187. Chapter 187: The Misogyny Emperor vs. the Wife of a Powerful Official (39)



The moment the bell rang, the accountant and another man immediately looked over in the direction of the sound. Their eyes were fierce, and a strong murderous intent instantly covered their bodies.

Then he walked into the inner room.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Jiang Li instantly became anxious. She breathed lightly and her heart began to beat wildly.

She forced herself to calm down and continued looking for a hiding place in the room, but there was only a bed in the inner room besides the curtain in front of her.

Jiang Li gritted her teeth. Today was really a bad start!

Now that she had been discovered and there was no place for her to hide in the room, Jiang Li had already prepared for the worst and hurriedly bought some fog powder from the mall, intending to use it to escape later.

The footsteps in the room were getting closer and closer, and Jiang Li's heart began to lift.

She swallowed unconsciously and tightly grasped the mist powder in her hand. At this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out from behind and covered her mouth, and then her body was lifted into the air! ! Jiang Li's eyes widened and her pupils suddenly shrank. She didn't dare to make a sound and could only let the mysterious person behind her take her away from where she was!

Swoosh——

Just as Jiang Li was taken away, the accountant came to the curtain where she had been hiding and pulled it open!

"No?"

The accountant exclaimed in a hoarse voice, and then looked around the inner room.

The masked man behind him had a heavy breath and stood in front of the curtain, looking around with a serious gaze.

The accountant walked around the inner room and searched all the places where the person could hide. Even though he knew that the person could not hide in the bedside cabinet in such a short time, he still lifted all the quilts on the bed and opened the bedside cabinet to check.

As expected, the bedside table was empty.

He had checked the last possible hiding place and found that there was indeed no one in the inner room.

The masked man walked to the half-open window and opened it. However, behind the window was the deserted backyard of Jinse Building. Apart from the weeds, there was no shadow of anything.

The moment the masked man turned around, the accountant shook his head at him, indicating that there was no one in the room.

The bell rang clearly just now, and they couldn't have heard it wrong, so the two of them were certain that there must be a third person in the room besides them!

Where is it hidden?

Just when the two of them were puzzled——

"Meow~"

A cat's meow was heard, and the two of them turned their heads to look towards the source of the sound, and saw a civet cat lying on the bed curtains, looking down at them.

"Meow~"

The raccoon cat called out to them again, which completely dispelled their doubts.

“It turned out to be a cat.”

The masked man spoke slowly, and it was not difficult to hear from his voice that he was relieved.

"Let's go."

After making sure that there was no one in the room, the masked man walked out of the inner room first.

The accountant followed him and looked the room over again before leaving.

At that time, Jiang Li, who had disappeared out of thin air, was hugging Shen Tingsi's shoulders tightly, hanging her whole body on him.

Shen Tingsi put one hand around Jiang Li's waist and the other hand on the window sill next to him, supporting the weight of both of them with one hand.

Just now he saw Jiang Li enter the room alone. Fearing that something might happen to her, he followed her all the way. Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard the conversation between the masked man and the accountant in the room.

Having seen Jiang Li enter the room with his own eyes, he had to find another place to sneak into the room and take her away before Jiang Li was discovered.

Fortunately, everything was done in time and they both managed to escape successfully.

Jiang Li put her arms around Shen Tingsi's armpits, tightly wrapped around his shoulders, and pressed her whole body against him.

Jiang Li didn't dare to speak until she was sure whether the masked man and the accountant had left, for fear that their whereabouts would be exposed and implicate Shen Tingsi.

But Shen Tingsi, who was able to hear everything around him, knew that the two masked men had already left.

He knows, but he doesn't say it.

Just keep hugging Jiang Li like this.

Jiang Li pressed her little face against Shen Tingsi's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

The floors of Jinse Building are high. Although the two are on the second floor at this time, they are ten meters away from the ground.

Jiang Li lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. She was a little afraid of heights, so she shrank her neck and quickly closed her eyes.

Shen Tingsi kept looking down at her, and when he saw Jiang Li's little expression, the corners of his mouth curled up.

The girl had a pretty face, delicate eyebrows and eyes like a painting, her crow-feather-like eyelashes were trembling slightly with fear, her nose was straight and beautiful, and her lips were slightly pursed as if a red tassel was just blooming.

Shen Tingsi's eyes were deep, and when he looked at Jiang Li, there was a hint of emotion in them that he had never had before.

Jiang Li's hands were sore. She looked up at Shen Tingsi and whispered, "Master Shen, are they gone?"

When those almond-shaped eyes that seemed to crush starlight looked at Shen Tingsi, his heart seemed to be hit by something.

Shen Tingsi wanted to deny it, but after meeting Jiang Li's gaze, the lie on the tip of his tongue could not be uttered.

"Well, let's go."

"Let's go up quickly while no one is around. Master Shen's hands must have gone numb a long time ago, right?"

Jiang Li looked at Shen Tingsi with some concern. The latter nodded slightly, tightened his hand around Jiang Li's waist slightly, and used his Qinggong to bring her back to the room.

Jiang Li didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she landed safely on the ground: "I'm sorry to have caused trouble to Master Shen. Is your hand okay?"

Jiang Li said as she grabbed Shen Tingsi's hand and checked it.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Shen Tingsi's hand was scratched and bright red blood seeped out of his flesh.

"Mr. Shen, wait a moment. I'll go find out if there's any medicine in the room."

Jiang Li said as she walked to the shelf in front and pretended to search through it, then she exchanged a bottle of medicine from the mall and held it in her hand.

"Here is some medicine. I'll treat Mr. Shen's wound first."

Jiang Li took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood off Shen Tingsi's palm. Shen Tingsi himself remained expressionless, but Jiang Li's brows were tightly knitted together.

She carefully wiped the blood from the wound, then opened the medicine. Before applying the medicine, she looked up at Shen Tingsi.

"It will be a little painful, Mr. Shen, bear with it."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she lowered her head again and sprinkled the medicine little by little on the wound on Shen Tingsi's palm.

The wound was instantly covered with white powder. After applying the medicine, Jiang Li folded her handkerchief and gently wrapped it around Shen Tingsi's hand.

"Remember to change the medicine every day before the scab forms, and don't touch water during this period."

Jiang Li repeated the instructions in a muffled voice, with a hint of self-blame on her face.

Seeing her beautiful brows slightly frowned due to self-blame, Shen Tingsi pursed his lips and subconsciously raised his hand to smooth her frowned brows.

They were both stunned after realizing this action.

Shen Tingsi was just about to comfort himself when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door...
