Chapter 5636： Strange voice, strange man

Qiao Nian placed one hand on the acupuncture point on the inner side of the wrist of the hand he was covering his eyes with, and pressed his eyelashes down, as if they had deliberately crossed the palm of his hand.

"Who are you?"

The other party was silent for a while.

"You don't know who I am and why are you here?"

"Count de Reims?"

“…”

In the darkness, their breaths were intertwined, like clusters of flames testing each other, sometimes fighting, sometimes blending together.

Qiao Nian twitched her lips and smiled before she could speak.

The man who was hugging her closely behind her was the first to answer: "It's true that there are killers outside, and it's true that there are more than one. And I didn't break the switch. If it wasn't you who did it, then we are in danger now. Let’s talk later.”

As if to match what he said, there was indeed the sound of opening and closing doors outside.

Not surprisingly, the killer he calls is looking for someone.

Qiao Nian pricked up her ears and heard the sound approaching. She released the hand holding his life gate and said in a breathy voice: "Wait for me here, and I will lure them away."

However, the arms of the person in the darkness tightened around her waist, pulling her back and pressing her firmly against his chest.

"Do not talk."

“…”

The completely unfamiliar voice and unfamiliar force made her frown slightly. She turned her head slightly, the corners of her mouth slowly dropped, and was about to look back with eyes that were gradually adapting to the darkness.

She saw the arm holding her from behind loosen, and the hand dropped down, turning into holding her wrist, pulling her forward.

"follow me."

Before Qiao Nian had time to react, the wall behind her moved slightly, and she was dragged into a darker and more crevicey space.

Before she could turn back, the wall of the dark room moved back again, and they hid inside the secret room. There's no electricity outside, and there's no electricity inside.

Qiao Nian heard the footsteps outside coming closer and closer in the next second. Someone opened the door from outside, came in and started rummaging around.

She knew now was not a good time to talk.

I had no choice but to hold back in the dark and wait until the people searching outside left.

But the person behind her seemed to know her concerns, and the hand around her wrist hadn't been released yet. I don't know if she had forgotten or on purpose...

Qiao Nian could feel the constant aura of aggression coming from the body behind her, and the hormones belonging to the opposite **** wrapped her up in the small space, like another form of hug.

This gesture is too ambiguous for a man and woman who have just met.

But under the current situation.

Not so fascinating.

The man behind her didn't seem to notice anything, but he still stayed close to her, his breath pouring behind her, but he didn't say a word in the darkness.

Qiao Nian didn't move his hands, his eyes drooped down, and there was a hint of malicious cynicism in his careless heart.

When her footsteps searching the room were closest to their hiding place, she suddenly raised her other hand to pull away the hand that held hers.

It was as if his thumb had inadvertently scratched the other person's phalanges, and it was as if they were separated from each other at the first touch, and it seemed that the feeling of touch was deliberately prolonged.

Qiao Nian felt that the person behind him stopped breathing for a few seconds.

She raised the corners of her lips, looked wildly, and looked outside. She couldn't see anything in the darkness, but she could vaguely tell that someone was coming again.

A burst of electricity roared past.

Qiao Nian heard voices that probably came from her ears.

"Have you found anyone? Someone downstairs failed to assassinate Shi Lao. Someone will come up soon to investigate. You must find someone to kill him immediately." (End of Chapter)
