124: C124 On a Rainy Night

C124 On a Rainy Night

The tasks given to him by the Qi's were unimportant. It didn't matter even if the job was ruined.

But why did Qi Hanyi take this step?

Perhaps he guessed wrong?

While Qi Jincheng was deep in thought, he noticed Su Xiaoxiao walk down from the bed. She walked around the room once and stopped in another electric socket.

She bent over and knocked on the top with her hands. She even narrowed her eyes and looked inside.

"What are you doing?"

Qi Jincheng was attracted by her.

Su Xiaoxiao laughed foolishly and said, "Xiaoxiao is thinking, this place is the same as that place. Why is there no monster here?"

Su Xiaoxiao's thoughts were simple and the question she asked was also the simplest question.

But for people on the level of Qi Jincheng and Du Ziming, it was indeed very difficult to think of a problem.

Why was there one here alone?

There were no other places.

Qi Jincheng thought for a moment and sat down on the sofa. He first pretended to lower his head and play with his phone. Then he turned around and looked at the position where the pinhole camera had been installed. He could only see his neck.

Then he switched to the computer.

What was different from what he thought was that because his body was blocked, he could not see the content on the computer. This directly eliminated his previous guess.

Qi Jincheng leaned against the wall as he fought. His gaze searched and observed the room.

After a long time, he seemed to have an idea. "This place can see most of the places in the house. The blind spots are the least. The other party wants to use it to determine if there are people in the house."

Du Ziming's brain worked very fast. He immediately asked, "Jincheng, what important things did you bring this time?"

He felt that the target was something on him.

Or more accurately, it was something he had brought over but did not put on him.

Qi Jincheng opened the suitcase and found that it was all prepared by Mrs Wu for the two of them. They had changed their clothes and some medicine that he often ate.

When they saw the medicine, the two of them looked at each other.

They had a tacit understanding.

...

In the middle of the night, there was a rumbling sound and a muffled thunder came from outside.

Qi Jincheng was awakened by the sound of thunder.

There was a moment of absent-mindedness in his long and narrow eyes, and then he gradually woke up. He let out a breath, reached out his hand to touch the place beside him, and found that Su Xiaoxiao had disappeared.

The temperature in his hand was cold, which meant that Su Xiaoxiao did not leave immediately. She had disappeared for a period of time.

He looked up at the window and saw that it was dark outside and he could not see anything.

Qi Jincheng got off the bed. His face did not look good.

Just as he was about to go out to look for Su Xiaoxiao, he heard some movement in the bathroom.

His footsteps paused and he turned around to walk to the bathroom.

The bathroom door was wide open, and it was pitch black inside. No one turned on the lights, so Qi Jincheng did not pay attention to it at first.

Qi Jincheng reached out and turned on the lights in the bathroom. The bathroom immediately lit up.

He saw Su Xiaoxiao hiding in the corner.

She sat in the corner, leaning against the wall behind her. Her hands were hugging her legs, and her knees were against her chest.

Most importantly, her eyes were tightly shut, as if she had not woken up.

Sleep?

"Su Xiaoxiao?"

Qi Jincheng tried to call her, but Su Xiaoxiao did not answer. She maintained her posture.

He walked over and squatted in front of Su Xiaoxiao. He saw that although she was sleeping, her body could not help but tremble. The expression on her face was slightly twisted, as if she was in shock.

He gently pushed Su Xiaoxiao and saw that she did not wake up.

Qi Jincheng could only open his hands and prepare to carry Su Xiaoxiao back to the bed.

At this moment, another thunderous sound came from outside. The sound was loud and Su Xiaoxiao's entire body trembled. Her body could not help but lean back.

So it was because she was afraid of lightning!

The muffled thunder outside had already sounded a few times. It seemed that from the first sound, it began. Su Xiaoxiao heard the sound, even though she was asleep. She could not avoid the instinctive reaction and natural fear of her body. She hid in a small bathroom.

Both of her hands exerted force and hugged her.

After their bodies made contact, Qi Jincheng could clearly feel the degree of trembling in her body.

Qi Jincheng lowered his eyes, and his heart also began to hurt.

After he hugged Su Xiaoxiao tightly, Su Xiaoxiao instinctively resisted because of fear. Even her fingers tightly grabbed his arm. Sharp nails pierced through the skin and flesh, and the wound was burning with pain.

"I'm not afraid..."

Qi Jincheng lightly patted her back until Su Xiaoxiao heard his voice and gradually calmed down. Only then did her body relax a little.

Qi Jincheng exerted strength in his hands and lifted her up horizontally. He strode out of the bathroom and put her on the bed.

Because all of his attention was on Su Xiaoxiao, Qi Jincheng did not notice that after lifting Su Xiaoxiao up, her hands were at places that he did not notice. She quietly threw some things into a hidden place.

The moment the things landed, a muffled thunder sounded outside the window and covered everything.

For the whole night, Qi Jincheng stayed by Su Xiaoxiao's side until the heavy rain fell and the muffled thunder stopped. Only then did Su Xiaoxiao fall into a stable sleep.

It was only when the sky was about to brighten that he took a short rest.

The rain fell all night until four o'clock in the morning before it gradually calmed down.

The autumn rain was cool, and it rained all night. When he woke up early in the morning, the air was very emotional. The air was filled with the smell of dust, and it was refreshing and pleasant.

Su Xiaoxiao was woken up by the cold after seven o'clock.

She opened her eyes in a daze and just as she sat up, the person beside her reached out and grabbed her.1

Su Xiaoxiao was startled and immediately half of her sleepiness woke up.

Qi Jincheng opened his eyes. That pair of long and narrow eyes first met Su Xiaoxiao's eyes for a while before they seemed to wake up a little. But his hands did not immediately let go.

"Where are you going?"

Su Xiaoxiao pointed in the direction of the bathroom and said shyly, "Beautiful brother, Xiaoxiao can't hold it anymore and want to pee..."

Usually she would sleep till 8 or 9 PM but today she woke up at 7 PM and still need to get off the bed.

Other than this reason, she could not think of any other suitable reason.

Qi Jincheng was stunned for a moment. Then, he turned his head awkwardly and let go of his hand.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately passed him, put on her slippers, and jogged into the bathroom.

This time, she closed the door and sat on the toilet bowl.

In the bathroom, Su Xiaoxiao carefully looked around. When she saw that Qi Jincheng had no intention of coming over, she knelt on the ground. From a hidden corner, she found the broken pieces of her bracelet bit by bit. Then, she carefully pieced them together and put them on her wrist.

After doing all of this, she took a deep breath.

Last night, while Qi Jincheng was sleeping, she ran to the bathroom alone to search for information about Huang Jiaming.

Who knew that Qi Jincheng would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and find that she had disappeared.
