Qu Zhong's villa was wrapped up by the lawn, and outside was a low fence. It separated the private area and the streets. Shi Xingcan heard rustling sounds as if someone had stepped over the fence and into the grass.
She sat up, wrapped herself in the quilt, and continued to listen.
The footsteps lingered for a moment outside the house, and then the window was knocked. Shi Xingcan could tell that it was the window of the study at the back. Luckily, the window of the room was usually closed. Borrowing the light from the street lamp outside, through the thin curtain of the curtain, Shi Xingcan saw a person walking over while sticking to the ground window of the villa with something like a short rod in his hands. As he walked, he knocked on the ground window of the villa.
Shi Xingcan was so scared that she did not dare make a sound. She took out his phone to call for help, but did not know who sshe should call. Qu Zhong was watching a movie, he would definitely not pick up his phone, even if he was told that someone suspicious was coming in, Qu Zhong would probably think he was sick. Shi Xingcan wanted to call the police, but he didn't know if the police would come. Her heart was pounding as she held the phone.
The sound of someone knocking on the window stopped, Shi Xingcan suddenly remembered that the window of the restaurant was still open. It would be easy to get in from the outside. On the screen was the number she had just clicked on, but she didn't know if she should call it or not. The number on the blacklist.
This time, she did not hesitate to call Qin Yanmo.
The phone only rang once before Qin Yanmo picked it up. Shi Xingcan buried her mouth under the blanket, afraid that the man would hear it, and spoke anxiously: "Qin Yanmo, save me!"
"What's wrong?" Qin Yanmo's worried voice came from the other side. He was obviously shocked, but he still maintained his rationality, "Are you in the villa?"
"I'm at the villa! Someone is about to barge in, I'm the only one here! " Shi Xingcan's voice sounded like she was crying.
"I'll be there shortly!" Qin Yanmo's decisive voice came out from the other side of the phone. When Shi Xingcan heard this, he felt relieved as if he had been injected with a tranquilizer. Only then did he realize that he was already covered in cold sweat.
But there was a creak in the kitchen, the sound of a window being pushed open. Shi Xingcan immediately lifted up her blanket and jumped off the bed. She did not have time to put on her shoes, as she quickly opened the bedroom door and ran out.
He did not know if Qu Zhong had deliberately designed it, but all the doors in the villa could not be locked. Shi Xingcan did not dare to stay in his bedroom, as he was more afraid of that person breaking the glass from the outside.
The outside of the bedroom was completely dark. Shi Xingcan listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside the house. The man jumped into the kitchen through the window. That person was extremely arrogant, and did not try to conceal her movements at all. While Shi Xingcan prayed that the person didn't turn on the light, she tiptoed and ran downstairs to the storage room.
This was the only relatively safe place that Shi Xingcan could think of. There were no windows in the storage room, and the door was relatively hidden. Normal thieves wouldn't be able to find this place. If she had hid in the storage room, she would probably be able to hold on for a little longer and not be discovered by that person, until Qin Yanmo came to save him.
Shi Xingcan quickly opened the door to the storage room and entered. She gently closed the door before turning on the light.
She stopped to catch her breath, feeling her nightgown soak with cold sweat. But she could not be careless, she looked around, and then moved everything she could move to the back of the storage room's door. There was something inside a heavy wooden chest that she did not know, Shi Xingcan blocked it off from the door. She hoped that even if that person found out about this place, she wouldn't be able to enter.
That person knew that Shi Xingcan was at home, yet he still brazenly entered, and didn't even bother to hide his footsteps. Shi Xingcan thought that he probably wasn't here to steal something, but was most likely headed towards him.
In the next second, she knew that her judgement was correct. Because the man was the first to open Shi Xingcan's bedroom door. In the storage room, she did not even dare to breathe loudly. Instead, she pricked up her ears and listened to what was happening outside.
First, Shi Xingcan's bedroom was pushed open, then the wardrobe that could hold someone inside her bedroom was opened. Crackling sounds came out, most likely because that person had taken out all of the clothes inside.
As if venting his anger for not finding her, there were two more bangs, possibly from the man beating something with his stick. After that, the man walked into Qu Zhong's room, and after searching for a while, he opened the wardrobe, but this time Shi Xingcan did not hear the sound of clothes falling out.
Then the sound of the study door opening. At this time, Shi Xingcan was extremely grateful that she did not lie down on the soft carpet in the villa like she did in the Qu Family Residence, so much so that Shi Xingcan could clearly hear his footsteps. She heard the man push open all the rooms and walk through them. His footsteps came closer and closer. Finally, she walked down the stairs and stopped in front of the storage room.
Shi Xingcan could clearly hear her own rapid heartbeat. She leaned slowly against the wooden crates that held the door open, then pushed.
With a creak, the door handle was twisted. The back door was pushed open, but it was blocked by a wooden chest.
A man's hoarse voice came from outside the door as he laughed sinisterly. He had discovered that Shi Xingcan was here.
"Little Xing Can, Little Qi Can —" The man's voice was hoarse, and his tone was lewd, as if he was speaking in a foreign accent. Shi Xingcan wanted to take out his phone to call the police, but suddenly remembered that his phone had fallen onto his bed in a panic.
"Little Meng Can, Little Xing Can, little lady, quickly open the door so that big brother will love you —" The man knocked on the door with his knuckles as he spoke in a wretched voice.
Shi Xingcan held onto the nightgown in front of her chest tightly, his heart beating like a beating drum. She muttered Qin Yanmo's name in his heart, Why isn't he here yet …
"Aiyo!" "Ouch!" "The person outside suddenly groaned, and his voice sounded very painful." Help … "Save me …"
Shi Xingcan was startled, thinking that Qin Yanmo was here, but just as he was about to move the things away to open the door, he suddenly felt that the man's tone was a bit too pretentious. She held her breath as she listened. The person moaned for a long time, but seeing that there were no movements, he continued.
"Ouch! It hurts! Little Xingcan, big brother's place hurts so much! Come and help big brother …"
"I already called the police! You should hurry up and leave! " Shi Xingcan pressed against the door even more forcefully as he shouted loudly. Only after he shouted did he realize that his voice was trembling violently.
"Your phone is still on the bed, what did you use to call the police?" That person's tone was very proud. "There's someone else who keeps calling you. His name is Qin …" After he finished speaking, that person laughed complacently.
Thinking that Qin Yanmo was about to come, Shi Xingcan who was already covered in sweat seemed to have a little more strength and resisted the door even more forcefully. As for the man outside, seeing that Shi Xingcan had stopped talking, he suddenly slammed the door with the short rod in his hand, making a loud sound.
Shi Xingcan trembled in fear. The person outside knocked on the door a few times, then suddenly knocked on the door with force. The door was struck open a crack, and was pushed back again by Shi Xingcan. Trembling with fear, she saw a stick in the corner and quickly took it and held it against the door from a suitable angle.
"Have you never experienced this before?" The man's tone became more and more vulgar as he knocked heavily on the door. Fortunately, the wooden stick holding the door had some effect. This time, the door did not move at all.
"Brother, can I let you experience it? "You'll definitely like it. Who knows, you might even beg me to fuck you. Hehehehe …" When Shi Xingcan heard the man wiping his saliva, he got goosebumps from fright. He tried to block the door with all his might, hoping that Qin Yanmo would come quickly to save her.
"Little Xing Can, little Qi Can, come and let big brother hurt you." The man knocked a few more times, but not too hard this time. Shi Xingcan looked around, thinking about what he should take to defend himself if he were to rush in.
But then the knocking stopped. Shi Xingcan heard the sound of footsteps as she left, and then the area outside the door became quiet. The man seemed to have gone far to make a call, but Shi Xingcan was unable to hear what he was saying clearly. For a long time, there was no sound from outside. Shi Xingcan did not dare to rush out, as she was afraid that the man would still be waiting outside.
Time passed minute by second, Shi Xingcan anxiously sat on the wooden chest, listening for any movements outside. Suddenly, a few sounds broke the silence in the storage room. The voice came from right above Shi Xingcan's head. She looked up and saw that a piece of the ceiling above her had been taken off. A bald man stuck her head down, chuckled, and went back to his second piece.
Shi Xingcan screamed in fear as she quickly moved the things that were blocking the door. However, she had brought too many things with her just now, so moving them would take a lot of time. Shi Xingcan quickly pushed those heavy boxes to the side. It was not easy to create a gap for him to open the door, when she heard the sound of a man jumping onto the ground.
She pulled on the door handle and realized that the stick she had been holding against the door had not been removed.
However, it was too late. The four ceilings had been removed, revealing a hole that could let a person pass through. The man jumped down and pounced towards Shi Xingcan.
Shi Xingcan screamed loudly, but they were probably the only two people in the entire villa, and the soundproofing in the storage was surprisingly good, so no one could hear them.
"Stop shouting, big brother will make you feel great later." The bald man opened his mouth showing a mouthful of yellow teeth and laughed extremely disgustingly as he gulped down his saliva while staring at Shi Xingcan.
"Don't come over! I'll give you money! You can have as much as you want! " Shi Xingcan retreated step by step, until he was forced into a corner by the bald man.
"I want you." The bald man looked as if he was admiring his prey's struggles before he died. While rubbing his hands, he smiled sinisterly and walked towards Shi Xingcan, step by step.
"Help — —" Shi Xingcan screamed again as he raised his leg to kick the man's lower body, but he was dodged.
"Don't not know what's good for you!" The bald man pressed Shi Xingcan against the wall, "If you cooperate, we can make you feel better, understand?" The bald man said as he reached for Shi Xingcan's pajamas.
Shi Xingcan could not struggle it out, her heart was filled with despair. She knew that she must have been framed, and after this matter had been exposed, her marriage, her everything would be over.
She tried to find an opportunity to attack the man and escape. Unfortunately, the bald man's strength was too great, not giving her the slightest chance to struggle free. Just as Shi Xingcan was about to close her eyes in despair, she suddenly heard chaotic footsteps outside the door.
"Xing Can!" Qin Yanmo's voice came from outside the door.
