Chen Xiao burst through the door, catching Li Ziqing with a spoon in hand, momentarily stunned.

Then, Chen Xiao strode forward and kicked the soup bowl out of Li Ziqing's hand.

Li Ziqing bit her silver teeth, her face filled with shock and anger.

Was this Chen Xiao crazy?

But then, a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"You're finally going to blame me, aren't you?"

Chen Xiao was puzzled. "Why would I blame you if there's poison in the soup?"

Li Ziqing was taken aback, looked down at the ground, and was immediately horrified.

The soup that Chen Xiao had kicked to the ground was hissing and emitting wisps of white smoke, clearly abnormal.

If she had drunk that, what would have happened?

Just then, a sinister voice came from behind Chen Xiao.

"Boy, you ruined my plan!"

Turning around, it was the delivery guy in the yellow vest.

Chen Xiao smiled disdainfully and snorted. "Luckily, I arrived in time. If I had been a few seconds later, you would have succeeded!"

The yellow-vested man sneered.

"Boy, since you're meddling in other people's business, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"There's a road to heaven, but you don't take it; hell has no gates, yet you barge in... Hah!"

With a strange cry, the yellow-vested man flashed a silver light, and a seven-inch-long soft sword was drawn from his waist.

The soft sword was very flexible, and the blade was extremely sharp, gleaming with a cold light.

The yellow-vested man wielded the soft sword at Chen Xiao, and flashes of sword light flickered.

Purple glow, blue sheen, myriad rays of light, and thousands of auspicious colors.

The blade arrived in an instant, like a灵蛇吐信!

Clang!

A muffled hum!

The soft sword's blade was still trembling on its own.

But the tip of the sword had already been caught between Chen Xiao's two fingers.

The yellow-vested man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief.

"Boy, who exactly are you?"

Chen Xiao sneered. "You're not worthy to ask me questions!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao's two fingers were as still and sharp as scissors.

With a few咔嚓咔嚓 sounds, the soft sword was cut into pieces.

In the end, only the hilt remained.

The yellow-vested man was furious.

"Boy, you destroyed my precious sword!"

Chen Xiao grinned.

"I'll not only destroy your precious sword, but I'll also destroy you!"

Before the yellow-vested man could react, Chen Xiao's large hand had grabbed his neck and pressed him against the windowsill.

The hospital room was on the thirty-fourth floor, and half of the yellow-vested man's body was suspended in mid-air.

As long as Chen Xiao pushed down slightly, he would fall to the ground and be smashed to pieces.

"Now you understand, only I have the right to ask questions!"

Chen Xiao said lightly, "I'm asking you, why are you harming people? Who sent you?"

"Heh heh, brat, you have no idea what kind of terrifying existence you've provoked!"

To Chen Xiao's surprise, this yellow-vested man wasn't afraid at all.

"If you know what's good for you, let me go, otherwise, you will regret your recklessness today!"

Chen Xiao frowned slightly.

"What I hate most is being threatened. Since you won't talk, then there's no point in you living!"

Chen Xiao exerted a little force on his hand. He didn't really intend to kill, he just wanted to scare the yellow-vested man.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt his hand empty.

Looking again, the yellow-vested man had somehow escaped from his grasp.

Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. "Shrinking bones technique?"

Taking advantage of his stunned moment, the yellow-vested man jumped out of the window.

Chen Xiao leaned out of the window and looked down.

He saw the yellow-vested man grabbing onto anything he could hold on to, scurrying down with great speed.

In just a few seconds, he had climbed down several floors and jumped into a window.

By the time Chen Xiao wanted to chase, he couldn't even find the man's shadow.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly. "This person's strength isn't anything special, but his Qinggong is quite excellent!"

Li Ziqing was very abnormal. For someone who had just experienced an assassination attempt, her reaction was too calm.

After a moment, Chen Xiao understood a few things and returned to Li Ziqing's side.

"You know who he is, don't you?"

Li Ziqing didn't deny it and nodded.

Chen Xiao continued, "The last time you were bitten by a poisonous snake, he was the one who did it, right?"

Li Ziqing nodded again.

Chen Xiao:

"So you knew he would come to kill you again."

"So you hid in the hospital and didn't go out."

"So you spent a high price to keep me by your side, just so that I could save your life at a critical moment, right?"

Faced with these questions, Li Ziqing still didn't deny it.

Chen Xiao stopped talking.

Li Ziqing asked, "Are you angry?"

Chen Xiao: "Why would I be angry?"

Li Ziqing: "Because I used you."

Chen Xiao sneered, "You paid money, it doesn't count as using."

Li Ziqing pouted and muttered softly, "You're still angry."

Was Chen Xiao angry? He didn't even know himself.

But he couldn't deny that today's Li Ziqing made him look at her in a new light.

He thought of the first time they met, Li Ziqing's pitiful and helpless look.

But now, looking back, it was probably from that time on that she had already planned to use Chen Xiao.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao felt that this was a very scheming woman.

Anyone who thought her heart was as delicate as her appearance was a fool.

Chen Xiao was a fool.

Because he had to admit that everything he had done for Li Ziqing.

Was all because of their first meeting.

This woman used her weakness and helplessness to make him feel a strong desire to protect her.

The two were silent for a long time, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

Finally, Li Ziqing broke the silence.

"I'm sorry, I admit I used you. That person is a killer sent by the Liu Sect…"

Chen Xiao waved his hand to interrupt her.

"You don't need to say anything, I don't want to hear about your affairs, and I don't want to continue to be involved."

Li Ziqing gave a faint oh, and after a while, she spoke again.

"But you've already been dragged in. You've offended the Liu Sect's killer, and they won't let it go."

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows. "You think I'm afraid of them?"

Li Ziqing muttered softly again, sounding aggrieved.

"You're not afraid, but I am…"

Chen Xiao looked away.

Because he found that his damn desire to protect her was starting to stir again.

But some things can't be stopped.

Chen Xiao sighed, fine.

He held out a finger.

"Ten million a month, and I can keep you safe."

Li Ziqing's eyes lit up, extremely surprised.

"Really? Can you guarantee that I won't be killed by them?"

Compared to her life, ten million was nothing.

Chen Xiao snorted. "A mere ten million wouldn't be enough to get my guarantee!"
