"Or do you have some trap waiting for me?"

He obviously didn't believe that Shen Rao would hand over Shen so easily, not to mention that this matter was not that simple.

Shen Rao was already beginning to get impatient, and his steady voice began to sound a little hurried.

"If you let her go, I'll be your hostage."

The young man looked at Qi Yan and exclaimed: "You are really charming."

Qi Yan winked at Shen Rao, but he didn't feel anything at all.

"But what can we do? It would be better if you all died."

Suddenly, the black muzzle of a gun was pointed at Shen Rao. His brows were furrowed, his jaw line was tense, and veins were bulging.

The young man did not rush to shoot, probably because he thought he had won, so he walked around and started muttering.

"Shen Rao, Shen Rao, how come you have such a good life? You are the eldest grandson of the Shen family, you are the center of attention, you have everything you want, and I am also a child of the Shen family, but I have been living outside since I was a child, and I can only rely on myself to climb up step by step."

He suddenly revealed this shocking secret, which startled both of them.

The young man was satisfied with their reaction and pointed the gun at Shen Rao's eyebrows again.

"Are you surprised? The Shen family has a child who is living outside. If you die, everything you have will naturally be mine."

"Instead of giving the Shen family to a fool like you who is willing to die for a woman, it is better to give it to me."

"So Shen Rao, you die."

'boom--'

A gunshot was heard, and the dust in the air seemed to stop. Then a scream of pain was heard, and Shen Rao turned his head in a daze.

Qi Yan, who was originally tied up, weak, pitiful and helpless, held a micro pistol in one hand and tore off the tape on his mouth with the other.

The voice was cold and heartless: "It's so noisy."

She ignored the stunned Shen Rao and walked over to the young man who was holding his bleeding wrist and trying desperately to reach the flying pistol.

She stepped directly on his wrist, ignoring his piercing screams, pulled out a piece of A4 paper from her coat, and read out the name on the last line.

"Shen Cheng, it's you."

She shoved the list into Shen Cheng's face, but he was so dazzled by the pain that he could only barely make out a few words. It was not until he saw 'Wenser' next to him that his pupils trembled and he no longer cared about the pain. He looked in horror at the woman in front of him who was as cold as an executioner.

"you……"

Qi Yan didn't have time to listen to his nonsense. He twisted his wrist hard with his foot, and blood gushed out.

"Ah - I am, I am Shen Cheng!"

Shen Cheng was in so much pain that his entire body was covered in cold sweat, dust and blood. He looked miserable and no longer as glorious as when he first came.

She withdrew her foot only after hearing the definite answer, nodded, and turned to walk towards the dazed Shen Rao.

Those eyes, like an ancient well, seemed to suck him in. The familiar cold fragrance mixed with the moisture of rain came to his face. The soft hands with thin calluses gently covered his eyes.

Suddenly, everything in front of my eyes went dark, and a soothing voice rang in my ears.

"Be good, don't look."

'boom--'

The air returned to silence again.

When he opened his eyes again, Shen Rao's vision was mostly blocked by her. He could only see a lifeless hand on the ground, just a few centimeters away from the gun not far away.

To prevent him from looking around, Qi Yan raised her hand and turned his face so that he could look directly at her. He seemed to be falling into those calm and clear eyes again.

At this time, sirens sounded outside. Shen Rao reacted suddenly and pulled Qi Yan to the back.

She was a little confused, "What's wrong?"

"The police are here, you can't stay here."

"There are people I arranged behind..."

Qi Yan made a gesture to keep quiet and looked at the policemen who were entering the door one after another.

"It's too late."

She smiled at Shen Rao, but he couldn't smile at all.

He held her wrist tightly, unwilling to let go.

……

After Shen Rao finished recording the statement, he sat in the lobby of the police station, holding his cell phone and trying to contact someone. Just when he was feeling anxious, depressed, and having difficulty breathing.

Qi Yan came out of the interrogation room upstairs, chatting and laughing with others, not like a suspect at all, and waited for them to finish talking.

She walked towards Shen Rao and stopped in front of him. The moisture from the rain on her body had already dried, leaving only the cool fragrance that belonged only to her.

It's like a pine forest after snow, with the biting cold wind carrying the quiet pine scent lingering around your nose.

Qi Yan put his hands in his pockets and looked down at him.

"Let's go."

Shen Rao came out of the police station and got into Qi Yan's car, still feeling dazed. He didn't even have time to ask where this black BMW came from, because something else was even more shocking.

"How did you..."

How come he came out like nothing happened?

His mind was a little confused, and he even felt that everything that happened today was an illusion.

Qi Yan knew what he was going to ask. She glanced at his purple lips from the cold and turned up the air conditioner temperature.

Shen Rao was immersed in shock and didn't notice her actions.

"Because I did not break any law or discipline, I just shot and killed the criminal in legitimate defense."

They were the ones who almost died today. Shen Cheng was a ruthless man who didn't talk much. After killing Shen Rao, he would shoot her immediately.

"But……"

Shen Rao's thoughts became more confused, and he turned to look at her: "Are you a police officer?"

She shook her head. "Not really."

It's not 'no', it's 'doesn't count'.

Qi Yan turned the steering wheel and looked at the road ahead.

"I can't tell you more. This matter is over. Go home and have a good sleep."

"..."

Shen Rao was very well behaved this time. He lowered his head and let his soft hair cover his eyebrows. It was unknown what he was thinking.

The two of them spent the rest of the time in silence.

It was not until the car stopped in front of the duplex villa that Shen Rao had visited last time that he looked over and spoke in a low voice.

"It's over, are you leaving?"

Qi Yan tapped the steering wheel with her fingertips. She didn't know why she didn't want to hide it from him this time.

"Ah."

"..."

Shen Rao paused with his hand clasped on the car door handle, and it took him a while to find his voice.

"Will you return to the imperial capital?"

"Hard to say."

It just won't.

He bit his lip and regained his composure.

"when are we leaving?"

Qi Yan stretched out his waist and said soothingly.

"Not sure. There are still some follow-up matters to deal with. You can go back."

Shen Rao didn't look back, opened the door and got out of the car in silence.

As soon as he got out of the car, Gu Qing, who was watching outside, ran over and looked inside the car.

"Whose car did you get in? We sent someone to pick you up at the police station, but they said you left a long time ago."

Shen Rao closed the car door too quickly, and Gu Qing only had time to see his silhouette.

He didn't bother about it and quickly pulled Shen Rao inside.

"Hurry up and have someone check you out. It's so cold outside and you're only wearing so little. By the way, I heard the criminal was shot dead. How is Qi Yan?"

Qi Yan saw the two people enter the house, then he withdrew his gaze, started the car and left.

Gu Qing pulled Shen Rao in, and seeing that he kept his head down and remained silent, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"What's wrong, is Qi Yan injured?"

Shen Rao shook his head slowly.

"What's the matter? Tell me, is it a fever?"

Shen Rao slapped away Gu Qing's hand that was about to touch his forehead and went upstairs without saying a word.

Gu Qing looked at his silent back and felt strange.

I could only ask the medical team to stand by and ran to the side to dial a number.
