Li Rui's appearance stopped Qing Ya's movements in mid-air, and her sword was an inch away from the assassin's neck. Qing Ya turned around and looked at Li Rui standing at the door, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Brother Rui, why are you here?" Qingya's tone was trembling a little, and she seemed to blame Li Rui for his sudden appearance.

Li Rui did not answer Qingya's question. He walked quickly to Qingya's side and pulled her behind him. Li Rui used his body to block Qingya. He looked at the assassin lying on the ground and wailing, and asked: "Qingya, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Qingya shook her head. She patted the back of Li Rui's hand gently, trying to reassure him.

Li Rui glanced across the room and saw the tiles on the roof being lifted up. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who sent you here? Why did you attack Qingya?"

The assassin struggled to get up, but was held down by the guards sent by Li Rui. The guards surrounded the assassin, and the assassin wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Rui walked up to the assassin and carefully observed his face. He asked, "Are you Li Chengqian's man?"

When the assassin heard Li Rui's words, he panicked. He wanted to deny it, but he couldn't say anything. He could only lower his head and remain silent.

When Qingya saw the assassin's expression, she immediately understood his identity. She smiled and said, "Brother Rui, you are really smart. You guessed it right away."

Li Rui looked down at Qingya, his eyes full of worry. He asked softly, "Qingya, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry." Qingya said with a smile. She reached out and gently stroked Li Rui's cheek, trying to reassure him.

Li Rui looked at Qingya, his eyes full of love. He lowered his head slightly and gently kissed the back of Qingya's hand.

"Brother Rui, you..." Qingya blushed and her heart beat fast because of Li Rui's sudden action. She lowered her head shyly.

"Don't be afraid, follow me." Li Rui held Qingya's hand tightly, his tone firm and gentle.

Li Rui used his body to block Qingya from seeing the assassin. He turned around and said to the guards, "Take him away and keep him under strict guard until he can be interrogated."

"Yes." The guards obeyed the order and took the assassin out of the room.

Li Rui and Qingya were the only two people left in the room. Li Rui gently put his arm around Qingya's shoulders and asked, "Qingya, are you okay?"

Qingya shook her head, leaned into Li Rui's arms, and said softly, "I'm fine, thank you, Brother Rui."

"Silly girl." Li Rui said with a light smile. He lowered his head and kissed Qingya's forehead, saying, "I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're okay."

Li Rui looked around and found the room in chaos. He asked, "Qingya, you are fine, but why did this assassin attack you? Who is he?"

"He was sent by Li Chengqian." Qingya said softly. She told Li Rui the identity of the assassin and explained why he attacked her.

When Li Rui heard Qingya's words, his brows knitted tightly, and he whispered: "Li Chengqian, how could he do such a thing?"

Li Rui's eyes were filled with anger, he clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to tear Li Chengqian into pieces.

Qingya looked at Li Rui's angry expression and comforted him, "Brother Rui, don't be angry. This is just a clumsy plot by Li Chengqian. He thought he could sow discord between us brothers, but he didn't expect that we had already seen through his plot."

Qingya looked at Li Rui, her eyes full of confidence, and she continued: "Brother Rui, just wait and see, Li Chengqian's plan will definitely fail."

Li Rui looked at Qingya's determined eyes, nodded gently, and said, "Okay, Qingya, let's expose Li Chengqian's conspiracy together."

Qingya and Li Rui stood side by side, their eyes firm and confident. They were ready to meet Li Chengqian's challenge.
