Ten minutes later, all the helicopters and patrol cars had left, but traffic control continued.
The capital city has returned to calm, but it's more like the calm before the storm.
Several all-black SUVs, without streetlights on, quietly crept into the outskirts of the capital.
A dark shadow approached the small villa that was shrouded in darkness.
QQ QQ QQ.
"who?!"
Yu Yao immediately became alert, staring intently at the doorway. She approached Xu Zhaozhao, the cold scalpel held against her neck.
She forced herself to stay awake, her hopeful eyes fixed on the doorway.
"Mr. Zhang?"
A stranger's voice came from outside: "Your takeout has arrived."
In extremely dark conditions, a cat's eye is useless.
"Leave it by the door and then leave," Yu Yao said in a deep voice.
Then, there was the sound of something falling at the door, and the young man's voice came again.
"Alright, Mr. Zhang, please remember to pick it up. I'll be going now."
Footsteps could be heard leaving.
The light in Xu Zhaozhao's eyes dimmed.
Yu Yao lowered the knife from her neck. Seeing no one through the peephole, the wariness in her eyes lessened somewhat.
He pulled Xu Zhaozhao up from the sofa, and the knife was held to her neck again.
The knife was still stained with blood, emitting a nauseating, fishy smell.
It wasn't her blood, it was the kitten's blood...
But Xu Zhaozhao had already vomited everything out of her stomach, and even though she felt uncomfortable, she didn't have the strength to vomit anymore.
"Sister, come with me to pick up the package."
His gaze shifted to the table beside him.
Five tiny kittens, no bigger than a palm, lay lifeless and disemboweled in their cages; only the last one remained.
It seemed to have foreseen its fate, lying despairingly on the iron fence.
There were no more cat meows in the villa.
Xu Zhaozhao watched as he cruelly tortured and killed the kittens right in front of her.
Yes, torture and murder.
Inject concentrated sulfuric acid, causing their internal organs to be painfully corroded, and then... cut them open...
However, he ran out of concentrated sulfuric acid, and one of his kittens was sentenced to a suspended death sentence.
After that kitten, it was her turn to be the "kitten"...
Xu Zhaozhao mustered some strength and struggled, but Yu Yao smiled excitedly and pulled Xu Zhaozhao outside.
He still remained wary.
drop.
He unlocked the door with his fingerprint and pushed it open.
He first pushed Xu Zhaozhao out and then cautiously looked around—there was no other movement except for the slightly swaying leaves.
It seems that only his takeout has arrived.
Yu Yao squatted down, preparing to pick up the box with the takeout order on it from the ground.
Bang!
call out!
A loud bang startled many of the birds sleeping in the woods, causing them to fly away.
All the cars hidden in the woods turned on their high beams, illuminating the entire villa.
Song Jinshi, dressed in a food delivery uniform, was the closest. He jumped down from a tall tree, the barrel of his gun still smoking.
He smiled, but what he released was a terrifying killing intent.
Xu Zhaozhao stood there, stunned.
After the knife fell from her neck and the force restraining her disappeared, Xu Zhaozhao instinctively wanted to run.
But her feet were tied, and she was about to fall to the ground the moment she exerted force.
She closed her eyes tightly.
The imagined pain did not come; instead, I fell into a familiar embrace.
"Baby……"
Gu Qingyan's voice was full of guilt, yet also tinged with joy.
Gu Qingyan deftly untied the ropes binding her hands and feet.
Xu Zhaozhao gripped his clothes tightly, unable to hold back her tears that she had been holding back all day.
Snot and tears fell all over Gu Qingyan's clothes.
"Hmm..." A painful groan came from the side. Xu Zhaozhao, like a frightened bird, shrank further into Gu Qingyan's arms.
She raised her tearful eyes to look at Yu Yao lying on the ground.
Song Jinshi was standing right next to him. Upon hearing his voice, she kicked him in the face without any hesitation.
"Screw your mother!"
His left shoulder was pierced by a bullet, blood splattered on the ground, his right hand lay limply to the side, a small syringe still stuck in his forearm.
She regained her ability to think.
Just as Yu Yao bent down, Song Jinshi fired a shot that hit his left shoulder, and Gu Qingyan also injected the medicine into his right forearm.
No wonder his knife fell to the ground...
Xu Zhaozhao had learned about the injection gun, because she was worried that Gu Qingyan's condition might get out of control...
Unexpectedly, the effects were first seen on Yu Yao.
But these shots, which don't have long range, were able to hit Yu Yao's right hand and catch her immediately.
Xu Zhaozhao watched as Song Jinshi jumped down from a tree in the distance, but she didn't see Gu Qingyan.
He was closer to the villa than Song Jinshi!
She turned her head and buried herself in Gu Qingyan's arms, plunging herself into darkness.
"Gu Qingyan, let's go home..."
Let's wait until she gets home and has a good night's sleep before discussing anything else.
"good."
Gu Qingyan put his arm around her and prepared to walk out.
"Meow!"
A sudden meow came from inside the villa.
Then Xu Zhaozhao felt something furry rubbing against her ankle...
