CHAPTER 202: CHAPTER 202: FIERY EMBRACE

Lin Xiaoyan was completely unaware of this; she was terribly frightened at the moment.

After He Qi’an dealt with the group outside, he walked into the room with a stern face.

"Xiaoyan? Yanyan?"

He Qi’an glanced around the room, noticing Lin Xiaoyan was nowhere to be seen. His expression changed as he quickly entered the room to search.

"Yanyan? Lin Xiaoyan?"

When He Qi’an reached the bathroom, he found the door locked from the inside and immediately called Lin Xiaoyan.

The phone rang from inside, startling Lin Xiaoyan, and she quickly turned it off.

Seeing He Qi’an’s call on her phone, she hurriedly picked up, "Hello..."

Lin Xiaoyan answered softly.

"It’s safe outside now. I’m right outside the door; open it," He Qi’an’s voice came from outside.

Upon hearing He Qi’an say it was alright now, Lin Xiaoyan weakly crawled to the door, forcing herself up and opening it.

Seeing He Qi’an, Lin Xiaoyan wanted to rush into his arms but held back, swallowing her fear and looking around the room.

"Did... did those people... leave?" Lin Xiaoyan was still trembling as she spoke.

She couldn’t help it; it was her first time encountering such a situation.

Especially since these people weren’t even afraid of the police; if she were taken, the consequences would be like what she had "seen" happen to Xu Na before...

He Qi’an looked at the trembling, pale-faced Lin Xiaoyan and tightened his fist.

However, seeing Lin Xiaoyan give him a timid smile, he finally couldn’t resist and pulled Lin Xiaoyan into his arms.

Lin Xiaoyan was bewildered the moment she was embraced.

But as she felt the warm and solid embrace, she realized how cold her body was, how much she was trembling, and that He Qi’an’s chest... was filled with security.

Feeling the person in his arms gradually stop trembling, He Qi’an murmured, "Don’t be afraid, it’s okay now."

"Ding"

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyan’s phone rang once.

"Ding"

"Ding"

...The phone kept ringing as if it was triggered by something.

Lin Xiaoyan awkwardly tried to pull away from He Qi’an’s embrace but found he was holding her too tight.

"Monkey, make a call, get people over here!"

"I’m going to make sure this kid leaves his life here today!"

...The voices of that group suddenly sounded outside, and Lin Xiaoyan froze, looking up at He Qi’an.

"They’re still outside!"

He Qi’an looked at Lin Xiaoyan’s forehead and gently nodded.

"Hiss~"

Lin Xiaoyan hissed in pain and glared at He Qi’an, "What are you doing!"

He Qi’an released his arms, "It’s okay, stay here, I’m going to tie up those people outside."

Lin Xiaoyan watched as He Qi’an left; she followed him up to the doorway and sneakily peeked down the corridor.

Only to see several people laying in the hallway, all from the group that tried to grab her earlier.

When He Qi’an went out, those lying on the ground immediately quieted down upon seeing him.

Their legs were broken, and their ribs presumably too; this guy’s hand was really harsh!

After glancing, Lin Xiaoyan quickly pulled her head back, looking at her phone, deeply worried about Shi Wu’s safety.

Upon unlocking her phone, she saw numerous messages.

Xuan Shiyi: "Don’t worry, I just calculated, you’ll be fine!"

Xuan Shisan: "I just asked Shi Wu, she said she’s with you, don’t worry, Shi Wu is very skillful."

Xuan Wu: "Want an amulet? I’ll give you a 50% discount!"

Xuan Er: "This trip will be fruitful, nothing will happen!"

Lin Feng: "Xiao Lin, where are you? I’m still in Sichuan, don’t be afraid, I’ll be coming to save you soon..."

Lin Xiaoyan saw Lin Feng’s message and felt speechless!

She wanted to say that by the time he arrived, there wouldn’t be any bone fragments left of her!

Lin Xiaoyan again looked at Xuan Shiyi and others’ messages; Shiyi’s message she could understand—it meant she would be fine!

What did Shisan mean? Has she contacted Shi Wu?

Just pondering this, Lin Xiaoyan vaguely heard Shi Wu’s voice.

"Rest assured, leave it to me, they won’t get away!"

Lin Xiaoyan hurriedly went out and saw Shi Wu pulling out a rope from who knows where, working with He Qi’an to tie up those people.

"Shi Wu!" Lin Xiaoyan immediately ran to Shi Wu’s side, checking her up and down, "It’s good you’re okay. I was scared to death just now, I thought they’d taken you..."

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, Xuan Shiwu looked guilty, "I went downstairs to buy something..."

Lin Xiaoyan let out a breath of relief, "Good thing you went downstairs."

Hearing this, Xuan Shiwu felt even guiltier inside.

Actually, she knew there would be a small crisis tonight, but she realized that Xiaoyan would emerge from this crisis with good fortune...

So, she was in the room earlier and didn’t answer Xiaoyan’s call because she knew this crisis would be harmless.

But seeing Xiaoyan still worried for her now made her feel a bit guilty.

After He Qi’an tied everyone up, he looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "Pack your things; we’re going somewhere else to stay."

Seeing He Qi’an’s gaze, Lin Xiaoyan quickly shifted her eyes, her face turning beet red, and softly said, "Okay."

Then, she hurried into the room as if escaping.

Once inside, Lin Xiaoyan felt terribly bashful, thinking about that warm embrace from earlier and recalling He Qi’an’s gaze...

"Snap..."

Lin Xiaoyan patted her cheeks, finding them burning hot.

Better pack up and leave here first!

Lin Xiaoyan set aside all her thoughts and quickly packed her luggage.

Luckily, she had just arrived today, so her luggage wasn’t messy. She swiftly packed up, put on her shoes, and dragged her luggage outside.

Xuan Shiwu also came out pushing her luggage.

He Qi’an saw the two come out, hung up the phone, and walked over.

"Wait a while; someone will come to get us soon."

"Okay."

Lin Xiaoyan kept her head down, not daring to look at He Qi’an.

"Who are you? Coming to the Southern Province acting so arrogantly, do you know who we are?"

The man on the ground looked sinisterly at He Qi’an.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at him, then quickly turned her gaze away, unable to help but think of them torturing Officer Xu Na.

She turned to Xuan Shiwu, "What punishment will people like them, who commit so many crimes, face after death?"

Xuan Shiwu looked at those people and, upon seeing their faces, clicked her tongue, "They’re truly vicious!"

She walked to one of the men, "Betrayed his brothers, stabbed them in the back, will first experience the torture of being stabbed after death, letting him feel the pain of betrayal for years!"

The man who was spoken to looked up at the girl before him, indifferent, yet when he saw the girl’s deep gaze, memories of betraying his brothers flashed in his mind...

Xuan Shiwu walked to the next person.

"This guy hooked up with his brother’s woman behind his back, conspired with her to kill his brother, then later sold the woman to the venue..."
