CHAPTER 1073: CHAPTER 1073: CAN’T BE WITHOUT YOU (9)

Qian Xueying’s broken voice was as hoarse as a rusty saw blade, sounding particularly jarring in the empty, silent space, "I know you’re in there, now, be a good boy and get out!"

Feeling her way along, hearing Chu Xinqing’s sneezing, Qian Xueying immediately rushed nearby.

It was just because she was too far away, she wasn’t sure of their exact location, so she used this method to provoke them into making noise, so she could find their position.

Holding a gun in one hand, vigilantly observing the surroundings, Qian Xueying reached for her cell phone with the other hand and dialed the driver’s number.

"Come over right away, they’re in the office building, on the third floor!"

Inside the room, catching her voice in her ears, Chu Xinqing instinctively shrank her body behind Qiao Liang.

Stretching out his palm, reassuringly patting her back, Qiao Liang carefully leaned close to her ear.

"You hide inside."

Inside this room, there was another door, leading to a storage room, the room Qiao Liang was referring to.

Up to this moment, there was still no sound of police sirens, which meant it would take a bit more time for the police to arrive. Before they did, he had to ensure Chu Xinqing’s safety.

The opponent not only had a gun but there were two of them. If they regrouped, it would be too dangerous.

The best way to handle this was to find a way to take care of Qian Xueying before her backup arrived; otherwise, it would be very challenging for him to handle her and her subordinates alone.

"What about you?"

Chu Xinqing whispered.

"I will guard outside, the police will be here soon, nothing will happen." Qiao Liang gently ruffled her hair, "Be good, go quickly, and remember to be quiet."

Chu Xinqing softly responded, cautiously stepping away from his side.

"Xiaoqing!" Qiao Liang reached out to grab her, bringing his lips close to her ear, "Remember, no matter what happens, unless the police arrive, do not come out."

A sudden intense feeling of fear rose in her heart, Chu Xinqing reached out and grabbed his hand.

"No... I don’t want to be separated from you!"

Her hand was so cold, without any warmth, and her voice was trembling a little.

She sensibly guessed that he must want to do something, even though she didn’t know exactly what he intended to do, but at this moment, no matter what he did, it was too dangerous; she didn’t want him to take risks.

"Let’s hide... wait for the police to come!" Holding onto him, her hands trembled from exertion, "Aliang, don’t leave me, please..."

BAM!

A heart-pounding sound suddenly rang out — Qian Xueying kicked open a slightly ajar door with force, shining light from the phone into the room. Confirming no one was inside, she immediately backed out to search the next room.

After notifying through a phone call to her subordinates, she had already turned on the flashlight on her phone and was searching room by room. Qiao Liang and Chu Xinqing didn’t have any weapons, so she wasn’t worried that they would be aware of her presence.

Chu Xinqing was startled, her heart racing, and she held her breath in a panic.

The sound wasn’t far from them; he had to be ready to respond. Qiao Liang raised his hand to grasp her shoulder.

"Quick, hide!" Feeling her entire body trembling violently, Qiao Liang’s hand moved from her shoulder to hold her face, meeting her eyes in the dim night, "I promise you, I’m right here, I will not leave you. Xiaoqing, be obedient!"

Gazing into his eyes for a moment, Chu Xinqing regained a bit of her courage.
