After a day of consultations, Qin Hui found his landlord and got his rent refunded. Looking at the house he had lived in for over a month, Qin Hui felt a pang of reluctance.
Qin Hui had already decided to stay at Jiang Yanxi's place. Her house was large, and besides, Qin Hui was her husband. Half of that villa was his, so even if Jiang Yanxi disagreed, it wouldn't matter.
The only advantage of living in the city was the ability to visit Sister Xue frequently. It had been a few days since he last saw her.
At seven in the evening, Qin Hui arrived at Jiang Yanxi's company.
As he walked towards the office entrance, Qin Hui saw several burly bodyguards patrolling the area.
Upon entering the office, Qin Hui also saw a tall, dark-skinned female bodyguard.
It was clear that after the incident with Zhang Ke, Jiang Yanxi was being protected.
"Let me introduce you. This is my private bodyguard, Sister Du. This is Qin Hui."
Jiang Yanxi stood up and introduced them to each other.
Qin Hui nodded slightly and shook Sister Du's hand. Feeling the strength in her grip, Qin Hui knew Sister Du was no ordinary person.
After Sister Du left the office, Qin Hui casually sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of coffee.
"What brings you here today?"
Jiang Yanxi asked, knowing that Qin Hui rarely came to her place.
"I've closed down the Chinese medicine clinic. I have no livelihood now, so I've come to freeload. You won't mind, will you?"
Qin Hui chuckled.
Jiang Yanxi frowned upon hearing this, realizing that Qin Hui intended to rely on her.
"Yanxi, I'm homeless now. I'll be living in your villa from now on, and I can protect you personally."
Qin Hui patted his chest to guarantee it. As long as they lived together, winning over Jiang Yanxi would only be a matter of time.
"No!"
As soon as she heard Qin Hui wanted to live with her, Jiang Yanxi's brows furrowed. With Qin Hui's skills, if he did something to her in the middle of the night, Jiang Yanxi might not even have a chance to resist.
Jiang Yanxi didn't want to invite trouble, and at most, she could find him another place to live.
"We're legally married. Your resistance is futile. If you don't agree, I'll call Uncle Jiang."
Qin Hui had to use his trump card, otherwise, how could he get on board this "pirate ship"?
"You!"
Jiang Yanxi pointed at Qin Hui but finally sighed in resignation.
If her father found out, he would probably nag her again.
"Alright, you win."
Jiang Yanxi tossed the spare villa key into Qin Hui's hand.
Looking at the key in his hand, Qin Hui smiled slightly. His accommodation was settled, and with him by Jiang Yanxi's side, her safety would be greatly improved.
"Oh, why don't I see your secretary?"
Qin Hui was a little surprised, as he had a good impression of Jin Yan'er.
"She took leave today. Qin Hui, I'm warning you not to have any ideas about her."
"Also, even though you're living in my villa, if you dare to bring anyone unauthorized in, don't blame me for falling out with you."
Jiang Yanxi instructed directly.
Qin Hui nodded outwardly, but in his heart, he thought, "She dares to set rules for me? I'll deal with her properly tonight."
After sorting out his own affairs, Qin Hui left Jiang Yanxi's office. With those bodyguards around, he believed the Zhang family wouldn't dare to make a move.
Qin Hui rubbed his stomach, thinking of finding a restaurant to settle his dinner. Just then, his phone rang.
He picked up the phone and answered it, as it was Jin Yan'er's call.
After the call connected, a deep voice came through.
"Qin Hui, Jin Yan'er is in my hands now. If you want to save her, come alone. I'll send you a location shortly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Hui's phone went dead.
Qin Hui recognized the voice as Chen Ming's. Chen Ming was Jin Yan'er's boyfriend; why would he target her?
It seemed Chen Ming hadn't given up on Jin Yan'er, which annoyed Qin Hui.
Only the incompetent would resort to harming women.
Although Qin Hui could have ignored this matter, Jin Yan'er was misunderstood because of him, and now her life was in danger. Qin Hui had no choice but to rescue her.
As Qin Hui pondered, his phone vibrated. Chen Ming had sent the address.
Seeing the address, Qin Hui frowned slightly but still started his car.
...
"Chen Ming, you've disappointed me so much. How could you do something like this?"
Jin Yan'er exclaimed angrily, but her hands and feet were tied, preventing her from struggling.
Looking at the pitiful Jin Yan'er, Chen Ming's vanity was immensely satisfied.
"Scream. Do you really think Qin Hui will come to save you?"
"This is an underground reservoir. The water level is at least fifty meters deep. Even if a few people drowned, no one could save them."
Chen Ming said with a smug look.
Ever since the last incident, Chen Ming had been plotting to deal with Jin Yan'er.
To get Jin Yan'er out, Chen Ming had racked his brains and finally succeeded.
"Chen Ming, it's not too late for you to regret it. Do you know what you're doing?"
Jin Yan'er was a little scared and deeply regretted believing Chen Ming's lies, otherwise, she wouldn't have been tricked into coming here.
Most importantly, she didn't want to implicate Qin Hui.
"What am I doing? Of course, I know what I'm doing!"
"Jin Yan'er, four years of university. I pursued you for four whole years, but what did you do to me?"
"Today, I'll make you realize my power. Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me."
Chen Ming revealed a sinister smile. It was clear that this kind of twisted love, taken to its extreme, became extreme hatred.
"There are ten minutes left. If Qin Hui doesn't show up in ten minutes, I'll have to deal with you personally."
Chen Ming's eyes showed a greedy look. He had pursued this woman for four years in college and never had her. Today, he was determined to have her.
Not only that, but Chen Ming had also set up a camera nearby. He wanted to film everything, ensuring Jin Yan'er could never escape his grasp.
Seeing the frenzied Chen Ming, Jin Yan'er's face turned pale. She was terrified. She hoped Qin Hui would come to save her, but she also wished he wouldn't, because she didn't want to implicate him.
Time slowly ticked by, and the water level in the reservoir gradually rose, emitting a chilling aura. Even a seasoned swimmer would have no chance of survival if they fell in.
Chen Ming's idea was simple: kill Qin Hui and let Jin Yan'er know the consequences of betraying him.
Once a person goes mad, there is no hope of stopping.
Ding!
Chen Ming's watch beeped. Ten minutes had passed, but there was no sign of anyone around.
