Gu Baiwei shrank her neck, feeling as if the temperature around her had dropped significantly in an instant.
Meeting Shen Yanqing's dark and lifeless eyes, she secretly thought, "Oh no, I said the wrong thing. Could it be that I wasn't injured, but accidentally splashed with something when I was killing and dismembering the body?"
Gu Baiwei instantly conjured up this scene in her mind.
Shen Yanqing mercilessly slit the throat of the struggling man on the ground with the dagger in her hand, but a drop of blood splattered onto her wrist, and her eyes immediately surged with a monstrous rage.
He raised the dagger expressionlessly and slowly sliced the man in front of him to pieces, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
Amidst the rain of blood, he slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with a morbid madness and ruthlessness.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder. What a terrifying man.
Unaware of what Gu Baiwei was imagining, Shen Yanqing raised his right hand and glanced at it casually. Several tiny bloodstains on his wrist stood out against his fair skin.
He casually wiped away the bloodstains with his thumb, then looked at Gu Baiwei with a smirk: "Miss Gu, are you concerned about me?"
These words were interpreted by Gu Baiwei as, "You've found out, how do you want to die?"
The atmosphere around them instantly became tense.
Gu Baiwei had a sudden inspiration and hurriedly rummaged through her handbag: "I have a band-aid, do you want me to put one on for you?"
She held up the band-aid in her hand to Shen Yanqing in an ingratiating manner.
Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the band-aid in her hand, his expression dark and unreadable.
Gu Baiwei then belatedly realized that the band-aid on her hand had a pink Hello Kitty pattern that was full of girlish charm.
It's really a bit inappropriate to have such a powerful underworld boss using such a cute band-aid.
She secretly wanted to take the band-aid back, but saw that Shen Yanqing had already naturally extended his injured wrist in front of her: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Gu."
His wrists were muscular and fair-skinned, and even the prominent veins on them were quite attractive.
Gu Baiwei carefully peeled off the bandage and covered Shen Yanqing's wound.
She lowered her eyes slightly, her long, curled eyelashes casting beautiful shadows under her eyelids, her expression focused and serious.
A strand of jet-black hair fell to the side of her face. Shen Yanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and he reached out to tuck that strand of hair behind her ear.
This overly intimate gesture surprised both of them.
Shen Yanqing coughed lightly, held up the band-aid on her wrist and examined it carefully, then smiled and said, "Thank you."
"You are welcome."
For some reason, Gu Baiwei felt a little awkward. Ugh, the big boss just used his murderous hand to fix her hair. Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine.
The atmosphere between the two became tense again. Gu Baiwei couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere the most. Just as she was struggling with whether or not to say something, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in her ear.
Immediately afterwards, countless people scrambled to run out of the exhibition hall, some shouting for help as they ran.
Gu Baiwei looked in the direction they had come from, and her heart skipped a beat.
It turned out to be Exhibition Area A, where Ye Sinian and Xia Shih-han were located.
She quickly grabbed a passing young girl: "Excuse me, what happened inside?"
The girl glanced at her quickly, and said in a trembling voice, "A group of robbers just broke into the exhibition hall, set it on fire, and looted it..."
Before the girl could finish speaking, a deafening gunshot rang out from inside the exhibition hall, and screams and cries instantly echoed throughout the entire hall.
The girl's face turned pale, and she hurriedly shook off her hand: "I'm sorry, I have to go. You should run for your life too."
Without turning his head, he quickly ran towards the door.
Screams and cries filled the air.
Gu Baiwei's heart clenched instantly. Her hands trembled as she pulled out her phone to call Ye Sinian, praying silently that nothing bad would happen to her.
As if he had heard her prayer, Ye Sinian's deep voice came through the phone: "Hello."
Gu Baiwei's heart finally settled down, and she hurriedly asked him, "Where are you and Shihan now? I'll come find you."
After a pause, the reply came: "I had to leave just now. Xia Shihhan should still be in Area A."
"What? Ye Sinian, you left her behind by yourself!"
Gu Baiwei roared, startling Ye Sinian on the other side.
She has a very good temper and usually speaks gently to him, rarely calling him by his full name like she does now.
Ye Sinian felt inexplicably uneasy: "What happened?"
The moment he asked the question, a busy signal came from the other end of the phone; Gu Baiwei had simply hung up.
A bad feeling welled up in Ye Sinian's mind. He immediately grabbed his coat and strode out, ordering behind him as he went, "Prepare the car, I need to go back to the art exhibition."
...
At the art exhibition, flames were raging everywhere.
Everyone screamed in terror and ran away, except for one petite figure who walked against the flow of the crowd.
Although she knew very well that Xia Shihhan, as the female lead, would be fine, Gu Baiwei still couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She couldn't let anything happen to such a pure and beautiful girl.
Shen Yanqing had already left sometime earlier, so she could only struggle to walk back alone through the crowd.
The streets were filled with the sounds of people crying and screaming in terror.
As she turned the corner, someone bumped into her, and a long, strong hand steadied her.
Gu Baiwei looked up and suddenly met a pair of deep, dark eyes, and her heart stirred slightly.
It turned out to be Shen Yanqing.
At that moment, Gu Baiwei suddenly caught a glimpse of the white figure.
She hurriedly grabbed Shen Yanqing and pleaded in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, Shihan is over there. Please go and save her. I can manage on my own."
