Chapter 105 - 106: Sense of Security (4)
Lou Xi couldn’t believe Qin Mobai just let those people go like that, but then she heard Lu Li say, "Don’t worry, Young Master Qin definitely won’t let those people off just like that."
Earlier, Qin Mobai did say to let them leave this place safely, but once they leave, whether they will still be safe depends on their fate.
No one knows Qin Mobai better than Lu Li.
Lou Xi still didn’t understand, and just as she was about to ask, Qin Mobai spoke, "We’ll talk about it when we get back."
Seeing Qin Mobai speaking up, Lu Li knew he didn’t want to share too many details with Lou Xi, and after thinking carefully, realized Qin Mobai really had a special feeling for Lou Xi.
He’s willing to risk his life, yet doesn’t want to show her the cruelty of this world; it seems Qin Mobai has truly developed feelings.
"Just now, were you scared?" Qin Mobai held Lou Xi’s shoulders, drawing her into his embrace.
Previously, it wasn’t too bad, but after Qin Mobai said that, Lou Xi recalled the night’s ordeal, and all her grievances welled up, especially since she had been beaten by those people earlier. She almost placed all her strength on Qin Mobai.
Even if Lou Xi didn’t speak, Qin Mobai knew she was genuinely terrified earlier, and the force he used to hold her tightened.
"It’s okay, let’s get in the car, we’ll go home." Qin Mobai whispered.
He then took Lou Xi to the car, fastened her seatbelt, and closed the car door.
He walked over to Lu Li, his demeanor no longer the gentle one he showed Lou Xi, but extremely ominous, saying, "None of those who harmed her tonight will be spared."
Lu Li inexplicably felt a chill down his spine, was Qin Mobai... planning a massacre?
"Alright, I’ll handle it, and I’ll make sure you’re satisfied," Lu Li said with an OK gesture.
Qin Mobai nodded faintly, then walked to the driver’s seat.
Then, he drove away.
After the car drove off, it took Lu Li two seconds to realize it, Qin Mobai just left him here!
How! Did! He! Leave!
...
The car headed towards Qin Mobai’s place, even though it was late summer, early autumn, Lou Xi still felt cold, so Qin Mobai turned on the heater.
"Lou Xi, it’s all over. I’m here with you now, aren’t I? Don’t be afraid, you won’t encounter such things again." Qin Mobai freed one hand to gently rub Lou Xi’s head.
She seemed like a startled little rabbit, sitting in the passenger seat, and all her warmth seemed to come from Qin Mobai’s hand.
"Young Master Qin..." Lou Xi spoke, her voice trembling, "Tonight... there was someone knocking on my apartment door, I was so scared... I called you, but you didn’t answer, so I called the police..."
Listening to Lou Xi’s words, it turned out that before the kidnapping, such a thing happened.
His brows furrowed even tighter.
If he had answered Lou Xi’s call at the beginning, none of this would have happened, he regretted it.
"Just now those people took me to an old factory... I kept feeling... like it has happened before... Young Master Qin, I’m really scared." Lou Xi’s tears fell in large drops.
"Silly girl, don’t overthink it. Later, go home, take a shower, sleep well, and this thing will pass, okay?"
Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai, actually it was because Qin Mobai came that she felt truly safe, and that’s why she could relax and let her emotions flow.
"Young Master Qin, thank you for coming to save me."
Qin Mobai’s cold face was full of deep emotions, he said solemnly, "I won’t let such a thing happen again."
Absolutely not.
