The Late Prince
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning tightened her grip on her phone.
She originally wanted to embarrass Joe Qiao, but she didn't expect that it would become a fatal piece of evidence. What did it mean to go for wool and come home shorn? This was it!
Qiao Qiao's eyes moved to Xiao Ning's hand. She wanted to snatch the phone from her hand, but Xiao Ning held it tightly.
Qiao Qiao frowned and pressed the shard against her neck. She warned coldly, "Don't force me to use force."
Xiao Ning was so scared that she could only let go.
"Sister Xiao Ning, don't be afraid. I've already called my brothers over. This woman won't be able to escape!" Sun Wei said in an untimely manner.
The moment he spoke, Xiao Ning's expression changed.
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Even if he wanted to send her a witness, he didn't need to be in such a hurry, right?
Although it was not a bad thing for her to have more people, it also increased the uncertainty, which would have a certain impact on her escape. Qiao Qiao weighed the pros and cons and still felt that she could not stay here for long.
Xiao Ning seized the moment when Qiao Qiao hesitated. She was sure that Qiao Qiao wouldn't dare to do anything to her. She made up her mind and grabbed Qiao Qiao's wrist, which was badly bruised by the rope.
Qiao Qiao was shocked.
A sharp pain came from her wrist. She couldn't help but frown, but she didn't dare to hurt Xiao Ning and cause her death. One was hesitant, while the other was reckless. It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
The glass shards in Qiao Qiao's hand were knocked away, and the phone was also thrown to the side. Xiao Ning kicked it to the corner of the wall.
During the argument, Qiao Qiao accidentally cut her arm. The wound was quite deep. She only felt a warm liquid slowly slide down her arm and quickly dyed her sleeve red.
The pain made her suck in a cold breath. Fortunately, the reagent bottle she broke wasn't used to store concentrated acid, but an empty reagent bottle. Otherwise, this wouldn't be a joke.
After Xiao Ning escaped, she hurriedly ran behind Sun Wei. Then, she sneered at Qiao Qiao proudly and crazily. "Joe Qiao, now the tables have turned again. When my underlings arrive later, you'll be waiting for a group PK!"
"Heh, looks like you really hate me to the core," Qiao Qiao quietly moved back and glanced at the shelves behind her from the corner of her eyes.
As she dealt with Xiao Ning, she slowly moved her hand behind her and grabbed the ether reagent bottle that she had placed there beforehand.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the warehouse. Soon, the door of the warehouse was opened and five or six people rushed in.
"Sister Xiao Ning, we're here!"
Before these people could finish speaking, Qiao Qiao's gaze sharpened. Taking advantage of the time when everyone's attention was diverted, she fiercely threw the reagent bottle in her hand onto the ground. The liquid inside spilled all over the ground, and a pungent smell quickly spread through the air.
"Joe Qiao, what are you doing?" Xiao Ning was shocked. The pungent smell quickly entered her nose and made Xiao Ning's toes go weak.
The warehouse wasn't big, but six or seven people had fainted. The inside was also filled with the pungent smell of ether. In order to speed up the anesthetic effect, Qiao Qiao deliberately threw a reagent with a catalytic effect to speed up the diffusion of ether.
The effect wasn't bad. The hooligans who had rushed over had their blood flow accelerated because of the intense exercise, and the ether they inhaled quickly took effect.
Xiao Ning and Sun Wei hurriedly tried to grab her, but their bodies were weak. Compared to Qiao Qiao, who was holding her breath, they were like weak children.
They staggered in place for about a minute before they fainted.
Qiao Qiao didn't dare to breathe. Her small face was red. She picked up the phone in the corner and walked out.
When she pushed open the door of the warehouse, she began to take deep breaths of fresh air. Now, there were two options. The first was to call the police and let them get involved in this matter, but the biggest uncertainty was Xiao Ning's father, the deputy director.
The second was to discuss it with He Shaochen, but to what extent he could help her, Qiao Qiao wasn't sure.
She had always heard people talk about how great He Shaochen was and how powerful he was, but Qiao Qiao had never felt it was real. The most shocking thing was when he defeated Liang Shao, but Liang Shao was just the son of a businessman, and Xiao Ning's father was a high-ranking official!
Businessmen didn't fight with officials. This was a wise saying since ancient times.
Both had their pros and cons. While Qiao Qiao was struggling, the sound of police sirens pierced the sky and came closer. A few seconds later, dazzling white lights shone on the warehouse, stinging Qiao Qiao's eyes.
She couldn't help but turn her face away and use her hands to block the dazzling lights. Before she could react to what was happening, several helicopters flew over quickly and surrounded the small warehouse.
One by one, the police officers descended from the sky, wearing bulletproof vests and holding guns in their hands. They surrounded the small warehouse.
What the hell was going on?
Were there terrorists here? This thought flashed through Qiao Qiao's mind.
After her eyes adjusted to the light, Qiao Qiao tried to turn around to see what was going on, but she saw a tall figure walking towards her.
In just one or two seconds, Qiao Qiao was pulled into a warm embrace.
"Qiao Qiao, can you not make people worry!"
He Shaochen's angry voice sounded above her head. His voice was obviously angry, but Qiao Qiao was sensitive enough to detect a slight tremor in his voice.
She closed her eyes and felt the familiar breath. The warm touch made her tense nerves immediately relax. After a moment of silence, she opened her eyes and looked up at He Shaochen's angry face.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she actually saw fear in those angry eyes.
Fear?
Was he afraid that she would have an accident?
She suddenly felt guilty. She pursed her lips and apologized in a low voice like a primary school student who had made a mistake. "He Shaochen, I'm sorry to have made you worry."
He Shaochen, however, rudely pressed her head against his chest again. His arms around her tightened, as if she would disappear again if he didn't do so.
"Why are you apologizing?" He Shaochen's angry voice sounded above her head.
Why was she apologizing?
Because she had made him worry. If she hadn't been careless, Xiao Ning and her gang wouldn't have succeeded …
When she thought of this, she felt a little dizzy. It was probably the effect of the ether. After all, there was a big difference between holding one's breath and wearing a gas mask.
She leaned all her weight on He Shaochen's body. Her eyelids drooped and she said weakly, "Sorry, I'll be careful next time."
"…"
He Shaochen didn't continue to scold her. He just hugged her tightly, very tightly.
After a while, he murmured in a weak voice, "Sorry, I'm late, sorry, sorry …"
