Qi Mengyan's jaw dropped. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Despite what she said, she still followed my instructions and closed the bedroom door. Then, she lay on the bed and covered herself with a blanket.
I did the same.
I listened carefully to the sounds outside. It was still the sound of soft footsteps.
Qi Mengyan turned to face me. Her large, bright eyes emitted waves of light that made up for the lack of darkness.
I asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Qi Mengyan said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I didn't prepare anything.
Where's the gun? Did you prepare a gun? "
I smiled faintly. "Do I need a gun to deal with these punks?"
Qi Mengyan said, "How do you know they're punks?"
As we spoke softly, we heard the faint sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole … I was stunned. How did these people get the hotel key?
While I was puzzled, the door was already opened.
I could vaguely hear more cautious footsteps as they tiptoed into the living room.
Qi Mengyan turned her head slightly and said, "Then let's make them miss. Get off the bed!" Then, she grabbed my hand.
I struggled and said, "That won't do!
That would go against Mr. Chen's intentions. "
Qi Mengyan was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly understood.
We held our breaths. I even pretended to snore. Qi Mengyan put a hand on my chest and giggled. "That's more realistic."
I blushed and said, "You're always thinking of ways to take advantage of me!"
Qi Mengyan deliberately pinched my chest. "Shh, keep snoring. They're coming!"
My chest was tickled by Qi Mengyan's rubbing, but I endured it.
Until the unfamiliar criminals gently pushed the door open and entered.
Based on my professional senses, I could sense that there were only three of them.
In the dark, I could only see their silhouettes. I couldn't see their faces clearly.
I half closed my eyes and watched their next move.
Seeing that Qi Mengyan and I were sleeping soundly, the three of them quickly surrounded the bed, forming a triangle.
I was sure that my eyes were blinded by something bright. Although the light was weak, it couldn't escape my sharp sense of smell.
It was a machete!
Three people and three machetes. It was as if they had reached a tacit agreement as they slashed at me and Qi Mengyan.
My hands pressed down, and my body slightly deviated, avoiding the attack of the machete.
Qi Mengyan nimbly got out of bed and turned on the lights in the bedroom!
We saw that all three of them were wearing the standard suits of the hotel's internal security, and they were all young men.
However, I still don't know why they wanted to assassinate Chen Fusheng.
The three men were shocked, but they quickly calmed down.
Judging from their cold gazes, they seemed to be assassins. They were definitely not as simple as the hotel's internal security.
They were obviously in disguise, or they had bribed the hotel's staff. They had taken the key to enter the room and assassinate him.
I pretended to be scared and asked them, "You, who are you?"
One of the men with a mustache sneered. "Is that important?
You're going to be dead soon! "
I was scared and shivered. "Do you really want to kill us?"
The mustached man raised the machete in his hand. "People can lie, but machetes can't."
At this moment, another man suddenly whispered something in the mustached man's ear. The mustached man's face changed, and he suddenly pointed the machete at me.
I didn't dodge and let the machete touch my neck.
The mustached man cautiously glanced at us and frowned. "Tell me your names."
I said, "You came here to kill us, but you don't know who we are?"
The mustached man gritted his teeth. "Fine.
You're going to be dead soon anyway. I'll let you know why.
We're here to kill that old man Chen Fusheng!
You must be Chen Fusheng's lackeys, right? "
I was stunned. My previous judgment had become reality.
Although I still had many doubts, I understood some of the reasons.
Qi Mengyan had a machete at her neck. She didn't lose the chance to ask, "If we're your lackeys, whose lackeys are you?"
The mustached man laughed. "I heard that the two people Chen Fusheng brought here are quite skilled. Today, I see that they're just rice buckets!
You let us hold your neck so easily. Where did your skills go? "
I said, "If we're going to be dead soon, can you let us know who sent you here?"
The mustached man said fiercely, "You don't have the right to know!
However, I can give you a way out. Tell me, did that old man Chen Fusheng find out something? That's why he sent you to his room to be his scapegoats? "
I said, "If you knew about it, would you still be here safe and sound?"
The mustached man said, "Don't talk nonsense!
Tell us where that old man Chen Fusheng is. Hurry up and tell us! "The mustached man pressed the machete against my neck, and a cold light flashed.
These arrogant people didn't realize the danger they were in!
I smiled and deliberately said, "If you tell me who you are, I'll tell you where Chen Fusheng is!"
The three men looked at each other. The mustached man snorted. "You're about to die, and you still want to talk terms with us?
Hmph, today is the day you die!
You're going to be Chen Fusheng's funeral goods! "
Qi Mengyan suddenly crossed her arms and smiled mysteriously. "You want us to be your funeral goods?
You're talking big! "
I continued, "Many people wanted to kill me, but in the end, they went to see the King of Hell.
Do you think you're going to be an exception? "
The mustached man said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Kill them and then go find that old man Chen Fusheng!"
Although we were full of doubts, we would be in danger if we continued like this.
I didn't waste any time and winked at Qi Mengyan. Almost in an instant, we flipped our wrists, and before the men could react, we grabbed the machete against their necks!
It was strange. I couldn't believe that Qi Mengyan and I had reached a tacit understanding and used the same method to counterattack.
Almost at the same time, we quickly punched and kicked each other in the abdomen.
The machete fell, and the men were forced to retreat.
After reversing the situation, the three men continued to attack us. However, they couldn't pose any threat to me and Qi Mengyan.
After a few punches and kicks, the three men were like turtles in a jar.
Although they knew some martial arts, they were unlucky to be able to fight against me and Qi Mengyan.
After restraining the three men, we closed the door and pressed the machete against their necks to force them to tell us the truth.
However, the three men were very stubborn, and we couldn't get anything out of them.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Qi Mengyan gave me a signal and cautiously went to the door, asking who it was.
It turned out to be Chen Fusheng and Sister Mei.
Qi Mengyan opened the door and let Chen Fusheng and Sister Mei in.
Chen Fusheng's expression was indifferent. He winked at Qi Mengyan and turned on the lights in the living room.
Qi Mengyan was about to report the matter to Chen Fusheng, but Chen Fusheng waved his hand and said, "I know!"
Qi Mengyan was surprised and brought Chen Fusheng into the bedroom.
After Chen Fusheng saw the scene in front of him, he wasn't surprised and said casually, "Forget it, don't ask, it's useless!"
I was still confused. I didn't know what Chen Fusheng was trying to do!
From Chen Fusheng's calm expression, I guessed that he had already predicted this assassination attempt.
Moreover, he swapped rooms with us in advance out of self-preservation.
However, I was still puzzled. If Chen Fusheng knew that someone wanted to assassinate him, why didn't he discuss this matter with me and Qi Mengyan?
Moreover, who were these three stupid assassins? How did they know where we were staying and where Chen Fusheng's room was?
When the three men saw Chen Fusheng, they seemed to have guessed the truth of the matter.
Chen Fusheng didn't do anything else. He just called Sun Yumin and asked him to take the three men away.
After arranging everything, Chen Fusheng sat down with us.
At this moment, Qi Mengyan and I were still confused and waiting for Chen Fusheng to tell us the truth.
Chen Fusheng tapped the table with his middle finger and took a sip of the tea Sister Mei had brewed for him. He glanced at me and Qi Mengyan and asked with a smile, "It's strange, isn't it?"
Qi Mengyan and I looked at each other. Qi Mengyan was the first to question, "Did Mr. Chen already know that someone was going to assassinate him tonight?"
Chen Fusheng checkmated us. "Didn't you know?"
Qi Mengyan furrowed her brows and looked a little angry.
She gritted her teeth and tried to calm herself down. Then, she said, "No wonder Mr. Chen wanted to exchange rooms with us. So this was the reason!"
Chen Fusheng smiled faintly and said, "Are you scolding me indirectly?
Xiao Qi, Xiao Zhao.
You're both the best of the best. If you can't even take care of these small fries, how can I trust you? "
Qi Mengyan asked, "So, this is Mr. Chen testing us?"
Chen Fusheng said, "Of course not.
You're Chen Fusheng's right-hand men. When I exchanged rooms with you, you should have sensed something.
Even if you can't detect it, do you think the few people who committed the crime tonight can pose any threat to you? "
Qi Mengyan frowned and said, "Mr. Chen is risking my and Zhao Long's lives. Is he joking?"
Chen Fusheng was a little displeased. "If your life force is so weak, you can think of it that way.
But I can tell you now that this is just the beginning! "
Qi Mengyan and I looked at each other and felt even more confused.
Chen Fusheng continued, "These three people today aren't real assassins.
They're pebbles thrown out to ask for directions!
Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, we'll be able to catch them!
We'll catch the small ones first, then the big ones! "
