Not far from there, the thunder gradually rose. The weather was so oppressive that people could barely breathe. The pitch-black sky almost connected the mountain range together.
The lightning was similar to a sharp hatchet cutting open the sky. Torrential rain was imminent.
The group had barely left the villa when they were ambushed. “Miss Ye, be careful!”
Although these bodyguards shouted like this, they in fact absolutely would not protect Ye Shaohua at all. Rather, they unobtrusively held Shi Xue in a closed up tight protection.
“Did Young Master Yun's people not come?” Seeing that Qi Zihua's right arm was once again bruised, and the housekeeper's voice sank, his expression could not cover his constant anxiety.
Qi Zihua snorted, his mouth tightly closed and he then shook his head.
Who would have thought that Qingyun gang would set about at this period of time. Here was very far from the urban district, he absolutely could not wait for He Muyun's people. Not to mention, He Muyun's temperament was too eccentric, Qi Zihua did not dare to bet on him.
“There are monitors here. If they dare to take the risk to set about, they obviously came prepared.” Qi Zihua pressed his temple and leaned on the side of the car, it seemed that he had made some kind of plan. Word by word, he said: ” Uncle Qi, you go down the mountain first.”
Hearing up to this, Qi Zihua looked at Ye Shaohua, “Are you going down the mountain?”
He had long known that Ye Shaohua would not go down the mountain. The way down the mountain was filled with Qingyun gang's people. How could Ye Shaohua throw away her life and choose to go down the mountain?
“I will go up the mountain to try to find the director and ask for his help, I don't want to be a burden on you…” If Qi Zihua and his group paid attention to Shaohua, they could have seen that there was not the least panic on her face, calm and collected up to dreadful.
“Alright,” Qi Zihua directly interrupted her. He didn’t want to listen to her next words. Instead, she said to his Housekeeper Qi: “You bring Shi Xue down the mountain, leave this side to me. Qingyun gang is mainly targeting me. I have already informed my dad that I wanted the rescue up the mountain.”
“But, Young Master, you…” Housekeeper Qi's complexion showed great surprise.
“Otherwise, we won't be able to leave”
As a matter of fact housekeeper Qi was not a person who ignored the overall situation. He grinded his teeth and took the Shi Xue down the mountain.
When Shi Xue pulled Qi Zihua’s sleeves and refused to go, Qi Zihua patiently advised her that it was dangerous to stay with him.
“I am not afraid,” Shi Xue shook her head, glistening teardrops in her eyes. “I am not the least bit afraid to die…”
Qi Zihua looked at her,his face was moved. Finally, he unyieldingly forced housekeeper Qi to take Shi Xue away.
Then he and Ye Shaohua were left alone. He wanted to go up the mountain with Ye Shaohua to attract most of Qingyun Gang's firepower, all in order to let the Shi Xue safely go down the mountain.
The villa was surrounded by an impenetrable air.
Qi Zihua originally thought that Ye Shaohua would turn pale with fright as she was approaching death. He didn’t expect for her face to not even change color. This made him feel a bit strange. However, this kind of occasion was not enough for him to think about, breaking through and going uphill was more important.
Although he stayed, Qi Zihua had already thought of a good way out, he did not want to throw away his life after all.
Honglong1–
The lightning above their head made the pitch-black mountain bright as snow!
The pilipala of the rain dropped from the sky2!
Qi Zihua’s blurred vision only saw a red light flying towards himself, its speed was extremely fast. This heavy weapon was almost inevitable. This was also the last thing he was aware of before he lost consciousness.
Ye Shaohua used the side of her hand to make Qi Zihua faint3, and then she dragged this king chess piece into a dense underbrush in the villa.
“Qi Zihua, you have to remember that you are the only person in Ye Shaohua’s life that she regarded as the love of her life, but this is also the last time she helped you, the last time she loved you. Whether you can survive or not, from now on, let's both find our own happiness4.”
She was saying Ye Shaohua, not “I.”
Ye Shaohua stood beside him, white light cut open the night, reflected on her gem-like white face.
The rain water mixed with her pitch-black hair, her beauty taking in people's heart and soul.
She took his coat and decided to walk in the heavy rain with determination.
This was the previous Ye Shaohua's wish. That silly girl, who attempted in vain to get Qi Zihua to love her, but didn't know that even if she died, he would not feel the least bit guilty in his heart. From beginning to end, he hadn't believed that Ye Shaohua truly loved him.
He Muyun sent his men at the hilltop's border to find Ye Shaohua. There were people lying on her feet, everything broken and in disorder. On the opposite of her, there were still several big black-clothed man with heavy weapons. The weapons in their hands were directly facing Ye Shaohua.
The dagger in her hand was dripping blood, and you could almost not see the original color of her white casual shirt anymore.
Blending with the rain water dropping down.
Like an asura on the edge of hell, mysterious and seductive.
He Muyun's eyes did not directly pass through those people. His deep and cold gaze directly fell on Ye Shaohua. His umbrella was also not unfolded, but, even if it was, it would not be able to cover his noble and dangerous aura. “Qi Zihua, is he worthy of someone like you?”
Ye Shaohua glanced at him and did not speak.
He Muyun's face, it made Qingyun gang's people turn into ash, they could recognise it too. Now, even if they were stupid, they could guess that the Ye Shaohua in front of them had some connection with him, so much so that for her, he even dispatch his most elite subordinates.
When he mixed internationally a few years ago, very few people dared to oppose him, because the people who opposed him basically disappeared.
“Young Master Yun, I didn’t think you would move your people,” the black-haired chef said with his finger on the trigger. “As long as you are willing to let us off, I will leave her a way out, how about it?”
“You, don’t move your hand and I will let you go,” He Muyun let go of the gun in his hand, the pupil of his eyes deep as he looked at him. “If something bad happens to her while she is in your hands, I guarantee that there will be no Qingyun gang in this world tomorrow.”
The people of Qingyun Gang kept Ye Shaohua under control and stepped back towards the road.
But unexpectedly, that Ye Shaohua wouldn’t move at all. She faintly said: “Do I look so easy to bully? Chen Tangzhu?”
He didn’t expect this ordinary woman who mixed in the entertainment circle to say his own name.
Huge changes appeared on the face of this Chen Tangzhu, who was holding her.
Ye Shaohua reached out her hand and carelessly wiped the bloodstain on the corner of her lips. She leaned her head and smiled with devilish charm: “Did you forget who intercepted your goods a week ago?”
“Was it not Qi family's people?” Chen Tangzhu’s pupil contracted.
The next second, the cold edge of a blade flashed past his face, he immediately fell down very straight. He looked around him, and Ye Shaohua was holding his weapon in her hand, laughing: “Naive, to Ye Family, that group is trash. How could they rob it?”
“You…you are…” Finally, Chen Tangzhu couldn't finish his sentence.
“Young, Young Master…she…she…” He Muyun's assistant stood on the side. He looked at the so mysterious Ye Shaohua and her powerful aura. He somehow couldn't react. Was it still that unknown star who was rumoured online to only know how to create hype?
Wasn’t she an ordinary newly rich? How could she know so many things about the underground business?
He Muyun only said 'ei'5, and simply walked toward Ye Shaohua in a big strides. When he just walked to her side, she could not support herself anymore and collapsed.
Her body had not been specially trained, she could only push it until now and it already reached its limits.
Seeing Ye Shaohua, who was completely lacking self-protection, faint in his embrace, He Muyun's complexion greatly changed: “Let Norman hurry back!”
The next day, Qi Zihua woke up in the hospital.
“Are you okay?” Shi Xue took care of him all night without sleeping, and when she saw him waking up, she almost cried tears of joy. “What about Shaohua? Yesterday, Sheng Ge didn't find her, did something happen a?”
When Ye Shaohua was mentioned, Qi Zihua saw that the nice surprise on Shi Xue's face dissipate. “She? When I lost consciousness, she escaped.”
