Shen Tingxi's long legs stepped over the door that had fallen to the ground and came to the living room. His hawk-like sharp eyes searched around, but he didn't see anyone. Finally, his eyes fell on the tightly shut door. He paused for a moment, then lifted his feet and walked over.
Hu Xin 'er heard the footsteps coming closer and closer outside the door. The heavy sound of his footsteps felt like he was stepping on her heart. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
Shen Tingxi stopped at the door and said to the room through the door, "I know you're in there. Come out."
Hu Xin 'er knew that if she didn't speak, she would anger Shen Tingxi even more. She could only think of a way to stall him and wait for Shen Jiuyan to save her. "Tingxi … Why are you looking for me?"
Shen Tingxi put his hands in his pockets, his handsome face sinister. The more Hu Xin 'er avoided him, the more guilty she felt. Shen Tingxi kept imagining the scene of Mu Ning Jing being slapped by Hu Xin' er.
He didn't even have enough time to protect and love Mu Ning Jing, but Hu Xin 'er dared to hit her!
On top of that, Shen Tingxi was so protective of Hu Xin 'er. A murderous look flashed across his eyes. He hadn't dealt with Hu Xin' er all this time. On one hand, she didn't cause trouble. On the other hand, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with Shen Jiuyan. But today …
Shen Tingxi took out his phone and dialed Dong Zai's number. "I'm at Hu Xin 'er's place. The old man must be on his way here. Think of a way to stall him."
Dong Zai sounded troubled. "Young Master, how can I stall Jiu Ye?"
"If soft methods don't work, lie. If lying doesn't work, use hard methods."
"What if hard methods don't work?" Dong Zai asked carefully.
"Be careful of your head." Shen Tingxi said coldly and hung up the phone. Then, he turned it off in case the old man called later.
Shen Tingxi's tall body leaned against the door frame. He took out a cigarette box, lit a cigarette, and started to smoke unhurriedly. "No one can save you tonight. Come out obediently. Don't make me move my feet again, or else …"
Shen Tingxi slowly exhaled a smoke ring. His words were unusually cold. "I can't guarantee that I'll leave your corpse intact."
Hu Xin 'er instantly recalled what she had heard from the people around Shen Tingxi. They had said that Shen Tingxi was ruthless, cold-blooded, and could kill without spilling blood. Their faces had changed at the mention of it. If they were in awe of Shen Tingxi, then they were completely afraid of Shen Tingxi. They did not dare to have the slightest fear of disloyalty.
Hu Xin 'er trembled all over. Her hand that was holding the fruit knife was covered in sweat, and her nerves were extremely tense. The door was not as soundproof as the security door at the entrance. She had heard everything that Shen Tingxi had said on the phone just now. He had asked someone to stop Shen Jiuyan.
No one would come to save her. What should she do?
Was she going to die in the hands of Shen Tingxi tonight?
Hu Xin 'er shook her head with a pale face. No, she was still young. She didn't want to die, but what should she do?
Other than Shen Jiuyan, no one else could control Shen Tingxi …
An idea flashed through Hu Xin 'er's mind. Perhaps there was someone else who could save her.
She entered WeChat with trembling hands and found Mu Ning Jing's WeChat. Her fingers trembled as she typed on the keyboard.
She typed the pinyin wrong several times.
She spoke to the man outside the door to stall for time. "Tingxi … even if I die … you should accuse me of something … I don't want to die without knowing why …"
She typed a line of words on the keyboard with trembling fingers: Shen Tingxi wants to kill me. Save me.
"Accuse me of something?" Shen Tingxi curled his lips coldly. After taking two puffs of his cigarette, he said, "You don't know your place. This alone is enough for you to die countless times."
Hu Xin 'er sent her location to Mu Ning Jing as she said, "I'm a prostitute. I know my lowly status … I've never thought of replacing your mother as Mrs. Shen … I was fated to save Mr. Jiu's life … Mr. Jiu is a sentimental and righteous person … Just treat it as if you're raising an extra cat … Pity me …"
"Open the door!" Shen Tingxi interrupted Hu Xin 'er impatiently.
Shen Tingxi's words were so cold that Hu Xin 'er couldn't help but shiver. Her red lips trembled as she said, "Tingxi … let me go … I beg you … on account of me saving Mr. Jiu's life … let me go …"
Shen Tingxi removed the cigarette from the corner of his mouth. His deep and sharp facial features were shrouded in the smoke, making him look even more gloomy and frightening. He frowned slightly, and his voice was faint, but it imperceptibly emitted a suffocating pressure. "I'll count to three. If you don't open the door, you'll have to bear the consequences.
"Tingxi … I beg you … let me go …"
"Two …"
"I … I just took a shower … I only have a towel on me … Wait … Wait a minute … I'll open the door immediately after I change …"
Shen Tingxi's expression froze for a moment, then his lips curled into a faint sneer. He felt that Hu Xin 'er was like a fox that was struggling in the palm of his hand. No matter how cunning she was, as long as he was ruthless enough and didn't let go of her neck, she wouldn't be able to escape from his grasp. "I'll give you two minutes."
Hu Xin 'er scampered into the walk-in closet in the bedroom. As she ran, she dialed Mu Ning Jing's number. She hid in the closet, trembling. She grabbed a piece of clothing and bit it in her mouth so that she wouldn't cry out of fear.
Hu Xin 'er's phone rang for a few seconds, but she felt like it was as long as a century. It was as if there were countless large hands trying to strangle her. She had never been so terrified before. It was as if the aura of death was lingering around her.
Hu Xin 'er felt that Shen Tingxi was like a demon from hell. Even though she couldn't see him, the aura he exuded and the way he spoke gave her an invisible sense of oppression and fear. It was even more frightening than those vicious villains.
His aura could seep into a person's bones and make them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
When the call went through, Hu Xin 'er removed the piece of clothing from her mouth and cried out to Mu Ning Jing as if she was grasping at straws. "Save me … Please save me … Shen Tingxi wants to kill me …"
"Tingxi's phone is off. I can't get through." Mu Ning Jing's soft and urgent voice came through.
Off?
He actually turned off his phone?
It seemed like he was determined to kill her tonight.
Hu Xin 'er was so scared that she started crying. The fear in her heart turned into tears and flowed out. However, she was afraid that Shen Tingxi would find out, so she suppressed her emotions and didn't dare to make a single sound. She just cried loudly in her chest and choked in her throat. "Please save me … He's right outside my room … In two minutes … No, one minute … In one minute, he'll come in and kill me …"
Hu Xin 'er's mind was in a mess. She was completely dominated by fear and couldn't speak coherently. "I don't want to die … I don't want to die … What should I do … Call the police … Yes, I can call the police … Boohoo … But it's too late … Only one minute … It's too late … Boohoo …"
