Chapter 524: The Favorite of the Entertainment Circle (43)
The meaning of solution is very clear.
Chi Hao could understand. He just needed to deal with Qiao Xi like he had dealt with those people who got in the way before.
but……
Chi Hao opened his lips and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
"Didn't you say she was Ce's woman? If we get rid of her, will Ce be able to afford it when he holds us accountable?"
There was no response from the other end.
That in itself is a very strange thing.
When they first heard Ce's statement, they knew Qiao Xi was very important to Ce. But when they really started to discuss things, Ce's people started to disappear again.
Or practice Tai Chi.
It's starting to get vague.
They said they were murdering someone, but the other side remained indifferent.
They couldn't figure out what this attitude was, so they could only keep Qiao Xi temporarily. And this stay lasted for more than two months.
There was no response from the other side.
At the same time, Chi Hao also had a vague ominous premonition, but he couldn't tell what the feeling was.
But that's the policy side.
It is true that they still keep in touch occasionally, and recently he even asked to have a video call with Qiao Xi.
Obviously.
After Chi Hao finished speaking, Yu Jinnian's calm and serious face was also covered with a gloom.
Qiao Xi is useful.
So they didn't do it.
But now Qiao Xi's presence has obviously disturbed his mind and made Chi Hao bewildered.
He even let his own brother fall into his trap without realizing it.
No one noticed.
Such a process change is really a bit scary.
Deliberate seduction?
Or do you have some other plans?
This side of Qiao Xi is very consistent with what a normal woman should behave like, but it does not provide the fundamental reason why Yu Jinnian feels disgusted with those normal women.
It’s just that Qiao Xi didn’t cry or scream.
Nor did he threaten them by retaliating by means of hunger strike or hanging after being kidnapped.
on the contrary.
When Qiao Xi was being violated, she resisted and even cried, but she looked like this... only made people feel pity and care.
It seems that this is also the case.
Plus, she is usually very strong.
So even Yu Jinnian himself unconsciously wanted to explore her thoughts, to understand her inner world. He also wanted to know... what kind of person she was, and why she could remain so strong in such a situation.
Ordinary people would probably be in great danger if they were violated.
Or a mental breakdown.
How can I tolerate such a thing, and even have to live with the person who hurt me day and night?
Qiao Xi did show disgust towards them.
But Yu Jinnian vaguely felt that this disgust was more like a superficial effort. In fact, he did not realize how much Qiao Xi really hated him to the point of wanting to die.
Disgust, yes.
But that was more like making them feel that she was resisting and feeling disgusted and unwilling.
And we just do superficial work to deal with them.
Now think about it.
This is the feeling that Yu Jinnian gets.
Chi Hao hadn't noticed, or even realized, that Qiao Xi still hated him, even though she had trusted him for a short time before and had developed feelings for him.
But because he betrayed Qiao Xi.
So Qiao Xi hated him.
After he got the girl back, he threw himself into it. He was thinking about how to make up for Qiao Xi and how to make up for the harm he had caused her.
The girl's behavior was very normal.
It is also very consistent with the series of reactions that a person should have after being hurt.
So he didn't suspect anything.
Naturally, I wouldn't think that deeply.
Yu Jinnian's words were because he was not focused on Qiao Xi. He sensed his strong disgust and hatred towards himself, or towards Chi Hao.
so……
Only then did I become a little suspicious.
Chi Hao was so close to her and cared about her, he must have done that kind of thing before. However, Yu Jinnian did not see from her that she disliked Chi Hao.
This and when treating him.
It's different again.
When facing him alone, Qiao Xi was undoubtedly resistant.
Slight distinctions and subtle differences.
It also made Yu Jinnian begin to feel somewhat repulsed by the relationship between Chi Hao and Qiao Xi. He probably had some selfish motives at work.
Words spoken without consideration.
He made a fatal mistake that Yu Jinnian would never have made before.
Having failed to consider the reality and deal with Qiao Xi, he really cannot bear the responsibility of being held accountable.
After all, Qiao Xi is also their bargaining chip.
"You're in too deep." Yu Jinnian said slowly in a low voice.
"...It doesn't matter. I know my limits."
Chi Hao looked away and didn't look at him again, but his attitude was very firm, and he held the girl's waist tightly.
Qiao Xi was held in his arms without saying a word.
However, her slightly swollen lips seemed to still have some traces of Yu Jinnian.
"Leave her to me."
Yu Jinnian's eyes darkened slightly, and his attitude was not at all polite.
Qiao Xi was held like this by Chi Hao.
He felt more upset than he had expected.
and.
Just now, as the kiss deepened, all his emotions were aroused, even though Chi Hao had disrupted the situation.
But now she sees her brother protecting her like this.
That subtle feeling of discomfort came back.
"I don't want to fall out with you over a woman. It doesn't matter who Qiao Xi is imprisoned with. Brother Nian, do you... actually want to have a good chat with her?"
Chi Hao suppressed his anger.
There was no longer any clue on that handsome face, but when his slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes cast their gaze over intentionally or unintentionally, Yu Jinnian could sense the dangerous aura hidden beneath them.
What exactly is the reason why he wants Qiao Xi?
Was it Yu Jinnian's own selfishness, or was it out of concern that he would fall too deeply?
In Chi Hao's opinion.
Yu Jinnian prefers the former.
After all, when he just came out, he saw clearly what Yu Jinnian did to Qiao Xi.
To say that it wasn't Yu Jinnian who did it.
Could it be that Qiao Xi had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms? With Yu Jinnian's physique, this alone could have crushed Qiao Xi.
Not to mention.
As the leader, Yu Jinnian also carries a gun with him. If anyone approaches or poses a threat, he can shoot them.
Hostages like Qiao Xi who were kidnapped.
Without a gun or any defensive skills, you can only be slaughtered. Even if you have it, if you dare to resist, you will die.
"I told you that if you continue to keep her around, it will only hurt you."
Yu Jinnian's gaze sank slightly.
After slightly looking away, his attention was focused on Qiao Xi.
Yu Jinnian took a few steps forward to close the distance.
Chi Hao's peach blossom eyes quickly turned cold, and just as he was on guard, Yu Jinnian grabbed Qiao Xi and forcefully pulled her from Chi Hao's arms, bringing her to his side.
When he realized Yu Jinnian's intention.
Chi Hao pulled his arm back, trying to wrap his arms around the girl's waist again. However, he was a step too slow, and Yu Jinnian succeeded.
"Don't forget who you are."
Especially when Chi Hao frankly admitted that he had feelings for Qiao Xi.
There was no way he would hand Qiao Xi over to the other party.
“…”
Chi Hao clenched his fists, his expression gloomy.
Yu Jinnian didn't look at him again.
Pulling Qiao Xi straight past him, Chi Hao's attack on him and being able to remain unharmed was already his greatest kindness and tolerance. If he still wanted to be shameless, even if he was the second-in-command, he would be blamed.
Qiao Xi was taken away and locked up.
But it's no longer in the basement.
But... Yu Jinnian's private basement, where Yu Jinnian personally monitored her every move.
The structure of this basement.
It is similar to the one Qiao Xi had stayed in before, but compared to the two, this one is slightly more spacious.
The environment looks better too.
But this place is even darker than the previous one, and it is more in line with the appearance of the basement that Qiao Xi imagined.
Dry and soft bed and bedding.
Next to it is a desk and a desk lamp. The only light in the room is the turned-on desk lamp, which emits a soft and hazy orange glow.
Reflected on the surrounding gray-black retro-style walls.
The air was filled with a faint smell of dampness and dust.
Probably because no one has been here for a long time.
It looked as if it had only recently been cleaned up.
She was locked up in the basement of Yu Jinnian's villa, her freedom was restricted again, and Yu Jinnian did not allow her to go out.
But it’s not a big deal for Qiao Xi.
Thanks to Chi Hao.
She had a period of freedom, and during that time she had collected all the evidence and had access to all the confidential documents and information that needed to be backed up.
This will also be the decisive key evidence.
The people over there have begun to find clues about her and are investigating and searching for her.
And faster than that.
It was Ce and Diwuye who first got hold of the intelligence about Hei Yidao.
[I have some bad news, the fifth night is here]
The Little Black Cat System looked at the virtual screen and was slightly surprised after noticing the progress of one of the people.
Although strategies are also being prepared.
But his subordinates strongly protested against him going there in person. In order to suppress and eliminate those who disobeyed his orders, he simply waited for these people to jump out here.
Wait until everyone has shouted enough.
Only then was it completely suppressed and cleared up at once.
Do these things.
It also took a little time, so his progress fell a little behind the fifth night.
"Didn't you stop them?"
Qiao Xi was still a little confused. Didn’t they say they would stop him? Why did they come to him so quickly?
[I did stop him, but his actions were a bit rough]
The Little Black Cat System shrugged.
This person was already mentally ill, and after realizing that he couldn't find Qiao Xi in that way, or being stopped, he became annoyed.
Just look for it in reality.
Every catch is accurate.
Before Xiang Yuan was taken away by the police, he was found on the fifth night. Xiang Yuan had been beaten up by this man before, so when they met again, Xiang Yuan was naturally a little nervous.
But he still insisted.
He insisted that he had never met Qiao Xi and was unwilling to admit it.
There was no nonsense on the fifth night either.
He put the knife on the man and was about to slit his throat, so Xiang Yuan just confessed everything.
Then I found it naturally.
The existence of the two systems had already greatly slowed them down, preventing them from finding Qiao Xi too quickly. Now that Qiao Xi had obtained the key evidence, there was naturally no need to delay the two any longer.
The basement here is also monitored.
After Yu Jinnian threw her in, he never saw her again except for the time when the two of them ate together in silence during mealtime.
The atmosphere seemed to become a little subtle.
But Qiao Xi didn't care.
She didn't provoke Yu Jinnian. She stayed alone in the lockup as usual and did what she had to do.
Yu Jinnian was a little suspicious of her at first.
But after observation, I found out.
Qiao Xi was the same as before, even when she didn't have to face Chi Hao, the girl had that relieved expression on her face, as if she was finally free.
It also made him figure it out.
It’s probably not that Qiao Xi doesn’t hate Chi Hao, but she is hiding her true feelings.
Plus...
Because she was in front of Chi Hao, she couldn't show her emotions, so she acted like she didn't care?
Very reasonable explanation.
His thoughts gradually became clearer. Qiao Xi's behavior was consistent with his understanding of women, so he didn't say anything else.
therefore.
When Yu Jinnian couldn't get any news from Ce, and realized that Chi Hao had been a little absent-minded during this period, he simply took his tools and went to find Qiao Xi.
Broken arms and legs.
It can also be considered a warning.
He was not so helpless, and this was not the first time he had done this to someone who was useful to him. He had never been rough with Qiao Xi, and perhaps that was why Ce thought Qiao Xi was safe.
And in fact it is true.
There was no way Chi Hao, who was obsessed with her, would do anything to her.
But Yu Jinnian is different. He currently regards Qiao Xi as his own property.
How he wants to be treated.
It's his right.
In the dim basement room, Qiao Xi was sitting at the desk, reading a book, propping up her cheeks and feeling drowsy. When she was here, she felt that time was passing a little slowly.
There is no internet, no entertainment, and no one to talk to.
Freedom is restricted again.
The only companions she had were books and Yu Jinnian, who dined with her every day. However, after dinner, the man would put her back here and not allow her to go out.
Such a life is undoubtedly depressing.
Qiao Xi also felt a little bored.
Fortunately, she can still read books, so she won’t feel bored or think time is long as she absorbs knowledge.
The night deepens.
Qiao Xi also closed the book and put it away and went to the bathroom. Fortunately, Yu Jinnian was not so crazy as to install surveillance in the bathroom, so she didn't have to feel any psychological burden when using it.
Closed bathroom door.
After a while, the sound of running water was heard.
It was at this time.
The basement door opened silently, the gentle click of the door completely blocking out the outside sounds. The steady footsteps seemed to be intentionally quiet, and he had indeed achieved his goal.
The sound of running water in the bathroom.
Perfectly concealed Yu Jinnian's footsteps.
He came to the bathroom door and looked at the closed door. Without any hesitation, he reached out and slowly opened it.
“Squeak—”
The subtle sound of the door opening was so quiet that it was almost unnoticeable.
The girl standing over there, with her back to the door, was showering, rinsing off the lather. Qiao Xi's long hair was gently tied up, revealing the beautiful and elegant lines of her neck. Her pale shoulders and snow-white skin were shrouded in the mist of steam.
It was steamed in slightly hot water to a pale pink color.
The misty water vapor is like a nimble snake, which begins to coil around its prey once it finds it.
Dry clothes are soaked with moisture.
The scented shower gel chosen by Yu Jinnian for Qiao Xi has a rich sweet scent, as refreshing as honey.
Yu Jinnian's eyes were deep.
He tightened the rope in his hand.
Just as he took a step towards Qiao Xi, the girl who was taking a bath over there seemed to finally realize that someone had come in.
only.
The moment she sensed the murderous intent, her sharp body reacted much faster than her thinking.
Qiao Ximei's eyes were slightly cold.
When the murderous intent approached, she turned sideways with lightning speed, accurately grabbed the wrist of the person behind her, pulled him over and suppressed him with her backhand.
In an instant, a terrifying force attacked.
Yu Jinnian hadn't had time to recover from the sudden incident. When his wrist was grabbed and he was pressed down, his thoughts hadn't come back to normal.
“Swish——”
When he was suddenly pushed to the ground, the scalding hot water from the shower that soaked the ground quickly entered his nose.
I haven't been able to react in time to what happened.
It was not until the scalding hot water soaked his clothes completely that Yu Jinnian came to his senses and was filled with unprecedented anger.
Replace it with murderous intent.
It is a stronger anger.
Is Ce's woman hiding her true abilities? She has been letting them down their guard all along?
Countless possibilities of being plotted against began to emerge in Yu Jinnian's mind, until the soaked Qiao Xi inadvertently glanced at the thick rope that fell to the side and realized Yu Jinnian's intention.
"What is Mr. Yu going to do?"
Her slender hand held Yu Jinnian firmly, always controlling the man who was forced to lie on the ground.
The girl's other hand is free.
She slowly picked up the rope beside her, and her voice, pretending to be doubtful, was as innocent as usual. Her bright and lively cute tone even had a little playful ending.
"Why would you bring any gifts if you just come?"
There was a bright smile in the little girl's voice, and she was like a beautiful blooming rose.
When the clear and beautiful eyes are slightly curved.
She hid the bone-chilling coldness in her eyes well, clearly devoid of any warmth. But the voice that emanated from those soft lips carried a girl's shyness and resentment.
There is a hint of complaint.
But to others, it sounded more like the flirting of a young couple.
The rope fell to the ground.
Coiled like a snake, the color of the hemp rope seemed to become darker when wetted by boiling water.
Her slender hands pulled at the rope.
She tied Yu Jinnian up slowly, and the man, pinned down by her and unable to move, only tried to struggle out at this moment. However, he felt the weight on his back was like a mountain, impossible to shake.
When he was struggling.
Qiao Xi tightened her grip on his wrist, causing a sharp sting of pain. The girl, who was tying the rope around his hands, had no intention of stopping.
He quickly tied the rope around his hands behind his back.
But there is still a lot of length left.
Qiao Xi thought about doing the same as before, so she wrapped the rope around Yu Jinnian's legs.
"Have you prepared for this?"
The man's voice was terrifyingly low, like the calm before the storm. Yu Jinnian, bound by her limbs and pushed over to sit against the wall, looked up at the slender girl standing before him without reservation.
His Adam's apple couldn't help but roll.
The vision also became a little darker.
"It was just an instinctive reaction after sensing murderous intent. What are you talking about, Mr. Yu?"
Qiao Xi did not turn off the shower head.
The moment she noticed his gaze, she simply covered herself with her bathrobe. Her slender hand slightly adjusted the shower head, raising the water temperature slightly, and poured it down on Yu Jinnian.
"instinct?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Jinnian just smiled sarcastically.
He should have been on guard against Qiao Xi earlier. Thinking that she was the woman by Ce's side, she should not be a simple and easy-going person.
But Yu Jinnian ignored it.
He also made the same mistake that people like them would make. He thought that Ce would not look for a woman with a special identity, and would probably look for someone more ordinary.
After all, he has status and means.
It’s hard to tell who is behind this. If they are here to assassinate me, I will be in trouble one day.
He didn't think about that.
In addition, in the previous investigation, when Qiao Xi went out with Ce, she was completely a love-brained and brainless woman. She let Ce, a special person like him, accompany her on things like shopping, watching movies, dating, and making handicrafts.
Yu Jinnian just felt.
Exposing yourself in public is the most foolish thing to do.
Otherwise, Ce wouldn't have such a handle discovered by him, no matter how well he concealed it, but Qiao Xi was the kind of person who wanted everyone in the world to know about her love affairs.
Running around like this with Ce in broad daylight.
For people like them who have a grudge against Ce, it means clearly exposing Ce's weaknesses and soft spots for them to exploit.
And Yu Jinnian did take action.
Tell Chi Hao to bring her back.
The scalding water kept pouring down, making the completely wet clothes stick to the body, giving people an extremely uncomfortable and strange feeling.
Yu Jinnian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his usually calm and composed face now had the same cold and sharp seriousness as before.
He wasn't affected too much.
He was also certain that Qiao Xi did not have the courage to attack him.
It was just a temporary counterattack that was successful, which made it easy for people to become complacent. To Yu Jinnian, it was just the stubbornness of a little girl with false pretenses.
Qiao Xi was wearing a loose white bathrobe.
Under the mist, her long, straight legs were still stained with water droplets that had not been wiped off in time, and this was especially true on her delicate collarbone.
Her snow-white skin with a hint of pink looks very attractive.
Like a ripe peach.
Before coming in, Yu Jinnian had prepared himself mentally to attack her, tie her up and take her away to prevent Qiao Xi from struggling.
This kind of thing.
It could have been handed over to someone else.
But a selfish voice sounded in his subconscious, not wanting others to see Qiao Xi's body, nor did he want something like Chi Hao to happen.
There is always a little selfishness in it.
Since it is his property and everything he controls, it is only natural for him to take action.
only……
The desire brought by not being touched for so long was much stronger than he had imagined.
Yu Jinnian shifted his gaze slightly.
The hot water poured on the body was accompanied by a gradually rising scorching temperature.
His breathing seemed to become somewhat disordered, and he lowered his eyes to hide the slight discomfort in his eyes. Still maintaining his usual stern and silent demeanor of a superior, he glanced at the girl indifferently.
"Knowing that you have some abilities, I can't keep you here."
Than her healthy self.
It would be more direct to kill him directly, and the threat would be smaller. As long as he was not dead, it would not be considered a complete offense to Ce.
