Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Can’t Let My Sister Be Wronged Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Can’t Let My Sister Be Wronged “I’m sorry for startling you.” Even when Pei Jue fought, his movements were graceful and pleasing to the eye, as if every punch was meticulously planned, full of explosive force!
Qingwu was momentarily stunned.
For the first time in her life, someone stood up for her!
Since the death of the Lin Family’s matriarch, no one in the whole family had ever taken her side.
Every time she encountered Lu Mingchuan, even if Qingwu did nothing, Qian Yueqiang would find some excuse to lock her up at home and allow Lin Xuecheng to date Lu Mingchuan.
Even when Lin Xuecheng was only a maid’s daughter, her treatment in the Lin Family was still better than hers.
But she never cared about Lu Mingchuan and Lin Xuecheng.
The Lin Family’s matriarch once held her hand and gently said, “Our Nannan deserves the best man, one who will protect you unconditionally.”
Looking at Pei Jue adjusting his sleeves in front of her, Qingwu felt an inexplicable warmth on her face!
Pei Jue lowered his head, and the light scent of sandalwood reached Qingwu’s nose. His deep, magnetic voice softly resonated, “Did I frighten you? Sorry, I couldn’t hold back just now.”
He seemed a bit nervous, momentarily forgetting that standing in front of him wasn’t just an ordinary young lady, but a top international assassin!
“Thank you.”
“Who was that guy just now?”
Qingwu’s expression was indifferent, “Just some trash, not important.”
“He said he was your fiancé.”
Qingwu shrugged, “I have better taste than that.”
Pei Jue’s eyes showed a hint of dark joy. Even though he knew that the man had no connection with her, hearing her deny it brought a wave of happiness over him.
“Tarzan and the Drug King should have gone to the private room, let’s head over.”
Qingwu nodded, bending down to pick up the ruby cufflink Pei Jue had dropped on the floor and handed it to him.
Instead, Pei Jue extended his hand, the empty cuff of his sleeve in front of Qingwu, his eyes filled with mischievous humor.
Qingwu: “…”
Helping a man put on a cufflink seemed a bit overly intimate, but since Pei Jue had just stood up for her, it wouldn’t be right to pretend not to know him!
Thinking this, Qingwu didn’t refuse, lowering her head to help him fasten the cufflink.
Her fingers carried a slight chill as they brushed against Pei Jue’s wrist, stirring up a ripple of sensation.
Pei Jue clasped Qingwu’s wrist, leading her out of the dance floor and toward the private room.
Qingwu helplessly watched him!
It’s not like she couldn’t walk, so why was he holding onto her?
Her hand was soft, not at all like that of a sharpshooter without a single callus, warm to hold, making him reluctant to let go.
“There are a lot of people, don’t get separated from me, apologies.”
Though he said apologies, Pei Jue’s smile never faded from his lips!
…
X Bar, back street.
Lu Mingchuan was thrown by several bodyguards directly next to the garbage bin in the back street. The intense pain left him without the strength to move.
“Damn it, Qingwu, aren’t you just here to drink with people? Who do you think you are, acting so aloof? Just wait until you fall into my hands, let’s see how you’ll beg for mercy… hsss…”
“What a little b****, a country bumpkin is still a country bumpkin, it’s her fortune that I fancy her! Qingwu, you just wait!”
That pretty boy hit too hard!
Once he finds out the truth, he’ll make Qingwu and her little lover pay with their lives!
A strong flashlight beam shone at the alley entrance, and the vagrants originally sitting in the corner immediately ran over to relay what Lu Mingchuan had just said to Shen Boyi.
Shen Boyi’s eyes were filled with malice!
This scum dared to covet his sister and speak so rudely?
Doesn’t he know his own limits?
It seemed that at the time he encountered him at the mall entrance, he should have investigated further, or his sister wouldn’t have been kidnapped and suffered unwarranted calamity. It was his failure as a brother worrying that his sister wouldn’t like it!
Shen Boyi suppressed the fury in his heart, his thin lips lifted slightly, “Beat him, leave him breathing.”
A dozen thugs surged forward!
From the alley came Lu Mingchuan’s screams and pleas for mercy.
Standing in the shadows, Shen Boyi lit a cigar. Between the swirling smoke, a look of regret and self-reproach covered his handsome face.
He left Lu Mingchuan alive so that he could watch the Lu Family go bankrupt with his own eyes!
…
Inside X Bar, there were hundreds of private rooms. The top-level rooms couldn’t be entered without an X Bar SVIP. The champagne here started at hundreds of thousands, and the floor was gilded, stepping onto it felt like walking into a Saudi palace!
“Sir and madam, do you have a reservation?”
The waiter stopped Pei Jue and Qingwu. All the guests with reservations that evening had already arrived, but these two stood out with their regal presence, and the waiter dared not offend them.
Pei Jue presented his card. The waiter quickly took it and hurried off to verify.
“Mr. Pei, please go ahead, your exclusive private room is ready!”
“No need, the European guests who just went to that room are my friends. I’ll join them instead.”
The waiter quickly replied, “Mr. Tarzan is in private room 8, please!”
Pei Jue put away his card and led Qingwu towards private room 8.
“Do you come here often?”
Otherwise, why would you have the card?
“No need to explain, I understand.”
Pei Jue smiled, warm like the breeze, showing no trace of aggression, yet his tone carried a hint of panic!
“Deep Sea bought a room here; I had many domestic missions last year, and it’s convenient here. The cocktails are pretty good, I’ll take you to try them sometime.”
It was normal for the Assassin Organization to operate in nightclubs, and Qingwu also had an exclusive room in this bar!
She was just asking, so why was he so nervous?
Outside private room 8 stood many bodyguards, burly men in black suits and sunglasses glancing around, alert to every passerby. Each man had a bulge at his waist, clearly carrying firearms!
“Who goes there? Leave immediately!”
Pei Jue extended his hand, encircling Qingwu’s waist, pulling her closer to him as they walked into the adjacent room to room 8.
The bodyguards frowned at the door of room 9 for a long time. Several burly men stepped forward, ears pressed against the door, trying to hear what the people inside were doing.
Pei Jue opened the door, the top button of his collar undone, his expression gloomy, “Scram!”
Seeing this, the bodyguards assumed they were just lovebirds looking for a private spot and relaxed, returning to their original posts.
Qingwu watched as Pei Jue undid his collar button right before her, revealing a seductive Adam’s apple, and awkwardly shifted her gaze.
“You’re quite adept at this.”
“It turns out this is a good disguise, though it’s my first time using it.”
After all, he hadn’t had a suitable partner to disguise with before!
“Does that mean you often use other disguises?”
Pei Jue paused, feeling Qingwu’s words had an underlying meaning.
“You’ll find out what disguises I use in the future.”
Qingwu furrowed her brow slightly.
Why should she care about his disguises?!
Room 9 was inconspicuous, the smallest on X Bar’s fourth floor, barely accommodating both Qingwu and Pei Jue.
But being an independent room on the fourth floor, room 9 had its unique value!
Qingwu reached out, using her fingerprint to unlock the electronic display in front of them, revealing a live feed from room 8!
Pei Jue’s deep eyes were filled with surprise and delight!
“The High Tower isn’t to be underestimated; you’re lucky you picked my room.”
“I think the fortunate part wasn’t the choice of room, but the choice of person.”
Qingwu looked up at Pei Jue’s chiseled side profile in the darkness, with his pronounced jawline as if sculpted by knives, his lips curved in a slight smile, eyes fervently gazing at her!
Her heart skipped a beat, as if a tiny seed in the darkness had broken through the soil…
