Chapter 166

morning hours. A luxury cruise ship appeared on the calm pier. There were many men and women gathered on the deck, and they looked tired and flustered. Seems frightened.

Just now. They witnessed a brutal killing, although they knew it was on the high seas, and killing people was not a crime. But listen to the mournful cry. I couldn't help but feel cold.

Even now, the horrific cry still lingers in their ears, and they don't know who the other party is. Who did he offend again? It is precisely because I don't know anything that I feel more and more fear in my heart.

As the cruise ship docked at the pier, the guests disembarked one after another, and they left as quickly as possible. No, it is more appropriate to use the word escape.

It won't take half an hour. The bustling cruise ship is already empty. It gives people a sense of withering that washes away the prosperity.

Xi Shiche's tall and lonely figure seemed to merge with this silent scene, like the inexplicable coldness of a declining nobleman in the seventeenth century. She couldn't help speeding up her pace, walking beside him, walking side by side with him.

After getting off the cruise ship, Gui Wu, who was leaning against the car, dropped the cigarette he just lit, and walked over quickly, "Fourth master, madam."

There was a faint smile on his face, but when he touched Xi Shiche's expressionless face and Cheng Ling's cautious expression, he knew something was wrong.

"Madam, is the banquet still fun? Have you met Young Master Ling?"

Ghost Five knew that Xi Shiche specially brought Cheng Ling here this time in order to introduce Cheng Ling to Young Master Ling.

Young Master Ling will take care of fourth master's woman!

Cheng Ling's face froze, and Gui Wu felt that the air around him seemed to condense. He knew he asked a question that shouldn't be asked, touched his nose, and quickly slipped into the car.

Inside the carriage, the air was condensed, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy. Ghost Five was thinking about whether to turn on some music to ease the atmosphere, but he was afraid that even a slight move would become cannon fodder.

At this time, Xi Shiche's cell phone rang, and the loud ringtone successfully relieved the heavy atmosphere.

After a few minutes of talking on the phone, it ended with Xi Shiche's hum.

Cheng Ling looked around secretly for a moment, and found that after Xi Shiche answered the call, his aura also changed.

Perhaps because he couldn't bear the weird atmosphere, Gui Wu drove the car very fast, and returned to Xi's house in less than 20 minutes.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when they returned to Xi's house, but when they opened the door and entered, the old butler was not asleep, as if he knew they would come back, and kept guarding in the hall.

"Master Xi, madam!"

The old butler looked back and forth between Xi Shiche and Cheng Ling, and found that their expressions were indeed a bit weird, completely different from when they went. No wonder Young Master Ling specially called to ask him to help, not to let Young Master Xi explode too much and bully others.

Xi Shiche took off his coat, and the old housekeeper took it. Xi Shiche didn't pause for a moment, and went straight to the stairs, but as if thinking of something, he stopped and ordered, "Let the security department strengthen the security, and the whole house is fully protected. Install surveillance cameras, keep an eye on your wife, and don't let her leave the villa."

"But, Mr. Xi, my wife still has to go to work!"

"From today, no need!"

Xi Shiche's decision is unquestionable, strong and domineering, even the old housekeeper can't help but say something nice.

Cheng Ling was not surprised at all when he heard this. He said that if he touches his bottom line, he will imprison her, Xi Shiche has never just talked about it.

The calmer Xi Shiche was, the more excessive his punishment would be. This time, in Cheng Ling's eyes, it was considered relatively light.

Moreover, she had already sold her freedom to him. During this time, it has already been earned.

The old butler wanted to say a few more words, but Cheng Ling held his hand. Cheng Ling shook his head slightly, signaling him not to continue.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the old housekeeper, he followed Xi Shiche's pace.

In the bedroom, a lamp on the bedside table was lit. The orange light was very soft. She had long been used to this brightness. She would light this lamp for Xi Shiche every night. Normally, she would fall asleep as soon as she touched the bed. , but tonight, after tossing and tossing for so long, I should be very tired, but I couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Xi Shiche was back to back with her. This night, he did not fall asleep with her in his arms as usual.

What happened tonight appeared in front of his eyes one after another, and what appeared the most were Xi Shiche's indifferent eyes.

In the past, she didn't care at all, but now, she couldn't say she didn't care.

She didn't like the look in his eyes, very much.

Cheng Ling turned around and stared at Xi Shiche's cold back. As time passed bit by bit, Cheng Ling's voice broke the silence of the night.

"Xi Shiche, are you asleep?"

In fact, it was a white question, she only spoke when she knew he was asleep.

"I want to hug you, can I? If you don't speak, I will accept it."

In the silent room, only Cheng Ling's natural self-talk remained. She stretched out her hand, passed Xi Shiche, and wrapped it around his strong waist. Her cold body was slightly close to his back, and her small face was pressed against his back. Listening to the sound of his pulse beating, I feel particularly at ease. The strange thing is that I couldn't fall asleep after trying all kinds of methods, and fell asleep within a few minutes.

I don't know if there is a feeling of worrying about gains and losses, even though he is asleep, the little hands around him are abnormally hard, as if he is afraid that he will disappear.

The pair of dark and deep eyes with their backs to Cheng Ling opened suddenly, lowered slightly, staring at the pair of white, soft but stubbornly holding his little hands, the eyes became deeper and deeper, the big hands covered her, her hands It was a little cold, Xi Shiche wanted to push away these little hands, and wanted to turn over and hug her.

However, this move of his seemed to startle her. Not only did the strength in her hands increase a lot, but her legs were like octopuses, clamping him tightly so that he could not move.

Xi Shiche helplessly touched the sheet that was kicked towards him, covered her with the quilt, and let her clamp him tightly like an octopus.

The cold night seemed to add a ray of soft light, Xi Shiche closed his eyes, and this time, he was finally able to fall asleep peacefully.

She slept very well this time. Cheng Ling was woken up by the sound of an electric drill outside the door. She opened her eyes in a daze. As always, she was alone in the bedroom. Cheng Ling habitually picked up the On the mobile phone, I checked the time, oops, I'm late.

She jumped up naturally, washed up and rushed down the stairs, seeing many unfamiliar staff in uniform in the living room, Cheng Ling woke up at this time, she no longer had to go to work.

The hand holding the bag froze, watching the staff who were busy installing surveillance cameras throughout the villa, at this moment, she truly felt that freedom was gone!
