The man, carrying Er'er, entered the factory. Seeing Xiao Li bound, he removed the gag from his mouth and asked, "Who are you...?"
After catching his breath, Xiao Li quickly told him, "Madam is locked in the cold storage at the back."
The man didn't say anything more after hearing this, and asked again, "Do you know where the cold storage is?"
"I don't know." Xiao Li shook his head.
The man could only place his hopes on Er'er, "Lead the way for me."
As she spoke, she grabbed him and led him to the back.
Er'er never agreed to take him to find the person, but the man seemed to be able to read people's minds and insisted on walking towards the cold storage where Qiao Xi and Jun Jiuge were imprisoned.
As he walked, the man observed Er'er's expression.
To outsiders, Er'er's face seemed expressionless, but to the man, it was written all over his face.
The row behind is all cold storage, but it's hard to say exactly which one it is.
The man could only keep walking forward, glancing at Er'er's expression every now and then. Finally, he stopped in front of a cold storage room. "Here?"
Er'er naturally wouldn't tell him, but the subtle changes in his facial expression betrayed him.
The man almost certainly started to open the cold storage door, warning him beforehand, "Don't move."
But as soon as the man turned around, Er'er seized the opportunity to attack him from behind, but this time she still failed.
As a result, Er'er was knocked unconscious by the man, who said helplessly, "I told you not to move, but you wouldn't listen. I'm not sick, but I have eyes in the back of my head. Whoever touches me from behind is unlucky."
The cold storage door opened, and the man immediately saw Qiao Xi and Jun Jiuge inside, their bodies covered in frost. He quickly walked in, saying, "This is bad."
The man originally thought that Qiao Xi was the only one inside, but he saw two people.
He carried both of them out of the cold storage as quickly as possible and then began to check their vital signs.
Jun Jiuge was alright, but Qiao Xi was clearly very weak, almost lifeless.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you still alive?" The man gently patted Qiao Xi's face, not forgetting to rub her arms and hands to warm her up.
But after a while, she still didn't react at all.
"Hey..." the man suddenly became a little anxious, "Miss Xiaobai?"
As Qiao Xi's face gradually regained its color, she was momentarily stunned. They looked so alike!
He didn't believe it before, but now that he's seen this living person, he has no choice but to believe it.
Qiao Xi's breathing gradually became steady, and the man finally breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself, "My little darling, you can't be hurt. If anything happens to you, I'll be guilty of a terrible sin."
After a while, Qiao Xi slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry and her consciousness was hazy. She subconsciously murmured, "Am I... reborn again?"
The man was completely relieved to see her open her eyes, but he didn't hear what she said. "What did you say?"
Qiao Xi vaguely saw a man in front of her, but it wasn't her A Jin; it must be a stranger. She asked weakly, "Who are you?"
The man said nonchalantly, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that you're alright."
"Am I not dead?" Qiao Xi was unsure whether she was dreaming or had been reborn again.
Her consciousness blurred once again, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
Just as the man was about to pick her up and take her to the hospital, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
To avoid revealing his identity, he carefully helped Qiao Xi lean against the wall, and then he hid to the side.
"Xi'er!"
Seeing Qiao Xi leaning against the wall, Qi Jincheng rushed to her side anxiously and gently pulled her into his arms. "Xi'er, wake up!"
Although Qiao Xi didn't open her eyes, Qi Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief as he felt her even breathing. Without hesitation, he picked her up and loudly ordered He Fan, "To the hospital!"
He Fan quickly signaled the bodyguards he had brought to clear the way, but he also noticed two people, one of whom was actually the third young lady of the Jun family.
He didn't know the other man, nor had he ever seen him before.
The bodyguards who remained asked him, "What should we do with these two?"
He Fan had no choice but to make the decision himself, "Let's take them all back first."
In the suburbs, Qingzhu Temple.
The man stood at the temple entrance, feeling completely out of place. He genuinely couldn't understand why that person wanted to live there.
Even though he paid for the temple to be built, there's no need for him to treat it as his home; he's not a monk.
Even if he wanted to offer a price, Buddha probably wouldn't accept it; his sins were too grave.
People like them are definitely not going to the Western Paradise, but the underworld probably wouldn't dare to take them in either.
The scent of incense calmed the man's slightly agitated heart, and he found the so-called meditation room where the person lived.
Pushing open the door, I saw that figure who seemed to have isolated himself from the world.
The man went inside and immediately closed the door.
The man inside turned around immediately upon hearing the noise and asked, "Where did you go?"
"I went to rescue someone," the man replied casually, then sat down and poured himself some tea without ceremony.
Upon hearing this, the man inside's face suddenly showed concern. "Has something happened to her?"
The man said calmly, "You were so close, you would never have seen her."
"Didn't I tell you to protect her?" the man inside said, his tone becoming more urgent.
The man didn't feel it was his duty to protect others, but because the other person was also very important to him, he felt it was indeed his responsibility this time.
After a two-second silence, the man said with a hint of guilt, "Something happened over there, so I went to take care of it."
"Don't worry about what's going on over there for now," the man inside said decisively.
Seeing his anxious expression, the man couldn't help but tease him, "Oh, so you're worried now?"
“What were you doing earlier?” he scolded him bluntly.
The man inside also sighed heavily and said with self-reproach, "I'm sorry to them, mother and daughter."
The man gave him a disdainful look, "Alright, what's the point of saying all this now?"
"I want to make it up to her," the man inside said firmly.
The man shook his head dismissively and began to analyze, "In terms of material wealth, no one in the capital can match the Qi family. As for love... do you even have the heart?"
These words immediately provoked the man inside, whose expression changed drastically as he looked at the man.
