A warm breath, accompanied by a deliberately lowered voice, sounded in Pei Fengzhi's ear.
"Don't move!"
Pei Fengzhi's hand, which was about to move, suddenly stopped. A complex look flashed in his eyes. Unfortunately, the room was too dark. Even though the two were so close, Ye Ningwan still couldn't see the other person's face clearly, let alone Pei Fengzhi's expression at this moment.
Pei Fengzhi didn't move again. He just seemed to find it amusing, letting out a low laugh from his throat, a magnetic laugh with a touch of peculiarity.
Unfortunately, Ye Ningwan didn't realize what she was saying. She pressed the dagger in her hand close to Pei Fengzhi's throat, and a line of blood appeared on Pei Fengzhi's neck.
Ye Ningwan caught a whiff of blood, but without hesitation, she fiercely warned Pei Fengzhi in a low voice.
"Shut up, don't make a sound, or I'll kill you right now!"
With her hands raised above her head, Pei Fengzhi pursed her lips and immediately fell silent.
Ye Ningwan was clearly surprised that the other party would cooperate so readily. She was slightly astonished and a question suddenly arose in her mind. The person in front of her gave her a strange sense of familiarity, but there were no lights here and Ye Ningwan could not see the man's face clearly.
Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps grew closer, accompanied by soft, deliberately suppressed conversations.
"Where did that person go? Where did they go? Strange, how could they disappear in the blink of an eye?"
"Keep searching carefully, you must find it!"
Thump! Thump! Thump!
As the sound of doors opening echoed one after another, Ye Ningwan's heart leaped into her throat.
"No?"
"This is the last room left! If it's not here, it must be here!"
A hand had just gripped the doorknob.
Click.
In the darkness, Ye Ningwan could even see the downward curve of the doorknob with just a turn of her head. If the other party pushed harder, the door would open!
Ye Ningwan's breathing became labored, her body pressed tightly against Pei Fengzhi.
She didn't even realize that the moment she pushed Pei Fengzhi against the wall, she had accidentally torn his bathrobe, and the two of them were pressed tightly together through a thin layer of fabric. Every breath she took could be felt deeply by him.
Pei Fengzhi noticed this, and he suddenly reached out and gently stroked the back of Ye Ningwan's neck, lowering his voice to whisper in her ear.
"Don't be nervous, they won't come in."
Sure enough, the next moment, another person stopped their companion from opening the door and coming in.
"Wait, are you out of your mind? Don't you know who lives inside? Don't go in if you don't want to die!"
Immediately afterwards, the bedroom door, which had just been opened a crack, was closed again.
The crisis was temporarily averted, but Ye Ningwan saw that Pei Fengzhi's actions not only failed to elicit gratitude, but instead she suddenly gripped the dagger in her hand and pressed it forcefully against Pei Fengzhi's neck, pinning him back against the wall, her tone stern and oppressive.
"Don't move! Do you want to die?"
Pei Fengzhi had no choice but to release his hand from Ye Ningwan's nape, sighed helplessly, and raised his hands above his head again.
A slight pain shot through Pei Fengzhi's neck, and he felt rather helpless at the way this little wildcat was baring its teeth and claws outside.
"Don't worry..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Fengzhi was kicked hard in the shin.
"Shut up!"
Thump!
The faint sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.
"hiss--"
Pei Fengzhi gasped.
At the same time, the group of people who were about to leave in the corridor outside the door suddenly stopped.
Ye Ningwan knew things were going badly. In the darkness, she glared fiercely at the man who knew his ridiculous actions were just causing her trouble. She gritted her teeth, regretting that she hadn't just killed him.
She immediately covered Pei Fengzhi's mouth, withdrew the hand holding the dagger, and slammed the dagger handle heavily into his chest, using violence to warn Pei Fengzhi.
Pei Fengzhi let out a muffled groan.
Almost simultaneously, a hesitant knocking sounded from outside the door.
"Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!"
Ye Ningwan covered Pei Fengzhi's mouth, pressed the tall and slender man against the wall, and pressed her entire body almost against Pei Fengzhi's, her thick breath spraying onto Pei Fengzhi's neck.
Pei Fengzhi could even hear Ye Ningwan's accelerated heartbeat.
The person outside finally lost patience and called out loudly into the bedroom.
"gentlemen?"
The other party clearly did not know the true identity of the person who came today, but only knew that the person's status was not low and that they were definitely not someone they could easily offend.
In the quiet, dark bedroom, Pei Fengzhi was by the door, but he was pinned against the wall, a hand covering his mouth, and a sharp dagger pressed against his neck. Crimson blood flowed down the dagger, preventing him from making a sound.
Unfortunately, the bodyguards searching outside had no idea about any of this. They looked at each other, seeing a hint of doubt and suspicion in each other's eyes.
Not long after, without receiving any response from the bedroom, the bodyguard couldn't help but shout into the bedroom again at a higher volume.
"Sir, we are the manor's bodyguards. A petty thief has broken into the manor, and we are looking for him now."
After a while, the bodyguard, still receiving no response, finally became suspicious and shouted at Pei Fengzhi in the bedroom one last time.
"Sir, are you alright? If you don't respond soon, we're coming in!"
The doorknob was pressed down again.
