Chapter 29: Worry

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Yunxiu’s heart was beating like thunder. Her actions were faster than her thoughts. After getting off the bed, she immediately locked the door and pressed her petite body against it.

At this moment, she was very sure that there was someone outside the door. She was very afraid on the way back, but she was not hallucinating.

The air conditioner in the room was on, so logically speaking, she shouldn’t be feeling warm, but Su Yunxiu’s forehead was already sweating.

Someone started knocking on the door. Every knock felt like a knock on her heart.

She had only seen similar pranks in small videos before, but she did not expect this to happen to her.

The password was changed by her. If the other party could still enter, it meant that he had a spare key.

“Miss Su, I know you’re inside. I have something to discuss with you.”

Through the thick door, Su Yunxiu heard his words clearly. His eyes widened. This voice belonged to the landlord!

She did not relax and remained vigilant. She covered her mouth tightly to prevent the scream from breaking out of her throat.

If she didn’t make a sound, the other party might leave.

When she turned on her phone, she subconsciously thought of Xu Mu and the phone number that she had memorized.

Another knock on the door, louder than before, pulled the girl back from her thoughts. Her fingers stopped on the dial page for a long time. More and more sweat appeared on her forehead. She bit her lower lip and forced herself to calm down.

They had nothing to do with each other anymore, so Su Yunxiu didn’t want to call him.

It would take time for the police to rush over, but Lin Qingwan was closer. Su Yunxiu didn’t hesitate to send a message to Lin Qingwan before sending a message to the police.

Her typing was a little shaky, and she had typed the wrong words several times. It took a few minutes for the message to be successfully sent. The only thing she could do now was to stall for time and fight for help.

“Stop pretending. I know you’re in the room. Do you think I can’t do anything if you hide in there?”

He had already observed Su Yunxiu. She left early and returned early. Occasionally, when she was late, she would go shopping. She was alone and did not have a boyfriend. It was precisely because of this that she was an easy target.

Su Yunxiu was beautiful and he had been itching for a few days. Today, he finally couldn’t hold it in and couldn’t wait to do it.

“You’d better leave quickly. My boyfriend will be back soon.”

Su Yunxiu cleared her throat. When she spoke, her voice was still trembling.

She knew a little of martial arts but the other party was a man. She did not have a 100% chance of winning.

At this moment, she finally understood that the fear she had been feeling for the past few days was probably not because of the pressure of work. She also understood why he could not wait for her to rent the apartment when they first met.

Chen Dong was not afraid because of what she said. Instead, he revealed a wretched smile and knocked on the door rhythmically again and again. “Do you think I don’t know? You don’t have a boyfriend at all. A lying girl has to pay the price.”

“You won’t be able to escape tonight anyway. If you know what’s good for you, open the door. But if you want to play, I can play a game of cat and mouse with you.”

After saying this, the man was a little impatient. He looked for something hard outside and began to smash the door.

At this rate, the door would be smashed open by him sooner or later. The other party could have used a spare key to enter, but he chose to torture her will in this way.

Lin Qingwan had received an invitation to form a team in the group. She had originally wanted to invite Su Yunxiu to join her, but she never expected to see her request for help.

Su Yunxiu: [Wanwan, I’m in the apartment. Come and save me!]

With just four words, Lin Qingwan’s right eyelid twitched subconsciously. She was anxious and immediately got up from the sofa, put on her slippers, and ran out.

Su Yunxiu would not make such a joke. The only possibility was that she was really in danger.

As she ran, she called Yu Wenci and said that something had happened to Xiuxiu. Before she could finish, the other party had already hung up.

She bumped into the helper’s shoulder. Afraid that she would fall, Lin Qingwan caught her in time. “Auntie, are you alright?”

“It’s fine. Miss, where are you going in such a hurry? Didn’t you say you wanted to eat watermelon? Auntie has already bought them.”

Lin Qingwan didn’t have time to explain too much. She simply said, “I have something on. I’m going out for a while, so I won’t eat the watermelon.”

The other party was speechless.

She was amazed that someone who was usually too lazy to exercise could run so fast.

Yu Wenci would definitely pass by her house when he went out. Lin Qingwan was waiting at the entrance of the villa. As expected, she saw his car and quickly waved.

The man stopped the car and Lin Qingwan quickly got in. The car drove quickly, cutting through the silent night sky.

Yu Wenci had been driving for so many years, so he was definitely more stable than her. This was also the reason why she didn’t drive herself.

The short journey was made in ten minutes.

Before the security guard could react, the two of them ran in through the small door at the side like a gust of wind.

The security guard blinked in confusion.

Wait a minute! Did someone seem to have run past him?

By the time he reacted, they had already disappeared. He couldn’t chase after them even if he wanted to.

Were they in a hurry to reincarnate or something? Was there a need to run so fast?

Su Yunxiu pushed everything she could move in the room to the door and curled up behind the items.

Lin Qingwan: [What’s your password?]

Su Yunxiu knew that her friend was already there, so she quickly entered the password and sent it over.

After a few seconds, the knocking stopped and was replaced by a man’s wail.

“This is my place. Who are you? How dare you break into my place and hit me? I’m going to sue you.”

The man’s hand was in a twisted position that was subdued by Yu Wenci as he cursed.

At this moment, he could not move his body and could only use his mouth to attack.

Lin Qingwan looked at his wretched face and slapped him without hesitation. “How shameless. The police will be here soon. Just wait.”

Hearing that the police would come, Chen Dong panicked and struggled to escape.

Yu Wenci wouldn’t let him leave so easily. He kicked him in the foot. Chen Dong’s legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. His shoulder was pressed down by Yu Wenci, who was stronger than him. Chen Dong struggled for a long time but didn’t have any strength.

Yu Wenci looked up. His eyes were as cold as water, without a trace of warmth. He gave Lin Qingwan a look.

The latter understood right away. The door was still locked from the inside, so she knocked on the door: “Xiuxiu, are you inside? You’re fine now, you can come out.”

Su Yunxiu’s legs were a little weak. She pushed herself up. After calming down, she said in a hoarse voice, “Okay, wait a moment.”

Tears welled up in her eyes. She opened the door and walked out. The moment she saw Lin Qingwan, she couldn’t help but pounce on her and hug her.

Lin Qingwan patted her back. “It’s alright, it’s alright. He’s been subdued.”

Su Yunxiu hugged Lin Qingwan and faced Chen Dong and Yu Wenci.

One was kneeling while the other was standing.

The latter’s eyes were filled with worry.

Su Yunxiu was stunned. She was surprised to see him and was even more confused by the emotions in his eyes.

Was Yu Wenci worried about her?
