Chapter 415 Strange Glasses
Late at night, outside Chi Xiaocheng's residential complex, two women in plain clothes stepped out of a car. Almost as soon as their feet touched the solid ground, both felt a chilling sense of being watched.
Accompanying this was the sound of dogs barking in the distance, emanating from the darkness.
The younger of the two women couldn't help but gulp. "Sis, is this mission really just to move some stuff?"
Xia Ju, the older sister, patted the girl's back and said softly, "Relax, these... they should all be on our side."
She took a breath and walked to the security booth next to the entrance. "Hello, I'm sent by Young Master Si Chen to pick up some luggage for Miss Chi and Miss Su. The Young Master should have contacted you in advance, right?"
The security guard, a man with a stubbly face, gave Xia Ju a faint glance. "Show me the token."
After handing over the token that represented her identity, the security guard quickly made a phone call. Immediately after, a fierce-looking man with only one arm walked out of the complex.
Chi Song glanced at the two women and said indifferently, "The situation has been a bit tense recently. We have to check every new face. Sorry about that."
Xia Ju smiled lightly. "I understand. Can we go up now?"
"Yeah."
Chi Song responded with a sigh, lighting a cigarette with a troubled expression.
Seeing this, the security guard couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Song, this isn't sustainable. They're in the dark and we're in the light, constantly being played like a cat and mouse. Should we ask Brother Long to bring more people?"
Chi Song shook his head. "Brother Long can't leave. The Second Young Master Ye doesn't know what got into him, he also wants to seize Lizhi City like Ye Liang did, and he's sent people over there to stir things up again."
"If Brother Long comes here, the Second Young Master Ye might free up his hands and directly turn against us in Jiuzhou City. After all, we've had a feud with that guy for a long time."
As he spoke, he sighed again.
In fact, he was more worried than anyone else.
His two younger sisters were being targeted, accidents were happening frequently, but he, as their older brother, couldn't do anything to help.
He couldn't find Xiao Ming.
He got no follow-up about dealing with Chu Lingfeng.
He didn't have much of a brain. He could only blindly follow the information and instructions given by Si Chen, and the result was that he couldn't do anything right, turning into a bodyguard of little use.
He was guarding this residential complex with a bunch of underlings.
But even here wasn't safe anymore.
The security guard looked at Chi Song, who was deep in thought, and couldn't help but say, "Then Brother Song, now that Young Master Si Chen is protecting the two young ladies, if we really don't know what to do, should we... expose them to Chu Lingfeng?"
Chi Song glared at him. "You want me to endanger the lives of our brothers for my own selfish desires?"
Protecting his sisters was important, but his brothers were just as important.
However...
Now that Si Chen had taken over the protection, he might have more opportunities to act alone.
At the same time, the sisters Xia Ju and Xia Kui entered the password at the door and opened it.
"Sis, I feel like things are actually pretty peaceful these days. The Young Master even solemnly told us to be careful on the road and to call him or the police if anything happened. I don't think it's really necessary, right?"
Xia Kui turned on the lights, shivering from the coldness of the room.
Seeing this, Xia Ju tapped her younger sister's head. "Silly, just follow the Young Master's orders. Miss Chi and Miss Su are different from us. Didn't you see the bodyguards inside and outside the complex?"
"Go hold those two cats. I'll go see what needs to be packed."
"Got it!"
The two sisters entered Chi Xiaocheng's room together, intending for one to pack clothes while the other held the cats.
But who would have thought that Da Wang and Xiao Ran, who were originally in the quilt, thought it was Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng returning when they heard the door open.
They were just about to ask their caretakers for a hug.
But they saw two unfamiliar women.
Da Wang immediately puffed up its fur.
After slapping the sleeping Xiao Ran, it hurriedly dragged the white cat towards the window.
The sisters were stunned.
"Hey, cats, wait a minute! We're not bad people!" Xia Kui quickly chased after them, but Da Wang and Xiao Ran were extremely clever. They disappeared from sight in no time.
Xia Ju, as the older sister, sighed helplessly and turned to open the closet.
First, she packed the clothes, then some commonly used items that were within easy reach.
Su Tao's drawing tablet, the books about acting that she usually read, the sachet that was lying on the bedside...
If she wasn't sure what to pack, she'd just bring everything that she felt might be used often.
Then, Xia Ju heard her sister's voice again, "Sis, both cats ran away. We can't take them back. What do we do?"
"It's so late already. It's not good to bother the Young Master. Let's ask tomorrow."
Xia Ju picked up a down coat, thought for a moment, and then put it down again. But then she had a second thought.
Now it was early spring, only a little warmer, but it would still be cold in the morning. Maybe this coat was necessary?
She thought for a moment and decided to fold it and put it in the suitcase to take with her.
"What's this?"
Xia Ju felt a lump in the pocket, took it out, and her eyes showed doubt. "Glasses?"
The black frames were a bit old-fashioned, but they also had a bit of a futuristic metallic feel.
There was no case for them, but they were always kept in the pocket.
Did she forget to take them out, or were they important enough to always keep them?
"Oh well, I'll just take them along too."
The somewhat strange glasses were put into the suitcase along with the coat.
...
Time quickly came to morning. At 6 a.m., the sky was dimly lit, and along with waking up and setting off, Si Chen also brought news.
"Chi Xiaocheng, Su Tao, my people have already delivered your luggage to the villa first. But there's still one problem, which is that we can't catch those two cats you keep. Strangers seem to have a hard time getting close to them."
"Uh..."
Chi Xiaocheng had forgotten that Da Wang and Xiao Ran were both super sensitive types. They wouldn't get close to anyone they weren't familiar with.
What's more, Da Wang had become an expert at escaping, so catching it would be even harder.
She scratched her head. "Tao Tao, what should we do? Should we go back and pick them up together? If we take a detour now, it'll only take about half an hour more."
Su Tao stroked her chin. "Si Chen, what do you think?"
"I don't recommend going back. If there's a traffic jam during rush hour, it'll be easy for an accident to happen. I can send someone to feed them cat food near your house every day."
"True." Su Tao responded, "Anyway, they'll pick up trash to eat when they're hungry. Nothing will happen to them."
Mainly, Su Tao was a little uneasy. She always felt that something unexpected would happen on this trip.
If they went back again, the possibility of an accident would be even higher if there was a traffic jam along the way.
She'd just have to compensate Da Wang and Xiao Ran properly when things settled down.
Su Tao thought to herself, and then said to Si Chen, "Then shall we leave now?"
"Yeah, let's go."
The three of them left, still in the same SUV from yesterday.
But they didn't notice that a man who was setting up a breakfast cart nearby was slowly taking out his phone after they left.
"Divine Doctor Chu, it's me. They've set off."
