Because they rushed over in a hurry, and it was the middle of the night, their usually impenetrable defenses were bound to falter.
For example, isn't it loosening up right now?
The woman seemed to be simply keeping Luo Jinhan occupied; she wasn't being too forceful, but she was keeping him from getting his phone, let alone calling Gong Chengjue.
Leaving? That's even more impossible. He can't get into the elevator, and if he takes the stairs, she'll catch up with him in no time.
……………………
Gong Chengjue took a towel to wash Su Ziqing's face, and then prepared to undress her...
"What are you doing?" Su Ziqing suddenly pressed down on him.
"You've sweated so much, you're all dirty. Let me wipe you down," he said seriously, his eyes truly devoid of any hint of affection.
Although the two of them had already met, it had been more than three months since they broke up! Su Ziqing felt a little awkward. She held onto his hand tightly and shook her head, "No need, I just wiped myself down when I changed my clothes."
Furthermore, she didn't appear to be so fragile as to be completely immobile and require care.
Seeing that her face was slightly flushed, Gong Chengjue knew she was uncomfortable, so he sighed and said, "Then wipe it yourself?"
Even though she wiped herself down while changing clothes in the sweltering summer heat, the back-and-forth movement still caused her to sweat quite a bit.
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement. "Turn your head away."
Gong Chengjue: "..."
"Hurry up!"
Gong Chengjue had no choice but to turn his head away. His voice came from behind him, "You still haven't answered my questions about the hospital. You didn't tell me about the kill order, but you told Senior Brother Feng instead?"
“I didn’t tell him. He knows it himself.” How could he possibly convince her?
Su Ziqing endured the pain in her hands, wiped her body clean, and then picked up the loose, cool pajamas that were placed to the side and put them on.
I had just put on the clothes when I heard a knock on the door.
"Is this Assistant Luo?" Su Ziqing stopped what she was doing.
"I'll go take a look." Gong Chengjue walked towards the door, but before he reached it, he heard the door being opened.
Almost at the same time, the door opened, and a man wearing a baseball cap came in with a weapon in his hand, pointing it at him.
The accident happened in the blink of an eye. Gong Chengjue crouched down and rolled into Su Ziqing's room, closing the door behind him.
Then pull the vanity table over to block it.
“Phone call.” Gong Chengjue looked at Su Ziqing with a serious expression.
Su Ziqing disregarded the pain at this moment, stood up, and handed him the phone.
The sound of impact could still be heard outside.
"Call the police?" Su Ziqing asked in a low voice.
Gong Chengjue shook his head. He immediately called Luo Jinhan, but no one answered the phone.
Seeing that the people were about to break down the door, Gong Chengjue called his bodyguard, "Come over immediately."
The bodyguard on the other end of the phone was slightly out of breath as he rushed up the stairs. "Mr. Gong, we're coming right away. Hold on for twenty seconds."
Twenty seconds is nothing in the blink of an eye under normal circumstances, but for someone on the verge of life and death, even a single second can be a source of immense anxiety.
Since the other party is not an ordinary person and came prepared, they cannot be viewed as an ordinary person at this time.
"It seems... there's no sound?" Su Ziqing listened intently. Perhaps they'd given up?
Then, less than a second later, a sound came from the balcony.
"Damn, the window wasn't closed..." Before she could finish speaking, she saw the foreign man standing there calmly firing in their direction. The silenced weapon made only a very faint sound, which the people next door wouldn't hear at all.
They blocked the door with their dressing table, and for a moment, they felt like they were trapped in a cage.
However, the target of the other party was only Gong Chengjue.
Before she could finish speaking, Su Ziqing quickly picked up a basin of water and splashed it at the other person.
At that moment, the bodyguard's voice came from outside, "Mr. Gong."
The other side probably realized they had missed their chance, so they didn't linger and jumped directly off the balcony.
Su Ziqing's heart was in her throat, but she endured the pain and chased after him.
In such a short time, the other party had already prepared to escape, directly using a climbing rope to descend. By the time Su Ziqing saw it, the person had already pulled up the rope and disappeared into the night.
These people are definitely not ordinary assassins.
They are not just people who act ruthlessly, but people who are truly skilled.
"Mr. Gong, are you alright?" The bodyguards had come in, which meant they were safe for the time being.
"It's nothing." Gong Chengjue walked towards Su Ziqing, who was standing on the balcony in a daze.
She faced two life-or-death crises in one night, yet she was still calmly analyzing the situation, which he found quite admirable.
"Ziqing".
"Have you been surrounded by crises like this for the past few months?" He was in the open, while the other party was in the shadows, and he had no idea when the other party would make a move.
Gong Chengjue didn't want her to worry, so he shook his head, "Of course not, do you think I'd be that stupid?"
Hearing this, Su Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief. It was true, it was not easy for a normal person to get close to him, let alone knowing that he was carrying a kill order, he would never joke about his own safety.
“But even one crisis like this is dangerous enough.” Su Ziqing’s heart was still pounding, at least 140 beats per minute.
"Mr. Gong." Luo Jinhan rushed over, his hands slightly bruised. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gong Chengjue was alright and chatting with Su Ziqing.
Gong Chengjue glanced at him.
Luo Jinhan explained, “I brushed past a man in the elevator and was a beat too slow to realize something was wrong. The elevator doors had already closed by then… The woman who fought with Sakai last time appeared again.”
They must have had a communication signal; the woman suddenly withdrew during the fight.
Luo Jinhan was worried that they might have already succeeded and had rushed up the mountain.
After explaining, Luo Jinhan looked at Gong Chengjue and said, "Mr. Gong, you can't stay here now." Then he looked at Su Ziqing and advised, "Miss Su, it's not safe for you to stay here either."
Su Ziqing frowned slightly.
"Let's leave first." Gong Chengjue helped Su Ziqing into the wheelchair and then tidied up her personal belongings. "Don't talk about our relationship anymore. Judging from tonight, no one will believe that we are not related."
Su Ziqing swallowed all the words she wanted to say.
Yes, even in this state, it's okay if ghosts still believe them.
He glanced around the room at the bullet holes and asked Luo Jinhan, "With this evidence... can we find the person?"
Luo Jinhan shook his head, "The legitimate ones on the market all have numbers, but these... won't have numbers."
Therefore, it is impossible to find the source of the truth based on these methods.
Su Ziqing didn't say anything more.
Gong Chengjue pushed the wheelchair, and she heard him say, "I know who it is."
