658 Chaos 2

d, "Want to go take a look"My brother immediately exclaimed, “Don’t let Xiao Qiao go in there. There’s a small room inside that stinks to high heaven. There’s a large vat in there, and you have to tak...Though Lin Yanqin wasn't pleased to see Cheng Yi again, she maintained her impeccable composure and decorum on the surface.

As a bride today, she naturally couldn't get angry with the guests.

My brother is also quite restrained, after all, relatives from the Lin family are all here, he can't be too unrestrained.

What to do I glanced at my brother.

My brother glared at me: "Cool it! This is when you need to lend a hand!"

I quietly got up and, while others weren't paying attention, crept along the edge toward Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi chatted with a person for a few sentences, then excused himself to the restroom.

Lin Yanqin was very wary of him. Seeing him leave the venue alone, she immediately looked at me: Xiao Qiao, keep an eye on him and see what he's trying to do.

I guess I have no choice, looks like I'll have to go block him in the restroom.

The washroom outside this hotel had a separate sink, and there was a large glass wall facing the sink. I didn't dare get too close, in case he saw me following him.

I stood outside for a few minutes, Cheng Yi hadn't come out yet — don't men get to the bathroom quickly

A sanitation worker walked past me and shouted to the men's restroom, "Cleaning! Is anyone in there"

She estimated she had been doing this for a long time, and without waiting for a reply inside, she placed the cleaning sign at the door and pushed it open before going in.

Isn't Cheng Yi inside

I was just pondering when suddenly I sensed a strange aura coming from the bathroom.

The breath was fleeting, like a crack appearing in an eggshell before quickly being sealed shut.

"Big sister!" I cried out reflexively.

The older sister, who had just put out a cleaning rack, was taken aback and turned to ask, "What's wrong"

"That... there seems to be someone inside..."

My elder sister cast me a suspicious glance, then looked into the passageway and called out, "Is anyone there"

Still no one answered.

"Who's there" My elder sister gave me a withering look and picked up the rag to begin cleaning.

"No, elder sister, there's really someone inside. Could you please clean it later I'm afraid it's dangerous—" I anxiously called out to her.

"Don't talk nonsense! What danger is there in sweeping a toilet! I've seen corpses in the bathroom before!"

"Huh! A corpse!" I was stunned.

“Nonsense! I find used condoms every other day! Aren't those dead embryos Young people these days are dogs! They get frisky anywhere, on the street even! What about a hotel!” The older woman yelled at me angrily and slammed the door shut.

This...did I eat your rice I'd like to remind you, why are you so angry with me

I came here with Cheng Yi. Maybe he thinks it's embarrassing to answer, or... or what

This is the men's restroom, could he still disappear in here

I couldn't help but furrow my brow.

Public restrooms in hotels are generally located in corners. No matter how luxurious they are decorated, they are not placed in high-traffic areas because according to Feng Shui, the best location for a restroom is impossible to place.

This is a place of bad luck and stagnant water, where evil spirits gather and dark, ominous energy accumulates.

If it's a public restroom that's very secluded and rarely used, it's easier for something to go wrong.

Just like Song Wei, after being scared once, she never dared to go to deserted places again and was extremely respectful of the phrase "Under Maintenance."

A light sound came from inside, like something falling to the floor.

I walked over and pushed open the door. Inside, there was a heavy silence, and that faint, unsettling feeling returned.

"Is anyone there" I whispered.

Inside, there was utter silence.

This silence was terribly eerie, not even a breath of air.

I saw two people walk in with my own eyes! How is it possible that it's so quiet

" ...Big sister Did you fall Do you need help" I asked softly at the door.

A hesitant male voice suddenly came from behind me: "Uh... lady, this is the men's restroom..."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I was just—" My face flushed crimson, I was actually caught!

Before I could even finish my words, the man suddenly pushed me hard. I lost my balance and stumbled backwards, falling against the door. As I turned around, I saw a pistol with a silencer pointed directly at me—

I instinctively reached out to protect my stomach.

The man behind had a look of astonishment in his eyes, mixed with a hint of "triumphant" joy.

…Another trap.

"...Who are you Making a scene at the head of my family's wedding, do you want to be ostracized from this circle" I protected my stomach and quickly took a few steps back.

With a dull thud, I bumped into a storage compartment filled with cleaning supplies.

Beneath the partition, a woman's hand slowly retreated inward from the gap.

My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately muttered a spell under my breath. Am I being attacked from both sides

That man was a little panicked, forcing himself to remain calm and said: "Mu Xia Qiao, we are also driven to desperation! No matter what, Mu family or Shen family, since they won't let us live, we have to fight with our lives!"

"You talk so righteously What grudge do you have against our family Who is Cheng Yi!" I asked, frowning.

"Cheng Yi" the man sneered. "There's no such person as Cheng Yi in this world."

What does this mean!

Without Cheng Yi, who is the Cheng Gongzi we see!

The woman at my feet had been slowly retracting her hand, probably because she'd gotten a whiff of the cleaner. But suddenly her demeanor shifted, her anger flaring. Her hand whipped back, and a ripple of black spread across the marble floor like water disturbed by a stone.

I immediately pinched the talisman, my heart just preparing to silently recite the treasure scriptures, when the man with the gun fired a shot beside me!

Suppressor....

The gunshot went unnoticed amidst the boisterous celebration at the engagement party.

I felt a burning sensation in my lower abdomen. The child was just born recently, even if it could resist evil spirits, it couldn't withstand bullets.

"Miss Mu, I know you're capable, but you better not play tricks. Otherwise, we'll have to make things messy..." he said, his voice trembling.

I meekly raised my hands and asked, “...... I want to know why you found me Kidnapping Aren't you here for revenge Just to abduct me”

The man nodded once, then immediately shook his head. "I just want a way out," he said. "I don't want to hurt you...you better cooperate!"

"Okay, I'll cooperate. But tell me, who is Cheng Yi What are his motives If he's too dangerous, even if I die, I won't let him hurt my family..." I stared at the man with the gun and said seriously.

The man's lips twitched, he was about to speak when a cold wave of air suddenly swept over me from behind.

A hand pierced through the partition door, followed by a head.

Cheng Yi, Master Cheng.

His voice carried an uncanny strangeness.

"Mu Xiaoqiao, I am your enemy... Do you think I would tell you my purpose Hmph... After lurking for so long, I finally got the chance..."
