Chapter 418 Si Chen: You'Re Catching Chi Xiaocheng, Why Are You Hitting Me?
This wasn't just an illusion; the situation outside was indeed improving.
The gunfire gradually subsided, and fewer bullets struck their SUV. Even with the broken window providing an opportunity, the attackers didn't increase their assault.
It seemed the hand grenade was the world's will's last trump card. Since it failed to penetrate Si Chen's SUV, the world's will had no other means.
Si Chen clearly realized this and began to slow down.
He was waiting for his bodyguards to converge.
Continuing alone carried the risk of unforeseen accidents.
Chi Xiaocheng felt the warnings from her danger sense skill rapidly diminishing. Her tense expression eased, and she quickly sat up, looking at Su Tao's back. "Tao Tao, how are you feeling?"
Several small shards of glass were embedded in her back, with patches of bright red staining the fabric.
Su Tao didn't dare get up, still keeping Chi Xiaocheng pinned down. She said softly, "Xiaocheng, don't worry about me. It's enough that you're okay. It probably just scratched the surface. The glass didn't go deep. We can take care of it when we're safe."
"But…" Chi Xiaocheng's worried expression didn't change. "It still needs to be treated promptly. There's a risk of infection, and it might leave a scar."
"Safety first. Let's not make a fuss now."
Their back-and-forth, in place of the tense atmosphere, almost turned intimate.
Especially since one was lying on top of the other, their body heat, breathing, and even heartbeats were noticeably distinct.
Si Chen glanced in the rearview mirror, and said speechlessly, "You two, that's enough. When we're completely safe, you can be as lovey-dovey as you want."
At his words, both Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng blushed.
Si Chen wasn't the only one here.
The two special forces bodyguards were still present.
Confirming that the gunfire had stopped, the two slowly got up, still keeping low.
Looking at Si Chen, they realized his injuries seemed much more serious than Su Tao's.
His forehead was grazed, and blood covered half his face. The clothes on his left arm were torn, revealing his muscular arm.
Despite this, his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, and beneath his blood-flecked glasses, his eyes were calm and rational.
A quick comparison showed the man's injuries were indeed much more severe than Su Tao's.
Seeing this, Chi Xiaocheng didn't feel good about continuing to press the matter.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Fortunately, nothing happened on the way.
Dongfang Yang also called, claiming to have brought the situation under control. Although he hadn't found the mastermind, he could guarantee absolute safety on the way back to the villa.
"Hospital or back to the villa?"
Chi Xiaocheng asked Si Chen.
Her danger sense skill was completely silent, indicating that Dongfang Yang and Chi Song had indeed dealt with all the enemies.
Si Chen replied calmly, "Let's go back. I'll have my private medical team check on Su Tao directly. Going to the hospital is too dangerous."
"At least…" Si Chen paused, "at least wait until Chu Lingfeng is dead before you go out. Otherwise, stay in the small villa I've arranged for you for now."
"Okay."
That was all they could do for now.
No matter where, weakness was the original sin.
…
Soon, the SUV drove toward the small villa Si Chen had prepared.
It was a somewhat classic wealthy residential area, with rows of large, single-story villas close together. The car drove straight in, and they saw many recreational facilities along the way.
A large sports field, a children's playground, an artificial swimming pool…
It was still a residential area, but the security here was extremely high.
Moreover, the detached villa where Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao were located was near the back gate of the residential area, a short distance from other houses, as if it had been specially carved out.
The small villa was two stories, and it didn't seem to be even 200 square meters in size. In front was a flower garden, and a small path leading directly to the riverbank fence.
"The view here is broad, and few people come to the back gate. If you notice anything wrong, shout loudly and you can get help from the nearby gatekeepers and security guards. Strangers won't be allowed into the residential area."
"Register with the property management later, and this will be the safest place in the entire villa complex."
Si Chen drove the SUV into the underground garage, wiped the blood from his face, and then took Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng to the outside of the villa.
He continued, "Of course, if you're bored, you can play around nearby, but don't leave the residential area. There are many sports facilities further inside. You can play golf if you want, but the course is a bit far."
"Also…"
Before he could finish, he arrived at the door of the small villa, and found someone already waiting there.
The person was wearing a suit, and seemed to be a security guard here as well.
He stepped forward and greeted Si Chen respectfully, "Good morning, Young Master Si Chen."
Si Chen frowned at the person. "Who are you?"
Si Chen had some impression of the people around him, but this person looked unfamiliar.
The man in plain clothes smiled faintly. "I'm a good friend of yours, Yao Ah."
He made a shushing gesture with his left hand, and slowly pulled a handgun from his chest with his right.
The dark muzzle made the three who had already lowered their guard tense up instantly.
No one was around.
But it was unclear if there were snipers in the distance.
The danger sense skill didn't provide much warning, but this person clearly couldn't have come alone.
Would there be enough time to knock him down with a fruit knife and quickly get inside the house?
Chi Xiaocheng didn't expect that even after overcoming the crisis, the world's will still wouldn't let her go.
Chu Lingfeng's people had even infiltrated Si Chen's villa.
Could it be that after repeatedly running into walls after losing his luck, he had begun to use his brain to think?
With the precise surgical knife skill, Chi Xiaocheng was confident in piercing the man's gun-wielding hand in an instant.
But she hadn't moved yet.
Su Tao, who was also on edge, seemed about to step forward.
The man in plain clothes raised his gun and pointed it at Si Chen, smiling slightly. "Ladies, I know you both have considerable combat abilities, but I advise you not to be impulsive. Or you can try whether my gun is faster, or how fast you can stop me.”
The man's index finger on the trigger was already applying slight pressure.
Si Chen swallowed, the fear of death and his own rationality constantly clashing.
Yes, he was smart not to point the gun at Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng.
Every time he tried to kill those two, accidents happened. What about others?
Moreover, his goal wasn't to kill people here.
The gun was pointed at Si Chen, but the man in plain clothes' gaze never left Chi Xiaocheng.
