Chapter 23 Screams in the Middle of the Night



After all, he had a dark past of hitting Song Ziqing with a black stick, and he planned to bury it deep in his memory and never tell Song Ziqing about it.

It was his black stick that brought her to this era.

His black stick directly knocked out a fiancée, his future wife!

Just thinking about it makes him feel that the black stick, the tool he used in the crime, shouldn't have been thrown away by her; instead, she should have taken it home and enshrined it.

But since he'd already thrown it away, he couldn't bring himself to show any regret.

Song Ziqing didn't beat around the bush with him, but directly denied his guess: "I am not a reborn person, but a transmigrator, but I guess my predecessor might be my past life. I feel very familiar with her and her parents."

Lin Chengyu was surprised that Song Ziqing would tell him his secret so directly. He sighed and said, "Ziqing, it seems you've decided to spend your life with me! Don't worry, we're different people, and we can find common ground."

Suddenly, Song Ziqing shushed him, "They've gone upstairs, let's just pretend to be asleep."

"Okay, by the way, do you have any sticks, knives or anything like that with you? Let's be prepared, just in case."

Lin Chengyu felt that if the people outside were going to take Song Ziqing away regardless of the consequences, he would feel safer if they had weapons to protect the two of them.

"There are two fruit knives under my pillow."

As Song Ziqing spoke, he took out two sharp fruit knives from under his pillow, gave one to Lin Chengyu, and kept the other in his hand.

"You, you're really not an ordinary person!"

Lin Chengyu's understanding of Song Ziqing was constantly being refreshed. How many more surprises would this girl from another time bring him?!

"Of course! As transmigrators, we are all favored by the heavens, how could we be ordinary people?!"

As soon as Song Ziqing finished speaking, she closed her eyes. Lin Chengyu saw the signal she gave him and knew that there were people outside their door, and those people were also learning from him how to use tools to pick the lock.

After a while, the door was opened, and the person turned on the main light, bringing Wang Dagang's large face into Song Ziqing's view.

Wang Dagang brought three brothers to Song Ziqing's house today. Their first purpose was to kidnap Song Ziqing and take her home to be his son's wife. Their second purpose was to capture her and interrogate her about the location of her family's hidden treasure.

After all, this girl will be going to the countryside tomorrow. Once she's gone, it will be difficult for him to find the Song family's treasure through her.

Moreover, he has been keeping an eye on Song Ziqing recently because he feels that the treasures that were stolen from him before might be related to her. Although he has no evidence, he is convinced by his intuition that this girl is not simple.

When Wang Dagang saw Song Ziqing lying in bed with a grown man, he was furious. "Song Ziqing, how can you be lying with a wild man in the middle of the night?!"

Lin Chengyu got out of bed at this moment, glaring at the group with great displeasure. "I am Ziqing's fiancé, but our parents arranged our marriage a long time ago. How can I be some random man?! You robbers, breaking into a house in the middle of the night to rob people, you are the real villains!"

Song Ziqing got up from the bed and stood on it. He grabbed a stick from the bedside table and handed it to Lin Chengyu, saying, "Xiaoyu, hurry up and get them out of here. If they don't leave, I'm going to yell and scream!"

As soon as Song Ziqing finished speaking, he pushed open the window and shouted several times, "Robbery! Murder! Someone broke into a house, robbed, and murdered!"

Once Song Ziqing completed this series of actions, Lin Chengyu calculated the time and estimated it to be less than five seconds!

At this time, some people in the nearby houses had already turned on their lights, and some even ran out of their yards and headed towards the villa.

Wang Dagang and his group were really frightened by Song Ziqing's outrageous move, and quickly clarified, "We didn't break in to rob a house. We just saw a thief come in, so we came to check it out."

Wang Dagang said this, but he took a step back and winked at them. He then quickly led his men downstairs as if someone was chasing them.

"Ziqing, you're really amazing! A true heroine! That shout you just gave probably brought over half the street!"

Before Lin Chengyu could even demonstrate his authority as a man, the four men were scared away by her loud shout.

Song Ziqing came out of the room and saw Wang Dagang and his group. He climbed over the wall that someone had climbed before and quickly said to Lin Chengyu, "You stay in the room and don't go out. I'll go and say hello to everyone and tell them that the robbers have left and that everyone can go home and rest."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Chengyu did not refuse her suggestion at this time. After all, he was not officially engaged yet, and he was still her secret fiancé. He could not easily show himself.

He obediently lay back down on Song Ziqing's bed, covered himself with Song Ziqing's thin blanket, and took a deep breath. He could smell the unique fragrance of Song Ziqing's body.

When Song Ziqing went downstairs, she found a crowd gathered at the entrance of her yard. Some people were carrying kitchen knives, some were carrying sticks, and some were even carrying bricks. She was quite startled by everyone's actions.

However, since the original owner of this body had grown up on this street, these neighbors were all familiar to her. She quickly opened the door, let everyone in, and hurriedly explained the unexpected situation that had just occurred.

Aunt Li was most concerned about Song Ziqing. "Ziqing, did you really encounter a murderer?"

Aunt Li was genuinely worried about Song Ziqing. She had watched helplessly as the Song family fell apart, her parents were sent to the countryside, and she herself would be going to the countryside tomorrow. Such a beautiful girl was going to the countryside, where she would be toiling in the fields from then on.

Aunt Li, a member of the neighborhood committee, knew that after Song Ziqing left, her house was rented out to the neighborhood office building. The thought of her future workplace being so modern made Aunt Li happy.

However, while the working environment was better, the price was the Song family leaving in disappointment, which she was not entirely happy about.

“Aunt Li, I was exaggerating just now. I don’t know if they wanted to kill anyone, but four big men really did climb over the wall and into my yard. My scream was so loud that it probably scared them, and the four men ran away.”

After she greeted everyone, explained the whole story, gave each person an egg, and reassured them, she closed the door again.
