Almost at the instant the two of them stopped, Shang Jiuying reached out and wrapped his arm around Qin Yiyi’s waist, bringing her to one side to avoid it.
Bang!
A bullet once again drilled into the steps under the night sky.
At the same time, Xu Zhuoyan’s face was ashen as he led his men to counterattack.
It was as if those people were already stationed under the night sky. In the blink of an eye, a few black-clothed men stood in front of Shang Jiuying, their bodies full of killing intent.
“Ninth Master, it was the few fish that slipped through the net previously. Now, they have been dealt with.”
The one who spoke was Jia Yi. He was very remorseful, “Ninth Master, please punish me.”
“Bring your men back now. Control whoever you implicate first. Remember, I want irrefutable evidence.”
Jia Yi knew that this was asking him to redeem himself.
But…
“After your subordinate left, your place…”
He felt a little strange in his heart. After all, Master Jiu had already said that he would return as soon as possible.
The manpower they brought was not that complete.
That was why those bastards took advantage of the loophole.
“Zhuoyan and Dingyi are enough.”
Jia Yi did not dare to say anything more. He nodded and waved his hand, leading a few people back into the night.
Xu Zhuoyan walked over with a stern expression,
“Brother Jiu, I’ll send you back first.”
Shang Jiuying hummed in acknowledgment. He lowered his head and realized that he was still hugging the little girl’s waist!
Moreover, this little girl was actually blinking at him.
She did not say a word.
It was as if she was admiring some artwork…
The corner of Shang Jiuying’s mouth twitched, and his voice was low. “Have you seen enough, little friend Yiyi?”
“Oh, you know I’m still young. I’m a little scared when something like this happens all of a sudden. It’s normal for my legs to go weak.”
Qin Yiyi’s expression was serious as she flung away the blame confidently.
She was not looking at him, she was afraid.
Excuse me, who had not been afraid of being able to take him away from the bullets in the first place?
Who was afraid of staring at A-1 and the rest until their eyes lit up? Who had a curious look on their faces as if they wanted to go over and personally take part in the fight?
Also, when they said they were afraid, could they at least put on an act?
Qin Yiyi didn’t care about what the other party was thinking. She steadied herself and looked at the car that had stopped. Then, she waved at Shang Jiuying.
“It’s getting late. Goodbye.”
She had to hurry back to sleep.
When the car started driving, Xu Zhuoyan looked at Shang Jiuying, who was leaning against the back of the seat with his eyes drooping. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
“If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Well, Ninth Brother, you asked me to say this. Yo- you didn’t take a fancy to that girl, did you?”
Xu Zhuoyan felt like his brain was cramping after he finished speaking.
Otherwise, how could he have said such a thing?
However, that little girl was really good-looking, and Ninth Brother actually let her get close to him and even hugged her!
After all, he had followed Brother Jiu for so many years, and even the few girls from the Shang family had not been able to get within two meters of Brother Jiu!
“Hey, hey, Brother Jiu, you… fell asleep?”
He had been talking for so long, but Brother Jiu did not hear a single word?!
Just as he was about to give up, the person beside him slowly opened his mouth.
“Go back and gather her information for me.”
Pausing for a moment, he added, “The more detailed it is, the better.”
“Sigh, Brother Jiu, you can’t really have taken a fancy to that little girl, right? She’s still young, you…”
Shang Jiuying had already closed his eyes and couldn’t be bothered with him.
The next morning, Qin Yiyi carried her school bag to school. Just as she entered the class, she realized that her classmates seemed to be paying special attention to her.
She raised her eyebrows before sitting down in her seat.
A classmate walked over inexplicably. “Qin Yiyi, I heard that you got first place in the exam this time. You cheated, right?”
“She definitely cheated.”
Qin Yiyi raised her eyebrows and was about to say something when a teacher’s voice sounded at the classroom door.
“Qin Yiyi, come to the office with me..”
