RNP Chapter 390
Chapter 390
In this endless dark night, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were hidden in the depths of darkness, watching everything in the world. Even someone like Xie Yuchen, who had been under all-round strict protection since childhood and even had special marks on his hair and feet, could not completely avoid the threat of darkness that followed him like a shadow.
At this moment, in the narrow and dark alley, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the original silence. Behind the closed windows on both sides, there were faint noises, perhaps someone was awakened, but they just turned over, mumbled a few words in their sleep, and fell asleep again.
Xie Yuchen's face was as pale as paper, with one hand tightly covering his waist and abdomen. Blood was oozing out of the wound, staining his clothes red. He staggered and struggled forward under the protection of the few remaining guards, trying to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.
"Young master! Run! Our men are waiting for you at the exit!" a guard shouted anxiously.
Not far ahead was a brightly lit street, but at this moment, Xie Yuchen had only a few guards left.
Although he was extremely anxious and wanted to turn around to see the situation of the pursuers behind him, he finally controlled his impulse with his strong willpower.
Because he knew very well that he was not a fool like Wu Xie who was overly kind-hearted and ignorant of the consequences; and those killers who were relentless in chasing him to silence him were definitely not the extras in the movie who were destined to fail and die.
This is not a virtual game world, he does not have a second life to squander. If he is not careful, he will be doomed to an abyss.
"Young master! Run! You must escape from here safely, so that you can have a chance to avenge us!" With this shrill cry, the last loyal guard fell under the knives of the ghostly black shadows behind him. Blood splattered everywhere, staining the stone road beneath their feet red.
However, what annoyed the group of shadows was that at the critical moment, the unknown guard used up his last bit of strength and pushed Xie Yuchen forward. At the same time, the Xie family's reinforcements arrived in time like a god descending from the sky and caught Xie Yuchen steadily.
At this moment, Xie Yuchen was tightly surrounded by many Xie family guards, forming an indestructible protective circle. He slowly turned his head and stared at the dark alley filled with the breath of death. There, seventeen cold corpses were lying in a mess. They were all companions who had accompanied Xie Yuchen since childhood and were inseparable like shadows.
"Investigate!" Although Xie Yuchen's voice was steady and gentle, the anger and determination contained in it seemed to be able to penetrate everyone's soul and was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone guarding him.
Then, with a gloomy face, he gave an order: "Handle the aftermath of these people properly. I cannot be without guards by my side, and select suitable people from the family to fill in as soon as possible." As a superior, Xie Yuchen knew that he had a heavy responsibility. Even if he was heartbroken, he must not cry easily in front of outsiders, especially in such a public place.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the crowd, accompanied by an anxious cry: "Xiaohuaer!" It turned out that Hei Xiazi got the news that Xie Yuchen was being chased by someone, and he was anxious and ran all the way here.
Hei Xia Zi slapped his forehead in annoyance and cursed in his heart: "Damn it! How could I miss such a wonderful drama of a hero saving a beauty?" He shook his head and sighed, secretly regretting that he could not take advantage of this carefully planned drama, and the hard work and efforts of the person behind the scenes were wasted.
At this time, Xie Yuchen in the crowd looked a little tired. He frowned slightly and said softly to the guard beside him: "I'm a little tired, please take me back to the mansion." As soon as he finished speaking, he looked through the heavy siege and cast his eyes on Hei Xiazi not far away. The two people's eyes met in the air, only for a brief moment, but in this moment, it seemed that thousands of words were transmitted between each other's hearts.
Seeing this, Hei Xiazi raised his lips slightly, and instantly returned to his usual carefree and cynical look. He whistled leisurely, and every step he took was so uninhibited, as if the existence of people around him had no effect on him. With his uncaring steps, Hei Xiazi brushed past Xie Yuchen and others, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, Xie Yuchen, who thought he had safely returned to the mansion and was in a familiar and comfortable environment, did not dare to relax his vigilance. He sat quietly on the tea table in the study, with a pot of steaming tea and an incense burner emitting a faint fragrance in front of him.
The weak candlelight flickered in the darkness, making the whole room seem even quieter and deeper. At this moment, Xie Yuchen was like a lonely shadow, completely hidden in the darkness. Only here could he let go of all his defenses, let his thoughts drift, and recklessly remember those who lost their lives because of him...
Xie Yuchen knew too well what kind of jackals and tigers surrounded him. In the past, it was the Garden of Eden that his father and father had created for him, which had driven away all the dangers. The dangers he saw were only those that his father and father thought he could handle and control.
You see, once grandpa and father are not around, those hidden jackals, tigers and leopards will show their true colors, and those wolves that seem tamed and docile on weekdays will also show their sharp teeth to bite their prey.
Everyone thought that Xie Yuchen was just a dodder relying on Zhang Qiling and Hua Yu, but they forgot that the dodder that could grow up under the hands of these two people was never just dependent on humans.
Those external appearances, those seemingly weak, bluffing Xie Yuchen were just acting for you. He acted for too long and acted too naturally, so he deceived group of ignorant people.
"Daddy! Father! Look, if we don't use some cruel bait, how can we get big fish to take the bait?" Xie Yuchen picked up the teacup that had already gone cold on the table and poured it on the ground to offer sacrifice to the seventeen young men who had just died.
"It's a pity for these 17 young men. They died in the conspiracy before they could get married and start a family. But don't worry!" Xie Yuchen hid half of his face in the shadows, looking at the wet ground with compassion like a Bodhisattva who had mercy on the world. "There were so many chances given to you, but you were useless and refused to seize the only chance to touch the sun."
"Since you have chosen to embark on that road of death, don't blame me, Xie Yuchen, for being cruel and unwilling to give you a way out." The sudden change made Xie Yuchen look like a demon from hell. "Reflect on your own problems in the underworld, and don't run into me, Xie Yuchen, again in your next life."
There was a knock on the study door. The person waiting outside heard his boss asking him to come in and slowly pushed the door open.
The cold moonlight poured onto Xie Yuchen's face as the door opened. "Everything has been cleaned up. New people will take over tomorrow morning."
"Well done!" Xie Yuchen casually threw something to the visitor, "This is a reward for you. Remember what to say and what not to say."
"I understand!" The visitor did not check the object in his hand immediately, but he could roughly feel that it was a round object, perhaps a pearl, or a South China pearl, a gold pearl, or a mermaid pearl.
"I'm looking forward to your performance!" Xie Yuchen raised his head and glanced at his subordinate who was lowering his head, and was very satisfied with his attitude.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your reward! I am where I am today thanks to your kindness!" The man knelt on one knee to express his loyalty to Xie Yuchen.
"Sincerely! Kindness! It's like a person saying I love you, but the next moment he can say these three words to other people. It's as simple as eating and drinking!" Xie Yuchen sneered at what his subordinate said to him.
“Your Highness! If it had not been for your unintentional act, it might be questionable whether I could live to see your Highness in this state.” The man knelt on the ground and crawled forward, and the look in his eyes when he raised it was like a devout believer seeing the god he had always believed in.
"I have done so many unintentional things, but I have never seen other people do things for me because of me?" Xie Yuchen supported his head with one hand and looked at the man who kept kneeling towards him with a sweet smile.
"I will not judge others, but I am absolutely loyal to Your Highness!" The man clung to Xie Yuchen's legs and wanted to touch him, but seemed to be afraid of disturbing his spirit, so he abruptly withdrew his hand.
Xie Yuchen suddenly leaned over and placed one hand on his retracted hand, "Oh~ Then tell me, what exactly was my unintentional act towards you~"
The man raised his head and looked at the beautiful face that was so close to him. It was obvious that if he only moved a little closer, he would be able to kiss the god that he had always kept in his heart, but he was afraid that any action he took would desecrate his god.
"Your Highness only needs to stand there. Just one glance is enough to make everyone stop what they are doing. It was also that unintentional act that allowed me to escape the beating of that group of ignorant children." The man looked at Xie Yuchen's face, obsessed.
"Is it just because you drove away those children who beat you?" Xie Yuchen's eyes were full of confusion. He couldn't help but feel puzzled. Just because he escaped from being beaten, would he be so loyal to him?
"That's all! Perhaps to Your Highness, it is just a trivial matter, or even a speck of dust that you can't even remember, but in my heart, that is the time when I am closest to God." The man's pious gaze burned Xie Yuchen's eyes.
Xie Yuchen straightened his back and leaned on the coffee table. "If you have nothing else, go down first! I have guests coming soon." After that, he filled his own cup and the cup opposite him with tea and waved his hand for people to leave.
The man's eyes inevitably dimmed for a moment, but in the blink of an eye he returned to his previous cold and ruthless look. He stood up, took his leave and left the study.
