This takeaway rider was very ordinary looking, the kind of person you’ve seen one second and can’t recognise when you throw him in a pile of people the next.
He wore a cap, a yellow waistcoat, and a pair of black trainers on his feet, no different from the takeaway riders we see in our daily lives, ordinary no more.
Who would have thought that this guy would be a killer?
He thanked Lin Delicate while bending down to pick up the takeaway box in Lin Delicate’s hand, and suddenly, a sharp dagger slipped out from inside his right sleeve, stabbing at Lin Delicate’s heart position.
Attempting to kill him with a single blow.
He seemed to be very confident in his slash, therefore, when the dagger stabbed out, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, showing a hint of smugness.
But it was this small action that was keenly captured by Ye Qiu.
A takeaway rider, who had just fallen, it was reasonably a very unlucky thing to do, so how could he exude a smug expression?
This was too counterintuitive.
Ye Qiu’s eyes then landed on the rider’s hand and saw the dagger.
“Watch out!”
Ye Qiu shouted, his hands exerted force and pulled back, the wheelchair slid backward in the process, bringing Lin Delicate to avoid the fatal knife.
However, after the killer landed a blow, his feet followed and leapt forward two steps, stabbing another knife at Lin Exquisite’s throat.
He would not stop until he killed his target.
In the nick of time, Ye Qiu quickly reacted.
Reaching out his right arm, he blocked the dagger.
“Bare!”
The dagger penetrated deep into the skin.
Instantly, Ye Qiu’s right arm was bloody.
This assassin also didn’t expect that someone would use this method to block his dagger, and his eyes contracted slightly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Qiu took a step forward and shielded Lin Delicate behind him, while at the same time, he blasted out with a punch.
The killer crouched down, dodging Ye Qiu’s fist, and then did a few backflips, jumping into the lake under the bridge with a “plop”, disappearing without a trace.
Ye Qiu didn’t go after him.
He was worried that this was a deliberate act by the killer to lure him away, and then another killer would come to kill Lin Delicate.
However, Ye Qiu did not intend to just let the killer go.
After the assassin jumped into the lake, he quickly used a tracking talisman, and a wisp of black Qi appeared and drilled into the lake with a “whoosh”.
It wasn’t until then that Lin Exquisite saw the blood on Ye Qiu’s right arm and asked in panic, “Ye Qiu how are you?”
“I’m fine.”Ye Qiu smiled and said, “This killer is quite cunning, he actually pretended to be a takeaway rider, I almost let him get away with it.”
“Forget about him first, I’ll send you to the hospital.”Lin Exquisite said in a hurry.
“What’s the point of going to the hospital? I’m a doctor myself.”
Ye Qiu took a look, blood was flowing down his arm all the way, his entire hand was stained red with blood.
“No, you’re hurt too badly, I’ll send you to the hospital.”After Lin Exquisite finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call someone.
“It’s really fine, it’s just a little skin wound, I can cure it myself.”Ye Qiu finished speaking and drew a charm to stop the bleeding on the spot.
Soon, the blood was stopped.
“See, it’s fine when I say it’s fine.”Ye Qiu laughed.
Lin Exquisite took a closer look and found that Ye Qiu’s arm really wasn’t bleeding anymore, and suddenly said with a stern face, “Go home.”
Back to the villa.
Lin Exquisite took out the medical kit, then pointed at the sofa and said in a commanding tone, “You sit down.”
Waiting for Ye Qiu to sit down, Lin exquisite gently helped him wipe off the blood on his hands, fixed his eyes and found that even the wounds were gone, full of astonishment, “It’s so quick?”
“That’s not true, I said it’s fine.”
It was only then that Lin Exquisite remembered that Ye Qiu knew the Maoshan talisman, letting out a sigh of relief and saying gratefully, “Ye Qiu, thank you.”
“Why are you still polite with me.”Ye Qiu asked with concern, “Sister Lin, didn’t scare you just now?”
“I was scared when I saw your hands covered in blood.”Lin Exquisite looked at Ye Qiu straight out of the corner of her eye and asked, “Why did you save me just now?”
Ye Qiu laughed, “I’m a man, and a man’s duty is to protect women.”
“Just like that?”Lin Delicate didn’t believe his words.
Only then did Ye Qiu tell the truth: “Sister Lin, you are someone I respect very …… much, I don’t want to let you bleed.”
He originally wanted to say, “You are someone I like very much, but he was afraid that saying so would make Lin Exquisite unhappy, so he said that you are someone I respect very much.
Lin Delicate looked deeply at Ye Qiu as if she wanted to see through him.
Ye Qiu hurriedly changed the topic and asked, “Sister Lin, that rider earlier had very sophisticated movements, he looked like a professional killer.”
“Hmm.”Lin Exquisite nodded slightly, she thought so too.
“Do you know what kind of person wanted to kill you?”
Lin Delicate shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“Leave this matter to me to find out,” Ye Qiu said, “The Nine Thousand Years gave Jiangzhou to me to manage, and now I have thousands of brothers under my hands, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a killer.”
“There’s no need to check.”Lin Delicate said.
Ye Qiu froze, “Why?”
“Over the years, although I’ve had grudges with quite a few people, I know those people, they don’t have the guts to kill me, and the ones who really have the guts to kill me are just those two.”
“Sister Lin you mean Qian Yanru?”
“Qian Yanru counts as one, she has always put Qian Dong’s death on my head and wants to be immortal with me.”Lin Exquisite followed and added, “But Xiao Qingdi is more likely because I wasted his legs.”
This was a deadly feud, and if it was Ye Qiu’s turn, he would also take revenge.
“Anyway, no matter who it is, you have to pay more attention in the future and find a few more bodyguards.”Ye Qiu reminded.
“Don’t worry, even if they want to kill me, they won’t be able to do it that easily. Besides, you will still protect me all the time, right?”
Lin Delicate blinked her big, flirtatious eyes.
“Hmm.”Ye Qiu mumbled.
Lin Delicate then said, “I’m tired, you carry me up to rest!”
“Good.”
Ye Qiu hugged Lin Exquisite and came to her room, just placed her on the bed and was about to get up when Lin Exquisite tugged on her sleeve.
“Sister Lin, what are you doing?”Ye Qiu looked at her suspiciously.
“You like me right?”Lin Exquisite asked.
Ye Qiu hesitated and nodded slightly.
“Then you swear to be good to me for the rest of your life.”
“Sister Lin, what’s wrong with you?”
“Swear!”
Ye Qiu didn’t know what exactly Lin Delicate meant, so he could only say, “I swear, if the sky collapses, I will shoulder it for you; if the earth sinks, I will lay down my life to protect you. Even if the world changes and the sea changes, I will always be willing to stand by your side.”
“That’s more like it.”Lin Delicate suddenly hooked her arm around Ye Qiu’s neck and exhaled in his ear, “Do you want to do sports?”
