Chapter 84: Murderous Ambush
“You’re welcome, County Head Mr. Wei. When my restaurant opens, it would be best if you and Madam can come visit.” Xu Qing smiled. Since there was such an opportunity to promote it, she would seize it.
“Of course I have to go.” Wei Bo’an also wanted to befriend this doctor. Even though she knew that he was an official, she didn’t take advantage of him. She was neither anxious nor impatient, and there was no flattery in her eyes. This caught Wei Bo’an’s attention, and he finally decided. “If you don’t mind, you can call me big brother in the future!”
Xu Qing was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted. “Of course I don’t mind, Brother Wei!”
After saying goodbye to Wei Bo’an, Xu Qing looked at the moonlight outside and suddenly looked at Qiao Yanhui. “I’ve been practicing my lightweight technique for a while. Let’s compete and see who gets home first.”
Qiao Yanhui naturally agreed. He never refused Xu Qing’s requests.
However, not long after Xu Qing set off, she lost her balance and fell. However, Qiao Yanhui quickly hugged Xu Qing.
Xu Qing smiled and hugged Qiao Yanhui’s neck. “I knew you would catch me.”
Qiao Yanhui’s eyes were filled with gentleness. The moonlight shone on him, making him look even more gentle. Xu Qing was mesmerized.
Xu Qing couldn’t help but approach Qiao Yanhui. Just as the atmosphere between the two of them became more and more romantic, Qiao Yanhui’s gaze suddenly changed and killing intent appeared. He let go and let Xu Qing down.
Xu Qing was stunned. “What’s wrong?”
“Someone’s here!” Qiao Yanhui’s voice was filled with anger. He was very dissatisfied that the romantic vibe had been ruined. He and his wife were about to kiss just now. This person was really annoying!
“Who is it?” Xu Qing looked around and asked instinctively.
“There’s killing intent.” Qiao Yanhui relied on his instincts to judge.
Xu Qing was shocked. Why was there killing intent? They hadn’t offended anyone, right? Moreover, even if Babe Sunshine had offended someone, that was with Bei Shu’s identity. Xu Qing looked down. She had actually forgotten to change her clothes!
She was dressed like Bei Shu now. Nothing had happened to Babe Sunshine recently, so Xu Qing thought that this matter was over. She didn’t expect that the other party wouldn’t let her off.
“Little Hui, let’s go.” Xu Qing pulled Qiao Yanhui away nervously. She didn’t know how strong Qiao Yanhui was, but no matter what, she couldn’t let him take the risk.
Qiao Yanhui turned around and saw the uneasiness in Xu Qing’s eyes. He nodded. “Let’s go!”
However, the other party had clearly come prepared. How could they let them off?
A long sword struck at Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui. Qiao Yanhui subconsciously wanted to retaliate, but for some reason, he actually had a headache at this moment, as if some fragmented memory had flashed past his mind. He did know martial arts, but his memories were incomplete and his martial arts skills were ordinary. Now that he was carrying Xu Qing, he could only dodge the other party’s attack in a sorry state.
“Honey, run first. I’ll hold them back!” Qiao Yanhui shouted at Xu Qing. However, there were many people on the other side, and Qiao Yanhui’s memory was incomplete. His head still ached, so he was forced to retreat.
“Why should I run?!” How could Xu Qing abandon him? She threw out the silver needles in her hand. However, she didn’t use enough strength and was too far away. The silver needles pricked the other party and fell. It was unknown if they pierced the other party.
That person’s gaze turned cold and he swung his sword at Xu Qing. Qiao Yanhui was anxious and ran towards Xu Qing with bloodshot eyes. At this moment, Xu Qing was so frightened that her face was pale. This was the first time she had faced death. She had no time to escape. Just as the other party was about to stab her, she suddenly saw that person fall to the ground with a bang and foam came out of his mouth. He was poisoned from Xu Qing’s silver needles.
Xu Qing looked at the dead man on the ground with shock in her eyes. She had almost died just now…
At this moment, Qiao Yanhui ran towards Xu Qing without any care and shielded her in his arms, allowing the assassin to slash his hand and back. Qiao Yanhui gritted his teeth and endured it. Even so, he didn’t let go of Xu Qing.
“Little Hui!” Xu Qing touched the sticky blood on Qiao Yanhui’s body and her heart thumped.
“I’m fine, honey.” Qiao Yanhui tried his best to smile.
Xu Qing’s eyes were red as she gritted her teeth. “You guys forced me!” As she spoke, she kissed Qiao Yanhui’s lips and scattered the medicinal powder in her hand.
The killers felt that something was wrong and hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, but they still fell down. They were bleeding from their seven orifices, and the looks on their faces were distorted when they died.
