After receiving a definite answer from the venomous snake, Xiao Yuan pulled Bai Qingzhi aside to the doorway, and then several people in police uniforms walked in from outside.
"You are now under arrest as a Class A wanted criminal, Viper." After saying that, he put the silver bracelet on his wrist.
The snake was stunned and struggled frantically, but was pinned to the ground, its arm snapping with a crack.
He has six lives on his hands and has committed countless evil deeds. Once he is taken back, he will inevitably face the death penalty.
"Thank you both. I will explain the situation to the station, and I hope you can cooperate with me then," the lead policeman said gratefully.
"It's what we should do," Xiao Yuan replied politely.
After shaking hands, the people took their leave, and the house remained calm despite the absence of a fight.
Bai Qingzhi sat down on the edge of the bed, while Xiao Yuan squatted down in front of her, still feeling a bit scared.
He was just about to fall asleep when he suddenly felt some noises coming from the wall.
The sound wasn't loud; if he hadn't been constantly on his guard, he probably wouldn't have heard it.
To confirm whether it was Zhizhi who made the sound, Xiao Yuan even put his ear to it and listened carefully.
A while ago, Zhizhi saw Morse code while watching a movie in his office. Out of curiosity, she asked him about it, and Xiao Yuan explained it to her carefully.
He didn't expect to need it so soon.
When Zhizhi told her there were people in the house, Xiao Yuan's first thought was that they were accomplices of the assassin from earlier that day.
He promptly called the police. In the minute that Zhizhi was stalling for time, Xiao Yuan went to the front desk to get the room key, and then returned as if nothing had happened.
The police station was right next to the guesthouse, so they arrived within three minutes of receiving the report.
If the assassin had acted more decisively when killing, he wouldn't have had time to get back.
Holding Bai Qingzhi in his arms, Xiao Yuan didn't say a word.
Bai Qingzhi could even feel his body trembling slightly.
She hugged him back and patted his back reassuringly.
"Zhizhi, let's go back." Xiao Yuan's tone was somewhat dejected; for the first time, he felt useless.
Bai Qingzhi didn't know exactly how to comfort him, so she smiled and nodded, saying okay.
Then she cupped Xiao Yuan's face in her hands and gave him a serious kiss on the cheek.
That night, the two got into a car to go home.
Meanwhile, Bai Qinghuan from the Bai family was typing rapidly in front of her computer.
She had heard of the dark web before, but her mentor told her it wasn't a good thing and forbade her from using it.
Bai Qinghuan was already seething with anger after her younger sister had been in danger twice.
Following the URL provided by the first assassin, Bai Qinghuan successfully logged in and conveniently concealed her location.
Naturally, she logged into the assassin's account.
The chat page is still showing the order status, with the buyer offering ten million to buy Qingzhi's life.
"You want to buy my sister for ten million..." Bai Qinghuan's eyes shone even brighter in the darkness.
After browsing through the general content, Bai Qinghuan logged out of her account and logged into a new account she had created using a different IP address.
The identities contained within are a mix of truth and falsehood, and no one will be able to find out.
After finding the poster's message and clicking "accept order," Bai Qinghuan quickly received the message from that person.
"A newcomer?"
"Whether it's new or not, as long as it can complete the task, that's fine."
"Just a friendly reminder, two assassins have already been killed inside."
"You don't need to worry about it. The money is ready, and I'll come to collect it in three days."
After saying that, Bai Qinghuan decisively logged off.
Xiao Yuan and his companion returned home after dawn the next day. The Bai family members, having heard about what had happened the previous day, waited at the door.
Seeing their child return unharmed, the Bai family finally breathed a sigh of relief after a night of worry.
Xiao Yuan then followed Bai's father and the other men to the study, where Bai's mother shed tears of heartache.
Bai's mother barely slept last night, and now that she sees her child back, sleepiness suddenly washes over her.
After sending their mother to rest, the two sisters sat on the sofa.
Bai Qingzhi came up with a plan on the way back, and this trip back was the perfect opportunity to discuss it with her sister.
"Sister, I don't think this can go on."
The enemy is in the shadows while she is in the open. Even without these two, there will be a constant stream of assassins coming.
Money makes the world go round.
Instead of constantly playing defensively, they should take the initiative and attack.
“Use me as bait to lure the person who has posted the bounty.”
She had just finished speaking when she saw Bai Qinghuan pause for a moment, and Bai Qingzhi assumed that her sister hadn't understood.
Just as she was about to explain, Bai Qinghuan interrupted her.
"Are you sure? This could put you in danger, you could be in real trouble!" Bai Qinghuan instinctively disagreed.
She did think of this idea last night, but ultimately decided to go herself.
Qingzhi is just a little girl; she shouldn't get involved in this.
Although some people want to kill her now, these people are only here because of her; Qingzhi is just a victim of her.
"I disagree!" Bai Qinghuan's expression turned serious.
When she came back, she had already decided that she would protect her younger sister for the rest of her life.
Seeing Bai Qinghuan's uncompromising expression, Bai Qingzhi felt a warm feeling in her heart.
What did she do to deserve such a loving family in her life?
Bai Qingzhi playfully clung to her sister's arm, silencing her sister's attempt to refuse, and then slowly spoke.
"Sister, I know you're afraid I'll get hurt, but I'm a member of the Bai family. These kinds of things will probably happen more often in the future. I can't stay under your wings forever, can I?"
Her tone was sincere, and Bai Qinghuan hesitated.
