With a clang, the short knife in Liu Ying's hand instantly fell to the ground.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, her legs weakened, and she collapsed downwards.
"You cunning bitch."
Before Lu Yushan could react and rush towards Shen Xi, the door was abruptly kicked open.
Immediately, a tall figure kicked her five meters away.
Shen Xi stared blankly at everything that was happening, and the next second, she was pulled tightly into a man's embrace.
After a while, she raised her head and finally saw the man's face.
"Mr. Qin. Why are you here?"
Qin Siye gazed at her with burning eyes, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"No," Shen Xi replied softly.
But Qin Siye immediately spotted a cut on the sleeve of her clothes and reached out to examine it.
Shen Xi quickly covered it and took a step back.
"It's just a tear in my clothes, I'm not hurt."
The man glared at her with slightly cold eyes, forcibly moved her small hand away, and only relaxed after a thorough examination.
He stood up straight, saw the short knife dropped on the ground, and exuded a chilling aura as he walked step by step towards Liu Ying.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Qin," Shen Xi suddenly called out from behind him, "You don't need to do anything, I'll handle it."
Shen Xi quickly walked forward, took a pill from her bag, and put it into Liu Ying's mouth, forcing her jaw up to swallow it.
She then removed the silver needle from Liu Ying's wrist, turned, and pulled Qin Siye's arm as she walked towards the exit.
Qin Siye paused slightly, gently took her small hand away, took off his coat, draped it over her, and bent down to pick her up.
"Hey? Mr. Qin, put me down quickly, I'm not hurt and I can walk myself," Shen Xi cried out in panic.
Hadn't this man promised to maintain boundaries with her? Why was he holding her now?
Qin Siye seemed not to hear her, his gaze fixed ahead as he strode outwards.
The black-clad men outside had already been thoroughly defeated by Qin Siye's bodyguards, groaning in pain on the ground.
The bodyguards, seeing the two of them emerge, prepared to rush inside.
Seeing this, Shen Xi quickly shouted, "Mr. Qin, can you tell your people not to go in yet?"
He looked down at her meaningfully, paused, and turned to the bodyguards with a cold voice, "Don't go in yet. Stay by the door and wait for the police."
Then, he continued forward, "Who are they? What did you give that woman just now?"
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she did not reveal the truth, but instead smiled mysteriously, "You'll know everything tomorrow."
She then struggled a few more times, "Mr. Qin, can I get down now?"
The man looked down at her with a cold face, a resolute and unyielding look in his eyes. "No."
Shen Xi stared at him blankly, wondering why he was looking at her like that.
She thought she hadn't done anything to offend him these past few days.
What was wrong with him? Had he taken the wrong medicine?
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed as if she had thought of something, and she began to pat his arm forcefully, "Mr. Qin, put me down quickly. I still have two important things in their hands."
"You don't need to worry, Zhao Ze has already retrieved your phone and that antique and brought them to the car," Qin Siye replied with utmost calmness.
An antique? How did he know that one of the items she needed to retrieve was an antique?
Did he already know she had attended the auction this morning? Where was Jian Fan? Why hadn't he come?
"Oh. Thank you!" Shen Xi replied thoughtfully, and then was carried by him into the car.
As soon as she was seated, Zhao Ze in the front handed her the phone.
"Miss Shen, your phone."
"Okay. Thank you." Shen Xi took it, and before she could even turn it on, Qin Siye crossed his legs and sat beside her, his burning gaze fixed on her with complex emotions.
Shen Xi felt a chill at his stare and instinctively moved slightly to the side. The next moment, the man reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Hey! Mr. Qin, what are you doing?" Shen Xi exclaimed in surprise, trying to push him away, but he held her even tighter.
"Don't move. I just want to hold you," Qin Siye's deep, resonant voice immediately reached her ears.
Zhao Ze in the front, who was about to start the car and leave, saw the situation and wisely opened the door and got out.
In such an intimate atmosphere, he didn't want to be a third wheel.
Want to hold her? Why? Shen Xi's heart raced, and his words completely flustered her.
