In the days that followed, things calmed down at the Qin family villa, probably because Qin Yue's unauthorized actions completely disrupted Qin Cheng's plans. Qin Cheng, with the information Qin Xi had dug up, practically lived at the company and had no time to deal with Qin Xi's affairs.
After Qin Cheng left home, no one in the entire Qin family villa could control Qin Xi, except for having to watch him every step of the way.
It was late at night when Nguyen Thanh An was sitting in front of his dressing table.
She changed into a black short jacket, which accentuated her slim waist and long legs, and slowly said, "There are security guards patrolling at night. I think the Qin family really is keeping Qin Xi locked up."
037: [So, ancestor, you're going to take the male lead out?]
"It's not that easy. Besides... running away isn't the solution. Rather than letting Qin Xi avoid the Qin family like the plague, it's better to just eliminate the Qin family once and for all."
Ruan Qing'an explained, standing up and opening the window: "But there's nothing we can do now. Qin Xi isn't going to take over the Qin family, and he's too lazy to resist them. He's just giving up, and that includes his illness. He's practically a prime example of giving up on treatment."
037: [Ah, this...]
"Don't worry, little system, I'll force him to face it sooner or later."
Ruan Qing'an seemed to be thinking of something, and the smile on his lips deepened little by little, carrying a hint of madness and ruthlessness.
Stepping on the moonlit windowpane, Ruan Qing'an pushed open the window and squatted by the window to look outside—the Qin family had arranged a bedroom for her on the first floor, but now they were doing her a favor.
Ruan Qingan crouched down, his leaden-gray eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
Outside the villa, several security guards were walking back and forth. One of them, waving a flashlight, said impatiently, "There are already surveillance cameras, yet they still make us patrol like this every day. It's so annoying, we're exhausted every day."
"It's good enough to get paid, why ask for so much?"
Another person replied, "You haven't been here long. The previous security guard was so frightened that he went insane and resigned. If you knew what happened to him, you wouldn't be able to say anything about using surveillance."
The person who asked the question was startled: "To the point of mental breakdown from fright?"
"Yes, if you can accept that all the privacy of your phone is exposed to the young master, then that's fine. We were originally here to monitor and protect the young master's safety. Surveillance is something that can be easily tampered with."
Upon hearing this, the security guard who had asked the question couldn't hold back any longer.
Just then, he heard a slight noise, instinctively raised his flashlight and shone it, walking step by step over: "What's going on? Who's there—"
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, the man received a chop to the back of the head and collapsed limply to the ground.
Ruan Qing'an casually flicked her hand, and at that moment, another person noticed this place. However, she reacted even faster, sweeping the hand to the ground. As he fell, Ruan Qing'an grabbed him with her backhand and struck him directly on the back of the head.
After the man also fainted, Ruan Qingan smiled leisurely.
"Bingo~, double kill."
A moment later, in Qin Xi's bedroom.
All the computers and other high-tech equipment were shut down again, leaving the bed empty. Qin Xi, who should have been asleep, was curled up in the corner with his head down and one hand pressed against his forehead.
Qin Xi kept taking deep breaths, but she was still in great pain.
He did not have any recurring episodes during this period, but being in a state of depression, his emotions inevitably continued to sink into a trough, as if a black dog was chasing and pressuring him.
Qin Xi breathed heavily, his fist clenched, pounding his forehead: "Damn it..."
Just then, the window glass next to them suddenly shattered, and shards of glass mixed with a stone fell to the ground.
The loud noise instantly pulled Qin Xi out of his own world. He rubbed his temples, got up and went to the window. When he looked down, he saw the security guards on night patrol lying on the ground, unconscious.
And the culprit behind all this is standing right under the window.
In the pitch-black night, Ruan Qing'an wore a black short jacket, her waist was slender and her legs were long, and her exposed skin was as white as snow, like a fairy under the moon. However, the look in her eyes when she looked up made Qin Xi's Adam's apple bob slightly.
"Hey little brother, interested in eloping with your big sister?"
"Sister, you really are... sigh..."
Qin Xi couldn't help but sigh softly, raising his hand to press against his forehead. This woman was truly capable of killing him.
...
It takes about half an hour to drive from the suburbs to the city. It's around 8 or 9 o'clock, which is when the nightlife is just beginning. You can see many pedestrians coming and going on the road.
Ruan Qing'an drove the sports car she had taken from the Qin family villa's garage. With one hand on the steering wheel, she executed a beautiful drift and stopped directly in the parking space.
"Have we arrived yet?!"
Before Qin Xi could finish speaking, she had already leaned forward and unbuckled his seatbelt.
The cool fragrance suddenly approached, almost dragging Qin Xi's reason back to the night he fell ill. His Adam's apple moved slightly involuntarily, and his throat felt a little dry.
But Ruan Qing'an teased him for a moment, then immediately backed away, urging him casually, "Alright, hurry up and get off the bus, little brother."
Qin Xi was slightly taken aback and turned to look out the window: "Is this an arcade?"
In front of me was an arcade that looked quite old. This was in the outer district near the slums, and it couldn't be described as bustling.
—And clearly, sports cars are out of place here.
However, Ruan Qingan didn't care. He just waved and got out of the car: "Hurry up, you've never been to a place like this before, have you?"
"Hmm, I've never been here before."
Qin Xi shook her head and subconsciously followed Ruan Qing'an out of the car.
Ruan Qingan was more familiar with the place, so he greeted the owner familiarly, exchanged game tokens, and walked into the arcade with Qin Xi.
Most of the game consoles here are a bit old, but fortunately they are still usable. You can see some hooligans or delinquent teenagers who have skipped evening self-study sessions.
Qin Xi suddenly asked, "Sister, are you very familiar with this place?"
"Of course, when I was a kid, before my dad got addicted to gambling, he liked to hang out here with those hooligans. I often came here to see my dad after school in the evening."
As Ruan Qing'an spoke, he tossed a coin in his hand, his eyes darkening slightly: "Because of me, he always leaves disappointed, and then he drinks, and then he beats me."
She continued to speak lightly of her pain, as if she didn't care at all. Qin Xi didn't speak for a moment, but just looked at Ruan Qing'an with her dark eyes.
The next moment, she tossed the game tokens towards Qin Xi, who instinctively reached out and caught them. Ruan Qing'an then patted the game console: "Little brother, you've definitely never played this before, have you?"
"What is this?"
Street Fighter.
As Ruan Qingan spoke, he had already sat down in front of the game console, his leaden eyes sparkling with laughter, like stars scattered on the shimmering surface of a lake.
When Qin Xi was stared at by those eyes, he could only hurriedly look away. He coughed as if to cover up his mistake and sat down in front of the game console: "I've never played before, can you teach me, sister?"
"Of course, I'll definitely teach you first."
Ruan Qing'an's smile deepened, as if he had thought of something.
Looking at her exceptionally beautiful smile, Qin Xi suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
