My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 256: Chapter 0256: Assassin Attacks (Three More)_1
 

Yang Xinyi and Tang Ning were at home.

“Xinyi, don’t panic, listen to me.”

After the phone call connected, Ye Xiong spoke with the calmest and quickest speed, “You and Tang Ning, lock all the doors of the rooms in the house now, and then find a place to hide with Tang Ning.”

“What’s happened?” Yang Xinyi’s face turned pale with fright when she heard him.

“Someone’s coming to capture you. Chen Xiao is already on his way to save you, try to buy as much time as possible.”

If Ye Xiong’s guess was correct, Long Tianya had murderous intentions this time; if found, the two of them wouldn’t be so lucky.

Ye Xiong’s palms were drenched in sweat, but he couldn’t let it show in his voice because that would make Yang Xinyi and Tang Ning even more terrified, so he chose to use the word ‘capture,’ not ‘kill.’

“Tang Ning, lock all the room doors and then find a place to hide. Your cousin-in-law says bad people are coming to get us,” Yang Xinyi said urgently.

Hearing this, Tang Ning jumped up from the sofa, frightened.

The two of them dashed upstairs, locked all the room doors, then ran to a bathroom in some room on the fourth floor, squatting on the ground, shivering.

“Cousin, who’s coming to get us, did your husband say?” Tang Ning asked nervously.

“Shh, don’t talk.”

Yang Xinyi’s heart was thumping violently, almost reaching her throat with nervousness.

“It’s over, we might get raped or raped and then killed… Cousin, I don’t want to die.” Tang Ning’s face turned pale with fear.

“Don’t talk, someone is coming to rescue us,” Yang Xinyi whispered.

Just as the two of them had hidden, a car stopped at the entrance of the villa, and a man about 1.75 meters tall with large sunglasses on his face, dressed in black and wearing black gloves, got out of the car and quickly entered the villa.

His steps didn’t seem fast, but upon closer inspection, they were actually quicker than the jogging pace of an ordinary person; in the blink of an eye, he was already at the door, pushing hard against it.

With a gentle push, the door was locked.

The man in black glanced at the parking area; Yang Xinyi’s several cars were all parked inside. He determined that the targets were inside.

Bang, bang, bang!

The man in black kicked several times, and after a dozen or so kicks, the sturdy solid wood door was kicked down.

This showed the strength of the visitor, who was no ordinary person.

Entering the hall, the man in black’s gaze rapidly searched the living room.

The television was on, a cell phone was thrown on the sofa, a pair of slippers lay on the floor, and half-eaten sunflower seeds were left on the table…

As a professional hitman, the man in black quickly made an educated guess.

Someone must have notified them, so they had hidden.

The villa had six floors, each with four rooms, adding up to more than twenty rooms in total. Searching one by one would take a considerable amount of time.

The man in black’s gaze fell onto the sofa, where Tang Ning had left her phone.

He walked over, picked up the phone, flipped through it, and found a number labeled ‘Cousin,’ which he dialed.

He closed his eyes, his ears pricking up.

Soon, he heard a ringtone coming from upstairs.

Although it only lasted for two short seconds, it was enough for him to pinpoint the third and fourth floors; this way, he could save a lot of time.

The man in black took big strides toward the stairs.

Inside the room, Tang Ning started to yell excitedly.

“Cousin, how could you be so stupid, knowing someone is coming to get us and not turning off your phone ringer? They must know we’re hiding here now, what do we do?” Tang Ning said, panicking.

“You’re one to talk, if you hadn’t left your phone downstairs, how would they know my number?” Yang Xinyi retorted.

“How could I know, it was so urgent…” Tang Ning was on the verge of tears.

“Stay calm, we must stay calm.”

Yang Xinyi took a deep breath, pushed the bathroom door open, and walked out.

“Cousin, where are you going?” Tang Ning asked urgently.

“Keep it down.”

Yang Xinyi soon came back, holding two fruit knives, handing one to her while clutching the other tightly in her own hand.

“Xiao Ning, if someone comes in, I’ll rush out and fight with them. You stay in the bathroom and don’t go out. They’re after me, not you. As long as you stay hidden, you should be fine,” Yang Xinyi instructed.

“Cousin, no,” Tang Ning couldn’t hold back any longer and started sobbing.

“Don’t cry, your crying might give us away,” Yang Xin said hurriedly.

Tang Ning clasped her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face.

She clung to Yang Xinyi, refusing to let go.

“Cousin, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have argued with you over Xiao Baibai, I’m really sorry,” Tang Ning cried.

“It’s not your fault, it’s my own bias. I was bitten by a dog before and have a phobia. Xiao Baibai is cute and sensible, but I really can’t accept it. The one who should apologize is me,” Yang Xinyi replied, with tears welling up in her eyes.

“As long as we’re alright this time, I’ll listen to everything you say from now on; I won’t argue with you, spend recklessly, cause trouble, bother your husband, or yearn for your husband anymore. Wuu… Cousin, the truth is, in my heart, I’ve always had feelings for your husband…”

“We’ll be fine,” Yang Xinyi interrupted her, saying sternly, “Promise me, no matter what, don’t go out, don’t make a sound, got it?”

Tang Ning nodded vigorously, tears blurring her vision.

The two women clung tightly to each other.

Out on the street at that moment.

A car was speeding toward the villa with lightning speed.

Chen Xiao turned the steering wheel swiftly, his car zigzagging through the busy city streets like an eel slipping through the flow of traffic.

Vermilion Bird sat in the back seat, observing Chen Xiao’s grim expression through the rearview mirror. She suddenly realized that this man, at times, resembled Reaper very much.

Both were the kind of men who seemed carefree on the surface but in reality, had a stronger sense of responsibility than anyone else.

Half an hour ago, Chen Xiao had asked her out for dinner; Vermilion Bird had no other plans, so she agreed.

The meal took less than ten minutes, eight of which they had spent bickering, and two were spent ordering the food.

Chen Xiao’s ‘magical treasure’ in verbal sparring was naturally her flat chest, which nearly led Vermilion Bird to come to blows with him.

She felt that this older man was just too petty.

It was then that Ye Xiong’s call came.

There was a traffic light ahead with a dozen cars lined up, and in between, there was just a tiny gap, clearly not big enough for another car.

“Hold on tight.”

After the warning, Chen Xiao shifted the car into first gear, suddenly stepped on the gas, and forced his way through.

He hit a dozen cars one after another, creating a lane for himself before running the red light and speeding away.

Vermilion Bird glanced at both car doors; they were deformed, with one hanging off and strewing parts on the road.

The wind rushed in, blowing through Vermilion Bird’s long hair, giving her a peculiar feeling.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

For the first time, she realized that this man, already twenty-eight, five years her senior, had a side that commanded respect.

At a time like this, a man should act exactly like this.

The car raced down the street, heading towards the villa.
