422 Danger

The air was filled with a pungent sweet smell. The man’s figure was infinitely elongated under the dim light. He firmly covered Zhou Hui’s body, creating a suffocating environment for her.

Zhou Hui’s muddled thoughts cleared up because of this fear. She wanted to turn around in fear, but she realized that there was tape on her mouth and she was tied to the corner of the sofa.

Du changqun, who was beside her, was also tied up in a corner in the same position. The difference was that du changqun was sleeping soundly and did not have any reaction to the current situation.

!!
What made Zhou Hui feel a little more at ease was that after she looked around, she realized that she was still in the familiar living room of her house. It was only because the man who had suddenly barged in had adjusted the light that she had mistakenly thought that she had been kidnapped and taken to another place when she had just woken up.

However, when she saw the man’s figure against the light in front of her, her breath of relief rose to her throat again.

The environment she was in was of no help to her current situation.

There were still two children at home. The only adult, du changqun, had long been knocked out. Even if he woke up, it would be of no help to the current situation.

Zhou Hui’s eyes welled up with tears at the thought of her son and daughter. She wriggled around in a panic, wanting to know if du you and du honghong were alright.

Du honghong was at the prime of her youth, and a man who had barged into her house like this could very well hurt her.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she struggled with all her might with strength that came out of nowhere.

However, Zhou Hui thought that she had used all her strength to struggle, but in the man’s eyes, she was like a ridiculous, helpless worm that was squirming.

Wu, Wu, Wu, Wu, Wu … she shook her head anxiously. She wanted to knock into du changqun, who was sleeping soundly. Her actions caused the man, who had been resting on the other side of the sofa, to slowly turn his head.

He turned his face sideways, one hand on the armrest of the single sofa, and the other on his chin. Under the light, his jaw was sharp and thin, as if it had been carved by a knife. His beard was very clean, and his lips were slightly pursed, looking a little familiar.

Zhou Hui was wondering if she had offended someone.

The du family had always been honest and did not stir up trouble. However, in recent years, after her daughter, Jiang se, became famous, the du family gradually prospered. They bought a house and had Jiang se to provide for them every month. The whole family could even travel abroad. Perhaps, she had attracted the attention of some people and they were now targeting her.

After all, the more famous Jiang se was, the easier it was for the du family to attract attention. She recalled the phone call she had received earlier. Du honghong had complained that Jiang se might be the cause of the trouble. Zhou Hui could not help but feel a little angry.

The man on the sofa watched her struggle with interest. He suddenly stood up. Zhou Hui noticed his tall figure.

The curtains in the living room had not been drawn, which proved that the family had not had time to sleep when they lost consciousness.

But how did she fall unconscious? in her panic, she had no memory at all.

He vaguely remembered that she was still packing her luggage, but the next moment, she suddenly fell asleep.

She was a little uneasy and only hoped that the security of this community would be more responsible. When she noticed that a thief had broken into her house, she knocked into du changqun’s body again.

The tall man walked to the curtain and took off the string that was tied to the curtain. He wound it around his hand a little, but after trying to tie it properly, he returned to the original position.

After the silk rope tied to the curtain was taken away, it fell down and blocked the beautiful moonlight tonight.

Zhou Hui was in despair, but fortunately, du changqun snorted and showed signs of waking up under her continuous ramming.

Her gaze fell on the man’s palm. A plastic bath cap wrapped his hair tightly. He was wearing rubber gloves. In the night, his eyes met Zhou Hui’S. He did not even panic. Instead, he smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth.

He did not hide himself. When he noticed that Zhou Hui was awake, he turned on the lamp beside him. His face was revealed to Zhou Hui bit by bit. The moment Zhou Hui saw him, she looked as if she had seen a ghost.

“It’s been a long time,” He smiled and spoke with a calm expression, as if he had seen an old friend who had not seen him for a long time.

He was clearly an uninvited guest in this house, but at this moment, he sat down calmly, like a leisurely master.

“Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu”

On the other hand, Zhou Hui could feel her legs trembling. Du changqun was slowly regaining consciousness. He felt that something was not quite right. He struggled a little, but his outcome was not much better than Zhou Hui’s.

He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a problem with the water supply system in the building recently. The valve had been closed several times, and the owner had complained to the property management several times, and the property management promised to manage it well.

Tonight, when du changqun was preparing to take a shower, the water stopped again halfway through. It was probably a prank that turned it off. In a rage, he dried his body, put on his clothes, and prepared to go to the property management to argue.

He had not bought the house at a high price just to enjoy this kind of treatment. No matter who was playing a prank, the property management had to come up with an article.

However, not long after he opened the door, someone strangled his neck and covered his mouth and nose with something. The last thing he remembered was a disgusting and nauseating sweetness, and he soon lost consciousness.

He was not sure what happened after that. He had just been knocked awake by Zhou Hui.

“I forgot that you can’t speak yet.”

He chuckled and made a shushing gesture at Zhou Hui. His fingers deftly tied a loose knot around du changqun’s neck. He held one end of the rope in his palm while his other free hand moved behind Zhou Hui’s hair and touched the knot of the tape. Without any effort, he tore off the tape on her face!

Jiang Zhiyuan didn’t use much strength, but Zhou Hui felt as if a layer of skin was about to be torn off from her face and lips.

She trembled and was about to scream when Jiang Zhiyuan tightened the rope in his hand. Du changqun, who was beside her, was almost strangled to death.

“Don’t shout, I don’t like this the most.” He was still the same as she remembered him to be, a man of few words.

Back then, he was handsome and cold, and she was so fascinated by him that she couldn’t find her bearings.

However, now that they met again, his ruthlessness from back then scared Zhou Hui out of her wits.

“Please, I beg you, Yingluo!”

She could not stop shaking, and du changqun’s face was red from being strangled. Jiang Zhiyuan was still whispering,’Shh, Shh’ to her. “Lower your voice.”

“What are you doing here?” She was a weak woman. She was like this in the past, helpless and fragile. Now that she was older, there were still some traces of her past appearance.

On the table beside Jiang Zhiyuan, there were cigarettes, alcohol, lighters, and du changqun’s belts and bags. Money and cards were scattered all over the table and were taken out by someone.
