The door was flung open with a bang, and the warehouse immediately lit up.
"Master, are you alright?" The driver rushed in with his men, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shura was unharmed.
"Go find out where the thugs are, and also find a document I signed," Xiu Luo instructed, carefully helping Qi Fei up. "Fei'er, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up first."
"Okay." Qifei didn't refuse. She felt a slight downward pressure in her stomach and wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up to put her mind at ease.
The Xiu family quickly found the thug, but he was lying on the ground, clutching the document that Shura had mentioned earlier, with a look of terror on his face. When they went to check on him, they found that he was already dead.
The family members were wise enough not to touch the perpetrator's body; they simply removed the documents, called the police, and waited for them to arrive.
Because it was Xiu's family who reported the case, the police arrived quickly. They were also surprised to see the dead perpetrator. The forensic doctor examined the cause of death and confirmed that he had indeed died from shock.
In other words, the perpetrator was scared to death.
Because of this, the police chief personally led a team to find Xiu Luo, hoping to take a statement from him and Song Qifei.
Shura still gave him face, briefly describing what happened after he entered the warehouse, and said calmly, "I never saw the thug from beginning to end, I only heard his voice."
“I didn’t even know where he was talking to me, so I have no idea how he died.”
“My wife was with me at the time. She was tied up by the assailants and hung up. I was checking her for injuries.”
The police chief's gaze fell on Qifei, who was lying on the hospital bed. Her belly was protruding, and she looked very weak. "Is Madam alright?"
"She was frightened, and the fetus is a little unstable. She needs to rest." Shura patted Qifei's head, his eyes full of apology.
The thugs wanted the Xiu family's shares, and she was definitely implicated because of them.
“In that case, we won’t disturb Mrs. Xiu’s rest any longer.” The police chief stood up with his men. “Mr. Xiu, we will contact you again after we have identified the perpetrator.”
The police chief thought that Shura was really unlucky. He was from a wealthy family, but he encountered a ungrateful person who dared to kidnap a pregnant woman. Even if the person didn't die, he would spend his whole life in jail.
Once outside the ward, the police officer next to him asked the chief, "Chief, does that mean the deaths of these criminals have nothing to do with Shura and his wife?"
"It seems so so. The man was scared to death, and apart from some traces left by Madam Xiu, there is nothing of Shura around the assailant."
"What Shura said must be true. And Madam Shu is pregnant, with such a big belly. The thugs' physiques are not even in the same league as hers. It's definitely not her who did anything."
"That's strange. How did the assailant die? The forensic report is out, and it says he was indeed scared to death."
"According to Mr. Xiu, the assailant suddenly went silent while he was talking to them, and they didn't know what happened."
Both of them were completely baffled as to what exactly had scared the perpetrator to death.
Have you done too many bad things? No one would believe that.
The police's discussion was naturally irrelevant to the two people in the ward. Shura laid Qifei's hospital bed flat and said softly, "Rest for a while. I'll have your family make some nourishing soup and send it over."
"Mmm." Qifei nodded obediently, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
Shura grasped her hand, his gaze lingering on the gauze on her wrist.
While he was treating her wounds, Song Qifei didn't cry once. In the past, she would have cried nonstop, but this time she just hid in his arms, trembling silently.
This undoubtedly made Shura's heart ache even more than before, and he felt even more compelled to drag the villain out and whip his corpse; scaring him to death would be too good for him.
A ruthless glint flashed in Shura's eyes. Once he found the mastermind behind this, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
Seeing that Qifei was asleep, Xiuluo picked up his phone and left the ward.
Only after the system's Shura left did it speak apologetically, "Host, are you alright? It's all my fault. If I hadn't left at the last minute, you wouldn't have gotten injured."
It knew perfectly well how delicate Qifei was, and the fact that she hadn't uttered a sound despite suffering such a serious injury made it think she was scared out of her wits.
"It's nothing." The system replied leisurely in Qifei's mind, who had been asleep.
[Luckily you went to evolve in time and brought my old treasures with you, otherwise even if you were here, I wouldn't have been able to deal with them smoothly.]
[That scumbag deserves to die, but what exactly did he see?] The system was very curious. It knew that Qifei had stabbed the thug with a needle while he was tying her up.
The thugs didn't take it seriously at the time. After tying up Qifei, they even touched her face and laughed lewdly, "Little beauty, when your man comes, I'll let you two reunite first. After I get what I want, I'll come and have some fun with you."
"Don't even mention it, I've never fucked a pregnant woman before, it'll definitely be exciting." The thug laughed arrogantly, completely oblivious to the cold glint in Qi Fei's eyes.
Let him be smug for a few minutes, and when the time is up, let's see if he can still be smug.
The needle that Qifei used to prick her was actually a pine tree spirit's leaf. It was a hallucinogenic needle that they made when they had nothing better to do, by combining the pine tree spirit's leaf with an extract of datura flower essence.
They've experimented with this needle. Kind-hearted people generally see warm and comforting visions, while those with malicious intentions, even those with a hint of darkness in their hearts, will experience unpredictable results after being pricked.
However, these are all fantasies. The fact that the criminal was scared to death by his own fantasy is unprecedented.
Qifei felt no remorse. Although she was simple and kind by nature, in her opinion, anyone who bullied her deserved to die.

"Mr. Xiu, it's like this. During our examination, we found that Mrs. Xiu showed signs of premature labor, so we suggested that she stay in the hospital for a while longer. We are now doing our best to help her maintain the pregnancy and hope that the baby can stay in the womb a little longer."
The doctor took the test results to Xiu Luo and gave him serious advice.
"This is Miss Song's third pregnancy, so she is more likely to be born prematurely than others, and now the pregnancy is even more unstable."
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Shura nodded. He had originally planned to take Song Qifei home, but since the doctor did not recommend leaving the hospital, he would stay there a little longer.
Shura pushed open the door and saw that Qifei was still asleep. He slowed his pace, wanting to get things done quickly before Qifei gave birth.
