qin Huai yawned and suddenly felt quite bored.
He fiddled with the thin metal card in his hand and went to the kitchen.
I moved the refrigerator aside and saw that the color of the wall was slightly lighter.
After fiddling around for a moment, I stuck the metal card somewhere.
With a soft click, the partition wall sank down, revealing a space about one meter square.
Six firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, bulletproof vests, night vision goggles, thermal detectors...
Qin Huai clicked his tongue.
Zhi Ge is indeed a skilled strategist.
How exactly were these things brought over through all those checkpoints?
After waiting for more than half an hour, Qin Huai also left Tianhua Green Villa.
I took a taxi back to the Phoenix Lake villa area.
Several bodyguards were guarding the villa, but neither Su Huaijun nor Lu Qingxue were there.
Qin Huai saw a pair of brand-name counterfeit shoes, cleaned thoroughly, in front of his bedroom door.
"Did Lu Qingxue wash it for me?"
Qin Huai remained silent for a moment, then picked up his shoes and went back to his room.
After closing the door, Qin Huai dialed Glasses' number.
"Brother, what's wrong now?" Glasses seemed to be feeling a bit better.
"What kind of tone is that? Do you think I'm begging you for a favor? Don't forget that this is your duty!" Qin Huai said displeased.
"No... I just know your strength too well..." Glasses retorted.
Qin Huai constantly caused him trouble, never letting him have a moment's peace.
We've hired a cleaner so many times already.
"Stop talking nonsense, has the application been submitted? What did they say?"
Qin Huai wanted to find out who had posted Lu Qingxue's bounty on the assassin's website.
But glasses can't do that.
To break through the backend of the assassin bounty website, the only option is to seek help from the Red Alliance.
This requires Qin Huai to apply to higher authorities, who will then coordinate and make arrangements.
"Uh, I was just about to talk to you about this... The higher-ups said there's nothing they can do lately, the conflict with the West is getting more and more intense, we've already clashed three times, and neither side has won."
"The Black War has already begun. The Red Alliance is fighting Jerusalem every day, their keyboards are practically smoking from typing..."
"I know... Oh, by the way, the gift I bought for you will arrive soon, remember to come and pick it up then."
"Brother, I suddenly feel that bright red wreaths are more festive..."
"Get lost."
Qin Huai hung up the phone, his brows furrowed.
With the conflict with the West intensifying, the Red Alliance is unable to spare any personnel, which is a helpless situation.
But Lu Qingxue's bounty remained hanging there, which was always a troublesome matter.
If you're a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?
The Dark Night Squad has also left Chongcheng. The bodyguards around Lu Qingxue are no match for real assassins.
If something were to happen to Lu Qingxue, not to mention the losses, Qin Huai himself would be reluctant to let it happen.
"There's no other way but to act cute..."
Qin Huai found Aunt Lan's phone number and dialed it.
"Aunt Lan, I miss you so much! Sending you love, muah..."
After a long while, Qin Huai hung up the phone, satisfied.
Men who know how to be charming and affectionate have pretty good lives.
Aunt Lan promised to send elite bodyguards to protect Lu Qingxue and would also find top hackers to find the person behind the bounty on Lu Qingxue.
"Lu Qingxue, Lu Qingxue, I've even abandoned all pretense of dignity for you! You must repay me properly in the future."
Boom boom...
The engine started to roar.
Lu Qingxue's globally limited edition car appeared before Qin Huai.
Lu Qingxue got out of the car and strode into the house.
He poured himself a glass of water, drank it, and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
"Ms. Lu, you are not pregnant. The reason your period hasn't come is because you've been overworked lately. Get some rest, keep a good mood, and avoid cold and spicy foods. You'll recover soon."
The doctor's words echoed in my ears.
For a moment, Lu Qingxue didn't know how she felt.
I can't say whether I feel regret or relief.
It's very complicated.
Qin Huai quietly opened the door a crack to peek in, then closed it again.
I collapsed onto the bed, intending to take a good nap.
In a daze, there was another roar of an engine.
Su Huaijun is back.
"Hey, Qingxue, why are you back so early today?" Su Huaijun asked curiously.
Lu Qingxue stretched and said, "Are you trying to kill me with work? Can't you relax a bit, no matter how busy you are?"
Su Huaijun chuckled and sat down next to Lu Qingxue, taking her arm and saying, "I'd rather you be busy these next couple of days, finish your work, and come see my performance."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there in person and be the first to present you with flowers. Is that enough support?"
